Dunnington noticed Andrew's expression and felt a sense of pride. Although at his level, he no longer cared about the opinions of others, it still depended on the person. Even Dunnington was secretly pleased to be revered by a genius like Andrew.
In his eyes, Andrew, who had cultivated to the Peak Asura in just over a thousand years, definitely had the potential to become Paragon. Not only that, he had a greater chance of becoming Paragon than many others.
Dunnington would also be willing to befriend someone like that.
Besides, it was Beirut who made the request, so Dunnington had to give him face. Others might not know Beirut's status Sovereign, but Dunnington certainly did.
Dunnington had no choice but to do the deal of making the Sovereign owe him a favor.
Not only that, Dunnington thought even further. He knew that Beirut still possessed three Sovereign Spark Sovereign Spark, which Beirut himself could not use. Since he couldn't use them himself, he would definitely give them to others.
For whom?
Since these Sovereign Spark were seized from the Radiant Sovereign, anyone who uses them will offend the Radiant Sovereign. Offending Augusta will only lead to fleeing to the Material Plane.
Beirut's goal is to unite more forces to fight against Augusta, so he will never give the Sovereign Spark to anyone outside the Yulan Continent plane.
Dunnington looked at Andrew in front of him, deep in thought. He had done his research; Andrew came from the Yulan Continent plane, possessed three Divine Clone —water, fire, and thunder—and was highly talented. From any perspective, he was the perfect candidate for Beirut.
Thinking of this, Dunnington laughed inwardly. Now, two Sovereign owe me favors. This deal is incredibly profitable!
Andrew spent a full century in the Eternal City in order to learn the arts of the soul from Dunnington.
A century later, Dunnington said expressionlessly, "I have taught you everything I could. Now, you may leave."
Andrew smiled slightly, bowed deeply to Dunnington, and left without looking back.
Watching his retreating figure, Dunnington's expression stiffened slightly. He admitted that he was truly jealous of Andrew.
"How can there be such a genius in this world? In just a hundred years, his soul cultivation has reached such a level. Even with Three-element Soul Mutation, it shouldn't be like this. I've met Mosi from Miluo Island; his soul is much stronger than that of an ordinary Commander, but even without reaching the Paragon, he's definitely no match for Andrew."
Dunnington thought of himself; he was among the first life forms born in the Infernal Realm, second only to Uhtred in terms of antiquity. Moreover, he was also a super Divine Beast, the Thousand-Headed Serpent. The Thousand-Headed Serpent possessed a special soul talent, capable of splitting souls and then merging them into one to strengthen the soul. Otherwise, Dunnington's soul mastery wouldn't be so high.
Dunnington once believed that no divine Divine Beast could rival the Thousand-Headed Serpent in terms of control over the soul. But today, he began to doubt it, because Andrew's performance was simply too monstrous.
Regardless of Dunnington's thoughts, Andrew was unusually satisfied.
Over the past century, he has followed Dunnington in studying the soul, not only making up for his weak foundation but also exploring his soul's potential more deeply. Now, he can absorb Soul Stone ten times faster than before, and his soul power has doubled.
Putting everything else aside, just considering the distance his divine sense could spread, it reached 240,000 li!
"No wonder he's Dunnington; his mastery of the soul is truly terrifying!" Andrew recalled Dunnington's teachings, and a feeling of admiration welled up within him. At the same time, he thought of something else.
" Dunnington said Beirut wants me to return to the Yulan Continent. Does that mean he's going to give me the Sovereign Spark now?"
The thought of the Sovereign Spark stirred a surge of emotion within Andrew. Faced with such a treasure, no one could remain calm. However, Andrew didn't actually want to become Sovereign so soon. He wanted to wait until he had fused " Shattering " and " Profound Mystery of Roundness " before becoming Sovereign.
He wants to become one of the three Sovereign!
Beirut possesses three elemental Sovereign Spark: water, fire, and earth. According to Beirut's plan, the Fire Element Sovereign Spark was intended for Bluefire, leaving him with only the Water Element Water Sovereign Spark one to choose from. However, Andrew could not be satisfied with just one water elemental deity.
Merging with Sovereign Spark means standing in opposition to Augusta, and the narrow-minded Augusta will never let go of the Sovereign of the Yulan lineage. Therefore, merging with only one Sovereign Spark is tantamount to imprisoning oneself in the prison of the Yulan Continent.
Now Andrew's task is to demonstrate his worth in order to persuade Beirut to also grant him the Fire Element Sovereign Spark.
Once Andrew obtains the Fire Element Sovereign Spark, with his ability to Soul Mutation, he can easily kill a Lower Sovereign Lightning Element, Lower Sovereign him to obtain a third Sovereign Spark. At that point, becoming a three-elemental Sovereign, if Andrew also acquires the Overgod Artifact, Augusta will be powerless against him.
However, considering that killing is forbidden among the Sovereign, it wouldn't be easy for Andrew to obtain a third Sovereign Spark. But this didn't deter him; he already had a plan in mind.
This plan originates from the original book, where Linley kills Teresia because the two were enemies before Linley became Sovereign. Therefore, Andrew plans to choose a Lower Sovereign of the Lightning Element and make an enemy of him, so that he can take revenge openly after becoming Sovereign.
How to do it is another story.
Leaving the Eternal City, Andrew and Han Yue headed west. This time, Andrew's destination was Miluo Island in Mosi.
When Andrew passed by Miluo Island last time, he didn't stop. At that time, the difference in strength between him and Mosi was too great, and he was worried that the other party would turn against him or even control him if he found out about his Three-element Soul Mutation. In fact, Andrew really wanted to have a conversation with Mosi. As the only two Three-Element Soul Mutator in countless planes, their conversation would definitely spark some interesting ideas.
The Metallic Lifeform sped westward, and soon crossed the Bifu Continent, entering the Star Mist Sea.
Following the map, Andrew found Miluo Island without any trouble.
Outside Miluo Island, one Metallic Lifeform after another came and went, creating quite a lively scene.
Upon arriving on the island, Andrew also began to admire Mosi. To be able to manage an island city so successfully, Mosi's management skills were as terrifying as his strength.
"Let's go, Yue'er, we'll be staying here for a while." Andrew led Han Yue onto Miluo Island.
Han Yue looked around and smiled, "Great! I think this place is very nice."
Miluo Island spans hundreds of thousands of miles and is heavily guarded, making it generally safe. However, Andrew remained by Han Yue's side. He knew that this place was unlike those Sovereign cities, where killing was permitted under certain circumstances.
Miluo Island is enormous, many times larger than the Yulan Continent. It's bustling with people, and the variety of exotic goods is dazzling. Even after more than two months of travel, Han Yue still seems incredibly enthusiastic.
Andrew was anxious to see Mosi, but he didn't want to disturb Han Yue's enjoyment of the trip, so he quietly left behind his Lightning Divine Clone, water-elemental and fire-elemental Divine Clone, and his main body to fly directly to West Island.
Andrew made no attempt to conceal his presence along the way, and soon he alerted the island's guards.
"Who dares to trespass on Miluo Island!" West Island is a forbidden area of Miluo Island, with many troops guarding its perimeter. Upon seeing Andrew's arrival, dozens of squads of nearly ten thousand soldiers took to the air and blocked his way.
"What a formidable island-guarding army! Their momentum surpasses even that of my Bloodflame Prefecture's soldiers." Seeing their reaction, Andrew admitted that these troops were indeed elite.
However, he didn't take even the most elite troops seriously.
"Get out of the way!" Andrew shouted softly, and ripples spread out from him. Any taxi drivers caught in the ripples fell down in a daze, without any power to resist.
"What a terrifying person!" The commotion was quickly noticed by people elsewhere, and everyone looked at Andrew's retreating figure with fear.
The five major families on Miluo Island reacted quickly.
Seven or eight red figures soared into the sky, blocking Andrew.
"Ah, it's the red elders of the Bagshaw Clan! Every red elder is Seven-Star Fiend!" Someone below recognized these people and immediately exclaimed.
Andrew's gaze swept over the eight people, sending chills down their spines.
"Make way." Andrew was there to exchange Mosi and didn't want things to get too awkward.
The eight Seven-Star Fiend looked at each other, but in the end, they still didn't move aside.
They were controlled by Mosi, and everything they did was for the benefit of the Bagshaw Clan. Mosi had given orders that no one was allowed to enter the forbidden area of West Island. Although these people feared Andrew's strength, they could not let him pass.
It must be said that Mosi's Soul Control is very powerful.
Andrew sighed helplessly, feeling sorry for them. They had worked so hard for countless years to become the Seven-Star Fiend, only to end up as someone else's slaves and puppets. It was indeed a tragic ending.
Too lazy to get entangled with them, Andrew swayed and passed through the crowd. When Andrew entered the West Island, they remained motionless like puppets.
"Ah!" the spectators below exclaimed in surprise, but no one could understand why.
Soon, a long rainbow appeared in the northwest.
"Where are the people who forced their way into West Island?" A tall figure with long red hair appeared.
"Ah?" At this moment, the eight red-robed elders finally regained their senses. Upon seeing the figure before them, they quickly bowed and greeted him, "Clan Chief!"
