Shelley's Concern

"Don't worry, Shelley's."

"Senior Roy is solely focused on cultivation. Over these past 1.5 million years, even the Death Puppet in the Lord's residence has been sitting in the Lord's seat with its eyes closed. When I kindly went to greet him, he asked me to focus on my cultivation. Don't bother him unless it's necessary."

Upon hearing this from Kriss, Shelley's silently shook her head.

Kriss became Senior Roy's maid when she was just in her teens. Unfortunately, maybe due to Senior Roy's benevolence, even someone like her, who increased the difficulty of his progress on the path to complete attainment by several hundred thousand times, could be forgiven. Officially, Kriss was Senior Roy's maid, but because Senior Roy solely focused on cultivation, she hadn't done much of what a maid should do.

Moreover, owing to Senior Roy's influence, Kriss's status rose, and even her parents gained attention from the Vermilion Bird Clan's clan head.

With Senior Roy's increasing status and power, more and more people fawned over Kriss. Over these million years, Shelley's was the one who most keenly felt Kriss's changing mindset. She tried to caution Kriss several times, but unfortunately, Kriss either genuinely didn't understand or pretended not to.

"Oh, by the way, Shelley's, isn't it almost time to send the family's children to hell for their bloodline awakening? How many are going this time? Who's leading?"

The Four Divine Beast Family was scattered across the seven major god planes. It had been a million years since they settled in the four major supreme planes. Due to distance, every hundred thousand years, family members who hadn't awakened their bloodline were sent back to the ancestral land for awakening.

"This time, there are thirty-four new clan members—twenty-eight lower gods, two middle gods, and four with slightly inferior talent, currently at the limit of the Saint Realm."

"As for leading the team, it's my turn this year."

"Wow! Shelley's, can I go with you?"

Upon hearing that Shelley's a senior, was leading the team, Kriss's eyes brightened, and she asked eagerly.

"No."

Upon Kriss's request, Shelley's rejected it outright.

Seriously, Kriss was Senior Roy's maid. Although it might only take a few thousand years for her to go and come back, what if Senior Roy woke up and couldn't find her?

"Shelley's, please, I beg you."

Kriss held Shelley's's hand gently, pleadingly looking at Shelley's. "I haven't seen my parents in over a million years. Just this once, please."

"No, I said no."

Shelley's didn't hesitate and firmly refused Kriss's request.

Come on, Kriss was Senior Roy's maid. Although it might take just one trip back and forth, what if Senior Roy couldn't find her when he woke up?

"Kriss, stop this nonsense."

Shelley's scolded Kriss loudly, who had already become a being of ice-blue hair.

Has this person really become so inflated?

Shelley's still remembered when she brought Senior Roy to meet Tia Nemo, the head of the Vermilion Bird Clan. Tia Nemo had mentioned that if Senior Roy didn't like it, he could directly take his maid for the bloodline awakening and directly ascend as a god.

What was Kriss trying to do? Senior Roy didn't ruin her future, and she even wanted to leave a divine clone in the family?

"Kriss, forget about your words today. You are Senior Roy's maid. Hurry back to the Lord's residence to avoid trouble when Senior Roy wakes up."

After the last admonishment, Shelley's directly sent Kriss back to her station.

Then, Shelley's immediately ordered all the family members who needed to return to hell for their bloodline awakening within this hundred thousand years to gather back at their station. Once everyone was assembled, they would immediately depart for hell.

This series of actions by Shelley left Ivan, Timothy, and Brittany, the three elders, puzzled.

"Shelley isn't there still over a thousand years before departure? Why are you starting to gather so early?"

"Sigh..."

Shelley sighed and explained Kriss's situation to the three of them.

"I'm worried that if we wait any longer, Kriss will have more ideas."

"So I'm leaving early to cut off her thoughts."

"Timothy, Brittany, please be careful as well. Don't let Kriss disrupt the friendship between Senior Roy and our Four Divine Beast Family."

"This..."

Timothy and Brittany glanced at each other, realizing each other's dilemma.

Kriss was currently Senior Roy's only maid. If she wanted to do something, did they have the courage to stop her?

"Sigh..."

Shelley sighed again. "I know this will offend Kriss, but you must think for the family. How about this? If Senior Roy blames anyone later, just put it on my head."

"After all, I've already been tagged by Senior Roy. I've got a lot of debts anyway."

After a while of whispering amongst themselves, each of them returned to their rooms to handle the family's affairs.

A year later, after gathering all thirty-four family members who hadn't yet returned to hell for bloodline awakening within this hundred thousand years, Shelley took out the Metal Life and headed for the Undead Sacred Mountain.

In the Lord's residence, Kriss with her ice-blue hair smiled triumphantly as she watched the Metal Life ascend.

...

In the cultivation chamber, Roy's cultivation had reached a critical stage.

His progress during this million years of cultivation was undoubtedly immense.

At the 200,000-year mark, Roy's soul strength had surpassed that of an average upper god by over a hundred times, surpassing even those who had mutated three types of laws.

The substantial improvement in soul essence enabled Roy to fuse the laws' profundities at a faster pace.

By the 300,000-year mark, Roy's soul strength had reached four hundred times that of an upper god, and the fusion of the six laws began, leading to a stage resembling the 'great perfection.'

In essence, except for the absence of willpower, Roy was not inferior to an upper god at the 'great completion' stage.

After all, a soul strength of four hundred times enabled Roy to perfectly control the power of the main god.

He even tried extracting the power of the main god from the inkstone. At present, he still had a few strands of the destructive main god's power extracted from the experiments.

At the 500,000-year mark, Roy's soul strength reached five hundred times that of an upper god. He focused on the 'element of earth' as the primary law. He successfully achieved the fusion of the first of the six laws and reached the 'suspected great completion' stage.

By the 600,000-year mark, Roy's soul strength had reached seven hundred times that of an upper god. The second fusion of five laws brought forth a new perfect technique.

600,000 years of cultivation had passed, and Roy was almost about to take the next leap forward in his power.
