The two elders of the White Tiger Family exchanged glances, then suddenly took out their metal life. The immense pressure of the White Tiger did not diminish.

All the High Gods of the White Tiger Family boarded the White Tiger metal life and instantly vanished into the horizon.

After the experts of the White Tiger Family left, the surrounding onlookers of God level became a bit more boisterous.

"I really didn't expect it to end like this."

"Two Seven-star Devils have fallen. It's enough to alarm the entire Hell, I reckon."

"Yeah, Grayblood Devil actually pulled Elder Stuke into a spatial rift. Grayblood Devil actually wanted to die together!"

"You don't know the full story, it's not that simple."

"Oh? Is there something else?"

"It's obvious you haven't been to Red Maple Prefecture for long."

"I've only been here for a few decades."

"No wonder. Let me tell you, a hundred years ago, Elder Stuke took a fancy to Grayblood Devil's wife, Aiteli, and then..."

The surrounding God level experts quickly recounted various versions of "love and hate entanglements."

"These guys really jump to conclusions."

Calorona naturally heard many people speaking and pouted.

"Do you know the reason?"

Beirut's small eyes looked at Calorona and asked.

Calorona didn't hide anything and casually nodded, transmitting her voice, "The origin of the conflict between Wai and Stuke was indeed because of Aiteli. However, it wasn't that Stuke took a fancy to Aiteli, but that Stuke wanted to dig out Aiteli's heart bone."

"Heart bone?"

Beirut's small eyes narrowed.

Calorona responded with a sigh, "Aiteli and Wai are both members of the Xue Na Family. My teacher said that the ancestor of the Xue Na Family, Xena, became a god with the body of a cold ice snow lotus. Her descendants all contain the bloodline of the cold ice snow lotus. Those with a dense bloodline possess a heart bone. The heart bone is unique to the cold ice snow lotus clan. It is condensed by clan members using their essence blood through a secret innate technique. I heard that even High God clan members can only condense one or two pieces. Even High-level Sovereign Artifacts find it difficult to destroy a heart bone; it can only be refined through special methods."

"If some refined heart bone is added to a divine artifact, its power will greatly increase!"

"However, clan members of the Xue Na Family who possess a heart bone are all core members. Stuke digging out Aiteli's heart bone was probably for refining divine artifacts."

Calorona said.

"So that's how it is."

Beirut nodded. He didn't feel anything wrong with Stuke's actions, as this was, after all, a world of the jungle.

Calorona seemed a bit worried about Beirut provoking the Four Divine Beast Families and kindly reminded him, "The Four Divine Beast Families are quite overbearing in their actions. In the future, when you venture into the Divine Plane, it's best not to have any dealings with the Four Divine Beast Families unless absolutely necessary."

"Four Divine Beast Families."

Beirut also nodded.

Although he didn't know how strong the Four Divine Beast Families were, he still kept Calorona's reminder in his heart.

"This White Tiger Family doesn't look like they'll let this go."

Although Morit had little contact with the Four Divine Beast Families, he had lived for countless years and was very clear about their methods of handling affairs.

The fall of a Seven-star Devil clan member was probably the greatest loss for the Four Divine Beast Families in trillions of years.

"Do they still want to charge into the Burning Volcano Mountain Range?"

Kakqi shook his head casually.

Wai's last words stated that Grayblood Devil killed Stuke, not an elder of the Xue Na Family, clearly taking all the blame upon himself. Now that he was dead, would the White Tiger Family vent their anger on the Xue Na Family? That would be too much.

Moreover, a fight to the death inherently meant that life and death were uncertain.

With Stuke's fall, the Four Divine Beast Families should have considered this.

"Heh heh, these Four Divine Beast Families might actually do something like that."

Morit chuckled lightly.

Having lived for so long, he had seen too many such things. It wasn't just the Four Divine Beast Families that would do this, but any powerful force might.

In the Divine Plane, strength was the only fairness.

Lota didn't pay attention to Morit and Kakqi's conversation. He looked at Beirut, then softly said, "You two, continue to secretly keep an eye on Beirut."

Regardless of what the Four Divine Beast Families did, Beirut's growth was the most important thing.

"Yes!"

Hearing Lota's command, the two replied with serious expressions.

"Kakqi, create a clone and accompany me to wander around Hell."

Lota continued.

Although he came to Hell because of Beirut, he was actually curious about Calorona. After all, she was also an expert who had appeared in "Earth Memory."

Besides that, he also had some matters he wanted to clarify.

It was time to clarify them.

If it were like in "Earth Memory," where Leiding and the others died at Augusta's hands, and the specific reason why.

Although there were some speculations, they hadn't been confirmed yet.

Having spent countless years in the Qingya Plane, he was actually a bit bored. Traveling the plane using Projection Clones was something all Sovereign Gods did from time to time.

Hell would likely be the center in "Earth Memory" in the future, so he had to take a closer look.

"Yes."

Kakqi responded respectfully.

He had three clones: Destruction, Life, and Water. Due to a soul mutation, the strength of these three clones was the same. Any single clone possessed the strength of a Peak Asura.

Asura was merely a title for strength, not a fixed realm.

Many High Gods, by fusing four Profound Mysteries and possessing some powerful ultimate moves or Talent Divine Powers, already had the strength of an Asura.

Fusing five Profound Mysteries, combined with some additional moves, placed them among the more powerful Asuras.

The Four Major Rules did not have specific Profound Mystery divisions, but Kakqi's comprehension of the Life Law had already reached the level of fusing five Profound Mysteries comparable to Laws. Based on Laws alone, he possessed the strength of an Asura.

Coupled with the enhancements from his soul mutation in various aspects, he was at the peak among Asuras.

Hell, Blood Peak Continent.

You Lan Prefecture, Sky Altar Mountain Range.

This Sky Altar Mountain Range was extremely vast, almost the largest mountain range on the Blood Peak Continent. Including its branches, it stretched for tens of millions of miles.

From high above, the Sky Altar Mountain Range had four entrances from different directions.

These led directly to the Azure Dragon Leiding Clan, the White Tiger Lius Clan, the Vermilion Bird Nimo Clan, and the Black Tortoise Bowen Clan. Each entrance was marked by colossal carvings of the Four Divine Beasts, thousands of meters high, each stone sculpture facing a different direction.

Such massive stone sculptures would be difficult for even a High God to create with lifelike detail.

Yet, these four colossal stone sculptures were like giant divine beasts that had come to life, faintly exuding a terrifying pressure. These four stone sculptures alone were enough to showcase the immense heritage of the Four Divine Beast Families.

The outer reaches of the Sky Altar Mountain Range were patrolled by countless High Gods, forming a guard that patrolled the entire Sky Altar Mountain Range almost without any gaps.

The Four Divine Beast Families were at the height of their power!

Within the family grounds of the White Tiger Lius Clan.

Stuke flew out of his private dwelling with a grim expression, heading directly towards the main hall of the White Tiger Clan.

"Damn it!"

Stuke was furious in his heart.

That Wai dared to drag him down with him! This could absolutely not have been Wai's idea; it must have been the Xue Na Family's. Otherwise, how could Wai have possessed Sovereign Power!

The main hall of the White Tiger Clan was located at the foot of a steep cliff.

The cliff face was incredibly smooth, as if sliced by a blade, carved with various divine beasts and battle scenes.

Outside the cliff face was flat ground, upon which several uniquely designed buildings were constructed.

Stuke landed outside the cliff face and walked towards the hall. Some guards saw Stuke and did not stop him. The elders of the Four Divine Beast Families held very high positions.

Reaching the entrance of a side hall, Stuke bowed slightly and announced loudly, "Stuke requests an audience with the Clan Leader!"

"Enter."

A resonant voice sounded from within the side hall.

"Yes."

Stuke took a few deep breaths before stepping into the side hall.

The side hall was very spacious, with only twelve massive stone pillars in the center. Besides that, a man sat on a stone chair at the head of the hall.

The man wore a white robe with peculiar patterns, making the entire robe look like tiger skin. The man's expression was extremely cold.

This man was the son of the White Tiger Sovereign God, and the current Clan Leader of the White Tiger Clan, Gus Lius.

Gus himself was the child of a Sovereign God. The White Tiger Sovereign God, Lius, had personally used his own Essence Blood to strengthen Gus's body and gifted him a Material Attack Sovereign Artifact.

Even among Asuras, Gus's strength was among the top. He was one of the strongest individuals in the Four Divine Beast Families, aside from the Sovereign Gods.

"Stuke pays his respects to the Clan Leader."

After entering, Stuke spoke respectfully.

Although they were all of the Four Divine Beast Family bloodline, their statuses were completely different. Furthermore, Gus was far superior to him in terms of seniority and age. He was a descendant many generations removed from Gus.

Therefore, he was extremely nervous in front of Gus. Or rather, all members of the White Tiger Clan were nervous in front of Gus.

Gus's expression did not change, and he directly asked, "What is it?"

As elders of the family, they were qualified to meet him directly. However, they were generally only allowed to meet him if there was a matter to discuss; otherwise, they were not permitted to come here casually.

Since Stuke had come here, he must have had something to report.

Stuke took a deep breath, calming his emotions slightly, and knelt on the ground, his voice heavy, "Clan Leader, my strongest Divine Clone and my Main Body have fallen!"

"Your strongest Divine Clone has fallen?"

Upon hearing Stuke's words, Gus couldn't help but frown, his tone growing colder, "Explain in detail."

The reputation of the Four Divine Beast Family spans the Divine Plane. Although members are often killed for various reasons, they are almost always insignificant ones.

No one has ever dared to directly kill a clan member at the Seven-star Devil level. After all, Seven-star Devils are the pillars of the Four Divine Beast Family. Was this a provocation to the Four Divine Beast Family?

Stuke quickly described the situation.

"Death match?"

Gus's brows furrowed even deeper.

He had lived from the Beginning of Heaven and Earth and experienced too much. A death match was a customary way of fighting where both parties aimed to kill the other.

Being killed in such a situation was not impossible.

Moreover, if one was killed in a death match, it was considered a pointless death.

"Patriarch, I've already investigated Wai. He doesn't have Sovereign Power! If he obtained Sovereign Power, it must have been bestowed by the Xue Na Family. This was clearly a pre-meditated plan by the Xue Na Family, aimed at killing my strongest Divine Clone!"

Stuke clearly understood Gus's thoughts and spoke anxiously, "If it were a normal death match, I would have no complaints about being killed; it would be due to my inferior skills. But Wai, even at the cost of his own life, dragged me into Space Turbulence. This wasn't a fight; it was clearly an order to kill my strongest Divine Clone at all costs! Komo and Koder were also present and witnessed it firsthand."

He obviously knew the specifics of a death match, but it was common for family members to engage in death matches. However, no one had ever been dragged into Space Turbulence by someone wielding Sovereign Power like he had.

As he spoke, Stuke's eyes even showed humiliation. "Patriarch, the fall of my strongest Divine Clone is not important, but Wai and the Xue Na Family acting this way is a provocation to my Four Divine Beast Family! I implore you to see the truth!"

"Hmph!"

After hearing Stuke's words, Gus's gaze turned colder. He let out a cold snort at Stuke, causing the latter to tremble all over.

"Stuke, don't think I don't know your little thoughts."

Gus didn't give Stuke another chance to speak, his voice somewhat cold. "Your strongest Divine Clone was killed, and you are unwilling to accept it, wanting the family to avenge you!"

"Patriarch. I..."

Stuke couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Although Gus reprimanded Stuke, he then changed his tone. "However, Wai dragging you into Space Turbulence at the cost of his own life means the Xue Na Family also has a problem. I will investigate this matter thoroughly. If it is as you say, and Wai's Sovereign Power was deliberately bestowed by the Xue Na Family to kill you, the family will naturally step in."
