Secret of the Overlords

"Wyatt, although we have not met many times, as a member of the Four Divine Beasts Family, you certainly understand us well."

Leiding smiled without denying it, then added another reminder for Wyatt:

"For the time being, you had better not go to the Lightning God Plane. It is, after all, the Lightning Sovereign's territory. If anything happens to you, our plan will come to nothing. Then it will not only be us—the entire Four Divine Beasts Family will be doomed along with us!"

Leiding did not tell Wyatt when they would make their move against the Lightning Sovereign, but Wyatt could tell that it would definitely not be too far off.

At the very least, it would come countless ages earlier than the battle between the Four Divine Beasts and Augusta in the Original Time and Space.

Wyatt's appearance had already changed the fates of many people in the Four Divine Beasts Family.

Augusta had only managed to withstand the Four Divine Beasts' Combined Innate Divine Ability because he possessed Of's Soul Defense Overgod Artifact.

Now, it was impossible for the Lightning Sovereign to possess any Soul Defense Overgod Artifact. Therefore, Wyatt felt that the Four Divine Beasts had a very high chance of victory.

Thinking of Augusta, Wyatt felt that there were some matters he needed to give the Four Divine Beasts a slight warning about.

"Wyatt, speak freely. You are the true future of our Four Divine Beasts Family. Whatever you require, we will satisfy it. This is Spatial Turbulence. We can detect the divine sense of any Overgod, and none of our words can be heard by any other Overgod."

Seeing Wyatt's hesitant expression, the Black Tortoise Sovereign, who had remained silent at the side, revealed a faint smile.

Whether Lower Gods or Overlords, the Sovereign's Might flowing through an Overgod's body was of the same grade.

The divine sense formed from fused Sovereign's Might by a multi-element Soul Mutation Overgod could not be detected by other Overgods. Otherwise, any other Overgod would be able to sense the probing of an Overgod's divine sense.

"Four ancestors, while traveling through the Earth God Plane, I once encountered a remarkable race on the Basalt Continent."

Seeing that the Four Divine Beasts were all looking at him, Wyatt decided to tell them about the Bula Clan.

"The person I encountered on the Basalt Continent was only moderately strong by my standards, equivalent to a Seven-Star Devil of Hell. However, the unusual thing about his race was that he could split his original body into two clones with entirely different auras and personalities."

"As the original body split apart, his personality would also transfer into the different clones. One clone was greedy and domineering, filled entirely with negative emotions, while the other was focused and peaceful, intent only on cultivation and completely indifferent to matters among Deities."

Upon hearing Wyatt's words, the Four Divine Beasts could not help exchanging glances. Wyatt was clearly implying something.

"Four ancestors, the power of your Combined Innate Divine Ability is known to every Overgod. Lord Of once said that aside from Paragon-level Overlords, it would be difficult for the other Overgods to withstand it. But Augusta is an Overlord who has not even reached the Paragon level, and he does not possess a Soul Defense Overgod Artifact. What gives him the confidence to provoke you?"

To be safe, Wyatt chose to transmit these words through divine sense.

Although Wyatt did not spell it out, the Four Divine Beasts had lived for countless years. They were no fools, and in an instant, they understood the meaning behind his words.

"Wyatt, are you saying that Of and Augusta are the same person?"

Leiding narrowed his eyes. This shocking thought appeared in the minds of all four Divine Beasts at once.

Of's kindly disposition was well known among the Overgods, while Augusta's greed and tyranny were equally infamous.

Among all the Overgods, only those two matched the race Wyatt had described.

"If the Lord of Fate and the Lord of Light truly are the same person, then would the Lord of Fate not possess three more portions of Willpower than the other Law Overlords? And not only has the Lord of Light concealed one portion of Willpower, he can also use Of's Soul Defense Overgod Artifact. If we attack Augusta then, would we not be doomed beyond doubt?"

At this thought, the four of them even broke out in a cold sweat.

This was a trap—a trap capable of utterly killing the Four Divine Beasts!

If they fought Augusta, they would have no chance of victory whatsoever!

Although Wyatt's words were merely speculation, the string of coincidences greatly increased their credibility. The Four Divine Beasts would rather believe all of it than take the risk of attacking Augusta again.

"That race is called the Bula Clan. It is also an extremely rare race. Other than the Bula Clan member I encountered on the Basalt Continent of the Earth God Plane, I have never seen another. If the four ancestors are willing, you may travel to the Basalt Continent to investigate before long. That Bula Clan member is named Breiler!"

Wyatt spoke with great solemnity.

"No wonder Of and Augusta, despite having utterly different personalities, are so close. No wonder Augusta was always so aggressive and fearless whenever he met us. If this is true, then everything makes sense."

Of had never shown any intention toward the Four Divine Beasts because Augusta was the one playing the villain before others.

"This time, we truly have you to thank, Wyatt, for informing us of this. Otherwise, who knows how far things might have gone."

The Vermilion Bird Sovereign let out a long breath and nodded at Wyatt.

"Once we kill the Lightning Sovereign and make Wyatt an Overgod, Augusta will no longer be someone to fear. But Of is not only a Paragon—he also possesses two more portions of Willpower than a Paragon. Combined with his Supreme God Artifact and those Ultimate Moves he developed through countless years of seclusion, he is truly far too terrifying."

If the Lord of Fate and the Lord of Light truly were the same person, then at the very least, the Lord of Light could not be killed in the short period after Wyatt became an Overlord.

"We can foresee the methods of the Lightning Sovereign, the Lord of Light, and the Lord of Fate. What we do not know is what method the Lord of Destruction in Hell will use to obtain our Quintessential Blood."

Among the Overlords, especially those in the ranks of the Overlords, there truly were few simple figures.

Originally, Leiding and the others believed they understood the circumstances of every Overlord very well. Now, however, it seemed they had still underestimated some of them.

At the mention of the Lord of Destruction, Leiding sighed again and could not help explaining to Wyatt: "Although the Lord of Destruction is not an obsessive researcher detached from worldly affairs like Of, he is also a Super Genius in research. Through his own studies, he has created quite a few techniques."

"Although the Lord of Destruction has hidden himself deeply, the four of us naturally know that he has secretly been studying clan members of our Four Divine Beasts Family."

"Once his research reaches its final stage, the Lord of Destruction will certainly set his sights on the Quintessential Blood of the four of us. Therefore, the people we will face then will not be limited to the Lightning Sovereign and the others. They will also include the Lord of Destruction, one of the Four Rule Overlords!"

At this point, Leiding slowly turned, his gaze falling upon Wyatt. "Therefore, Wyatt, you must refine the Lightning Sovereign's Sovereign Spark. This is not only for your sake, but for the sake of the entire Four Divine Beasts Family!"

Then Leiding changed the subject again. "I have always been wondering about something. Since so many Overgods are studying our Innate Divine Abilities, why can't we study them ourselves? If you become the Lightning Sovereign, Wyatt, refine the Sovereign Sparks of the other elements, and can still use the Combined Innate Divine Ability of the four of us, could the Lord of Destruction still be your match? You already possess a Destruction High-God Clone. If you kill the Lord of Destruction and refine his Sovereign Spark and Supreme God Artifact, then among the Overlords, who could possibly be your opponent?"
