The Heaven and Earth Rule came quickly and departed just as quickly.
Under Morit and the other two's watchful eyes, the red-haired youth had already formed a fire-element Lower God divine clone.
Before he could experience his newfound strength, the red-haired youth's divine clone merged directly into his main body. Looking toward Xius and the others, a smile appeared on his somewhat handsome face. "Big Brother, Second Brother."
Although the red-haired youth was the youngest, his temperament was the most distinctive. When he looked at Morit, his gaze lacked the wariness shown by the Gentle Youth and the Bald youth.
Yet at this moment, the red-haired youth was incomparably solemn inside.
He could not see through this person's realm!
In other words, the suddenly appearing expert before him was at least a Middle God! Forget that he had only just become a Lower God—even if he became a Middle God, facing this person would still be exceedingly dangerous.
"Third Brother!"
Seeing that the red-haired youth had become a god, both the Gentle Youth and the Bald youth inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief. At some point, Third Brother seemed to have become the core of their group.
The red-haired youth merely gave his Big Brother and Second Brother a reassuring look. Then he calmly walked over to Morit, bowed slightly, and spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly. "Zacharias pays his respects to you, my lord."
The person before him was at least a Middle God, so it was only proper to address him as my lord.
When Xius and Burgess saw Zacharias's actions, their hearts both jolted. Third Brother had already become a god, yet he was still acting like this...
The two exchanged a look and saw disbelief in each other's eyes.
A Middle God?!
"Zacharias?"
Morit paid no attention to Xius and Burgess. He merely looked at the red-haired youth and nodded lightly, his expression unreadable.
"Zacharias Leilin."
The red-haired youth raised his head to look at Morit and added his full name with a smile.
The contract is signed, so I'm happy. Because of this book's planned length, I'll start updating more after it gets recommended. Let me save up some chapters first.
"You may also call me Leilin directly, my lord."
Zacharias said with a smile.
Even on the Qingya Plane, more people called him "Leilin" than used his full name.
His name was a little too long.
"Leilin..."
Morit nodded. That form of address was indeed much simpler and more efficient.
"May I ask why you sought out us Three Brothers, my lord? Do you have some task for us?"
Leilin looked at Morit, still somewhat wary inside. However, a Middle God was not someone he could deal with at present.
Morit's Golden Eyes looked at Leilin. He had no intention of introducing himself. In truth, Morit was rather curious about this little fellow whom the Dominator might be watching.
He wondered what was so special about this little fellow.
Beirut was a divine beast born of heaven and earth. Judging by Beirut's Talent Divine Power, calling him a Super Divine Beast would not be excessive. Furthermore, Beirut possessed a Darkness System affinity, so it made sense for the Dominator to pay attention to him.
But this Leilin possessed nothing more than the most ordinary Human Bloodline.
A thought suddenly flashed through Morit's mind. Was Leilin actually a descendant of the Dominator?
Otherwise, he truly could not think of any reason why the Dominator would pay attention to such an ordinary ant.
After all, he had followed Lota for countless years. He had even helped Lota fight across many Material Planes and learned many Secrets concerning the Overgods. Among the eleven Dominators of heaven and earth, all were incomparably mysterious and powerful beings.
Among them, it was said that the Dark Overlord was the only one among the eleven Dominators with a Human Bloodline!
A pure, singular Human Bloodline!
Although humans throughout heaven and earth still belonged to the human race, the vast majority of their bloodlines could no longer be considered pure Human Bloodlines.
Most living beings had multiple bloodline factors within them. Human Bloodline was merely what showed most prominently on the outside. Even some pure Human Bloodlines were not singular bloodlines. Humans from different regions also had somewhat different bloodlines.
It was like Rat-type Magic Beasts. Different rat bloodlines were different.
Humans were the same.
Thus, truly singular and pure Human Bloodlines were now as rare as Super Divine Beasts. Perhaps only humans born from heaven and earth could be considered true humans.
Morit did not know what was special about such a bloodline. However, the Dark Overlord's status was in no way inferior to that of the other Dominators. He had even heard from quite a few Overgod's Emissaries that the Dark Overlord was the most mysterious among several Dominators. That alone was enough to demonstrate the power of this bloodline.
Seeing that Morit remained silent, Leilin, Xius, and Burgess exchanged glances. They could not guess what he intended.
"My lord."
Seeing that Morit had remained silent, Leilin took the initiative to speak again. "What orders do you have for us Three Brothers, my lord? Please speak plainly. We Three Brothers will certainly give it our all."
Leilin had no desire to submit to another, or he would never have been imprisoned in the Plane Prison. Yet in the current situation, the lives of all three of them rested on this person's whim. He did not want his Big Brother and Second Brother to be placed in danger because of him.
Morit came back to his senses. After forming that speculation, his attitude toward the three brothers changed somewhat.
"You need not be nervous. I was merely passing by and saw the method you used to cultivate with heat. It suddenly gave me some insight."
Morit's expression did not change as he casually came up with a reason. His gaze fell on Leilin. "Therefore, you have provided me some assistance. What reward do you want? I can fulfill one condition for you."
A reward?
After hearing Morit's words, not only Xius and Burgess, but even Leilin, who had maintained a calm state of mind, failed to react for a moment.
They had considered every possibility, except this one.
Wasn't the Plane Prison a place where slaughter was everywhere? One could kill any opponent for the sake of cultivation, so how could there be someone who wanted to reward them merely because they had given him some insight?
Could it be that the Plane Prison was not actually such a chaotic place?
Morit could see the three men's disbelief, but he did not explain further. There was no need for him to explain too much. He could not reveal the Dominator's words. They were not qualified to know of the Dominator's existence.
If he had not considered Leilin's possible identity, his attitude would not even have been this favorable.
"Third Brother, this..."
Seeing that Morit did not seem to be joking, Burgess could not help looking at Leilin.
For a moment, Xius did not know what to say either.
Leilin quickly recovered. He was somewhat suspicious of Morit's words, yet he could detect no inconsistency. He could only say that, in his view, an expert of the Plane Prison acting this way did not seem particularly fitting.
"You overstate it, my lord. It is Zacharias's honor to be able to help you. I do not dare seek a reward from you."
Leilin's state of mind quickly calmed. He gave Morit a noble's salute, his tone neither humble nor arrogant.
Whether Morit's words were true or not, he only wanted to leave with his Big Brother and Second Brother as soon as possible. After reaching safety, he could cultivate in peace. Only one's own strength was fundamental.
As Morit looked at the three brothers, he suddenly laughed for some reason. There was a trace of admiration in his eyes. His Golden Eyes fixed on Leilin as he spoke with faint praise in his tone. "Hahaha, you are quite good."
The sudden laughter made the three brothers somewhat nervous.
Quite good? What was quite good?
The three had no idea. Was it because he had not asked for a reward? Was this person testing him?
Morit was extremely powerful. He was only one step away from entering the Paragon Realm. On top of the Sovereign Artifact gifted by Lota, he had also obtained another Sovereign Artifact from the Plane Battlefield.
With such terrifying strength, even Paragon High Gods could only exile him, not kill him. It could be said that he stood at the peak of all gods.
With the slightest release of Soul Power, he could create an immensely powerful pressure upon the soul.
When mortals tested magical talent, there was a light-element spell called Intimidation. The Light Law was what he excelled in most, so using a similar method was even simpler for him.
Just now, he had exerted a slight pressure upon Leilin. Forget Lower Gods—even Middle Gods might not necessarily remain sufficiently clear-headed beneath such pressure.
Yet Leilin before him seemed to have been barely affected.
This did not mean that Leilin's soul surpassed the strength of a Middle God. Rather, Leilin's Soul Power was extremely pure. What Morit had used was not a Soul Attack, but a testing method he had researched himself. It was a rudimentary application of certain Profound Mysteries of the Light Law.
Among the Seven Major Laws and Four Major Rules, only the Light Law and Life Law could test the souls of God level experts in this manner. Different laws and rules each had their own uses beyond battle.
It was like the method of Soul Extraction, which only the Death Rule could accomplish, and so on.
Of course, Morit could test him so silently only because there was a nearly insurmountable difference in realm and power between himself and Leilin.
Although the test results might not be entirely accurate, they could still partially demonstrate Leilin's natural talent.
Even Adkins's talent was far inferior to Leilin's.
This meant that as long as Leilin did not die young, he had a high chance of becoming a Seven-star Devil in the future. It might even be possible for him to reach the Asura Realm.
Over countless years, a Material Plane might not produce even a few Seven-star Devils.
As for Asuras, they were even rarer. Among countless Material Planes, one might not even produce a single Asura.
If an Asura was born in a Material Plane, that plane would be considered an exceptionally powerful Material Plane. The Qingya Plane was the Dominator's Hometown, and it had produced several Seven-star Devils over countless years, yet not a single Asura. Now that such a genius had appeared here, it was only natural for the Dominator to pay attention.
Perhaps after Leilin had a chance to reach the Asura Realm in the future, he might also have a chance to become an Overlord's Emissary.
The Dominator truly was powerful. He had actually noticed Zacharias long ago and could see Zacharias's potential at a glance. How terrifying.
For a moment, Morit became even more reverent toward Lota. Following such a Dominator was his honor.
Morit did not explain much. He slowly withdrew his smile and looked at Leilin, though a trace of amusement remained in his tone. "Since that is the case, I will not give you any items. You have only just become a god, so I imagine there are many things you still do not understand. I will explain them to you. Consider it your reward."
Upon hearing Morit's words, Leilin was first slightly stunned, then could not help becoming somewhat excited. He was going to explain things about the god level?!
Although he knew a little about the god level, his understanding was extremely limited. Not only him—anyone would likely find it exceedingly difficult to truly understand matters concerning the god level.
Even if one became the disciple of a God level expert, one might not have the opportunity to hear about such matters.
Yet now, this expert before him was actually going to explain things about the god level to him?!
For a moment, Leilin could not bring himself to refuse.
Xius and Burgess were also deeply shaken. They clearly understood what this meant to them. Calling it a heaven-sent opportunity would not be an exaggeration.
"Zacharias will never forget your kindness, my lord!"
Leilin let out a breath. He did not refuse, but his tone became much more solemn as he spoke.
Morit merely smiled and did not care much about Leilin's words. Instead, he said, "Now that you have become a god, you presumably already know of the existence of Profound Mysteries."
"There are six Profound Mysteries within the Fire Element Law. They are..."
"By completely comprehending all six Profound Mysteries, you can become a powerful High God. But remember this: such a High God is merely the weakest among High Gods. If you wish to become powerful, you must also fuse Profound Mysteries!"
"That is right. Profound Mysteries can be fused. Any two can be fused, even three, four, five, or ultimately all six can be fused into one! Only such High Gods are truly powerful. They are the legendary Paragon High Gods!"
"Most importantly, the earlier you begin fusing Profound Mysteries, the lower the difficulty! Furthermore, even as a Lower God, you can fuse Profound Mysteries!"
As he listened to Morit's explanation, Leilin was utterly engrossed. A new door slowly opened before him.
Gobada Plane Prison had no sun, moon, stars, or changes between Day and Night. It possessed only an endless, gloomy gray sky. The living environment was extremely harsh, and all kinds of resources were exceedingly scarce.
Any resource could lead to battle and slaughter between experts.
And those resources included...
Divine Sparks!
Moreover, they were the most important resource in the Plane Prison.
There were quite a few God level experts within Gobada Plane Prison. However, Saint Domain lifeforms were far more numerous. To those Saint Domain lifeforms, a Divine Spark was an invaluable treasure.
Although the Northwest Desert Region had a harsh environment, many lifeforms still lived there. Some God level experts had also built small cities or gathering places there.
Chenshi City was one such small city in the Northwest Desert Region. It was said that the one who built the city was a powerful Middle God, renowned throughout the Northwest Desert Region.
