The Profound Mysteries of Laws for "Power" and "Earth Pulse" have already reached Paragon. However, Roy had previously found the crucial "compatibility point" for merging the Profound Mysteries of Laws. Before he could merge the Profound Mysteries of Laws for "Power" and "Earth Pulse" with the other four Profound Mysteries of Laws to Paragon, he could still make progress, albeit slowly.
Therefore, Roy shifted his cultivation focus to the soul.
Why did Roy feel that this opportunity was even greater than becoming a Paragon High-God?
It was naturally because what Roy obtained was far more important than Willpower.
At that time, in a state of "unity of man and nature," Roy's mind and spirit merged with the laws of heaven and earth, clearly sensing how the laws of heaven and earth elevated one's soul from a God to a High-level God.
After the laws of heaven and earth dispersed, Roy went into seclusion for over a hundred years. Finally, based on his perception at the time, he created a method to enhance the soul.
Looking at the worlds created by Fan Qie, they are basically divided into three paths of transcendence:
Body, Divine Power, and Soul.
Linley's fusion of the four types of Sovereign Power in the Coiling Dragon Universe can be considered a transcendence in terms of Divine Power.
Qin Yu's connection of his dantian to the Primordial Chaos space in Stellar Transformations can also be considered a Divine Power transcendence.
However, Roy only had affinity for Earth Element and his soul had not mutated. This fundamentally cut off any possibility of transcending the Coiling Dragon Universe.
But this method Roy created, based on the descent of the laws of heaven and earth, could allow Roy's soul to grow stronger with cultivation, and its ultimate achievement would definitely be higher than becoming a Paragon High-God.
Paragon High-God was the endpoint for the gods in the Coiling Dragon Universe.
Even Lord Gods derived most of their strength from the Willpower within their Lord Godheads. In terms of soul essence alone, they were inferior to Paragon High-Gods.
Over more than three hundred years, Roy cultivated according to the method he created, and he felt that the strength of his soul had increased by about one-tenth.
This was already comparable to a tenth of the improvement gained from a single descent of the laws of heaven and earth.
At this rate of cultivation, in tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of millions of years, Roy believed that with his soul power alone, even if he wasn't a Lord God, his strength would be no less than that of a Lord God.
This was also the confidence Roy had in becoming an elder of the Four Divine Beast Family.
"Elder Roy, we've arrived at Nichols City."
Outside the Metal Life, Shelley said to Roy with a hint of respect.
Shelley's Wind Element Divine Clone also possessed the strength of a Five-star Devil.
Her Fire Element Divine Clone possessed the strength of a Six-star Devil, making her a high-ranking member within the Four Divine Beast Family.
Within the family, Shelley had also encountered other Seven-star Devils.
But when Roy was cultivating, the pressure Shelley felt from him was no weaker than the pressure she felt from Tia Nemo, the patriarch of the Vermilion Bird clan within the Four Divine Beast Family.
This made Shelley inwardly astonished.
Although she couldn't definitively conclude that Roy's strength was comparable to that of Patriarch Tia Nemo, it could certainly be considered that even among Seven-star Devils, Roy was not weak.
As expected of a super genius who became a God within a thousand years; no one in the Four Divine Beast Family could match his talent.
Thinking of this, Shelley couldn't help but regret giving the Soul Gold Beads to Roy.
If not for the Soul Gold Beads, Roy would have had a high chance of becoming the first Paragon High-God in the Four Divine Beast Family.
And now, the probability of Roy becoming a Paragon High-God was too small.
She hoped that when Roy's strength reached an insurmountable peak after hundreds of millions of years, he wouldn't hold a grudge against her.
The hatred for the murder of a father and the usurpation of a wife could be considered top-tier grudges.
But for gods, the crime of obstructing their path was a feud to the death!
It was precisely her backing by the Four Divine Beast Family and the four Lord God ancestors that made Shelley unafraid of Roy making a move against her after hundreds of millions of years.
Otherwise, if it were some non-Lord God families, they would likely try every means to eliminate Roy.
Of course, it was another matter whether they could still kill Roy, who had already completely merged four Profound Mysteries of Laws.
"Hoo..."
Hearing Shelley's voice, Roy calmed his cultivation, and the surrounding fluctuation resembling the laws of heaven and earth slowly dissipated.
"Alright, coming right up."
After putting on his Demon Medal, Roy and Shelley flew directly through the gates of Nichols City. The guards at the gate and the people queuing to enter the city watched them with envious eyes.
The Demon Medal was a symbol of strength and also offered some convenience.
As long as you are strong enough, you can transcend most of the rules in the world.
The weak are subject to the rules, but the strong are not restricted by them; conversely, they create the rules.
Roy didn't want to challenge any rules, but he wanted to possess the power to be unrestrained by them.
"Lord Star, please come in."
As soon as Roy and Shelley landed in front of the Demon Castle in Nichols City, staff members came out to greet them.
"Star Demon" was the most renowned expert in the past ten thousand years.
Ten thousand years ago, he was a God, suspected of possessing Five-star Devil strength.
Ten thousand years later, "Star Demon" was already a High-level God, possessing at least Six-star Devil strength.
We received information from Sanhe City. A team to *subdue* the Gers Tribe was assembled three years ago and has been waiting for your arrival, Lord Star.
As the attendant welcomed Roy into the Demon Castle, he began explaining the current situation to Roy.
"Lord Star, according to our intelligence, the chieftain of the Gers Tribe seems to have noticed something recently and has been interacting very closely with several surrounding tribes. We suspect they have already formed an alliance."
"Now, the difficulty level of this demon mission has been raised to Six-star..."
"It's fine. If it's Six-star, then it's Six-star. After I'm promoted to High-level God, I'll be qualified to accept this mission."
"Mhm."
"Then have the demon hunters prepare. I'll lead the team this time. We'll depart in three days and wipe out the Gers Tribe in one fell swoop."
"Understood, Lord Star."
After the attendant left, Shelley pondered for a moment, then asked as if casually, "Elder Roy, I feel like you're quite invested in this mission?"
"Haha, Shelley, don't laugh at me."
"I grew up from a mortal. Although it was only a little over a hundred years, I still remember that feeling of powerlessness from back then..."
"Every day, I feared our tribe would be overrun, that we'd be sold to other wicked tribes, or worse, have our souls extracted by powerful evil beings to refine into Soul Gold Beads."
"That fear, even after more than ten thousand years, is still vividly etched in my memory."
"So, when I hear about such things, I react rather strongly."
Shelley was taken aback. She hadn't really looked into Elder Roy's past life and didn't quite understand his feelings.
However, the Four Divine Beast Family also seemed to have a dedicated system for nurturing mortals, periodically harvesting their souls to refine into Soul Gold Beads.
Since Elder Roy so strongly opposed such actions, she wondered what he would do if he found out about this.
