54 A Million Years of Cultivation

"Lord Star, you've become the new Lord of Lotus Rock. Within a day, we'll ensure that the entire Nine Hades Domain, including the 81 Manors, knows about you and has access to the battle images between you and Lord Frost."

"Is there any message you'd like me to pass on to the other 80 Lords of the domain?"

The 81 Lords of the Nine Hades Domain were selected by the Death Sovereign of the Underworld to oversee the plane's battlefield. Only the Lords of the Nine Hades had the authority to lead individuals into the dimensional battlefield.

Upon the succession of a new Lord, the administrator of the Blood Battle Stage would disseminate the new Lord's battle images and the images of challenging the Manor Lord to the other Lords within a day, ensuring that everyone knew about the new powerful Lord in the Nine Hades. This allowed them to coordinate activities while in the dimensional battlefield.

However, many Lords were unaware of this protocol. They only knew that upon a successful challenge, their information and battle images would spread across the other 90 islands by the following day.

"Is there such a thing?"

"Well, um…"

Under the scrutiny of the former Lord, Frost Gaifield, Nelson felt a bit uneasy, giving a few awkward laughs.

"Lord Frost, after you became the Lord, you hurriedly took over the Lord's City, and I didn't have the chance to discuss this with you…"

"Alright, Gaifield. Nelson meant well."

Raising his left hand slightly, Roy halted Gaifield's intention to confront Nelson.

"Yes, Lord Roy."

As per the master-servant contract, Gaifield was supposed to address Roy as "Master." However, considering Gaifield was a formidable figure at the level of a Shura, Roy didn't harbor any intention to subjugate him and instead communicated telepathically for Gaifield to address him by name.

"About this, Lord, what do you think..."

"Could you do me a favor, Nelson? Please inform everyone that Lotus Rock Island belongs to the Four Divine Beast Clans. I hope that when encountering descendants of the Four Divine Beast Clans during travels, they could lend a hand."

"Understood, I'll get it done right away."

After Nelson left, Roy returned with the Four Divine Beast Clan and the former Lord's staff to the Lord's Manor on Lotus Rock Island.

With Gaifield's assistance, Roy's group took control of Lotus Rock Island without any opposition.

Later, Roy summoned Gaifield's group of three and the four elders of the Four Divine Beast Clan to the main hall of the Lord's Manor.

At that moment, Roy sat at the main seat, while the four elders of the Four Divine Beast Clan occupied seats to his left, and Gaifield, Edga, and Marshall sat to his right.

"Elder Roy."

"My Lord Roy."

The four elders of the Four Divine Beast Clan addressed Roy as "Elder Roy," while Gaifield and his companions addressed him as "My Lord."

"Now that Lotus Rock Island is under our control, Snow, I entrust you with the affairs of the Four Divine Beast Clan. Feel free to make decisions that benefit the clan. If you encounter difficulties, feel free to come to the Lord's Manor."

"Yes, Elder Roy."

Snow respectfully responded to Roy. Today's battle had convinced them that Elder Roy's strength was no less than that of the clan chief.

"Lord Gaifield."

"My Lord Roy, please give your orders."

"After this, I'll begin secluded cultivation. I leave the management of the Lord's Manor to you. If there's nothing urgent, please refrain from disturbing me."

"Additionally, as before, when a Blood Battle expert reaches a 90-win streak, Edga and Marshall will ambush them. If it's a 99-win streak, Gaifield, you'll handle it. If even Gaifield fails, and a new challenger wishes to challenge the Lord, then you can inform me."

"Yes, My Lord Roy."

"Also, Gaifield, Kriss is my maid with a Water Divine Avatar. If she asks for guidance in her practice, spare some time to assist her."

"Understood, My Lord Roy."

After assigning all these tasks, Roy waved his hand, and Snow and the others followed the etiquette and exited the room.

"The Four Divine Beast Clan's matters have finally settled."

"Next, it's time for secluded cultivation!"

Roy took out a Death God Puppet from his spatial ring, dripped a drop of blood on it, and instantly, the puppet transformed into Roy's likeness, moving curiously.

After killing numerous attackers targeting the Four Divine Beast Clan, Roy's current wealth was comparable to some clans that had existed for billions of years. This puppet was a high-quality item, capable of perfectly accommodating Roy's divine power and unleashing strength on par with a four-star demon.

After a brief movement, Roy controlled the Death God Puppet to sit in the position of the Lord and withdrew his consciousness.

Subsequently, Roy opened the Lord's Manor's cultivation chamber and commenced his cultivation.

For years, due to the Four Divine Beast Clan's affairs, he hadn't been able to focus on his cultivation.

Now, it was time to work harder and make up for the time lost!

...

Lotus Rock Island went through a change!

Well, in reality, it didn't change much compared to before.

The one in control of Lotus Rock was still Lord Frost, or rather, his people.

What changed was the addition of a new clan on Lotus Rock Island—the Four Divine Beast Clan.

Everyone on Lotus Rock Island treated the Four Divine Beast Clan with respect.

This was the family of Lord Star. If anyone provoked them, even without Lord Star's intervention, the Lord's Army would ensure they received an adequate lesson.

The immortal gods had a very slow pace of life.

Basically, not much changed over millions of years.

...

"Shelley, sister."

In the mansion of the Four Divine Beast Clan on Lotus Rock Island, Kriss found Snow.

"Kriss, why are you here again?"

"Haha, Sister Shelley, you know I'm not familiar with the people in the Lord's Manor. If I don't come here, I won't find anyone to hang out with."

After a million years, Kriss had become an upper-tier god.

"You..."

Shaking her head, Snow reminded Kriss, "Kriss, you're Elder Roy's maid. Whenever Elder Roy needs you, you must be available. Coming here every day doesn't seem appropriate."

Snow was advising Kriss. As Roy's maid, she should prioritize Roy.

Unfortunately, Kriss didn't understand the deeper meaning behind Shelley's words.
