Jason is in the underground cavern of Dragonblood Castle.
It is said that this place was specially dug out as a refuge when Dragonblood Castle was attacked by powerful beings from the Gebados Plane, so that those below the Saint-level would be spared from the effects of battles between powerful beings.
Right now, Jason is baptizing the Saint-level of the Four Ultimate Warrior Clans.
Because of Jason's influence, none of the Four Ultimate Warrior Clans Refine Divine Spark yet. Not long after Linley and the others left, Odin escaped from the Gebados Plane, so no one has participated in the Necropolis of the Gods for thousands of years, and naturally no Divine Spark has flowed out.
"Can this really make them become gods on their own?" Linley's fourth brother, Reynolds, looked at the four baptismal pools in front of him, somewhat incredulous.
Just like in the original story, Reynolds also broke through to godhood under immense pressure; as for Linley's other two brothers, Yale and George, they both died in the disaster brought by Odin, and the plot was not much different from the original story; the only change was Delia's Dixie, who survived because of Doehring Cowart's timely evacuation, and is said to be only one step away from Deity-level.
"This world is fair to every living being, but it is very unfair at certain stages. Before awakening their bloodlines, the members of the Four Divine Beasts Clan even find it difficult to break through to the Saint-level Realm, but as long as they find the right method, they can smoothly reach the Deity-level." Jason explained to the visitors around him.
Jason thought of the Azure Dragon Clan Chief. Judging from the Chief's transformation, his true form was also human, so he must be a descendant of Azure Dragon and a human. Before the Four Divine Beasts developed the "Dragonblood Secret Manual," many direct descendants of the Azure Dragon probably died of old age because they couldn't break through to the Saint-level; and before the Ancestral Shrine Baptism appeared, many Dragonblood Warrior were also stuck in the Saint-level and couldn't make any progress.
However, these are all ancient events from the beginning of time, and are no longer verifiable.
As the will of heaven and earth descended, a member of the White Tiger Clan's Saint-level became the first to ascend to godhood.
The original work provides little description of the other three families among the Four Divine Beasts Clan. This is the first time Jason has witnessed the White Tiger Clan's innate divine ability, "Tiger Roar." It seems to be a spatial ability, but due to the environment, Jason is hesitant to try it out now.
"It really is possible to become a god!" Dixie exclaimed, as he was also present, representing the Saint-level Limit.
"It's Gorgo," Doehring Cowart said. "He was previously the most likely of the Four Ultimate Warrior Clans on the continent to achieve godhood independently. He possesses a high affinity for Darkness Element and has exceptional talent."
Jason smiled and said, "The earlier the baptism is completed, the weaker the bloodline concentration. But this is not absolutely related to talent. Bloodline is only one aspect of talent. There are two situations in which the offspring of divine beasts and humans will have extremely high affinity."
One type has an extremely high bloodline concentration, where talent manifests even without further refinement; the other type has an extremely low bloodline concentration, where the bloodline exerts little suppression on individual talent. This Gorgo is clearly the second type.
While Gorgo was still immersed in the joy of becoming a god, Jason reminded him, "Come out first, don't disturb the others in the pool."
The handsome man, unable to conceal his arrogance, flew out of the baptismal pool with a hint of dissatisfaction.
Jason had no interest in arguing with him. The entire Four Divine Beasts Clan had been forced to retreat to a corner after being defeated. A Lowgod would behave himself once he arrived in the Infernal Realm.
The baptisms were completed over two days.
The last of the four Barker brothers, from the Undying Warrior Family, to achieve godhood were able to transform without bloodline activation. Their bloodline purity was probably no weaker than that of Wharton, and they possessed the talent to challenge the Seven Star Fiend. Unfortunately, one of the five brothers died in battle in their early years.
Slightly earlier than them were Hogg and Wharton's sons, whose bloodline purity was at the level of fifth or sixth generation disciples; as for Linley's two children, they were slightly inferior, as Linley had not yet absorbed the drop of Azure Dragon's essence blood when they were born, and their bloodline purity was a level lower than Wharton's.
As for the members of the Tiger-Striped Warrior and Purple Flame Warrior Clan, their bloodlines are generally inferior to those of the other two families.
"Jason, Lord Jason."
The early members of the Four Directions Knight Order who followed Jason still feel grateful to Jason. They had all experienced the dark years when they were oppressed by the two major churches and remembered Jason's kindness. As for the new generation, their respect for Jason was only superficial, and they were even quite arrogant towards Jason because they had just broken through to godhood.
"Forget it. This ancestral baptism method wasn't created by me. A certain lord asked me to pass it on. He'll see you when the time is right." Jason didn't reveal Beirut's information. "Besides, I have urgent business to attend to this time, so I won't be able to guide you to the Infernal Realm. Of course, you've just broken through, so it's indeed not suitable for you to go to the Infernal Realm immediately. It's better to consolidate your strength first, and it would be best to try to return to the family after reaching the Midgod."
Divine beasts and bloodline breakthroughs basically grant the complete comprehension of the lowest level of "Elemental Essence" in the profound Laws of Heaven and Earth of Profound Mysteries and earth, leading to godhood. The Four Edicts are also passively comprehended, but only a very weak portion of them.
If the true nature of the divine beast is not used, the strength of its Divine Clone, which has just broken through to godhood, is probably only about the same as that of Deity-level who has refined Lowgod Spark.
"May I ask, Lord Jason, where in the Infernal Realm is our Four Divine Beasts Clan located?" someone in the crowd asked.
"Silence!" Hogg turned and berated the "young man."
Several senior members of the Four Divine Beasts Clan also glared angrily.
Jason waved his hand. "Forget it, this is a map of the Infernal Realm. Your Four Divine Beasts Clan is currently in the Skyrite Mountains of the Indigo Prefecture on the Blood Peak Continent. If you really want to go, remember to be careful; the Four Divine Beasts Clan currently has quite a few enemies."
More than a hundred Lowgod roamed freely across the Yulan Continent, but in the Infernal Realm, they couldn't even make a ripple.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Jason handed the map to Hogg.
Jason has completely left the Yulan Continent, and this time all his clones have gone to the Infernal Realm.
Jason fused three drops of each of the Four Divine Beasts Essence Blood, and returned the remaining Four Divine Beasts Essence Blood to Beirut for research purposes. Beirut, of course, would not stop Jason from doing so.
"Midgod! Rare indeed. Stand still over there!" The guards around the teleportation array remained as "dutiful" as ever.
Jason did not resist and obediently stood in the crowd.
"I've already used dimensional teleportation three times; let's just go through the process again this time," Jason thought to himself.
His true form absorbed the Four Divine Beasts Essence Blood and naturally fused with the Water Sovereign Power, making it comparable in strength to a top-grade Highgod Artifact.
Jason discovered that only the Azure Dragon's essence blood possessed the ability to absorb the Sovereign’s Might, while the other three Sovereign did not have this ability. After communicating with Beirut, he speculated that this secret technique might not have been created by the Four Divine Beasts themselves, but rather came from another Sovereign. Correspondingly, that Sovereign only allowed the Azure Dragon to use it, while the other three Sovereign did not obtain it.
Now, his main body, his Water Clone, and his Soul Defense Divine Artifact have all reached the strength of a typical Seven Star Fiend, equivalent to Linley after he created "Voidwave Sword".
As for the Earth Element Clone, it only gained a basic understanding of Profound Mysteries profound mysteries of the "Earth Element" after being baptized by its bloodline. Its strength is still weak, but fortunately, its affinity is not low. As long as it cultivates slowly, it should be able to reach the Highgod.
Jason followed the group onto the Metallic Airship.
"The markings on the Metallic Airship say ' Bifu Continent,' thankfully, it's not far. Let's keep a low profile and head to Indigo Prefecture first."
"Now that I have Earth Element Clone, it's best to try to maintain the plot. Winning over that old fox Beirut is much harder than winning over Linley. Well, actually, I don't need to act like a babysitter; I just need to make sure that each key event happens."
Regarding Linley's Soul Mutation, it's best if I don't interfere. At most, I can try to ensure that Linley enters the Planar Battlefield at the same time as in the original story. As for the other matter, there's the Overgod Mission. This seems to offer more room for maneuver. Only by obtaining the Overgod Artifact will Linley be besieged by the Sovereign, and only then will he have a chance to obtain a Earth Element Sovereign Spark. I can work on that aspect."
As the Metallic Airship ascended, the Bifu Continent stretched out beneath our feet.
