Overgod Power is, for the vast majority of people, something that can be sought but never found.
In fact, more than ninety percent of living beings are not even aware of the existence of Overgod Power.
For those who do know of it, most have never even seen it.
A single drop of Overgod Power is worth tens or even hundreds of trillions of Inkstones.
Yet, according to Gaisresen, this was merely an apology to the Boy Family.
It must be said that such "sincerity" made even Hector Boy feel the urge to let the Four Divine Beasts Clan plunder them once more.
Of course, Hector Boy also knew that the reason he was able to receive this drop of Overgod Power as compensation was, most importantly, because the one protecting him was Lord Aier!
An invincible Paragon High-God!
If Lord Aier were not a Paragon, judging by the expressions of Patriarch Gaisresen and the other three patriarchs earlier, they seemed prepared to strike at Lord Aier directly.
Thinking of this, Hector Boy shivered and dared not dwell on it any further.
Although Lord Aier is a Paragon, the Four Divine Beasts Clan has four Overgod ancestors.
Hector Boy desperately wanted this drop of Overgod Power, but...
"Since Patriarch Gaisresen gave it to you, you should accept it."
Seeing Hector Boy looking at him, Aier naturally knew what he was thinking and spoke immediately.
"It is merely Overgod Power; it is nothing particularly precious."
"Yes, thank you, Lord Aier. Thank you, Patriarch Gaisresen."
After Hector received the drop of Overgod Power, he thanked Aier first, then Gaisresen.
Gaisresen's eyelids twitched a few times; this was the first time he had experienced the feeling of giving something away only for the recipient to express gratitude to someone else.
Furthermore, Aier's comment that Overgod Power was not particularly precious left Gaisresen at a loss for how to continue the conversation.
Even the apology given to the Boy Family was a drop of Overgod Power.
Then, what could the Four Divine Beasts Clan possibly offer Aier as an apology that would be worthy of his status and strength?
In this world, how many things are more precious than Overgod Power?
Overgod Artifacts?
Even his elders, the Four Divine Beasts Overgods, would not dare to bestow those lightly.
Of course, Gaisresen also knew that for a Paragon, Overgod Power was truly not something particularly rare.
As long as a Paragon mentions that they need Overgod Power, there are plenty of Overgods who would rush to offer it, if only to build a favorable connection with a Paragon.
In Gaisresen's view, maintaining a good relationship with Aier was beneficial and harmless to the Four Divine Beasts Clan.
If Aier's demands were not excessive, they were not impossible to fulfill.
It was just that since even Overgod Power didn't seem to catch Aier's eye, Gaisresen truly didn't know what else the Four Divine Beasts Clan had that could move him.
"Lord Aier, I wonder what you would require to be willing to let this matter pass?"
"Patriarch Gaisresen, having reached my level of cultivation, only those unknown things in this world can pique my interest."
Regarding this statement from Aier, Gaisresen and the others remained silent.
It was true; for them, fully fusing all the profound mysteries of a single law was something they could not achieve even after exhausting their life's efforts.
Yet a Paragon had already reached the end of the path of cultivation.
Although this statement made one feel the urge to punch someone, it was nonetheless the truth.
"I recall that your Four Divine Beasts Clan possesses treasures capable of stimulating the bloodlines of your descendants."
"Ten pieces each of the Dragon-Transforming Crystal, White Tiger Stone, Vermilion Bird Gall, and Black Tortoise Rock will suffice."
If Aier had guessed correctly, the Ancestral Baptism used by the Four Divine Beasts Clan to stimulate the bloodlines of their descendants was a method by which the Four Divine Beasts Overgods used their own essence blood to increase the concentration of their descendants' bloodlines.
The so-called Dragon-Transforming Crystal, White Tiger Stone, Vermilion Bird Gall, and Black Tortoise Rock were, in essence, the essence blood of the Four Divine Beasts Overgods.
If Aier had directly asked for the essence blood of the Four Divine Beasts Overgods, it is likely that not only Gaisresen, but even the Four Divine Beasts Overgods themselves, would have suspected that Aier knew something he shouldn't.
But by asking for the Dragon-Transforming Crystal, White Tiger Stone, Vermilion Bird Gall, and Black Tortoise Rock, they would at most assume that Aier also wanted to research methods for stimulating the bloodlines of descendants.
These four items were the cores of the arrays formed by the Four Divine Beasts Overgods to condense their own essence blood, and they only functioned when used in conjunction with the Ancestral Baptism arrays.
They did not believe that Aier could research anything of value from these four array cores.
Therefore, regarding this request from Aier, Gaisresen did not hesitate in the slightest and agreed immediately.
The essence blood of the Four Divine Beasts Overgods, even within the Four Divine Beasts Clan, was something far more precious than Overgod Power.
But as long as the Four Divine Beasts Overgods remained, the clan would never be short of such things.
The patriarchs of the Four Divine Beasts Clan personally escorted Aier, the Prefect of Liang'an Prefecture, out of the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range; this news quickly spread throughout Hell.
At the same time, rumors regarding Aier being a Paragon powerhouse spread along with it.
Combined with the first piece of news, everyone in Hell believed that the credibility of the second piece of news was quite high.
However, Aier had not displayed the might of a Paragon in public after all, so even with the Four Divine Beasts Clan vouching for him, everyone in Hell still regarded Aier as a "suspected Paragon."
After leaving the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range, Hector Boy parted ways with Aier to begin seeking a new direction for the development of the Boy Family.
Now that he had a drop of Overgod Power in his possession, coupled with Aier's protection, Hector Boy naturally did not worry that the Boy Family would once again be coveted by other forces.
With even the Four Divine Beasts Clan bowing before Lord Aier, what other force in the entire Hell would dare to touch the Boy Family?
As for Shier, he did not return to Liang'an Prefecture either, but instead took Eric and the others to start traveling around Hell.
Having lived in Hell for over a million years, it was only at this moment that Aier truly felt "freedom."
Of course, Aier was not just traveling for leisure.
If he encountered treasures or Heaven and Earth Wonders with special abilities, Aier would collect them, waiting for when his original body returned to hand these things over for it to refine.
As for cultivation...
That was the original body's business.
"Boss, bring a pot of wine and stir-fry two small dishes!"
"Coming right up, sir, please wait a moment, it will be ready immediately."
Sitting by the window on the second floor, Aier spread his divine sense to overlook the lives of the living beings in this city.
Compared to his Earth Element divine clone, Aier's original body in the Qingya Plane was also living a carefree life.
In any case, for Aier, so-called cultivation was merely the Equipment Slot refining a Godhead to absorb the Laws and Profound Mysteries.
During this period, whatever the original body did would not affect the refining efficiency of the Equipment Slot.
Therefore, over these years, Aier had also been traveling around the Qingya Plane.
Of course, Aier's primary range of travel was still the Orc Continent and the Wild Continent.
