Chapter 41: The Destruction Overlord Appears (Tuesday Request for Continuation)

The moment the black energy erupted, within a radius of a thousand li, all the god‑level beings watching the spectacle fell from the sky, and a purple mist spread out, exactly the same as the purple mist atop the Nether Mountain.

Shawn instantly felt a tremendous pressure bearing down on him, his whole being gathering Willpower to suppress the external Lord God's might, yet at that same instant the Soul Pearl in his mind suddenly manifested an extremely strong urge to devour, far stronger than the desire he felt when confronting the Divine Artifact before.

Shawn was greatly alarmed and hurriedly suppressed the Soul Pearl's desire; in this situation he dared not cause any trouble.

After finally pushing it down, Shawn let out a sigh of relief and speculated, "Could it be that the Soul Pearl seeks the Lord God's Willpower?"

The previous Divine Artifact, plus this terrifying Willpower, seem to have already provided an answer; yet Shawn is now a "Great Perfection" and also possesses Willpower, so why is the Soul Pearl uninterested?

But now is not the time to ponder this; after confirming the Soul Pearl was fine, Shawn looked back at the sky, and at this moment, under the suppression of the Death Overlord's mighty power, the great faces of the Four Beast Lord Gods gradually took on human forms;

"I have met you, Lord Death Overlord."

Even the proud Four Beast Gods, upon seeing the Four Great Rule Overlords, must bow their noble heads;

This scene gave Shawn a clue: it seemed the Death Overlord possessed a Supreme Artifact, meaning the short gun he carried, if indeed a Supreme Divine Relic, could enable a second mission to destroy the Supreme Deity, perhaps Ouf's material‑defense Supreme Artifact?

"Ha ha, it's so lively here~"

"I have met you, Overlord~"

"Four Beast Gods? How did you end up in the Nether Realm? It's been billions of years since we last met!"

Chaotic voices rang out one by one, and in a short while, ten more energy clones of Lord Gods appeared in the sky—half representing Death Rules, the other half various sects of the Seven Great Laws;

The Four Supreme Realms are more stable than the Divine Realm, and the Divine Realm was later created by the seven‑sect Lord Gods; in other words, many Lord Gods were born in the Supreme Realms, just as the Four Beast Gods have long dwelled in the Hellish Tianji Mountain Range, and many other law‑sect Lord Gods were also born in the Nether Realm, so their return to reside there is quite normal.

Of course, a bigger reason may be that the Four Great Rule Overlords are the strongest, and they have all pledged allegiance to the Death Overlord.

A group of Lord Gods chatted idly; after a while, the Death Overlord said softly, "Alright, everyone can reminisce later; we'll have plenty of time then. Now let's attend to the matter at hand."

"Yes, Overlord." The Nether Realm Lord Gods replied, and then fell silent,

Many Lord Gods watched Shawn with great interest; the birth of a Great Perfection is the most exciting news in the Divine Realm, and the Lord Gods were very intrigued, especially those of the Death attribute, who hoped to have a Great Perfection of the same attribute to spar with, learn from, and seek to break through the Great Perfection, even though the chance of success is almost negligible.

Azure Dragon said, "Overlord, everyone, this matter is merely a minor issue. Shawn seized something belonging to my Azure Dragon clan; I no longer wish to pursue it. Let my people depart, and the matter ends here."

The Death Overlord sneered, "What a joke, Azure Dragon. You claim Shawn stole something from your clan? Yet Shawn says it was because your Azure Dragon clan hunted a person, and that person tried to use Shawn as a shield, only to be killed by Shawn;

Since Shawn killed that person, that person's wealth, treasures, or any other belongings should belong to Shawn, right?"

"What?" Azure Dragon Lord God was stunned, glancing at Shawn;

Shawn naturally nodded in agreement.

In truth, he was also a bit anxious, because the matter involved the possible "Supreme Divine Relic"; but with the Death Overlord pushing everything from behind today, he had no reason to refuse, since it was also well‑meaning;

If the Lord Gods forced him to produce the item, and they recognized it, that would be the end. Moreover, if Ouf later obtained the Supreme Divine Appraisal and learned of this, he would probably have to hand it over.

The advantage, however, is that he could simply claim ignorance of the Supreme Divine Relic; if it were truly identified, he could hand it to the Death Overlord, avoiding a fate like Lin Lei in the original work, who was nearly slain by the Light Overlord.

Nevertheless, he naturally wanted to gamble on such a treasure; even if he did produce it, the Lord Gods might not attack the "Supreme Divine Relic," and thus might not confirm it as such. There are still many wondrous things between heaven and earth, and without the Supreme Divine Appraisal, they might not be able to discern it.

After a moment of hesitation, Azure Dragon said, "You mean my own clan lied to me?"

"Ha ha, Azure Dragon, you can't possibly not be able to control your own clan, can you?" a Dark Lord God laughed, with a hint of mockery.

The other Lord Gods remained silent, yet couldn't help communicating telepathically among themselves.

Azure Dragon's expression turned sour; a Lord God's dignity cannot be insulted—any god‑level being who dares to deceive a Lord God commits a capital offense, and if such a thing occurs, that Lord God would feel his face has been disgraced;

Now, in front of so many Lord Gods, if it truly were his own clan deceiving him, the Four Beast Lord Gods would lose all face.

At that moment, another terrifying power erupted, and a black silhouette manifested, its might not less than the Death Overlord's.

"I have met you, Lord Destruction Overlord." Many Lord Gods immediately bowed and said, and the Four Beast Gods did the same;

The Death Overlord glanced at him and asked, "Why did you appear?"

"This matter is trivial, not worth so many Lord Gods' attention." Destruction Overlord said calmly, "Azure Dragon, bring your clan members over directly. Rest assured, the four of you come together; with me there, you will be safe."

"Understood." After the four Azure Dragons agreed, they all dissolved their energy clones;

Shawn also glanced at Destruction Overlord, bowed and said, "I have met you, Destruction Overlord."

From within Destruction Overlord's black silhouette came a slightly kinder voice: "Shawn? Very good, it has been countless trillions of years, and no Great Perfection has appeared between heaven and earth;

I recall roughly tens of millions of years ago, you once roamed the Sea of Chaos, didn't you?"

"Yes, I once dwelled in Hell for about ten million years." Shawn replied.

Back then, in pursuit of the pinnacle of divinity, I traversed many Supreme Realms and Divine Realms, sparred with various masters, seeking breakthroughs; otherwise, no matter how strong one's talent, one could not reach the state I am in today.

Almost every Great Perfection, as well as Asuras and Seven‑Star Demons, cannot be attained through secluded cultivation alone; only relentless challenges can lead to enlightenment.

"When you have time, come to my Wukun City in the Sea of Chaos," Destruction Overlord said, then fell silent.
