Chapter 344

Three days later, in the Life God Realm.

The group remained on the deserted overseas island, but the island now had 36 more Life Saints than three days ago.

Of them, sixteen belonged to Life Goddess Adele, and each of the two subordinate gods brought ten.

The strongest Life Saint, named Agatha, famed as the Heavenly Mandate Saintess of the Life God Sect, possesses a base soul strength as high as Legendary 14.

She is the most outstanding cultivator among the over two billion mortals of the Life God Realm, ranking among the top three in the Divine Realm's five-thousand-year history, truly a darling of the Creator.

About to set out on an adventure, the Life Saints were making final preparations before departure.

At this moment, Luosen was strolling and chatting with Life Goddess Adele on the beach.

Adele curiously asked, "Your Majesty Luosen, you must have many Legendary powerhouses in your country; why not bring a group out?"

Luosen corrected, "There are indeed many Legendary mages, but the vast majority are scholar mages who have never even killed a chicken; bringing them would be useless."

That's true.

Currently, the total number of Legendary mages in the Empire exceeds 700.

But at least 95% are research-type mages trained by the academy.

Adele doubted, "Aren't there any Legendary warriors?"

Luosen laughed, "Of course there are some, but not many; they're currently occupied with domestic defense duties, leaving no time."

That statement is half true, half false.

Because various Legendary magical artifacts have become widespread, while true Legendary powerhouses number only over 700, artificial Legendary powerhouses are actually numerous, already reaching tens of thousands, and some elite legions have begun to gradually become Legendary.

These pseudo-Legendary powerhouses are naturally not weak, but the power gap compared to Luosen is huge; bringing them along on an adventure would merely make them Luosen's lackeys.

Not only would they be of little help, they'd even become a burden.

Moreover, there's a more important point: Luosen's public image in the Empire is gradually shifting toward that of a Holy Emperor.

Bringing his own warriors would mean every move is watched, adding unnecessary moral pressure and making him uncomfortable.

Seeing Adele's skeptical expression ("I don't believe you"), Luosen also felt hard to justify, spreading his hands: "When truly needed, I will naturally summon the Empire's legions."

Besides, I brought a Beilu Dandi; it alone could match all your Life Saints, right?

Adele had nothing to say: "Alright, you're right."

After a pause, she said, "Your Majesty, after we return from the Lost Plane this time, I hope to establish a stable phase-transfer formation between the Life Plane and your Natural Plane, allowing free interaction between the two planes."

After a pause, Adele added, "Let me be frank: I hope Your Majesty can help our Life Plane enter the high-energy domain."

Luosen wasn't surprised at all, because Adele's agreement to elementalization means she has fully pledged allegiance to him.

Consequently, the subsequent union of planes to jointly resist the Abyss is only natural.

"Of course no problem; in fact, this is exactly what I want. After all, there are three Abysses, and relying on the strength of a single plane alone, we likely wouldn't be a match for the Abyss."

"But, will the mortal nations accept it?"

Adele smiled, "Rest assured, I have governed this plane for over five thousand years, firmly controlling mortal life faith; my divine edict is the mortals' heavenly mandate."

Given that, Luosen felt completely at ease.

Thus, he began inquiring again about the Lost Plane's situation: "By now, madam, shouldn't you tell me in detail about the Lost Plane's situation?"

"Of course."

Adele suddenly jogged a few steps to a flat reef stone by the sea, smoothed her lake-green long dress, sat cross-legged facing the ocean, and patted the stone beside her: "We've walked quite a distance; let's sit down and talk."

Luosen followed her instruction, sat down, saw Adele's clean bare feet beside him, with some sparkling fine sand stuck to them, and gently brushed off the sand with his hand.

After brushing it clean, he pinched it in his hand to play with, making her giggle.

"Your Majesty, this body is all your creation; haven't you had enough of looking at it?"

Luosen smiled, "I only crafted the body; true beauty in the world comes from the soul."

Adele pursed her lips, her eyes flowing like water: "So now, Your Majesty, dare you pluck a flower?"

"The issue isn't whether I dare or not, but whether you wish it; I'm not a rude person."

Adele laughed, blossoms trembling: "Your Majesty really knows how to speak, but let's get to the point first."

She put aside her casual demeanor, turned serious: "The Lost Plane is a very dangerous ruin."

"There, uncontrolled high-energy forces run rampant; even after over ten thousand years, they still haven't fully calmed down."

"Some places have deadly poison that kills on contact; some have powerful war golems that attack anyone on sight; others have mutated, terrifying elemental lifeforms."

"That alone would be manageable with sufficient preparation and caution."

"What's truly terrifying are the occasional law-ring storms!"

As she spoke, her black-and-white eyes involuntarily showed a look of terror.

"The Lost Plane once nearly ascended to become a supreme divine realm possessing 23 complete law rings, but ultimately failed."

"The reasons for the failure are complex; most have been buried by the Sands of Time, making it hard for later generations to discern the original truth."

"Thus, the law rings of the Lost Plane are highly complex."

"Most areas have the common eleven law rings, but many places still retain a trace of the divine realm's glory, possessing twelve-layer, or even thirteen-layer, complete law rings."

"The imbalance of law-ring power frequently causes massive power surges, resulting in destructive power storms."

"Even great gods cannot face these storms head-on; they must flee before the storm arrives, or else they may perish."

Luosen thought for a moment, then said, "Now that we are elemental lifeforms, if we encounter a storm, can we only escape via phase transfer?"

Adele shook her head: "Phase transfer is an option, but law-ring storms severely interfere with it, creating strong phase imprisonment, so success isn't guaranteed."

"Therefore, the safest approach is to dig a shelter as deep as possible, because the law rings deep underground are usually very stable."

Luosen nodded: "Understood, anything else?"

"Finally, there's the high-energy law-ring zone."

"Within these residual high-energy law rings exist extremely terrifying mysterious entities."

She looked toward Luosen: "In past expeditions, many people have entered the high-energy law rings, but we have never seen anyone come out. After so many times, we all stay far away from these high-energy law rings."

Luosen nodded slightly, but he had some different thoughts: "Obviously, within the high-energy magic ring, the possibility of high-ranking divine artifacts existing is high."

Adela lightly grabbed Luosen's hand that was exploring everywhere, and earnestly reminded: "Your Majesty, you are not the only one who thinks that, but I just said, no one has come out of the high-energy magic ring, not a single one!"

"I've remembered that."

Although he said that, his hand did not stop exploring because of Adela's obstruction.

Adela failed to block him, so she simply gave up, she lightly sighed: "I can feel that Your Majesty is still not dead-hearted, but I have nothing to say about this." "After all, you not only possess a true god's body, but also hold knowledge and resources unmatched by anyone."

"I can only say, don't be too adventurous, Your Majesty."

Luosen slowly nodded: "Thank you for the reminder, miss, I will respond with twelvefold caution."

He hasn't had enough life yet, he doesn't want to waste away so early.

While speaking, his hand was also not idle,

Adela's body tensed, she looked at Luosen with a half-smile: "Your Majesty, I haven't agreed yet."

Luosen hehe laughed: "It was my rudeness, miss."

He said that with his mouth, but his hand meant something else.

Adela did not pursue Luosen's insincere rude gesture; in fact, she was also quite curious about her new divine body: "Your Majesty, I very much want to know, does the elemental body you forged possess the complete functions of life? I mean, can I bear a true god's offspring with you?"

Luosen had long since figured out the life mechanism; he nodded without hesitation: "After a few more adjustments, once our powers are coordinated, we can."

Adela was very surprised: "Then where does the bloodline of this body of mine come from?"

"Divided into two sources."

"One is the standard life template I used when creating it. Second, during the fusion process, I personalized the standard template according to your soul structure, miss."

"Because every void god's soul structure is extremely unique, the adjusted part is very large, accounting for about ninety percent."

"In other words, this is the elemental bloodline I reverse-engineered from your soul projection, miss. Or put another way, the vast majority of this body's bloodline is yours, miss."

But she still felt she couldn't quite understand Luosen.

"Your Majesty, you should have seen countless women's scenery, which is mostly similar. So is this matter really that interesting?"

Luosen laughed: "Elemental scenery naturally has no big difference, but souls are each unique, and all kinds of soul reactions are also unique."

While speaking, his arrow hit the bullseye, and he added: "Finally, miss, your identity is also unique."

"I believe there are hardly any people in this world qualified to shoot an arrow of love at you, miss, right?"

Adela was confused by Luosen's words: "Your Majesty's twisted logic is truly abundant."

After a moment, she softly pleaded: "Your Majesty, please be gentler; the perception of the elemental body is far sharper than that of the soul body."

"As you wish, miss."

The two were fully communicating when a weak voice came from not far away: "Your Excellency, the troops have been readied, we can set out anytime, what do you think?"

Luosen looked up, and it was Adela's strongest life holy follower under her command, Agatha, who is also the leader of the mortal holy followers.

At this moment, the heaven's mandate holy maiden, with her dignified holy maiden hairstyle and wearing a dark green battle magic robe, was standing fifty to sixty meters away, with her back to the two.

Adela was at this moment frantically blocking Luosen's attacks, having no time to respond.

Luosen thought, and the Mage Hand pulled out a batch of mass-produced scholarly talismans from his portable pack.

Not more, not less, exactly thirty-six, of which thirty-three are grade-four emerald scholarly talismans, two are grade-five azure scholarly talismans, and one is grade-six sky-blue talisman.

These are magic items he had prepared long ago.

"Agatha, these are soul magic items I'm giving you; take them and distribute, one each, they can greatly strengthen your power."

He added: "The sky-blue one is yours, the two azure ones go respectively to Naili and Peri's chief holy followers."

These life holy followers belong to Adela, but Adela belongs to him, so these holy followers are his retinue.

Strengthening their power both ensures they won't betray and greatly aids the upcoming adventure.

Agatha certainly knows the scholarly talisman, for the life goddess once bestowed a similar-effect magic item, but its quality is far inferior to the one before her eyes.

But she dared not accept it lightly, waiting for Adela's command.

Luosen then eased his attack, Adela finally relaxed: "Take it; from now on, Luosen Your Majesty's orders are my orders."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Agatha took up the scholarly talisman and ran off like a startled rabbit.

Adela chuckled: "Your Majesty, the little girl was scared silly by you."

Facing the retinue from the outer plane, Luosen felt no moral pressure: "She'll get used to it."

Adela again asked curiously: "Are these scholarly talismans effective for me now?"

Luosen shook his head: "No effect; you can't expect legendary magic items to strengthen a true god."

If you want it to work, you can use high-energy spirit essence to craft a personalized version of the scholarly talisman, like the supreme crown Luosen himself wears.

But such a super weapon, Luosen will not share it casually.

After a brief conversation, the two continued fighting on the reef.

But the good times didn't last, Beilu Dandi came over again.

She had no reservations, openly walking up to Luosen's side.

"Your Majesty, my father's apostle sent a message saying that Sun Lord Atum is roaming around with the Extinction Law Sword, looking to cause you trouble."

This news was somewhat shocking; Luosen was fine, but Adela was greatly startled, her body trembling violently.

Luosen smiled and soothed: "Miss, don't worry, I already knew this news."

It was told to him by Moon Lady Shaer.

He turned his head to look at Beilu Dandi: "Your father actually sent me a warning letter; this is truly thought-provoking, but is there any other news?"

"There's one more; he said Atum will also go to the Lost Plane."

"Understood."

Seeing Beilu Dandi still not leaving, Luosen asked: "Anything else?"

Beilu Dandi asked wearily, "We're all ready; we can set off at any time. Your Majesty, how much longer do you need?"

Luosen laughed, "Just wait for me another hour."

Adele felt this was absurd, hurriedly corrected: "Don't listen to his nonsense; twenty minutes will be enough."

Luosen couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Approximately one and a half hours later, Luosen and Adele finally returned to the group.

Rosen Ziran naturally became the team's leader, while Adele, thanks to her rich adventuring experience in the Lost Plane, became the team's chief advisor.

"Then, let's set off!"
