"Brale, you also have a Darkness God-level Clone?" the Black Tortoise Army Corps Commander 'William' exclaimed in shock.
Lin Lei smiled faintly and glanced at 'William.' "William, as the Black Tortoise Army Corps Commander, the intelligence you've gathered isn't very accurate—you didn't even know Brale had a Darkness God-level Clone."
"High God, this is my failure in duty." William hastily bowed.
Brale also bowed. "High God, apart from those present, no more than five people know I have a Darkness God-level Clone. Having a Darkness God-level Clone was indeed a secret. But now that I serve as your High God Emissary, I naturally won't hide it."
Lin Lei nodded with a smile. "How far away is your God-level Clone? How long would it take to fly here?"
"Not too far—about ten days," Brale said.
"Hey, kid, you say that so casually—making us wait ten days!" Bei Bei suddenly glared.
"Well..." Brale smiled awkwardly and glanced at Lin Lei. "I need ten days. If the High God lends a hand, it would probably take only a moment." Brale didn't know much about High Gods, but he understood just how terrifying their speed could be.
Lin Lei shook his head with a smile. "Let's move out! Brale, your God-level Clone is over there—just guide us in the right direction."
"Yes, High God! My God-level Clone is to the northeast." Brale quickly indicated the direction, then turned his head to look at the green-robed figure in the distance—his good friend 'Ganreisa'—and immediately sent a divine sense transmission: "Brother Ganreisa, I'm leaving with the High God now. We'll meet again when fate allows."
"Brale, congratulations." From afar, Ganreisa watched Lin Lei's group. He felt genuinely happy for his friend.
"Let's go!" Lin Lei said with a smile.
As he spoke, a surge of Earth High God power spread out, enveloping everyone present.
Whoosh! They transformed into a streak of earthy yellow light and vanished into the horizon in an instant.
Ganreisa tilted his head up, watching the streak of light disappear, sighing with emotion. "Not long ago, Brale and I were still sparring together. I never imagined that in the blink of an eye, he'd become a High God Emissary." He looked at the grassland around him, and a smile appeared on his face. "Fortunately, Brale managed to complete this magic array just a few days ago."
During this period, Brale had been staying with Ganreisa, primarily to set up a magic array for him.
The essence of magic arrays differed from both the Seven Great Laws and the Four Great Truths. It was an entirely unique discipline. Studying magic arrays required considerable patience and natural talent in the field. The demands on one's deductive and computational abilities, as well as one's attunement to the world, were extremely high. Whether in the Infernal Realm or other higher planes, or in the Seven Divine Planes, a master of magic arrays held an exceptionally elevated status.
Just like when Lin Lei first entered the Infernal Realm and took the Demon Trial. The castle he entered that time contained a large-scale magic array.
However, the path of magic arrays was not the true Great Dao. One could not use it to enhance one's own strength.
"Starting today, nobody should be bothering me anymore." Ganreisa smiled as he activated the magic array.
Hummm~~
A hazy glow lit up across an area of nearly ten li, then faded almost immediately. In an instant, the scenery within those ten li transformed—the lake and buildings vanished, replaced by an ordinary stretch of grassland.
Clearly, this was a formidable illusion magic array.
Lin Lei himself didn't yet realize that he had taken on a magic array master as his emissary.
The world stretched vast and boundless.
Lin Lei's group streaked through the sky at tremendous speed. Lin Lei furrowed his brow and glanced at Brale. "Brale, where exactly is your God-level Clone?"
"Right up ahead—it's almost there," Brale replied.
"Yes, right here, High God. You can stop," Brale said quickly.
Lin Lei frowned and stopped. This location was nearly a hundred million li from the grassland they'd just left—a hundred million li was nothing more than the time it took to speak a few sentences for Lin Lei.
"Are you sure it's here?" Lin Lei couldn't help looking at him again.
"Yes, my God-level Clone is coming." Brale smiled and looked into the distance.
Lin Lei also looked into the distance. Far away in the sky, several groups were flying aboard metal lifeforms, and a few individuals moved alone. What surprised Lin Lei the most was that he couldn't sense a single person nearby who shared Brale's aura.
"Here he comes," Brale said with a smile.
Sure enough—
A figure was hurtling toward them at great speed. The newcomer wore a long black robe, stood about the same height as Brale, and a trace of killing intent flickered through his eyes from time to time. Upon drawing near, he immediately bowed. "Darkness 'Brale,' greets the High God!"
Silence!
Whether it was the other High God Emissaries, Corps Commander 'William,' Bei Bei, or even Lin Lei—all of them were stunned!
"You two... are the same person?" Lin Lei swept his gaze over them in disbelief.
Brale in his white robe wore a warm, amiable smile that instantly put people at ease.
Brale in his black robe, on the other hand, exuded an aura of malevolence.
Most importantly—their soul auras were completely different!
By common knowledge, once one became an independent god and split one's soul, the two halves would be identical. Memories, emotions—everything would be exactly the same. In theory, even with different God-level Clones, the temperament, thoughts, and everything else should be the same.
"High God, he and I truly are one and the same," the white-robed 'Brale' said respectfully.
"To be precise, billions of years ago, we were one person," the black-robed 'Brale' said, glancing at the white-robed 'Brale.'
Bei Bei stared at the black-robed and white-robed 'Brale,' then turned to look at Lin Lei and sent a transmission: "Boss, what's going on? They're the same person?"
"Brale, you two..." Lin Lei swept his gaze over the pair before him. "You're really the same person? Can you prove it?"
