"This Diya is truly cautious," Lin Lei thought to himself.
At this moment, Beilute and Qinghuo flew over from the distance. Beilute even transmitted his voice: "Lin Lei, were you hiding your strength just now?" Based on Beilute and Qinghuo's deductions, with Lin Lei's strength, killing Diya should have been an extremely easy task. After all, among the Seven Great Law Sovereigns, the Light Sovereign was the strongest.
If he couldn't even kill Diya, how could he possibly kill Augustus?
"Just now, I didn't use the fused power of the Highgod," Lin Lei transmitted back.
"As expected," Qinghuo and Beilute both sighed in relief.
"It's good to hide your strength for now. I estimate you've already killed Tereixiya. Shortly, the Four Rule Sovereigns will arrive. Hiding your strength now will make it easier to conceal later," Beilute transmitted.
This was precisely Lin Lei's plan.
"I don't want to reveal my strength and scare Augustus away," Lin Lei gazed into the distance. "Now Diya and the others have returned to the Wind System Divine Plane. Let's go too."
"We should face the other Sovereigns," Beilute and Qinghuo agreed.
To kill a Highgod, you must at least have a reason, an excuse. At the very least, it shouldn't violate the Highgod Pact.
If you have a reason but flee immediately after killing, even if you're in the right, the Four Rule Sovereigns would likely be furious. Once hunted by the Four Rule Sovereigns, it would be disastrous. Even the current Lin Lei had no confidence he could win against the Four Rule Sovereigns.
"Whoosh~~"
Flying to the edge of the Wind System Divine Plane, they tore through the barrier. Lin Lei, Beilute, and Qinghuo, these three Highgods, flew inside.
The Wind System Divine Plane was vast and boundless. The three of them took out a metal life form and transformed it into a large ship floating on the sea. Lin Lei and the others chatted leisurely on the ship, quietly waiting for the other Sovereigns to arrive.
"This Lin Lei actually dares to stay here," Diya clearly sensed Lin Lei with his divine sense, a trace of anger in his heart. "Based on the speed, the Four Rule Sovereigns should have received the news by now. With their speed, they should be able to reach my Wind System Divine Plane within half a day."
Diya was seething with anger right now.
It was understandable. First, he was the Wind System Sovereign. As a Wind System Highgod, Lin Lei was so defiant. His dignity as a Sovereign was violated, so he was naturally displeased. Second, under his very gaze, even after he shouted to stop it, Lin Lei still killed Tereixiya. How could he be calm? Third, he wanted to seize the Divine Artifact but failed. Fourth, Lin Lei's strength made him feel threatened.
These four points made him hostile towards Lin Lei!
However—
He felt hostility towards Lin Lei, but Lin Lei did not even take this "Diya" seriously.
In the Hell, one of the Four Great Highest Divine Planes, deep within the Chaotic Sea.
"Destroy Sovereign, that newly ascended Highgod 'Lin Lei', along with Beilute and a Fire System Highgod, have come to my Wind System Divine Plane. Lin Lei even pursued and killed Tereixiya. In the spatial turbulence, he killed Tereixiya and also refined the Wind System Highgod G. This Lin Lei has completely violated the original Highgod Pact."
A voice traveled billions of miles, reaching deep into the Chaotic Sea.
"Lin Lei killed Tereixiya? Interesting, interesting!" A figure shrouded in black light shot up from the seabed in an instant. "It's been so long since I met those three. It should be time for a good exchange."
This blurred figure flew directly towards the nearest teleportation array.
Above the Divine Prison Sea in the Light System Divine Plane.
"Whoosh—" A white beam of light instantly cut across the sky, so fast that even Highgod-level beings couldn't see it clearly.
Augustus's dazzling golden hair fluttered, a hint of joy in his eyes: "Haha, I really didn't expect that Beilute, Qinghuo, and Lin Lei would actually dare to leave the Yulan Plane and even chase after Tereixiya! This is truly a god-sent opportunity."
Upon receiving the news, Augustus headed towards the teleportation array at maximum speed!
"But according to the news, Tereixiya was indeed killed. How does this Lin Lei have the strength to kill Tereixiya?" Augustus was somewhat confused.
The Wind System Highgod who came to report the news hadn't mentioned that Lin Lei possessed a Divine Artifact.
"Whoosh!"
Augustus's figure descended towards a teleportation array in the distance.
"Lin Lei has become a Highgod?"
"He actually killed a Highgod and refined the Highgod G?"
One by one, the Highgods who received the news were all shocked. They all hurriedly traveled through teleportation arrays from various places to the Wind System Divine Plane.
The first to receive the news and the fastest to arrive were naturally the Four Rule Sovereigns. Then came the other Sovereigns, and after that, the numerous Highgods.
Highgods were usually very bored. Their eternal, infinite lives gave them endless time to squander. A Highgod killing another Highgod and refining the Highgod G was like a murder suddenly occurring in a mortal town—the attraction was evident.
Every Highgod who received the news headed to the Wind System Divine Plane.
At the summit of "Liufeng Mountain," one of the three major teleportation array locations in the Wind System Divine Plane.
"Hummm~~" A misty glow lit up.
A blurred human figure appeared within the teleportation array, naturally radiating a terrifying aura.
"Who is this?"
The surrounding soldiers were so oppressed by this aura that they held their breath, staring in terror at the blurred figure in the array. Just as the light of the array faded, the blurred figure suddenly shot up into the sky and vanished in a flash. Its speed was so great that even the soldiers, who had reached the Highgod level, couldn't see it clearly.
"This... is a Highgod! It must be a Highgod!"
"A speed we can't even see clearly—that's only possible for a Highgod!"
