Devouring Lord God Might

"You're welcome. You're my emissary. If other Lord Gods target you, of course I have to intervene." The Death Sovereign smiled, then added, "By the way, everyone inside this Purple Mist will soon die. I need to ensure that the Floating Shadows they recorded beforehand don't leak out.

"I'll arrange for the Lord God Army of the Nine Nether Domain to handle this, but you must ensure that none of them secretly keep anything."

"They'll all die?" Sean was startled, but he still said, "All right. I'll handle it."

To a Lord God, no matter how many God-level beings there were, they could be killed whenever they wished. Only Paragons might be somewhat exceptional.

The Death Sovereign continued, "This is also for your own sake. It's best not to let the outside world know about your conflict with the Lord Gods. And don't tell anyone about what happens between the Lord Gods afterward, not even your family."

"But these people should have divine clones too, right?" Sean asked.

The Death Sovereign smiled. "That's not a problem. Without actual evidence, Fiend Castles or the Lord God Castles of other planes can easily suppress such rumors.

"As long as no actual Floating Shadows appear, it'll be fine. If Floating Shadows spread on a large scale, there would be nothing we could do."

"That's good." Sean nodded.

In the original story, the Supreme God Mission had eventually become known throughout the world, likely because it involved the Supreme God and because the information Morde provided had seemed convincing, making it difficult even for the Lord Gods to suppress it.

But for ordinary matters, it was still very easy for Lord Gods to suppress rumors.

The Death Sovereign stretched, displaying her perfect figure, then asked, "Sean, now that your matter with the Four Divine Beasts Family has been resolved, what are you planning to do next?"

"Does Your Excellency have another task for me?" Sean asked.

The Death Sovereign shook her head. "Not at all. If you have your own matters to attend to, then go handle them. When you have time, come to Nether Mountain. We can spar. It may help me with my profound mysteries."

"All right, no problem. I'll visit Nether Mountain as soon as possible," Sean agreed.

Now that his conflict with the Four Divine Beasts Family had been resolved and he no longer needed to worry about being hunted by Lord Gods, he naturally had to return to his own Material Plane. In that plane, with two Great Perfection Divine Clones, he was invincible.

That would also allow him to study the relationship between his Soul Pearl and Sovereign Artifacts without worry.

Hell, Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range:

The Four Divine Beasts went straight to Gaisreisen's hall and tossed Buweit onto the ground. He was trembling uncontrollably.

Seeing that his father and the others looked grim, Gaisreisen hurriedly asked, "Father, how did it go?"

"Bru and the others have been rescued. I placed them in Blood Dragon Valley in the Netherworld to await their awakening, but Soul Poison still remains in their bodies." The Azure Dragon Lord God's expression remained extremely ugly. "However, we were utterly defeated in our confrontation with the Death Sovereign, and we completely lost face before the Netherworld Lord Gods."

"What happened?" Gaisreisen hurriedly asked.

Azure Dragon said, "This is what happened."

After roughly recounting the events, Azure Dragon glared furiously at Buweit. "It was this idiot who deceived you, causing the four of us to lose all face."

Buweit said tremblingly, "Ancestor, Buweit deserves death, but for the sake of how I once painstakingly served—"

"Trash." Azure Dragon's gaze sharpened, and a surge of Sovereign's Might gathered before quickly dispersing. He said coldly, "Killing you would not ease the hatred in my heart. Didn't you want a Sovereign Artifact? This is a Material Defense Lord God Artifact. Bind it as your master."

"What?" Buweit froze. Gaisreisen and the other Lord Gods, however, showed no surprise.

Azure Dragon repeated, "Bind it as your master."

"Yes." Buweit was utterly confused, but he still obeyed.

"Very good." As soon as Azure Dragon finished speaking, a spatial rift several meters wide appeared in the hall. Before Buweit could react, he was thrown directly into it.

White Tiger laughed. "Big Brother, why waste a Lord God Emissary slot on him?"

Azure Dragon said disdainfully, "It doesn't matter. We can still use Sovereign's Might to have Asuras do things for us. Besides, I want this piece of trash to drift through Space Turbulence for countless years until he chooses to end his own life. The moment the Sovereign Artifact is released from its master binding, I'll know."

Gaisreisen sighed inwardly, then said, "Father, since this matter has passed, let it end here.

"The only unexpected thing was that Sean actually became a Paragon. Otherwise, things would not have turned out this way. Over countless trillions of years, only a dozen or so such beings have appeared. Who could have imagined that we would encounter one?"

"This is already the second time." Vermilion Bird frowned. "Could it be that our Four Divine Beasts Family is incompatible with Paragon Highgods?"

Paragons were nothing to Lord Gods, but ordinary Paragons generally had Sovereigns behind them, and those Sovereigns valued them greatly.

Furthermore, many Sovereigns wanted to get their hands on the Four Divine Beasts Combined Innate Divine Ability themselves, so they were even more willing to protect their own.

The Black Tortoise Lord God said, "We can only admit that we were unlucky. Let it be. In the future, don't provoke Paragons."

"Yes." Gaisreisen could only agree.

He did not want to provoke Paragons either, but it was simply too much of a coincidence. The person he had been pursuing had become a Paragon. How could anyone have avoided that?

Vermilion Bird added, "The Soul Poison Sean left in Bru and the others' souls is quite formidable. We need to find a way to remove it as well."

"Right." The Azure Dragon Lord God agreed.

They did not care much if those people suffered a little, but if the poison could not be removed, the few of them would lose even more face.

Over the following years, Sean remained in the Nine Nether Domain, working with the Lord God Army dispatched by the Death Sovereign to search through every God-level being within the Purple Mist.

Any Floating Shadows outside were destroyed immediately. All Space Rings and other spatial artifacts that might contain stored items were collected.

Once everything had been completed, the Lord God Army would remain stationed there for hundreds of millions of years. Without a Lord God's order, no one would be permitted to enter or leave, preventing any undiscovered Floating Shadows from slipping through and spreading outside.

More than a decade later, Sean completed his task and headed straight for the Teleportation Array in the depths of the Nether Sea.

The number of Teleportation Arrays differed between God Planes. Hell, for example, had seven, with one controlled by each Lord God, while the Netherworld had only two. No one knew why.

The Nether Sea's Teleportation Array was located tens of thousands of meters beneath the sea. Given the Netherworld's gravity, an ordinary Saint Domain expert would be crushed to death in such a place. Compared to the magical Teleportation Arrays on land, this place was indeed far more dangerous.

In the deep sea, Sean quickly flew near the Teleportation Array.

"Stop there." A squad of Highgod soldiers looked at Sean and asked, "This is Youyue Sea Valley in the depths of the Nether Sea, where the Netherworld's Teleportation Array is located. Unauthorized people may not approach."

"I want to use the Teleportation Array." Sean said, "I'm going to a Material Plane."

"A Material Plane?" The Highgod captain was greatly startled. "The price for going to a Material Plane is—"

"I know." Sean cut him off.

A trace of Soul Imprint was contained in his words. The dozen or so Highgods in the squad immediately became dazed, though they quickly recovered.

Realizing that the person before them was an ultimate expert, they immediately became polite.

Sean tossed over a Space Ring containing one trillion Nether Stones. The reason he did not use a Lord God Token was to avoid his Material Plane being traced in the future.

Of course, if a Lord God happened to be observing this place at that moment, there was nothing he could do.

"My lord, which Material Plane are you going to?" A soldier hurriedly stepped forward and asked ingratiatingly.

Any Highgod capable of returning to a Material Plane was either a peak expert or a member of a major clan. In short, they were all beings far stronger than them.

Sean said indifferently, "The Qingyuan Material Plane."

Qingyuan Plane Teleportation Array:

A flash of black light appeared, and a Mid God bowed. "Greetings, Lord Sean."

"Jinhuo?" Sean glanced at the Plane Guardian, then vanished directly.

Without informing anyone, Sean merged his various divine clones and arrived on an isolated island south of Qingyuan Continent.

He then took out a Sovereign Artifact from his Space Ring. With a thought, a Soul Pearl emitting golden light flew out from his head.

In an instant, the golden energy around the Soul Pearl gathered into strands and directly wrapped around a Sovereign Artifact longsword lying on the ground.

The longsword let out a trembling, resonant hum. Sean could clearly sense that the Soul Pearl was devouring the Sovereign Artifact's might.
