The Road Ahead and the Shortest-Lived Sovereign

Hearing the Death Sovereign's words, Roy was startled.

He then realized that this Water Element Divine Clone of the Death Sovereign was actually a High-level God?

"You haven't refined that Water Element Lord Godhead?"

"The Water Element Lord Godhead you're talking about, is it this one?"

Lilia extended her left hand. A semi-transparent crystal diamond, emitting a blue halo, floated in her palm, radiating a powerful pressure.

The Death Sovereign, had actually not refined this High-level Lord Godhead?

"What do you want to say?"

"Heh heh..."

"I can give you this Lord Godhead, what can you offer in return?"

"Hmm?"

Roy frowned.

What did the Death Sovereign mean by this?

If she refined this High-level Lord Godhead, the Death Sovereign's Water Element Divine Clone would become the strongest Law Sovereign not belonging to Augusta.

Even the Death Sovereign herself would gain 0.8 portions of Willpower, reaching the same level as Destiny Sovereign Off.

Did she really not want it?

Or was she playing with him?

Thinking of this, Roy shook his head, "Sorry, Lord Sovereign, I cannot afford the price."

Indeed, Roy did not have a Water Element Divine Clone. Obtaining this Lord Godhead would at most add an ordinary Water Element Sovereign to the Four Divine Beast Family.

In subsequent battles, having an extra Sovereign would indeed provide an advantage, but to the truly high-level combatants, Law Sovereigns were merely cannon fodder.

"If there's nothing else, you should return to the Netherworld."

"It's fine, I'm not in a hurry."

"I find your place quite nice, so I'll stay here for a while. When you can afford the price, just call me directly."

"Of course, this is as long as I don't want to become a Water Element Sovereign yet."

After speaking, Lilia walked out of Roy's Lord God Palace and went to find Shelley to arrange things for her.

"Here, I want to build a lake."

"Here, I want to build a floating bridge, from there to here."

"In the center of the lake, I want to build a pavilion..."

For a time, Lilia pointed and spoke while gesturing on the projection, and Shelley adjusted the layout of the floating island according to Lilia's requests.

Finally, this floating island was transformed under the design of Lilia and Shelley.

It was adorned with many flowers and plants, lakes, ponds, waterside courtyards, and rainbow bridges, etc.

"Very good, I am very satisfied."

...

Roy paid no attention to what the Death Sovereign's Water Element Divine Clone was doing.

Roy feared the Death Sovereign, but he did not fear her Water Element Divine Clone.

Just as he had told Hulley, "You are a Sovereign, I respect your strength.

But her Water Element Divine Clone is an existence that can be killed with a single slap, there's nothing to fear."

Of course, as long as Lilia didn't go too far, Roy wouldn't slap her to death for no reason.

After all, not to mention the Death Sovereign's main body, even her Water Element Divine Clone possessed a Lord Godhead.

If she wasn't killed with a single slap, Lilia could always take out her Lord Godhead and become a new Water Element Sovereign.

Roy's divine sense extracted three drops of Sovereign Power—one red, one blue, and one green—from his spatial ring and absorbed them into his body.

Roy had formed his Soul Golden Core, and with his God Body at the level of a Lord God Artifact, his strength could reach 7.6 portions of Willpower, still a step away from the 8 portions of Willpower required for a Law Sovereign.

After thousands of years of seclusion, his soul power had not even doubled. This was unacceptable for Roy, who wanted to rapidly increase his strength.

Therefore, Roy began to seek an alternative path.

Based on Roy's understanding of the Coiling Dragon Universe, he knew that this universe, also known as the Magic Universe, was one of the four subsidiary universes opened by Hong Meng to stabilize the main universe.

Hong Meng had used the power of Hong Meng to derive the four elements—earth, wind, water, and fire—as the creative force to open this universe. After its creation, the powers of light and darkness, and finally the power of judgment lightning, were born.

Currently, he was experimenting with how to fuse the divine powers of the earth, wind, water, and fire elements.

Of course, he was not a mutated soul of the four elements who had refined the four elemental Lord Godheads, allowing him to easily fuse the four Sovereign Powers into "Hong Meng Power."

He was merely absorbing these four elemental Sovereign Powers into his body and using his powerful soul force to control the fusion of the four elemental Sovereign Powers.

Naturally, Hong Meng Power could even dissolve Heavenly Lords of the main universe.

Therefore, Roy did not dare to experiment with the fusion of Sovereign Powers directly within his own body. If the experiment failed, it would be fine, but if by some chance it succeeded, he would have brought about his own destruction.

Four drops of Sovereign Power atomized within Roy's body. Roy opened his right hand, and white light spread from his palm to the size of a basketball.

This time, Roy only needed to create a planar barrier and a space within the universe that was sufficiently stable for the fusion experiment of Sovereign Power. It didn't need to be very large.

From the atomized four-element Sovereign Power within his body, he drew out a wisp from each element. Then, Roy channeled these wisps of Sovereign Power into the small universe in his palm, using his soul power to control the fusion of these four elements.

Within the semi-transparent universe, four types of mist—red, blue, yellow, and cyan—filled the space. These four mists would sometimes cancel each other out, sometimes intertwine, and sometimes remain distinct...

The transformations of these four types of Sovereign Power caused the divine kingdom to be frequently filled with raging hurricanes, standing glaciers, skies ablaze with fire, and sweeping sandstorms...

Soon, these four wisps of Sovereign Power dissipated within the divine kingdom. Roy had not succeeded in fusing them.

Roy had been mentally prepared for this.

If fusion were that easy for him, there would not be only one Linley appearing in over a thousand Yanjis for a four-element soul mutation.

Continuing the experiment...

When Lilia stepped into the grand hall, the first thing she saw was the divine kingdom in Roy's hand, filled with four colors.

With a wave of her hand, Lilia had Shelley and Nathaniel withdraw from the castle. Then, she stood behind Roy, watching his actions with great interest.

After the Sovereign Power in the divine kingdom completely dissipated, Roy dispelled the divine kingdom in his hand and looked at Lilia.

The fusion of the four-element Sovereign Power was the most crucial foundation for Roy to take that next step.

He couldn't experiment in front of the Death Sovereign.

"What are you looking at?"

"I'm watching an interesting person, of course."

Lilia looked at Roy and said softly, "Star Sovereign, you haven't refined the Lord Godhead, have you?"

"Hm?"

Roy was startled for a moment, then laughed. "How could that be? As everyone knows, I obtained an Earth Lord Godhead in the Muba Plane, and it was with this Lord Godhead that I became a Lord God, saving the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods from Augusta, the Light Sovereign, and the Water Sovereign."

"Sovereign, don't you remember, the Lord Godhead in your hand was our spoils of war from that battle."

"Is that so?"

Lilia sneered but didn't press the issue. Instead, she asked Roy a completely unrelated question.

"Do you know if there's any more intimate relationship between Destiny Sovereign Off and Augusta, the Light Sovereign?"

The smile on Roy's face flickered.

"Sovereign, why would you ask that question?"

"Looking at your expression, did I guess correctly?"

Lilia walked down the platform with her hands behind her back. "Of course, it's because I saw Off deliberately push this Lord Godhead into the spatial turbulence. Otherwise, how do you think I obtained this Lord Godhead?"

"Oh, right, Star Sovereign."

As she reached the main entrance of the palace, Lilia turned back. The smile on the girl's face sent a chill down Roy's spine.

"After refining a Lord Godhead and becoming a Lord God, within one's divine body, you can only store Sovereign Power of your own element and cannot use Sovereign Power of other elements. This is different from how Gods are, you know."

"..."

"I was too hasty!"

With his greatest secret seen through by the Death Sovereign, Roy felt a surge of killing intent.

But then, remembering the Death Sovereign's terrifying strength and the Lord Godhead in Lilia's hand, Roy abandoned this dangerous thought.

"I hope the Death Sovereign won't spread this secret."

"Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to refine the Lord Godhead in my hand!"

Roy thought to himself, rubbing the spatial ring on his finger.

Currently, the four elemental Law Sovereigns possessed at least 10.2 units of Willpower strength, and Destiny Sovereign Off possessed 11 units of Willpower strength.

Roy, on the other hand, had 7.6 units of Willpower strength. Refining the Lord Godhead he held would at least provide a fourfold increase in Willpower for a lower-level Lord Godhead, bringing his strength to 11.6 units of Willpower, directly surpassing the four Law Sovereigns who had not yet completed their Supreme God missions to obtain Supreme Treasures.

If the Earth Lord Godhead Roy held was a mid-level Lord Godhead, he would receive a boost of 6 units of Willpower, bringing his strength to a terrifying 13.6 units of Willpower, comparable to Destruction Sovereign Utred when he created "Time-Space Distortion."

However, that was a last resort when there was no other path.

After hearing the drawback of refining a Lord Godhead from the Death Sovereign, Roy became even more reluctant to refine it.

It was just that in his future cultivation, he had to establish a rule: no one was allowed to enter without his permission!

...

"As I suspected, it wasn't my illusion."

In the Netherworld, the Death Sovereign's index finger wound around a strand of her hair.

When Roy reached Paragon, the Death Sovereign had sensed Roy's divine sense from the Netherworld Heart. His divine sense was less than a hundred times weaker than that of a Lord God.

At that time, the Death Sovereign had become interested in Roy.

Observing Roy was more interesting to the Death Sovereign than observing those Gods.

As expected, shortly after going to the Infernal Realm, she discovered such a big secret of Roy's.

Truly, this is too interesting…

…

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

In a certain material plane, countless High-level Gods were engaged in a fierce battle.

The sky cracked, the earth inverted, and the sea surged everywhere, crushing mountains and breaking cliffs.

Under the shockwaves of their battle, the ordinary people of this plane suffered terrible, undeserved calamities. Disasters and misfortunes swept through, and every day, tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, died from the battle's aftermath.

They feared, they raged, they hated…

But without power, they could do nothing.

Because these High-level Gods had gone mad!

"Quick, quick, I saw him grab the Lord Godhead!"

As soon as someone killed their opponent and seized the spatial ring from their hand, they were immediately killed by someone behind them, who then took the spatial ring.

For a time, the sky was torn apart by the battles of these High-level Gods. Those with insufficient strength were torn apart by spatial rifts just by getting close.

As the fighting continued, everyone couldn't remember who exactly had obtained the Lord Godhead.

All they could do was kill their current opponents, seize their spatial rings, then drip blood to recognize ownership, and check if the spatial rings contained the Lord Godhead.

"Hahahaha, I got it, the Lord Godhead is mine!"

A Seven-star Demon, after finally killing its opponent, found the crystal emitting a cyan glow within the opponent's numerous spatial rings.

This was a Wind Element Lord Godhead.

Overjoyed, the Seven-star Demon couldn't help but laugh wildly.

By the time he realized it, he was already surrounded.

Several Seven-star Demons of similar strength abandoned their opponents and swarmed towards him.

The man's expression changed, and he quickly fled towards the planar teleportation array of this plane.

As long as he returned to the God Plane through the planar teleportation array, he would become a high and mighty Lord God!

At that time, none of these pursuers would escape!

However, he still underestimated the temptation of the Lord Godhead for the Gods.

As the people behind him shouted, "The person in front wearing blue armor who is fleeing has the Lord Godhead," countless High-level Gods charged towards him one after another, hoping to seize that slim chance.

Although the strength of these High-level Gods was not great, their numbers were sufficient.

Soon, the Seven-star Demon was caught up by the people behind him.

After a struggle, the Seven-star Demon was severely wounded.

Seeing that escape was hopeless, a trace of madness flashed in the Seven-star Demon's eyes.

"Since you don't want me to live, then let's all die together!"

With that, a Wind Element High-level God Clone flew out from the Seven-star Demon's body, and he took out the Wind Element Lord Godhead from his spatial ring.

"No!"

Upon seeing the man's actions, all the Gods knew what the man who had seized the Lord Godhead intended to do.

Some accelerated their attacks, wanting to kill his two Divine Clones before the man completed the blood recognition ritual.

Others seemed terrified and fled in all directions frantically.

However, with the obstruction of the Seven-star Demon's Divine Clone, these people were still unable to intercept him.

A drop of bright red blood dripped onto the Lord Godhead emitting a cyan glow.

"Boom!"

A massive power emanated from the man's Wind Element Divine Clone, and then this material plane began to collapse under this immense pressure.

"Hahaha, let's all die together!"

Amidst the man's vengeful laughter, the material plane shattered like a bubble.

Everything within the material plane was annihilated by spatial turbulence.

"Hahahaha, haha…"

In the spatial turbulence, only the man's laughter remained.

A few seconds later, the man lowered his head and lost his life's aura.

The spatial turbulence swept away, destroying the man's body and sending the Lord Godhead to an unknown destination…

The Gabi Plane became completely famous among the Gods.

Of course, the Gabi Plane became famous not because any great figure was born there, but because the Gabi Plane was destroyed.

News of that battle was eventually revealed by a God who was near the teleportation array and was lucky enough to be teleported to the God Plane before the plane's destruction.

The competition for the Lord Godhead, as well as the subsequent blood recognition ritual by the High-level God who obtained it, attracted a large audience.

Everyone jokingly called the Lord God born in the Gabi Plane the shortest-lived Lord God in history!
