No Choice but to Become an Overgod Emissary

Above the summit of Nether Mountain lies the underground palace.

The palace was made entirely of the same purplish-black material, and a chilling aura slowly emanated from it.

"Follow me closely. Do not disobey in the slightest," Asers said in a low voice.

"Don't worry." Luo Feng also seemed a little nervous. It was his first time seeing the true form of the Overgod, and it was the Sovereign of Death was quite popular in the original Coiling Dragon novel.

Led by Asers, they ascended the palace steps and entered the hall. At this moment, Asers knelt down, saying, "Greetings, Overgod!"

Tina then flew onto the Sovereign of Death's wrist in a flash and said, "Tina greets the Overgod."

Luo Feng bowed slightly and said, "Luo Feng greets the Overgod."

Luo Feng's actions immediately startled Asers and Tina. They wanted to say something, but seeing the Overgod right in front of them, they dared not utter a word.

"You two, raise your heads." The icy voice echoed throughout the hall. Only then did Luo Feng and Asers dare to look up. Luo Feng then realized that the palace was very spacious, without even a single pillar. Luo Feng's gaze followed the steps upwards, until it reached the Death Sovereign sitting on the throne!

A pure black throne sat a woman in a long purple robe embroidered with branches, vines, and silver snakes. This Death Sovereign had long, blood-red hair and a delicate face. Her eyes, in particular, were exceptionally captivating, exuding a cold and noble aura.

Luo Feng only glanced at him for a few seconds. He had to admit that the beauty of the Sovereign of Death was breathtaking, so beautiful that it surpassed even Catherine's. However, in terms of temperament, perhaps no one could compare to the Sovereign of Death. Nevertheless, in Luo Feng's mind, the Sovereign of Death was always a twisted patient who enjoyed watching others die and deriving pleasure from it.

"I admire you." The Sovereign of Death looked at Luo Feng, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Luo Feng, it's rare for me to admire someone. But... I admire you very much now. After all, although I am the Sovereign of Death, I haven't reached the Paragon in terms of the Laws. You, on the other hand, have reached the Paragon. Impressive!"

The words of the Sovereign of Death truly shocked Asers and Tina, especially Tina. She had originally thought that Luo Feng was just a powerful Highgod who was only good at dealing with souls, but she did not expect that he was actually Paragon expert.

"In just over a thousand years, you have reached such a level." The Sovereign of Death exclaimed in admiration. In fact, the Sovereign of Death had been checking Luo Feng's information the moment Luo Feng entered the Nether Mountain. He learned that Luo Feng came from a Material Plane and had only been born for a little over a thousand years. Such talent was terrifying.

"The Overgod." Luo Feng bowed slightly and said calmly, "I was once banished to Spatial Turbulence, and then accidentally entered a place where time flowed slowly, where I cultivated for two million years." It's better to explain this clearly as soon as possible, otherwise who knows how many people will misunderstand. Anyway, the Wind Spirit Primal Stone was just Heaven and Earth Wonder and earth, and since it has been destroyed, what can they possibly guess?

The Sovereign of Death glanced at Luo Feng, exuding an air of superiority and disdain for all living beings, and said with a faint smile, "Since you have obtained the Nether Fruit, then you are my Sovereign of Death Overgod Emissary."

Luo Feng was taken aback, then said, "My Overgod Luo Feng, I came to Nether Mountain only to obtain a Nether Fruit, and I have no intention of becoming your Overgod Emissary. I hope you will grant my Overgod."

The Sovereign of Death smiled faintly, "So you want me to break my promise to the world? Everyone in the Netherworld knows that whoever obtains the Nether Fruit will become Overgod Emissary. You have obtained it now, so tell me, how do you explain this?"

Luo Feng gave a wry smile. The Sovereign of Death really had his weakness firmly grasped. Whether or not he became the Overgod Emissary was entirely up to him. What did he mean by breaking his promise to the world? Did the Lord of Death think he was stupid? Then he realized that the Sovereign of Death was determined to make him the Overgod Emissary, otherwise he wouldn't have said that. Refusing would only offend the Sovereign of Death, so he had no choice but to obediently become his Overgod Emissary. However, Luo Feng wasn't so foolish as to agree so easily. He knew how to bargain.

"Overgod, I've heard that according to the rules set by the Overgod, if anyone ventures all the way from the foot of Nether Mountain to this place, the Overgod should grant me a request. Overgod, am I right?" Luo Feng then said.

The Sovereign of Death was taken aback, then nodded and said, "That's right."

"Then please, Overgod, grant me a few more Nether Fruit," Luo Feng said with delight upon receiving the Sovereign of Death's reply.

The Sovereign of Death looked at Luo Feng with great interest. "Luo Feng, you really know how to think."

Asers, standing to the side, explained, "Luo Feng, the Nether Fruit is a legendary treasure. To put it simply, one Netherworld Fruit can create a powerful expert at the level of a palace lord. Do you think that's incredibly precious? Moreover, the Nether Fruit grows on the Nether Fruit Tree, and the Nether Fruit Tree is also a great Overgod. You really know how to think things through."

Luo Feng was taken aback. Indeed, a single Nether Fruit could create a powerful Palace Master. If he had a whole bunch of them, it would be far too unrealistic. It was like Sovereign Artifact; what if the Overgod gave three Sovereign Artifact to his children? Wouldn't that be too much of an insult?

However, Luo Feng was not willing to let this opportunity slip by, and then said, "Overgod, since that's the case, then Luo Feng dares to say that if the Overgod agrees to give Luo Feng another one, Luo Feng is willing to become the Overgod's Overgod Emissary."

After careful consideration, the Sovereign of Death said, "Alright, Luo Feng, I agree. However, you can only use these two Nether Fruit yourself. I know you have three identities. If you give the Nether Fruit to your wife or son, it will obviously disrupt the balance. Furthermore, you are not allowed to compete for the Nether Fruit again. With your strength as Paragon expert, few can stop you."

Luo Feng was taken aback. He had actually intended to give the two stones to Catherine and Luo Si. If this could help them reach the level of a Palace Master, he would then try to take them back. However, the Overgod War's words clearly indicated that he had guessed Luo Feng's intentions, so he had no choice but to agree. However, Luo Feng was puzzled as to why the Sovereign of Death would agree to his conditions. Did the Sovereign of Death Overgod Emissary, a God of War at the Paragon, not have one?

Luo Feng guessed correctly. None of the Paragon experts born in the Netherworld had submitted to her, and the Paragon Overgod from other planes were even less likely to join her ranks, as they had long been divided up by the main gods of other Divine Plane. As the strongest Sovereign of an Edict among the Overgod, the fact that she didn't have a single Paragon expert under her command greatly displeased the Sovereign of Death. Therefore, as long as Luo Feng Luo Feng didn't refuse on the spot, the Sovereign of Death still hoped that Luo Feng would become her envoy. This was not only related to the fact that she didn't have any absolute powerhouses under her command, but also to the issue of face.

Seeing that Luo Feng had agreed to be his Overgod Emissary, the Sovereign of Death finally nodded in satisfaction and said, "Tell me, what type of Sovereign Artifact do you want? Soul defense, physical defense, Material Offensive Sovereign Artifact —the choice is yours."

Luo Feng said, "Then I'll trouble the Overgod to give me a Material Defense Sovereign Artifact."

"I will bestow upon you a Material Defense Sovereign Artifact, and you will become my fourth messenger!" The Sovereign of Death nodded and took out a Sovereign Artifact armor.

The Sovereign of Death tossed Luo Feng a black jade bottle containing hundreds of drops of Sovereign’s Might and a parchment with intricate magical patterns. The Sovereign of Death of Sovereign of Death's body then vanished like sand, indicating that he had left the Sovereign Palace.

Thus, Luo Feng became the Overgod Emissary of the Sovereign of Death.
