Hearing the White Tiger Sovereign God's words, Bert couldn't help but glance at Kakqi, inwardly shocked. This guy's strength seemed terrifying.

Otherwise, there was no way the Old Ancestor would treat him like this.

He knew the Old Ancestor had two Emissaries. Taking this guy as an Emissary would surely mean one Emissary would be "Fallen." If he wasn't incredibly strong, the Old Ancestor wouldn't have done it.

Kakqi was also slightly stunned. Taking him as an Emissary?

It seemed to be similar to what he had imagined before. The secret of his soul mutation being exposed would attract the attention of a Sovereign God. The Overlord had taken him in before, and now this Sovereign God wanted him too.

He was lucky that the first Sovereign God he met was the Overlord.

Then, Kakqi's tone became respectful, "Apologies, Sovereign God, but Kakqi is already a Sovereign's Emissary."

"Hmm?"

The White Tiger Sovereign God was somewhat surprised, but his tone revealed no emotion, "You are a Sovereign's Emissary?"

There were only a little over seventy Sovereign Gods, and their Emissaries were almost all super strong individuals famous throughout the Divine Plane. He knew almost all of them.

This Kakqi before him was not a Sovereign's Emissary.

If he truly were a Sovereign's Emissary, it would likely be within the last hundred years. Because if a God-level strong person became a Sovereign's Emissary, other Sovereign Gods would almost certainly hear about it from their own Emissaries within a century.

Could it be Pash?

This was the first thought of the White Tiger Sovereign God.

Pash was, after all, the Sovereign God of the Blood Peak Continent, and he scanned the continent the most often. Only he was most likely to have discovered Kakqi.

Not Pash.

Almost instantly, the White Tiger Sovereign God dismissed his previous guess. This was because he discovered that Pash's two Emissaries, Reynalds and Mold, were still alive.

A Sovereign God could investigate the Divine Plane with just a thought. Let alone just investigating the Blood Peak Continent.

"Whose Emissary are you?"

The White Tiger Sovereign God asked directly.

If he had encountered Kakqi elsewhere, upon learning that Kakqi was a Sovereign's Emissary, he might have left directly. But in this situation, he asked one more question.

Because the White Tiger Sovereign God couldn't quite understand why Kakqi, if he truly was a Sovereign's Emissary, would interfere in the affairs of the Four Divine Beast Families?

If it were just Kakqi's own actions, it would be fine. But if it was at the behest of the Sovereign God behind him, then he needed to pay attention. Sovereign's Emissaries were servants of Sovereign Gods, but many things were done by Sovereign's Emissaries only after receiving instructions from their Sovereign God.

Moreover, the Sovereign Gods were not that harmonious among themselves.

They had almost all fought their way through from the Beginning of Heaven and Earth, and many even held grudges. However, due to the Sovereign God's agreement, they generally wouldn't engage in combat.

Although Sovereign Gods wouldn't interfere in battles between gods, it didn't mean Sovereign Gods couldn't intervene.

If a Sovereign God were truly targeting the Four Divine Beast Families, he wouldn't stand by and do nothing.

Just then, another fluctuation appeared in the heavens and earth.

Countless energies gathered out of thin air, and an area resembling a "Black Hole" even appeared. Strangely, this black hole seemed to be emitting light, which was very peculiar.

The White Tiger Sovereign God looked towards the area where the energy appeared. "Dark Lord God?"

When a Sovereign God wished to appear, their form was arbitrary. But no matter the form, their Sovereign Power could not change.

This energy was precisely the power of the Dark Lord God.

There were seven Dark Lord Gods. Unlike other Sovereign Gods, this lineage of Sovereign Gods, perhaps influenced by the Dark Overlord, rarely appeared. The only thing that drew attention was their control over the Material Plane; the Darkness System Sovereign Gods had never given up on it.

However, this was also related to the specialty of the Dark Lord Gods. After all, for the Dark Lord Gods to obtain Fallen Angels, they needed special souls. And these souls almost all came from countless Material Planes.

Now, the Power of Faith no longer had the same effect on Sovereign Gods as before. Apart from the Light Lord God and the Dark Lord God, few Sovereign Gods paid too much attention to the Material Plane.

Therefore, they let the Light Lord God and the Dark Lord God expand their influence in the Material Plane.

Among the seven Darkness System Sovereign Gods, the most ancient and mysterious was that Dark Overlord. In terms of age, the Dark Overlord was older than all the Sovereign Gods.

Although the Death Overlord and the Destruction Overlord were the first life forms in the Underworld and Hell, the Dark Overlord was born in the Material Plane. When he was born, the Supreme God had not yet created the Supreme Plane.

In the blink of an eye, the Dark Lord God's power coalesced into a figure shrouded in darkness.

This was a Projection Clone condensed using Sovereign Power, possessing the same might as the Projection Giant Face. However, most Sovereign Gods, for a sense of mystery, appeared in the form of a giant face before God-level strong individuals.

"Dark Overlord."

After the figure appeared, the White Tiger Sovereign God was truly a bit surprised.

"Kakqi greets the Overlord."

Upon seeing Lota appear, Kakqi hurriedly bowed.

As for Bert beside him, he was even more shocked. Another Sovereign God had appeared! Especially hearing the Old Ancestor's words, his heart couldn't help but race.

It was actually an Overlord!

As a member of a Sovereign God family, he was very clear about the status of an Overlord. They were the most powerful existences among a system's Lord Gods! There were only eleven such beings in the entire world.

If an Overlord wished, they could completely create a powerful family that was no less than the Four Divine Beast Families. It was rumored that the Augusta Family, which contended with their Four Divine Beast Family for the title of "First Family," was backed by a powerful Overlord.

Therefore, no matter how arrogant Bert was, upon hearing "Dark Overlord," he couldn't muster any sense of glory.

Seeing that it was Lota who appeared, the White Tiger Sovereign God no longer maintained the Giant Face form. Instead, his Sovereign Power coalesced, finally forming a male figure shrouded in azure light.

"Lius has met the Dark Overlord."

The White Tiger Sovereign God also bowed slightly.

The Four Divine Beasts were powerful, even among Sovereign Gods, they were classified as Overlords. However, this was when the four of them joined forces, their fused Talent Divine Power could reach the Overlord level.

It did not mean their status was comparable to an Overlord.

It was like how, since the end of the War of Faith, even Law Overlords would often address the Four Great Rule Rulers as "Sir."

Even when they were both Overlords, or at the Overlord level, their status could vary to some extent.

Of course, due to the power of their fused Talent Divine Power, the Four Divine Beast Sovereign Gods, except for Ofu, the Fate Overlord, did not fear any other Overlords.

If there were any Overlords with whom the Four Divine Beasts had a rift, they would not bother maintaining superficial courtesy, and calling them by name would be perfectly normal.

Even if they didn't call them by name, they wouldn't call them "Sir."

The Four Divine Beast Sovereign Gods had that qualification.

Lota was very familiar with the Four Divine Beasts. After all, he and the Four Divine Beasts were among the first Sovereign Gods to survive since the creation of the world.

Of course, the Four Divine Beasts were mere juniors in front of him. When he achieved High God and ventured into the Supreme Plane, the Four Divine Beasts had only just begun to gain some fame.

"This Kakqi is my emissary."

Lota's voice rang out, carrying a hint of hoarseness.

Ever since he became a Sovereign God and the "System" was activated, he had been hiding himself from other Sovereign Gods, rarely using his true voice.

He knew that Kakqi's appearance might attract the attention of Sovereign Gods, but he hadn't expected Lius to appear in person.

"Lius was abrupt."

The White Tiger Sovereign God did not dwell on this. He was somewhat optimistic about Kakqi's three-attribute soul mutation, but that was all to him.

Since Kakqi was already an emissary of another Sovereign God, he naturally would not have any conflict with another Sovereign God over an emissary. Let alone the Dark Overlord, even a Lower Sovereign God would not do this.

After a simple "apology," the White Tiger Sovereign God stared at Lota and said directly, without any fluctuation in his tone, "Overlord, is there any reason for your emissary to interfere in the affairs of my Four Divine Beast Family?"

He didn't actually care about the affairs of the Four Divine Beast Family, but once it involved Sovereign Gods, he had to take it seriously.

However, no matter who it was, they were not afraid. Even Overlords were like this.

Although Lius's words were not abnormal, the "dominance" in his tone was undiminished. Hearing Lius's "dominant" tone, Lota's expression remained unchanged. "Do I need to tell you what I do?"

Lota had some expectations for the future in his "Earth Memory," but that didn't mean he would go against his original intentions because of it.

The Four Divine Beasts were powerful, and even their combined strength was comparable to an Overlord.

But it was only comparable.

If the Four Divine Beasts truly had a rift with him over certain matters, he was not worried.

After hiding for so many years, Lota's strength had not stagnated. Although he lacked a Supreme Artifact compared to Uthred and the others, he would at most be at a disadvantage. It would be almost impossible for them to kill him.

But the Four Divine Beasts?

He truly didn't take them to heart.

As for the Supreme God mission in "Earth Memory," he had naturally competed for it. However, this matter was not solely dependent on strength; luck played too large a role. In Lota's opinion, it even involved more luck than snatching a Sovereign Spark.

Especially since "Earth Memory" did not mention the specific details of the previous seven Supreme God missions, he had no idea where to start even if he wanted to plan.

Many times, after hearing about a Supreme God mission, it was almost completed, as if the rules of the world had bestowed a Supreme Artifact upon Uthred and the others. The only time the mission details were completely leaked was when Augusta completed it.

That time, Ofu personally intervened and obtained the final token. Facing Ofu, who likely already possessed two Supreme Artifacts, Lota had no good solution at the time.

It was only after failing the Supreme God mission that he shifted his focus entirely to "Earth Memory." For him, if he wanted to achieve another breakthrough in strength, he could only rely on this "System."

Hearing Lota's somewhat "tough" reply, the White Tiger Sovereign God frowned slightly, but he didn't show it. However, his tone did not retreat, and he intended to say more.

Just as Lius was about to speak, three more powerful energy fluctuations appeared beside him.

Instantly, three more figures formed, namely the Azure Dragon Leiding, the Vermilion Bird Nimo, and the Black Tortoise Bowen, all of the Four Divine Beasts.

"Dark Overlord."

As the three appeared, they stood beside the White Tiger Sovereign God. Standing together, the four of them exuded a very special harmony, and even their Sovereign Power auras were not as conflicting.

Lota had to sigh, the bloodline of the Four Divine Beasts was definitely one of the most miraculous bloodlines in this world.

At the same time, with the appearance of the three, the divine-level powerhouses around them could not help but feel a sense of fear. Even Kakqi found it difficult to move under this pressure.

"Heh, they've all shown up."

Lota was not nervous or surprised. The Four Divine Beasts were one entity. Their true forms rarely separated. They couldn't possibly not know about Lius's situation.

"Overlord, your emissary interfering in the affairs of the Four Divine Beast Family, there must be a reason, right?"

Leiding's green eyes stared at Lota, continuing the question Lius had previously asked.

Before, it was just Lius inquiring, representing only the White Tiger Sovereign God. Now that he spoke, he represented the Four Divine Beasts, beings whose status was no less than an Overlord.

Lota chuckled lightly, acknowledging the strength of the Four Divine Beasts. "Since you've all appeared, it's fine to tell you."

Hearing Lota's "softening" words, Leiding and the others showed no surprise.

However, Lota's next words made them somewhat displeased. "I plan to travel to the Ice Snow Mountain, and you clan members are obstructing me."

"Is that a reason?"

Lota looked at the four of them, Leiding, with a smile. His pure black eyes showed no sign of "shrinking back."

"Did the Overlord really send an Emissary to kill my clan members just for that?"

The Black Tortoise Sovereign also spoke.

Normally, if clan members were killed, they were killed. Provoking a Sovereign God was indeed deserving of death. But now that the four of them had appeared, this matter was no longer about a few clan members. It was about the reputation of the Four Divine Beast Family, about their reputation.

Subconsciously, they wanted Lota to know that the Four Divine Beasts also cared about their reputation.

But Lota's answer, in their eyes, was a complete slap in the face. He was going on a journey?

"Oh? And why not?"

Lota retorted.

Hearing Lota's words, and seeing that he had no intention of explaining further, the four of them looked displeased.

This Dark Overlord was truly going too far.

What kind of nonsense reason was this?

However, although they were annoyed, they didn't say anything more.

Lota didn't give the Four Divine Beasts face. No matter what they said, it would be useless. After all, Lota was an Overlord. And once Lota decided on something, these clan members would have died in vain.

"Naturally, but since my clan members provoked the Overlord, it won't be the Overlord who takes action."

Leiding stared at Lota. After a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice.

As his voice fell, Sovereign Power appeared around Leiding, transforming into countless rays of light that instantly merged into all the Four Divine Beast clan members present. Even High Gods, including Bert, all died.

This sudden turn of events greatly shook Kakqi's heart. He was filled with lingering fear.

"Let's go."
