Chapter 21: Higher God?
Below the god level, if one comprehends "the unity of nature and man", that is, comprehends a little bit of the profoundness of the law, one can break through the shackles and become a saint at the peak of the ninth level.

If one comprehends the mystery of the Rule of Three, he can be considered to be in the middle stage of the Saint Realm.

To comprehend the mystery of the Five-Point Rule is to enter the late stage of the Saint Realm.

He had comprehended 10% of the mysteries of the laws, which was considered the pinnacle of the holy realm.

If one can comprehend 99% of the mysteries of the laws, he can be considered the strongest below the god level.

This realm is also known as the "Sanctuary Limit".

Ceres, the emperor of the Frost and Snow Empire, sensed more than five points of the mysterious aura of the laws from Locke.

In other words, Locke can now be considered a powerful man in the late Saint Realm.

"With your strength, you can be the legion commander."

"It just so happens that more than 20 years ago, the fifth legion newly formed by my Frost and Snow Empire was destroyed by the Temple of Light."

Locke was silent.

In the battle more than 20 years ago, he was one of the members of the Fifth Legion.

If I didn't have some strength left, I might have been wiped out along with the main force.

"Over the years, I have formed another army and am preparing to attack the Temple of Light and take back the territory occupied by it."

"A new legion?"

Locke raised his head and asked Ceres in confusion: "But Your Majesty, I haven't heard any news about the Empire forming a new legion in these years?"

"Forming a legion was originally a signal to attack the Temple of Light."

"In fact, before I sensed your presence, I was very hesitant about forming this legion."

"So, when forming a new army, I asked the commander of the new army to recruit soldiers from other armies, so there was no large-scale conscription."

"I see."

Hearing what Ceres said, Locke suddenly realized.

If we draw personnel from other legions, we can form a new legion without having to recruit soldiers on a large scale.

Moreover, the combat power of this new legion is composed of many elite soldiers. In terms of combat power, it is much stronger than the Fifth Legion more than 20 years ago.

It seems that His Majesty the Emperor was not so open-minded about the destruction of the Fifth Legion last time.

Ceres put his hands behind his back and said to Locke, "Locke, do you know how the Fifth Legion was destroyed more than 20 years ago?"

Locke shook his head.

At that time, he was just a military magician of the Fifth Legion. How could he know how the Fifth Legion was destroyed?
He only knew that during a battle between the army and the Knights of the Temple of Light, several forbidden spells fell on the Fifth Legion's formation.

Then there is no more then.

He also relied on the ability of "Tianwu Baolun" to obscure vision and escaped from the siege of the Knights of the Temple of Light with difficulty.

"Hey."

Ceres sneered.

"Because the destructive power of a god-level warrior is too great. If the Pope of the Temple of Light and I fight to decide the winner, I'm afraid that by the time we're done, the entire Wakanda continent will be shattered by us."

"hiss……"

Hearing what Ceres said, Locke took a breath.

Although ordinary god-level warriors are very powerful, the entire continent of Wakanda will be shattered during the battle, which requires at least the strength of a higher god.

If Ceres was not bragging, does that mean that Ceres and the Pope of the Temple of Light are both powerful beings at the level of upper gods?
At that moment, Locke focused his mind and listened attentively to what His Majesty Ceres said.

"So, I made an agreement with the Pope of the Temple of Light." "Strong people above the god level cannot interfere in the war."

"The agreement stipulates that no matter whether it is the Temple of Light or the Frost and Snow Empire, as long as a Saint Domain strongman is born on either side, they will have a chance to take the initiative to attack."

"Of course, the newly promoted sanctuary does not have to take the initiative to attack. In this way, when it encounters an attack, it can participate in the war and fight back."

"More than 20 years ago, a new Saint was born in my Frost and Snow Empire. That Saint wanted to gain a larger territory, so he formed the Fifth Legion..."

"I didn't expect that those guys from the Temple of Light actually hid two Saints and ambushed and killed the Saints from my Frost and Snow Empire..."

"..."

This was the first time Locke had heard of such a thing.

However, this was also within Locke's expectations.

After all, if the powerful saints in the legion had not been killed, how could those forbidden spells have fallen into their own legion camp?
"Five years ago, another ninth-level warrior from my Frost and Snow Empire, Bolton, successfully ascended to the Holy Land. He also chose to form a legion to attack the Temple of Light."

"However, I will let him wait a little longer this time."

"I wonder if a miracle will happen if we wait a little longer. Will there be a second holy land in my Frost and Snow Empire?"

"Now it seems that I am very lucky."

"When the new legion was formed, I found you."

Locke pursed his lips.

He could never have imagined that what led to his discovery was an "expectation" of the Emperor of the Frost and Snow Empire.

As if he had seen through Locke's thoughts, Ceres smiled and said, "Little guy, don't be so unconvinced."

"Even if I don't expect a new holy domain to be born this time, I will use my divine sense to check in the Frost and Snow Empire every hundred years to see if there are any magical beasts or humans that have broken through the holy domain."

"After all, I'm not kidding when I create a kingdom in the material plane."

"If a sanctuary that is not under my control appears in my kingdom, I will send them out of the Wakanda plane."

"Even if you escape this time, I will find you in twenty years at most."

"But then you will face my forced expulsion."

After hearing what Ceres said, Locke breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, I am still too young.

After twenty years, Locke was not sure whether he could break through to the divine realm.

By that time, I would be expelled from the Wakanda plane and would be in danger of death in the God plane or the Supreme plane.

In this light, being discovered by Ceres this time was not something unacceptable.

After all, I can be considered to have been "whitewashed" to some extent.

"Your Majesty Ceres, have mercy."

After bending down and bowing to Ceres, Locke asked: "Then Your Majesty Ceres, I am willing to contribute my own strength to Your Majesty Ceres."

"Hahaha, good!"

Ceres laughed, reaching out and patting Locke on the shoulder a few times.

"Locke, I now appoint you as the commander of the Sixth Legion, the Tsunami Legion."

"The Tsunami Corps' base is in that direction."

"Once you have complete control of the legion, lead it through Bidiya Territory to take back the territory we lost more than 20 years ago!"
