Acting Separately

"All Sovereigns of the Earth Elemental System, proceed to the Spatial Turbulence and establish a Divine Plane!"

The commanding voice, carrying a note that brooked no challenge, rang out in the minds of the Sovereigns.

In the Infernal Realm, Leiyuan and Bowen received the information from the Laws of the Universe at the same time, and the seven Sovereigns of the Four Divine Beasts' faction gathered in Heavenly Sacrifice City.

"Big brother, the Great Earth Divine Plane is about to be established."

Without wasting a word, Bowen got straight to the point as soon as they met.

Redding nodded slightly. He raised a hand and pulled, easily tearing open the space around them. "We'll talk on the way."

The seven Sovereigns filed into the Spatial Turbulence.

By the time Redding and the other six arrived, more than ten Sovereigns had already gathered in the Spatial Turbulence.

With Bowen and Leiyuan, all seven Earth Sovereigns were now present.

The Earth Sovereign was a mild-mannered middle-aged man. Seeing that all the Earth Sovereigns had arrived, he wasted no words and got straight to the point. "Everyone's here, so let's begin."

Five hundred thousand years had passed since the Water Divine Plane was established, and the Earth Divine Plane was already the fourth Divine Plane established by the Sovereigns.

The two planes established after the Water Divine Plane were the Wind Element Divine Plane and the Lightning Element Divine Plane.

After the Wind Element Divine Plane was completed, a Lower Sovereign of the Darkness Element was ambushed and killed by a Sovereign because of an old grudge, perishing completely.

After that, the number of Sovereigns who came to watch the establishment of Divine Planes fell sharply. Apart from the Sovereigns of the element in question, who had no choice but to come and establish the Divine Plane, only Sovereigns like Redding and the others, who came to stand guard, would attend.

There were almost no Sovereigns who came purely to watch the spectacle, as they had when the Water Divine Plane was established.

With the Sovereigns of the Four Divine Beasts' faction and the Life Sovereign standing guard, Laius and Leijia both established their Divine Planes with great ease, without encountering ambushes from other Sovereigns.

All seven Sovereigns of the Earth Elemental System had gathered. Without further discussion, they began condensing Sovereign's Might at the same time.

The Sovereigns of the Earth Elemental System drew out vast quantities of Sovereign's Might in the Spatial Turbulence. Following the method of creation contained in their Sovereign Sparks, they gradually formed the embryonic shape of an Earth Divine Plane within the Spatial Turbulence.

The establishment of the Earth Divine Plane proceeded smoothly, and its embryonic membrane gradually took shape.

Just then, a voice rang out in their minds. "All Fire Sovereigns, proceed to the Spatial Turbulence and establish a Divine Plane!"

As the commanding voice fell silent, the expressions of the Sovereigns from the Four Divine Beasts' faction changed.

Nemo immediately turned to Redding. "Big brother, what should we do?"

Looking at the Earth Divine Plane gradually taking shape, Redding pondered for a moment. "I'll go with you."

With that, Redding turned to Zijing, Pash, and Laius. "Stay here and stand guard for Leiyuan and Bowen. Once the Great Earth Divine Plane is complete, come find us immediately."

Splitting up was the best solution Redding could think of at the moment.

With their current strength, even if they acted separately, the danger would not be too great as long as no Sovereign-level expert attacked them.

The only thing they needed to worry about was whether Tristan, the Water Element Sovereign who held a grudge against Redding, would take the opportunity to strike.

"If there's no other choice, I'll have Leijia make a move," Redding murmured as he considered the matter.

With Leijia's current strength, if both of his Sovereign clones fought together, he would be at least as strong as an ordinary Sovereign-level expert.

As long as Leijia could hold them off until Nemo successfully established the Divine Plane, whichever Sovereign came to hunt them would have to hand over their Sovereign Spark.

In the Life Divine Plane, Leijia greeted Vivian, casually cut open a spatial rift, and stepped into the Spatial Turbulence.

Brilliant multicolored streams washed over Leijia's body. Wrapped in the Might of the Will, he became a streak of light and flew toward Redding and Nemo at full speed.

A hundred years later, in the Water Divine Plane.

Tristan listened to a report from the only Sovereign under his command.

"Lord Sovereign, the Fire Element Divine Plane and the Earth Divine Plane are being established at the same time. You told me to keep an eye on Redding. According to a message from a friend of mine, Redding has already taken Nemo to the site where the Fire Element Divine Plane is being established. Apart from Redding, the other Sovereigns have all remained at the Earth Divine Plane, which is about to take shape."

As he spoke, the Water Sovereign raised his head slightly, hoping to read some emotion on the face of the Sovereign seated high above him in an armchair.

Unfortunately, the Water Element Sovereign Tristan's expression was like the still surface of a lake, without the slightest ripple.

There were only three Sovereigns in the entire Water Divine Plane: Tristan, the Sovereign, the Lower Sovereign, and Redding.

The Lower Sovereign understood that Tristan's close attention to Redding was probably no good thing for Redding, but he said nothing, because these were the orders of Tristan, the Water Element Sovereign.

He was only an ordinary Lower Sovereign, with no additional Might of the Will and no divine body as tough as a Sovereign Artifact. He did not dare offend the Water Element Sovereign and could only obey Tristan's orders.

Tristan waved a hand and said to the Lower Sovereign of the Water Element, "You may leave. Give me the location of the Fire Element Divine Plane. There's no need to keep watching Redding after this..."

Tristan left the rest unsaid, because after this, the Sovereign known as Redding would no longer exist in the world.

Within the Spatial Turbulence, several Fire Sovereigns had gathered.

This time, aside from the Fire Sovereigns, who had no choice but to come, fewer Sovereigns were present than at any of the previous establishments of Divine Planes.

Apart from Redding, there were only two Lower Sovereigns and one Mid-level Sovereign.

When the Sovereigns sensed Redding's aura, they merely became more wary in silence and quietly put some distance between themselves and him.

After all, the Sovereigns of the Four Divine Beasts' faction were extremely well known among Sovereigns. Although the Four Divine Beasts had yet to demonstrate their Fusion Innate Divine Ability, their advantage in numbers alone made even some Sovereigns wary of them.

Like the Earth Sovereigns, the Fire Sovereigns gathered without any further discussion. Under the leadership of the Fire Element Sovereign, they immediately began establishing the Fire Element Divine Plane.

The Fire Sovereigns drew in scorching fire elemental energy.

The seven Fire Element Sovereigns joined forces to condense an immeasurable amount of Fire Sovereign's Might.

The steps and process were the same; only the Sovereigns carrying them out and the Sovereign's Might they condensed were different.

As a Water Sovereign, Redding found the commotion caused by the establishment of the Fire Element Divine Plane extremely uncomfortable.

While the Fire Sovereigns were condensing Sovereign's Might, he had already begun gradually moving away from them.

The masses of scorching energy drove Redding farther and farther from the gradually forming Fire Element Divine Plane. At the same time, he spread out his divine sense to encompass Nemo as she worked on the plane, keeping a constant watch over her safety.

His divine sense spread outward in all directions with him at the center. While watching Nemo, Redding also noticed a figure approaching him at tremendous speed.

As he sensed the figure drawing closer, a faint smile curved Redding's lips. "Finally took the bait."
