Lightning Sovereign Descends-Are You a Paragon?

The Four Divine Beasts Family was simply too powerful, so it had made no small number of enemies abroad.

One could see as much from the eight clans of the Original Time and Space relocating to Hell and waging a final battle against the Four Divine Beasts Family.

But that was how this world worked. The weak were bullied. The Four Divine Beasts Family oppressed the eight clans, while the eight clans oppressed families even weaker than themselves.

Even the guards at the Plane Teleportation Array relied on their strength and status to bully Saint Domain experts or deities who had just arrived in the Supreme Planes. At the slightest disagreement, they would strike and kill them.

The strong preyed on the weak, and only the fittest survived. This had always been the eternal, unchanging law of this world.

The present Four Divine Beasts Family merely stood at the very top of the food chain among deities.

The family was vast and had countless members. Where there were good people, there would inevitably be bad ones. So long as those people did nothing to harm the family, Wyatt would not pay them much attention.

So long as the Four Divine Beasts remained, or so long as he, Wyatt, remained, the Four Divine Beasts Family would not fall.

The Tianji Mountain Range was as tranquil as ever.

Those who should cultivate cultivated, and those who should enjoy themselves did so.

This scene stood in stark contrast to the slaughter taking place elsewhere in Hell. If some deities saw this place, they would surely find it unreal, perhaps even wonder whether this was truly the Hell they knew.

However, one evening, a tremendous roar suddenly rang out across the Tianji Mountain Range—

"Rumble~~~"

The roar carried an astonishing distance. Nearly every member of the Azure Dragon Clan within the Tianji Mountain Range heard it. Even some family members in secluded cultivation were disturbed.

Almost everyone instinctively flew out of their residences and gazed into the distance, wanting to see what had happened.

In the sky above the northwestern corner of the Tianji Mountain Range, vast quantities of lightning-element Sovereign Power continuously gathered.

The amount of Sovereign Power was somewhat frightening. At this sight, the expressions of some Four Divine Beasts Family higher-ups changed slightly.

"I wonder which Lightning Overgod has come to our Four Divine Beasts Family, and for what purpose?"

Inside a grand hall somewhere in the Azure Dragon Clan, a middle-aged man wearing azure armor narrowed his eyes as he watched the Sovereign Power continuously gathering in the sky. His face was cold and resolute, with sharply defined features.

This middle-aged man in azure armor was Gaysleison, the current patriarch of the Four Divine Beasts Family's Azure Dragon Clan and the eldest son of the Sovereign Azure Dragon.

As the patriarch of the Azure Dragon Clan, Gaysleison was fairly powerful, ranking above average among Asuras.

While Gaysleison pondered, the Sovereign Power in the sky continued to gather. Before long, it formed an enormous purple face, surrounded by crackling purple arcs of lightning and radiating terrifying might.

"It's an Overgod!"

"This Overgod's aura clearly doesn't belong to our four ancestors. What is he doing at our Four Divine Beasts Family?"

"Judging by the face of that Sovereign Giant Face, he doesn't seem to have come with good intentions!"

For a time, the clan members of the Four Divine Beasts Family all had their own thoughts.

Yet before an Overgod, the nearby Four Divine Beasts Family members could only kneel on the ground and respectfully pay their respects.

"Wyatt, come out and see me."

The Sovereign Giant Face completely ignored the other clan members of the Four Divine Beasts Family. A moment later, it spoke in a calm voice.

The voice was flat, yet it seemed to possess a magical power, spreading through nearly half the Tianji Mountain Range.

"Hm?"

Wyatt, who was in Mist Valley, naturally heard the call.

As he narrowed his eyes, his divine sense immediately spread outward.

Unlike when he had been an Asura, Wyatt's divine sense now covered an extremely vast range.

Even in Hell, it was countless times stronger than the divine senses of Peak Asuras.

"A Lightning Overgod. Why has he come looking for me?"

Feeling the aura emanating from the Sovereign Projection, Wyatt frowned.

After thinking for a moment, he seemed to have realized something.

"Could it be because of that dead Korot?"

He had never had any dealings with any Lightning Overgod before.

For a Lightning Overgod to personally send a projection to the Tianji Mountain Range to find him, Wyatt could only think of Korot, who had died miserably in the Violet Material Plane.

Korot was a genius of the Hurrei Family. Therefore, the one who had appeared here had to be the Avatar Projection of Hurrei, the Lightning Sovereign.

"Korot wasn't even an Overgod's child. I never expected the Lightning Sovereign to personally come looking for me over him. It seems Hurrei had valued Korot greatly."

That was what Wyatt thought to himself.

Overgods stood above all else. Unless their own children were killed, they generally would not lower themselves to deal with deities.

But judging from Hurrei's appearance, he had clearly come to cause trouble.

After considering it for a moment, Wyatt decided to go out and take a look.

This was the territory of the Four Divine Beasts Family. Gaysleison, the family patriarch, was in the Tianji Mountain Range, and he possessed a Sovereign Scroll capable of summoning an Avatar Projection of the Sovereign Azure Dragon. If anything went wrong, the Sovereign Azure Dragon would certainly appear.

Another reason Wyatt was so fearless was that he had reached Paragon.

What the Lightning Sovereign had sent was merely an Avatar Projection. Such an Avatar Projection could not threaten a Paragon High-God.

"Whoosh!!"

Transforming directly into a streak of purple light, Wyatt flew toward the Lightning Sovereign's Avatar Projection.

Hurrei was not in a good mood.

Through the investigation conducted by his son Odis, Hurrei learned that Korot had gone to the Violet Material Plane with Wyatt and a group from the Augusta Family.

After using numerous connections to investigate the transmission records of the Plane Teleportation Array, Odis discovered that Wyatt alone had left the Violet Material Plane.

Korot and the others had vanished without a trace, while only Wyatt remained. The outcome was already obvious.

Hurrei had come to the Four Divine Beasts Family this time intending to kill Wyatt.

Hurrei had lost a genius first in this matter. If he killed Wyatt, the Four Divine Beasts would be in the wrong, and he believed they could only swallow their anger.

Without sparing a thought for the unlucky Augusta, who had suddenly lost nearly half his Sovereign's Emissaries and a family genius, Hurrei came directly to the Tianji Mountain Range where Wyatt lived.

That was how the scene of his appearance earlier had come about.

"Hm?"

Watching Wyatt turn into a streak of light and fly toward him, Hurrei, who had originally been ready to kill, suddenly let out a soft cry of surprise.

That was because Hurrei discovered that Wyatt possessed Willpower within his body!

For a deity to possess Willpower, the meaning behind it was self-evident.

"Wyatt, you've actually reached Paragon?"

Hurrei's voice carried even a trace of astonishment. When he spoke those words, every member of the Four Divine Beasts Family in the Tianji Mountain Range heard them clearly.

"What? Elder Wyatt has reached the Paragon realm?"

"Is that true? Does that mean our Four Divine Beasts Family has gained another Paragon High-God?"

The shock felt by the Four Divine Beasts Family members now was even greater than when the Lightning Sovereign had arrived.

Gaysleison and the other elders widened their eyes, staring incredulously at the black-robed figure in the sky.

"No wonder his comprehension of the laws was so profound. So he had already reached Paragon. And here I was, treating him as an Asura before."

Somewhere in the Tianji Mountain Range, Natalia, the Patriarch of the Vermilion Bird Clan, who had yet to leave the mountain range, stared at the figure in the sky and muttered softly to herself.
