Chapter 27 The Sacred Realm of the Continent and the Divine Dimension
Lin Tian felt a surge of excitement, his entire body tensed up, and his eyes were fixed on Potter, eagerly anticipating hearing the important secret that belonged exclusively to the three mid-level god families from him.
Potter cautiously glanced around, making sure no one else was nearby, then lowered his voice and slowly said, "Lin Tian, for Saint-level experts, those seven divine planes and four supreme planes are nothing short of hell. According to the teachings passed down from our ancestors, those with Saint-level strength have absolutely no status in those seven divine planes and four supreme planes; they are not even as good as chickens and ducks in a chicken farm. Even if they cultivate to the level of a lower god, they are still at the bottom. Only by reaching the level of a middle god can they have even a sliver of status."
Furthermore, teleportation from the material plane to the seven divine planes and the four supreme planes is free. However, returning to the material plane from those seven divine planes and four supreme planes incurs an astonishingly high cost, payable only by the most powerful among the higher gods. It is for this reason that our ancestor strictly forbade members of the Leo family to travel lightly to the seven divine planes and the four supreme planes. I believe the other two great families have received similar instructions.”
Lin Tian maintained a calm demeanor on the surface, showing little change in expression, but inwardly he was furiously complaining: "I was so sure it was some earth-shattering secret concerning the life and death of my family! And this is it? This is it!"
Lin Tian quickly sorted through this information in his mind. For someone who had "read the original work" and knew many secrets, this content was indeed not a secret. But he knew very well that for the natives of the material plane, this was an absolute secret concerning their life and death.
However, a deep sense of doubt welled up in Lin Tian's heart. Why did Leo I and the other two mid-level gods know so much about these matters? Recalling the profound knowledge that shouldn't have been known at the Saint Realm stage, and the matter of the fusion mysteries that were kept secret to a certain extent, Lin Tian couldn't suppress his curiosity any longer and directly asked, "Grandpa, how exactly did the Ancestor and the other two mid-level god seniors know about these things? Did the three of them return to the Mayan Continent from one of the seven divine planes or the four supreme planes?"
Potter frowned slightly, a hint of helplessness in his expression, and slowly said, "I'm not entirely clear on the specifics either, as these matters involve far too profound levels. Perhaps you'll be able to learn more details once you become a lower-level god."
Lin Tian felt somewhat helpless, but then he suddenly thought of Lao En's situation, so he cautiously asked, "Grandpa, can I tell Teacher Lao En about these things privately?"
Potter sighed helplessly and said, "It's definitely not going to work to tell him the details about the seven divine planes and the four supreme planes directly! But think about the expression on my face when I was talking to you about these things with Laun just now, and how anxious I was to get you away. Laun is so smart, he should understand that the Holy Land cannot easily go to the seven divine planes and the four supreme planes."
Lin Tian thought about it carefully and realized that his grandfather was right. Based on the conversation just now and his grandfather's anxious appearance, Teacher Lao En would definitely be on guard. Even if he didn't realize it at first, Teacher Lao En and his grandfather hadn't been Saints for very long, and their cultivation of Saints was far from reaching its bottleneck. They would definitely continue to cultivate peacefully on the Mayan Continent for the foreseeable future.
Hearing Potter's words, Lin Tian, though still harboring doubts, felt somewhat relieved. He then curiously asked Potter, "Grandpa, just what is the strength of that Plane Guardian? Why did the three mid-level gods, including Ancestor, reach an agreement with the Plane Guardian?"
Potter frowned slightly, lost in thought, and slowly said, "According to the family's ancient records, the Plane Guardian was at the level of a mid-level god. But in reality, his true strength was inferior to that of the three ancestors. The family records mention that there was once an extremely large island in the South Sea, much larger than any island we see today. That island was extremely rich in magical potion resources; many magical potions that are now extinct in records could be found there. Back then, for some unknown reason, George I fought a great battle with the Plane Guardian on that island, and in the end, the entire island was destroyed, and the Plane Guardian was defeated and fled."
Lin Tian looked puzzled and pressed, "If that's the case, then why did the three of them ultimately reach an agreement with the Plane Guardians? There must be some hidden reason behind it."
Potter sighed deeply, a helpless expression on his face, and said, "I'm just a Saint-level being. Do you think I would know these deeper reasons? All I know is that Senior George chased him all the way to that island with a teleportation array deep in the South China Sea. As for what exactly happened on that island, I don't know. Afterwards, Ancestor and Senior Walter also went to that island, and then this agreement came about."
After hearing this, Lin Tian fell into deep thought, secretly speculating: "Judging from this situation, could it be that the Plane Guardian revealed his mission and the support of the main god's army, thus 'persuading' Leo I and the other two, thereby saving his life? At the same time, in order to complete the mission, he forced the three of them to sign an agreement?"
Then, just as Lin Tian was about to ask further questions, Potter interrupted, "Alright, alright, you can ask my father about the rest when you see him tomorrow! As a lower god, he knows far more than I do. With your talent, which far surpasses mine, he should be able to tell you some secrets that I don't know."
So Lin Tian followed Potter back to Potter's residence to rest. Lying in bed, Lin Tian's mind was racing, carefully considering the questions he would ask Harry the next day. Unconsciously, he entered a meditative state and spent the night in peaceful contemplation.
Early morning sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating Lin Tian's face. Although becoming a Saint-level expert meant they could survive without food, most Saint-level experts still ate three meals a day when not in seclusion. Therefore, meals were provided daily to the Saint-level experts at the mountainside. After having breakfast with Potter, Lin Tian followed Potter to Harry's residence.
On the way, Potter explained to Lin Tian, "Normally, if a Saint-level expert from the Leo family becomes a Lower God, they become an elder of the Leo family, responsible for managing many family affairs. You are Harry's direct descendant, so Harry is in charge of all your rights and interests on Mount Vulcan, and he will also answer some of your questions. Now you should understand why Harry asked me to take you to see him the next day last night; he was probably worried that you would ask some things that were inconvenient for Laun to know."
Lin Tian suddenly realized the reason.
Before long, the two arrived at Harry's residence. Upon seeing Harry, Lin Tian exchanged a few brief pleasantries with him. Afterward, Harry led Lin Tian to choose his own accommodation. Once Lin Tian had chosen a place, he eagerly inquired about the agreement mentioned the previous day.
Upon hearing this, Harry's expression turned slightly grave, and he slowly said, "Actually, I'm not entirely clear on the specifics either. I only know that there seem to be other forces behind the guardians of that plane, so the three of them had no choice but to agree to sign the agreement. And I can tell you definitively that the three of them have never been to the seven divine planes or the four supreme planes."
Lin Tian became even more puzzled after hearing this, and then asked, "Were those profound and mysterious knowledge, as well as the knowledge of fusion, summarized by our ancestor?"
Harry shook his head and said, "It wasn't summarized by the ancestor. You'll only know the specifics when you reach the lower god realm."
Lin Tian felt helpless, but he did not give up. Instead, he asked, "Great-grandfather, how can one become a god? What situations will one encounter during the process of becoming a god?" Lin Tian was making his own calculations in his mind, trying to use this to introduce the difference between becoming a god outside the body and becoming a god inside the body.
