Chapter 69: Return to the Netherworld

There had been some speculation before, but there was no evidence; now it can finally be confirmed.

"According to Fei Si Te's memory, Ao Gu Si Ta already possesses the Supreme God Sword, meaning the fifth Supreme God Quest has been completed, and the destruction‑attribute Supreme God Relic in his hand must be the sixth."

Shawn's eyes lit up, instantly filled with hope; if he could finish this Supreme God Quest and obtain the Supreme Artifact of Material Defense, then as long as the Death Rule reached Great Completion, he would no longer fear Ao Gu Si Ta, since he is also poor at soul attacks.

Of course, he might still not withstand Ao Fu's soul attacks, but if he refines another Lord God Core of Light or Life attribute, his soul defense would become a hundred times stronger, so even if he can't defeat Ao Fu, he shouldn't fear the soul attacks.

This is what he must do in the future; once successful, he can freely traverse the Divine Plane. The Ruler of the Four Great Rules, and perhaps the Chaos‑time‑space Destruction Ruler, might threaten him, but since the Four Sacred Beasts are still alive, there is no cause for worry.

Among these plans, the most crucial is the Supreme God Quest; without completing it, his material defense will remain a weakness.

"But where is the Supreme God Mirror? Without the Supreme God Mirror, how can one locate other Supreme God Relics?"

Shawn was also at a loss; even a Lord God who freely emits divine consciousness would have no chance of finding something he doesn't know on the Divine Plane, right?

Although his soul bead reacts when near a Supreme God Relic, it requires close proximity, and the Divine Plane is vast; the relic might even reside on the Material Plane.

Moreover, a greater danger looms: many members of the Four Beast Clan have seen the Supreme God Relic, but they assumed it was the Main Artifact;

According to the original Panlong history, this Supreme God Quest was likely covertly completed by Ao Fu and Ao Gu Si Ta, who then exchanged it for the Supreme Artifact of Material Defense;

But now, because of his appearance, history has changed; if the Supreme God Mirror ever manifests in the world and, as in the original story, becomes known to many, it's uncertain whether those members of the Four Beast Clan would associate it with him;

The likelihood is low, yet he must stay vigilant; the original work mentions that some peak commanders like Mo Si are aware of the Supreme God Quest, so previous attempts may have been exposed, even sparking a Lord God War, during which a Lord God fell.

If the Four Sacred Beasts learn of it, they will certainly target him, and if other Lord God Rulers also learn, he will inevitably be singled out by the Ruler of the Four Great Rules.

Missing this Supreme God Quest might mean never encountering the seventh Life Supreme God Quest again—who knows—so he should seize this opportunity!

After securing the Supreme God Relic, Shawn returned to his palace, where everyone was currently unconscious;

The moment he became a Lord God, the energy fluctuations were massive; even divine‑level experts could sense them. Although this is his Material Plane, if those people find out, they might later inform others intentionally or unintentionally;

He decided to wait until the dust settled before speaking further.

A day later, everyone awoke, and Shawn laughed, "Everyone, there's still plenty of food here; feel free to enjoy it."

"Thank you, Mr. Shawn / Sir," most people said, not finding it odd, merely thinking the wine Shawn provided was exceptionally tasty and impressive;

A few felt something off, pondered seriously, and concluded they were overthinking; if Shawn wanted to harm them, why bother caring for them with such fine food and drink?

Now a Lord God, Shawn was in high spirits, generously presenting a bounty of delicacies for everyone to share; as a Lord God, he can draw limitless Lord God Power from the elemental ocean, making money and wealth a joke.

After becoming a Lord God, Shawn kept feeding his willpower into his soul bead, which then displayed more memories of deceased Lord Gods—vivid lingering scenes that let Shawn recognize many other Lord Gods, see battles for Lord God Cores after the world's inception, and even a few contests over the Supreme God Relic.

But for Shawn, it held little significance; he was already a Lord God, and aside from the Supreme God Relic, nothing in the world seemed to captivate him.

One day, Bu Lei Le took the initiative to visit, saying, "Mr. Shawn, I'm preparing to return to the Dark Divine Plane."

"What are you going to do on the Dark Divine Plane?" Shawn asked.

Bu Lei Le replied, "My dark god avatar is still there, so I need to go over and give it the dark Lord God Power you gave me; that will ensure safety."

"If it's just about giving Lord God Power, you could have your dark god avatar come to our Material Plane," Shawn said with a smile.

Bu Lei Le responded, "Well, my dark god avatar can't come for now, and I also need to do some matters on the Divine Plane."

"Fine, then go. I'll assign two Seven‑Star Demons to protect you," Shawn added, "If anything happens, I can locate you through them."

Two peak‑level Seven‑Star Demons, combined with Lord God Power, will hardly encounter any safety hazards unless they meet a peak‑level Asura; the probability remains very low.

Bu Lei Le bowed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Shawn."

"You're welcome; you've helped me a lot as well," Shawn said with a smile.

After Bu Lei Le left, ten years passed quickly, and the Qing Yuan Material Plane returned to normal.

Shawn's Death Lord God Avatar and Sanctuary True Form began secluding themselves, cultivating the Death Rule with endless faith power until reaching their limits, then venturing beyond the spatial turbulence to expand the Divine Plane;

The Light God Avatar remains on the Material Plane, overseeing the entire realm; this avatar's strength is no less than a typical Great Perfection, making it invincible on the Material Plane;

The Life God Avatar, wielding two sets of willpower, is probably the strongest among countless plane Lord Gods and is preparing to head to the Netherworld.

Although the chance is low, he must still consider the possibility of the Supreme God Mirror being discovered.

In the Netherworld's Undead Sacred Mountain, a flash of light from the teleportation array made the figures inside vanish with a "whoosh," leaving only a bewildered soldier beside the array;

They have guarded the teleportation array for eons, occasionally encountering some Seven‑Star Demons, but this one was the fastest of all;

Above the North Skeleton Mansion in the Netherworld, Shawn sat inside a metal lifeform, pondering his next move, when a small metal lifeform nearby was suddenly surrounded by a horde of bandits, and a skirmish broke out within moments;

Finding himself unusually bored, Shawn began watching, and suddenly one of the attackers caught his attention.
