The Purplethorn Sovereign's Melancholy

"The essence and blood of the Four Divine Beasts seem to contain a very special energy! It may contain the potential to fuse the Sovereign’s Might!"

Ren controlled the essence of the Four Divine Beasts while manipulating the magic circle, constantly observing and deducing.

The surrounding seas were sealed off by the Sovereign’s Might, and the entire South Sea had become a forbidden zone, inaccessible to people from the Material Plane.

Ignoring the reactions from the outside world, Ren continued his experiments and improvements on the seabed, hoping to one day find a way to transcend his limitations.

Meanwhile, in the Divine Plane, once again, because of Ren, a massive earthquake was triggered, far exceeding the previous one. After all, the last event was merely a battle between gods, but this time, Overgod had fallen.

Deep within the Amethyst Mountains, in a purple cave, a beautiful woman in a purple robe slowly descended to the ground from a chair exuding a spiritual aura. A hint of sorrow appeared between her delicate brows.

"Mother? What's wrong?"

A clear, youthful voice rang out, and a bald boy, barely a meter tall, slowly walked out, looking at the beautiful woman with some confusion.

The Amethyst Mountains have always been one of the forbidden areas of the Zijing Continent. Even the families who have been mining Amethyst for countless years know very little about the depths of the mountains.

All they knew was that once they were sucked into the depths of the Amethyst Mountains, there was no way to get out; and for countless years, there had never been an exception.

If the people harvesting Amethyst were to witness this scene, they would likely be horrified, as the fact that people actually live inside the Amethyst Mountains is an utterly unbelievable thing for them.

The bald boy exuded the unique aura of the Amethyst Divine Beast, and there was a hint of boredom between his brows. His identity was none other than the young master of the Amethyst Mountains, the powerful Purgatory Commander — Leisjing!

The woman in purple robes, whom Leisjing calls her mother, is the true Overlord of the Zijing Continent, one of the Seven Sovereigns of Hell, Bauhinia Sovereign.

"Alas, the Four Divine Beasts Sovereign, have fallen!"

The Bauhinia Sovereign sighed and didn't hide anything, telling his son directly. In any case, the news of the fall of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereign would soon spread far and wide, so there was no need to hide it.

"What? The Four Divine Beasts Sovereign have fallen?"

Leisjing suddenly jumped up, smashing a large hole in the top of the cave. However, Leisjing seemed unaware of it, only looking at her mother with a hint of shock in her eyes, as if to confirm whether it was a joke.

Although Leisjing didn't like the Four Divine Beasts Clan, he knew that his mother had a good relationship with the Four Divine Beasts Clan Four Divine Beasts, so he never had any conflicts with them.

Of course, there was no opportunity for them to clash. Leisjing lived in the Amethyst Mountains for many years because the Bauhinia Sovereign was too worried about his son's safety. Leisjing rarely went out to travel and was only active on the Planar Battlefield.

In contrast, the Four Divine Beasts Clan is arrogant and domineering in various parts of the Divine Plane, but never participates in Planar War. Gaiseresen, as the patriarch of the Four Divine Beasts Clan, doesn't even know Leisjing.

"Reding and the other three have perished."

The Bauhinia Sovereign sat down with a melancholy expression, leaning back wearily in the chair.

"Mother, don't be too sad. The Four Divine Beasts Sovereign was too arrogant and domineering. It was only a matter of time before this day came."

Leisjing's small eyes darted around, and she cautiously approached the beautiful woman in purple robes, gently massaging the body of the Bauhinia Sovereign.

Although the Overgod's body doesn't get tired at all, feeling Jingjing's care, the Bauhinia Sovereign's originally melancholy mood recovered a lot.

"Mother, what about our agreement before, about me traveling across the continent...?"

Leisjing spoke cautiously, afraid that the Bauhinia Sovereign would change his mind.

As the only son of the Bauhinia Sovereign, Leisjing is a rare second-generation character, even in Hell and the Divine Plane. Moreover, Leisjing himself is extremely powerful, being a super divine beast that has fused with five profound Mysteries, plus the Offensive Sovereign Artifact and inexhaustible Sovereign’s Might.

Leisjing is one of the top-tier Prefect in the Planar Battlefield. It can be said that without the intervention of Paragon cultivator, there is almost no one who can kill Leisjing.

However, even with Leisjing's immense strength, the Bauhinia Sovereign was still worried about letting him wander off, always concerned that he might accidentally offend some Overgod, such as Paragon being.

Although Leisjing protested many times, believing that it was impossible for her to have offended someone she couldn't afford to offend by sheer coincidence, she was met with her mother's refusal.

The Bauhinia Sovereign usually appears as a loving mother, never willing to scold or beat Leisjing. However, once Leisjing makes a decision, she has no room to resist, and her treatment of Leisjing can sometimes be described as overprotective.

Therefore, upon hearing of the fall of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereign, Leisjing quickly recalled the travel opportunity she had obtained through persistent pleading and tried to get an answer from her mother that she could continue her journey. Unfortunately, Leisjing was destined to be disappointed.

"Jingjing, the Divine Plane will likely be in turmoil for a long time to come. The Four Divine Beasts Clan will inevitably be hunted down. Those bloodthirsty people won't care about your identity, so you shouldn't leave for now."

The Bauhinia Sovereign rubbed her temples and said with some helplessness, of course she understood her son's feelings, but at this time, she was not comfortable letting Leisjing go out.

"Mother! Didn't you promise me? Besides, let them kill each other, I just won't get involved!"

Leisjing immediately spoke anxiously, his voice rising several octaves, his bald head almost bursting with fire.

Leisjing was sometimes speechless at his mother's words. He could naturally guess that the Four Divine Beasts Clan would inevitably clash with many other clans, but Leisjing felt that there was no danger to him at all.

He's not a member of the Four Divine Beasts Clan, nor does he help them. Why are they targeting him? Besides, with his strength, unless multiple Asura gang up on him, who can stop him from escaping?

"Alright, Jingjing, be good. Let's go out after the matter of the Four Divine Beasts Clan is over and the Divine Plane has calmed down."

The Bauhinia Sovereign looked at his youngest son with some melancholy, but his tone was firm and unyielding, allowing no disobedience.

"Don't call me Jingjing! If you don't want me to go out, then don't! Honestly, I don't care anyway! Humph!"

Leisjing snorted coldly and strode out of the cave, her little face full of grievance.

"Oh, this child..."

The Bauhinia Sovereign sighed softly. She was used to her son's reaction, and she knew that Jingjing was unlikely to be in danger, but what if she was?

The Bauhinia Sovereign and the Four Divine Beasts Sovereign have a good relationship, but their methods of raising their own children are completely different.

The Four Divine Beasts Sovereign allowed Gaiseresen and his companions to roam freely, promising to cover for them if they offended anyone. As a result, the Four Divine Beasts Clan developed an arrogant and self-important personality.

The Bauhinia Sovereign, on the other hand, is overly cautious, which makes Leisjing's personality like that of a child who never grows up. He loves to play, which is also due to being too bored over the years.
