Chapter 129: Plotting to Deal with the Four Divine Beasts

"I don't know what you're talking about!" Xiao En replied coolly.

Now he no longer fears the Four Divine Beasts; their Talent Divine Skill can be blocked by the Water System Sovereign, so he can do the same, but according to information obtained from other Primordial Deities, the Four Divine Beasts can unleash their Combined Talent Divine Skill twice, and no one knows how great the threat of the second strike is.

In ancient times the Four Divine Beasts used a single move to kill a Rule Sovereign, and they have never used a second move consecutively, mainly because it is their ultimate life‑saving technique and they would not use it unless forced.

Therefore he won't gamble; after all, killing the Four Divine Beasts brings him no benefit, and the Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind system Primordial Deity avatars are useless to him. As for studying the Combined Talent Divine Skill using the Four Divine Beasts' essence blood, it is theoretically feasible but still too ethereal for him now.

Water System Sovereign Yi Na Si laughed, "Ha ha, Xiao En, at first I thought some Regulation Sovereign was pulling the strings behind this, but after countless billions of years there has been no sign.

I didn't quite understand it myself, but now that you are a Primordial Deity, I realize only you would do this; otherwise such a coincidence wouldn't exist."

"You said it was a coincidence; without evidence, should I assume you're trying to provoke a Sovereign-level war?" Xiao En retorted.

Yi Na Si shook his head, "Ha ha, not that extreme. Since I can guess, other Primordial Deities might as well, and the Four Divine Beasts too.

So whether it's true or not doesn't matter; I don't need to know. But as long as the Four Divine Beasts think that way, and there have been past conflicts between you, a future clash is very possible.

Although you are a Great Perfection mid-tier Primordial Deity and possess an extra Willpower Might, making you perhaps a bit stronger than ordinary Sovereigns—maybe comparable to me—you can block the Four Divine Beasts' first strike, but the second strike is absolutely unblockable.

So whether it's me or you, even for self‑preservation, we must consider joining forces; otherwise, if the Four Divine Beasts ever scheme against us, it will mean death and dissolution of the Dao.

Xiao En thought for a moment and asked, "Then what do you propose we do?"

He also has an extra Great Perfection‑level Willpower Might, which should block two consecutive strikes, but just like the Four Divine Beasts' ultimate life‑saving move, being hit twice in the soul could still cause serious injury.

As for Soul Pearls, they should theoretically heal, but at the Primordial Deity stage, after a soul injury, he hasn't had a chance to test whether a Soul Pearl can quickly restore his own soul.

If not, he would face other dangers; after all, if he kills the Four Divine Beasts again, the treasure in his hand might even tempt the Rule Sovereign.

Yi Na Si said, "I will find a way to lure the Four Divine Beasts near the material plane where I reside, then strike them. After I hard‑block the Four Divine Beasts' Combined Talent Divine Skill's first strike, I will immediately retreat to my own material plane.

Then you step out and absorb a second strike; theoretically the second strike is weaker than the first, so it won't be a problem for you.

Once the Four Divine Beasts unleash their Talent Divine Skill twice, they become four ordinary low-tier Primordial Deities; trying to control them is far from easy, right?

Xiao En asked, "If both you and I are hit by the Four Divine Beasts' Combined Talent Divine Skill, our souls will be severely damaged—how can we still kill the Four Divine Beasts?"

From Yi Na Si's condition after being struck by the Combined Talent Divine Skill, his power was already extremely weak; if not for the many Primordial Deities present then to deter each other and maintain balance, and the Supreme Divine Oath relic already stored by Yi Na Si in a spatial ring, it's uncertain whether he could have safely withdrawn.

Although being hit once would leave him much better off and able to have enough strength to slay the Four Divine Beasts, this matter remains top secret; the plot to kill the Four Divine Beasts is naturally not disclosed now.

"That's easy to say; we will indeed be seriously injured, but I also have a mid-tier Life Primordial Deity Avatar," Yi Na Si said with a faint smile. "After the Four Divine Beasts use their Talent Divine Skill twice consecutively, their bodies become very weak. Escaping my Life Avatar's pursuit is impossible, since all four were born in hell and cannot enter the material plane.

"Theoretically it's feasible," Xiao En nodded, then asked, "But I need a stronger guarantee; otherwise, if you change sides midway, I won't be able to handle it."

If the Water System Sovereign's Life Primordial Deity Avatar appears, he will be even more tempted.

For him, to increase his strength now, he must either continue merging the Profound Mystery or refine a Life or Light attribute Primordial Deity avatar.

He has been cultivating the Profound Mystery, but now he is already akin to a dual‑system Great Perfection; seeking another step to gain Willpower Might rewards is almost impossible, and he hasn't even grasped the entry point for further merging.

As for Life and Light Primordial Deity avatars, plotting a high‑tier Primordial Deity avatar is almost impossible; even the Light Sovereign he can only claim to be unafraid of, and killing him is unlikely. The Life Sovereign is an even greater challenge, though they were on good terms during the Great Perfection era.

He also despises low‑tier Primordial Deity avatars, and slaying a low‑tier Primordial Deity would violate the Primordial Deity covenant; without sufficient strength, he cannot provoke the rule recognized by all Primordial Deities, so the mid‑tier is the appropriate target.

The optimal path might be to first obtain a mid‑tier Life Primordial Deity avatar; after strengthening, he can scheme for Ao Gu Si Ta's high‑tier Primordial Deity avatar. If possible, he still wishes to become a true "Sovereign," not just a mid‑tier Primordial Deity of Sovereign level.

If he refines two more Primordial Deity avatars, his strength will not be lower than Ao Fu, and may even surpass him slightly.

Regarding the mid‑tier Life Primordial Deity avatars, one is Youming; he naturally cannot act against that old friend. Even ignoring the Death Sovereign, he cannot be certain of killing a Great Perfection Super Divine Beast mid‑tier Primordial Deity—at best he can defeat them.

The other mid‑tier Life Primordial Deity is the Water System Sovereign, but that fellow is extremely cautious, keeping his Life Avatar in his own material plane for years; no one can touch it, and even if he kills the Water System Sovereign's avatar, he still cannot obtain the Life Primordial Deity avatar.

Yet now he plots to kill the Four Divine Beasts; if the Life Avatar appears, that would be his only chance.

"Ha ha, don't worry, I will issue the Supreme Divine Oath, and you must do the same," Yi Na Si said. "First, our target is the Four Divine Beasts; before they are slain, we may not harm each other."

"Agreed," Xiao En nodded. "We can't act beforehand, but after it's fine."

Clearly, Yi Na Si has great confidence in himself.

Yi Na Si continued, "Second, this matter must not be disclosed to any other Primordial Deity, not even those of Divine level, to avoid us spending effort to kill the Four Divine Beasts only for other Primordial Deities to profit, which could even threaten our lives."

"Can you guarantee the Four Divine Beasts won't contact other Primordial Deities?" Xiao En retorted.

Yi Na Si laughed, "They won't. The Four Divine Beasts' goal is my Water-linked high‑tier Primordial Deity avatar; you know that after they unleash the Talent Divine Skill twice they become very weak. Holding a high‑tier Primordial Deity avatar, who would they trust?"

"Of course, when I arrange a battle with them, I will also make them issue the Supreme Divine Oath, without informing other Primordial Deities."

Xiao En curiously asked, "Then they would also demand that you not inform other Primordial Deities, right? How did you tell me this?"

The Four Divine Beasts aren't fools; otherwise they'd have already been wiped out by other Sovereigns.

Yi Na Si laughed, "The Supreme Divine Oath has loopholes. Today I tell you I will duel the Four Divine Beasts, but the timing must be bound by the Supreme Divine Oath they demand, so I can't tell you directly."

However, you can send a Divine Avatar to the plane where my Life‑Rule Primordial Deity Avatar resides; once my Life Avatar leaves its plane and enters a spatial turbulence, your Primordial Avatar, out of curiosity, can also exit your plane to take a look, and that would suffice.

"Smart, it indeed sidesteps the Supreme Divine Oath, but my Divine Avatar won't go. I'll dispatch a Divine‑level expert I cultivated with my Soul Seed; he will promptly inform me of everything." Xiao En, not being a fool, wouldn't let his own Divine Avatar go beside another Primordial Deity.

Yi Na Si nodded, "Fine."

Xiao En asked, "Yi Na Si, are you confident you can summon out the Four Divine Beasts?"

"Of course, I'm absolutely sure; in fact, many times it's the Four Divine Beasts that want to summon me out." Yi Na Si sneered, "Or rather, they want to summon the Wind System Sovereign, Earth System Sovereign, and Fire System Sovereign, but we're not fools, so we ignore them."

Xiao En nodded and asked, "Then why don't the four of you join forces and directly eliminate the Four Divine Beasts, so none of you are threatened?"

"We have considered it, but you've seen the Four Divine Beasts' Combined Talent Divine Skill." Yi Na Si sighed, "That ultimate move is not only a tremendously strong soul attack; its terrifying aspect is the temporal‑spatial binding force."

Even if the four of us combine, we can't evade the temporal‑spatial constraint. I can still hard‑block one soul attack, but the other three cannot; a single hit would kill them. Which of the three would dare risk it?

Xiao En, your soul attainment should be able to block one strike; otherwise, would you dare to join forces with me?

"Indeed, the Four Divine Beasts' Combined Talent Divine Skill is truly terrifying," Xiao En nodded.

In the original work, the Destroyer Sovereign's temporal‑spatial chaos begins with a soul attack plus temporal‑spatial binding, followed by the strongest material attack. Unless one meets a more god‑defying Ao Fu, no Sovereign in the heavens can oppose him; even a Life‑Death Sovereign alliance is unlikely.

The only regret about the Four Divine Beasts is that all four are low‑tier Primordial Deities; aside from the soul attack, they have nothing else. If they added a Sovereign‑level material attack, the four elemental Sovereigns would likely have perished, and the Pan‑Dragon Universe might have become a universe ruled entirely by the Four Divine Beast family.

Yi Na Si continued, "In that case, there should be no problem between us, right?"

"Cooperating to eliminate the Four Divine Beasts is fine," Xiao En added, "but if we succeed, how do we divide their Primordial Deity avatars and divine beast corpses?"

Ordinary divine beast corpses may be considered wealth for those of Divine level, but hold little meaning for Primordial Deities; super divine beasts are different, especially the Four Divine Beasts—they are so unique that they are the most terrifying super divine beasts in the heavens and earth.

Moreover, their Combined Talent Divine Skill is not only related to time and space; it may also involve the fundamental origins of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind, otherwise it wouldn't be so god‑defying.

Yi Na Si laughed, "That's simple: the four Primordial Deity avatars, each of us takes two,..."

"The Four Divine Beasts' essence blood—when the time comes we'll see how many drops we can extract from their corpses; no matter how many, we'll just split them evenly. As for the corpses after that, I want the Azure Dragon and White Tiger's. What do you think?"

"Why do you want a wind-system sovereign godhead? Could it be you still have a wind-system god avatar?" Shawn asked in surprise.

In the god realm, most god-level beings have only one or two god avatars, because a single supreme talent achieving godhood is already a one-in-a-hundred-million chance; another achieving godhood, or even cultivating to a higher god, is comparatively rarer; three-system ones are even fewer, and even in the entire god realm, three-system soul mutations are this rare—aside from the mutation process being extremely dangerous, there are very few who inherently possess three-system god avatars.

As for four-system, it's as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns; in the original work, Tracy saw Lin Lei having four higher god avatars and was also very surprised.

Sovereign gods basically know whether other sovereign gods have a few god avatars or none, after all who knows how many tens of hundreds of millions of years have passed, and he's never heard of Yinas having a third god avatar.

Yinas smiled lightly and said: "This has nothing to do with you; one of my descendants has a wind-system god avatar."

"Fine, I won't ask either." Shawn nodded and said: "I agree with your distribution plan."

He also knew that Yinas was thinking after success, he would swallow everything entirely, and possibly even consider whether he could kill himself; it's unknown where his confidence comes from, could his divine beast talent ability also be very strong?

It seems indeed no sovereign god has seen him display his talent divine ability; it's said that this water-system sovereign has always stayed in his own material plane since the early era of sovereign god chaos, rarely making a move.

Yinas said: "Alright, let's make a supreme god oath; we need to guarantee that before the Four Divine Beasts are slaughtered, we won't attack each other internally; moreover, this matter must not be told to any other living beings."

I, Yinas, swear by the title of Supreme God of Fate.

"Good." After Yinas finished the supreme god oath, Shawn also swore: "I, Shawn, swear by the title of Supreme God of Death."

After both completed, Yinas laughed heartily: "Very good, Shawn, now we can be considered allies; send your people to my Aus material plane; later, when I make an appointment to battle the Four Divine Beasts, I will also swear, but the specific contents cannot be told to you, but the location is definitely in the material plane region; just follow our agreement."

"Okay." Shawn nodded in agreement.
