The Arrival of the Four Divine Beasts

"I merely broke through by luck. This little strength of mine is nothing compared to a Sovereign."

After arriving not far from Hurrei, Wyatt merely smiled faintly before speaking.

Paragons possessed a certain privilege: they did not need to kneel before an Overgod.

Seeing that Wyatt merely gave a slight bow and personally admitted that he was a Paragon, the Four Divine Beasts Family members below in the Tianji Mountain Range grew even more excited.

Their Four Divine Beasts Family had truly produced a Paragon High-God!

"Hmph. The Four Divine Beasts Family has produced quite a good seedling."

Hurrei's voice shifted from surprise back to emotionless calm. No one could guess what he was truly thinking.

After a moment of silence, Hurrei continued.

"Although you have become a Paragon, that does not mean I will simply let this matter go. Tell me, Wyatt, was the genius Korot of my family killed by you?"

The enormous Sovereign Giant Face stared fixedly at Wyatt. An invisible pressure spread outward, making many Four Divine Beasts Family members tremble inwardly upon feeling that terrifying might.

However, such petty tricks naturally meant nothing to Wyatt, who had already reached the Paragon realm. If it were pressure emitted by the Lightning Sovereign's Main Body, perhaps Wyatt would have felt burdened. But this was merely an Avatar Projection of the Lightning Sovereign.

Wyatt had long guessed what the other party would ask, so he had already prepared his response.

"Overgod, Korot was indeed not killed by me. Since you were able to find me, that means you investigated and discovered that I was not the only person who went to the Violet Material Plane. The ones who killed Korot were Yaro of the Augusta Family, as well as Augusta's Sovereign's Emissary Chegewen and the others."

What Wyatt said was indeed the truth.

He had not been the one to kill Korot. Back then, Augusta Family's Sovereign's Emissaries had been the most active in the Violet Material Plane. They had been the first to move, attempting to seize the Supreme God Token, and afterward they killed Korot. It was only that Wyatt had eventually wiped them all out.

"Hmph, ridiculous. That is merely your side of the story. Do you expect me to believe you based on your words alone? Should I interpret what you said as an attempt to stir up conflict between Augusta and me?"

A single statement was obviously not enough to convince the Lightning Sovereign. Besides, even if what Wyatt said was true, the Lightning Sovereign would still place the blame on Wyatt.

All those Augusta Family people were dead. Was the Lightning Sovereign supposed to reason with a group of dead men?

"Overgod, I can swear upon the Supreme God that if Korot was truly killed by me, then I shall immediately have my soul scattered and destroyed!"

Wyatt's words caused the Lightning Sovereign to fall silent.

He truly had not expected Wyatt to be so ruthless as to dare swear a Supreme God oath.

The binding power of a Supreme God oath was absolute.

Not only High-Gods—even Overgods like Hurrei did not dare casually make Supreme God oaths.

Wyatt's words were a killing blow.

"Wyatt, even if you did not personally kill Korot, do you dare say that his death had nothing at all to do with you?"

"Since you have reached Paragon, I respect you and do not intend to make things difficult for you."

"How about this? As long as you swear another oath to the Supreme God and serve me for one trillion years, this matter will be considered settled."

Hurrei's voice was cold, but his tone brooked no doubt.

His words made quite a few Four Divine Beasts Family members below clench their teeth.

Hurrei was not here to reason with them. He was clearly here to cause trouble.

However, the Four Ancestors had not appeared, and the Four Divine Beasts Family's divine-level experts were currently powerless against the Lightning Sovereign.

At this moment, Gaysleison, standing in the distance, was even preparing to use a Sovereign Scroll to summon his father's Avatar Projection.

If this continued, Wyatt would be at a disadvantage in his confrontation with Hurrei.

Once an Overgod refused to be reasonable, even a Paragon truly had no way to deal with it.

That was what most Four Divine Beasts Family members thought.

From today's matter, many Four Divine Beasts Family members had also come to understand that not every Overgod was worthy of respect.

After Hurrei spoke those words, Wyatt's expression darkened somewhat.

Korot's death had little to do with him in the first place, yet Hurrei was demanding that a Paragon like him swear a Supreme God oath to serve him. He was clearly making things difficult for Wyatt.

"What? You are unwilling?"

Seeing Wyatt's dark expression, the Sovereign Giant Face of the Lightning Sovereign curled its lips.

"If you had not become a Paragon, you would already be a corpse. Since you have reached Paragon, I respect you and acknowledge your talent, but that does not mean you can absolve yourself of this matter."

Hurrei had never had a good relationship with the Four Divine Beasts. Furthermore, Wyatt was a member of the Four Divine Beasts Family. Even if he had become a Paragon, he could not bring Hurrei the slightest benefit.

Coupled with Korot's matter, Hurrei naturally would not treat Wyatt kindly.

Since that was the case, Hurrei decided to see whether he could gain some benefit from Wyatt before the Four Divine Beasts appeared. As long as Wyatt made a Supreme God oath, even if the Four Divine Beasts learned of this afterward, they could not change the outcome.

Wyatt's expression was ugly. He dearly wanted to punch that Sovereign Giant Face, but reason told him that he absolutely could not do so now.

Although the strength of this Sovereign Giant Face could not threaten his Paragon avatar, if Wyatt made a move, it would truly confirm the charge of provoking an Overgod.

It was one thing not to act recklessly; perhaps the Overgod would not attack. But if he truly attacked an Overgod, then if the Lightning Sovereign's Sovereign Avatar decided to kill Wyatt, even the Four Divine Beasts would most likely be unable to protect him.

Then, in the very next instant.

Rumble!!!

Several more earthshaking explosions rang out from within the Tianji Mountain Range.

Not far from Hurrei and Wyatt, four vast streams of Sovereign's Might continuously gathered: Earth Sovereign Power, Fire Element Sovereign, Water Sovereign Power, and Wind Sovereign Power.

Four enormous faces, each carrying incomparable might, appeared in the skies.

After those four figures appeared, every member of the Four Divine Beasts Family was invigorated.

"It is the Four Ancestors!"

The four who had suddenly appeared were precisely the Avatar Projections of the Four Divine Beasts.

At this moment, the Four Divine Beasts had finally arrived!

"Ancestors."

Letting out a breath of relief, Wyatt slightly bowed toward the Four Divine Beasts' projections in greeting.

"Not bad. You reached the Paragon realm in less than a hundred million years of cultivation. You are even more talented than I imagined."

A voice of praise came from the enormous face formed from azure Water Sovereign Power.

The speaker was the strongest of the Four Divine Beasts, Azure Dragon Leiding!

"Hurrei, what kind of ability is it to come to my Tianji Mountain Range and threaten the clan members of my Four Divine Beasts Family? If you have the ability, try threatening the four of us instead."

As soon as Leiding finished speaking, his gaze slowly turned toward the Lightning Sovereign. His voice also turned icy.

"Leiding, the only person in my family with hope of becoming a Paragon died outside. Wyatt happened to be present at the time, and he was the only one who returned alive. Do you believe the death of the Hurrei Family's genius had nothing whatsoever to do with him?"

Facing Leiding and the other three, Hurrei showed no fear whatsoever. He merely gave a cold laugh and spoke calmly.

"So what if it had something to do with him? So what if it did not? Wyatt is a Paragon of my Four Divine Beasts Family. If you dare threaten him again, I will show you whether the power of our Combined Innate Divine Ability can threaten your Sovereign Avatar."

Leiding did not take Hurrei's words seriously at all. Even when facing the publicly acknowledged Strongest Law Sovereign, the four of them showed not the slightest fear.

"Leiding, you truly are domineering."

Hearing those words, Hurrei could not help but snort coldly.

"Domineering? That is merely the powerless excuse of the weak when speaking to the strong. Hurrei, before the four of us appeared, were you not quite domineering yourself?"
