Augusta's Mood

At this moment, Beirut's brain began to race. He thought through every person he had offended from the time he was born until now, and finally concluded that he should not have offended such powerful figures.

As a rodent-type magical beast, caution was his fundamental nature. He had killed many magical beasts over the years, including god-level powerhouses, but they were all individuals without any backing or background.

Beirut never provoked those with deep backgrounds that he couldn't afford to offend, which was why he had never truly encountered any danger until now.

"I wonder what instructions you lords have for Beirut?"

Beirut bowed his head without hesitation and asked respectfully.

Hearing Beirut's voice, the few people began to size this fellow up carefully.

"This Beirut seems to be a divine beast, but he doesn't look like anything special, does he?"

Adkins narrowed his eyes, not quite understanding the reason why his lord had taken a fancy to Beirut.

However, recalling the last time his lord took him to see Leilin, he hadn't seen anything special about Leilin either, so he could only conclude that his own judgment was lacking.

"You are Beirut, are you interested in following by my side?"

Huosi looked at this greatest cheat-code beside Linley and spoke with great interest.

Looking across the entire Coiling Dragon, the most impressive supporting character was not Beibei or Delia, but this seemingly kind and amiable little old man, Beirut.

Throughout Linley's entire growth journey, aside from relying on Doering during his childhood, he had never been without Beirut's help in his later years.

Beirut, a powerful super divine beast, a Highgod who dared to snatch food from the mouth of the Chief Sovereign of Light—based on this experience alone, he could be proud in front of any Highgod.

"Follow by your side?"

Beirut was slightly stunned, then quickly replied:

"My lord, Beirut is willing!"

Although he didn't know who the person before him was, Beirut could see clearly that of the four people present, this man was the leader.

Any one of these four, if taken out individually, made him feel that they were unfathomable.

He was a god-level powerhouse himself, and the only ones who could give him this feeling were either Midgods or Lowgods equipped with an Anti-Divine Domain System battle armor.

The Anti-Divine Domain Battle Armor was a very rare existence within the entire Federation, and Midgods also held very high status in the Federation.

Although Beirut didn't know the detailed information about the Federation's upper echelons, he knew that there were few Highgods in the Federation, and Midgods were already the backbone.

An existence capable of having three Midgods as subordinates must be extremely powerful.

"Oh, you are quite sensible."

Huosi was slightly startled, then nodded slightly.

The current Beirut was not the super divine beast Asura who would become famous across the planes, nor was he the Wind Sovereign who dared to snatch items from the Chief Sovereign of Light.

Right now, he was just an ordinary Lowgod divine beast; he probably didn't even know how terrifying his own talent was.

A super divine beast, without any comparison, would not know how terrifying their talent was compared to others.

"You agreed quite quickly. Don't you want to ask who we are?"

Huosi looked at Beirut with a smile and asked.

"Although I don't know your specific identity, my lord, your strength makes you worthy of Beirut's service. Furthermore, I believe that someone of your status would not deceive me."

Beirut bowed respectfully and answered directly.

"You are quite clever indeed!"

Huosi nodded slightly and said nothing more.

No matter how good Beirut's talent was, he was only a Lowgod right now, so there was no need to show too much enthusiasm.

"Handle the matters here, take this, and report to the Academy of Sciences on the Qingya Continent."

Huosi casually grabbed something and tossed a specially made identity bracelet directly to Beirut.

The Qinghuo beside him twitched his eyes; he was familiar with this operation—his Xiao Ai came about in exactly this way.

"This is?" As Beirut took the bracelet and was feeling puzzled, Huosi and the other three disappeared directly.

"I remember, this is the identity bracelet of the Qingya Continent. It seems this lord's identity is quite extraordinary."

Beirut put on the bracelet, dripped a drop of blood into it, and began to guess what the identities of these people could be.

[Identity authentication in progress. Authentication successful. Welcome to the Huosi Academy of Sciences!]

"Huosi Academy of Sciences?"

As the voice from the bracelet rang out, Beirut's voice increased in volume by several decibels.

Huosi Academy of Sciences—this name was all too familiar to him. It was the department directly managed by the Federation's supreme ruler, Lord Huosi.

Had he just joined directly under Lord Huosi's command?

Could that person just now have been Lord Huosi himself!

Although Beirut had heard many legends about Lord Huosi, he had truly never seen the man himself.

The Magical Beast Continent was different from the human continents; the living environment leaned more toward forests and the like, and there were no cities or recorded projections.

Although Beirut had been to other continents, he had never deliberately sought to learn what Huosi looked like.

[Hello, new student Beirut, I am your intelligent assistant, Jarvis. If you have any questions, you may ask me directly.]

As the system continued to speak, Beirut finally snapped back to reality.

"Um, Mr. Jarvis, was that Lord just now Lord Huosi?"

Beirut swallowed hard, asking the question in a daze.

[First, you may call me Jarvis directly; there is no need to add 'Mr.' After all, although Jarvis's voice uses a male tone, Jarvis himself has no gender.]

[Second, Jarvis has just awakened and does not know exactly who you are referring to as 'that Lord.' However, if you are asking about the existence who handed Jarvis over to you, that is Lord Huosi. In the Federation, only Lord Huosi can entrust Jarvis to you.]

"Heavens, I was actually... scouted by Lord Huosi."

Beirut felt a surge of ecstasy in his heart, and in his excitement, he accidentally yanked out a large handful of his beard.

Life born in the Yulan Plane basically grew up listening to the legends of Huosi. Even though he was born on the Magical Beast Continent, he had heard tales of Lord Huosi after reaching the Saint Realm.

That Lord was a supreme powerhouse who had founded the Federation eons ago, ruled over countless planes, and had multiple Highgods serving under his command.

Although Beirut had traveled to other continents, that did not include the Qingya Continent.

Let alone Yulan City, which was the core of the Qingya Continent, the heart of the Federation, and the location of the Academy of Sciences.

And now, he had become a member of that very organization, and one with the highest level of clearance at that.

While Beirut was lost in a brainstorm, on the other side, among the four who had departed, three were somewhat puzzled.

"My Lord, is this Beirut's innate talent and bloodline really that formidable?"

After a long silence, Pusiluo was the first to speak up.

Pusiluo had witnessed the entire scene just now.

After all, he was the only one present with a non-human bloodline, and he had some guesses regarding Beirut's talent.

Although he was a Highgod, when Beirut unleashed his innate divine ability to devour the other party's godspark, he simply could not comprehend how that attack was executed.

"God-Eater Rat, a super divine beast. Even looking across the Divine Planes, it is a top-tier bloodline."

Huosi paused for a moment, then continued:

"Once he breaks through to a Highgod, even Leilin will not be his match."

"What? How is that possible?"

Adkins could not help but exclaim, speaking in disbelief.

Leilin was already a top-tier powerhouse who had fused five profound mysteries; Adkins could not last long in his hands.

But that Beirut—what right did he have? To be that strong just by breaking through to a Highgod?

"Is it because of his innate divine ability?"

A flash of brilliance appeared in Leilin's eyes, as if he had realized something.

"Correct. The innate divine ability God-Slaying can bypass soul defense and directly devour the opponent's godspark. At the very least, our current soul-defensive artifacts are insufficient to withstand it."

Huosi nodded, confirming Leilin's speculation.

Over these years, although Huosi had invested considerable energy into the study of the soul, soul-defensive artifacts still could not contend with Sovereign Artifacts.

And the innate divine ability God-Eating, at the Highgod stage, could only be resisted by soul-defensive Sovereign Artifacts and Willpower.

Because of this, even though Beibei had not fused a single profound mystery, he could still wreak havoc on the Plane Battlefield.

Even Raystine, who prided himself on his innate gifts as a super divine beast, dared not tank that move.

The conflict between Raystine and Montero had been festering for a long time, yet there was never a way to resolve it; as a result, once Beibei arrived, he wiped out the opposing side entirely.

That wasn't even the most significant part; the most terrifying thing was that the Wind-style Grand Perfection Bayer had tried his absolute best and still couldn't kill him.

The physical defense of the God-Eater Rat, bolstered by the essence of the godspark, left Bayer—who was using a Sovereign Artifact and Sovereign Power—completely helpless.

"Then, my Lord, is there no way to defend against his innate divine ability?"

Leilin pondered for a moment before asking.

"Of course there is. As long as you perfectly fuse six profound mysteries and break through to the realm of Grand Perfection, you will naturally be able to withstand it!"

Huosi glanced at Leilin, speaking in a tone that was half-encouragement and half-playful.

"Grand Perfection? That is difficult!"

Leilin shook his head slightly, though his gaze gradually became firm.

Seeing this, Huosi said no more. Breaking through to Grand Perfection was something that relied solely on Leilin's own insights; there was no way for others to help.

As time passed, Beirut began to integrate into Huosi's team. Huosi and Beirut of the Qingya Plane were in high spirits, but on the other side, Augusta was in a very foul mood.

As the other side of Oufu, Augusta did not like to cultivate; after all, the side that enjoyed cultivation resided entirely within that madman Oufu.

However, even the most reluctant student, after playing for several months straight, would eventually develop an urge to read a book for a few minutes.

Thus, Augusta went into seclusion to cultivate for a while. It didn't take long—just a few hundred million years, which passed in the blink of an eye.

Only then did he learn that during the brief moment he had been in seclusion, a conflict had broken out between the Four Divine Beasts Clan and the Augusta Clan.

He was immediately overjoyed and was just considering how to quietly stir the pot to escalate the conflict when he learned that the dispute between the two sides had already ended.

The Four Divine Beasts Clan had ultimately chosen to let the matter rest.

"Reding and the other three actually chose to let it go?" Augusta was somewhat puzzled.

The personalities of those four foolish beasts had always been such that they couldn't endure the slightest grievance, yet this time they had actually swallowed it?
