"Hm?"

Pash noticed Kakqi, his brow twitching slightly. However, he didn't step forward to speak immediately.

Most ordinary powerful individuals disliked trouble. But for Sovereign Gods, it was different; they were too bored. Often, encountering some "trouble" could pique their interest considerably.

"Morit, put away your God's Domain."

Lota had also naturally noticed Kakqi approaching and said casually, "Yes."

Morit bowed slightly and then retracted his God's Domain. His golden eyes fixed on Kakqi and his maid as they approached. The Overlord might not care about Kakqi, but as the Overlord's Emissary, he naturally opposed Kakqi's actions.

Kakqi walked up to Lota's table, his gaze sweeping over the group, his brow furrowing unnaturally.

Then, Kakqi's God's Domain enveloped the surroundings once more. He looked at Lota, changed his Soul Aura back, and directly stated, "Kakqi wishes to challenge the two of you. Do you accept?"

He rarely hid his identity when challenging powerful individuals. This was out of respect for the strong, and also a sign of confidence in his own strength.

"Challenging my lord? You think you're worthy?!"

Morit narrowed his golden eyes, looking at Kakqi, his tone confrontational.

Kakqi's strength was decent among the Asuras, but the target he chose was clearly wrong.

Hearing Morit's words, Kakqi's brow furrowed, and he felt a flicker of displeasure. In his opinion, Morit was at most a Seven-star Devil-level High God.

If they were elsewhere, he could have killed Morit with just that sentence, and no one would have said anything.

However, because he couldn't see through Lota and Pash, Kakqi didn't get angry directly. Instead, he looked at Lota and Pash and continued, "Do you two accept my challenge, Kakqi?"

On the Divine Plane, challenges between the strong were simple. Countless similar situations occurred, and countless powerful individuals perished because of them.

"Heh heh, a challenge?"

Pash chuckled. "It's been countless years since I've encountered something like this."

Then, Pash looked at Lota. Although Blood Peak Continent was his territory, Lota was, after all, an Overlord. For something like this, he decided to defer to Lota's opinion.

If Lota was bored and wanted some amusement, it wasn't impossible.

"Let's forget about challenging us."

Lota chuckled and shook his head. He and Pash were Sovereign Gods, after all. Even if they had hidden their identities, there was no need to accept a challenge from a God-level being.

Sovereign Gods and Gods were entirely different life forms.

Below Sovereign Gods, all are ants. This saying wasn't just for show. In his "Earth Memory," Linley was considered a so-called "protagonist of destiny," which was why many Sovereign Gods didn't treat Linley poorly.

But once one became a Sovereign God, the change in life level meant that Sovereign Gods wouldn't pay much attention to Gods. Linley was merely an "exception."

Accepting a challenge from a God-level being in front of another Sovereign God would only be embarrassing.

However, Lota was also bored. He continued, "But since we have nothing to do, if you want a fight, Morit, you can spar with Kakqi."

He had originally thought that Kakqi might be pursuing Calorona and would eventually fight her. Calorona wasn't weak; even if she couldn't defeat the current Kakqi, she likely had some ability to fight back.

He hadn't expected Kakqi to come looking for them first.

"Yes, my lord."

Hearing Lota's arrangement, Morit immediately agreed.

Although he was only here with his Fire Element Divine Clone, and not his strongest form, he was confident he wouldn't lose to Kakqi.

"Morit?"

Kakqi was slightly stunned upon hearing the name, a hint of familiarity crossing his brow. "Morit..."

There were countless lives on the Divine Plane, so names were naturally repeated. However, the names of powerful individuals were rarely repeated. Especially for super-experts, there were usually detailed records in the Sovereign Gods' castles.

Morit was naturally among them.

However, Morit had only been famous in the Dark God Plane before. Kakqi didn't have much contact with the experts of the Dark God Realm. He only knew the name Morit.

"You're the Prefect of the Darkness Prefecture in the Dark God Realm?!"

Kakqi looked at Morit, his heart involuntarily quickening.

If that were true, then the identities of the two people he had just intended to challenge needed no further guessing!

Among God-level experts, Morit belonged to the category of "cannot be provoked." Apart from Paragon High-Gods, it was unlikely anyone could definitively claim victory over Morit.

Morit had been a Sovereign's Emissary countless years ago, conquering planes for the Sovereign God. He was once the protagonist of an era. His position as Prefect of Darkness Prefecture had remained unshaken for countless years, which was enough to show his strength.

Without waiting for Morit to admit it, Kakqi decisively knelt on one knee. "Kakqi greets the Sovereign God! Sovereign God, please forgive my transgression!"

Seeing Kakqi's reaction, the maid following behind him was first startled. A Sovereign God?! The person in front of them was a Sovereign God? Although it seemed incredible, she didn't believe Kakqi would make a mistake in this situation.

After all, with Kakqi's strength and status, he wouldn't need to kneel even when facing a Paragon High-God.

She then hurriedly followed Kakqi and knelt down.

Because of the God's Domain, the other people in the restaurant didn't know what they were saying. But seeing two High Gods suddenly kneel towards the others, they naturally all turned their attention.

"Your reaction is quite swift."

Lota shook his head, his voice calm. "Get up."

He didn't hide Morit's identity, so he didn't think about hiding his own. If he truly wanted to hide his identity, he would have changed his appearance. He wouldn't even have brought Morit with him.

"Thank you, Sovereign God."

Kakqi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, his tone respectful. After standing up, his previous attitude was gone.

"Kakqi, did you come to Red Maple Prefecture to challenge Quinsang?"

Lota asked casually.

"Replying to the Sovereign God, that is correct."

Kakqi replied respectfully.

"Quinsang is not weak. Do you have the confidence to deal with him?"

Pash also spoke with a smile at this moment.

Quinsang was also a Sovereign's Emissary, but not Pash's emissary. He was an emissary of the Sovereign God Bifu. Sovereign's Emissaries were not necessarily Prefects in their respective Sovereign God's territories.

If anyone else had asked, he would not have answered, but facing two Sovereign Gods, he naturally dared not conceal anything and said directly, "Replying to the Sovereign God, if it were before, I would not have had enough confidence. But now, I have at least a fifty percent chance of defeating Quinsang."

"Oh?"

Pash was a little surprised. "A fifty percent chance?"

Quinsang was already a top Asura expert, and he possessed a material attack Sovereign Artifact. Having a fifty percent chance of defeating Quinsang, this Kakqi was truly confident.

"Are you also a Sovereign's Emissary now?"

Pash raised an eyebrow slightly and asked.

If Kakqi were now a Sovereign's Emissary and possessed a Sovereign Artifact, his strength would indeed increase significantly. But even so, a fifty percent chance of defeating Quinsang was still not very realistic.

Kakqi shook his head. "Replying to the Sovereign God, no Sovereign God has taken Kakqi as an emissary."

Sovereign's Emissaries were the true peak figures of the God level. Countless experts dreamed of becoming Sovereign's Emissaries, but there was a numerical limit to Sovereign's Emissaries, making it extremely difficult to become one.

Even for a Prefect, being accepted as an emissary by a Sovereign God was not a simple matter.

"Then I am somewhat looking forward to seeing what methods you have."

Pash smiled and didn't ask further. Clearly, he also wanted to watch the battle between Kakqi and Quinsang.

"Do you want to become the Prefect of Red Maple Prefecture?"

Lota asked.

Generally, after winning a challenge against a Prefect, one could become the new Prefect. However, Kakqi stepped down from the position of Prefect billions of years ago. Now he wanted to become Prefect again?

"Replying to the Sovereign God, Kakqi is only here for the battle, not for the position of Prefect."

Kakqi's tone became much more formal.

"Mm."

Lota nodded, then suddenly said, "Then let's spar with Morit first."

Although Kakqi no longer had any intention of sparring with Morit in his heart, since Lota had already spoken, Morit and Kakqi would inevitably spar.

"Yes."

Kakqi felt a little helpless in his heart, but he didn't dare to object.

"Let's set it for three days later, on the Barren Mountain outside the city."

Lota said directly.

Watching some battles was also a way to pass the time. Moreover, he had some guesses about Kakqi's methods. This would also be a way to verify them.

"Yes!"

"Yes."

Morit and Kakqi both responded respectfully.

"Alright, you may go."

Lota said directly.

"Yes, Kakqi takes his leave."

Kakqi bowed slightly and then carefully left the restaurant with the maid. It wasn't until he left the restaurant that Kakqi's heart calmed down slightly. He truly couldn't have imagined that he would end up challenging a Sovereign God.

That the Sovereign God didn't kill him directly was already his immense luck.

"If Sir wishes to watch a battle, there will be a rather lively one happening soon."

After Kakqi left, Pash smiled. "It's in this Red Maple Prefecture. Although the two combatants are only Seven-star Devils, it involves a Sovereign God's family. The commotion is quite significant, attracting many people."

"A Sovereign God's family?"

Lota became interested.

There were over seventy Sovereign Gods, but less than half of them had established families.

Pash smiled. "It's the Lius family from the Four Divine Beast Families."

"The Lius family?"

Lota's brow furrowed slightly.

The Four Divine Beast Family was spread across the Divine Plane, with many clan members even in the Dark God Plane.

The group of Four Divine Beasts was classified at the Overlord level. The families established by the Four Divine Beasts were naturally extremely powerful. Of course, the most miraculous aspect of the Four Divine Beast Family was their talent divine power awakening pool.

Among Super Divine Beasts, only the Four Divine Beasts could actively awaken the bloodlines of their descendants.

Precisely because they had many powerful family members, the Four Divine Beast Family was quite arrogant on the Divine Plane. Even many families guarded by Asura powerhouses had considerable enmity with the Four Divine Beast Family.

Thinking of this, Lota secretly shook his head. The future decline of the Four Divine Beast Family was not without reason.

Lota's eyes narrowed slightly, his thoughts stirring. If the subsequent development was the same as the "Earth Memory," then Augusta might have already set his sights on Leiding and the others.

Regarding Augusta's specific reason for killing the Four Divine Beasts, the "Earth Memory" did not mention much. However, based on speculation, it was likely Ofu's intention.

Perhaps Ofu's research had also reached its final stage, and his strength had likely surpassed Uthred's.

This Ofu was truly a madman.

Lota's heart grew a bit heavier. Possessing the "Earth Memory," he had naturally tried to research some moves and ultimate techniques, but the gains were not significant.

Not everyone could improve their strength through research.

After being unable to improve his strength much through research, Lota could only place his hope for strength improvement on the "System" and Linley.

From this perspective, deep down, he actually hoped that Augusta would kill Leiding and the others.
