"You want to take him as an Emissary?"

Leis Jing was still a bit unhappy, as if a big toy had been snatched away, a feeling he couldn't quite articulate.

"Jingjing, don't be so contrary. Do you have any idea how terrifying this Hermes really is?"

As a mother, the Purple Thorn Sovereign God knew her child's temperament all too well.

"Terrifying?"

Leis Jing's lips curled in a barely perceptible sneer. "How terrifying can he be?"

"Hmph, so what if he beat my Big Purple to a pulp with his bare hands? Big Purple will revive in a while anyway!"

Though he wouldn't admit it, the fact that he was willing to befriend Hermes said enough.

Leis Jing was just stubborn with his words.

"Jingjing, you should know that a Seven-star Demon is nothing special."

"But Hermes shattered a Purple Crystal Monster whose body was as tough as a High-grade Divine Artifact with his bare hands. What level of material attack is that?"

The Purple Thorn Sovereign God said.

"Mother, the peak Asuras of Hell can do that too."

Leis Jing wanted to prove that Hermes wasn't actually that impressive.

That way, he could keep this 'big toy' for himself.

Besides, Leis Jing had discovered that Hermes wasn't just powerful—he was also incredibly interesting.

"But Hermes has only fused three profound mysteries, yet he accomplished what a peak Asura can do."

Leis Jing fell silent.

"I've noticed that Hermes's soul is flawless and complete, yet it doesn't feel like a Sovereign Artifact."

With a Sovereign's mastery over the soul, the Purple Thorn Sovereign God easily detected the uniqueness of Hermes's soul.

But she wasn't yet certain whether 'Silver Moon' was a Sovereign Artifact.

"Logically, a special life form with such extraordinary talent shouldn't have remained so obscure."

Purple Crystal Divine Beasts were naturally adept in soul matters, and the Purple Thorn was a Sovereign whose divine power and soul power were one.

Hermes's peculiarities couldn't hide from her at all.

The Purple Thorn Sovereign God didn't know that her guess was entirely correct.

If Hermes hadn't broken through to Middle God by fusing profound mysteries and left the Great Earth God Realm for Hell early on, Right now!

He would have been taken as a Sovereign's Emissary while still a Lower God, becoming a legendary figure almost impossible to surpass.

"Boom~!"

A towering golden mountain abruptly appeared within the Purple Crystal Mountain Range.

The mountain's peak thrust directly above the Mist Sea, just as Hermes had envisioned earlier.

Now, it was finally realized!

Beside the golden mountain sat a castle formed from a Metal Life.

In this mist-shrouded and perilous Purple Crystal Mountain Range, it was certainly a peculiar sight.

"Bamer, is your master still in seclusion?"

Leis Jing, who looked like a bald young boy, was currently lying on a black-red rock.

A blade of grass dangling from his mouth, he wore an expression of utter boredom.

"No!"

Bamer didn't dare provoke this little ancestor and could only reply respectfully.

"Ugh, so boring. The Purple Crystal Mountain Range is truly too boring!"

Leis Jing said.

He had originally wanted to ask if Hermes was a Sovereign's Emissary, but he didn't want to be so blunt.

When Hermes wanted to leave the Purple Crystal Mountain Range, he would naturally have to ask for Leis Jing's help.

Then, Leis Jing could smoothly ask that question.

Leis Jing's plan was good.

But he never expected that Hermes wouldn't play by the rules at all.

Coming to the Purple Crystal Mountain Range, Hermes had never planned to leave anytime soon!

Not only that, ignoring the shocked stares of Leis Jing and the others, Hermes directly transformed into his Golden Mountain True Body and took up permanent residence in the Purple Crystal Mountain Range.

Beneath the vast golden mountain lay precisely the mountain hollow in the Purple Crystal Mountain Range with the most Purple Crystal Grottoes.

Within the mountain belly of the Golden Mountain.

A golden space that seemed to exist outside this world.

Hermes's consciousness descended.

"Devour, devour for me!"

His consciousness commanded, and one transparent crystal after another, shaped like purple crystals, shattered, turning into clusters of purple mist.

The purple crystals within the golden space were naturally piled up like mountains.

From time to time, Hermes would dig out some special ore from the Purple Crystal Mountain Range to devour.

But he always felt something was missing.

"Still a bit short, why is it still a bit short!"

Hermes was growing impatient.

He had taken on his true body and lived in the Purple Crystal Mountain Range for tens of thousands of years.

He had long since become familiar with Leis Jing.

On the other hand, Leis Jing, having failed to fulfill his Sovereign God mother's instructions, was now trapped in mental exhaustion day after day.

"Enough waiting, let the Fire Element Law become a god first!"

Hermes had profound insights into all six profound mysteries of the Fire Element Law.

The lack of a breakthrough was purely the result of his own active suppression.

At this moment, the Fire Element and Fire Body Profound Mystery had already fused to the critical point of naturally becoming a god.

"Boom~!"

The terrifying and ancient Heavenly Law descended instantly.

Leis Jing scrambled up from the large rock, the blade of grass he had been chewing falling from his mouth.

"This, this is the Fire Element?"

He also had dual talents in the Great Earth Law and Destruction Rule, so he naturally knew what Hermes was doing.

A black crystal floated directly at the waist of the towering golden mountain.

"Ah~!"

Hermes let out a miserable scream.

Leis Jing shuddered.

"It really hurts!"

When the world first opened, why were there so many unlucky ones who became gods with their true bodies? It wasn't just because they feared the weakness brought by the Soul Split.

There was also the unbearable pain.

Even after countless years, Leis Jing still felt a lingering fear.

Although the Heavenly Law protected them, and splitting their life soul carried no risk of soul collapse, this pain, this feeling of almost having their soul scatter, Leis Jing would never forget.

"Rumble~!"

The same was true for Hermes.

At this moment, he was already in so much pain that his Golden Mountain True Body trembled.

"Bamer, your master is truly impressive, even causing an earthquake just by splitting his soul to become a god."

Leis Jing's teasing, Bamer naturally wouldn't respond to.

"You're all big shots, I can't afford to provoke you!"

He kept his eyes on his nose, his nose on his heart.

Wearing an expression of serene composure.

Not far away, a Wind Element High God sat cross-legged in cultivation.

Trist had now become Bamer's follower.

Although he still couldn't leave the Purple Crystal Mountain Range, these tens of thousands of years had been the safest of his life.

As the instigator of all the deadly crises, Leis Jing lay on the large rock not far away.

Without the slightest awareness of guilt for disregarding life.

During Hermes's seclusion, Leis Jing still occasionally toyed with the people trapped in the Purple Crystal Mountain Range.

This was one of the few pleasures he could find, and no one could take that right away from him.

Not even his Sovereign God mother.

"Eh, that's not right—why isn't Hermes coming out yet?"

The fire-element godhood manifested: a red-haired Hermes over three meters tall appeared for just a moment before vanishing.

He had retreated into his soul space.

Leis Jing was bored enough to actually wait here, determined to drag Hermes out this time.

"Boom~!"

Only a few hundred years passed before another surge of Heavenly Law descended, and the red-haired Hermes appeared once more.

A Demigod Spark radiating a crimson glow was directly elevated to a God Divine Spark under the transformation of the Heavenly Law.

"Could Hermes's fire-element talent really be this high?"

Leis Jing muttered to himself.

Outside the Purple Crystal Mountain Range.

There were eighteen large castles in total, and inside the one with the largest footprint.

"Everyone, speak your minds~!"
