Beirut's Guess

The Crimson Feather Golden Phoenix soared into the air, and just as she intended to survey her surroundings, she discovered a dark silhouette appearing before her in the blink of an eye.

Instantly, her entire body tensed with vigilance.

She could not sense a shred of aura from the person before her, but the mere fact that he was flying proved that this individual was at least at the Saint-level.

Furthermore, she herself was exceptionally gifted in speed; among the Saint-level, there were basically none who could surpass her. Yet, the speed of this person was so terrifying that even she felt dread—this had to be an existence beyond the Saint-level.

Beyond the Saint-level!

Thinking of this possibility, she felt a mix of excitement and a sliver of fear.

"Greetings, my lord."

The Crimson Feather Golden Phoenix quickly calmed her emotions and spoke cautiously.

Beirut narrowed his small eyes.

"You come from the Blue Star Plane?"

Beirut asked directly.

Beirut was not surprised by her restraint. If it weren't for her unique origin, he wouldn't have spared a second glance at a mere Saint-level Magic Beast.

Hearing Beirut's words, the Crimson Feather Golden Phoenix felt a sense of confusion in her heart. The Blue Star Plane? What did this lord mean by that? Could it be that this place was not Blue Star?

Moreover, how did this lord guess that she came from Blue Star?

However, she would not dare to ask more at this moment. "Yes, my lord."

"Follow me."

Beirut looked at the Crimson Feather Golden Phoenix, nodded, and flew directly toward the Dark Forest.

Beirut was also feeling somewhat puzzled in his heart at this moment; he wondered if there were any restrictions on using the teleportation array from the Blue Star Plane...

Just as the Crimson Feather Golden Phoenix had arrived, he had kept his divine sense focused on the magic array, memorizing the energy circulation path when the array activated...

Perhaps this would be the opportunity for him to figure out the secrets of this magic array.

On the way to the Dark Forest, even though Beirut slowed his pace, the Crimson Feather Golden Phoenix still found it difficult to keep up.

However, for a Saint-level Magic Beast, having this level of speed was quite impressive.

In any Material Plane, Saint-level Magic Beasts were considered top-tier existences, and they naturally knew more than ordinary people. Therefore, Beirut also wanted to extract some information from this Saint-level Magic Beast.

Perhaps, the Saint-level Magic Beast might even know the method to activate this magic array.

Furthermore, he himself was a Magic Beast, so he naturally held a slightly higher regard for Magic Beasts than for humans.

Dark Forest.

The Crimson Feather Golden Phoenix transformed back into the size of a palm, following cautiously behind Beirut.

Soon, a massive, pitch-black Metal Castle appeared before their eyes.

A castle made entirely of special metal?

The Crimson Feather Golden Phoenix considered herself well-traveled, but this was the first time she had ever seen a Metal Castle like the one before her.

Not only that, but the many scenes she had witnessed on the way here had left her heart increasingly shocked.

She... it seemed... she was no longer on Blue Star?

After approaching the Metal Castle, the castle opened its doors on its own.

Upon entering, the Crimson Feather Golden Phoenix was even more stunned; all the decorations and items inside seemed to be part of the Metal Castle itself?!

And there were no traces of seams or joints!

Was this a castle carved and crafted from a single piece of metal?

Thinking of this, the Crimson Feather Golden Phoenix became even more restrained.

It would not be difficult for her to destroy a metal castle, but to craft one like this was something she could never do.

Even finding such a large piece of material would be difficult on Blue Star.

At this moment, she felt some regret for rashly entering the valley.

Of course, she did not know that this Metal Castle would also actively attack intruders. Even the most powerful Saint-level expert could not withstand a single strike from the Metal Castle.

Moreover, under normal circumstances, a Saint-level expert would not be qualified to enter this place.

The only reason she was able to enter was entirely due to "Blue Star" and the magic array.

"Don't be nervous. I won't do anything to you; just tell me about the situation on Blue Star."

Beirut looked very amiable as he said this with a smile.

At this moment, the magic array and the so-called "Blue Star" had captured all his attention, to the point where he didn't even care about the events unfolding on the Yulan Continent.

And at this very moment, it was exactly when Beibei and Linley were forging their equal contract.

Beirut's attitude made the Crimson Feather Golden Phoenix feel inexplicably more at ease.

Afterward, she carefully recounted the situation she knew in simple terms.

"You only started cultivating ten thousand years ago?"

Beirut frowned.

The birth of a Material Plane occurred very early, even earlier than the birth of the Higher Planes. It had been countless billions of years, and since its inception was under the laws, how could it be possible that cultivation only began ten thousand years ago?

This was simply an impossible thing.

"Yes, my lord. Ten thousand years ago, Blue Star initiated the 'Transcendence.' That was also when I first gained my own consciousness..."

The Crimson Feather Golden Phoenix replied cautiously.

Although the little old man in front of her did not appear dangerous, she could not muster any thought of resistance.

On Blue Star, she had never encountered such a bizarre situation.

"Ten thousand years ago..."

Beirut's brows furrowed. That was exactly when he had just witnessed the Radiant Sovereign hunting down the Four Divine Beasts and obtaining a Godhead to become a Sovereign.

"Then what was the situation before ten thousand years ago?"

Beirut asked directly.

He could tell that the time since life began on Blue Star definitely exceeded ten thousand years.

"Uh..."

The Crimson Feather Golden Phoenix was also slightly stunned for a moment before saying, "I am not too sure, it seems they were all ordinary lifeforms..."

Most of the records from before the Blue Star "Transcendence" had been damaged or lost; even most humans were unclear about the situation back then.

Perhaps only some of the super-experts among humans had a slight understanding of the pre-Transcendence era.

As for Magic Beasts, they were naturally even less informed.

Most Magic Beasts did not even know there had been an era without Transcendence.

Listening to the words of the Crimson Feather Golden Phoenix, Beirut felt increasingly curious; this Blue Star seemed vastly different from an ordinary Material Plane...

"Does Blue Star have a Plane Guardian..."

Suddenly, remembering something, Beirut frowned and asked.

If Blue Star only began cultivation ten thousand years ago, what was the Plane Guardian doing?

"Plane Guardian?"

The Crimson Feather Golden Phoenix revealed a look of confusion.

"You have never seen a Plane Guardian?"

Seeing the expression of the Crimson Feather Golden Phoenix, Beirut had a guess in his heart.

"No, I have never heard of a Plane Guardian."

The Crimson Feather Golden Phoenix shook her head with certainty.

Plane Guardian? What was that? Furthermore, was this powerful existence "above the Saint-level" in front of her the master of the valley platform?

If so, why would he ask about Blue Star...

But if not, then who was he...

The Crimson Feather Golden Phoenix was also pondering in her heart.

"Then do you know of the Divine Planes or teleportation arrays?"

Beirut's expression remained unchanged.

The Crimson Feather Golden Phoenix continued to shake her head, "I have never heard of them."

However, she felt a bit excited in her heart at this moment. Divine Planes?

Could it be that those above the Saint-level are gods?

Do gods have a world specifically for them to live in?

The Crimson Feather Golden Phoenix imagined many possibilities.

As expected...

Beirut was slightly silent.

This "Blue Star" plane perhaps did not have a Plane Guardian.

The five humans from before were at most Level 7 Warriors, so naturally, they could not know of the existence of a Plane Guardian.

That was why he hadn't asked them about these things at all.

However, for any lifeform that reached the Saint-level, a Plane Guardian would seek them out to explain the situation of the Divine Planes and lobby these lifeforms to head to the Divine Planes. This was a task arranged by the Sovereigns, and no one dared to disobey.

If the Crimson Feather Golden Phoenix had never heard news of a Plane Guardian or the Divine Planes, then Blue Star definitely did not have a Plane Guardian.

Could there really be a Material Plane without a Plane Guardian?

Although he was also a Highgod, he had only attained that status for a little over ten thousand years, and his Highgod clone had been trapped in the Yulan Continent all that time, so he did not know much about these miscellaneous matters.

Otherwise, if it were any other Highgod, they could have easily determined whether the Blue Star Plane existed through the teleportation array.

The teleportation array was established by the Overgod to connect all planes. It was impossible for any plane to be left out.

No Plane Guardian, no news of the Divine Plane, and quite possibly, no teleportation array leading to the Divine Plane...

Could this Blue Star Plane... really be a Material Plane?

Beirut frowned, feeling that the direction of his thoughts might have gone astray.

But if this Blue Star Plane was not a Material Plane, then what could it be...

Could it be...

That this Blue Star Plane was actually a small plane created by some Highgod?

Beirut's small eyes narrowed.

It seemed that such a possibility was not entirely out of the question.

For instance, the Necropolis of the Gods was actually a plane he had created himself.

The life forms within it were those he had captured from various planes and sent inside.

However, the Necropolis of the Gods was merely a small plane reliant upon the Yulan Continent plane.

This Blue Star Plane seemed slightly different from the Necropolis of the Gods. Especially this Magic Teleportation Array—how did it manage to connect to the Yulan Continent?

And it had formed a teleportation channel directly without him even knowing about it.

This was fundamentally impossible.
