In the Wind-style God Plane, above the continent of Qingya, a sword-shaped metal life form turned into a streak of flowing light, hurtling forward at extreme speed.
Lin Lei and Bei Bei sat facing each other.
To the side stood respectfully a burly, black-haired man nearly two meters tall, his beard like steel needles. The black-haired man said respectfully, "High God, according to the intelligence of our Qingya Army, there are over a thousand warriors on Qingya Continent worth your consideration. We could easily pick any place and begin the selection. But now..."
Lin Lei glanced at the black-haired man beside him and smiled. "Abu, are you in a hurry?"
"No, no." The black-haired man hurriedly shook his head.
The Wind-style God Plane consisted of nine continents in total, with even larger ocean regions. In accordance with the strength of the seven High Gods of the Wind style, the Wind-style Ruler alone managed all the seas and one continent. A lower-tier Wind-style High God could only manage one continent. A mid-tier High God managed two continents each.
The original "Teresia" had managed "Qingya Continent."
Now, Lin Lei's territory in the Wind-style God Plane was naturally Qingya Continent.
On Qingya Continent, there was also an army directly subordinate to a High God—the Qingya Army. The army's commander was this "Abu."
"This new High God has a strange temperament, but he's acceptable enough," Abu thought to himself. "But just how strong is this new High God, Lord Lin Lei? Why did I feel that when the Wind-style Ruler, Lord Diya, spoke with Lord Lin Lei earlier, Diya seemed... afraid of Lin Lei? And his attitude was so agreeable?"
"One is a Ruler, the other a High God, yet their roles seem reversed." Abu was filled with confusion.
When Lin Lei had first arrived in the Wind-style God Plane, he had naturally gone to see the Wind-style Ruler, Diya.
Upon seeing Lin Lei visit, Diya's face drained of color in fright.
Diya remembered clearly how Lin Lei had easily struck down the Lightning-style Ruler with a single sword blow, annihilating the Ruler's Earth High God clone. He had even terrified the Lightning-style Ruler into fleeing without daring to glance back. With Lin Lei's strength, destroying him, the Wind-style Ruler Diya, would be as effortless as a wave of the hand.
Moreover, he had no friendship with Lin Lei, only enmity. Seeing Lin Lei arrive, Diya was naturally terrified!
However, Lin Lei did not strike. Instead, they discussed territories.
At that moment, Diya had offered to gift another continent under his command to Lin Lei. But Lin Lei refused.
Subsequently, Diya personally took Lin Lei to find the Qingya Army commander "Abu" and informed Abu that Lin Lei was now the administrator of Qingya Continent. When Lin Lei and Diya conversed, every nuance of their expressions and tones was observed by Abu. Abu was naturally puzzled.
After all, during their conversation, Diya had, unknowingly, appeared to be of inferior status.
"Abu, no rush. For now, we will go to 'Blue Lion Territory'," Lin Lei said with a faint smile.
"High God, you intend to...?" Abu's heart stirred instantly.
Beside them, Bei Bei chuckled mockingly. "My boss's intention, of course, is to go to Blue Lion Territory and watch that challenge! You know, that challenge isn't for another month. Boss isn't in a hurry at all. This metal life can just fly slowly; we'll arrive at Blue Lion Territory right on time."
For a High God's speed, reaching Blue Lion Territory would take around an hour.
But Lin Lei leisurely rode the metal life, drifting along casually.
This "casual drifting" was relative to a High God. For an ordinary upper-tier god, the metal life's flight speed was already terrifyingly fast.
"The High God is really quite leisurely," Abu thought.
"Boss, how long are you planning to spend looking for the six envoys?" Bei Bei transmitted via divine sense. "We haven't gone out to relax in ages. Let's take our time this time."
Searching for the envoys was, in reality, also a way to relax.
"No rush. The God Plane is vast... As long as we complete the search before the Plane War begins, it's fine," Lin Lei said with a smile.
"Actually, even after the Plane War starts, it's fine. As long as it's someone of the Commander level, they can still enter anyway," Bei Bei said with a grin.
The Qingya Army commander Abu blinked upon hearing this.
Wind-style God Plane, Qingya Continent, Blue Lion Territory.
"High God, today is the day of the challenge. This battle will see the seventh-grade Wind Hunter 'Rasel' challenge the lord of Blue Lion Territory, 'Umbraphel'. This seventh-grade Wind Hunter 'Rasel' is quite famous within our Wind-style God Plane. He is known for his speed and cunning. Of course, his strength is also formidable," Abu conveyed respectfully via divine sense.
At this moment, Lin Lei and Bei Bei walked side by side along the mountain path, while the black-haired man "Abu" followed at their flank.
"Rasel..."
Lin Lei remembered the intelligence scrolls and the corresponding numerous floating images that Abu had presented to him. They detailed over a thousand of Qingya Continent's strong individuals, each at least a Seven-Star Demon level, with unique techniques.
'Wind Hunter' was the title used in the Wind-style God Plane.
Just as 'Demon' was the title used in the Infernal Realm.
A seventh-grade Wind Hunter was equivalent to a Seven-Star Demon.
"Today's battle takes place in this deep mountain valley. Looking at the people around, there's quite a crowd," Abu conveyed via divine sense.
Lin Lei nodded slightly.
Numerous figures flew across the sky, and even on this mountain path, many figures were about. Gods moved with graceful agility. With one or two steps, they could cover a mile or two. Although Lin Lei and his companions did not wish to cause a sensation, even moving at a normal pace, two or three steps would take them dozens of miles.
"Hmm? Abu, unless someone deliberately transformed to look like that challenger Rasel, I think he's behind us right now," Lin Lei said with a faint smile.
"Oh?" Abu looked somewhat surprised.
As a High God, how vast was Lin Lei's divine sense? He easily detected a figure flying gracefully over. Lin Lei observed Rasel with interest.
Rasel was a young man handsome enough to make women jealous. His seemingly delicate appearance, combined with a smile that could charm even gods, meant that if Rasel were a woman, he would undoubtedly drive countless gods crazy. Fortunately, he was merely a man.
Although his effeminate beauty made many people dislike him.
