Linley had once again reached the crossroads of choosing between achieving godhood within his body or outside it.
He made his choice without the slightest hesitation. Both divine sparks would be placed outside his body!
"Ah—!"
Linley could not help crying out in agony as the soul of his Sanctuary True Body was torn apart twice!
His souls fused separately with the two Low-level God divine sparks!
The doubled agony of having his soul torn apart nearly caused Linley to pass out. Fortunately, he was under the special protection of the laws of heaven and earth. Otherwise, he would have been completely unable to withstand this damage that struck directly at his origin.
Very soon, Linley sensed the oceans of life and death divine power. He immediately focused his mind and began absorbing divine power to forge divine bodies. With a thought, he formed a cyan-green robe and a black robe respectively.
Over at the Tianlan Tribe...
The memories of Linley's Lightning God Clone synchronized, allowing him to learn of the situation on his true body's side. He was in an excellent mood, and a satisfied smile curled up at the corners of his lips.
He now had four Divine Avatars. Looking across the entire Hell, such an existence was as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
Linley spread out his Spiritual Sense and saw hundreds of god-level powerhouses and a flourishing tribe. After exchanging a few words with Corey and the others, he emerged from the training room and summoned the five women.
Linley smiled. "Pack up anything you need. We're leaving now."
Diana asked in surprise, "Where are we going?"
For a moment, she had no idea what Linley meant.
The four maids were equally bewildered. They had no idea what was going on, and their eyes were filled with clear, innocent curiosity.
Their identities were special. As the women of the tribe's leader, they naturally did not need to work like ordinary Saint Domains.
They spent most of their time cultivating and relaxing inside the castle. No outsiders would come to disturb them, and they knew very little about the tribe's affairs in their daily lives.
Since Linley did not take the initiative to tell them, naturally, no one else would say anything either.
All these years, they had devoted themselves to competing for his favor, hoping to give birth to children and receive divine sparks as rewards.
Linley simply explained, "I bought a house in Red Stone City..."
He was a man of action. Since he had made his plans, he would deal with these matters as soon as possible so that he could cultivate steadily in the city.
"That's wonderful!"
The women were both surprised and delighted. They immediately went to pack their things. In the midst of her excitement, Diana remembered that she still had a son and pleaded, "My lord, could you bring Arthur along as well?"
Linley put an arm around her slender waist and smiled. "Durandal and Arthur will both be coming with us. You don't need to worry about him."
Diana said gratefully, "Thank you, my lord."
She thought Linley was doing it for her sake.
"My lord, we're ready."
The maids' little faces were flushed as they quickly put the things they needed in their Space Rings, their hearts filled with fantasies about their future lives.
In the tribe's open area.
Hundreds of people filed aboard the Metal Life. Every face was radiant with pride and joy.
The sight filled many of the tribe's lower-ranking members with envy and jealousy.
Countless streams of Magnetic Field Power gathered like a tidal vortex and flowed toward the Metal Life.
Linley silently sensed this scene. Relying on the magnetic field talent brought by his transmigration, no one could conceal the emotions deep within their hearts from him.
Over the years, he occasionally inspected the tribe. This allowed him to accurately find Saint Domains with especially strong negative emotions and resentment, assign them the most grueling work, and exploit them mercilessly until the last drop of their blood was squeezed out.
The Blood Crystal Mine's output was only a tiny profit to Linley now, but over a long enough period, it would still become a steady stream of wealth. Naturally, he would not recklessly abandon it. He even planned to expand the operation until it covered the territory controlled by Bloodthirsty Castle.
Camilla was already dead. Once enough time passed and the news spread far and wide, her territory would sooner or later be targeted by other powerhouses and forces. The Blood Crystal Mine there was much richer.
"Corey, I'll leave the tribe to you."
"Don't worry. I'll expand the tribe's influence and win a vast empire for you!"
Linley spread out his Spiritual Sense to confirm that the numbers and identities were correct. Then he activated the Metal Life, sending it soaring and accelerating. In the blink of an eye, it vanished into the distant sky.
Within Red Stone City.
"Thankfully, I prepared a large number of Soul Gold Beads. Otherwise, I really would have suffered."
Linley's face was pale. Achieving godhood in life and death at the same time was certainly exhilarating, but the price was not small.
With his soul split into three, he had become extremely weak. Even the range covered by his magnetic field and his sensing range had decreased considerably once again.
One Soul Gold Bead after another was refined, and the soul energy within was absorbed. Gradually, Linley's complexion visibly regained its healthy color...
When he had recovered to the state he had been in before achieving godhood,
his comprehension of laws and rules also returned to its proper level.
Linley rubbed his brow and muttered, "There's still the Fate Rule talent left..."
Just thinking about it gave him a headache!
His Fate Rule talent was not actually that poor. It simply could not compare to the Lightning Law and the other three major rules.
Over the years, he had bought cultivation methods related to the Fate Law. His Sanctuary True Body occasionally cultivated it, and it had now reached the level of the Saint Domain Peak.
In Hell, very few people cultivated the Fate Rule.
Moreover, he only cultivated it occasionally. This efficiency was already acceptable.
Linley was simply accustomed to rapidly advancing and transforming his strength. Facing this hard bone, he felt somewhat troubled for the moment.
Linley's heart brimmed with anticipation as his imagination ran wild. "I've never heard of anyone gathering Divine Avatars of all Four Major Rules!"
He silently pondered whether revealing so many Divine Avatars would be good or bad, and whether it might attract the attention of an Overgod.
But from another perspective, perhaps this was an opportunity to come into contact with an Overgod?
"I'd better not reveal them..."
Linley reached his decision without much hesitation.
He disliked having others control the initiative over his fate. Five Divine Avatars were simply too conspicuous. Even if every one of them was weak, they would still attract attention—let alone the fact that he was destined to be anything but ordinary.
He took a black notebook made of a special material from his Space Ring. Blood-colored patterns covered its surface, and the moment he tried to turn a page, resistance stopped him from opening it.
Camilla had set up a Magic Array on it before her death. Spiritual Sense could not directly probe its contents, and the eyes of a god naturally could not see through it either.
If the Magic Array were forcibly destroyed, it would trigger a self-destruct mechanism.
However, Linley was a special case.
His Magnetic Field Power was unaffected!
This was interesting. It meant that the knowledge and information inside the notebook were completely undefended before Linley.
At first, Linley had wondered why Camilla had recorded some of her important knowledge and experience in a book. Could a god-level powerhouse—and a Five-star Demon at that—really not remember such things?
Who knew!
In a large forest, there were all kinds of birds. The same applied to Hell. There were god-level powerhouses with every kind of personality, preference, and habit. Why bother worrying about it?
Camilla could never have imagined that another sensory system existed in this world besides Spiritual Sense, one that could examine everything clearly and leave nothing hidden.
The Magic Array she had painstakingly set up was greatly diminished in effectiveness before Linley.
"There's a Space Ring hidden in the notebook's inner compartment too!"
Linley was very curious about what secret Camilla had hidden.
