Chapter 119: Great Perfection Messenger

"Sir, shall I inform this person of your relationship with the master?" a Seven-Star Demon beside Danningdon asked urgently via telepathy.

He was seeded by Shawn's soul seed, follows Danningdon, obeys all of Danningdon's orders, even if Danningdon sends him to die, he will carry it out.

However, without that direct command, he naturally does not want to die.

At present Danningdon is besieged by a Lord God Messenger and several of that messenger's family elites; although Danningdon is powerful, lacking a Lord God Artifact makes this a battle with no chance of victory.

Only by uttering Shawn's name might they be able to intimidate the opponent.

Danningdon replied, "No need; if any danger arises, just say Mr. Shawn's name—then why would I have come out to wander?"

Moreover, whether Mr. Shawn would truly intervene is hard to say, and saying so would also tarnish his reputation.

Even though his relationship with Great Perfection is good, challenges and battles on the divine planes are commonplace; being a friend of the strong does not grant free rein, and Great Perfection has many friends, so one cannot guarantee every friend.

Moreover, he is out there to seek his own opportunity; moving everything backstage, it's better to find a place to hide away.

"But... this is really too dangerous," the Seven-Star Demon said resentfully in his heart, but limited by the soul seed, he could do nothing more.

Danningdon's strength may be immortal, but theirs is uncertain; although they are absolutely loyal, they also do not wish to die if they can avoid it.

Danningdon ignored his subordinates, looked at the hulking man ahead, and laughed, "Carlos, step forward; let me see just how strong the Heavenly Realm Governor truly is."

"Hmph, meet your death." In Carlos's hand, a Fate Attribute long sword Lord God Artifact emitted a pale gold light; his whole body let out a "boom," and the Fate Lord God Power radiated a terrifying aura.

Danningdon's body likewise exuded gray-black Death Lord God Power, and the other Seven-Star Demon elites nearby also wielded Lord God Power.

Carlos's long sword, like lightning, shot toward Danningdon; lacking a Lord God Artifact, Danningdon dared not be careless, his figure flickered as he swiftly evaded the blade while continuously unleashing his strongest soul attack.

"Haha, Danningdon, your soul attack is impressive, but my Fate Rule is not lacking either," Carlos said with a hint of mockery.

In terms of soul attainment, he already knows he is slightly weaker than Danningdon, but regarding souls, as long as the gap isn't huge, the difference between life and death is essentially indistinguishable.

Yet he wields a Lord God Artifact; no matter how long the duel lasts, Danningdon could win countless times, but if even once he is wounded by his own Lord God Artifact, he would instantly face a life-or-death crisis.

Danningdon clearly understood this, focusing all his effort on avoiding the opponent's long sword Lord God Artifact; however, in speed both sides are comparable, the opponent's family has many members, making escape difficult.

"Do we really have to utter Mr. Shawn's name?" Danningdon also knew this might be the only solution.

But whether it works, no one knows; there are so many Great Perfections between heaven and earth—if during a battle the loser claims to know Great Perfection and the opponent stops, then what's the point of fighting?

No one knows whether what you say is true or false, and verification is impossible; most of the time they kill outright, the chance of truly encountering a Great Perfection friend is minuscule, and even if a Great Perfection friend is killed, Great Perfection may not even avenge.

"Meet your death." Carlos roared, and a strange pale gold light formed a bizarre flower bud behind him, a binding force completely locking onto Danningdon.

Danningdon felt the surrounding binding force and, shocked, asked, "Innate Divine Skill? Are you actually a divine beast?"

"Haha, if I weren't a divine beast but an ordinary race, with my profound level how could I be recruited as a Lord God Messenger?" Carlos sneered, "Now you can meet your death."

Carlos said little, and his long sword slashed toward Danningdon's head like lightning; he also knew his Innate Divine Skill had a time limit and could not be wasted.

The long sword tore through the Heavenly Realm's space; within several slender spatial rifts, terrifying multicolored turbulence surged, and Danningdon sensed the greatest threat of his life.

However, the divine beast's exclusive Innate Divine Skill easily bound him, making escape impossible.

"About to lose your life?" Danningdon, unwilling, felt the death threat striking his mind.

Suddenly, a penetrating spiritual sensation flickered in his mind, granting a higher-level understanding of the mysteries of the Death Rule.

"Boom~" A powerful Heaven-Earth Law descended, directly enveloping Danningdon and blasting the approaching Carlos away.

"What is this? Heaven-Earth Law? A weak divine avatar broke through?" Carlos was stunned at first, then sneered, "Even if it breaks through, what's the use? You'll still die soon."

His Innate Divine Skill can be used a second time; a binding-type Innate Divine Skill combined with an offensive Lord God Artifact—between heaven and earth, there are few defenses against a material-protecting Lord God Artifact.

Within the Heaven-Earth Law, Danningdon's soul underwent baptism, and he also felt the willpower might described by Shawn.

As Shawn's friend, he naturally knows that Great Perfection's strength lies in its willpower might.

"Truly terrifying." Danningdon felt his own will; once any attack stacks with willpower might, strength instantly multiplies by hundreds.

Soon, the Heaven-Earth Law faded, and Danningdon stood proudly in the air; seeing him not flee, Carlos laughed, "Danningdon, seems you know you're destined to die?"

While speaking, a pale gold flower illusion appeared again behind him, the binding force locked onto Danningdon, but for Danningdon this binding was merely a joke.

As Carlos approached, Danningdon's eyes emitted a soul attack; the two were already close, Carlos couldn't dodge, and before he could react, his gaze scattered and he fell straight from the sky.

The members of Carlos's family had been ready to watch the spectacle, but witnessed an incredible scene: their clan head, the great Lord God Messenger, was instantly slain.

"Run!" Several Seven-Star Demons, not fools, though uncertain of the situation, knew staying there meant certain death.

However, Danningdon, standing in the middle, calmly said, "Everyone stay."

A strange wave spread, and all Seven-Star Demons who heard the words froze instantly; they didn't know why, but the command made them obey subconsciously.

"Whoosh whoosh~" Dozens of soul attacks struck the hovering Seven-Star Demons, and they immediately fell from the sky.

"Great Perfection's power truly is strong," Danningdon thought with delight.

He also saw three corpses on the other side—Shawn's subordinates, now all dead.

"Looks like Mr. Shawn doesn't know I've already become Great Perfection; I need to go to the Qingyuan Continent Material Plane," Danningdon decided.

He ventured out to break through Great Perfection; now that he succeeded, where he goes no longer matters.

Even though he is now Great Perfection, he remains deeply grateful to Shawn; without Shawn's full guidance, he might never have broken through Great Perfection in his lifetime.

……

Qingyuan Continent Material Plane:

After hearing his subordinate's report, Shawn frowned slightly, "Danningdon being pursued by a Lord God Messenger? Or attacking a Lord God Artifact—this is indeed troublesome."

Even if his Lord God Avatar went to the Heavenly Realm now, it would likely be too late, and the Lord God does not intervene unless forced; it's inconvenient to meddle in god-level conflicts, not to mention he is not yet eager to reveal his identity.

"Everything now rests on Danningdon's fate," Shawn sighed inwardly.

Fate is still mysterious in the Panlong Universe; Great Perfection may also be a person of uncertain destiny, or perhaps not— even Hongmeng doesn't know.

Half a year later, at the edge of the Qingyuan Continent Plane's teleportation array, the corresponding Heavenly Realm array flashed, and a solitary proud black figure appeared within; immediately, a Lord God Power imbued with willpower might covered the entire hell.

On the grass inside Qingyuan City Imperial Palace, Shawn, brewing tea, sensed the willpower might, instantly projected his divine sense, and exclaimed with delight, "Danningdon, you've broken through Great Perfection?"

Danningdon replied from afar, "Yes, Mr. Shawn, between life and death, I have achieved the breakthrough."

"Haha, this truly is a great surprise; come over first, I also have something to ask of you," Shawn said with a light smile.

"Fine." After Danningdon agreed, he swiftly flew over; Great Perfection's speed is extremely fast, and in no time he arrived before Shawn;

It was only when he saw Shawn on the grass that he could not sense Shawn's presence at all—his eyes could see him, but his spirit sense could not detect him. Astonished, he asked, "Mr. Shawn, what is this?"

They are all Great Perfections; Dan Ning Dun also knows that Shawn is called the "Strongest Great Perfection," and he is most likely not his opponent, yet they are supposedly of the same rank, so it is impossible that standing before the other one he cannot sense him—this is a completely different level of existence.

"Hahaha~" Shawn laughed, and immediately a terrifying Lord God aura radiated outward. "Boom," the entire grass field was enveloped by a Lord God force; the massive energy was bound, and the space outside the energy sphere was warped. Those outside who looked this way saw no abnormality at all.

"Lord God? You are a Lord God?" Dan Ning Dun wore a face of disbelief;

If it were someone else, it might not be so strange, but Shawn's ascension to Great Perfection occurred during the climax of the last plane war, and was recorded as a phantom image by countless surrounding god‑level masters; masters of the Divine Plane, to varying degrees, all know or have seen it.

Why is he now a Lord God?

Shawn smiled faintly and said, "Yes, I am a Lord God. The Underworld has been missing a Lord God for a long time; you should know that, and I found that Lord God essence and became a Lord God."

"I've heard that the Underworld's Youluo Domain has no Lord God," Dan Ning Dun nodded.

As a master of the Death Rule, he basically knows that the Underworld's Lord God position is vacant, and some highly connected individuals even know that the vacancy is for the Middle‑rank Lord God.

He then asked, "Lord God, why do you stay in the material plane instead of going to the Underworld?"

"I have my reasons; you need not pry too deeply—knowing too much would not be good for you," Shawn added. "Furthermore, you must not tell anyone that I am a Lord God, at least until I appear on the Divine Plane as a Lord God, which will probably be around the next plane war."

"Fine, no problem," Dan Ning Dun said after a moment's thought. "I swear by the Supreme God of Death that I will strictly keep this secret, telling no one, unless one day the Divine Plane is filled with many others who already know it."

"Alright, I have nothing to compensate you with, so I'll grant you some Lord God power," Shawn said. "But you may also become my Lord God's emissary; I can give you a Lord Artifact."

Taking a Great Perfection as an emissary is something even the Great Perfection Sovereign would not miss.

"Thank you, Lord God. I, Dan Ning Dun, am willing to be your Lord God's emissary," Dan Ning Dun said with a smile.

Other Lord Gods or even Sovereigns might not agree, but Shawn can say his gratitude toward him is great, and the other is also a Great Perfection Lord God, worthy of Great Perfection's admiration—certainly far stronger than those who become Lord Gods by luck and rely on endless faith power yet cannot achieve Great Perfection.

"Hahaha, then what Lord Artifact do you want?" Shawn asked.

Dan Ning Dun thought for a moment and said, "I still want a physical‑attack Lord Artifact. At the Great Perfection level, physical defense and soul defense are basically without risk…"

Before Shawn appeared, Great Perfections had no weakness, so many Great Perfections chose to attack Lord Artifacts, such as Bai'e, Magnus, and so on; after all, adding a defensive Lord Artifact to physical and soul defense is of no use, whereas attacking a Lord Artifact at least adds some offense.

However, now he knows Shawn is a Lord God, and he himself is a master of the Death Rule, adept at souls, so naturally he would not choose a soul‑defense Lord Artifact.

Shawn replied, "I still recommend you take a physical‑defense Lord Artifact, and I will find a way to get you a soul‑defense Lord Artifact. That way, at the god level, no one can threaten you."

"Why is that? Unless you are attacked by multiple Great Perfections, there shouldn't be such danger," Dan Ning Dun asked, puzzled.

Shawn thought for a moment and said, "It's because the next plane war is very special; I hope you can take part, and its special nature lies in…"

Having heard the explanation, Dan Ning Dun understood and said, "Indeed, in such a cramped spatial environment, without a dual‑defense Lord Artifact, even a Great Perfection could fall."

"The secrets of the plane war are Lord God classified; I cannot tell you. In any case, they are extremely important to the Underworld's Lord God," Shawn added.

Dan Ning Dun asked, "I can choose a physical‑defense Lord Artifact, but how do I obtain a soul‑defense Lord Artifact? Must I acquire it in previous plane wars?"
