I've Become the Sovereign God, and the System Only Just Activated

The red-haired girl raised an eyebrow, leaning back lazily on the throne. "They've been causing trouble for so many years. It would be too cruel not to give them a chance to show off. Let them fight."

As if thinking of something, the red-haired girl's expression became even more amused, a beautiful smile playing on her lips. "Someone probably wants them to fight even more than we do. We can make our move after there's a result."

Then, the girl's voice drifted, "By then, we'll see who gets what they want."

Heavenly Realm, Augusta Garden. This is an extremely magical place in the Heavenly Realm. It is also the permanent residence of one of the Four Great Rule Rulers, the Fate Overlord.

In a quiet room, the kind-faced Ofu sat at a table, opposite him was the Light Overlord, Augusta.

Augusta's eyes flickered as he looked at Ofu and said directly, "Ofu, Lota suddenly made a move. Did he discover something?"

Ofu smiled amiably, not answering Augusta's question. Instead, he said, "Lota is an Overlord after all. It's normal for Leiding and the others to provoke him, and for him to maintain his dignity."

As he spoke, Ofu changed the subject, advising, "Since Lota has stepped in, you don't need to make a move. It's too chaotic among the Sovereign Gods, and that's not good."

Augusta frowned and snorted, "Those guys, Leiding and the others, have always been against me. If they can kill Lota's fallen angels now, they might not hesitate to kill my bright angels. Are you telling me to be like Lota and counterattack later?"

"Hmph, I'm not Lota."

He paused, Augusta's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he were contemplating something.

Seeing Augusta like this, Ofu felt a bit helpless. He couldn't influence Augusta's thoughts. "In that case, you act according to the situation. Uthred and the others should also make a move then. However, I estimate that no one will stand by and watch others gain anything."

"After all, no one wants the current balance among the Sovereign Gods to be broken."

Ofu sighed, it was unclear who he was sighing for.

"However, if you and Lota succeed, perhaps no one will care too much."

Ofu looked at Augusta, his voice calm.

In the understanding of all Sovereign Gods, Lota and Augusta did not have divine clones. Even if they obtained an additional Sovereign Spark, it would not increase their strength.

"Hmm?"

Augusta's brow furrowed, and he looked at Ofu with some surprise. "You think Leiding and the four of them can't kill Lota?"

They all had a rough idea of how strong the Four Divine Beasts were. Otherwise, they wouldn't have ranked the Four Divine Beasts among the Overlord level.

Moreover, even among the Overlords, the Four Divine Beasts were second only to the Four Great Rule Rulers. Among the Law Overlords, no one was their opponent. At least, on the surface, no one could withstand their innate divine powers.

The reason Augusta was confident in killing Leiding and the four of them was mainly due to Ofu, and Ofu's soul-defending supreme artifact.

Besides himself, he didn't believe anyone among the Law Overlords could be an opponent of the Four Divine Beasts.

But now, Ofu's words clearly suggested that Leiding and the four of them might fall. Could Lota kill the Four Divine Beasts?

Mentioning Lota, Ofu's expression remained unchanged. "No Overlord is an ordinary person. You never pay enough attention to others. You are too careless."

As he spoke, Ofu looked at Augusta and explained, "You should be very clear about the battle among the eleven Overlords at the beginning of heaven and earth."

"Haven't we eleven fought each other before?"

Ofu's tone was quite serious. "At that time, none of us had supreme artifacts, but I had already reached the Grand Perfection realm. Although my body was slightly weaker than Uthred and the others at the time, my strength was not much different."

"But, you know, I fought Lota many times, and Lota was never at a disadvantage. I even secretly observed Lota fighting Uthred, and he was not at a disadvantage either."

Ofu's voice was calm as he looked at Augusta, his eyes clear and his tone without much fluctuation. "Uthred was at the Grand Perfection realm at that time, and he was a super divine beast. His body was comparable to a sovereign artifact, and his strength was the strongest among the Overlords back then. Even with Uthred being held back by us, it doesn't negate Uthred's strength. In this situation, Lota was not at a disadvantage. Don't you still know what this means?"

Hearing Ofu's direct analysis, a hint of focus appeared in Augusta's eyes. "Are you saying Lota is likely Grand Perfection?!"

"At least it can be confirmed that Lota's strength at that time was not as it appeared on the surface; he surpassed many people."

Ofu corrected him. "And with such strength, the possibility of Lota being Grand Perfection is very high."

"How is that possible!"

Augusta couldn't believe it. "If Lota is Grand Perfection, why would he still compete with me for the faith of the material plane? He can't be Grand Perfection."

Faith greatly aided Sovereign Gods in merging profound mysteries. The War of Faith erupted because of this. Why were the Light and Darkness Sovereign Gods competing so fiercely for the faith of the material plane if not to break through to the Grand Perfection realm?

If Lota had already reached Grand Perfection, he wouldn't value the power of faith so much.

Of course, Augusta also felt a sense of imbalance in his heart. He had always been the strongest among the Law Overlords. Having the Four Great Rule Rulers above him already made him feel unbalanced.

If Lota were Grand Perfection, his status would be even slightly higher than his. How could he accept that?

Ofu smiled, looking up slightly outside, his tone enigmatic. "The Supreme God only said that spreading the power of faith can promote the fusion of profound mysteries, but when did the Supreme God ever say that the power of faith can promote the Grand Perfection realm?"

"Is Grand Perfection something that can be achieved just by relying on the power of faith?"

Ofu chuckled lightly, then slowly looked at Augusta. "If that were the case, all Sovereign Gods would be Grand Perfection."

Augusta's mind roared.

He, or rather, most Sovereign Gods, seemed to have overlooked this point.

Grand Perfection had never been achievable through the power of faith.

In fact, when Ofu was explaining just now, he had already believed him. It was just that now he had to accept Ofu's guess.

"Perhaps Lota is just using the competition for faith to conceal himself. Or perhaps it's for the fallen god angels. Only he knows the reason."

Seeing Augusta's displeased expression, Ofu didn't pay too much attention and explained, "As for why no one has been able to determine the level of Lota's soul, I suspect that the Grand Perfection of the Dark Law might have some techniques for concealment that we cannot comprehend."

"After all, in this world, no one has truly reached the Grand Perfection realm of the Dark Law yet."

Ofu said slowly.

There are less than thirty experts suspected to be Paragon High-Gods between heaven and earth. What's more, it's only suspected. This means that if we exclude the divine clones of Sovereign Gods and some extremely powerful beings, the true Grand Perfection experts are at most thirteen or fourteen.

And among these thirteen or fourteen Grand Perfection experts, not a single one is a Dark Paragon High-God. Naturally, no one knows anything about the situation of Dark Grand Perfection.

"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?" Augusta asked, his tone displeased.

He and Ofu had a Supreme God oath. Until the final stage, they would not probe each other's souls. Otherwise, he would have guessed Lota's situation long ago.

Ofu didn't care about Augusta's tone. He just shook his head gently and said, "I only confirmed it not long ago. Before, I only knew that Lota's strength was very strong. I wasn't sure if it was because of Lota's realm, body, or techniques, so there was no need to say more."

"Then why are you sure now that Lota is at the Grand Perfection realm?" Augusta narrowed his eyes slightly.

In his opinion, Ofu likely had evidence now. Lota, you've been hiding well.

"It's not a certainty, but about eighty percent likely." Ofu nodded casually and continued, "You should know that Lota sent out twelve Commander-level Fallen God Angels to kill people from the Four Divine Beast Families in the Dark God Realm."

Augusta nodded. It was this incident that made even the Sovereign Gods start paying attention to the Dark System Sovereign God and the Four Divine Beasts. "Is this related?"

Ofu smiled. "After I heard about the battle in Kalu City in the Dark God Realm, I paid attention to these Fallen God Angels. After all, according to many people's descriptions, the power of that move was a bit too great."

"Later, I discovered that among these twelve Fallen God Angels, there was one named Christine who was a bit different."

Ofu's eyes lit up slightly, clearly showing some admiration for Christine. "That Christine could easily defeat her opponents in every battle. Based on the techniques she used, she had fused at least five Profound Mysteries. Most importantly, the five Profound Mysteries fused in these techniques were not fixed."

As he spoke, Ofu looked at Augusta and said, "Being able to do this means Christine has a fifty percent chance of having fused six Profound Mysteries. You should know very well that the number of Profound Mysteries fused by a God Angel is also influenced by the Sovereign God."

"Therefore, Lota has at least an eighty percent chance of being at the Grand Perfection realm." Ofu's tone became more certain, and his eyes were filled with admiration. "Lota can use the Rebirth Pool to create God Angels of this level. This opportunity is truly enviable."

Ofu understood the situation of God Angels very well.

Christine was a being with the potential for Grand Perfection in her previous life. It was indeed a heaven-defying opportunity for Lota to find such a soul. The probability of this was only slightly less than Lota himself reaching Grand Perfection.

If the Light God Angels also had God Angels of this level, he was confident he could win ten consecutive victories in the Plane Battlefield again.

But it was too difficult to have such a God Angel.

Not to mention the rarity of souls, Augusta himself was not a Grand Perfection of Light, so he couldn't fuse six techniques.

"This Lota..." Augusta's eyes flickered.

"Since Lota has released Christine, I don't think he plans to hide himself anymore," Ofu guessed. "If Leiding and the others thought a bit more, or knew the strength Lota displayed during the Overlord War, perhaps they wouldn't have had such a conflict with Lota."

He paused, then changed the subject and continued, "If Lota were to go all out, the possibility of Leiding and the others falling is no less than your intervention. It won't be so easy for you to obtain the Sovereign Spark then."

Augusta's eyes unconsciously narrowed. After a moment, he said, "Don't worry. Since I know Lota's strength, I will be vigilant."

"Lota wants to kill Leiding and the others, but he'll have to see if he can be faster than me," Augusta added.

Although he was shocked by Lota's realm, it was only a slight imbalance in his heart.

In terms of strength, he had a Supreme Artifact, and his soul also had an extra portion of Willpower Might. These two points were enough to bridge the gap of Grand Perfection. Besides, his body was only slightly weaker than Ofu's, and it was also close to the Sovereign Artifact level.

He didn't believe Lota's body could be stronger than his?

With this, even if Lota appeared in a conflict, and couldn't kill Lota, Lota wouldn't be able to snatch the Sovereign Spark from him.

As for Leiding and the others?

He had never paid attention to them.

Dark God Realm, Darkness Prefecture.

Phantom Mountain.

For most God-level experts, they didn't know that Phantom Mountain was the location of the Sovereign God. The reason so many God-level experts gathered here was because the phantoms covering the outside of Phantom Mountain would give birth to an extremely precious treasure—the Phantom Dark Bead.

The Phantom Dark Bead was somewhat similar to the Soul Gold Bead. It was also a supreme treasure for replenishing Soul Power, but its color was dark black.

Most importantly, the speed at which the Phantom Dark Bead replenished Soul Power was more than a hundred times that of the Soul Gold Bead. For the weakness of the soul being split into two after becoming a god externally, the Phantom Dark Bead had a strong recovery effect.

Therefore, in the Dark God Realm, and even in other planes, the Phantom Dark Bead had always been a treasure that was hard to come by.

Naturally, Phantom Mountain, where Phantom Dark Beads were born, attracted countless God-level experts.

Of course, Phantom Mountain was not a safe place. The phantoms here were extremely dangerous. Once one entered the range of the phantoms, their Spiritual Sense would be greatly restricted, and they would continuously suffer a special kind of "Soul Attack."

Initially, this soul attack was not strong. Even an ordinary Middle God could easily withstand it. However, the most bizarre thing was that this soul attack seemed to accumulate over time.

It was rumored that even a powerful Seven-Star Shadow Walker could not stay in these phantoms continuously for more than a hundred years!

In addition, Phantom Mountain had a special kind of "life"—the Phantom Beast.

To many God-level experts, Phantom Beasts were not life forms at all. These things had no bodies. Like the phantoms covering the outside of Phantom Mountain, they were "shadows" attached to the ground, except that these shadows could move a certain distance away from Phantom Mountain.

Strangely, these "shadows" could form a kind of soul attack, actively attacking any life they encountered.

One or two wouldn't amount to much, but once a phantom beast tide appeared, with tens or even millions of phantom beasts emerging, it would be terrifying. Even a High God could fall if not careful.

"Sigh, a hundred years, and I haven't even seen a single phantom dark bead."

A Minotaur God couldn't help but complain to his companion.

"Alright, it's only been a hundred years. I've been here for five hundred, and I'm still empty-handed," the other burly God said. "You should look on the bright side. While we haven't found any phantom dark beads, we also haven't encountered a phantom beast tide, right? How many unlucky fellows met their end in a beast tide within their first year here? We're quite lucky."

"Uh, if you put it that way, I guess you're right." The Minotaur God scratched his head.

But the next second, the Minotaur God asked puzzledly, "Could it be because we're too far from Phantom Mountain? I heard recently that the closer you get to Phantom Mountain, the higher the chance of phantom dark beads appearing. We're almost out of the Darkness Mountain Range here, aren't we?"

The Darkness Mountain Range was the collective name for Phantom Mountain and the countless peaks beyond it.

"Ahem." The burly God coughed twice before saying, "That's what they say, but I stand by my words: it's safe here. Do you want to search for phantom dark beads safely, or do you want to encounter a beast tide after finding one? Or perhaps fight others for it?"

The Minotaur God paused slightly before nodding. "You're right."

Just then, a figure rapidly flew in the distance, heading straight towards them.

The two didn't notice the approaching person at first. After all, a God's spiritual sense didn't reach very far, and without combat, it was often less convenient than their eyes. By the time they noticed, the person was already close.

A High God!
