Information on the Four Divine Beasts Clan

"Impressive, to think you could discover me." A voice drifted from within the dark shadow: "Your Laws of Darkness must have already begun to fuse profound mysteries, right?"

As the voice faded, a figure emerged from the darkness. A Midgod domain expanded, blanketing this small area and enveloping Sean within it.

"A Midgod? Of the fire element?" Sean frowned. He had never heard of a fire-element Midgod existing on the Zhongyuan Continent.

If such an existence truly existed, they would normally have emerged to compete for faith energy.

Any god was inevitably tied to this; faith energy was simply too important for cultivation at the god level.

Unless, of course, he had determined that faith energy was of little use to him. This possibility existed. For instance, the faith energy of a single plane was truly of little effect to a six-star or seven-star level expert.

However, aside from the Yulan Plane, the probability of a six-star level expert appearing natively in any of the other hundreds of millions of material planes was extremely low. Otherwise, there would be countless billions of seven-star fiends in the Divine Planes.

"I am the Plane Overseer of the Zhongyuan Continent material plane. You may call me Jinhuo," Jinhuo said with a smile, taking some tables and chairs from his interspatial ring and gesturing for Sean to sit.

"So it is Lord Jinhuo," Sean said politely.

Jinhuo said: "I, Jinhuo, have lived for I don't know how many billions of years. When I was in Hell, I once left home to wander, and later, I took on the task of overseeing a material plane. I have been to many material planes and seen countless geniuses.

Yet, whether in Hell or other material planes, this is truly the first time I have seen a genius like you.

You should only be thirty years old, right? To be honest, becoming a god independently at thirty—even in Hell, aside from the special methods of my Four Divine Beasts Clan, it is very difficult for ordinary people to achieve. Even refining a godhead usually takes decades."

"The Four Divine Beasts Clan?" Sean's heart stirred. He hadn't expected this Plane Overseer to be from the Four Divine Beasts Clan.

"Yes, the Four Divine Beasts Clan." After Jinhuo finished speaking, cyan scales appeared all over his body. An aura, similar to that drop of Azure Dragon Sovereign essence blood in the ring in Sean's hand, radiated outward—though the concentration was vastly different; they were not on the same level at all.

This Jinhuo is of the Azure Dragon clan? And he cultivates the fire-element laws?

However, upon further thought, the Four Divine Beasts Clan members did not strictly cultivate only their corresponding laws. For example, Linley primarily cultivated the Earth and Wind laws. With so many people in the Four Divine Beasts Clan, it was normal for some to have other talents.

"Yes, I come from the great Four Divine Beasts Clan, the Azure Dragon clan," Jinhuo said with great pride.

"My apologies, I am not familiar with them," Sean said. Under normal circumstances, as a native of this material plane, he shouldn't know about the Four Divine Beasts Clan.

"Haha, you are indeed not familiar with them," Jinhuo laughed heartily: "Sean, are you planning to go to the Higher Planes or the Divine Planes? You are already at the god level. According to the rules set by the great supreme gods, as long as one is at the Saint level, they can head to the Higher Planes."

"I won't be going in the short term," Sean said. He had to at least reach the Midgod level before going; otherwise, even as a God-Eater Rat super divine beast, it would be too dangerous.

"Very well. If you ever wish to go, head to Tianluo Island in the depths of the South Sea. There is a teleportation array there that leads to the Higher Planes and the Divine Planes," Jinhuo added:

"However, if you do go one day, you can head to Youlan Prefecture on the Blood Peak Continent in Hell. Our Four Divine Beasts Clan is very willing to recruit geniuses like you."

Jinhuo usually couldn't be bothered to recruit ordinary geniuses, but someone like Sean possessed truly formidable talent.

Such an existence, if they could survive, would likely become a Highgod, or perhaps even that terrifying seven-star fiend. For the Four Divine Beasts Clan, a seven-star fiend was a very powerful combat force.

At the very least, even if he didn't join the clan, becoming friends would be good. No one would refuse a powerful six-star or seven-star fiend as a friend.

"The Four Divine Beasts Clan—judging by the name, it must be a divine beast clan, right? Do you also recruit outsiders, those of ordinary races?" Sean asked.

"Hahaha, we are indeed a divine beast clan, but a divine beast clan cannot rely solely on internal intermarriage and reproduction. We always need to find outsiders. Furthermore, many clansmen fall in love freely, and the clan cannot stop that," Jinhuo said with a smile:

"If you are willing to join our clan, we can naturally introduce you to an excellent female clansman. If you become partners and have offspring, they would be of the Four Divine Beasts Clan, and you would naturally be considered part of our Four Divine Beasts Clan as well."

"So that's how it is." Sean nodded. No wonder the Four Divine Beasts Clan could produce so many experts; it seemed they could acquire a large amount of external support through this method.

And most importantly, by acquiring the extreme talents of others, the children born would be descendants of the Four Divine Beasts.

In the Coiling Dragon world, talent was an uncertain thing, but it had a certain degree of inheritance. In other words, the child of a Grand Perfection might not necessarily be a genius, but the probability of a genius appearing was much higher than that of an ordinary person.

This was true even in material planes; people with talent had descendants who were much stronger than the average person.

And when divine beast bloodlines combined with ordinary bloodlines, the resulting offspring were inevitably divine beast descendants.

However, under normal circumstances, if the divine beast bloodline became thin, they would be equivalent to an ordinary race, because even second-generation divine beasts would only have the bloodline but no innate divine abilities.

But the Four Divine Beasts Clan was an exception. Their descendants could not only use innate divine abilities but could also directly become gods in one element—it was simply heaven-defying.

By operating this way over the long term, the number of experts within the Four Divine Beasts Clan would continue to grow, and they used outsiders to develop themselves.

It was no wonder that only the Augusta clan, which could adopt super geniuses from material planes as their own children, could contend with the Four Divine Beasts Clan.

"You just need to know roughly that our Four Divine Beasts Clan is the most powerful clan in the Higher Planes," Jinhuo said calmly.

"Very well, I will consider it when the time comes," Sean said, giving no promises. He had already obtained the information he needed.

That was that the Four Divine Beasts Clan was still powerful, which meant the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns were not yet dead.

This was the most important piece of information; it at least confirmed that he was not in the era after Linley's rise.

"Very well, as a Plane Overseer, that was my only question," Jinhuo continued:

"However, as an individual, I would like to ask you a few more questions. The first is, I don't know why, but the moment you appeared today, I felt that there was something on you that was attracting me. It is very strange, but I don't think I am wrong."
