Although the Supreme God never explicitly stated that mismanagement would be punished, no Sovereign God was willing to deliberately provoke the Supreme God. Being executed without warning was not something the Supreme God had never done before.

After all, the second Water Element Overlord, Mith, died at the hands of the Supreme God in precisely that manner.

If the Supreme God had issued a warning beforehand, Mith would never have dared to destroy the Material Plane, no matter what.

Therefore, while the Sovereign Gods didn't care about the lives of those at the God level, they secretly maintained the "normalcy" of their respective regions. This was also why the Sovereign Gods created cities and Sovereign's Armies, and even prohibited fighting within cities. The purpose was to maintain basic stability.

Blood Peak Continent, Red Maple Prefecture.

Red Maple City.

Fluctuations in the Heaven and Earth Rule descended.

The strong individuals in the city all detected these fluctuations. This indicated that someone had become a god or had independently broken through their realm.

Such occurrences were not uncommon within the city.

Although many people noticed, it did not cause any significant disturbance.

In a secluded courtyard, Beirut descended from mid-air, a smile on his face. "Finally, I've reached the realm of a Mid-level God."

Having witnessed the battle between Wai and Stuke on Gray Blood Mountain, where even the residual shockwaves could have killed him, he had followed Calorona's advice and continued to cultivate peacefully within the city.

Reaching the Mid-level God realm, his strength had increased significantly, far beyond that of an ordinary Mid-level God.

Relying solely on his Talent Divine Power, no one among the Mid-level Gods could match him. Even if he ventured into the Divine Planes, he would have a certain degree of self-preservation ability against bandits.

While encountering High-level Gods would be troublesome for him, in Hell, High-level Gods were considered upper-class figures. It would be no difficult task for any High-level God to live within a city.

And among bandits, High-level Gods were rare. Was he so unlucky as to encounter a High-level God bandit while exploring?

"Congratulations on reaching the Mid-level God realm."

Calorona was by his side and smiled upon seeing Beirut's breakthrough.

Beirut merely smiled. He was actually quite proud of how quickly he had reached the Mid-level God realm. "I will likely need to go into seclusion for a while longer, perhaps three to five hundred years. After my seclusion, I plan to explore Red Maple Prefecture."

Although Beirut wished to witness the wonders of the Divine Planes, he would not rashly venture out.

Three to five hundred years would be enough for him to devour quite a few Mid-level God Divine Sparks. While creating Divine Spark Weapons by devouring Divine Sparks was slow for him, simply absorbing the essence of Divine Sparks to strengthen himself was not too slow at his current stage.

He was confident that he could increase his physical strength to a level close to that of a Mid-level God artifact.

Hearing that Beirut would remain here for another three to five hundred years, a flicker of joy flashed in Calorona's eyes. She quickly said, "Focus on your seclusion, and leave everything else to me."

As she spoke, Calorona directly produced a spatial ring and said, "Here, take this. It contains ten thousand Mid-level God Divine Sparks. Use them first."

Clearly, Calorona knew why Beirut was going into seclusion and had prepared the Divine Sparks in advance.

Whether it was a Lower-level God Spark, a Mid-level God Spark, or a High-level God Spark, their hardness was the same. However, for Beirut, higher-level Divine Sparks yielded more refined Divine Spark essence.

Seeing Calorona looking at him with a smile, Beirut's heart stirred, but he quickly suppressed the feeling and directly accepted the spatial ring. "Thank you."

Seeing Beirut accept the spatial ring, Calorona's smile deepened. "What's there to thank? Then cultivate well. I'll be leaving now."

After speaking, Calorona left directly.

Watching Calorona depart, Beirut let out a sigh of relief. He then looked at the spatial ring in his hand and exhaled, a smile appearing on his face. He returned indoors and went into seclusion.

Red Maple City, City Lord's Mansion.

Inside a sumptuously decorated room.

Calorona appeared here. Before her stood an old man with silver hair, holding a redwood cane topped with a special red crystal.

"Calorona, I'll ask you one more time. Are you truly set on Beirut?"

The old man suddenly spoke.

Clearly, the old man had long been aware of Beirut's existence.

Hearing the old man's words, Calorona did not conceal anything. Although a little nervous, she replied with certainty, "I dare not hide it from you, Teacher. This disciple likes Beirut."

Although her answer was direct, Calorona felt uneasy. This was because she knew her Teacher had always had high expectations for her. Previously, a Seven-star Devil had pestered her, and her Teacher had killed him.

This was also why she had always been reluctant for Beirut to leave Red Maple City.

She feared that her Teacher, in order to extinguish her thoughts, would secretly send someone to kill Beirut.

It would be no more difficult for her Teacher to kill Beirut than to crush an ant.

Hearing Calorona's direct words, the old man did not immediately object, which surprised Calorona.

"If you have truly decided, there will be no turning back."

The old man suddenly said.

Hearing the old man's words, Calorona seemed taken aback. She looked up in astonishment. "Teacher, you..."

The old man suddenly smiled and looked at Calorona. "Alright, don't inquire about this matter anymore. I will not interfere with anything between you and Beirut. However, if you do not end up together with Beirut, that will be your own affair."

Although she didn't know why the old man had changed his mind, Calorona had no intention of overthinking it at this moment. She was overjoyed. "Yes, thank you, Teacher!"

"Alright."

The old man smiled. "Beirut is already a Mid-level God. I expect he will be exploring Red Maple Prefecture before long. If you wish, you can accompany Beirut."

Hearing that the old man was actually willing to let her accompany Beirut on his explorations, Calorona was ecstatic. She quickly said, "Thank you, Teacher! You are too kind!"

"Alright, you can go now."

The old man shook his head helplessly, a hint of indulgence in his tone.

"Yes."

Calorona responded with a smile and then happily ran out, off to do who knows what.

After Calorona left, two figures emerged from within the room.

These figures were none other than Lota's emissaries, Morit and Kakqi.

"Apologies for the display, my disciple is a bit too lively," the old man said with a smile, looking at Morit and Kakqi.

"Heh, that kind of personality actually complements Beirut quite well," Morit replied.

He and Kakqi were Asura powerhouses renowned throughout the Divine Plane for countless years. While ordinary God-level beings might not recognize them, it wasn't difficult for other Asura powerhouses of similar strength to do so.

Especially Morit, unlike Kakqi, could be detected by other Asura powerhouses even when he concealed his soul aura.

And this old man was the Prefect of the Red Maple Prefecture, Quinsang, an extremely powerful Prefect.

Otherwise, Kakqi wouldn't have initially thought of attracting the attention of a Sovereign God by challenging Quinsang.

It didn't matter to them if Quinsang discovered them; the Overlord hadn't intended to hide it. They were merely instructed to secretly watch over and protect Beirut.

Hearing Morit's words, Quinsang could only nod.

He had discovered Morit by chance, and the rest followed smoothly. Even without Morit speaking, he had already figured out the purpose of Morit and Kakqi.

Morit was a Sovereign's Emissary. Without a Sovereign God's command, would he be so persistently and pointlessly focused on a Demigod?

He wasn't a fool.

Especially after learning that Kakqi was also a Sovereign's Emissary, his suspicions were confirmed.

However, he still couldn't understand what was so special about Beirut that he might be noticed by a Sovereign God.

It was precisely because of this that he changed his initial attitude and supported Calorona being with Beirut.

Even if he was mistaken, given the level of attention Morit and Kakqi were paying to Beirut, Beirut must have some connection to these two super powerhouses.

A quick note: This book incorporates some previous writings, with much of the content drawing from the reader [Beiner]. This esteemed individual has read the original work over 30 times. Aside from some secondary settings (currently, the settings for the three fallen Overlords have been significantly altered), most of the content is based on screenshots and descriptions the reader found in the original work. Special thanks to them.

Of course, many readers have been discussing, and much of the content is actually the most reasonable outcome after reader discussions. Thank you all. Without you, I couldn't have written this so smoothly.

Finally, regarding updates, this book isn't too long. It's one chapter before it goes on sale, but each chapter has four to five thousand characters. It's not long, but it's not at the bottom either. Once it's on sale, I estimate it will be completed within a month with explosive updates.

Lastly, thanks to Black Morning Star s for the recommendation to go on sale.

He sacrificed his shelf space for me to go on sale, shouldn't I reflect that back to him?

Book recommendation: "Myriad Heavens: Rising from the Saint Domain." It starts with Reverend Insanity, continuing the story after Linley's transcendence. It's very good. I heard there will be content from Swallowed Star and Desolate Era later on. Those who like it can check it out.

Inside the City Lord's Mansion in Red Maple City.

Quinsang prepared a banquet to entertain Morit and Kakqi. As for Beirut, not only was he currently in seclusion, but even if he were out exploring, as long as he remained within the Red Maple Prefecture, Quinsang could guarantee Beirut's safety.

Moreover, with Calorona accompanying him, and her current strength approaching that of a Seven-star Devil, it was enough to ensure Beirut's safety.

Within the Red Maple Prefecture, there wasn't anyone whose strength surpassed Calorona who didn't recognize her.

It was precisely for these reasons that Morit and Kakqi were happy to have some leisure. Although keeping an eye on Beirut in secret wasn't difficult, it was naturally best to have things easier.

Quinsang took a sip of the specially made fine wine, his face flushing slightly. Wine, for God-level powerhouses, didn't actually cause any significant effects. However, unless it was a special occasion, God-level powerhouses rarely actively blocked the effects of wine; they enjoyed that hazy feeling.

Looking at Kakqi, Quinsang spoke with a tone full of envy and emotion, "I truly never imagined you would be taken as an emissary by an Overlord."

Although he was also a Sovereign's Emissary, he was the emissary of Bifu Sovereign God. He knew very well the Sovereign God he served was merely an ordinary Lower Sovereign God among the Sovereign Gods.

Of course, even a Lower Sovereign God was unimaginably powerful to him.

Kakqi merely smiled and didn't explain the reason, directly saying, "I was just a bit luckier."

"Haha, alright, let's not talk about that," Morit said with a laugh. He looked at Quinsang and chatted casually, "I heard there's still fighting in the Burning Volcano Mountain Range? Aren't you, as Prefect, planning to go take a look?"

Ever since the Seven-star Devil elder Stuke of the Four Divine Beasts' White Tiger Family was dragged into space turbulence by Wai, many powerhouses had turned their attention to the Xue Na Family in the Burning Volcano Mountain Range.

Just a few years ago, powerhouses from the Four Divine Beast Families descended upon the Burning Volcano Mountain Range.

Among them were even emissaries of two Sovereign Gods, White Tiger Sovereign God and Azure Dragon Sovereign God, Mel and Spark.

The fact that these two were chosen as emissaries by the White Tiger and Azure Dragon was enough to show their immense strength. Or rather, any Sovereign's Emissary was a true peak figure in the Divine Plane.

Among them, the weakest could easily assume the position of Prefect.

"The Burning Volcano Mountain Range?" Quinsang raised an eyebrow, then chuckled, "What's there to see? It'll probably take a few more years to finish."

"Oh? A few years?" Kakqi sounded somewhat surprised.

With Mel and Spark's strength, wiping out the Xue Na Family would be effortless. Why would it take years?

Quinsang, though he hadn't been to the Burning Volcano Mountain Range, was well aware of the events in Red Maple Prefecture. He transmitted, "This isn't really a secret. Although Spark is an emissary of the Azure Dragon Sovereign, he has some connection with Reynalds. When he went to the Burning Volcano Mountain Range, he didn't attack Xena. He merely forbade the Xue Na Family members from leaving the Burning Volcano Mountain Range."

"Anyone who left the mountain range was killed by him."

"As for Mel, hehe, Reynalds was even faster than them. As soon as he got the news, he likely flew directly towards the Burning Volcano Mountain Range. Therefore, Reynalds arrived at the Burning Volcano Mountain Range a step ahead of the strong individuals from the Four Divine Beast Families. With Reynalds there, it wouldn't be easy for Mel to kill Xena in a short time."

"So, the elders from the Four Divine Beast Families are now almost all dealing with the scattered members of the Xue Na Family."

Soon, Quinsang explained the entire situation, with a hint of amusement in his tone, "Reynalds has quite the nerve."

He had some admiration for Reynalds. By acting this way, he was almost openly opposing the Four Divine Beast Families. Even if the Four Divine Beast Families wouldn't annihilate the Reynalds Family, Reynalds' future days would likely be difficult.

"So that's how it is."

Kakqi nodded.

He had killed quite a few members of the Four Divine Beast Families around the Ice Snow Mountain and Lost City, and he knew about the elders of the Four Divine Beast Families going to various places to hunt down the Xue Na Family.

However, he was unaware of the situation at the Burning Volcano Mountain Range. No wonder the elders of the Four Divine Beast Families had led their teams away to hunt down the branch family members of the Xue Na Family; it turned out there hadn't been much progress here in a short time.

"However, even with Reynalds, the Xue Na Family won't be able to hold on for much longer."

Quinsang said with some emotion, "Once Mel gets annoyed by Reynalds, he'll likely seek help from the Four Divine Beast Families. When other Asura powerhouses arrive, even Reynalds, if he doesn't flee, will probably be killed."

It wasn't that Reynalds didn't have friends at the Asura level, but no one wanted to fight the Four Divine Beast Families because of Reynalds.

You must understand that Spark owed Reynalds a favor, and even so, he only refrained from attacking Xena. He even controlled the comings and goings of the Xue Na Family members and intercepted other clan members.

Other powerhouses would be even less likely to help Reynalds.
