However, the chances of such a storm appearing were not high.

The area of slanted giant boulders.

Xius and Burgess had been unable to calm down, and both were deeply conflicted. After all, they now had four Divine Sparks in their hands.

As long as they dripped blood on them to claim ownership, they could reach the divine level in the shortest possible time.

The divine level... even in the Qingya Plane, they might not have been confident of reaching it.

"Big Brother."

Burgess stared without blinking at the Divine Spark in Xius's hand, his throat growing hoarse despite himself.

Hearing Burgess, Xius abruptly came back to his senses. Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he looked at Leilin, who was still in a state of "enlightenment," and said, "Protect Third Brother first!"

"Mm."

Burgess glanced at the Divine Spark in Xius's hand and nodded.

Although Divine Sparks were immensely tempting, Third Brother was clearly more important to them. It was precisely because of this brotherly bond that the three brothers had made it this far step by step.

"Profound Mystery... Fusion."

"Fire Element, Scorching."

Morit's earlier move kept replaying in Leilin's mind, while his past comprehension of the Fire Element once again appeared clearly within his soul.

Countless fire elements danced, like innumerable crimson sprites.

So this is the essence of the Fire Element?

In an instant, it was as though a ray of light appeared in Leilin's mind, and many things that had confused him suddenly became clear.

The next moment, Leilin, still in enlightenment, abruptly opened his eyes.

As his consciousness returned, Leilin suddenly recalled what had happened earlier and hurriedly spread out his Spiritual Sense.

"Big Brother, Second Brother!"

Leilin did not discover anything unusual. Even Morit had disappeared.

"Third Brother!"

Seeing Leilin awaken, Xius and Burgess both felt much more at ease and hurried forward.

"Third Brother, are you all right?"

Burgess was the first to ask.

Leilin shook his head. Instead of answering directly, he asked, "Where is that lord?"

By now, Leilin had completely confirmed that the old man was absolutely a powerful existence who had fused Profound Mysteries. In fact, his estimate of the old man's strength had been somewhat conservative.

"That lord has already left."

Xius spoke as he took out the four Divine Sparks Morit had left behind. His tone was especially grave as he quickly described what had happened while Leilin was in "enlightenment." "That lord left behind four Divine Sparks."

After hearing Xius's words, Leilin fell silent for a moment.

With a casual strike, he had directly killed the attackers from a great distance? Big Brother and Second Brother had not even seen them within their line of sight!

Taking the Divine Sparks from Xius, Leilin's expression quickly changed. Xius and Burgess were only at the Saint Domain and naturally could not distinguish the grades of Divine Sparks. But Leilin was now a Lower God, so he could easily tell the differences between them.

Among these four Divine Sparks, one was actually a Middle God Divine Spark!

In other words, the old man had casually killed one Middle God and three Lower Gods!

A High God!

That old man was definitely a High God expert!

Even in a Divine Plane, High Gods were rare. He had not expected to encounter one after coming to the Plane Prison.

At the same time, a trace of lingering fear arose in Leilin's heart. Fortunately, that High God bore them no ill will. Otherwise, no matter how many methods he had, he would have had no chance of victory before a High God.

He did not know why the High God had treated them so "kindly." He did not believe Morit's own explanation at all. That sort of reason could only fool Ordinary people.

I hope I'll have another chance to meet that old man.

"Third Brother, what's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Seeing Leilin's solemn expression, Xius carefully asked.

Leilin shook his head, then used God's Domain to envelop the surroundings. Looking at the Divine Sparks in his hand, he said gravely, "Among these four Divine Sparks, one is a Middle God Divine Spark!"

Hearing this, Xius and Burgess's eyes instantly widened. "A Middle God Divine Spark?!"

Even in the Qingya Plane, Middle Gods were extremely powerful existences. But...

When they thought back to Morit's demeanor just now, the shock in their hearts was even greater than Leilin's. After all, they had personally seen Morit's attitude toward those four Divine Sparks. He simply did not care about them, perhaps he even looked down on them!

That was a Middle God Divine Spark!

They could not imagine what kind of expert would disdain a Middle God Divine Spark.

"Third Brother, this..."

Burgess looked at the Divine Sparks in Leilin's hand, his eyes burning with desire.

There were Lower God Divine Sparks and a Middle God Divine Spark. That meant a path to becoming a Middle God lay before them. Of course, that was assuming the Divine Sparks matched their elements.

"Big Brother, Second Brother."

Leilin naturally understood how tempting the Divine Sparks were to them. "Since that lord said he did not recommend Refining Divine Sparks, there must be many problems with doing so."

Back in the Qingya Plane, there had been no shortage of gods who had Refined Divine Sparks. Or rather, this was the first choice of most Saint Domain experts. If not for Morit, he might not have stopped Xius and Burgess.

But now, he could not possibly ignore the "advice" of a High God expert.

"That's right."

Xius also nodded gravely. Looking at Burgess, he said, "Second Brother, now that Third Brother has become a god, as long as we are careful, we have some ability to survive in this Plane Prison. During this time, we should try to break through and become gods on our own. If we truly cannot succeed in the end, then we can consider whether to Refine Divine Sparks."

"Second Brother, the family's records on the divine level are too limited. Becoming a god independently may differ greatly from Refining Divine Sparks, especially regarding the soul. I felt that my soul underwent some kind of transformation when I became a god."

Leilin also spoke, describing how he had felt when he became a god. "I suspect that Refining Divine Sparks and becoming a god independently are fundamentally different."

He actually knew very well what talents his Big Brother and Second Brother possessed. It was not as though they had no chance of becoming gods independently. Even though the Heaven and Earth elements in the Plane Prison were sparse, they could still become gods if they spent enough time.

He was not actually certain what difference there would be between becoming a god independently and becoming one by Refining Divine Sparks. Yet now, he had a feeling in his heart. They could not Refine Divine Sparks!

Perhaps, over the countless years of the Qingya Plane, someone had concealed something concerning becoming a god.

Burgess deeply exhaled, nodded, and suppressed the excitement in his heart. "Mm, I understand. I also want to try and see whether I can become a god on my own."

Seeing Burgess abandon the idea of Refining Divine Sparks, Leilin immediately changed the subject. "Big Brother, Second Brother, we can't stay here any longer. Come with me."

After saying that, Leilin used divine power to envelop the two of them and quickly left the area.

His becoming a god earlier had attracted a Middle God. With Morit present, they had not been in danger. But now, they might attract other experts, and Leilin naturally did not want to fight other divine experts yet.

Even if he fought, he had to protect Big Brother and Second Brother first.

Before leaving, Leilin took one deep look at the place, his gaze somewhat complicated.

Gobada Plane Prison had several weak regions connected to the Qingya Plane. Aside from those regions, there were also several entrances and exits sealed by Magic Arrays.

Like Teleportation Arrays, these Magic Arrays had been created by Supreme Gods. Of course, the grade of these Magic Arrays was far inferior to that of Teleportation Arrays.

Even so, without the guidance of a Plane Guardian or an order from an Overgod, even High Gods could not pass through these Magic Arrays.

Beneath the Northwest Desert of Gobada Plane Prison stood a special Stone Platform. This was one of the passage points between the Qingya Plane and the Plane Prison.

Morit's figure appeared there and landed upon the Stone Platform. He took out a token, and the tranquil Stone Platform emitted a faint, unusual glow. Then Morit's figure vanished.

During the period after Morit left, several new experts rose to prominence within the Plane Prison, such as the earlier Adkins and others.

Of course, there were even more divine-level beings and Saint Domain experts struggling to survive elsewhere, like Leilin, who had begun cultivating in seclusion within the desert region.

The environment of the Plane Prison remained exactly as it had been countless years ago, unchanged.

The only thing that changed was the life within it.

Morit left the Plane Prison without even the current Plane Guardian detecting the slightest trace.

Afterward, Morit returned directly to the Mudu Continent to report to Lota.

Aside from that, there was also some information about Beirut that needed to be reported to the Dominator at the proper time. After all, Beirut was also someone the Dominator had ordered him to "protect."

That guy was in no danger. On the contrary, his luck was truly good. He had actually met a High God in Hell, and most importantly, that High God had developed favorable feelings toward Beirut.

With a High God like that around, Beirut was even less likely to encounter danger.

Mudu Continent.

Within a small valley.

Morit came before Lota and respectfully bowed. "Dominator, Zacharias has already developed a certain degree of understanding of Profound Mystery Fusion. Moreover, he has most likely found the matching point for fusing the Fire Element and the Scorching Profound Mystery."

As he spoke of this, Morit could not help but feel some admiration. Zacharias truly possessed extraordinary talent. Even in a Divine Plane, his talent would likely rank among the best.

Lota was not surprised by this.

The fact that Qinghuo could eventually reach the Paragon realm was enough to demonstrate his talent. A genius like this only needed a little guidance to turn it into something of his own.

If he did not even possess this much talent, Qinghuo could not possibly have become a Paragon.

It could be said that if not for Linley, once Qinghuo was released from the Plane Prison, he would have been the most dazzling existence in the Divine Planes over these hundreds of millions of years. He was the "protagonist" born of Heaven and Earth during this period.

Every Paragon would be the "protagonist" of an era.

"Dominator, this subordinate has one more matter to report."

Morit spoke cautiously.

"Speak."

Lota's tone did not waver.

Morit slightly bent forward and continued, "It concerns Beirut. In Hell, he met a High God named Calorona. According to this subordinate's observations, Calorona is also some kind of Rodent Divine Beast and may have some favorable feelings toward Beirut."

"Calorona? A Rodent Divine Beast?"

Lota slightly raised his brow, finding the matter more interesting.

In the Earth Memory within his mind, there were very few descriptions of Calorona. He only knew that Calorona was Beirut's wife and possessed the strength of an Asura. After Beirut became an Overgod, she traveled from the Yulan Continent to Hell.

There was no further information. It was not even clear whether Calorona was human or some kind of Divine Beast.

When Beirut was born, Lota had taken notice of him. However, he had searched throughout the Qingya Plane and had not found another rat with sufficient cultivation talent.

Now, it seemed that Calorona might not have been a lifeform born in the Qingya Plane. As for why she left the Yulan Continent at that time and went to Hell after Beirut became an Overgod, perhaps Beirut had "lured" Calorona back not long afterward.

Seeing Lota raise his brow, Morit secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he could draw the Dominator's attention, that was enough.

Regarding Beirut, Morit had already regarded him as his future Emissary Partner.

In the future, as fellow emissaries of the Dominator, they would inevitably fight for the Dominator and would likely have to cooperate. For example, in the Plane Wars of the Dark God Plane, emissaries of Dark Lord Gods like them would almost certainly have to participate.

Overgod emissaries held high status, but likewise, many responsibilities could not be avoided. Of course, aside from situations like these, Overgod emissaries were free most of the time.

This Calorona had appeared before Beirut out of nowhere. If she truly held favorable feelings toward Beirut, that would be fine. But if she had ulterior motives, Morit might have to intervene. No matter how talented Beirut was, he could not possibly be a match for a High God right now.

"Calorona..."

Lota suddenly asked, "Where is Beirut now?"

Lota only had talent in the Dark Law, so aside from his Main Body, he only possessed a Dark Overlord clone. Ever since the rules between Overgods had been established, both his Main Body and Dark Overlord clone had remained in the Qingya Plane.

For an Overgod, it did not matter much where he was. He could form a Projection Clone in any other plane at any time.

Whether it was a Projection Clone or a Giant Face Projection, both were abilities that came with a Sovereign Spark.

Although Paragon High Gods were the endpoint of cultivation, and even Overgods could not break through that level in terms of cultivation realm, many of an Overgod's abilities remained beyond the comprehension of divine-level experts. This was not merely because Sovereign Sparks possessed Willpower Might, but because Sovereign Sparks also contained many other abilities.

It was precisely these abilities of Sovereign Sparks that placed Overgods and gods on two entirely different levels. Even if their comprehension of Profound Mysteries was nearly the same, their very levels of life had undergone a fundamental transformation.

If it were merely a matter of increasing Willpower Might and becoming stronger, then Overgods would only be somewhat stronger gods. How could they use so many methods that divine-level experts could not?

For example, killing a divine-level expert with a single thought was no longer merely a matter of powerful Willpower Might. This was an ability granted to Overgods by Sovereign Sparks, or rather, by the Heaven and Earth Rule.

And a Sovereign Spark could be said to be the manifested authority of a certain Heaven and Earth Rule.
