"Hmm?"
Aier raised an eyebrow. Could it be that Beirut still hadn't begun fusing his Laws and Profound Mysteries?
"How many Laws and Profound Mysteries have you comprehended so far?"
"Five in the Darkness Element, four in the Wind Element."
"And you haven't fused a single one?"
"No."
Beirut shook his head. "Before you mentioned that Laws and Profound Mysteries could be fused, Senior Aier, I didn't even know such a thing was possible."
"Before that, I only wanted to become a High-God as quickly as possible..."
"Your line of thinking wasn't wrong."
Aier nodded slightly.
"Your Innate Divine Ability, God-Slaying, although unable to absorb the Laws and Profound Mysteries within a Godhead, possesses the power to instantly kill experts of the same rank."
"Once you break through to become a High-God, then before your soul energy is completely exhausted, there will be few among the High-Gods who can be your match."
"Hmm?"
Hearing these words from Aier, Beirut asked in confusion, "Senior Aier, isn't that statement a bit contradictory?"
"Didn't you say that God-Slaying has the ability to instantly kill experts of the same level? Why would you say there are few who are my match?"
"Could it be that among High-Gods, there are those who can withstand God-Slaying?"
"Yes."
Aier nodded. "Beirut, you must understand that although our Innate Divine Abilities are powerful, they ultimately fall under the category of 'soul attacks'."
"Above the God-level, there exist Overgods in this world."
"They look down upon all living beings, and with a single thought, they can decide the life or death of countless creatures."
"If a God-level expert obtains a Soul Defense Overgod Artifact bestowed by an Overgod, they can defend against your Innate Divine Ability, God-Slaying."
"Furthermore, if you encounter a Paragon who has completely fused all the Laws and Profound Mysteries of a single element, God-Slaying will also be useless."
"And whether it is an Overgod Envoy possessing a Soul Defense Overgod Artifact, or a Paragon who has completely fused a set of Laws and Profound Mysteries, their strength is extremely formidable."
"When that time comes, you will be in great danger."
"Overgods, Overgod Artifacts, Paragons..."
"Senior Aier, are these people very strong?"
"Yes, very strong."
Aier said, "The gap in strength between God-level experts is immense."
"Especially among High-Gods."
"A High-God who has merely comprehended all the Laws and Profound Mysteries of one element is considered the bottom rung of High-Gods in the Divine Plane, with strength and status only slightly higher than those who became High-Gods by refining a Godhead."
"For every additional Law and Profound Mystery fused, the strength of a God-level expert increases tenfold."
"And an Overgod Envoy who can gain the favor of an Overgod and be bestowed an Overgod Artifact possesses at least the strength of someone who has fully fused five Laws and Profound Mysteries."
"As for Paragons, they even hold the title of 'Invincible High-God'."
"Hiss..."
Beirut took a deep breath, a sense of anticipation for the Divine Plane rising in his heart.
In the Qingya Plane, before Aier arrived, Beirut was invincible.
However, with only a few Low-Gods and one ordinary Mid-God around, Beirut had no real sense of it.
He didn't feel that he was particularly strong.
Otherwise, Beirut wouldn't have been thinking about waiting until he became a High-God before heading to the Divine Plane.
Now, hearing these words from Aier, Beirut had a much deeper understanding of the experts in the Divine Plane and the Supreme Plane.
Fusing one more Law and Profound Mystery increases strength tenfold.
In other words, a High-God who has fused five Laws and Profound Mysteries is over ten thousand times stronger than an ordinary High-God!
What kind of concept was that?
In any case, Beirut couldn't imagine what his reaction would be if an expert ten thousand times stronger than himself appeared before him.
No!
Thinking of this, Beirut looked up at Aier.
Perhaps, Senior Aier was exactly such an existence!
His strength was definitely more than ten thousand times his own!
"Senior Aier, I also wish to become such an expert. Please, teach me!"
Since he knew that Aier regarded him as a junior, Beirut naturally wouldn't waste such an opportunity, and he bowed directly to Aier to plead.
"Even if you hadn't said those words, I would have taught you all the same."
Aier waved his hand, took out a Space Ring, removed his soul imprint, and tossed it to Beirut.
"Hiss, these... are all Godheads?"
After Beirut claimed the Space Ring as his own, he was immediately startled by what he found inside.
The Space Ring was filled with Earth Element Godheads that were of no further use to Aier.
"Mm."
"Beirut, our Innate Divine Ability is the only power in this entire world capable of refining Godheads."
"And Godheads are the most durable existences in this world."
"By refining Godheads and absorbing their essence, we can elevate our physical strength to a level comparable to the Godheads themselves."
"When that time comes, even if you encounter a powerhouse who doesn't fear God-Slaying, you won't be killed by their material attacks."
"These Godheads should be more than enough for you to raise your physical strength to match a Godhead."
"The remaining Godhead essence can even be condensed into weapons or armor."
"Although Godhead Weapons are slightly inferior to Overgod Artifacts in power, they are the only artifacts that can rival them!"
"Thank you, Senior Aier!"
Beirut was overjoyed.
This was truly a massive gift!
An increase in physical strength also provided a significant boost to one's overall combat prowess.
A physical body comparable to a Godhead was enough to increase a living being's material attack power by dozens of times.
If one's physical strength reached the level of an Overgod Artifact, it could even amplify material attack power by nearly a hundredfold.
After Beirut became a Low-level Overgod, a body with the strength of a Godhead would ensure he wouldn't have to worry about his life when fighting Mid-level Overgods.
Super Divine Beasts like the Azure Dragon Overgod Reding or the Black Tortoise Overgod Bowen, whose physical strength had reached the level of an Overgod Artifact, could rival Mid-level Overgods even while they were only Low-level Overgods themselves.
It could be said that physical strength at the level of an Overgod Artifact was only half a step behind a Paragon.
Although Beirut did not know all of this yet, he did know that even if he became a High-God in the future and entered the Divine Plane, he had no idea how much time it would take him to gather this many Godheads.
Indeed, with the help of a senior, the increase in strength was faster than he could have ever dreamed.
"Beirut, do you have any plans for your future cultivation?"
Seeing Beirut put away the Space Ring, Aier nodded slightly.
Since Beirut had accepted his goodwill, the two of them could now be considered to have a "connection."
"Senior, this is what I think."
Beirut did not hesitate much and directly told Aier his intentions: "God-Slaying is my strongest ability, and I want to master it in the shortest time possible."
"Therefore, I will use my Darkness God Clone to comprehend the final Laws and Profound Mysteries of the Darkness Element, striving to ascend to a High-God in the shortest time possible."
