Bolan gave Elder Gaya a deep look, his tone cold. "I wonder how the Elder intends for me to proceed!"
"Lord Bolan, please, for the sake of our shared race, forgive Gaya once!" Hearing the change in Bolan's tone, Gaiseresen bowed deeply to Bolan in fear.
"Brother, what are you doing? You are the patriarch of the family. Even if Bolan is at the Paragon, you shouldn't bow to him." Gaya looked at Gaiseresen with a face full of disappointment.
Most members of the Four Divine Beasts Clan had been anticipating this day for many years, but their past glory compelled them to resist bowing to the Eight Great Clans. Therefore, they continuously sent powerful members of their clans into Bloodbattle Valley. However, if this continued, the Four Divine Beasts Clan would disappear from the annals of history within five thousand years.
"Over the years, enough people in the family have sacrificed themselves. I can't watch the family continue like this!" Gaiseresen suddenly looked up at Gaya.
Gaya had never seen Gaiseresen with such a terrifying expression. Long tear streaks ran down his cold face, and his blood-red eyes stared fiercely at Gaya.
"If that's the case..." Gaya looked disappointed.
Before the words had even finished, a cold, iron-blooded voice rang out. "May I ask, clan leader, what about all our sacrifices over the years?"
" Bulu, I've said enough." Gaiseresen's tone changed from amiable at the beginning, and he glared at Elder Bru, who had just spoken.
"Chieftain... you've become a coward!" Bulo looked at Gaiseresen with a disappointed expression.
" Gaiseresen, it seems that you Four Divine Beasts Clan intend to defy Lord Bolan's wishes!" The members of the Eight Great Clans, who had never left, all looked at Gaiseresen with mocking expressions.
"Since that's the case, I, Bulu, will today relinquish this strongest Divine Clone to awaken the dormant fighting spirit of my clan," Bulu declared righteously. He lightly fluttered his white cloak behind him and walked indifferently toward the location of the Eight Great Clans.
" Gaiseresen, I'm very disappointed in you!" At this moment, Bolan sighed softly and stood up.
" Bolan... Lord!" Gaiseresen choked out, no longer looking at Bulu.
"I didn't intend to make a move today, but there's Barbary first, and then there's you, the genius elder of the Azure Dragon Clan." Bolan walked slowly toward Bulu with a look of disappointment on his face.
"Hmph, you're supposed to be a member of the Azure Dragon Clan, but while your clansmen are fighting for the clan's honor, you're hiding in your residence cultivating alone. Even after reaching the Paragon stage, you don't think about contributing to the clan." Bulu snorted heavily, his eyes fixed on Bolan with hostility.
"Alas, it's because there are too many people like you in the family who keep dreaming about past glories that the Four Divine Beasts Clan family has lost most of its elders in just ten thousand years." Bolan sighed softly, and slowly pointed his finger, a barely perceptible thin line instantly piercing through Bulu's head.
Elder Bru's vision went blank for a moment, and his tall body collapsed to the ground with a thud.
" Bolan, you actually killed Bulu!" Gaya's eyes were bloodshot as she went completely berserk, transforming and charging towards Bolan.
With a deafening roar, Gaiseresen closed his eyes tightly, a line of bloody tears slowly streaming down his face.
" The Eight Great Clans should all leave now!" Bolan's icy voice rang out.
"Yes, Lord Bolan!" The members of the Eight Great Clans looked at the decisive Bolan with fear on their faces, and after replying, they quickly flew away in all directions.
After a moment, Gaiseresen suppressed his grief, gently put away the Material Defense Sovereign Artifact left behind by Gaya, and led the other three clan leaders to Bolan. He bowed deeply to Bolan: "Lord Bolan, we will forever remember your kindness."
All the elders of the Four Divine Beasts Clan bowed to Bolan, following their respective family patriarchs.
Bolan said calmly, "Just don't complain about what I did today!"
Gaiseresen bowed respectfully and said, "I dare not..."
"Hehe~~" Bolan gave Gaiseresen a deep look, but didn't take him seriously. He chuckled and flew back to the Yulan Lineage's encampment with Linley and Bebe.
"Big brother, are you alright?" The White Tiger Clan Leader looked at Gaiseresen with a worried expression. The other two also looked at Gaiseresen with concern.
"Sigh~" Gaiseresen sighed softly, "It's nothing. Bolan did it for the good of the family. Gaya and Bulu did go too far. If Bolan had just abandoned the matter because of Gaya and Bulu, that would have been the end of our Four Divine Beasts Clan."
"Alright, Bulu and Gaya both have Divine Clone, so they can't be considered fallen. Today is the happiest day in ten thousand years for our Four Divine Beasts Clan."
Wiping away his tears, Gaiseresen shouted to everyone present, "Everyone!"
Gaiseresen's voice resounded throughout the entire mountain range, and countless tribesmen immediately turned their eyes to him.
Gaiseresen proclaimed in a booming voice, "Today is a day of great joy! For over ten thousand years, our Four Divine Beasts Clan has borne immense pressure, with elders falling one by one in battle... But today, our Four Divine Beasts Clan has finally produced a Paragon level expert! Because of him, the people of our Four Divine Beasts Clan can once again fly freely in the skies above Hell. To celebrate these two great events, we must have a grand celebration! All clansmen, let us rejoice for three days!"
Countless tribesmen cheered...
The once quiet Tianji Mountain Range was bustling with activity for three days and three nights.
During this time, Gaiseresen and others invited Bolan and his group, but Bolan declined. Only Bebe, who enjoyed the lively atmosphere, went and had fun for two days.
"Brother, my strength has almost reached a bottleneck! I still haven't grasped the final step of the fifth Mysteries!" In the courtyard, Linley sat opposite Bolan and said softly.
Bolan pondered for a moment and said, "There are no shortcuts in the Fusion Law. Now that you've sensed the bottleneck, continuing to work in isolation won't lead to progress. Why not go out and see the sights? Perhaps it will help you break through!"
"Brother, I wonder if there's any way to bring the dead back to life!" Linley looked at Bolan expectantly, as if he had just thought of something.
"Resurrect the dead," Bolan murmured, then closed his eyes and fell silent.
"Brother, you know the method, right?" Linley's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he said eagerly to Bolan.
Bolan gave Linley a deep look. "Hmm, I know the method, but are you sure you want to try it?"
"My two brothers, Yale and George, were killed recently by a guy who came out of the Gobada Plane Prison," Linley said sadly.
"Although I managed to kill the man in time, the Yale boss and George were already dead when I arrived."
"And I want to see if I can resurrect my mother as well..." Linley said, his face filled with confusion. Hundreds of years had passed, and the image of his mother, Lina, had long since vanished from Linley's mind.
"Mother..." Bolan sighed softly. His mother had been sacrificed to the Chief Sovereign of Light. Even with the complete fusion of the four elemental rules, Bolan wasn't confident he could kill the Chief Sovereign of Light. Moreover, behind the Chief Sovereign of Light was the Fate Sovereign, " Orloff," who possessed three Overgod.
"It is said that the Chief Sovereign of the Netherworld can find the souls of the dead, and as long as the Chief Sovereign intervenes, he can easily restore the memories of their past lives," Bolan said in a deep voice with his eyes slightly closed.
Linley's face flushed bright red. "It actually works..."
A hint of reluctance appeared on Bolan's face. In fact, if Bolan had simply spoken to the Sovereign of Death, he could have resurrected Yale and George. But Bolan did not. He thought of how Linley in the original story went to the Netherworld and then to the Plane Battlefield because he wanted to resurrect people who were important to him. Finally, under extremely dangerous circumstances, he accomplished the unprecedented feat of Four-Element Soul Mutation and transcended this universe in one fell swoop.
Bolan chose to remain silent on this matter. He didn't want his brother to face such a dangerous choice.
But seeing Linley's excited expression, Bolan was moved again. "Am I really going to ruin Linley's Path of Transcendence?" Bolan couldn't help but ask himself.
"Brother, I'm going to the Netherworld to beg the Chief Sovereign to resurrect them!" Linley shouted excitedly.
"Phew, is that so? Since you've made up your mind, then follow your own heart!" Upon hearing Linley's excited shout, Bolan felt a great weight lifted from his heart. He let out a soft breath and spoke earnestly to Linley.
"Brother, you know more about other planes. Where in the Netherworld are there any Chief Sovereign?" Linley asked, casting an expectant look at Bolan.
"Hehe, the highest peak in the Netherworld, there must be a Chief Sovereign on Nethermountain." Bolan chuckled and led Linley toward Nethermountain, where the Sovereign of Death resided.
" Nethermountain!!!" Linley's face was full of excitement.
P. S.: After much thought, I've decided to send Linley to the Plane Battlefield; otherwise, this book will probably have to end abruptly.
