Chapter 20 - Departure

In Roy's opinion, the gains he made this time were even greater than becoming a Great Perfection himself.

  After sorting out his gains, Roy walked out of the palace and headed towards the City Lord's Mansion in Sanhe City.

  "Roy, didn't you say before that it would take at least hundreds of thousands of years to promote to a divine position? How did you promote in just over ten thousand years?"

  As soon as Roy arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, Laurent couldn't wait to grab Roy's hand and ask.

  "Lord Laurent, I didn't plan for this either."

  Roy shrugged and smiled bitterly, "The soul golden beads given to me by Vice City Lord Shelley were just too effective. I absorbed too many of them at once, and the insights of these laws just poured into my soul uncontrollably."

  If other people heard Roy saying this, they would likely think he was lying.

  However, the Four Divine Beast Clan had the Bloodline Awakening Pool, and after the clan members reached adulthood, they would enter the pool to awaken their divine beast bloodline and gain the innate talents and divine abilities of the Four Divine Beasts.

  Several of them had stayed in the Bloodline Awakening Pool and experienced the feeling of comprehending profound laws and becoming divine beings within a short period of time.

  It could only be said that Roy had an extremely high affinity with the Earth laws. After his soul strength was increased by the soul golden beads, it reached a level comparable to that of a divine beast's bloodline during adulthood.

  "I see, I'm the one who brought trouble to you."

  Hearing Roy say that, Laurent and the other three immediately understood, especially Shelley, regretting giving the soul golden beads to Roy too early.

  Although with the help of the soul golden beads, Roy's soul strength had increased by more than ten times and he successfully comprehended the last two profound laws, promoting to a divine position, it also increased the difficulty of integrating profound laws in the future, and his future strength might be limited.

  "It's alright."

  Seeing Shelley blaming herself, Roy smiled and said, "My soul strength has increased a lot now. Although integrating profound laws has become more difficult after mastering the last two, it's not impossible."

  "And, I have already completely integrated the four profound laws. In terms of strength, I'm not weak."

  "Four profound laws?"

  Laurent and the others exchanged glances, their eyes filled with excitement.

  An upper divine being who had completely integrated the four profound laws had reached the strength of a Seven-Star Devil. In the Four Divine Beast Clan, they could no longer be considered weak.

  Excluding Roy, a foreign elder, there were no more than a hundred elders in the Four Divine Beast Clan with the strength of a Seven-Star Devil.

  This was accumulated by the Four Divine Beast Clan over several hundred billion years.

  On average, it took the clan a hundred billion years to produce one of its members with the strength of a Seven-Star Devil.

  They had cultivated an elder with the strength of a Seven-Star Devil for their clan, and the rewards they would receive were likely to further enhance their strength.

  "Shelley..."

  "Don't worry, I've already informed the clan leader through my divine clone in the ancestral land."

  Knowing what Laurent and the others were thinking, Shelley rolled her eyes at them and then said to Roy, "So, Elder Roy, should we set off for the Tianji Mountain Range now, or wait for you to finish your matters here before going?"

  "Thanks to the kindness of the city lords, I can focus on cultivation now and there is nothing I need to handle. Let's go by your arrangements, I can leave whenever."

  "Elder Roy, you can call me Shelley. Once we officially join our clan in the Tianji Mountain Range, both in terms of strength and status, you will be above me. At that time, it will be my turn to address you as Lord Roy."

Therefore, during the gap between exchanging control of the metal creature with Shelley, Roy also didn't neglect his cultivation.
