Bian Continent

Bian Continent

In the Darkness Divine Plane, a blood-red full moon hung high in the sky. Boundless darkness blanketed the entire God Realm. The sky here always held only that blood moon—no sun, no stars, and never a day.

On Kes Continent, where the Sovereign Army's main headquarters was located, a burly, dark-skinned man was reveling in pleasure, riding hard and living it up. Suddenly, countless streams of Dark Sovereign Power gathered and formed a gigantic face, radiating boundless might. "Where is the Legion Commander? Bring him to me at once!"

The burly man was so frightened that he tumbled out of bed. He hurriedly switched to his clean, presentable Darkness Divine Clone, ran outside, and knelt. "Buklo pays his respects to the Chief God!"

Lincoln had just gone to pay Dark a visit and learned that his territory was Kes Continent, one of five continents. He had come to look around, but everywhere he went, the Sovereign Legion was already utterly corrupt. It was understandable, though. Aikes had fallen countless years ago. Aridona had managed Kes Continent before him, but at most, he would have appointed a Legion Commander. He wouldn't have bothered with these trivial matters.

In truth, Chief Gods never concerned themselves with such trivial matters. But whether their immediate superior was around or not still made a difference.

Lincoln went to find the Legion Commander, only to discover him indulging in pleasure. Lincoln had no intention of interfering. He simply issued his orders.

"By my command, from today onward, Kes Continent will be renamed Bian Continent, and the Kes Army will be renamed the Bian Army. The legion must also be strictly disciplined. If you fail to get it in order, you know what will happen! Also, prepare a record of missionary activity in the Material Plane and bring it to me." With that, the giant face vanished.

"Yes, I'll see to it, Buklo swears!" Buklo fearfully caught the items that appeared in midair. When he opened them, he found a book outlining the legion's new rules, a magic scroll for summoning the Chief God, and a bottle containing ten drops of Dark Sovereign Power. Only after the Chief God had left did he breathe a sigh of relief. Then his gaze turned resolute. "I have to get this done immediately, or I won't be able to bear the consequences if the Chief God gets angry. If these pieces of trash in the legion dare hold me back, I'll send them straight to Hell!"

After dealing with the Bian Army's Legion Commander, Lincoln flew back toward the Plane Teleportation Array. Bian sounded like the other shore, and Lincoln hoped that one day he could cross the sea of suffering, reach that other shore, and achieve true transcendence. Though he had struggled to become a Chief God, he was still infinitely far from becoming a Controller. As for the legion's discipline, naturally the Sovereign Legion had to follow his wishes and take on his shape.

In Hell, at Mirror Moon Cliff, the soldiers saw that someone had arrived from another Divine Plane and fell silent, not daring to speak. Lincoln stepped out of the teleportation array and muttered, "My luck was terrible this time. I had to teleport more than ten times before I finally reached Mirror Moon Cliff."

"What's wrong with you, Pusluo?" Alikein said sternly.

"I'm the one who's come to grant you freedom." The voice continued to speak through divine sense. At the word "freedom," even the golden kitten, whose patience was astonishing, couldn't help trembling.

Lincoln had come to Hell mainly to find Pusluo, the Volcano Giant, and invite him to become his Sovereign Envoy. In this era, Magnus and Dunnington had already become Paragons. But as an Intermediate Sovereign, Lincoln didn't expect to get a Paragon as his Sovereign Envoy. Besides, among the Law-type Paragons, he didn't want to grow attached to anyone who might become his prey. In his search for the Overgod Token some years earlier, he had learned about Alikein and Pusluo. Though he couldn't tell whether Pusluo had already reached Asura level, Lincoln had always admired him. Pusluo was patient, talented, and a good person.

"How many Laws and Mysteries have you fused?" Lincoln asked.

"I'm so envious of you Sovereigns born in the Material Planes." Zijing's voice carried both envy and amusement. Though she didn't finish the thought, Lincoln knew what she envied.

"Meow~" Amid the volcanoes, Alikein stroked the golden kitten in his arms as he looked at the two spatial rings that had been carried over by the lava. He smiled. "Pusluo, be good and see what we got today."

"Very impressive!" Lincoln said with a smile. This was countless years before Linley's era, yet Pusluo had already achieved Five-Fusion. If Pusluo had only achieved Three Profound Mysteries Fusion or Fourfold Fusion, Lincoln would have had no choice but to let him keep being a good little kitten and endure a while longer.

Pusluo knew that Alikein liked it best when he played the part of a good little cat. Usually, if he meowed a few extra times, his mistakes would be forgiven.

"Meow~" The golden kitten struggled slightly, making it seem more like he was playing with his owner.

"I came to take care of something," Lincoln replied simply. Because of the original story, he had a good impression of Zijing. But since they had never interacted before, they were still strangers.

"What's wrong, Pusluo?" Alikein continued stroking him.

The soldiers fell even quieter when they heard that. More than ten teleports—what level of expert did that take? The cost alone had exceeded a hundred quadrillion Moshi, yet he seemed completely unconcerned.

Watching the scene, Lincoln's mouth twitched. He fell silent until he saw Pusluo start peeking around again, then resumed speaking through divine sense.

Gradually calming down, Pusluo finally realized that Alikein hadn't noticed anyone speaking to him through divine sense. His heart raced, but he forced himself to stay calm. "Meow, it's nothing, Master. I just had a sudden insight into the Mysteries and got a little excited. I'm sorry, Master. Meow~"

"You two have a rather unusual way of getting along, Pusluo." There was a hint of teasing in Lincoln's voice.

Lincoln had just spread his Divine Sense across the entire continent when a gentle female voice reached him. "Lincoln? What brings you to Hell?"

Sure enough, Alikein laughed. "What do you need forgiveness for? I'm happy to see you make progress, too."

"Thank you," Lincoln replied. "You're also welcome to visit Chainis Plane anytime. I spend most of my time in the Material Plane."

"Who are you? What do you want me to do?" Pusluo asked through divine sense, with a barely restrained anger in his voice. He had no doubt that this stranger could do it, but there would be a price.

"Five," Pusluo answered tersely. By now, he had more or less guessed what this expert wanted: someone with Asura-level strength. As a Volcano Giant who had fused five Mysteries, he was considered powerful even among Asuras.

With a thought, Lincoln broke through every obstacle and appeared before Alikein.

Suddenly, a voice rang in his mind. "Pusluo, do you want your freedom?"

"Who? Who's there?" The golden kitten suddenly froze, his eyes wary.

"All right. Let me know if you need help, and come visit the Amethyst Mountains sometime," Zijing said warmly.

She was Zijing, the only female among the Chief Gods of Destruction, and an Intermediate Sovereign. Mirror Moon Cliff belonged to Zijing Continent. Naturally, Zijing had noticed Lincoln when he spread his Divine Sense across such a vast area.

"What speed!" Alikein exclaimed in shock. But before he could react, Lincoln gave a thought, and Alikein's two Divine Clones, along with his Saint Original Body, were instantly and utterly destroyed.

Rumble! With Alikein's death, the volcanoes stretching hundreds of miles gradually shrank and vanished. The golden kitten disappeared along with them, replaced by a burly man three meters tall who appeared before Lincoln.

But the man now looked as if he were facing a formidable enemy. He had Asura-level strength, yet even he couldn't kill a Four-Star Fiend so silently. This figure in black had instantly destroyed all three of Alikein's bodies without making a sound.
