"It's alright, your matters are more important."
Lin En's family somewhat understood his explanation and felt reassured enough to settle down. Being at the Saint realm, they didn't require food or sleep, so they could focus on cultivation.
Lin En advised them to use this millennium to cultivate well. If they felt capable of becoming gods independently, that would be ideal; otherwise, fusing with a godly power later wouldn't be too late.
The advantage of becoming a god externally in the later stages is too great, notably the extra life it grants, a benefit that internal ascension cannot argue against.
"Fate really is mysterious…"
After settling his family in their temporary rooms, Lin En felt both happy and reflective.
In truth, he wasn't entirely unaware of his family still being alive. Through his cultivation and understanding of the rules of fate, especially at the moment he became a Main God, he had a vague insight into the fate lines of those related to him. Detailed knowledge was impossible, but a rough idea was feasible.
Without a sense of urgency or anxiety, Lin En delayed his journey to the Underworld slightly, otherwise, he had planned to send a projection there the second he became a Main God.
But confirming their well-being and successful resurrection, and the emotional stir it caused, was indescribable, facilitating a further advancement in his comprehension of fate.
"This governor of the Azure Mansion…"
Lin En smiled knowingly, materializing a pile of holographic crystals. He randomly picked one up, channeling divine power to activate it, projecting a semi-transparent screen of mist.
"Violet Plane, quickly!"
"Such a masterful use of the rules of death…"
Alyss, humble and without any air of a mansion lord, was careful not to offend someone close to a Main God. At the end of his speech, he handed over a space ring as a small gift, "A little token, nothing much."
Buzz!
Alyss then returned to Hell, a smile on his lips, his heart burning with passion. If he could use this opportunity to connect with a Main God, any price would be worth it!
He didn't hope for anything else, just to spread the word that he was working for a Main God!
He glanced at the red-haired woman standing beside him.
Buzz…
Inside a newly created miniature space.
"Can't see the realm, must be an upper god!"
Another person, equally impressive, concentrated gray death rule powers into a giant skull-like dragon's head, opening its gaping maw like an endless abyss, spewing ghastly flames, tearing a massive rift in space along its path.
The soldier immediately activated the teleportation array.
A hint of pride appeared on her cold face.
"Please let them know, this is just the first batch of goods. There will be more!"
Outside the Violet material plane, within the spatial turbulence.
"Hmm."
In the story of 'Coiling Dragon', Lin Lei's water system deity avatar was inherent, simply unawakened.
He tossed a space ring, urging.
Hannah was shocked, well aware of the astronomical cost for an upper god to enter the material plane – a whopping trillion obsidian stones, a staggering amount.
"You're Yin Weina, right?"
…
A sense of ethereal bliss enveloped the soul, a feeling of liberation and exhilaration.
A little thought would reveal that if there was a way to spontaneously gain a new elemental talent, top Main Gods like Off and Utred wouldn't remain indifferent.
"Sigh… that really hurts…"
"Sir, the collection is complete."
Hell, Blood Peak Continent, Azure Mansion.
The Violet Plane.
Alyss, impatient, waved his hand dismissively. The steward hurriedly left, knowing the time was too short, otherwise collecting a hundred billion soul gold beads wouldn't have been an issue.

Chapter 38: Becoming a God of Death
"It's okay, your situation is more important."
Lin En's family somewhat grasped his explanation, feeling reassured and settled down comfortably. Being at the Saint realm, they didn't require the necessities of life and could focus entirely on cultivation.
Lin En suggested they use the millennium to diligently cultivate, aiming for independent godhood if possible. Otherwise, fusing with a divine power later was an option.
The late-stage benefits of external godhood, especially the extra life it offers, are substantial, a point that internal ascension can't refute.
"Fate is indeed mysterious…"
After arranging rooms for his family, Lin En felt a mix of joy and reflection, pondering over the whims of fate.
Deep down, he wasn't completely unaware of his family's survival. His cultivation and understanding of fate's rules, especially upon becoming a Main God, had given him a vague insight into the fates of those connected to him. While he couldn't know details, he had a general idea.
Without a pressing sense of urgency or anxiety, Lin En had slightly delayed his visit to the Underworld. Otherwise, he would have sent a projection immediately after becoming a Main God.
But the confirmation of their well-being and successful resurrection, and the emotional impact it had, was beyond words, further enhancing his grasp of fate.
"This governor of the Azure Mansion…"
Lin En, with a knowing smile, materialized several holographic crystals, activating one to project a semi-transparent screen.
"Violet Plane, make it quick!"
"Such skillful application of death's rules…"
Alyss, the mansion lord, appeared humble and cautious around someone close to a Main God. As he concluded, he handed over a space ring as a small gift, "Just a token of respect."
Buzz!
Alyss then returned to Hell, a smile on his face, his heart ablaze with excitement. If he could use this opportunity to connect with a Main God, any sacrifice would be worthwhile!
He only wished to spread the news that he was working for a Main God!
He glanced at the red-haired woman beside him.
Buzz…
Within a newly created miniature space.
"Can't determine the realm, must be an upper god!"
Another person, equally impressive, used grey death rule powers to form a massive skull-like dragon's head, spewing ghastly flames that tore a huge rift in space.
The soldier promptly activated the teleportation array.
A hint of pride flickered on her cold face.
"Please inform them, this is just the first batch. There will be more!"
Outside the Violet Plane, amidst spatial chaos.
"Hmm."
In 'Coiling Dragon', Lin Lei's acquisition of a water system deity avatar was inherent, simply dormant.
He tossed a space ring, urging her.
Hannah was astonished, knowing the exorbitant cost for an upper god to enter the material plane – a trillion obsidian stones, an astronomical figure.
"You're Yin Weina, right?"
…
A blissful, ethereal sensation swept over the soul, immensely satisfying.
One would realize, if there was a way to spontaneously gain a new elemental talent, top Main Gods like Off and Utred wouldn't stand idly by.
"Ah… that hurts…"
"Sir, everything has been collected."
Hell, Blood Peak Continent, Azure Mansion.
The Violet Plane.
Alyss, showing impatience, waved his hand dismissively. The steward hurriedly departed, aware that the time was too short to collect a hundred billion soul gold beads.
As time slowly advanced...
A figure erupted in towering flames, blazing like a scorching sun, wielding a crimson battle sword that unleashed explosive shockwaves. The fabric of Hell's space began to crack under the immense force.
To increase efficiency, Lin En used his willpower to absorb the soul gold beads, rapidly refining the abundant golden mist energy.
His tone was calm and slightly warmer than before, considering he was dealing with the death sovereign's personal maid, a deity not to be treated lightly.
He felt a mix of relief and satisfaction. It was common to have deity avatars in two elements, but three was rare, four extremely rare, and five nearly unheard of.
Seven-star demons!
At the planar teleportation array.
"Never mind, let's send it to the Main God first."
"Main God…"
Lin En fully embraced the understanding of death's rules in his mind, not holding back any longer. He was no longer as restricted as before and wasn't concerned about the soul-tearing effects.
Above a desolate, blood-red valley, chilling winds swirled dust and sand. Two godly beings, both adorned with demon badges, stood in confrontation, soon erupting into a fierce clash.
The Main God had urged haste that day.
Alyss diligently gathered soul gold beads and other resources, not daring any delay.
Salina knelt on the ground, her head deeply bowed.
On the desolate icy plains, a black light from Hell emerged, emitting a faint aura of destruction.
"Is this all there is!"
"Please, sir."
Lin En instructed, "Call everyone here."
"Thank you, Main God!"
The steward, with a low bow, expressed his nervousness, "Sir, it was challenging to gather these soul gold beads, as they are the most sought-after and scarce commodity in Hell. This is the limit for such a short time."
Alyss stepped into the light and disappeared.
Salina returned to the Divine Realm, delivering the space ring to Lin En's Saint realm true self and relayed Alyss's message, including the bribe.
Lin En distributed the resources, explaining their effects. Everyone eagerly returned to their cultivation, aspiring to ascend to godhood.
Alyss breathed a sigh of relief and hurried away.
Day by day, time passed...
Vast amounts of golden soul energy flowed like an ocean, healing his soul and promoting growth. It was an incredibly comfortable process!
Alyss received a space ring filled with billions of soul gold beads and cultivation aids, almost bursting at the seams.
"These are soul gold beads…"
Lin En understood their intentions and wasn't bothered. To Salina, he said, "Since he gave it to you, keep it."
Lin En, sitting cross-legged, began absorbing the golden soul energy from the beads, finding it much smoother than refining amethyst.
Lin En turned to the respectful black-eyed, silver-haired woman beside him, asking gently.
Salina glanced at him, saying, "You're the governor of the Azure Mansion, right? The Main God asked me to wait for you. Just hand me the items."
Alyss scolded, his face dark with displeasure.
While his thoughts turned, feeling his weakened soul, Lin En quickly replenished it with soul gold beads!
Observing the upper god with a demon badge, the stationed Blood Peak soldiers meticulously inspected the space ring.
A golden-haired man in a purple robe with a demon badge appeared as the black light faded.
Salina thought, "Just as I expected!"
She knew the Main God's thoughts, and speaking out was the correct decision. The Main God wouldn't care about such trivial matters, and hiding them would have been foolish.
The laws of the world descended, and Lin En faced another choice – external godhood. Painful, but this was the final step!
In this world, one's inborn cultivation talent is fixed, almost impossible to change later.
The other person seemed startled, not expecting the Main God to speak to them directly. They responded excitedly yet nervously, "Yes… yes, of course."
Mountains of obsidian stones – a trillion in number!
Lin En managed his joy and began creating a fate rule plane using his Main God power.
Countless pale forces of the destiny Main God converged like a vast sea, churning huge waves, accumulating into a massive sphere.
Soon, Lin En's family members gathered together.
In the governor's mansion.
Lin En took a deep breath, his face twisted in pain, resembling a mask of agony.
Salina smiled knowingly, discreetly storing the items, nodding satisfactorily, "Okay, you're a good person. I'll pass your message to the Main God."
Lin En spoke softly, "Don't be nervous. Help my family arrange some cultivation resources…"
After leaving the mansion, Alyss flew away at full speed…
Lin En performed a blood oath on the space ring, pleased with the massive quantity of soul gold beads inside.
The planar guardian Hannah squinted in surprise, murmuring, "Hmm, someone from Hell is here!"
Lin En watched intently, quickly immersing himself in the understanding of death's rules.
He watched each hologram hundreds of times before switching to another.
These battle holograms involving seven-star demons were rare resources in Hell, coveted by ordinary upper gods.
Lin En even discovered some cultivation notes of seven-star demon level beings in the ring, although only three – for wind, water, and death systems.
"Not bad at all, the governor of the Azure Mansion is quite shrewd. Spending just a drop of destiny Main God power was well worth it!"
Lin En often marveled at the advantage of being a Main God in one system – nearly unlimited resources and sheer bliss!
A mere word from him could make even a Shura level powerhouse diligently act, and all he needed to give in return was a tiny, almost negligible amount of Main God power.
