Leylin knew that the Astral Plane wasn't the most powerful Plane in the wider Cosmos; there existed many other powerful places within their Universe, and the Astral Plane that contained only the World of Gods and Magus World was a small player on the grander scale.
So, technically speaking, Leylin was pretty much wary of everyone from more powerful Worlds, and it was for a very good reason at that. Nobody could know that if there won't be more and more people coming from the more advanced Planes.
"I will hold you at that... when exactly will you arrive at the World of Gods?"
Leylin asked as he looked at the projection of Gu Long through the Tarot Card.
"Four days... four days... there are still some things that we need to take care of with my newest associate, so only after that will we return."
Leylin nodded his head, hearing that, because he was already preparing everything within the World of Gods and especially on the Debanks Islands and Second Layer of the Nine Hells of the Baator, Dis.
"Head directly to the Debanks Islands; during the time you were gone, the consolidation of the Holy Nāga Empire has consolidated the rule over the place and even managed to establish a permanent portal with the Dis."
The Holy Nāga Empire was the starting point of their very own conquest of the other Layers of the Nine Hells of the Baator because it would link itself together with Dis, which was already under Leylin's control and allow for a steady flow of high-ranking Professionals.
The Church of the Heavenly Serpent has been cultivating a lot of high-ranking Professionals, be it Legendary-level ones or High-Ranking Legendary Professionals, especially since they had a huge number of Devil Hunters on their side.
This would prove essential in their war against the rest of the Baator.
"As you wish... have you gathered enough information about the Archdevils and their strength? We need to strike and kill them all in one swift manner, or else; their retaliation would be a pain in the ass to deal with, especially Asmodeus."
That was something that Leylin wholeheartedly agreed on with Gu Long because, according to the initial plans, they were to strike at the Archdevils and take at least several Layers of the Nine Hells of the Baator.
"Yes... they are scheming something and are preparing for the war... war of attrition, may I say; it seems that somebody from the Gods tipped them about the dangers that I represent to them and they are answering adequately."
Hearing that, even Gu Long was surprised to hear that the ever-arrogant Gods would lower themselves to work together with the Devils of the Nine Hells of the Baator, this was certainly out of their expectations.
And the consequences, while not really severe, were still problematic enough for their plans.
"Unexpected complication, but nothing that we can't deal with."
Gu Long stayed silent for a short time before he remarked the statement was something that Leylin agreed with. While the meddling of the Gods presented something that complicated things a bit, it wasn't anything severe.
"Indeed..."
When Gu Long cut the connection, Leylin returned to his matters, as he had many things to prepare for the upcoming endeavors within the World of Gods and his Apotheosis within the World of Gods.
After the Final War between the World of Gods and Magus World began, it would be the time, for his True Body to assimilate the Clone Body that was within the World of Gods.
In this way, he calculated, that he would be able to break through the Rank 8 Law God rather easily and even boost up his foundation. Naturally, this would depend mainly on the strength of the Clone Body within the World of Gods.
Due to that, Leylin wanted to ensure that his Clone Body got as strong as possible because it would be crucial for his future advancements.

Around the same time, Abyss.
Gu Long and Iggwilv the Witch Queen who already reached the start of the Law Mage of her world after she obtained the Seed of the First Flame, that Gu Long helped her to obtain.
Afterward, she was able to assimilate the Seed of the First Flame into her very own soul and transform her Demiplane into the greater realm, and subsequently ascend to the Beings of Law.
"Do you want to do something or can we already depart for the World of Gods?"
The Dragon Prince asked the Witch Queen who was busy reading some of the Demonic Tomes on their Abyssal Magic or whatever, it was something that was part of their loot from the last place that they raided.
After Iggwilv reached the Being of Law, her Magical Abilities reached really tremendous degrees, especially when it came to her control over the Magic Rules, she was sable to escape even from far more powerful beings than she was.
Gu Long was using this to his advantage when he suggested that they should raid some Demon Clastles in the layers of the Abyss because for sure they would have some nice treasures.
And his ideas were indeed great because they raided several prominent places that belonged to the powerful Demons and they managed to obtain a lot of treasures, especially for Iggwilv because they obtained a lot of Magic Tomes and Grimoires.
"Only the library that belonged to one of the more powerful Demon Lords somewhere within the Abyss. It should not be protected, and we can raid the content; there should be some rare Magic Tomes and Grimoires that the Demon Lord collected if nothing more than just fun."
Iggwilv said almost immediately because she wanted to make use of this opportunity to the fullest, as it was a one-time opportunity to increase her collection of rare books and Grimoires.
Especially those who were in her specialty of Demonology.
"As you wish, but we should be fast; I need to return to the World of Gods as soon as possible; there were some minor complications in the future plans."
