Chapter 48: The Arrival of the Dark Overlord

At Great Perfection speed, heading to Youming Mountain, half a year is enough.

Soon, Xiao En arrived at Youming Hotel, saw a red‑clad girl fishing, flew nearby, bowed and said, "Have you met the Overlord?"

"You've been quite busy lately," the Death Overlord laughed, "I see you running all over the Nether Realm, apparently looking for some information?"

Xiao En replied immediately, "Overlord, my descendants are still on the material plane; I want to find a suitable spot and bring them to the Nether Realm."

That was the answer he had prepared long ago, and it was reasonable;

Sure enough, as he expected, his actions could not be hidden from the Lord God; after all, when the Lord God's will moves, his divine consciousness can cover the entire divine plane. Previously he was just a Seven‑Star Demon, no Lord God would pay attention, but now that he is at Great Perfection, the Lord God's divine consciousness has noticed him and may keep an eye on him for a while.

It's fine, he is very cautious; all communication is done by the Soul Seed Empress via spiritual transmission or direct memory search. Though the Lord God might know he is transmitting and searching souls, they cannot intercept the conversation.

The Death Overlord glanced at Xiao En, "For such matters, just tell me where you want; I'll send the Lord God's army to help you, even in the Nether Sea, but it's better if it's on my territory—Youming Continent is mine."

"Thank you, Overlord." Xiao En could only agree.

The Death Overlord continued, "My Lord God's avatar is on Youming Mountain; go up, and there happens to be a guest looking for you."

"Guest? Which Lord God?" Xiao En asked.

Anyone the Death Overlord calls a guest must be a Lord God, and likely not an ordinary one;

Of course, other Great Perfections visiting the Death Overlord could be loosely called guests, but a Great Perfection seeking him would never disturb a Lord God.

The Death Overlord replied, "You'll see when you go up. We originally planned to go find you, but we noticed you were heading toward Youming Mountain, so we waited for you."

"Alright, I'll go up the mountain first." Xiao En bowed slightly and left.

On Youming Mountain, Xiao En flew at extreme speed, passing many high‑rank gods struggling painfully for survival in white mist; although he only watched briefly, he found it quite interesting;

At that moment he understood why many Lord Gods like to set up a perilous place and fill it with treasures decent enough for god‑level experts, luring them to die—perhaps to give bored Lord Gods some amusement.

Soon Xiao En reached the summit and ran into Ao De Biao.

"Xiao En?" Ao De Biao exclaimed joyfully, "You're back?"

Xiao En smiled, "Yes, I'll go see the Lord God first, then talk with you later."

Ao De Biao said, "Alright."

After entering the palace, Xiao En found two figures standing in the main hall: one was naturally the Death Overlord, the other unknown, but his divine consciousness received no feedback when scanning, indicating that person must be the Lord God.

"Respectfully bow to the Overlord, respectfully bow to the Lord God." Xiao En bowed and said.

The Death Overlord laughed, "Xiao En, this is the Dark Overlord, who came specifically to find you."

"I have met the Dark Overlord." Xiao En continued, "Overlord, what business do you have with me?"

The Dark Overlord asked, "Xiao En, you are the Great Perfection of the Death Rule; may I ask whether you can create soul‑separation fragments?"

"Soul‑separation fragments?" Xiao En thought for a moment and replied, "Overlord, before reaching Great Perfection I also tried to separate soul fragments; occasionally I succeeded, but the probability was low;

After attaining Great Perfection, theoretically the success rate should be higher, but I have only just become Great Perfection and haven't tried yet."

In the original work, the Death Rule Great Perfection Pill would separate soul fragments, but this is not a skill exclusive to Great Perfection; even a peak Death Rule Asura can try, though the success rate is dreadfully low, it's very labor‑intensive, and the fragments produced are of poor quality;

He had tried before, hoping to help some low‑talent descendants of his clan, but after millions of years of toil he only produced one fragment, and it was a low‑level profound mystery.

The Dark Overlord laughed, "Since you could succeed before, now that you're at Great Perfection you surely can; I'd like you to help me separate a fragment of evil profound mystery—one of my descendants is stuck on the final type of profound mystery."

"Alright, but evil profound mystery belongs to the high‑level profound mysteries of the Dark Law; finding a sanctum that masters this mystery might be a bit hard." Xiao En naturally would not refuse; the difficulty isn't that great;

Perhaps there's also a chance to obtain some information about that ancient dark‑death dual‑branch Lord God who was killed before antiquity.

The Dark Overlord said, "Rest assured, I've already found many such beings; you just need to be responsible for separating their soul fragments."

"Then there's no problem." Xiao En replied.

The Death Overlord also said, "Xiao En, since the Dark Overlord has business with you, go with him to the Dark Divine Plane first; after you finish, come back to find me."

"Yes, Overlord." Xiao En said.

The Dark Overlord turned to the Death Overlord, "Sir, I'll take Xiao En to the Dark Divine Plane first; once the matter is done, I'll send him back."

"Hmm," the Death Overlord nodded with a smile.

Inside the main hall, a space fissure several meters wide suddenly appeared, revealing a terrifying spatial turbulence within.

The Dark Overlord enveloped Xiao En with Lord God's power and said, "Xiao En, traveling through the spatial turbulence to the Dark Divine Plane will be a bit closer."

"As long as the Overlord finds it convenient." Xiao En replied.

In the breathtaking spatial turbulence, Xiao En, shielded by Lord God's power, looked at the outside; within these beautiful sights lay terrifying destructive force, and only a few items could safely remain here;

Being able to fly within the most dangerous spatial turbulence gave Xiao En a strong desire deep in his heart;

Now that there is a chance to obtain Lord God status, he must become a Lord God;

Soon, the two arrived at the Dark Divine Plane;

"This is the Mist Source of the Illusory Night Continent in the Dark Divine Plane," the Dark Overlord explained, "It's also where I reside; when you come to the divine plane for leisure, you can stop by here."

Even for a Great Perfection, the Overlord treats them politely, especially a Great Perfection of the Death Rule who possesses many flashy skills.

"I have been to the Dark Divine Plane before, but it was on Anling Continent," Xiao En replied.

"Haha, that continent is also my territory," the Dark Overlord said as he led Xiao En through a sea of mist;

Xiao En's divine consciousness spread; there were several pools each hundreds of meters in diameter, the Dark Angel Rebirth Pools.
