Thoughts of All Parties

Sovereigns are common, but Paragon High-Gods are not.

Look at them now, they have forty-four Sovereigns here, but only eight Paragon High-Gods, including the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods.

"Hmm, if they're a Paragon, they do indeed qualify to observe the Sovereign meeting."

After the Death Sovereign spoke, Life Sovereign Vivian also nodded.

However, she meant that Roy qualified to observe, not to speak.

This was met with unanimous agreement from everyone.

Although a Paragon was invincible among Gods, the gap between them and Sovereigns was still too vast.

They admired the achievements of the Paragon in the Profound Mysteries of Laws, but that didn't mean the Paragon could sit as equals with them!

With the nods from Death Sovereign Lilia and Life Sovereign Vivian, let alone the Sovereigns below them, even Fate Sovereign Off and Destruction Sovereign Utred didn't say anything further.

In fact, it was just as Death Sovereign Lilia had said. From the perspective of the four Rule Sovereigns, the Sovereigns below them and Gods were no different; they were beings that could be casually swatted away.

In this light, a High-level God who was a Paragon was indeed valued more by the Rule Sovereigns than these Sovereigns.

"Regarding this Sovereign meeting, I have only one proposal."

"That is, to elevate the status of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods to that of Rule Sovereigns. Does anyone have any objections?"

"What? You want to elevate the status of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods?"

As soon as Fate Sovereign Off spoke, Boer Tie stepped forward to refuse. "Lord Sovereign, the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods are arrogant, rude, and conceited. If their status is further elevated, won't they become even more excessive in the future?"

"Indeed, the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods are, after all, only Lower Sovereigns. Elevating their status to Sovereign, I do not agree."

With a leader, other Sovereigns who had grievances with the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods stepped forward one after another to object.

"Heh..."

Nimo Lord God let out a cold laugh upon hearing these words.

This only caused the voices of these Sovereigns to grow louder in their denunciation.

However, as time passed, the bickering Sovereigns finally realized that those who expressed refusal to elevate the status of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods were only the Middle and Lower Sovereigns, like them, mere shrimp.

The seven Rule Sovereigns and the other three Rule Sovereigns had not spoken to express their opposition.

Finally, one of the Rule Sovereigns couldn't help but speak.

"Shut up, you fools."

"At the first Sovereign meeting billions of years ago, the four Rule Sovereigns established the Sovereign Covenant, stipulating that High Sovereigns shall not attack Lower Sovereigns without cause, nor shall they arbitrarily hunt and kill Lower Sovereigns."

"The Four Divine Beast Lord Gods were originally only Lower Sovereigns. According to the covenant established at the first Sovereign meeting, they can arbitrarily hunt and kill all Sovereigns without violating the Sovereign Covenant."

"And with the current strength of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods, even we seven Rule Sovereigns would find it difficult to escape their hunt."

"If the status of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods is not elevated to Sovereign, then within hundreds of millions of years, you Middle and Lower Sovereigns will inevitably have your Sovereign Sparks become the sustenance for the rise of the Four Divine Beast Family, unless you flee to the material planes of your birth."

"This..."

What this Rule Sovereign said immediately enlightened the opposing Sovereigns.

Yes, the Sovereign Covenant stipulated that High Sovereigns could not kill Lower Sovereigns without reason. If the status of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods was judged solely by their Sovereign Spark rank, then all of them, without exception, would be unable to escape.

Upon thinking of this, the Sovereigns who had just opposed the elevation of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods' status immediately retracted their objections, agreeing to have the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods enter the Sovereign sequence.

This way, as long as they didn't provoke the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods, the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods could not attack them.

After giving the Water Element Rule Sovereign a deep look, the four Leiding brothers said nothing further.

Originally, the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods had considered obtaining Sovereign Sparks for their children to become Sovereigns as well. But after hearing what the Water Element Sovereign said, they immediately decided to kill the Water Element Sovereign as well, along with the Earth Sovereign, after they killed the Earth Sovereign.

The Water Element Sovereign naturally saw Leiding's gaze, but he merely smiled slightly at this.

Just before this, the four Sovereigns of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind had already secretly formed an alliance. Once they detected any movement from the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods, they would quickly converge in pairs, giving the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods no opportunity to pick them off one by one.

After all, judging from the previous battle between the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods and the former Fate Sovereign Collet, the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods' only threat to Sovereigns was their fused innate divine ability.

With two Sovereigns present, they could split the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods apart. If they prevented them from converging, there would be a chance to counter-kill the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods and obtain four Lower Sovereign Sparks.

Under the condition that they could not attack Lower Sovereigns, perhaps these four Sovereign Sparks of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods would be their greatest opportunity.

After elevating the status of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods, if the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods still wished to contend for Sovereign Sparks for their children, they could only target the four of them.

In this situation, they were both bait and hunters.

Of course, this was a more euphemistic way of putting it.

The Rule Sovereigns would not interfere in the struggles between those of the same rank.

If one's strength was insufficient, then dying was their own fault.

As long as the status of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods was elevated to Sovereign, they could openly attack the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods and obtain four Lower Sovereign Sparks.

Thinking of this, the Water Element Sovereign couldn't help but glance at the Bright Sovereign.

With just the four of them, they wouldn't have come up with this plan.

It was only after receiving the reminder from Bright Sovereign August that the four Sovereigns of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire decided to take a gamble for these four Sovereign Sparks.

Upon hearing the agreement of these Sovereigns, Fate Sovereign nodded.

"In that case, I declare…"

"Wait…"

Just as the Fate Sovereign Off was about to announce the promotion of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods to the Sovereign level, the Leding Lord God, who had received Roy's telepathic message, quickly spoke up.

"Oh? Leding Lord God, do you have something to add?"

Although his words were rudely interrupted by Leding, the Fate Sovereign Off still asked Leding kindly.

"Yes, Sovereign Lord."

"As you know, we Four Divine Beast Lord Gods can only rival the Law Sovereigns when we are together."

"How about this: when the four of us brothers are together, our status is Sovereign."

"But when we are separated, our status is merely that of a Lower Sovereign. That would be more reasonable."

At this moment, the Leding Lord God's back was soaked in cold sweat.

If not for his Fifth Brother's reminder, the four of them would still be immersed in the joy of their status elevation, unaware of the hidden dangers.

The Water Element Sovereign, who had been smiling moments ago, had his smile falter slightly.

The other Sovereigns of Earth, Fire, and Wind also stiffened slightly.

What the heck? These arrogant Four Divine Beast Sovereigns were actually saying something like this?

Weren't they supposed to be strutting around with their noses in the air?

Why the change of heart?

The problem was, with this move, their own plans would have to change as well!

"Hmm, what you said also makes a lot of sense. My apologies, that was my oversight."

The Fate Sovereign Off apologized to Leding with a smile, then continued, "However, all four of you are Paragon Lower Sovereigns, and the strength of your divine bodies has reached the level of Lord God Artifacts, making your power comparable to Middle Sovereigns."

"How about this: when you Four Divine Beast Sovereigns are together, your status will be equivalent to a Sovereign."

"When you are separated, your status will be equivalent to a Middle Sovereign. What do you think of this decision?"

Seeing Roy give a slight nod out of the corner of his eye, Leding agreed.

"Everything is as the Sovereign commands."

The strength displayed by the Fate Sovereign Off and the Destruction Sovereign Utred in their recent battle was enough to make the Four Divine Beast Sovereigns put away their arrogance.

Not every Rule Sovereign was as incompetent as Collet.

"And what about the rest of you? Do you have any objections?"

"No."

A group of Sovereigns shook their heads.

Although they were unhappy about the Four Divine Beast Sovereigns' elevated status, at least they were safe.

They would just stay far away from them in the future.

…

The battles and agreements among the Sovereigns had little to do with the gods themselves.

However, through the Sovereigns' brief exchanges, the attendants who had long accompanied them learned a crucial piece of information—

After billions of years, the first Paragon High-God, other than the Sovereigns, had appeared!

This news spread like wildfire throughout the seven God Planes and the four Supreme Planes.

Instantly, countless powerful High-Gods, who were stuck at a bottleneck, rushed to the Infernal Realm, eager to witness just how strong the rumored "invincible Paragon" truly was.

They even wanted to ask for guidance on their next steps.

For a time, an influx of High-Gods into the Infernal Realm turned it into a scene of prosperity.

At almost every moment, slaughter, death, and plunder unfolded in the Infernal Realm.

It was precisely because of these people flooding into the Infernal Realm that the reputation of the Four Divine Beast Family was somewhat restored.

Within the cities controlled by the Four Divine Beast Family, whether they were small, medium, or large cities, fighting was strictly prohibited.

Once discovered, members of the Four Divine Beast Family would consider it a provocation to their authority and would attack anyone fighting within the city.

And it so happened that most members of the Four Divine Beast Family possessed Sovereign Power. Thus, almost everyone who dared to fight within the cities controlled by the Four Divine Beast Family was immediately killed, effectively deterring these lawless High-Gods.

Under these circumstances, many people who were not very strong, or who had just entered the God Planes or Supreme Planes from the material planes, chose cities controlled by the Four Divine Beast Family as their first destination.

Whether it was in terms of reputation or resources, the Four Divine Beast Family had profited immensely from this wave!

More importantly, many of the people who remained in the cities naturally developed a favorable impression of the members of the Four Divine Beast Family, indirectly increasing the population of the family. This led to a significant increase in the number of members of the Four Divine Beast Family over the past ten thousand years.

…

In the next chapter, numerous God-level experts will truly experience what it means to be an "invincible" Paragon.

We will meet again promptly at noon tomorrow.
