Uprising in the Star Fog Sea, the Metamorphosis of Ninisha

A hundred years later, a massive metallic lifeform over a thousand meters long sped across the sky above the Star Fog Sea.

In the region of the Fog Sea, there exist violent fog disturbances, so most metallic lifeforms are small in size, travel at slow speeds, and always move with extreme caution. However, this vessel seemed to disregard the Fog Sea entirely, cutting straight through it.

This was a specially crafted metallic lifeform composed of four colors. Its body was a faint gold, with intricate patterns engraved on both sides in water-blue, crimson, pale cyan, and earthy yellow. Through the techniques of a master magic array specialist, these patterns were seamlessly integrated to form the images of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise.

Inside the metallic lifeform, dozens of figures gathered in a grand hall. Five figures radiating majesty stood at the front, while over twenty figures in red robes stood below.

By comparison, the five people in the center were the most eye-catching, appearing somewhat out of place compared to the others.

The first on the left was a middle-aged man with brown hair and a cold expression, his short, needle-like hair standing on end, his body covered in an earthy yellow halo.

Kenuofei'er Hall, a Fiend-level expert who cultivated the Laws of the Earth, an honorary elder of the Azure Dragon clan, and one of the envoys of the Azure Dragon Sovereign.

The second on the left was a white-haired man, his white robes exuding a sense of cold detachment.

Patridge, a Fiend-level expert who cultivated the Rules of Fate, an honorary elder of the White Tiger clan, one of the envoys of the White Tiger Sovereign, and the expert most skilled in soul attacks within the Four Divine Beasts Clan.

The two on the right were a red-haired, burly man clad in ancient crimson armor and a gloomy, black-haired youth in black robes.

The red-haired burly man was named Hansen, an honorary elder of the Black Tortoise clan, one of the envoys of the Black Tortoise Sovereign, and a Fiend-level expert who cultivated the profound mysteries of the Fire Laws.

The black-haired youth was named Felix, an honorary elder of the Black Tortoise clan, another envoy of the Black Tortoise Sovereign, and a Fiend-level expert who cultivated the profound mysteries of the Darkness Laws.

In the center was a woman, a silver-haired lady with a faint crescent moon on her forehead, her entire being radiating the life aura of the Elf race.

Caroline, an honorary elder of the Vermilion Bird clan, an envoy of the Vermilion Bird Sovereign, and a Fiend-level expert who cultivated the Rules of Life.

These five—four men and one woman—stood in the center. Unlike the furious elders of the Four Divine Beasts Clan behind them, they appeared incredibly calm.

Although the Four Divine Beasts Clan had influence spanning all major planes, most of their Fiend-level experts resided in the Tianji Mountain Range. Once someone "offended" the Four Divine Beasts Clan, they could immediately concentrate their power to surround and annihilate them.

"Big Brother, according to news from our clansmen, that Ninisha is currently in the Star Fog Sea. I imagine we will find her soon."

Among the figures at the very front, Gaia, with her flowing black hair, spoke in a low voice.

"Oh? It seems this Ninisha does not hold us in high regard, to still be in Hell!"

Gaislesen gently stroked the ring on his finger, his voice icy cold.

"Hmph! Since she is still in Hell, she should be prepared to die in Hell!"

The White Tiger patriarch Gus let out a cold snort, clearly dissatisfied with Ninisha's actions. In his view, if Ninisha were sensible, she should have come to accept her death herself; remaining in Hell and moving about leisurely was a slight against the Four Divine Beasts Clan.

As Gaislesen and the others finished speaking, the elders behind them began to whisper among themselves, their tones filled with dissatisfaction and murderous intent toward Ninisha, as if she had committed some heinous crime.

The few in the center seemed not to hear these discussions, standing quietly, exchanging glances before falling into silence.

Although they were nominally elders, in reality, the Four Divine Beasts Clan never truly considered them their own. Some of the Seven-Star Fiend elders even treated them as if they were servants.

Sovereign envoys are not all the same. Some Sovereigns have good temperaments; after bestowing a Sovereign artifact, they also grant a portion of Sovereign power and do not frequently issue orders to their envoys.

However, the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns were clearly not among them. The first task for their envoys after receiving a Sovereign artifact was to serve as honorary elders in the Four Divine Beasts Clan.

The clan had plenty of Sovereign power, and the Seven-Star Fiend elders were not lacking in it, but the eight Fiend-level honorary elders could only receive it from the patriarchs after completing their missions.

Although this was the arrangement of the Sovereigns and they dared not speak against it openly, they inevitably felt some dissatisfaction in their hearts. As for the so-called glory of the Four Divine Beasts Clan, they never truly cared for it.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

"Rumble~~"

In the center of the Star Fog Sea, golden mist billowed. Within a radius of a thousand miles, the fog sea emitted terrifying energy, with golden halos constantly expanding.

Metallic lifeforms passing by were all destroyed by the fog sea, as if the Star Fog Sea were experiencing an unprecedented, terrifying riot.

Vaguely, one could see a blurry purple figure moving within the fog.

"Not enough, again!"

Ninisha's long purple hair fluttered, her eyes flashing with golden light. A sea of lightning swirled around her, and a terrifying lightning domain expanded frantically.

"To be able to cultivate in such a way, Ninisha's talent is truly enviable."

Outside the lightning domain, a green-haired woman stood silently in the air, watching from afar and whispering softly, a layer of ice armor made of crystals covering her body.

After leaving the Zijing Continent, Dili and her companion did not leave Hell but came directly to the Star Fog Sea.

Ninisha knew very well that running away was only a temporary solution and not a long-term plan. Therefore, after careful thought, she decided to take a gamble: to use the power of the lightning sea in the Star Fog Sea to continue her cultivation and attempt to break through to become a Paragon.

As long as she broke through to become a Paragon, all problems would naturally be solved. Besides, Ninisha did not want to be hunted down like a stray dog; that would be a betrayal of the Sovereign's trust.

"Star Lightning—Break!"

The long spear in Ninisha's hand exuded a violent aura. The golden fog sea swirled around her body like electric currents, forming massive whirlpools that gradually condensed into a million-meter-wide abyss-like maw.

"This is it!"

After a long while, a look of wild joy appeared on Ninisha's face. Just now, she had finally found the final direction for fusion, grasping the overall direction for fusing the profound mysteries of the Lightning Laws.

Ninisha was confident that if given another twenty years, she could truly step into the legendary realm of a Paragon Highgod. By then, the Four Divine Beasts Clan would be nothing to fear.

"Four Divine Beasts Clan, just you wait!"

Purple lightning flashed in Ninisha's eyes. She slowly put away her long spear, and her divine power gradually dissipated.

As Ninisha ceased her movements, the golden fog sea around her slowly receded, and the surroundings returned to calm, as if nothing had ever happened.
