" Jones, what exactly happened? How could Tilafa suddenly perish?" Lawrence's voice held a hint of anger.

Tilafa's strength is already very strong among Deity Level. Unless he is attacked by multiple commander-level powerhouses at once, very few people, except for Paragon High-God, should be able to kill him.

"Father, according to Ansen, it was a Sovereign who suddenly intervened..." In fact, when Ansen's Divine Clone found him, Jones already knew that he had gotten himself into big trouble, and things seemed to be developing in an unpredictable direction.

Had he known that their journey would provoke a Sovereign, he shouldn't have bothered with Xiboruisi in the first place. But it was too late now; Xiboruisi had lost both his lives and was utterly destroyed.

" The Sovereign?" Upon hearing that it was the Sovereign who had made the move, Lawrence's expression instantly turned solemn.

"It must be a Water Sovereign..." Because the giant face of the descending Sovereign was a convergence of a large amount of Water Sovereign Power, through which they could determine which Sovereign was responsible.

" The Water Sovereign?" Lawrence frowned immediately. There were indeed quite a few families that were enemies of Lawrence, but they were basically all native families and forces from the Fire Divine Plane.

The Water Sovereign, the only one he's ever clashed with is Tarva, right?

However, over the years, one of them has been in the Fire Divine Plane and the other in the Water Divine Plane, and they haven't had any contact for a long time. Why would he suddenly kill one of his own Sovereign's Emissary?

"Why did they make a move?" Lawrence asked patiently.

The Sovereign is high above and rarely interferes in matters between Deity Level. Unless a powerful Deity Level being angers the Sovereign, the Sovereign rarely takes action against other gods.

"This..." Jones was at a loss for words. In fact, he was completely confused and hadn't had time to figure out what was going on.

"Hurry up and tell me!"

However, upon hearing his father's stern question, Jones had no choice but to explain, "It must have been the three of them who almost accidentally injured this Sovereign's relative."

"Relatives?" Lawrence was taken aback. Could it be Hughes and Gaiseresen?

Among the Water Sovereign, most are born from Special Lifeform and rare divine beasts, making it difficult for them to have offspring. Only Hughes' bloodline is relatively ordinary, and he has many relatives and partners, establishing a large family in the Water Divine Plane. There is also the Azure Dragon Clan among the Four Divine Beasts Clan.

"Could it be Hughes who made the move?" If it was the Azure Dragon Clan, Tilafa and the others would surely know that the other party was a relative of the Sovereign. After all, the powerful figures of the Four Divine Beasts Clan were already well-known throughout the various planes.

"It's probably not very likely..." Hughes, after all, is also a veteran Sovereign. Although Hughes ' relatives and descendants are not as famous as the strong members of the Four Divine Beasts Clan, they are not unknown figures.

"It seems I need to find out what exactly happened." Having inexplicably provoked a Water Sovereign, Lawrence definitely needs to be careful.

However, before he could inquire for long, a message quickly spread among the Sovereign: the Water Element Sovereign had suddenly appeared.

"It seems that Tilafa has encountered a new Water Element Sovereign..." A barely perceptible Gloomy Light flashed in Lawrence's sharp, hawk-like eyes, before he fell silent.

At this moment, he had already begun to think about how to handle this matter, since it currently involved a Sovereign- level powerhouse.

The Water Divine Plane consists of seven small continents, but these seven continents occupy less than one-tenth of the Water Divine Plane's area. In contrast, the sea area is extremely vast.

The seven continents are more like a few large islands dotting a sea.

Azure Water Continent.

This is the largest continent in the Water Divine Plane.

The Azure Water Continent, and the vast Waters surrounding it, belong to the territory of the Water Element Sovereign.

Previously, the Water Element Sovereign had suddenly perished, and this territory had been jointly managed by several other Sovereign. However, now that a new Sovereign has appeared, they naturally dare not overstep their bounds again.

Inside the Sovereign Palace the Azure Sea Mountain.

" The Azure Water Army Legion, Boer, pays respects to the Sovereign." A burly man with a blue head was kneeling respectfully in the main hall.

In the Water Divine Plane, there are also seven legions belonging to the Sovereign. The Azure Water Continent and the surrounding vast sea area are managed by this Azure Water Army. And Boer is the legion commander of this Azure Water Army.

"I didn't expect a new Water Element Sovereign to reappear so quickly," Boer thought to himself. "I wonder which is stronger, the new Sovereign, Lord Luo Ao, or the former Sovereign, Lord Tilly."

" Boer, you should be quite familiar with this Azure Water Continent. I'm here to find a few Sovereign's Emissary. You should know who would be suitable, right?" Luo Ao looked down at Boer and spoke leisurely.

Upon noticing the Sovereign's gaze suddenly focus on him, Boer's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly cleared his mind of all distractions.

"Reporting to the Sovereign, according to our Azure Water Army's intelligence, there are the following powerful individuals within the Azure Water Continent and Azure Water Sea area, available for Sovereign consideration." Boer immediately took out a large number of files from his Space Ring, and even quite a few Floating Shadow Stone.

These documents contain detailed information on thousands of powerful individuals, and even the weakest among them is a seven-star 'Wave Rider' level expert.

Although Luo Ao could choose Sovereign's Emissary from other continents or even other Divine Plane, it would ultimately be more convenient to choose some powerful individuals within his own territory.

After what happened last time, Luo Ao realized that he had too few Sovereign's Emissary under his command. One Liermons was simply not enough, which is why he had the idea of selecting Sovereign's Emissary in this Water Divine Plane.

"Oh, there are quite a few powerful Deity Level experts in my territory..." Luo Ao flipped through the list in his hand. Indeed, there were quite a few powerful Deity Level experts on it. Among these experts, some were the lords of a prefecture in this Water Divine Plane, and some were powerful experts who had obtained the title of ' Seven Star Wavewalker ' and were qualified to challenge the prefecture lord.

Of these figures, the ones that attracted Luo Ao's attention the most were naturally the ones listed at the very top.

Parhaus, one of the top three strongest beings in the entire Water Divine Plane, cultivates Water Law and is suspected to be Paragon High-God.

Although this Boer marked as "possibly Paragon," Luo Ao and the other Sovereign naturally knew that Parhaus was indeed Water Element Paragon.

In the entire Water Divine Plane, Parhaus is undoubtedly the number one being below the Sovereign.

However, Luo Ao had heard other Sovereign mention Parhaus during this time. Even before this, Parhaus had only helped Tilly a few times, and their relationship was one of employment.

Parhaus has never agreed to serve as Sovereign's Emissary of any Sovereign, so even if he were to act, the chances of success are slim.

Ignoring Parhaus, Luo Ao looked at the person ranked second.

Liwa, a super strong being ranked among the top five in the Water Divine Plane, cultivates the Water Law and Laws of the Earth, with the Water Law being his most accomplished. He possesses an Offensive Sovereign Artifact.

"My lord, this Liwa is the messenger of the former Water Element Sovereign." Seeing that Luo Ao had noticed this person, Boer immediately began to explain in detail the special characteristics of Liwa.

Liwa's true form is an extremely terrifying divine beast— the Mountain-Shaking Ancient Whale. Its physical talents and Divine Ability are already astonishing. Moreover, like Mosi from the Infernal Realm, Liwa has two very powerful avatars. However, in terms of mastery of the Laws, his greatest strength lies in the Water Law.

"This Liwa, he has already cultivated the Water Law to the final stage, are you sure?" After noticing this small detail mentioned in the intelligence, Luo Ao's eyes lit up instantly.

While Paragon High-God are rare, such 'limit' rulers who are just a hair's breadth away from Paragon are equally uncommon, especially since this Liwa is actually a divine beast, making it even more exceptional.

"This Liwa and I have a pretty good relationship. He told me this himself, so it shouldn't be a lie." As the legion commander of the Azure Water Army, Boer is actually quite powerful, so it's normal for him to have a relationship with Liwa.

"This Liwa, when you get back, tell him this..." Luo Ao immediately instructed Boer. At this moment, he had an idea in mind, but whether it would work out depended on Liwa himself.

If this really succeeds, he might even gain another Sovereign's Emissary of a Paragon High-God.

There are very few rulers who have a Sovereign of Paragon High-God. If someone has a Paragon High-God as their messenger, many things will be much easier to handle.

"Yes, Sovereign, I will inform Liwa immediately." Although he didn't quite understand what the new Sovereign meant, he quickly agreed. And judging from the Sovereign's words, it didn't seem like a bad thing.

But is such an opportunity really possible?

To be honest, even though these words came from the Water Element Sovereign, Boer was still somewhat incredulous.

After all, this is a bit too unbelievable.

Heavenfrost Island, this is where Liwa lived in seclusion.

"This Water Element Sovereign, do you really say that?" At this moment, a purple-haired giant, as strong as a small mountain, looked at his friend with a surprised expression.

After exchanging words with Boer, Liwa understood that the new Water Element Sovereign wanted him to become the Sovereign's Emissary. However, he was now more interested in figuring out the 'opportunity' that the Sovereign had mentioned.

"Let me reach the Paragon?" To be honest, Liwa was indeed tempted. Having reached his level, the only thing he was still pursuing was this ultimate state of Paragon.

However, reaching the Paragon has always been something one can only do on their own. Even many Sovereign themselves are not yet at the Paragon, and this is not a secret among those who rule the strong.

Even if this Water Element Sovereign himself reaches the Paragon, he cannot help others reach the Paragon.

The attainment of Paragon is by no means an easy process.

However, the Sovereign had no reason to lie to him, since even without this 'opportunity,' he had no right to refuse the Sovereign's offer.

" The Sovereign only said there is a sliver of hope," Boer immediately reminded him telepathically.

"I know," Liwa nodded.

Then, under Boer's watchful eye, Liwa flew directly towards the teleportation array.
