Make me leave the team? My beast girl and I can win easily.

After obtaining the position of the God of Chaos, Lin Shan did not leave immediately.

She stood with her eyes closed in that void, the golden light emanating from her body flickering.

Lin Yu didn't disturb her, but just stood quietly to the side.

Taotie nestled in his arms, tilting its head up to look at Lin Shan with curiosity.

After a long time, Lin Shan opened her eyes.

Those golden eyes were even deeper than before, and within them flowed a light that Lin Yu had never seen before—

This light is not power, but knowledge.

It is the knowledge about the truth of this world carried in the inheritance of divine positions.

"My Lord," she began, her voice more somber than usual, "I have learned some things."

Lin Yu looked at her: "What's wrong?"

Lin Shan was silent for a moment, seemingly organizing her thoughts. "In this world, there exists a realm of gods."

Lin Yu was not surprised.

He had known about the existence of the divine realm for a long time; those eyes that peered at him after the war of the five races came from the divine realm.

"There are thirty-six true gods in the divine realm, each governing one of thirty-six laws," Lin Shan continued. "Light, darkness, life, death, time, space, destiny, destruction, creation..."

"Every law has a true god in charge."

"They each have their own role, maintaining the operation of the entire world."

She paused, her tone becoming low.

"But that was a long time ago."

Lin Yu frowned: "What happened?"

"The five true gods have broken the balance," Lin Shan said. "The God of Light, the God of Destruction, the God of Destiny, the God of Darkness, and the God of Life—they are the five most powerful, and they govern the most fundamental laws."

"But they were not satisfied with their own power and began to devour other true gods and plunder their authority."

Lin Yu's brows furrowed even deeper.

"When a True God devours another True God, he can master two laws. The more laws he masters, the stronger he becomes." Lin Shan's voice carried a hint of coldness. "Five high-ranking gods frantically devoured other True Gods. Of the thirty-six True Gods, less than fifteen remain."

"Those gods who were devoured have vanished completely; even their divine positions no longer exist."

Lin Yu remained silent for a few seconds. "What about the God of Chaos and the God of the Abyss?"

"The God of Chaos and the God of the Underworld escaped this calamity," Lin Shan said. "They retreated into their own divine realms—the Source of Chaos and the Underworld—completely severing all ties with the outside world."

"The five high-ranking gods cannot find them, or if they do find them, they do not want to risk intruding."

"After all, within their own divine realm, the power of the God of Chaos and the God of the Underworld is no less than that of any high-ranking god."

Lin Yu understood.

"So they have been sleeping all this time."

Lin Shan nodded.

"Yes, the sleep is to conceal one's presence and to accumulate power."

"Once awakened, they may be discovered by the five high-ranking gods."

Lin Yu looked at her: "You're awake now."

Lin Shan paused for a second, then nodded.

"Yes, but I am different from the God of Chaos."

"He is alone, but I have a Lord."

Lin Yu didn't say anything, but simply held her hand.

Lin Shan's lips curled up slightly as she continued, "If the Venerable One wishes to attain godhood and enter the realm of true godhood, relying solely on one's own strength is insufficient."

"The five high-ranking gods will not allow the birth of a new true god, especially Your Majesty—your law of creation is the source of all laws and the power they fear most."

Lin Yu frowned: "Then what should I do?"

"We're searching for the Four Divine Beasts," Lin Shan said, her golden eyes fixed on Lin Yu. "The Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Black Tortoise. They are the oldest beings from ancient times, even older than the true gods."

"They do not participate in the struggles of the divine realm, nor do they submit to any true god."

Legend has it that the four divine beasts jointly guard the entrance to the "True Dragon Realm".

"The Realm of True Dragons?" Lin Yu asked.

"That is the place where the Dragon God sleeps," Lin Shan said. "The Dragon God is not a true god; He is on a higher level than a true god. He is the ancestor of all dragons and the original incarnation of the laws of creation."

"If the Lord can enter the Realm of True Dragons and gain the approval of the Dragon God, he will obtain the true Godhood of Creation—not a flawed product divided among the five high-ranking gods, but the complete and original Law of Creation."

Lin Yu remained silent for a long time.

Taotie poked its head out from his arms and whispered, "Master, I think I've heard of the Realm of True Dragons."

"That was a very, very long time ago, so long before I was even born."

Lin Yu looked down at it: "What do you know?"

Taotie blinked: "All I know is that the Four Divine Beasts have been waiting for one person. Waiting for someone who can inherit the mantle of the Dragon God. I didn't know who they were waiting for before, but now—"

It looked up at Lin Yu and said, "I believe that the person they are waiting for is you."

Lin Yu smiled and ruffled its fur.

"You've done a good job of flattering me."

The gluttonous beast grew anxious: "What I'm saying is true!"

Lin Yu ignored it and looked at Lin Shan.

"So, where are the Four Divine Beasts?"

Lin Shan shook her head: "I don't know. They are even more mysterious than the gods of chaos; no one has ever known where they are."

"But one thing is certain—there is a special connection between the four divine beasts; if you find one of them, you can find the others."

The two of them looked at Taotie at the same time.

Taotie was stunned.

"Why are you looking at me? I am Taotie, not one of the Four Divine Beasts."

"I am merely a divine beast, not the leader of all divine beasts..."

Lin Yu smiled: "But you know the Four Divine Beasts, right?"

Taotie hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I do know them. A long, long time ago, I fought with them."

"The four of them fought me alone, and it ended in a draw."

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow: "You're taking on all four of them by yourself?"

Taotie puffed out its chest smugly: "Of course. I am the number one divine beast of ancient times."

But then she deflated, "However, later they summoned the Dragon God, who slapped me unconscious and then imprisoned me in the Sky Tower..."

Lin Yu: "..."

Lin Shan paused for a second: "So, you know where they are?"

Taotie nodded and whispered, "I know. But they live in a place that is very, very far away, so far that you have to cross the edge of the star field battlefield and walk all the way to the end of the world."

Lin Yu stood up and looked at the endless void deep within the source of chaos.

"Then let's go there and find them."

The Taotie poked its head out from his arms, tilted its head back, and asked, "Master, are you sure?"

"That place is dangerous."

"Although the four divine beasts do not harm people, their trials are extremely difficult."

Lin Yu looked down at it and smiled. "Even harder than breaking through to demigod level?"

Taotie thought for a moment and said, "No, not at all."

"Let's go then."

He turned around and, with Lin Shan and Taotie in tow, headed towards the exit of the Source of Chaos.

Behind them, the golden light gradually dissipated.
