"This… is the power of a Main God!"
Ales gazed in awe at the pale white droplet before him. Heeding the Main God's voice, he reverently affirmed, "As you command, Main God!"
He then carefully secured the Main God's power.
"Once collected, send them to a material plane known as Violet."
Lin En's instructions came through a spiritual link, detailing the delivery process.
As a Main God, he wasn't expected to personally scour the depths of Hell for items. Such mundane tasks were easily delegated to any lesser deity.
Elsewhere…
"A strange Main God from the destiny system."
"A new Main God has emerged."
"Yet another Main God makes their entrance."
Lin En quickly grasped the situation, understanding the four beast gods hadn't spread word of his ascension yet. It was understandable, given the brief time elapsed.
Word had spread far and wide, not just in Hell but also in Heaven, the Underworld, the Supreme Plane of Life, and the seven elemental godly realms. Main Gods from all corners were converging on the Mountain of Divine Sacrifice, creating a bustling scene.
Many Main Gods, not exactly on friendly terms, managed to avoid conflict upon meeting. Expecting them to coexist peacefully was a tall order. Their presence was merely to acquaint themselves with the new mid-tier Main God of destiny.
"Ah, newly ascended to Main Godhood, there are crucial things you must be briefed on to dodge unnecessary complications."
Lin En played the role of the uninformed, eagerly soaking in information, despite knowing most of it already. Sometimes, appearances had to be maintained.
"I didn't expect your arrival in Hell so soon."
This conversation seemed like an open channel dialogue…
The speaker was a woman with luxurious, soft red hair, her face a blend of elegance and grace, clad in purple adorned with intertwining vines and silver serpent patterns.
Shortly after settling down, the projections of other Main Gods began to materialize.
"To maintain order among Main Gods, we, the rulers, have agreed that high-tier Main Gods cannot kill lower-tier ones without cause. Violators will face the collective wrath of all Main Gods!"
Lin En greeted each, exchanging formal courtesies.
From the Blood Peak, Pash, a lower-tier Main God of destruction.
The Violet Realm.
Clark of Earth, Gels of Fire, Leo of Water, Hans of Wind, Augustus of Light, Justin of Darkness, and Hulrei of Thunder.
This assembly was noted by many Main Gods.
Redding mused, "Let it be. He's just a mid-tier Main God. We, the four beast gods, are after the upper-tier Main God power. Wasting our one shot on him isn't worth it."
For Main Gods exclusively.
Off added, "About Main God weapons, given their potency for deities, to prevent an imbalance, only one weapon can be bestowed to direct descendants, one to a spouse, or to a Main God messenger. There's less constraint on Main God powers, but avoid excessive generosity!"
"Main God status is based on strength. Take Teresia, for instance. Though a lower-tier Main God, her prowess rivals a mid-tier one due to her Great Perfection status, thus she's classified as mid-tier. Unjustified slaying of lower-tier Main Gods is forbidden."
Utred, his tone emotionless and detached, didn't even glance at Lin En before departing.
Lin En learned her name for the first time.
His projection, a destiny Main God cloaked in a white and gold robe, appeared serene, a faint smile on his lips. Seconds later, the human incarnations of the four beast gods materialized before him.
Bowen remarked, "Smart kid, not sending his Main God projection to Hell. Otherwise, our four beast god family could've gained a mid-tier Main God."
Redding, both surprised and welcoming, created a set of furniture with a wave of his Main God power, inviting them to sit. The tiger, phoenix, and tortoise gods exchanged looks of slight regret.
Lin En gracefully declined the four beast gods' hospitality, dissolving his projection.
On the peak of Dragon Ridge in the Mountain of Divine Sacrifice.
"It's the Main God power from Korsi's fall. This one's luck is truly extraordinary."
As the Main Gods dispersed, the area grew quiet, leaving only the four beast gods with Lin En.
Lin En nodded, acknowledging, "Understood."
Lin En's presence was unmistakable in Hell, his Main God power triggering instant responses from other Main Gods via private soul communications.
Erus noted, "This is expected. His clever concealment of his destiny avatar in the material realm shows he's cautious about us."
Observing this, the other Main Gods began to depart, their expressions chilly, a reflection of the tense climate amidst the faith wars, where any Main God could fall at any moment.
Lin En noted that most Main Gods, like him, sent only projections, with a few Hell Main Gods appearing in person.
A brief conversation later, the imposing visage of the destiny Main God faded away.
"Wow, to find a Main God power in the material plane – your luck is extraordinary."
Lin En's water deity avatar activated a transdimensional portal, instructing the guardian Hannah, "Head to the Underworld."
There were also some familiar mid and lower-tier Main Gods from the stories of old.
"The four beast gods are a unique group…"
"For Main God messengers, lower-tier Main Gods get two slots, mid-tier four, and upper-tier eight. Choose your envoys thoughtfully."
"Alright, that's enough for now."
No one dared challenge this, given that currently, only four Great Perfection Main Gods existed!
The revered sovereigns of destruction, destiny, life, and Teresia.
Off's tone grew firmer.
Such audacity from a lower-tier Main God…
Death Sovereign - Saya.
Off illustrated his point, indicating a hawk-nosed, silver-haired youth, his face a mask of cold arrogance, his glance at Lin En, a mid-tier Main God, tinged with disdain.
"I must leave for other matters. We'll speak another time."
"Be wary of the four beast gods and guard your Main God power closely."
Destruction's mid-tier Main God, Amethyst sovereign Emalise.
Destiny sovereign Off, with his white hair and robes, had an air of benevolence, contrasting sharply with the subtly menacing light sovereign beside him, their personalities distinctly different.
A cool female voice echoed in Lin En's mind as he subtly watched the death sovereign depart nonchalantly.
"I am a Main God born of the material plane…"
"Additionally, you have a territory in Heaven awaiting your claim, a rightful possession of yours."
Nemo remarked, "Now that the other Main Gods are aware, our chance to act is likely gone."
Take, for instance, Teresia, a Great Perfection lower-tier wind deity.
Destruction sovereign Utred, destiny sovereign Off, death sovereign Saya, life sovereign Vivian.
He had already planned for this; upon ascending to Main Godhood, a pressing task awaited.
"Yes, Main God."
Hannah responded with a bow.
As a grey glow enveloped him, Lin En's water avatar vanished, teleported away.
