Chapter 77: The Origin of the Supreme Divine Relic

Under the soul‑seed condition, Buweit naturally offered no concealment, but laid everything out: "Lord God, this incident was also an accident. Long ago I had a cooperative relationship with NaNaSaiEr; often I would entrust him to do certain tasks for me, and then I would give him some wealth."

"You are an elder of the Beast Clan, yet there are matters that require others to handle?" Shawn retorted.

Buweit replied: "Sometimes it is still necessary. Though the Four Beast Clan is domineering, some deeds are inconvenient to do personally, such as robbing caravans, slaughtering tribes; after all, with my clan's pride, we cannot be likened to bandits;

And NaNaSaiEr, though a Seven‑Star Demon, has no bottom line for wealth and will do any task, so I partnered with him."

"Fine, continue." Shawn showed no further doubt;

The Four Beast Clan is indeed domineering and shameless, often committing every evil, but as a Lord God family, especially the Four Beasts themselves comparable to the Ruler, they must maintain face and would not resort to banditry;

In the divine realms, bandits are the most despised by all forces; if a demon is confirmed to have joined bandits, its demon castle will revoke its status and may even issue missions to exterminate that bandit tribe, etc.;

Hence few masters are willing to become bandits; a Six‑Star Demon turning bandit is already the limit, and Seven‑Star demons rarely do so, as the Seven‑Star rank is already elite, with no special reason to engage in such acts.

Buweit continued: "Our cooperation had lasted billions of years and was pleasant, but once I set my eyes on a clan chieftain's daughter, so I arranged for him to annihilate the clan, then I seized the chance to play the hero and rescue the beauty."

Shawn interrupted with a laugh, "An elder of your Four Beast Clan covets a woman and still needs to play such a trick? Not just seize her directly?"

"I've taken enough by force; this seemed uninteresting, I wanted more fun, so I used this method. It's just spending a bit more money, and the enjoyment increases." Buweit said quite normally.

"What happened next?" Shawn asked again.

Buweit replied: "That clan was essentially wiped out, but a mid‑level deity suddenly produced a short spear in his hand. The short spear was extremely powerful; each high‑rank deity under NaNaSaiEr who approached was driven mad by the killing aura, almost allowing him to carve a bloody path;

Later I and NaNaSaiEr noticed the anomaly and together tried to seize that Main Artifact, but even as I approached my soul was affected by the killing aura; NaNaSaiEr, being a Seven‑Star Demon who cultivates the Destruction Rule, stubbornly resisted the aura, and after much effort we finally killed that mid‑level deity."

Shawn nodded and asked, "Then you turned on each other?"

Buweit shook his head: "No. After NaNaSaiEr obtained the Main Artifact, he was immediately seized by the killing aura, frantically attacking me. The Main Artifact's destructive power was immense in his hands; I eventually escaped only by using the Lord God's power;

Later, NaNaSaiEr, like a madman, raided nearby tribes; after several months he gradually recovered, and I found him, discovering his Destruction Rule had advanced another step. I couldn't tell whether it was due to the short spear of the Main Artifact or the endless slaughter.

"You are an elder of the Four Beast Clan; even without the Main Artifact you should have heard of it. Don't you find this short spear rather odd?" Shawn retorted.

Buweit said: "It is a bit different; this short spear isn't quite like the Main Artifact I know, but I've never seen it, so I can't be sure; besides the Main Artifact, what other weapon could possess such power?"

"Continue." Shawn said, not probing further.

The Supreme Divine Relic and the Supreme Artifact are known only to a few peak Asuras among the divine ranks; even the Seven‑Star elders of the Four Beast Clan have no right to know, and Gaisu also knows only a superficial hint, which is of no use.

Buweit said: "I negotiated with NaNaSaiEr, hoping to trade the Lord God's power for his Main Artifact, but he refused and directly threatened me, demanding I hand over the Lord God's power;

I thought he was arrogantly insane, so I fought him again, yet my soul attacks couldn't kill him; even expending more drops of the Lord God's power was useless, so I had to retreat, then ordered the clan's army to siege him, and then we encountered a high‑rank deity named Shawn, he…."

"That's enough." Shawn interrupted, then asked: "When you previously besieged NaNaSaiEr, how many clan soldiers and elites did you deploy? Write down their names, internal clan positions, or titles for me."

Even though Buweit had become a soul seed, he did not reveal his identity. Though theoretically no one can unravel his soul seed, there are too many defiant beings in this world, such as Ao Fu, who has studied in the heavenly realm for countless trillions of years, with profound soul research;

This involves the Supreme Divine Relic, and this mission is most likely in Ao Fu's Ao Gu Garden, where that material‑defense Supreme Artifact resides, so he must be cautious;

If the Supreme Divine Mirror is already in Ao Fu's hands, and he learns the miraculous history of this short spear I hold, I may find it hard to keep it;

Yet I now have a conflict with AoGuSiTa, and he is the same person as Ao Fu.

Buweit didn't think further; he wouldn't question the master's orders: "Yes, Lord God, I will write them down now."

Immediately, Shawn fetched pen and paper, and Buweit wrote down everything he remembered.

Once the list was in hand, Shawn asked: "Do these people all operate in the Underworld?"

Buweit replied: "Usually yes, but periodically there may be personnel swaps between planes; it's been less than 2 million years, and even then it's rare. I think most remain in the Underworld;

However not necessarily in Blood Dragon Valley; when there are no missions, clan members are free. Even clan soldiers have rest periods—typically a million years on duty then a million years off, rotating alternately."

"As far as I know, many of those who took part in the siege were killed by Shawn, right? They should only have a weak fragment left. What would happen in that case?" Shawn asked again.

Buweit replied: "If only a weak fragment remains, they can apply to leave the clan army and live peacefully at the clan headquarters, where the clan will look after them;

Some will choose city life, though fewer; cities are safe, but excessive safety can lead to a loss of freedom."

"You also noted that about 40 people originally escaped Shawn's pursuit." Shawn looked at the data and asked: "If I want to choose one soul seed, who would be suitable? Preferably one with only a single divine fragment, or one who likes to gather divine fragments together."

Buweit indeed knows these people's information, but after being exiled for a million years he is unaware of the situation in Blood Dragon Valley, nor does he know whether any of those who participated in the siege have gone to other divine planes;

Only those still alive in Blood Dragon Valley up to now would know the finer details.

Buweit thought and said: "There is a person named AErFangSi, from my Azure Dragon Clan. His strongest divine fragment and the Sanctum's true form were killed during a demon mission; later he could only rely on another fire‑type divine fragment for cultivation, eventually becoming a high‑rank deity and merging two mysteries."

He greatly enjoys traveling to Sea Oak City near Blood Dragon Valley to sample various delicacies; intercept him on the road.

"AErFangSi? Good." Shawn nodded, then said: "Stay in this plane, don't go to the divine planes; the Four Beast Lord God won't find you. Also, the material‑defense Main Artifact you carry bears a mark left by the Azure Dragon Lord God; remove its recognition and toss it into a spatial vortex."

The Main Artifacts forged by the Lord God all retain a mark that can sense the holder's location, so when a Lord God's envoy dies, the Lord God can locate the Main Artifact, unless it's sealed in a spatial ring;

However this method is of little use, because if you cannot take it out, taking it out and being found by the Lord God is a death sentence, and keeping it hidden is useless; thus no divine being would foolishly do this.

The Main Artifact he casually took from a plane battlefield had long been destroyed by a soul bead; even if it weren't, as the current Lord God he could destroy it today.

"Yes." Buweit showed no hesitation, directly contacting the surface of the Main Artifact to recognize its master, then tearing open space and throwing it out.

Shawn laughed: "I guess the Azure Dragon Lord God will think you have committed suicide."

Once a self‑crafted Main Artifact is recognized or its recognition is removed, the Lord God will know, so stealing another's Main Artifact and hiding it is ineffective.

Buweit said: "Thank you, Lord God, for the rescue. From today onward, Buweit will no longer exist in this world."

"Alright, stay in this plane for now; if anything comes up later, I'll still ask you." Shawn said indifferently.

He also doesn't know how long it will take to resolve the Four Beast Clan's issue; having a former Four Beast Clan elder nearby would be a great help.

Buweit: "Yes, Lord God."

After Buweit left, Shawn dispersed his divine sense and summoned the Underworld serpent Bach, saying: "Bach, investigate. The Four Beast Clan has a high‑rank deity named AErFangSi; he specializes in fire but belongs to the Azure Dragon Clan. However, since the Sanctum's true form is gone, there's no Azure Dragon Clan aura;

He should reside in Blood Dragon Valley and greatly likes going to nearby Sea Oak City; once you verify, set an ambush at the right moment, then directly soul‑seed him, and bring him to meet me."

Soul‑seeding a second‑fusion high‑rank deity is a trivial matter; it doesn't require his great perfection, a stronger Death‑Rule master can accomplish it.

In any case, he must avoid direct conflict with members of the Four Beast Clan, as uncontrolled clashes could entangle him.

"Yes, Lord God." Bach replied.

In the Underworld, at the foot of the Grim Mountain, a swift black figure arrived at the pond inside the hotel;

"Ruler." When Shawn arrived, he immediately sealed the surrounding space with willpower; he also knew the Ruler did not want others to know her identity.

The Death Ruler glanced at Shawn, smiling: "Back so quickly? You were meditating in the Undersea, you might as well stay here to meditate; why wander around?"

Shawn laughed, "I'm just wandering casually; if I find a place that's decent, I'll stay for a while."

The Lord God may scan the continent from time to time; if it's an ordinary Asura with nothing special for the Lord God to remember, he basically won't pay attention. But Great Perfection is different— even without deliberate focus, he might give it an extra glance.

So during that period, Shawn was just idly roaming the Underworld, without any interaction with Bach the Underworld Snake or the Four Beast Clan.

"As you wish," the Death Overlord said indifferently. "Your disciple has decent talent; I taught him a bit, and he directly achieved the third fusion. He's now striving to merge the fourth Profound."

Shawn replied, "Thank you, Overlord."

The Death Overlord might regard god‑level beings as ants, yet since he's looking for amusement, when he pretends to be god‑level he doesn't display the Lord God's traits.

And when encountering a uniquely gifted being like Parhaus, he might offer a little guidance; that's normal. Shawn is now also a Lord God, so if he meets someone with strong talent, he may also give some instruction.

"If there's nothing else, accompany me fishing; if there is, go attend to your own matters," the Death Overlord added.

Shawn naturally gave the Death Overlord face: "Then let's fish first; besides, there's not much I can teach Parhaus anyway."

A few years later, Shawn gave up fishing and stood before Parhaus.

"Master," Parhaus said upon seeing his teacher, quickly bowing in salute.

Shawn laughed and asked, "Parhaus, how's the fusion of your fourth Profound going?"

Parhaus replied, "Master, my Mist Illusion Profound has already merged with the Water Element and the Circular Soft Profound; the three have fully fused;"

"Now it's stuck at the final bottleneck between Mist Illusion and Water Body Art. If this breakthrough occurs, the fourth can be prepared for complete fusion."

"Very good, keep at it; after the Four Fusion, I'll let you go out to explore," Shawn said, satisfied.

If in the future his Lord God avatar appears on the Divine Plane, then as a Lord God many things would become inconvenient to do;

And if Parhaus can become a Water Great Perfection, it would greatly aid him.

However, the prerequisite is still a breakthrough; even if the current Great Perfection were reborn once more, there's no guarantee— it's a combination of strength, opportunity, destiny, luck, and effort.

Parhaus didn't think further and said, "Yes, Master."

Hundreds of years later: in a valley near Blood Dragon Valley, a man was cultivating in seclusion;

Another person swooped in rapidly: "Father, I just received word that Alphonse will ride the next batch of Metal Lifeforms to Sea Oak City."
