Plane War

Roy dispersed the divine kingdom in his palm, his expression shifting slightly.

He could sense Shelley approaching him.

Had something else happened?

Otherwise, Shelley wouldn't usually disturb him while he was cultivating.

"Lord Roy, have you finished your cultivation?"

"Mhm, go wait for me in the main hall."

"Yes, Lord Roy."

Sensing Shelley had arrived at the main hall, Roy then elementalized and appeared on his divine throne.

"Is something the matter, Shelley?"

"Mhm."

Shelley nodded.

Over the years, she had grown accustomed to the Sovereign's appearances and disappearances.

"The Sovereign of Netherworld Mountain asked me to relay a message to you. In another ten thousand years, there will be a new round of Plane Wars. They asked me to inquire when we will be heading to the Netherworld for this Plane War, Lord Roy."

"Plane War?"

Upon hearing Shelley's words, Roy finally realized that another hundred million years had passed.

Plane Wars were conflicts that occurred every trillion years among soldiers under the eleven elemental Sovereigns.

During a Plane War, there were only two identities: 'Commander' and 'Soldier'.

A 'Commander' could unconditionally command a 'Soldier'; soldiers had no right to refuse, and if they were killed by a commander, no one would intervene.

Plane Wars were a way for gods to acquire Lord God Artifacts and Sovereign Power, aside from becoming a Sovereign's Emissary.

Everyone who entered a Plane War battlefield would receive an identity badge: Commanders received Commander Badges, which were either red or gold, and Soldiers received Soldier Badges, which were either black or white.

Soldiers from the Sovereign Legions of various divine systems would engage in mutual combat, with the galaxies of the Plane War battlefield serving as the boundary.

For the Sovereigns, to achieve victory, their own soldiers needed to fight their way across to the other side of the two galaxies, successfully defeating the enemy on the opposite side or defending until the end of the battlefield's duration without retreating back to their own galaxy.

As for the gods themselves, they simply needed to ensure their own survival and obtain enough badges.

Ten Commander Badges could be exchanged with a Sovereign for a Lord God Artifact.

A hundred Soldier Badges could be exchanged with a Sovereign for a drop of Sovereign Power.

In the last hundred million years, Roy had not yet become a Sovereign.

By the time Roy became a Sovereign, the Plane War had already concluded.

In this trillion-year cycle, Roy had established a Sovereign Legion, and it was natural for him to participate in the Plane War.

"Shelley, please ask about the victory and defeat records of past Plane Wars, and also, which divine planes will be confronting each other in this upcoming Plane War."

"Mhm."

Shelley lowered her head, and her Wind Element Divine Clone in Netherworld Mountain began to inquire with the Death Sovereign.

...

"Oh? The victory and defeat records of past Plane Wars?"

The Death Sovereign reclined on her divine throne, propping her chin with one hand and letting one foot dangle casually over the armrest, appearing quite relaxed.

When she heard Shelley's question on Roy's behalf, the Death Sovereign was momentarily taken aback.

In the over eighty trillion years since she had become a Sovereign, she had participated in over eight thousand Plane Wars.

In the Death Sovereign's opinion, Plane Wars were simply a channel for gods to make requests to Sovereigns.

However, Roy's question did spark a bit of doubt in her.

Could it be that Plane Wars held other secrets that she was unaware of?

But if she, the first life born from the Netherworld and the first life born in the boundless planes since the dawn of creation, didn't know, how could this brat Roy, who had only been active for less than two trillion years, possibly know?

Although she hadn't made a deliberate effort to remember, with her mastery over souls, she quickly recalled the memories related to the Plane Wars.

"Mhm, the Destruction Sovereign has the most victories, with one thousand three hundred and twenty-three wins."

"Following that, the Death Sovereigns achieved one thousand one hundred and seventy-three victories."

"The Destiny Sovereign has won one thousand and eighty-one times."

"The Light Sovereign achieved eight hundred and sixty-four victories."

"The Lightning Sovereign won eight hundred and twenty times."

"The Darkness Sovereign secured seven hundred and sixty-two victories."

"The Water Sovereign had six hundred and ninety-seven wins."

"The Earth Master won six hundred and seventy-two times."

"The Wind Sovereign achieved six hundred and fifty-seven victories."

"Fire Lord God, 584 consecutive victories."

As the Death Sovereign spoke, Shelley, on the Infernal Realm's side, repeated it.

Roy felt a bit speechless after hearing this.

What's with the Death Sovereign? Why does he seem so slow?

Is this what I wanted to ask?

"Shelley, ask her. What I want to know is the number of consecutive victories for each God system so far."

"Consecutive victories?"

The Death Sovereign furrowed his brow.

"So far, the most consecutive victories belong to the Destiny Lord God's lineage, with seven wins."

"The remaining ones are the Death lineage, with six wins."

"The Destruction lineage has three consecutive wins."

"The Light lineage has three wins."

"The Dark lineage has one win."

"The others all lost in the last Plane War, not having a single win."

"Seven wins?"

Roy was a little surprised to hear that the Destiny Lord God's lineage had actually won seven consecutive matches.

No wonder Off eventually received the Willpower reward of a ten-year winning streak; it turned out the previous Destiny Lord God had laid such a solid foundation for him.

In the last Plane War, since most of the powerful individuals had entered the Material Plane to search for Lord Godheads, and the other Lord Gods' Sovereign Legions were also in the Material Plane harvesting faith for them, they had only sent a few people to casually deal with it.

This time, it was likely to be the same.

"Shelley, ask her which God systems are confronting each other in this Plane War."

"The Lord God said that this time, it's the Death lineage against the Lightning lineage, the Earth lineage against the Light lineage, the Fire lineage against the Destiny lineage, the Wind lineage against the Dark lineage, and the Water lineage against the Destruction lineage."

"Fire lineage?"

Upon hearing the matchups, Roy nodded slightly.

On the Fire lineage's side, they had the Vermilion Bird Legion. If that was the case, they could concentrate their forces on the Vermilion Bird Legion and have them intercept the Destiny lineage, preventing Off from achieving his ten-win streak this time.

For Roy, it was best for the Lord Gods to maintain the current situation, allowing him to develop steadily and quietly.

Of course, if conditions permitted, he would have to hinder the development of the Destiny and Light lineages.

"Tell her that I'm participating in this Plane War."

"However, my focus isn't on the Earth lineage, but on the Fire lineage."

After giving the Death Sovereign a slight hint, Roy waved his hand, ceasing his conversation with the Death Sovereign through Shelley.

"Shelley, go tell Nathaniel to call Gaia over. I have something to instruct."

"Also, have your Wind Element Divine Clone in the Netherworld go to Lotus Rock Island in the Nine Nether Region. Tell Garfield, the lord of Lotus Rock Island, that I need him to lead Edgar and Marshall, two Seven-star Demons, to join the Fire Lord God's side to fight against the Destiny Lord God's side in this Plane War, and to make preparations in advance."

"I will accept him as a Sovereign's Emissary then. Also, ask him what kind of Lord God Artifact he needs, so I can prepare it for him."

Garfield was a subordinate Roy defeated when vying for leadership in the Netherworld. He was a powerful Asura of the Water element.

Before being sucked into a spatial rift after losing to Roy, he had begged Roy for help. After Roy pulled him out of the spatial rift, Garfield signed a servant contract with Roy and became Roy's contracted Divine Beast.

After Roy was taken away from the Death Sovereign by the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods from the spatial turbulence, he had Shelley instruct Garfield to retake the position of island lord of Lotus Rock Island.

Currently, Lotus Rock Island was still the largest gathering place for the Four Divine Beast Family in the Netherworld.

As for the brothers Edgar and Marshall, they were two Seven-star Demons under Garfield's command, and their strength was quite decent.

This time, Roy planned to put them to use!

"As you command, Lord Roy."

After Shelley withdrew, Roy lightly tapped his hand on the divine throne, and then his divine body dissipated into elemental energy.

...

When Roy's figure appeared in the divine palace of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods, all the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods sensed it and immediately returned to the main hall.

"Haha, Fifth Brother, you haven't been here in a long time. You must have a few drinks today!"

Nimo Lord God grabbed Roy's hand and transmitted his divine sense, instructing the people in the divine palace to prepare a grand feast and fine wine.

"Exactly, exactly. Fifth Brother, at our current level, our strength has reached its peak. If we don't enjoy ourselves, how can we pass the time?"

Us Lord God also nodded in agreement.

"Haa..."

Bowen Lord God yawned, "I think instead of enjoying myself, it's more comfortable to find a place to sleep."

"Go, go, go. All of you, don't corrupt Fifth Brother."

Leding Lord God waved his hand, interrupting the bad intentions of his three brothers, "Fifth Brother is different from us. He became Paragon at just a million years old and came up with a method to refine Lord God Artifacts that can unleash innate divine abilities."

"Our strength has reached its limit, our own limit, but not Fifth Brother's limit."

"Fifth Brother, don't listen to their nonsense. Work hard to improve yourself. Big Brother still wants to wait for you to lead us brothers to take down that Destiny Sovereign fellow."

"When the time comes, you can fight the Destiny Sovereign, and we brothers can fight that brat, the Light Sovereign, and get revenge for how they bullied us before."

As Leding Lord God said this, the other three Lord Gods also came to their senses.

That's right, they still had a great vendetta to avenge.

Their limit might just be at the level of a Law Sovereign.

After all, after watching the battle between Destruction Sovereign Utred and Destiny Sovereign Off, the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods had no further ambitions regarding Rule Sovereigns.

However, they still had Fifth Brother!

"Right, right, right, Fifth Brother, everything the three of you said before was nonsense. If you want to research something, just tell us brothers, and we'll do our best to help you."

"Haha, then I won't be polite."

Roy didn't hesitate to accept the support of the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods. He directly obtained over two hundred drops of divine beast essence blood from each of them, as well as several large jars of Sovereign Power.

As the chefs brought out plate after plate of delicious dishes to the table, the five brothers indulged freely, feasting heartily, and having a wonderful time.

Gods always say that Lord Gods are aloof and supreme.

But in reality, weren't all Lord Gods once High-level Gods before they refined their Lord Godheads?

It's just that the power difference between Lord Gods and Gods is too immense. It's so vast that a Lord God could accidentally kill a God by their side.

Under such a disparity, it's difficult for Lord Gods to view Gods as beings equal to themselves.

This is what created the impression among Gods that Lord Gods are lofty and supreme.

Among Lord Gods, everyone is no different from Gods.

They still get angry, furious, and use schemes and tricks…

After eating their fill, Roy and the others began to discuss serious matters.

"Fifth Brother, are you looking for us brothers for something this time?"

"Mm."

Roy nodded. "Big Brother, the Plane War is about to begin in ten thousand years."

"Oh? Oh, oh, oh…"

Upon hearing Roy's words, the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods remembered that the Plane War, held once every hundred million years, was approaching.

"Fifth Brother, only Gods participate in the Plane War. Why should we care about this?"

Leding Lord God asked, confused.

For the longest time, the four brothers had not paid much attention to the Plane War.

No, it wasn't just the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods.

It could be said that all Lord Gods did not pay enough attention to the Plane War.

In the eyes of all Lord Gods, the so-called Plane War was merely a channel for these Gods to obtain Lord God Artifacts and Sovereign Power from them.

For each Plane War, they only needed to prepare one or two Lord God Artifacts and a few hundred drops of Sovereign Power, and wait for their people to come and exchange for them with badges after the war.

Sometimes, it would even take several Plane Wars before they could give out one Lord God Artifact.

"No, my four elder brothers, in my opinion, the Plane War should hold a greater secret."

Roy shook his head, not elaborating further to the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods.

For this Plane War, I received news from the Death Sovereign. It's the Death faction versus the Lightning faction, Earth faction versus the Light faction, Fire faction versus the Destiny faction, Wind faction versus the Dark faction, and Water faction versus the Destruction faction.

The Destiny faction has already achieved seven consecutive victories in the Plane Battlefield. I don't know what changes will occur when the consecutive victory count reaches ten.

"However, I have a premonition that it will be a change that we will regret immensely."

"Therefore, we cannot allow other Lord Gods to achieve ten consecutive victories in the Plane Battlefield."

Especially, we cannot allow the Lords of the Destiny and Light systems to achieve ten consecutive victories in the Plane Battlefield!

"Whoever is closest to ten consecutive victories, we will target them."

"This time, we will target the Lord Gods of the Destiny faction and make their winning streak count zero!"

The Four Divine Beast Lord Gods didn't understand half of what Roy said.

The only thing they understood was that Roy was planning to target the Lord Gods of the Destiny and Light systems, preventing the Lord Gods of these two divine systems from achieving ten consecutive victories in the Plane Battlefield.

This was precisely to their liking.

What could make them happier than seeing the Light Sovereign and the Destiny Sovereign suffer setbacks?

"Good!"

"Fifth Brother, we'll go with you!"

"Tell us, what do you need us to do."

"Exactly, exactly, Fifth Brother, your brain is the best. We four brothers will listen to you."
