Chapter 40: Divine Clash Between the Lord Gods【Tuesday Request for Reread】

"Bu Lu, we know about this matter; you go down first," Qing Long said suddenly.

Although Bu Lu is a clan member he trusts, it's better that he remains unaware of matters involving the Lord God and the Great Perfection.

Bu Lu naturally replied, "Yes, Lord God, Bu Lu takes his leave."

Though his heart was anxious, any divine being before the Lord God is like an ant, even his own clan; only the Great Perfection is the pinnacle of divinity and can barely be regarded by the Lord God.

After Bu Lu left, Qing Long looked at his son and asked, "Gai Si Lei Sen, how do you think this matter should be resolved?"

Unlike others, Gai Si Lei Sen is the descendant most favored by the Four Beasts; not only was the Four Beast clan entrusted to him, but they also disclosed all matters among the Lord Gods to him, because Gai Si Lei Sen's mind is more agile than theirs;

Another important reason is that the Four Beasts are preparing to hunt the Water Sovereign and then hand over the Lord God Realm to Gai Si Lei Sen; this would ensure the Four Beast clan's prosperity, so many secrets among the Lord Gods were also revealed to him. Unfortunately, they have never had the chance to act—while their innate divine abilities are strong, they are completely lacking in other aspects.

Gai Si Lei Sen thought for a moment and asked, "Father, do any of you have confidence in defeating the Death Sovereign? I'm not saying we will actually do it, but whether such deterrence exists."

Qing Long shook his head and said, "We can't; although the Death Sovereign is not the Great Perfection, her innate divine abilities are formidable. Our innate abilities can at most wound her, but never kill her;

And if we fail to kill her, we are inevitably doomed thereafter, because she possesses the supreme divine artifact."

"In that case, you and the others must be cautious and not give the Death Sovereign a chance to act," Gai Si Lei Sen added with some worry, "Father, you once said the Death Sovereign has a Water divine avatar."

Qing Long replied, "Yes. After the Lord God Realm descended, the Death Sovereign dismissed the lower-tier Water Lord God Realm, and she was not confident in hunting the Water Upper Rank Lord God, so her target became the mid-level;

However, the two mid-level Water Lord Gods—one has long hidden in the material plane, the other is closely linked to the Fate Sovereign—she never succeeded against them; later, when the Lord Gods made an agreement, she lost any chance thereafter."

The White Tiger Lord God beside him said, "Back then she was too arrogant, so she despised lower-tier Lord God Realms, but now she is no longer picky; therefore, we must still be careful. Should we discuss this matter with the Destruction Sovereign?"

The Vermilion Bird Lord God said, "The relationship between Hell and the Underworld is good; the Destruction Sovereign may not take part in this. Later I'll inform Zi Jing and have her communicate with the Destruction Sovereign."

Qing Long agreed, "Alright, Vermilion Bird, you have a good relationship with Zi Jing; contact her now."

"Fine." After Vermilion Bird agreed, the great hall fell silent for a moment, and Vermilion Bird added, "The Destruction Sovereign replied, saying we should not spark conflict among the Lord Gods just because a few divine beings died."

"If the dispute truly escalates, he will intervene."

Qing Long thought for a moment and said, "Alright, Gai Si Lei Sen, bring that Bu Wei Te over first."

"Yes." Gai Si Lei Sen immediately ordered, and shortly after, Bu Wei Te's divine avatar arrived in the hall and met

the four Lord Gods, immediately kneeling, said, "I pay my respects to the ancestors."

Qing Long asked, "Bu Wei Te, the conflict you mentioned to Gai Si Lei Sen about Shawn—was it because he stole your wealth?"

"Yes!" Bu Wei Te felt a bit startled; he didn't understand how this matter could alarm the Lord Gods.

The Black Tortoise Lord God, emitting earth‑yellow light, asked, "Shawn was previously a peak Asura; how could he care about a bit of wealth?"

Bu Wei Te's face changed dramatically, and he hurriedly explained, "I don't know either; he first killed my friend, then took all my friend's treasures and wealth. I wanted it back, he refused, and that's how the conflict started."

Although he didn't know why the Lord Gods were asking, now that they were involved, admitting he had previously lied would mean certain death; lying to the clan leader and causing the clan great loss is also a capital crime.

Of course, lying to the Lord Gods is a death sentence, but now he can only gamble.

Gai Si Lei Sen also said, "Father, perhaps it's also a matter of the strong's dignity; the divine plane, because of this face

"Since that's the case, we have some justification," Vermilion Bird said, "Shawn struck our Four Beast family first; even the Death Sovereign, however

"Alright, then send an energy avatar over first," Qing Long said after a moment's hesitation.

If only a few clan elders were killed by the Great Perfection, he wouldn't intervene; but those trapped have their own descendants and his valued Bu Lu, known throughout the world, so not stepping in would only disgrace the Lord Gods.

In the Underworld, Shawn folded the floating images in his hand and said, "You may leave."

"Yes." Several Water Upper Rank gods immediately bowed and left; after returning to their positions, they suddenly

until those beside them informed them of what had just happened, causing their faces to change instantly.

At that moment, "Boom—" a massive rumbling sound echoed;

Azure, teal, fiery red, and earth‑yellow Lord God energies gathered in the sky, and within moments formed four gigantic faces.

Many god-level beings watching the spectacle from afar did not dare to approach because of Shawn's intimidation, but upon seeing the Supreme God arrive, they all knelt down, and a few bold ones continued recording the scene;

In the distance, many onlooking divine beings, deterred by Shawn's intimidation, dared not approach; but upon seeing the Lord Gods arrive, they all knelt, while a few bold ones continued recording the floating images;

Fortune favors the bold; today's floating image is estimated to be worth an absurd amount.

Positioned at the center of the four Lord Gods' manifestation, Shawn looked at the four massive faces in the sky and bowed, saying, "Shawn has seen the four Lord Gods."

The teal‑colored massive face stared coldly at Shawn and said, "Shawn, since you are the Great Perfection, why did you act against my Four Beast family?"

"Lord God, it was the Four Beast family that first attacked me," Shawn replied coldly. "Otherwise, why would they appear in the Underworld's Nine‑Nether Realm, with so many Seven‑Star Demon‑rank masters and seven peak Asuras—are they here for tourism?"

Qing Long, the Lord God, was momentarily stumped by the question, but quickly answered, "Even if they were preparing to strike you, it was because you seized something belonging to my Four Beast family, which sparked the conflict, right?"

"I never took anything from the Four Beast family," Shawn retorted, "Did Bu Wei Te tell you that?"

"Not... like this?" Qing Long's massive face showed a slight energy fluctuation.

"Four Divine Beasts, how did you come to my Netherworld and still threaten my envoy?" a light yet immensely majestic voice rang out;

"Four Beasts, why have you come to my Underworld and threatened my envoy?" a light yet authoritative voice rang out;

A black aura suddenly dispersed, easily suppressing the Four Beasts' energy.
