Four Divine Beasts Family, I've Arrived

The Death Sovereign did not answer directly. Instead, she said, "Sean, what came this time was not an Energy Clone."

"Does the Sovereign intend to settle the matter between me and the Four Divine Beasts Family?" Sean immediately understood.

The Death Sovereign said, "Yes. Although you were previously a peak Asura, you were nothing much to Lord Gods. As long as you did not kill the children and grandchildren of the Four Divine Beasts, the Four Divine Beasts would not intervene in the conflict between you and the Four Divine Beasts Family as Lord Gods;

but now you are a Paragon, and my emissary as well. If the conflict between you and the Four Divine Beasts Family grows more serious in the future and the four of them directly attack you, I fear I may not be able to save you in time. So I also wish to use this opportunity to resolve the matter."

"Sovereign, how do you intend to resolve this?" Sean was deeply puzzled, but he still asked.

Judging from certain descriptions in the original work, the Combined Innate Divine Ability of the Four Divine Beasts Lord Gods posed an immense threat to Sovereigns who were not Paragons, and the Death Sovereign was also the only non-Paragon among the Four Great Rule Masters;

yet since she could rank among the Four Great Rule Masters and suppress the other Sovereigns of the elemental laws, aside from a Supreme Divine Artifact for physical attacks, she likely had no weakness in terms of the soul. Otherwise, she could not possibly hold such a position;

perhaps it was because she was the first lifeform of the Netherworld and possessed an extremely terrifying Innate Divine Ability. Yet no one knew what it was, and the original work never described it. Perhaps that was why she did not fear the Innate Divine Ability of the Four Divine Beasts and could suppress the other Sovereigns.

The Death Sovereign smiled. "You need not concern yourself with that. Go find them directly first. You may deal with the Lord God Emissaries as you wish. Among those sent by the Four Divine Beasts Family, two are direct descendants of the Four Divine Beasts Lord Gods, while Bru is someone they value greatly. According to the Lord God Agreement, you cannot kill them, or I will find it difficult to protect you. But you may teach them a lesson;

find a way to force the Four Divine Beasts to show themselves. Leave what comes afterward to me."

"Alright, I understand. Thank you, Sovereign." Sean bowed.

The Death Sovereign smiled faintly. "You are my emissary. Even if you were not a Paragon, I could not possibly stand by and watch other Lord Gods target you;

moreover, because of certain reasons involving me, you, my Paragon emissary, may very well be targeted by some Lord Gods. That is also why I have come forward personally this time."

"Targeted by other Lord Gods? What does that mean?" Sean was utterly confused;

who would dare target one of the Four Great Rule Masters? Could it be the other three? And they were targeting a Paragon emissary?

The Death Sovereign smiled. "There is no need to worry too much. I will resolve these problems. Now go do what you should do and teach those people from the Four Divine Beasts Family a proper lesson;

as long as you do not take the lives of those few valued by the Lord Gods, you may do as you please with the rest."

"Alright, that is what I am best at." Sean smiled faintly. "What I am best at in the Death Rule is torture."

Execution? That was merely a relatively light punishment. To live worse than death—that was true Hell.

After leaving the Death Sovereign's palace and returning to Flame Bone Mountain, Sean discovered that several people seemed to react strangely upon seeing him.

Thinking back, those people had also been present when he left earlier;

because he had advanced to Paragon, many people had been watching him, so he had not paid them any mind. But now, he could clearly sense that they were different from the others.

Thus, Sean's figure flashed, and he immediately vanished.

Very soon, several people gathered where he had been and discussed, "Did anyone see which direction Sean went?"

"No, he was too fast. Doesn't Sean cultivate the Death Rule? How is he even faster than Lord Youfeng?"

"Youfeng? The emissary of the Four Divine Beasts Lord God, White Tiger?"

The sudden voice made the faces of those discussing matters change drastically. Yet in an instant, their bodies shuddered and their consciousnesses vanished.

"Looks like they still do not know I am already a Paragon."

Reading their memories took only an instant. He had become a Paragon less than a day ago, so naturally the Four Divine Beasts Family had not received the news yet.

Deep within a cave in a mountain range, several dozen people sat in a circle;

a burly man suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the person beside him. "Elder Bru, the Plane War has already ended. Have we still not found Sean's exact location? We cannot make a move in Flame Bone Mountain. We can only wait for him to come out."

"Wait patiently. It is difficult enough to keep an eye on a peak Asura—" Before Bru could finish, his expression changed drastically. "Not good. My people have been Soul Seeded by Sean. He actually discovered them."

A Wind Element Highgod frowned. "Your people were too careless. Sean must already know of our plan now. It will be difficult to find him."

"Are we going to let all our efforts go to waste?" Bru was extremely unwilling.

In order to avoid alerting Sean, they had not sent any members of the Four Divine Beasts Family to Flame Bone Mountain. Instead, they had drawn Seven-Star Demon-level experts from several Lord God families and explicitly instructed them not to casually search with divine sense, only to use their eyes;

they feared that repeated searches by divine sense with the same aura would alert Sean, especially since he was an expert of the Death Rule, skilled at Soul Bewilderment and Soul Seeds;

once he discovered their purpose and fled, where could they possibly find him? Even the divine sense of a peak Highgod only covered a thousand meters. Searching for someone in the Netherworld was simply unrealistic.

A Fire Element Highgod said, "How about we kill our way over now? If we use Sovereign's Might, we can get there very quickly."

"No. Flame Bone Mountain is the passage to the Plane Battlefield and the face of the Netherworld Lord Gods. We cannot take the risk." Bru said with a grim expression, "Besides, even if Sean has not left yet, the energy fluctuations from using Sovereign's Might to rush over will be too great. He will definitely notice."

"Then there is nothing we can do." A Destruction Highgod said leisurely.

Bru frowned slightly. That tone displeased him, but the speaker was an extremely powerful Lord God Emissary. Even Gaisreisen, the clan leader of the Four Divine Beasts Family, would have to show him some courtesy.

"You do not need to go over. I have come."

Just as the cave fell silent, a mocking laugh echoed from every direction within the mountain;

"Sean?" Several men suddenly cried out.

They were among the few in the clan who had fought Sean and survived, so they had come along as well.

Bru looked confused. "Why did Sean come here himself?"

"Since you refuse to come out, let me invite you out." The mocking voice sounded again.

Boom! The entire ground suddenly shook violently. A terrifying surge of energy tore apart the mountain range, while the earth and rocks around the cave were ripped up and crushed toward the several dozen people inside.

"Get out!" A Highgod of the Earth Law roared.

As an expert of the Earth Law, he knew exactly what kind of terrifying energy they were facing.
