"Laws of Heaven and Earth..."
The Sovereign Lords looked at the Four Divine Beast Sovereign Lords, who were enveloped by the descent of the Laws of Heaven and Earth, their expressions unreadable.
Although the Four Divine Beast Sovereign Lords were only Lower Sovereign Lords, their physical strength rivaled Lord God Artifacts, and each of them was the strongest among the Lower Sovereign Lords.
In the first Sovereign Lord War, the Four Divine Beast Sovereign Lords had already established their formidable reputations.
One Lightning Element Mid-level Sovereign Lord had perished under their combined innate divine abilities.
If it hadn't been for other Sovereign Lords vying with the four of them for that Lightning Element Sovereign Godhead at the time, the Four Divine Beast Sovereign Lord Family might have gained another Lightning Element Mid-level Sovereign Lord.
Now, the Four Divine Beast Sovereign Lords had become Paragon Lower Sovereign Lords, and coupled with their physical strength that rivaled Lord God Artifacts, each of them could now contend with Mid-level Sovereign Lords.
In that case, could their combined innate divine abilities kill a Sovereign Lord?
Upon thinking of this, the four Rule Sovereigns were relatively unfazed, but the seven Law Sovereigns felt a stirring of unease.
Mere Lower Sovereign Lords could be killed with a flick of their wrists.
Yet, the Four Divine Beast Sovereign Lords were the exception.
Now that the Four Divine Beast Sovereign Lords had reached Paragon, they could even threaten their lives.
"Indeed, among us Sovereign Lords, four Paragons have finally appeared again."
Life Sovereign Vivian nodded with a smile.
"Mhm, it's acceptable."
Destruction Sovereign Utred also nodded.
Among all the Sovereign Lords, only Life Sovereign Vivian, who was also a Paragon, could earn his respect.
The other non-Paragon Sovereign Lords were merely a group of incredibly lucky individuals.
Now that the Four Divine Beast Sovereign Lords had achieved Paragon, they had earned the qualification to be regarded by Destruction Sovereign Utred.
Death Sovereign Lilia narrowed her eyes, saying nothing. In truth, her thoughts were not on the Four Divine Beast Sovereign Lords, but on that one Paragon she couldn't fathom.
To become a Paragon, talent, willpower, and luck were all indispensable.
If only one or two of the Four Divine Beast Sovereign Lords had become Paragon, it wouldn't have been unusual. This was because each person's opportunities and luck differed; a sudden flash of inspiration at a particular moment, allowing them to find the perfect juncture with the Profound Mysteries of Laws, was possible.
But for the Four Divine Beast Sovereign Lords to all advance to Paragon at the same time, Death Sovereign did not believe that the Paragon named "Roy" had had no hand in it.
Such a coincidence simply could not exist.
If it did, it could only be artificially created.
The Four Divine Beast Sovereign Lords had lived for tens of trillions of years; their spiritual essence had long since been depleted. If they were to become Paragon, they would have done so long ago.
And coincidentally, that individual was an elder of the Four Divine Beast Family.
"Congratulations, congratulations."
Regardless of the envy in the hearts of these Sovereign Lords, after the fluctuations of the Laws of Heaven and Earth subsided, they all offered their congratulations to the Four Divine Beast Sovereign Lords.
Of course, they were also very curious as to how the Four Divine Beast Sovereign Lords had become Paragon.
However, most of them were no longer qualified to ask the Four Divine Beast Sovereign Lords directly.
Unless, it was those few Sovereign Lords.
For a moment, the gazes of these Sovereign Lords turned towards Death Sovereign and Fate Sovereign.
Among the four Rule Sovereigns, only they were not Paragons.
The Four Divine Beast Sovereign Lords also accepted the congratulations from the various Sovereign Lords. Naturally, their gazes were primarily directed at Death Sovereign and Fate Sovereign.
"Uninteresting."
Sensing the gazes of the assembled Sovereign Lords, Death Sovereign felt a sense of boredom.
He immediately turned and left.
Seeing that the Sovereign Lords remained silent, the other Sovereign Lords naturally would not seek to embarrass themselves and returned to their respective residences.
"Hahaha, look at the expressions on their faces, it truly makes one's mood pleasant."
"Exactly, especially those seven Law Sovereigns. Before, they used to glare at us, practically itching to make a move. Now, each of them runs faster than a rat when they see us."
"It's a pity, our speed is still a little lacking."
Just then, Nimo uttered a sentence that caused the Four Divine Beast Sovereign Lords to fall silent for a moment.
With their countless years of brotherhood, their hearts were connected. Nimo had only hinted at it, and they immediately understood what Nimo was thinking.
"Nimo, are you thinking of...?"
"Mhm, Fifth Brother is precisely a Paragon of the Earth Element. If we secretly kill the Earth Element Sovereign Lord and let Fifth Brother become the Earth Element Sovereign Lord, then our Four Divine Beast Family will have five Sovereign Lords."
"Third Brother, that's a great idea, I agree."
"You shut up. No matter what, we are still only Lower Sovereign Lords. Even if we become Paragon, combined with our physical condition, we are only at the level of ordinary Gods. Our speed cannot match the Earth Element Sovereign Lord. If he manages to escape, we will only be able to find a Mid-level Sovereign Godhead for Fifth Brother in the future."
"How about this? The five of us will take turns tempering Fifth Brother's Lord God Artifact, and then we'll keep a close watch on the Earth Element Sovereign Lord. As soon as the Earth Element Sovereign Lord is alone, we'll find an opportunity and use our innate divine abilities to kill him directly!"
"Alright."
Just as the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods were discussing how to get Roy a Lightning Element Lord Godhead, a figure attacked from the spatial turbulence.
"Careful!"
Azure Dragon Sovereign Leding shouted in alarm, quickly warning his brothers.
He himself stepped forward, clenched his fist, and struck out.
"Boom!"
The brilliant light and shadow within the spatial turbulence were all violently deflected by this immense power.
"Crack..."
Lord God Leding's right hand was directly fractured by the opponent's attack. Then, this same hand thrust forward, smashing into Lord God Leding's chest.
"Boom!"
"Pfft..."
Lord God Leding's body was directly shattered, spewing countless drops of blood, and he was sent flying far away into the spatial turbulence.
"Big Brother!"
The other three Four Divine Beast Lord Gods were immediately shocked. Us, the Wind Element Lord God, was the fastest and immediately flew to catch Lord God Leding.
Meanwhile, Lord God Nimo and Lord God Bowen, with solemn expressions, blocked the attacker's path.
One had to understand that the bodies of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods were comparable to Lord God Artifacts.
Being able to fracture Lord God Leding's arm and heavily injure his chest meant the attacker possessed the strength to shatter Lord God Artifacts.
Amongst Lord Gods, to shatter an opponent's Lord God Artifact, one typically needed strength a hundred times greater than the opponent.
The Four Divine Beast Lord Gods currently possessed strength comparable to Gods. The only ones capable of heavily injuring Lord God Leding with a single blow were Sovereigns!
As expected, after being blocked by Lord God Nimo and Lord God Bowen, the attacker revealed their true form.
It was Fate Sovereign Collet!
"It's you, Fate Sovereign!"
The Four Divine Beast Lord Gods were shocked, but then grew enraged.
"Collet!"
"You're asking for death!"
At this point, the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods couldn't even be bothered to utter the word "Sovereign" and directly called out Fate Sovereign Collet's name.
"Hmph, Four Divine Beast Lord Gods, you were just plotting to attack other Lord Gods. As the maintainer of order among Lord Gods, I have a duty to punish you."
Collet stated righteously.
Of course, this was just the surface explanation.
Because at this moment, the other Lord Gods were all projecting their divine senses into the spatial turbulence.
A battle between Lord Gods, and with Fate Sovereign personally intervening, against the newly Paragon Four Divine Beast Lord Gods, everyone wanted to know what was going on.
Secretly, Collet transmitted a message to the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods: "Leding, if you tell me the secret of how you achieved Paragon, I can absolve you of your crimes. At most, I'll give you a verbal reprimand."
Nimo's expression drastically changed.
Their recent conversation had actually been overheard by Fate Sovereign?
And Fate Sovereign had directly revealed it?
If the Earth Element Sovereign never left their home, how would they manage to get a Lord Godhead for their Fifth Brother?
Before Nimo could say anything, Lord God Leding, the Azure Dragon Sovereign, and Lord God Us, the White Tiger Sovereign, approached rapidly. Simultaneously, Lord God Leding loudly cursed, "Collet, don't dream! We won't be threatened by you into revealing the secret of how we achieved Paragon!"
Lord God Leding's words directly exposed Collet's attempt to threaten them through telepathic communication.
This immediately made the other Lord Gods believe that the Four Divine Beasts' supposed plot to attack other Lord Gods was merely a frame-up by Fate Sovereign Collet, who wanted to obtain the secret of their Paragon.
The other three also realized what was happening.
Big Brother Leding was using the four of them as a diversion, preventing everyone from focusing on their brothers' intention to kill the Earth Element Sovereign.
This way, they still had a chance to obtain a Sovereign-level Lord Godhead for their Fifth Brother.
"Exactly, Collet, we won't be threatened by you! If you want the secret of Paragon, you'll have to pay with your life!"
After speaking, Lord God Nimo and Lord God Bowen flew backward, intending to rejoin their elder brothers.
Facing a Sovereign, especially a Rule Sovereign who was twenty percent stronger than a Law Sovereign, the four of them, unless they used their combined innate divine ability, had absolutely no power to resist.
Fate Sovereign Collet was also aware of this.
He didn't want to test whether he could withstand the innate divine ability of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods.
At that moment, Collet rapidly flew through the spatial turbulence, catching up to Lord God Nimo and Lord God Bowen, and brought his palms down.
"Boom!"
"Pfft..."
"Pfft..."
"Third Brother, Fourth Brother!"
With a power gap of over a hundred times, Nimo Lord God and Lord God Bowen had no power to resist in front of the Fate Sovereign. Their bodies were cracked, and blood splattered in the spatial turbulence.
Leding Lord God and Us Lord God flew towards the battered Nimo Lord God and Lord God Bowen, attempting to reunite with their three brothers.
But unfortunately, their intentions were seen through by the Fate Sovereign Collet.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Thus, in the spatial turbulence, this scene unfolded—
The Four Divine Beast Lord Gods desperately tried to regroup, while the Fate Sovereign Collet desperately tried to stop them.
At this moment, one could see just how powerful a Lord God whose body was comparable to a Lord God Artifact truly was.
Other Gods facing a Sovereign would have their defenses shattered by the first attack and be killed by the second.
But the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods were different.
Their bodies were comparable to Lord God Artifacts, but in essence, they were still their own divine bodies.
For Gods and Lord Gods, if their divine bodies were broken, they could quickly recover by expending Sovereign Power.
