The Agreement
The green-robed woman, who was actually Snake Spirit, led Rog and his companion out of the purple mist. With her as their guide, they encountered no danger along the way.
Beyond the purple mist lay a vast, open plain, overgrown with flowers and grass.
Looking up, one could see a purplish-black palace suspended in mid-air, hundreds of meters high, like a small mountain.
The top of this purplish-black palace is in the shape of a spire, and at the top of that spire is a huge, giant sphere.
The sphere flickered with endless lightning.
Originating from this giant sphere, numerous chains of lightning scattered and spread out in all directions, hanging down.
This is the end of that Heaven and Earth Chains.
"My lord, this is the palace where the Sovereign resides," the green-robed woman said cautiously. "I won't be able to go in with you two from here on out."
Rog nodded, not paying any attention.
"Come on up."
A cold voice simultaneously appeared in the minds of Rog and Haidisi.
Haidisi glanced at the expressionless Rog, then followed him as they flew towards the purplish-black palace.
Upon entering the palace, the interior was extremely spacious, without even a single pillar, except for a pure black throne in front of it.
At this moment, sitting on the throne was a woman dressed in a purple robe, embroidered with patterns of tree branches, vines, and silver snakes.
Blood-red long hair, a delicate face, and especially those eyes, which seemed to depict the cycle of life and death.
"As expected of the Sovereign of Death." Rog admired inwardly, knowing that there was no reincarnation in the Coiling Dragon World, and that special artistic conception probably originated from the effect of the ' Heart of the Netherworld ' that the other party possessed.
Greetings, Sovereign!
Upon seeing this great being, Haidisi immediately knelt down respectfully, and Rog also bowed slightly to show his reverence.
Honestly, I've been using this app to follow my favorite books lately. It has features like switching between different sources, multiple reading voice options, and it works on both Android and Apple devices.
The Sovereign of Death truly deserves to be one of the four most powerful beings in this world.
Because Rog had never been to the Nether Hotel before, and although Haidisi had the good fortune to meet the landlady who stayed at the Nether Hotel, she recognized her immediately but dared not say a word.
Even if the Sovereign were toying with them, they dared not utter a single complaint.
The Sovereign of Death found it quite amusing to catch a glimpse of Haidisi's momentary shock. Unfortunately, Rog hadn't seen her Water Element Divine Clone beforehand and missed witnessing the astonished expression of this Paragon High-God.
"Haidisi, now that you have obtained this Nether Fruit, according to the rules, you can become my Sovereign's Emissary and obtain a Sovereign Artifact from me." The Sovereign of Death first focused his gaze on Haidisi, who was prostrate on the ground, not daring to get up.
"Yes, Sovereign!" Haidisi was extremely respectful and was about to ask for a Sovereign Artifact. She cultivated the Water Law and had extraordinary defensive methods, but her offensive methods were quite limited. The best choice would actually be a long whip-type Offensive Sovereign Artifact.
However, she didn't dare to be too demanding about the type of weapon; even if it was Sovereign Artifact in the shape of a sword or saber, she would accept it.
"Let me remind you, eat the Nether Fruit before you ask me for this Sovereign Artifact. Don't you still have a Lightning Divine Clone?" The Sovereign of Death perhaps kindly reminded him out of respect for Rog.
Haidisi then realized that she hadn't eaten the Nether Fruit yet, almost ruining everything. Moreover, this Nether Fruit could elevate any weaker Divine Clone to the Asura level. Naturally, she didn't need to let her Water Element Divine Clone consume it; wouldn't it be better to let the Lightning Divine Clone left at the Nether Hotel take it directly?
Haidisi was so excited that she completely forgot about this.
Her Water Element Divine Clone's profound fusion level was already close to that of Asura. After consuming the Nether Fruit, it was only equivalent to an improvement of one level. However, her Lightning Divine Clone was only Midgod had fused three profound elements. After consuming the Nether Fruit, its improvement would naturally be even greater!
Moreover, those who cultivate the Laws of Lightning,
It's fast and powerful, but its defense is somewhat lacking. Therefore, what she needs most isn't Offensive Sovereign Artifact, but rather a Sovereign Artifact with a stronger defensive aspect! "Choose Material Defense Sovereign Artifact." At this moment, Rog's Soul Transmission suddenly appeared, Haidisi immediately spoke without hesitation, "Great Sovereign, I choose a Material Defense Sovereign Artifact."
The arrangements Rog made for her were naturally the best option.
"Your request is granted. This Purple Wisteria Armor is bestowed upon you. And this Sovereign’s Might is also granted to you." With a wave of his hand, the Sovereign of Death conjured an exquisite purple battle armor, a lady's armor woven from vines, along with a small bottle of gray Death Sovereign’s Might, roughly estimated to contain no less than a thousand drops.
Other Sovereign, when bestowing their Sovereign’s Might upon their messengers, cannot possibly grant a large quantity. To bestow even a few dozen drops at once is already considered a great favor. Of course, the case of Paragon High-God is a different matter.
The Sovereign of Death is quite generous with his resources.
"Rog, I heard what you said earlier, but it's not fair to exchange so much of what I have for just one promise of a helping hand." After dealing with Haidisi, the Sovereign of Death immediately turned his attention to Rog.
"This..." Rog was also a little embarrassed. Indeed, a thousand drops of Sovereign’s Might was not a big deal. When Sovereign being sought out at Paragon stage, the Sovereign’s Might bestowed was often more than that amount; tens of thousands of drops at a time were normal.
However, this time, because of Rog, the Sovereign of Death also lost a Nether Fruit and a Purple Wisteria Armor. Although this was a coincidence, Haidisi's ability to obtain the Nether Fruit was indeed inseparable from him. His promise of only helping once seemed somewhat inadequate.
Rog looked at the Sovereign of Death somewhat embarrassedly, "Sovereign, I recently reached the Paragon stage and plan to travel to various planes. I don't currently have any intention of serving as the Sovereign's Emissary. However, if you have any needs, I can lend a hand and do some things that it's inconvenient for the Sovereign to do himself."
Rog didn't specify the exact number, leaving it to the Sovereign of Death to decide. Moreover, as one of the Four Rules Sovereigns, the other party naturally wouldn't try to take advantage of Rog, a mere god.
"You're quite cunning..." The Sovereign of Death's handsome eyes lingered on his words, neither confirming nor denying Rog's statement.
The Sovereign is high above and does not do everything personally. There are even some things that the Sovereign cannot interfere with, such as important matters like going to the Material Plane to compete for the Overgod Token.
The Sovereign's Emissary often does these things on Sovereign. With the help of a Paragon High-God has reached the Overgod Token.
After a moment's thought, the Sovereign of Death nodded with pleasure. "Alright, I agree. Although you are not my messenger, and I cannot give you the Sovereign Artifact, it is alright to give you some Sovereign’s Might in advance."
With Rog's strength Paragon High-God, obtaining the Sovereign’s Might would not be difficult. However, besides the Sovereign’s Might, she really didn't have anything else to give.
"Thank you Sovereign."
Rog bowed slightly. Paragon can be arrogant, but one must still maintain the proper attitude before Sovereign. After all, although most Sovereign have not reached the Paragon realm, they are inherently powerful. Even if Paragon High-God looks down on Sovereign, there is nothing that can be done about it.
Therefore, although many Paragon refuse to Sovereign's Emissary, they will still have a certain degree of agreement with a certain Sovereign, just like Rog.
Many of the Paragon who appeared during the struggle for the Redbud Crystal Diamond in the original work were like Rog and the Sovereign of Death. They were not Sovereign's Emissary, but Paragon beings acted because the Sovereign intervened or because of some agreement.
Moreover, having made an agreement with the Sovereign of Death, he is, in a sense, backed by the Sovereign of Death. If he were to offend other Sovereign one day, he wouldn't be without a powerful backer.
He didn't lose out on this deal.
