Peaceful Years

After this Fiend mission, Hodan not only harvested two drops of Sovereign's Power but also gained a massive opportunity—the Blood Essence of a Destruction Giant. This transformed Hodan's bloodline into the unique bloodline of a Destruction Giant, granting him all the abilities of that race.

As for Renars's weak Thunder Serpent bloodline, who would still care about that? Even if Renars himself were here, I believe he would abandon his own bloodline without hesitation to fuse with the Destruction Giant's Blood Essence.

After all, what God-level expert wouldn't want a body at the level of a Sovereign Artifact, along with endless Sovereign's Power?

From this moment on, the path to the peak for Hodan would become a smooth, unobstructed road. Without needing to cultivate, Hodan could become an Asura-level powerhouse (using Sovereign's Power) in a thousand years simply by relying on his bloodline abilities.

Diligent cultivation could accelerate the Destruction Giant's path to maturity, but Hodan did not want to end up like the previous Destruction Giant, lacking ambition. Hodan's goal was to become a Paragon, because, not to mention the distant future, let's look at the immediate situation.

To deal with the Four Divine Beasts Clan, one must have the strength of a Paragon. Even being comparable to a Paragon is not enough; without Willpower, one doesn't even have the qualifications to face a Sovereign. The Four Divine Beasts Clan is currently under the protection of Beirut, and Beirut is a Sovereign.

This journey gave Hodan a deeper understanding of the Fate Law. Unknowingly, his comprehension of the Fate Law reached the peak of the Six-Star level, just a step away from breaking through to the Seven-Star level. This was a true peak Six-Star level, not one bolstered by special techniques or equipment like Zhengdu, although equipment is also a part of one's strength.

It can be said that his overall strength is no longer weak among Seven-Star Fiends. Crisis is always a catalyst for strength; this saying is truly correct, provided that you can survive. Now that Hodan has survived, he is reaping the dividends of becoming stronger.

After digesting his insights, Hodan recalled the previous Destruction Giant who died from the aftermath of a battle between two beings in the Spatial Turbulence. That battle had actually shattered a massive plane, which clearly indicated that Sovereigns were fighting in the Spatial Turbulence.

This is because even a Paragon could not fight in the Spatial Turbulence; a Paragon High-God is helpless when caught in the Spatial Turbulence.

The violent Spatial Turbulence impacts everything; even a Paragon caught within it can only drift with the current.

The only ones capable of maintaining their form and fighting in the Spatial Turbulence are Sovereigns. Furthermore, there is a record that the only Sovereign killed by a Supreme God for destroying a Material Plane was the husband of the Purple Thorn Sovereign. It was also after that incident that the Supreme God set the rule that Sovereigns must not enter Material Planes, with the reason being that "the energy of a Sovereign is too strong, causing the Material Plane to be unable to bear it."

Except for beings born in that Material Plane, one can only enter that plane after becoming a Sovereign.

"So you died at the hands of the Purple Thorn Sovereign's husband. I remember that the Purple Thorn Sovereign is also protecting the Four Divine Beasts Clan, right?" Hodan muttered to himself.

"If I have the chance, I will avenge you," Hodan thought silently. Having absorbed the Blood Essence, Hodan was like a reborn Destruction Giant, and he had paved the way to the peak. This not only saved Hodan time but also lowered the difficulty for him; what Hodan lacks most right now is time.

Of course, that is a matter for the future. The current Hodan is an ant who isn't even a Paragon, and he is not yet qualified to consider dealing with Sovereign-level figures. But Hodan has set the goal; after all, the road home is also filled with thorns, and Hodan will eventually have to face Sovereign-level opponents.

Hodan put away all his items and transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the mountain range.

After Hodan returned to Silvermoon City and turned in the Six-Star Fiend mission for the Thick Earth Tribe, he became a Six-Star Fiend. As for why he could complete the mission when the Thick Earth Tribe no longer existed?

The mission Hodan accepted was to destroy the Black Water Tribe. Even if the Thick Earth Tribe was gone, the Black Water Tribe had still been destroyed, hadn't it? Once the Fiend Castle confirmed that the Black Water Tribe had been destroyed, it naturally counted as Hodan completing the mission. It had nothing to do with whether the requester still existed; after all, such destruction missions require payment in advance before they can be posted.

From this day on, Hodan did not want to take on any more Fiend missions. As a Six-Star Fiend, he did not want to do any more missions unless he reached the Seven-Star Fiend level.

At this moment, Hodan only wanted to cultivate quietly. Of course, before that, his original body had to make a trip to the Yulan Continent to let his Thunder God Clone fuse into the original body first. Only then could the Thunder God Clone inherit the abilities and talent of the Destruction Giant; otherwise, only the original body would have top-tier thunder talent, while the Thunder God Clone would remain in its previous state.

Hodan's original body still needed to fully comprehend the Laws of Life, so he could only have the original body fuse with the Thunder God Clone first. Moreover, it would be more convenient and faster for the Thunder God Clone to comprehend and fuse the Thunder Element Profound Mysteries.

Of course, to ensure safety, before Hodan went to the Yulan Continent, his Fate God Clone fused with the original body to calculate the risks. Finding no danger, Hodan set off.

At the Black Annihilation Heaven Plane Teleportation Array, after exchanging pleasantries with Peg's squad, Hodan teleported to the Yulan Continent.

After a flash of light, Hodan appeared in the Yulan Continent, once again triggering a scan from Beirut. Hodan ignored it completely and had the Thunder God Clone fuse directly into his original body. He sat cross-legged on the spot and entered a state of cultivation. One month later, after the Thunder God Clone had finished its transformation, the original body returned to the Black Annihilation Heaven in Hell via the Plane Teleportation Array.

Once Hodan's original body returned to his mansion in Silvermoon City under the escort of the Fate God Clone, he finally took a rare moment to calm his mind and relax.

Although Hodan had only transmigrated for a few years and had only completed a few Fiend missions, with most of his time spent traveling, every single instance had been exceptionally perilous.

Although the rewards were always huge, the phrase "a dancer on the edge of a blade" was the most fitting description for Hodan. Under such high-intensity pressure, although Hodan's strength had grown, his spirit was also exhausted.

...In the tranquility, the days passed one by one.

Unknowingly, twelve years had passed since he transmigrated to the Coiling Dragon World. Each of his God clones was cultivating in an orderly fashion. Since inheriting the talent of the Destruction Giant, the Thunder God Clone's cultivation talent had skyrocketed.

It had now completely fused the Thunder Element and Swiftness Profound Mystery, and had also fully comprehended the Violent Profound Mystery. Currently, it was searching for the connection point between the Violent Profound Mystery and the other two fused mysteries.

The Destruction God Clone, through steady and solid cultivation over these few years, had become a Mid-God. It must be said that the Destruction Giant is truly a natural favorite of the Destruction and Thunder elements.

Once he cultivated diligently, the speed was simply off the charts. In just three short years, the Destruction Rules had advanced from a newborn Low-God to a Mid-God, and he had already traveled a long way within the Mid-God realm. He believed that the High-God realm was not too far off. Hodan was now a growing Destruction Giant, and he believed that in a few more decades, he would be able to cultivate to the mature High-God stage.

By then, even if the Destruction God Clone were a blank slate, it would have the strength of a Seven-Star Fiend due to the toughness of its divine body. Not to mention that the Destruction Giant was not lacking in Sovereign's Power.

The Fate God Clone was still at the Six-Star level, and the Death Rule was still at the Low-God level. However, it was exactly as Hodan had thought: there was a special connection between the Four Rules. Although Hodan had only cultivated three rule clones, there was already a faint connection between them; he was only missing the Life God Clone to form a complete cycle.

However, both the Fate and Death God clones were now able to enjoy the divine body enhancement of the Destruction Giant bloodline through the original body.
