Lilia, Greetings Sovereign!

"Greetings, Lord Sovereign."

"Greetings, Lord Sovereign!"

On the castle walls, circles of purple mist were fixed in place, forming mystical patterns.

The electrical light emitted from these purple mists illuminated the entire castle in purple.

"Rise."

On his throne, Roy opened his eyes.

After thousands of years of secluded cultivation, the strength of his soul power had not even doubled.

It seemed that future cultivation would require exponentially more time.

"Thank you, Lord Sovereign."

After the four rose to their feet, Shelley consciously walked onto the high platform of the great hall, standing behind Roy.

"Gaia."

"Lord Sovereign, I am here."

"There's no need for such formalities, Gaia."

Roy waved his hand and said, "Your father and uncles and I all address each other as brothers."

"If you don't mind, you can call me Fifth Uncle."

Roy's words almost made the four present break down.

Although they all knew that Roy had been a Paragon elder of the Four Divine Beast Family before becoming a Lord Sovereign, they never imagined that the Star Sovereign Yi would have such a close relationship with the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods!

Especially Gaia.

Before coming to the Star Mist Sea, the Azure Dragon Sovereign had specifically instructed her to respect the Star Sovereign as she would a parent.

Now, Gaia understood.

"Yes, Fifth Uncle."

"Mm."

"By the way, Gaia, do you wish to become my emissary?"

"I do, Fifth Uncle!"

Now that she knew of the Star Sovereign's close relationship with her father's generation, Gaia no longer hesitated and agreed immediately.

This was a tremendous opportunity!

With an additional offensive Lord God Artifact, Gaia's strength would surpass that of the family patriarch, Gaisleith, making her the true number one in the Four Divine Beast Family!

"Mm, then I shall bestow this offensive Lord God Artifact upon you for self-defense."

With that, Roy produced a spear from his spatial ring and used his divine power to levitate it before Gaia.

"Thank you, Fifth Uncle, Gaia is grateful."

"You're welcome. Every Sovereign's Emissary receives a Lord God Artifact from the Sovereign. This is an agreement between the Sovereign and the emissary."

"Next, Gaia, I appoint you as the commander of the Star Sovereign Legion, responsible for all matters concerning the Star Legion."

"As you command, Lord Sovereign."

After bowing to Roy, Gaia temporarily retreated to the side.

"Atley, you pledged your loyalty to me on the Muba Plane, so you shall follow Gaia and serve as her deputy."

"Yes, Lord Sovereign."

After bowing, Atley retreated behind Gaia.

From this moment on, he was Gaia's subordinate.

"Nathaniel."

"Lord Sovereign, I am here."

"I promised that if you handed over the Earth Lord Godhead to me, I would protect you and owe you a favor."

"Do you have any matters for which you need to use this favor now?"

"This..."

Hearing Roy's question, Nathaniel hesitated.

In his mind, he naturally wanted to become Roy's emissary and receive a Lord God Artifact for self-defense.

However, he also knew that his own strength was too pathetic. Even if he obtained a Lord God Artifact, his strength would at most be around a Six-star Devil, and he would feel ashamed to even step out.

But if he didn't want a Lord God Artifact, what should he use this favor for?

"I see you haven't quite decided what you truly want."

Seeing Nathaniel's prolonged silence, Roy understood and directly said, "How about this, for now, you can temporarily stay in this castle and help me manage the plants here, and also receive and entertain the people who come to see me."

"Whenever you want to ask me for this favor, just ask me directly."

"Yes, thank you, Lord Sovereign."

Hearing Roy's words, Nathaniel was so grateful that he knelt before Roy.

Roy's arrangement was exactly what he wanted.

Taking care of the plants in the castle could be considered menial work.

But this was a Sovereign's menial work; who wouldn't give you some respect if you mentioned it?

It was safe, and it came with status and respect. Why wouldn't he accept it?

After making these arrangements, Gaia took Atley to busy herself with forming the Sovereign Legion, while Nathaniel bowed and exited the castle to begin his work.

At this moment, in Roy's Sovereign Palace, only Roy and Shelley were left.

"Lord Roy, over five thousand years ago, the Sovereign asked me to deliver a message to you."

"Hmm?"

Roy frowned.

The Sovereign Shelley mentioned could only be the ill-tempered Death Sovereign.

"What did she say?"

"The Sovereign said that what you lost is in her hands. If you want it, she told you to go directly to Netherworld Mountain to see her."

"Heh…"

Hearing this, Roy let out a cold laugh.

What had they lost five thousand years ago?

He had been wondering how that Water Element Lord Godhead disappeared in the blink of an eye. So, it was taken by the Death Sovereign.

As for the Death Sovereign saying he could just go to Netherworld Mountain to see her if he wanted it?

Roy didn't believe that statement one bit.

The Death Sovereign also had a Water Element Divine Clone. A Water Element High Lord Godhead could allow the Death Sovereign to have another Sovereign-level Divine Clone. It was highly unlikely she would give it to him.

Based on Roy's understanding of the Death Sovereign's wicked sense of humor, this woman most likely wanted him to go see her with great anticipation, and then, in front of him, have her Water Element Divine Clone refine the Godhead, just to see his expression and entertain herself.

Thinking of this, Roy directly said to Shelley, "Shelley, tell her that I will never go to Netherworld Mountain. I will never go in my life!"

"If she wants that thing, consider it a gift from me."

"This…"

Shelley hesitated.

She felt like there might be some misunderstanding between her two Sovereign masters.

It seemed like the Sovereign of Netherworld Mountain was trying every way to get Lord Roy to see her, while Lord Roy was somewhat disdainful of the Sovereign of Netherworld Mountain?

She was just a maid, an emissary. Being caught between two Sovereigns made her feel very uncomfortable…

So, Shelley timidly spoke up, "Lord Roy, I think, is there a possibility that the Sovereign doesn't want that thing, but rather wants to see you?"

"Ah? She wouldn't want it?"

Roy scoffed, but he didn't say anything more to Shelley.

"As for wanting to see me, why doesn't she come to Hell to see me herself? It's not like I want to see her…"

…

"Did he really say that?"

In the Death Sovereign's palace on Netherworld Mountain, the Death Sovereign tapped her knee with her index finger, her expression stern.

"Yes, Lord Roy said that he is giving that thing to you as a gift."

"Heh heh…"

A smile with an unreadable meaning appeared on the Death Sovereign's lips.

"She's really generous, giving away a High Lord Godhead like that."

"Does she really not want to see me that much?"

"Truly—"

"So interesting!"

"As expected, my premonition was completely correct."

"As long as it has even the slightest connection to him, it's more interesting to me than watching those people fight."

After indulging in this peculiar feeling in her heart for a while, the Death Sovereign stretched and stood up from her divine throne.

"Swish!"

The Death Sovereign tore open a spatial rift in the space of the Netherworld. In Shelley's bewildered gaze, the Death Sovereign stepped into the spatial turbulence.

With the Death Sovereign's speed, it wouldn't take long to travel from the spatial turbulence of the Netherworld to Hell.

After locating the Star Mist Sea in the Infernal Realm, the Death Sovereign tore through space, and a young girl with red hair and green clothes emerged from the spatial rift.

Her divine sense spread out, and the red-haired, green-clothed girl quickly flew towards the sky above the Star Mist Sea.

"So beautiful!"

Upon seeing the floating castle above the purple mist, the girl's eyes revealed an expression of awe.

"What was built for me is just an ordinary Netherworld Hotel."

"What I live in myself is a floating castle..."

"Crack crack crack..."

The lightning in the purple mist struck the green-clothed girl like ferocious pythons, but none of them managed to inflict any damage on her.

"This is the Star Sovereign's castle, outsiders are forbidden!"

Seeing someone intruding into the castle, Nathaniel, who was tidying up the surroundings outside the castle, quickly came out to stop her.

"I am an old acquaintance of your Sovereign. Go in and announce me, see if he will see me."

"Is that so?"

Nathaniel glanced at the girl with confusion. "Alright, then wait here. I'll go ask now."

"No need, Nathaniel. Bring her in directly."

Just then, Roy's voice came from inside the castle. Nathaniel quickly bowed, "As you command, Sovereign."

"Esteemed Sir, please this way!"

...

"Lord Roy, the Sovereign has entered the spatial turbulence. Do you think she might have come to the Infernal Realm?" Shelley said softly from behind Roy.

"Hmm?"

Roy was startled. The Death Sovereign, what was she planning now?

Not long after, Roy's divine sense sensed that the space above the Star Mist Sea was torn apart, and the Death Sovereign's soul aura appeared within his perception.

Moreover, it was approaching this way.

This woman actually found her way to the Infernal Realm.

What exactly did she want?

Upon sensing the Death Sovereign's arrival at the castle, Roy directly transmitted a message to Nathaniel.

"No need, Nathaniel. Bring her in directly."

However, the first action the Death Sovereign took after entering the castle almost confused Roy.

When the green-clothed girl entered the castle's main hall with Nathaniel, she respectfully bowed to Roy, "Lilia, greetings, Sovereign!"

"What?"

Roy was startled by the sudden bow from the Death Sovereign.

"Nathaniel, Shelley, you two go out first."

"Yes, Sovereign."

After the two left the main hall, Roy's expression turned grim.

"My Lord Sovereign, what is the meaning of this?"

"Heh heh, isn't this what Lord Roy said when you were fighting with Lord Hulley, the Lightning Sovereign?" Lilia narrowed her eyes. "At that time, didn't the Sovereign say that if you met a Sovereign's clone, you would show respect to the Sovereign?"

"A mere Sovereign's clone is not qualified to be arrogant in front of you."

"This humble one is merely a Water Element Divine Clone of the Death Sovereign. I wouldn't dare to be impolite or presumptuous in front of the Sovereign."
