Chapter 49: Dark Angel Rebirth Pool

The Dark Overlord noticed Xiao En watching his Angel Rebirth Pool and asked, "Xiao En, what's wrong?"

"Nothing much," Xiao En replied. "I'm more interested in the angels of the Light and Dark Divine Planes."

The Dark Overlord asked curiously, "Why?"

Xiao En answered, "Master, you know, my Death Rule is the only mysterious principle among the Four Great Rules and Seven Great Laws that can soul‑seed and bewilder other god‑level beings; my cultivation path leans toward the study of soul‑seeding and bewildering;"

"And I also know that the angels of the Dark and Light Divine Planes are absolutely loyal to the Lord God, more loyal than soul‑seeds, and they do not cause soul pressure, so I'm very curious how this is achieved."

Seeing multiple angels and the Rebirth Pool instantly reminded him of the second scene he had seen inside the Soul Bead, that twelve‑winged Dark Divine Angel;

Its appearance in the Soul Bead indicates that this angel is very important to that Lord God; if he can be found, perhaps the Material Plane can be located, provided the angel is still alive;

According to the original text, once the Lord God dies, that angel becomes free, and where it goes is completely unknown.

"Ha ha, that question has actually been studied by Death‑aligned Lord Gods before," the Dark Overlord laughed. "But none succeeded; no one can understand how the Angel Rebirth Pool achieves this;"

"However, if you're interested, you can also study it, and I can tell you some secrets of the Angel Rebirth Pool."

"Please enlighten me, Overlord," Xiao En said.

The Dark Overlord first asked, "Xiao En, the Divine Planes of this Law System are created by each system's Lord God, you know that, right?"

"I know," Xiao En nodded.

This matter is no secret to Peak Asuras, because some Asuras are survivors from the earliest ages and even participated in the contest for the Lord God title back then, so many secrets naturally passed down.

Additionally, some descendants of Lord Gods also know certain Lord God secrets, and unless they involve extremely important matters, they might be leaked to others.

The Dark Overlord said, "The Angel Rebirth Pool is a treasure that naturally emerged after the Light and Dark Divine Planes were created; it is indestructible, and its property is like that plane's teleportation array;"

"Even our Lord God can only instinctively forge a contract with it, then know how to seek pure souls from the Material Plane and thus transform them into angels."

"So, does that mean the Angel Rebirth Pool is a treasure bestowed by the Supreme God?" Xiao En retorted.

The Dark Overlord replied, "I don't know whether the Supreme God gave it intentionally, but it is definitely a treasure of Supreme God level;"

"For example, souls in the Material Plane can directly pass through the Angel Rebirth Pool's magical array and be drawn into the pool; even a Lord God cannot achieve this—only the power of a Supreme God, or the Heaven‑and‑Earth Laws, could."

"That does sound a bit like, after death, souls below god level entering the underworld," Xiao En said after a moment of thought.

The Dark Overlord laughed, "Yes, these deeds of the Supreme Gods—many Grand Perfections like yourself—have even tried to study them, but all attempts yielded no results;"

"If you want to research, be my guest; I'll have people cooperate with you. But if you discover anything, you must tell me, okay?"

Lord Gods are strong, but in the realm of 'research' they may not surpass Grand Perfections, so for some matters they can't work out on their own; consulting Grand Perfections is also worthwhile;

However, regarding treasures of Supreme God level, countless eons have shown that they cannot be researched; even the research madman Fate Overlord Ouf achieved no results.

Since Xiao En is a newly risen Grand Perfection, he likely won't be satisfied without trying; the Dark Overlord, being courteous, sees no loss for himself, and if Xiao En were to defy the heavens and uncover something, it might even benefit him.

"No problem," Xiao En nodded in agreement.

He also knows he can hardly discover anything, but he just wants to use this chance to investigate the angels' information inside the Soul Bead.

Then he tried asking, "Overlord, can I soul‑seed these angels or query their memories? That might let me see what happened to them inside the Angel Rebirth Pool."

"Ha ha, you think we haven't thought of that?" the Dark Overlord shook his head and laughed. "These angels, protected by the Angel Rebirth Pool's power, cannot be soul‑seeded, bewildered, or have their memories probed;"

"Not even outsiders—our contracted Dark‑aligned Lord Gods cannot do it. We can only passively use the Angel Rebirth Pool's power, commanding angels to do anything, even sending them to seek death."

"I see," Xiao En probed further, "If a Dark‑aligned Lord God terminates the contract with the Rebirth Pool, will the previously bound angels still be protected by its power?"

"Useless, not even if you terminate the contract," the Dark Overlord paused, seeming unwilling to elaborate, and said, "We've tried before; it's useless, we still can't probe their memories;"

"Killing an angel is easy, but probing memories or bewildering/soul‑seeding is impossible; even a Death Lord God cannot bewilder a lower‑tier divine angel."

"Then I'll just look at the Angel Rebirth Pool," Xiao En said, having obtained the information he needed.

However, he has a Soul Bead; its properties are so miraculous that perhaps he could try, but under the Dark Overlord's watchful eye he must be cautious—if he were discovered soul‑seeding an angel, things would be hard to control.

The Dark Overlord said, "As you wish, but first attend to the main task. Long ago I dispatched Lord God troops to the Dark Divine Plane to search for Sacred Realms with evil mysteries; they are ahead, you can go directly."

"Alright, I'll head over then," Xiao En replied.

His divine perception, infused with Lord God power, spans hundreds of thousands of li across the Divine Plane, easily covering the entire Mist Sea; in the great hall ahead lie thousands of Sacred Realms;

Only Lord God troops can so conveniently locate high‑level mysterious Sacred Realms in such numbers.

Decades later, Xiao En handed a transparent jar to the Dark Overlord: "Overlord, this fragment is a Soul Severance Fragment."

"Ha ha, thank you," the Dark Overlord rejoiced, then gave Xiao En a Spatial Ring: "Xiao En, this contains 10,000 drops of Death Lord God's power and 10,000 drops of Dark Lord God's power, as my reward."

"Thank you, Overlord," Xiao En said politely after pocketing it. "Overlord, now that everything is done, I wish to study the Angel Rebirth Pool."
