The extent of the spatial turbulence was immense, far surpassing the collective vastness of the four Supreme Planes, the seven Elemental God Planes, and the myriad material planes.
In this endless, boundless turbulence, anything could vanish in a blink, swept away to an unknown location, making any search more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack.
"This is the power of will!"
Lin En distinctly felt a complete control over the surrounding space, like an enhanced version of a divine domain. This willpower could intimidate and weaken enemies and amplify his own strengths. Under the Principal Gods, all others were mere ants.
Even the mightiest god-level beings couldn't surpass the weakest Principal God!
His Water and Dark Systems also received a boost from the willpower within the Principal Godhood, achieving approximately 0.8 of the complete willpower level.
"Swoosh... Swoosh..."
Two striking figures approached swiftly.
The red-haired woman, Selina, in a radiant water-red dress, and the silver-haired Kesha in a moon-white gown adorned with purple yan flowers and a milky white undershirt.
"My lord..."
In Hell, one of the four Supreme Planes, a green-haired woman in a simple yellow dress meditated within a humble two-story building. She was surrounded by a faint aura of destruction, signifying her cultivation in these rules.
"I'm fine."
This wasn't the future era of Beirut, where the Principal Godhoods had amassed vast faith oceans through endless religious wars. The skirmishes between the Natural and Dark Churches were insignificant in comparison.
Even silencing her now would be pointless, as his assimilation of a Principal Godhood was bound to come to light.
So why not just openly admit it?
Aisha, shocked, could hardly believe it was Lin En's voice, wondering how he had become so powerful so suddenly.
We had planned to face the imminent upper-realm demons together, yet in a blink, Lin En had ascended to a Principal God!
Stopped by haughty guards, Aisha, anxious to see the elder, urgently reported her suspicion of encountering a newly born Principal God.
As a member of the Four Divine Beasts family, she could discern that even their seven-star demon elders paled in comparison to Lin En.
She wasn't particularly against the Dark Church, and having obtained a Principal Godhood was already a massive stroke of luck, so she wouldn't expect too much more.
In fact, Lin En also had the Dark System...
"Halt! Who allowed you to intrude upon the elder's residence without permission!"
Lin En, having assimilated the Principal Godhood, understood that the contained faith, though substantial, was not as immense as later described, more akin to a large river.
Only after becoming a Principal God could one truly grasp the staggering difference between god-level and Principal God.
Aisha, stunned, contemplated an incredible possibility, trembling at the thought.
A god-level being couldn't possibly achieve such a drastic power surge in such a short time. Even if Lin En became a higher god and fused four mysteries, the aura he emitted was on an entirely different level.
"Wait... could it be..."
The two women, Selina and Kesha, hesitated, having rushed over worried about any issues at the center of the recent anomaly.
Lin En chose to be straightforward, rejecting all unnecessary subterfuge.
He had no interest in playing games of disguise with his power. These people weren't worthy of prompting him to hide his strength, and the secret wouldn't last long anyway. Why not just openly acknowledge it?
Buzz! Buzz!
The patrol guards were visibly shaken, their composure disrupted by Lin En's summons. Swiftly, one of them urged Aisha to follow, as Lin En had something critical to address.
Lin En, with a smile, had already scanned the entire Violet Material Plane with his Principal God power, holding everything, including Aisha's reactions, within his grasp.
At the Natural Church.
Lin En transmitted a message, emitting a sliver of his Principal God aura. All god-level beings listened, their souls trembling, unable to resist, only feeling deep fear.
Aisha, Gino, Parker, and a Plane Guardian named Hannah knelt down, except for Scott, whom Lin En had exempted from formalities. Even he was bewildered and disoriented.
Scott recalled Aisha mentioning her Holy Realm main body in the main branch of Hell. Given her awareness, she would've reported such a major anomaly to her family.
On the Violet Material Plane.
"All god-level beings of the Violet Plane, come to the Land of the Heavenly God!"
Parker, now a mid-level Fire God, was stunned! He had once fancied challenging Lin En but was now faced with a narrative twist that left him reeling.
"I give the Natural and Dark Churches ten days to leave the Violet Material Plane, or face annihilation!"
In the Tianji Mountains' Blue Mansion.
"Aisha Redding, seeking an audience with Elder Akhs!"
Elsewhere.
Lin En's uncompromising decree, "None may rest beside my couch!" He had resolved to cleanse his material plane upon becoming a Principal God, not allowing any other Principal God's influence in his realm.
The world was now settled, the skies and seas open to all!
In the Four Divine Beasts family, the hierarchy was strict and clear-cut. Any deviation from the norms without official summons was not permitted. Even the daily movements of ordinary clan members were regulated.
All god-level beings, including the Plane Guardians, had gathered in the Land of the Heavenly God, their faces a mix of bewilderment and shock.
Near the Qinglong Redding family's branch, houses clustered densely like stars, forming a city-like population.
Suddenly, Aisha's eyes snapped open, filled with terror and panic. She stood up hastily and rushed out, her lower god incarnation of destruction moving outside, crossing the mountain ridges swiftly to reach a castle built on a dragon-head-shaped peak.
A guard shouted sternly, his face as cold as iron.
"I am now a Principal God!"
The situation was bewildering!
With her new status as a Principal God, Aisha experienced a flood of complex emotions.
Gino, meanwhile, was engulfed in relentless fear.
The Natural Church was no longer safe!
The Church's foundation was built on the names of the Four Divine Beasts Principal Gods. The majority of faith contributed to the Natural Church went to these four, not equally to the elemental gods.
Lin En, for his part, had established himself as "Heavenly God Lin En." The majority of the faith from his followers was his alone, only a fraction shared with the destiny system.
