Chapter 42: The Four Sacred Beasts Who Lost All Face

Hell, Heaven Festival Mountain Range:

When Qinglong's thought shifted, Buweite appeared inside his own grand hall; a bewildered Buweite saw the Qinglong Lord God seated above, and hurriedly knelt and saluted: "Lord God."

"Buweite, I ask you, everything you told me before, is it true?" Qinglong asked coldly.

Buweite trembled inside, but he could not admit his prior lie, so he said: "Everything I said is true. Nasair is my friend; he was killed by Shawn, who stole all his treasures, which sparked this conflict."

At this moment, he had already learned from the divine avatars of other trapped elders that Shawn has reached Great Perfection;

Though he felt desperate, the issue now was not revenge or retrieving the Divine Artifact, but how to survive, since his actions caused his clan to clash with a Great Perfection and even alerted the Lord God;

Even though the Four Sacred Beasts' clan is domineering, the matter isn't entirely wrong; the problem is that he concealed the Divine Artifact, leading the clan to misjudge and arrive at today's predicament.

"Make a Supreme God Oath?" Qinglong said gravely.

"Fine, I'll do it now." Buweite quickly summarized his words, raised his hand and swore: "I, Buweite, swear in the name of the Destruction Supreme God that everything I previously told Gaisileisen Clan Leader and Qinglong Clan Leader about Shawn is true; if any sentence is false, I am willing to have my soul and spirit scattered."

The Supreme God Oath cannot be falsified, but it can conceal; he never mentioned the destruction of the Divine Artifact, so there is no deception;

And Nasair does count as his friend, because they truly were before. Moreover, the term "friend" is so broad that using it in the Supreme God Oath creates a huge loophole.

After hearing this, Qinglong's brows relaxed a bit and said: "Very well, come with me to the Underworld."

"To the Underworld?" Buweite was stunned, but before he could react, a ten‑meter‑wide spatial rift opened in the hall, revealing a terrifying spatial turbulence inside;

Several figures darted in instantly, and the rift sealed rapidly, as if nothing had happened.

Buweite stared at the surrounding spatial turbulence and the Four Sacred Beasts' Lord Gods nearby, his heart racing, yet being able to venture through such turbulence was itself astonishing.

Underworld, Nine Nether Realm.

While awaiting the arrival of the Four Sacred Beasts' Lord Gods, Shawn's divine consciousness spread out, discovering that within a thousand‑li radius the area was entirely shrouded in purple mist; all divine‑level beings within, including some Seven‑Star Demons, had fainted.

This mist was even more potent than the purple mist on Yuming Mountain, forcing Shawn to gasp; the gap between a Great Perfection and the Lord God was like night and day.

But soon he returned to the present issue: how to handle the upcoming situation and how to prevent the "Supreme God Relic" from being demanded for inspection, even if examined it might reveal nothing abnormal.

He thought for a while and found no reliable solution, because by now the matter was entirely under the Death Sovereign's control, or the newly appeared Destruction Sovereign could also intervene; the other Lord Gods were merely spectators, and Shawn, this Great Perfection, though caught in the conflict, was helpless.

"The Four Sacred Beasts have arrived." A voice from the Death Sovereign suddenly echoed in Shawn's mind.

Four silhouettes materialized abruptly; even if Shawn were prepared, he could not discern how they appeared. Even a lower‑rank Lord God is far stronger than a Great Perfection, a completely different tier of being.

"Destruction Sovereign, Death Sovereign." The Four Sacred Beasts first bowed, then Qinglong said: "This is my descendant Buweite, Shawn; what he says differs from yours, and he has also taken the Supreme God Oath."

Buweite at this moment felt the immense pressure around him and the words of the Four Sacred Beasts' Lord Gods; clearly he now recognized who was above the sky, and immediately knelt, saying: "Buweite, honored to meet all the Lord Gods."

Shawn glanced at Buweite, then at the Four Sacred Beasts, and smiled: "Supreme God Oath? It might not be true either, right?"

"Huh? Could the Supreme God Oath be false?" White Tiger Lord God said coldly.

"Of course it cannot be falsified, but many things can be concealed." Shawn, having lived billions of years in the Coiling Dragon Universe, understood the world's loopholes, and said: "The safest method is for me to bewilder the souls a bit and ask directly."

Before the Four Sacred Beasts could answer, Destruction Sovereign suddenly said: "That won't do. You are the first Great Perfection in the heavens and earth to master the Death Rule; during the planar war you easily soul‑seeded a Peak Asura;

You now intend to bewilder Buweite, but we cannot know whether you will deliberately control something, which would be unfair."

"That makes sense." The other Lord Gods discussed among themselves, agreeing that Destruction Sovereign was right;

They also did not know how strong a Great Perfection of the Death Rule is in terms of Soul Seeds; Lord Gods only possess strong willpower might, and their achievements in Mysterious Profundity are far inferior to a Great Perfection's, while Soul Seeds and bewildering rely solely on Mysterious Profundity, unrelated to willpower might.

If Shawn did something in the instant of a Soul Seed, deep within Buweite's soul, even these Lord Gods might not detect it.

At that moment, Death Sovereign suddenly said: "Then I will bewilder, or if you don't believe, we can summon a Death Rule master from Hell."

Seeing Death Sovereign speak thus, the other Lord Gods, including the Four Sacred Beasts, naturally dared not oppose; Destruction Sovereign said: "Very well, then you shall bewilder."

Buweite watched the discussion among the Lord Gods, terrified to the point of losing composure; yet in this situation he could not take charge. From the first day he concealed the Divine Artifact, the events became uncontrollable, and to hide the lie he spun even more falsehoods.

Originally it wasn't an issue; although some of his subordinates could be loopholes, clan leaders generally do not investigate. The problem is Shawn's power keeps growing, causing the Four Sacred Beasts' clan massive losses, which increases the chance of his lies being exposed.

Now, having roused so many Lord Gods, this is beyond anything he could have imagined or controlled.

Death Sovereign glanced at Buweite, his gaze hardening, and a black ray shot out, striking Buweite directly; Buweite's body shivered.

Death Sovereign asked: "Buweite, regarding the conflict with Shawn, have you concealed anything from the Four Sacred Beasts?"

"Yes." Buweite said with a dull stare.

"What?" Several Lord Gods were surprised, looking at the Four Sacred Beasts with strange eyes.

Qinglong and the others also wore grim faces, being accused of deception by their own clan before so many Lord Gods.
