Destruction Sovereign's Challenge

A new Fate Sovereign was born. The four High-level Gods under the former Fate Sovereign Collet – Manlu, Boer Tie, Mu Ya, and Karl – all began flying from the spatial turbulence towards the Destiny Supreme Plane to pledge their allegiance to the new Fate Sovereign.

The new Fate Sovereign, who was very approachable, accepted their allegiance.

"Boom!"

At this moment, a powerful pressure descended upon the Destiny Supreme Plane. Manlu, Boer Tie, Mu Ya, and Karl, the four High-level Gods, were instantly sweating profusely from the immense pressure.

All beings within the entire Destiny Supreme Plane were pressed to the ground, forced to kneel by this overwhelming power.

"A Sovereign... has descended?"

Within the Destiny Supreme Plane, the beings who felt this pressure all had this realization dawn upon them.

Some High-level Gods, who had lived through that most chaotic era, suddenly changed their expressions.

Could it be that a new round of Sovereign wars was about to begin?

The next moment, an identical pressure erupted from the Destiny Supreme Plane, counteracting the oppressive power that had engulfed the entire plane.

"The Sovereigns... are fighting?"

"Hmph!"

A cold snort echoed throughout the Destiny Supreme Plane.

Following that, the voice of Destruction Sovereign Utred resonated within the Destiny Supreme Plane.

"New Fate Sovereign. Because you've only just become a Sovereign, you haven't yet nurtured your own Lord God Artifact. I will give you billions of years to nurture your artifact."

"After billions of years, I will challenge you. I will see if you are worthy of becoming the new Rule Sovereign."

"If I deem you unfit to be a Rule Sovereign, I will personally kill you then. I hope you cherish these final billions of years as a Sovereign."

"These might be your last moments!"

After uttering these words, Destruction Sovereign Utred turned and left the Destiny Supreme Plane.

Only after the power of the two Sovereigns dissipated from the Destiny Supreme Plane did the beings there erupt into a massive uproar.

The bad news: The Fate Sovereign had fallen!

The good news: A new Fate Sovereign had taken the position!

The news that was neither good nor bad: In billions of years, the new Fate Sovereign would face a challenge from the Destruction Sovereign and would be killed if their strength was insufficient.

"Sovereigns... can actually fall!"

"Heh, you youngsters are still too inexperienced..."

Upon hearing this, the High-level Gods, who had lived for trillions of years, shook their heads and sighed, their eyes revealing a sense of melancholy towards the passage of time, as they witnessed the junior cultivators' expressions of shattered faith.

Amidst the fawning of their juniors, the elders half-heartedly began recounting that most chaotic era.

"Back then, the world was in chaos. The wars between Sovereigns raged from the God Planes to the Supreme Planes, and even into the spatial turbulence. The number of gods who died from the collateral damage of these Sovereign wars was immeasurable."

"Even over thirty Sovereigns ultimately perished..."

The High-level Gods tacitly avoided mentioning the reasons why those Sovereigns had died.

"So, even among Sovereigns, there are differences in strength, just like with gods..."

"Isn't that obvious? They're all High-level Gods. Can someone at Paragon be on the same level as someone who isn't?"

"Sirs, there have always been legends about Paragon circulating in the world. What exactly is Paragon, and how powerful is it?"

"Paragon. It first began to spread among the Sovereigns."

"Tens of trillions of years ago, the cultivation of gods involved comprehending the Profound Mysteries of Laws. Upon fully grasping all the Profound Mysteries of Laws, one would become the strongest High-level God."

"It wasn't until the appearance of Sovereigns that everyone realized that the Profound Mysteries of Laws could be fused. With each additional fusion of Profound Mysteries of Laws, one's strength would increase tenfold."

The surrounding listeners, who were diligently listening to the old man's words, all nodded.

What was now common knowledge in the God Planes and Supreme Planes was a secret known only to Sovereigns tens of trillions of years ago.

"The so-called Paragon refers to monstrous individuals who have completely fused an entire system of Profound Mysteries of Laws. They are beings so powerful that even Sovereigns would acknowledge them as 'invincible'."

"Invincible Paragon..."

The gods of yesteryear, listening to the old man's words, their eyes were filled with longing.

"Then, sirs, has anyone achieved Paragon by now?"

"Heh heh, how could that be? Tens of trillions of years have passed. Many powerful High-level Gods have appeared, but to call them invincible Paragon... heh heh..."

The news of Destruction Sovereign Utred challenging the new Fate Sovereign had caused a massive stir, not only among the Sovereigns but also among all the gods.

The Coiling Dragon Universe had a total of seventy-seven Godheads. Each element had one Sovereign.

Among the eleven Sovereign Godheads, the Willpower of the four Rule Sovereign Godheads was twenty percent stronger than that of the Elemental Sovereigns. Therefore, the four Rule Sovereigns stood at the absolute pinnacle of Sovereigns.

The agreement that all Sovereigns had to abide by was overseen by the four Rule Sovereigns.

However, unfortunately, the fact that Fate Sovereign Collet was killed by the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods this time had damaged the authority of the four Rule Sovereigns among the Sovereigns.

In order to maintain the supreme authority of the Rule Sovereigns, Destruction Sovereign Utred chose to challenge the new Rule Sovereign.

Life Sovereign Vivian, like Destruction Sovereign Utred, was at Paragon, and her strength was not inferior to Utred's.

And the Death Sovereign…

The four Supreme Planes were created by the four Supreme Gods themselves.

Utred, the first life born in the Infernal Realm's Supreme Plane, called himself the Divine Beast "Wu Kun."

And the first to speak to Utred after his birth was the Death Sovereign.

This meant that the Death Sovereign was born even earlier than Utred.

Although being born earlier didn't necessarily mean being stronger, as the first life born in a Supreme Plane, the Destruction Sovereign Utred didn't dare to underestimate the Death Sovereign in the slightest.

Only the Fate Sovereign Collet was truly too incompetent.

This time, the Destruction Sovereign Utred was determined. If the new Fate Sovereign was as incompetent as Collet, he would personally kill him.

...

Several hundred more years passed, and looking at the hotel that had been completed before him, Roy sighed.

His Four Divine Beast Lord God brothers still hadn't come to Netherworld Mountain to find him; he missed them!

"Lord Sovereign, the hotel is finished."

Roy put down the rag in his hand and walked to the edge of the lake, speaking to the Death Sovereign who was fishing.

Yes, the one fishing here now was the Death Sovereign's Lord God clone.

Casually reeling in the fishing rod, the Death Sovereign followed Roy towards the hotel, carrying the rod.

For this hotel, Roy chose the style of Chinese palace complexes from his previous life.

Each building was layered and distinct, simple yet grand. The hotel as a whole harmonized with Netherworld Mountain, giving it a sense of quiet elegance and profound distance.

At the entrance of the hotel, there was a wooden signboard with the four large characters "Netherworld Hotel" on it.

"Hmm, not bad."

The Death Sovereign nodded with satisfaction. The hotel suited his taste.

"Then, Lord Sovereign, can I go back now?"

"Go back?"

"Roy, you don't think this empty hotel can stop me from being bored, do you?"

"Sigh…"

"I'll arrange it right away."

Roy, who had long since lost hope in the Death Sovereign's credibility, simply sighed. He sent a divine sense to Shelley on Lotus Rock Island, instructing her to spread the word that a Lord Sovereign resided on Netherworld Mountain and that anyone who obtained the treasure called "Netherworld Fruit" from Netherworld Mountain would be summoned by the Lord Sovereign and might become their envoy.

"Oh, right, Lord Sovereign."

Roy, as if he suddenly remembered something, said to the Death Sovereign, "Why don't you let your Water Element Divine Clone be the owner of the Netherworld Hotel here? He can fish in the lake in front normally and watch the gods' performances to amuse himself."

"Just imagine it: when these gods, after going through immense hardship, obtain the Netherworld Fruit and go to the Lord Sovereign's palace to see your face, their reactions will be the most interesting."

"Who would have thought that the Lord Sovereign they yearned for would be the hotel owner they saw every day?"

The Death Sovereign's eyes lit up.

"Ho ho ho ho…"

Patting Roy's shoulder, the Death Sovereign was overjoyed.

Just thinking about such a scene made her feel it was incredibly amusing.

She really, really wanted to see this happen.

"Good, good."

"Roy, just for this idea you just shared, I've decided to give you a reward."

"Uh…"

Roy grinned. The Death Sovereign's body was so strong!

Just a few light pats had almost fractured his shoulder blade.

It was definitely Lord God Artifact level!

"Lord Sovereign, you see, can I go back?"

"Heh, Roy, you're overthinking things, aren't you?"

The Death Sovereign looked at Roy with disdain. "You need to understand that making you find amusement for me is my punishment for you not being able to make me think of owing you a favor. As for giving you a reward, that's a reward!"

"With me, there's no such thing as rewards and punishments canceling each other out. Punishment is punishment, and reward is reward!"

"…"

"Oh, right."

Suddenly, the Death Sovereign seemed to remember something and showed Roy a mischievous smile.

"In a billion years, I'll take you to watch a battle between Lord Sovereigns. This reward, pretty good, right?"

"A battle between Lord Sovereigns? That's something I can get behind."

Roy's eyes lit up at the Death Sovereign's reward, and he quickly nodded.

He also wanted to see how much of a gap there was between himself and the Sovereign.

Seeing that Roy's focus wasn't on the "hundreds of millions of years," the Death Sovereign nodded in satisfaction.

That way, he wouldn't be bored for hundreds of millions of years!

...

At the foot of Netherworld Mountain, Roy, dressed in a short tunic, leaned against the entrance of Netherworld Mountain, closing his eyes to cultivate.

That's right, after being forcibly appointed by the Death Sovereign, Roy had become a "waiter" at the Netherworld Hotel, responsible for receiving people who came to Netherworld Mountain from various planes to find the Sovereign, and introducing them to some rules.

When he didn't sense anyone arriving, Roy used his fragmented time to cultivate.

While this didn't allow him to cultivate as fast as dedicated closed-door seclusion, it was still better than doing nothing.

From the Death Sovereign, Roy had already understood the importance of strength.

If your strength isn't enough, you don't even have the right to say "no."

...

The next chapter is a hundred words short, so it might be a few minutes late.
