Ten Years of Cultivation

Liewen and the High Priest sat down in their chairs.

Not long after, the War God arrived. After bowing to Beirut, he sat beside Liewen.

Dylin and Cesar arrived one after another as well.

Other than Lolita, all the God Realm experts of Yulan Continent had gathered.

"Catherine, go out and tell those Saint Realm youngsters that the entrance to the Necropolis of the Gods this time is at the bottom of the South Sea. We'll set off tonight. Anyone who is afraid can leave," Beirut said.

There were three Necropolises of the Gods, with entrances in the North Sea, the Dark Forest, and the South Sea. Of them, the Necropolis of the Gods in the South Sea was the most dangerous. Naturally, it also held the most treasures, including more than one Lowgod Godspark.

This was what the Saint Realm experts desired most.

When the War God and the others heard that they would be entering the Necropolis of the Gods in the South Sea, their expressions changed slightly, but they said nothing.

"Yes," the High Priest replied.

"Lord Beirut, isn't Lolita coming?" Dylin asked in confusion.

"She has no Saint Realm subordinates entering the Necropolis of the Gods. In ten years, she'll come and enter with you," Beirut said.

After entering the Necropolis of the Gods, they had to remain inside for ten years before they could leave. The Saint Realm experts entered first, and only ten years later could the God Realm experts enter.

Following Beirut's orders, Liewen and the others left the Metal Castle and informed the Saint Realm experts of the entrance to the Necropolis of the Gods.

The War God, the High Priest, and Dylin had all brought Saint Realm experts with them. In addition, Saint Realm Limit experts directly under Beirut's command, such as Desri, had also brought Saint Realm experts.

Altogether, there were more than eighty Saint Realm experts.

All eighty or so of them were at least third-tier Saint Realm experts. It could be said that nearly the strongest group on Yulan Continent was gathered here.

When the High Priest announced that this time the entrance was at the bottom of the South Sea—

Among the Saint Realm experts, those like Desri and Fain, who had entered the Necropolis of the Gods several times, immediately understood the danger involved.

After some explanation, although every Saint Realm expert present looked grim, no one chose to leave.

Most of the Saint Realm experts present had cultivated for over a thousand years. Their wills were resolute, and they would not retreat because of unknown danger.

Late that night, Beirut left the Metal Castle and led everyone toward the South Sea.

The entrance to this Necropolis of the Gods lay twenty thousand meters beneath the surface of the South Sea. There was a Spatial Gate there leading to another plane.

Following Beirut through the Spatial Gate, everyone arrived at the plane where the Necropolis of the Gods was located.

This was a plane created by Beirut. After becoming a Sovereign, one gained the ability to create such divine planes.

Of course, the divine plane Beirut had created was still inferior to the Four Supreme Planes and the Seven Divine Planes.

The Four Supreme Planes had each been created by one of the four Overgods, while the Seven Divine Planes had been jointly created by the Sovereigns of the various elements. Whether in size or stability, they far surpassed the divine plane Beirut had created.

Within this divine plane stood a rectangular building as immense as a mountain. On its four walls were enormous relief carvings of a giant dragon, a White Tiger, a phoenix, and a dragon turtle.

Liewen knew that the carvings depicted the four Divine Beasts: the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise.

The Four Ultimate Warriors possessed the bloodlines of the Four Divine Beasts.

These Four Divine Beasts had all once been Sovereigns, but they had now fallen. Beirut's becoming a Sovereign was also closely tied to them.

Beirut introduced the main dangers and treasures of this expedition to the many Saint Realm experts. Then Linley and the others passed through the passage, preparing to enter the Necropolis of the Gods.

"Linley, Desri, be careful," Liewen transmitted through divine sense to those he knew well.

Linley, Desri, and the others nodded, their expressions resolute as they entered the Necropolis of the Gods.

"Witnessed Linley entering the Necropolis of the Gods. Potential enhancement attempts +1."

"Liewen Andrew."

"Strength: Lowgod."

"Potential: Highgod capable of fusing four profound mysteries."

"Physical strength: Saint Realm."

"Physical potential: Highgod Artifact."

Having completed another witnessing mission, Liewen's potential rose to the level of a Highgod capable of fusing four profound mysteries.

The next witnessing mission was immediately revealed—witness Linley destroy the Radiant Church.

The system gave the witnessing time: ten years later.

This was the same as in the original work. After Linley entered the Necropolis of the Gods, he broke through amid a life-and-death crisis and found the point of compatibility for fusing the Fast and Slow Profound Mysteries within the Laws of Wind.

Once the two profound mysteries began to fuse, there would be no further obstacle to his becoming a Lowgod.

It was precisely because of this that, after Linley left the Necropolis of the Gods, both the High Priest and the War God regarded him as an expert of their level and proposed dividing the world into three.

The three sides joined forces to wipe out the other factions, including the Radiant Church, leaving only the O'Brien Empire, the Yulan Empire, and the Baruch Empire on Yulan Continent.

Linley naturally had no objections. Taking advantage of the opportunity, he uprooted the Radiant Church and avenged his parents and Doehring Cowart.

Liewen was somewhat troubled. The Radiant Church's current situation had already diverged from the original work. With Lolita around, how could the Radiant Church possibly be destroyed?

Liewen did not know what had caused the plot to deviate. Was it because he had fallen out with the Radiant Church? Or because he had befriended Linley?

Unable to figure it out, Liewen gritted his teeth and hardened his heart.

Since there's an extra Lolita, I'll kill her and put the plot back on track!

In any case, he and Lolita had already become enemies. Sooner or later, they would have to fight to the death. As long as he killed Lolita within these ten years, he could complete the witnessing mission according to the original course of events.

My potential has improved now, and my cultivation speed has increased again. Over these ten years, I may not be unable to advance another step.

After Linley and the others entered the Necropolis of the Gods, Beirut vanished. Liewen and the other God Realm experts had to wait here for ten years until Linley and the others emerged.

The War God and the High Priest were already experienced in this. Each found a place and began meditating in seclusion.

Liewen also found a quiet spot, where his divine Clone and true body cultivated simultaneously.

Time flowed like water, and more than nine years passed in the blink of an eye.

This divine plane created by Beirut also contained some lifeforms, which Beirut had relocated from Yulan Continent. There were even Saint Realm-level beings among them.

On this day, everyone's attention was drawn by a wave of energy. Even the four God Realm experts, including the High Priest, who were in the midst of cultivation, opened their eyes at the same time.

"Buzz—"

The Laws of Heaven and Earth descended.

"Who is about to become a god?"

The High Priest, the War God, Dylin, and Cesar flew toward the place where the Laws of Heaven and Earth had descended, while spreading out their divine senses.

When they discovered the figure shrouded by the Laws of Heaven and Earth, all four were stunned.

The person floating into the air under the influence of the Laws of Heaven and Earth was Liewen.

"Didn't Liewen become a god just ten years ago?" the War God asked, looking at the High Priest.

"Don't look at me. I don't know either." The High Priest shook her head.

A black shadow appeared before the four of them, gradually solidifying into Beirut.

"Lord Beirut." The High Priest and the other three bowed simultaneously.

Beirut looked at Liewen with great interest. "Ten years ago, I praised his rapid cultivation speed. He became a god at just over fifty years old. I never expected that after only ten years, he'd produce another divine Clone."
