Chapter 103: The Upcoming Ten‑Win Grand Decisive Battle

"Fine." the Dark Sovereign said cheerfully, having already agreed to this earlier;

The Death Sovereign replied, "Alright, I also have 200,000 drops of Lord God's Power; I'll give them to you. Let's first go together to the Dark Divine Plane, and after your business is done, I have something I want to tell you."

That amount of Lord God's Power is a bit excessive; the Lord Gods need to regulate their power, otherwise whether it's a Great Perfection or an Asura, with enough Lord God's Power they often refuse to act on behalf of the Lord Gods, and the Lord Gods cannot force them.

But there's no choice; the Dark Sovereign nearby seems eager to befriend Shawn, the universally acknowledged strongest Great Perfection, and acts generously, so this Death Sovereign naturally cannot be stingy.

"Alright, thank you, Sovereign." Shawn also took the spatial ring containing Lord God's Power.

He doesn't care about Lord God's Power at all; whether or not he is a Lord God, he already has fused divine power and is a Great Perfection, so even without using Lord God's Power he can easily crush peak Asuras who possess it;

However for the Lord Gods, there is nothing else to give besides Lord God's Power, which may become a future problem for him; now he hopes that either Parhaus or Dannington can advance to Great Perfection, and with the current relationship it will be much easier to have them do his bidding later.

The two Sovereigns immediately took Shawn and rushed through a spatial turbulence to the Dark Divine Plane, where Shawn soon saw a newly formed pair of twelve‑winged divine angels, one male and one female.

"How is it? Can you discern anything?" the Dark Sovereign asked.

Shawn shook his head and said, "Nothing special; they seem the same as other twelve‑winged divine angels."

He gave a perfunctory reply to the Lord God, but when Shawn approached the two angels, he immediately felt his soul pearl stir, as if intending to instantly harvest the soul energy within their bodies.

However, in front of the Lord God, he naturally restrained the soul pearl's action.

The Dark Sovereign shook his head and said, "Alas, the things left by the Supreme God truly seem beyond the reach of us ordinary beings."

The Lord God's level of existence is far higher than that of a deity, but before the Supreme God, it is probably no different from an ant.

That is the Lord God's helplessness, but fortunately the Supreme God lacks consciousness; as long as the Lord God does not violate certain cosmic laws, there is no danger to life.

The Death Sovereign laughed, "It's normal that you can't study it; just make good use of it. Ereipus, don't forget our agreement—both the twelve‑winged divine angels you previously had and those from the next ten trillion years must be lent to me."

"Lend divine angels?" Shawn heard without replying, but he had some speculation in his mind;

The combat power of twelve‑winged divine angels is actually far inferior to that of a Great Perfection; according to the original work, the number of twelve‑winged divine angels under the Dark Sovereign is far fewer than those in the Bright Divine Realm;

Why would they need twelve‑winged divine angels but not ask him? Could it be for the most important ten‑win Grand Decisive Battle? Or perhaps the seventh or eighth consecutive win, preparing to strike for the ten‑win?

"Alright, no problem," the Dark Sovereign nodded and said, "However, I will send my divine avatar to the Abia Material Plane to investigate what this plane is actually about."

The Death Sovereign looked at Shawn and said, "Shawn, the Dark Sovereign's divine avatar will go to the Abia Plane; do you have any objections?"

"Naturally, no problem," Shawn could only agree; the Sovereign's request cannot be contested, and he has no reason to oppose.

It's just that a Sovereign's divine avatar went to the Material Plane, so whatever he wants to do freely may not be that smooth, but for now that's the only option.

The Death Sovereign nodded, "Very well, Ereipus, send your divine avatar yourself; the Nether Realm's Lord God army will obey your orders. Shawn, come with me back to the Nether Realm."

If this plane can continuously spawn twelve‑winged divine angels, then by controlling it through Shawn, it would become an immensely valuable treasure;

Cooperating further with the Dark Sovereign to mass‑produce twelve‑winged divine angels would bring countless benefits, potentially reshaping the power balance among the Lord Gods.

"Yes, Sovereign," Shawn nodded.

Immediately, the Death Sovereign again took Shawn back to the Nether Realm's Ghostly Mountain;

After arriving at the palace atop the mountain, the Death Sovereign's first words were, "Shawn, during this period you must be careful—either stay on the Material Plane or stay by my side."

"Is the Sovereign worried that a Lord God might act against me?" Shawn asked, having previously been concerned about this.

The Death Sovereign nodded, "Yes, this Abia Material Plane is too bizarre; we don't know what's going on. If it truly can continuously spawn twelve‑winged divine angels, the impact on the Lord Gods would be enormous;

Moreover, even without a Lord God agreement, this plane would inevitably trigger a war among Lord Gods and Sovereigns, rather than having your Great Perfections decide its ownership."

Since the War of Faith, the Lord Gods and Sovereigns have rarely clashed, except for one Supreme God mission; the only recurring provocations come from the four divine beasts, who often taunt the Water, Fire, and Wind Sovereigns.

This is because there is little profit that can affect them; as long as they don't seek Lord God rank or Supreme God's relics, under the Lord God agreement nothing in the world can spark a Lord God conflict.

But now this plane, based on its current characteristics, holds a value higher than even Supreme God's artifacts.

"Are twelve‑winged divine angels really that important? Why do both Light and Dark Lord Gods care so much?" Shawn asked deliberately, though he was already pondering;

This would also be a crisis for him; the only solution is to quickly retrieve all 13 fragments of soul energy that scattered from his soul pearl, whether by absorbing them himself or converting them into angels;

As long as the Abia Material Plane does not produce twelve‑winged divine angels for a long time, the Lord Gods will cease worrying about him.

Anyway, several soul energies have already been transformed into Light and Dark angels; reclaiming them will likely be difficult, so he'll consider it later— for now it's better to avoid becoming a focal point.

The Death Sovereign laughed, "You don't need to know this; it involves Lord God secrets. The Lord Gods have an agreement, and even their offspring cannot know;

However, I can tell you that victory on the Plane Battlefield is extremely important to the Lord Gods, especially after multiple consecutive wins; in that case, if there are enough fearless angels, the chance of winning is guaranteed."

The ten‑win consecutive victories in Plane Decisive Battles have occurred many times; with Shawn's status as a Great Perfection, investigating would inevitably reveal these matters, such as granting soldiers Lord God's Power, so simply informing him of what can be discovered suffices;

The Willpower Might reward for ten consecutive wins is a top‑secret among the Lord Gods; if a Great Perfection or even a peak Asura learns of the Willpower Might, they may start bargaining, putting the Lord Gods at a disadvantage.

"So that's how it is," Shawn nodded.

The Death Sovereign added, "Let me also tell you: including the previous Plane War you won for the Nether Realm, the Nether Realm has already achieved nine consecutive victories, and the next one is a crucial one."

"The ninth time?" Shawn's expression changed, but his heart was elated;

If the Nether Realm wins once more, he can also obtain a Willpower Might reward; although it doesn't boost strength as much as a Great Perfection, it's still very rare— in the original work, only the Fate lineage received this reward.

If he obtains the Willpower Might reward and then attains Death Rule Great Perfection, his power would be completely unafraid of Augustus; even if he cannot deal with Augustus because of his Supreme Artifact, Augustus also cannot deal with him.

The Death Sovereign naturally didn't know what Shawn was thinking, and then laughed, "I originally planned to tell you later when an opportunity arose; I didn't expect such a strange event to occur between Heaven and Earth.

But the great Death Supreme God is also helping me; your strength can suppress other Great Perfections, and you have successfully secured the Abia Plane. The Dark Sovereign originally refused to lend me Dark divine angels, but now, because of this matter, has agreed;

Thus, with the two passages—one with you and the other with Dark divine angels—I am at ease.

So Shawn, I would like you to win this decisive battle for my Nether Realm in the next Plane War; whatever you desire, I will try my best to fulfill.

"Plane Decisive Battle?" Shawn thought and asked, "What is special about this Plane Decisive Battle?"

The Death Sovereign said, "Yes, I was about to tell you. Because of the Lord God agreement, each soldier in this decisive battle receives two drops of Lord God's Power, which poses a soul risk to you, so you should obtain a soul‑defending divine artifact for safety.

The Nether Realm's next Plane War will be the fourth; there have been three before. If you go and slay ten commanders, acquiring a divine artifact shouldn't be difficult."

"Not necessarily," Shawn shook his head, "Once those commanders learn I'm coming, they'll probably all flee and not even enter;

Moreover, the most important thing is that when I previously clashed with other Great Perfections on the Material Plane, I threatened them on a soul level; I'm worried those people might also go to the Plane Battlefield to win a divine artifact."

It's both laughable and tragic— I recently overpowered other Great Perfections on the Material Plane, and now it's affecting me today.

If many Great Perfections go to the Plane Battlefield and target the commanders, the commanders will likely all flee; they're not stupid— earning badges offers plenty of opportunities, and the strongest divine avatar only has one life;

In the original work, the commanders, knowing the God‑devouring Rat was outside, all hid one by one; some even decided not to come for several future times, whereas Great Perfections have a deterrence far stronger than the God‑devouring Rat.

"I suppose so," the Death Overlord frowned and said;

Even though Xiao En is called the strongest Great Perfection, his strength compared with other Great Perfections is limited; without the soul‑defense Primordial Artifact, under the overwhelming attacks of the Primordial God's power, the plane passage is so cramped that if he cannot dodge in time, danger is possible.

Xiao En asked again, "Overlord, there is another matter. I know the Primordial God's divine avatar possesses willpower; like your avatar, combined with a Primordial Artifact‑grade body, its strength is probably greater than that of an ordinary Great Perfection;

Other Primordial Gods should also have some divine avatars, such as the Dark Overlord; so, in that case, should the Primordial God's avatars be prevented from joining the plane battlefield?"

Ordinary Primordial God's avatars cannot surpass a Great Perfection, but a Super Divine Beast is another matter; a willpower close to Great Perfection plus Arcane akin to Great Perfection, a Primordial Artifact‑grade body, and a special innate divine skill—combined, an ordinary Great Perfection might not be able to defeat it.

Moreover, even a regular Primordial God's avatar possesses a three‑piece Primordial Artifact set; when faced with a Great Perfection it is helpless, and more importantly: its status.

Even when a Great Perfection is encountered, it does not dare to strike ruthlessly.

The Death Overlord shook his head and said, "No, the Primordial God's divine avatar may go to the plane battlefield, and the Primordial God's true form as well; there is no restriction in this regard;

But for the plane decisive battle, the Supreme Deity decrees that Primordial Gods must not interfere; whether it is the Primordial God's direct power or its divine avatar, interference is prohibited, as this is part of the Heaven and Earth Law."

"So that's how it is," Xiao En said, having understood.

The Supreme Deity created the plane battlefield to drain the number of peak divine‑level masters on the divine plane; otherwise, Asuras or those of Seventh Star rank, if they do not kill themselves, are almost impossible to defeat;

Therefore, such a program setting naturally cannot allow a Primordial God to intervene, for a willpower reward would let every Primordial God with an avatar join, which would defeat the very purpose of the plane battlefield.

And if that's the case, I cannot personally join the battle myself.

The Death Overlord said again, "Consider this matter; you need not answer me now. After all, there are still nearly ten trillion years left, plenty of time."

"Yes, Overlord," Xiao En nodded and said.

Now, only a few million years have passed since the last plane war; for the neighboring Great Emperor, unless he severs a blade of his own to become a true being, he cannot live that long;

Yet for Panlong World, it is merely a drop in the river of time; with ten trillion years until the next plane war, there is ample time for me to contemplate how to arrange this matter.

This heavenly opportunity must be seized; if successful, his strength will be slightly greater than that of an ordinary Overlord, and upon reaching Great Perfection, it will be the power of a Great Perfection Overlord.

The Death Overlord continued, "I'll send you to the teleport array; first return to the Abiya material plane, and together with the Dark Overlord's divine avatar, investigate what's happening on this plane, and see if we can sacrifice more Twelve‑winged Divine Angels;

This matter is also crucial; if successful and we have enough Divine Angels, you may not need to enter the field, and even if you do, their presence will greatly increase your safety."

I'm not expecting to actually produce tens of thousands of Twelve‑winged Dark Angels; as long as there are a few thousand, the Underworld's chance of victory rises dramatically.

"Fine." Xiao En agreed;

The most urgent task now is to nullify the Dark Overlord's and Death Overlord's unrestricted production of Twelve‑winged Divine Angels; only then, when other Primordial Gods learn there aren't that many Dark Divine Angels, will they not trouble Xiao En.

Though reluctant to break the Death Overlord's hope, he also knows that, according to the Soul Pearl's vision, there are at most thirteen Divine Angels; five already exist, leaving at most eight more.

I must quickly locate these pure souls and reclaim them when possible; if the Dark Overlord's avatar discovers them, they will be sacrificed into angels, and we can deal with it later.

Moreover, I also want to know what will happen once the Soul Pearl obtains this scattered soul power?
