Under the authority of such Heaven and Earth Rule, even Paragon High Gods were nothing more than "ants" before Overgods. Overgods respected Paragons only because they admired their ability to cultivate to the Paragon level. This was not capital that allowed Paragons to defy Overgods.
"Reply to Overlord, Beirut is currently cultivating in Red Maple City, Red Maple Prefecture, on Hell's Blood Peak Continent."
Morit said directly, "It was in Red Maple City that he met Calorona. Calorona even bought a house in the city specifically for Beirut."
He had been secretly observing Beirut all along. After arriving in Hell, this guy's luck really was enviable. Beirut was merely a Lower God, and it was difficult for him to find a stable environment for cultivation, yet Calorona had suddenly appeared.
For a High God, providing a stable environment for cultivation was hardly difficult.
More importantly, Beirut's Talent Ability allowed him to devour Divine Sparks. Yet even in Hell, Divine Sparks were quite valuable. It would be difficult for Beirut to obtain enough Divine Sparks to devour.
And it was Calorona again. She had actually provided Beirut with a large number of Divine Sparks specifically for him to devour.
In other words, ever since arriving in Hell, Beirut had never encountered any difficulties caused by other gods. All of this was because of Calorona.
However, Calorona appeared to be quite strong. Otherwise, she could not possibly provide Beirut with Divine Sparks almost without end. Or perhaps Calorona was the direct lineage of some Hellish clan.
An ordinary High God could not withstand Beirut's rate of consumption.
"Red Maple City."
Lota nodded.
He was the Dark Overlord. Ever since creating the Dark God Plane, he had rarely visited other Divine Planes. Aside from the Qingya Plane, the Dark God Plane was the only place where he truly spent his time.
He knew of several powerful figures in Hell as well. However, they were all peak experts who had been famous for many years. Even the weakest among them were Seven-star Devils.
In the "Earth Memory" within Lota's mind, Calorona was a powerful Asura, yet he had not heard this name among the Asura experts at present.
After all, whenever an Asura expert emerged, the news would almost spread throughout every Divine Plane.
"Come with me and take a look around Red Maple City."
Lota suddenly said.
Since Calorona was helping Beirut so much, given Beirut's personality, he likely would not leave Red Maple City until he reached the High God level.
"Yes."
Upon hearing Lota's words, Morit hurriedly responded.
His Fire Element Divine Clone had been secretly following Beirut all along, so it was naturally in Red Maple City as well.
The Destruction Supreme Plane was called Hell by countless experts.
Hell was one of the Four Supreme Planes created by the Supreme Gods. It contained countless lives and was filled with slaughter and battle, a world where the strong died and the stronger lived.
Hell had five continents arranged in a ring, with the whole formation leaning toward the northwest. The Starry Mist Sea was enclosed at the center of the five continents, while beyond them lay Hell's largest region, the Sea of Chaos!
Blood Peak Continent lay in the southeastern part of the five continents. Its area was relatively small among the five. Of course, even though it was small, it remained incomparably vast. Countless gods spent their entire lives without ever having the chance to leave this continent.
Red Maple Prefecture, Red Maple City.
This city had stood here for tens of billions of years. In Hell, a hundred billion years was not considered especially ancient.
But for many lives who came from Material Planes, a hundred billion years was almost an endless span of time.
Outside Red Maple City grew countless enormous trees that required dozens of people to encircle. The city walls bore a dark red hue, and atop them stood a huge Maple Leaf emblem. It had been built at the Prefecture Lord's request.
It was said that the Red Maple Prefecture Lord was some sort of plant-type divine beast, and this leaf was his personal symbol. Of course, few knew whether that was true.
Countless experts entered and left Red Maple City. There were humans, divine beasts of all kinds, and even lively plants. This was the most prosperous place in all of Red Maple Prefecture. It even attracted experts and merchant caravans from other continents.
However, no matter who they were, anyone wishing to enter Red Maple City could only do so on foot.
Within Red Maple City.
Lota's figure appeared without a sound.
This was his Projection Clone, merely a body condensed from dark divine power.
If Sovereign's Might was used to condense a body from afar, the final result would be a Projection Giant Face, possessing a portion of an Overgod's might. This Projection Clone, however, possessed no such might and only retained his own strength.
Of course, the difference between them was not limited to strength. Because the Projection Giant Face contained Overgod might, like an Overgod clone, it could not be formed in a Material Plane.
The Projection Clone was different. It was formed solely of divine power and could be created anywhere, naturally including Material Planes. Many Overgods who possessed only one body relied on Projection Clones to travel through other planes.
But whether Projection Clones or Projection Giant Faces, they were merely methods used by Overgods to control countless planes.
After appearing, Lota casually entered a tavern.
Shortly after several specialty dishes were served, Morit's Fire Element Divine Clone, having received the news, swiftly arrived at the tavern and appeared before Lota.
"My lord."
Morit bowed slightly.
This was not the first time he had traveled with Lota while concealing their identities, so he was familiar with everything. At times like this, he was to address Lota as "my lord."
Lota nodded casually. "Sit."
"Thank you, my lord."
Morit carefully sat opposite Lota, though only half his backside touched the seat.
Lota casually tasted several bites of the specialty dishes and nodded. Although Divine Planes were worlds of slaughter and battle, the development of worldly pleasures had not lagged behind in the slightest. On the contrary, everything related to food, clothing, shelter, and travel was exceptionally prosperous.
"I haven't been to Hell in a long time. I didn't expect these dishes to have improved so much."
Though this was merely Lota's Projection Clone, it still possessed all kinds of senses.
"I heard that Blue Leaf Restaurant hired a member of the Fire Source Clan at a high price, which improved the quality of their dishes," Morit carefully explained. "Even Calorona often buys food here to take away."
The Fire Source Clan was a special race with powerful fire-element talent, unlike ordinary fire-element life forms. It seemed that the bloodline of the Fire Source Clan carried the genes of "chefs."
One-third of the entire race were chefs. This was nearly impossible in other races.
Relying on this Talent Ability, the Fire Source Clan held a particularly unique status in the Divine Planes. Even their more skilled members were honored guests of certain great powers.
Lota nodded. The Fire Source Clan was indeed a remarkable race.
However, within the entire magical world, such a race was not particularly unusual. There were countless races and countless lives, and their prosperity was far beyond what the "Earth Memory" in his mind could describe.
Only after truly arriving in this world could one understand that cultivation was the mainstream, but not the only path.
"Calorona takes food away from here?"
Lota was somewhat surprised.
Morit nodded, then lowered his voice. "This subordinate secretly observed her. Calorona did not actually care much about food in the past. She began taking food from here for Beirut. Beirut probably wanted to eat it, so Calorona came to purchase it personally."
Upon hearing this, Lota's expression turned amused, and he finally could not help but smile. "Interesting, interesting. This Beirut really is surprising."
Because he possessed the "Earth Memory," Lota had a certain impression of Beirut in his later years. But now, it seemed Beirut's personality was not entirely as it appeared in his "Earth Memory."
It was one thing for him to attract a High God companion who bought him a house and provided Divine Sparks and all manner of cultivation resources. Now, she even personally brought back food for him.
Based on certain scenes from the "Earth Memory," did Beirut count as living off a woman?
Hahaha, interesting.
"This Beirut truly is quite surprising..."
Lota had not encountered something this interesting in a long time.
Of course, Lota had already lived for more than a thousand Eons. He had encountered countless events during that time, and he had naturally seen many situations similar to Beirut's current experience.
However, the Beirut in his memories was a "mature and steady, cautious yet bold" fellow. It was naturally somewhat striking for such a person to have this sort of experience.
Morit did not feel much about Beirut's experience, as he did not know of Beirut's future accomplishments.
Still, the fact that Beirut's affairs could stir such emotional fluctuations in the Dominator was enough to show how much attention the Dominator paid to Beirut.
"My lord, Calorona has arrived."
Morit suddenly said in a low voice.
To prevent their conversation from leaking out, Morit used God's Domain to envelop the area where the two of them sat.
What had appeared was only Lota's Projection Clone. Though it was not weak, it could not use God's Domain because it lacked a Divine Spark.
God's Domain was the primary mark distinguishing gods from lives below the god level. When a god level expert unleashed God's Domain, even the most powerful Saint Domain expert would have no ability to resist.
God's Domain was not a region created through divine power, but a type of authority bestowed upon Divine Sparks by the Heaven and Earth Rule. It did not fall within the scope of profound mysteries or divine power.
God's Domain had many uses, but it was not the most important thing in battle.
Because once one entered the god level, the influence of God's Domain could no longer be impossible to eliminate in battles between god level experts. Even a Lower God could bring out a certain degree of personal strength against a Middle God or High God.
At the god level, a higher-ranked god's God's Domain would not completely imprison a lower-ranked god level expert. The greater distinction lay in the range of their God's Domains.
The true strength of a god level expert still depended on their comprehension of profound mysteries and the disparity in divine power.
Thus, even without a Divine Spark, Lota's Projection Clone remained extremely powerful. However, only Morit could use God's Domain. This was the tacit understanding the two had developed over countless years.
"Calorona..."
Lota looked around.
"My lord, that black-haired woman is Calorona," Morit said directly.
A woman with her long hair hanging loose entered through the tavern entrance. Her eyes held a faint golden light, her figure was slender, and she wore a fitted dark green dress.
The moment she entered the tavern, she drew the attention of quite a few people. There was even a trace of fear in many eyes. Clearly, many experts in Red Maple City knew this dark green dress woman.
"My lord, Calorona seems to have some connection with the Red Maple Prefecture Lord. She has entered and left the City Lord's Mansion before," Morit said.
The Red Maple Prefecture Lord had already been a super strong person renowned throughout the Divine Planes hundreds of billions of years ago, and he was also an Overgod's emissary. His strength was extremely formidable.
Even Morit, though confident that he could defeat the Red Maple Prefecture Lord, was not confident that he could kill him.
For Calorona to have dealings with such an expert, she could not possibly be ordinary.
He did not wish to expose himself, so once Calorona entered the City Lord's Mansion, he could no longer infiltrate it.
"The Red Maple Prefecture Lord is Quinsang, right..."
Lota casually remarked.
Although Red Maple Prefecture was merely a region on Hell's Blood Peak Continent, nearly every Overgod knew the experts there who were renowned across the planes. After all, ever since the War of Faith ended, Overgods had been extremely bored. Few Overgods even cared about the territories under their own jurisdiction.
During the period when Quinsang rose to prominence, he could be considered the "protagonist" of an era. It was only natural that Lota knew of him.
"Yes, my lord."
Morit replied.
"The usual dishes. The ingredients must be as fresh as possible."
Calorona walked to the counter and spoke directly.
"Please wait a moment, my lady. They have already been prepared. I'll fetch them immediately."
The shop attendant was a Middle God. Upon seeing Calorona, he hurriedly responded respectfully.
They had long recognized Calorona. After all, she was a High God who frequently spent large sums in the tavern, and she was a woman as well, so they naturally remembered her.
"Mm."
Calorona nodded casually, then took out five Zhan Stones and handed them directly to the Middle God.
One Zhan Stone was worth ten thousand Ink Stones, so five Zhan Stones amounted to fifty thousand Ink Stones. Spending fifty thousand Ink Stones on a single meal was something only powerful High Gods could afford.
Seeing Calorona casually take out five Zhan Stones, many people dining in the tavern turned to look.
God level experts no longer needed to eat, and god level experts with low strength or no backing would not spend many Ink Stones on food. To them, that was simply wasteful.
Any god level expert who came to dine at a tavern possessed a certain degree of strength or background.
Yet even so, spending fifty thousand Ink Stones on a single meal shocked these guys. This woman was likely a member of some great clan in Red Maple City.
