Chapter 81: Blood‑Shed Targets, Mission Completed

"No problem, I'll arrange it," Shawn replied.

Dimite reminded again: "Master, the upper‑tier gods of our clan each wield Lord God's power; if ten thousand of them gather, their strength will be terrifying, and even if peak experts join, it's hard to guarantee these people won't escape;

To keep all of them completely, the great families of the Underworld must intervene, and each must possess Lord God's power."

"This will definitely become a super war in the Underworld," Shawn said, knowing that the number of experts in the Ming Snake Clan combined with his own Lord God's power could indeed achieve this.

However, if ten thousand people unleash Lord God's power, it may attract considerable attention from many Lord Gods; yet it's necessary to conceal the Supreme God's relic.

Dimite added: "Therefore, if we can ambush, it's better to ambush—send experts to kill the majority outright, and the remaining impact will be far smaller."

Once soul‑seeded, he will only consider the master's orders; his own clan won't matter much, perhaps only his son and close kin will feel some fluctuation, but he will unquestionably obey the master's command.

"You make a good point," Shawn nodded. "Then, try not to place the six‑star demons and seven‑star elders inside; their presence would introduce many variables, and if a few are killed, it could draw the Four Beast Lord God's attention."

Even if the Ming Snake Clan is powerful, besieging so many upper‑tier gods with Lord God's power may not be hard to win, but achieving total annihilation is far from easy;

If there are a few seven‑star or dozens of six‑star individuals, their attempt to flee using Lord God's power may not be fully contained by the Ming Snake and others; even a siege on these experts could cause the target to escape;

If these people enter the city, it will be difficult to act further.

Dimite replied: "No problem, I'll redeploy the experts, but there may be a few six‑star ones; I can't order to send none at all, just a little."

"If later it's just a large number of ordinary clan members dying, I'll try to suppress the incident so the Lord Gods don't notice, but the rest of the clan will certainly care, leading inevitably to revenge among divine ranks."

"That's fine," Shawn said indifferently.

Why did I approach the Ming Snake Clan? Simply to find a suitable reason for these targets' deaths;

As for the ensuing war among divine ranks, granting the Ming Snake Clan some Lord God's power would render the Four Beast Clan powerless in the Underworld, unless reinforcements are drawn from other planes.

If we set aside Lord God's power, in the peak‑expert tier, the Four Beast Clan may not be much stronger than some divine‑level expert families, since those families rely on strength from the Divine Plane.

Dimite said: "Then it's fine, but we may need to wait a while before I can muster enough clan members to head to Sea Oak City."

"No rush, this isn't urgent; I also need some time to set up," Shawn nodded. "I'll place another person beside you; when you need something, contact him directly, and his divine avatar will reach me."

The reason I could smoothly soul‑seed Dimite directly is that he only has a wind‑type talent; otherwise it would have been difficult to act.

But that's normal; most people on the Divine Plane have only one talent, or a second that rarely leads to divinity.

On the Qingyuan Plane, Shawn summoned the Ming Snake;

"I have seen the Lord God," the Ming Snake Bach said after kneeling.

Shawn said: "Bach, have Bro look for another chance to strike the party emerging from Blood Dragon Valley; this time, no need to capture anyone, just kill them."

Bro is the Ming Snake's son and the clan's second strongest expert, extremely powerful; in the original work he also fought Lin Lei, and if Lin Lei hadn't had a soul‑defending Lord Artifact, his innate divine skill would likely have killed Lin Lei on the spot.

Such an expert can only be retained if a Lord Artifact‑level Asura intervenes; otherwise it's very difficult.

Bach replied: "Yes, Lord God, I'll send Bro to the spot between Blood Dragon Valley and Sea Oak City to look for an opportunity."

"Also, after this is done, have Bro come here; there's something I need to attend to personally regarding both of you," Shawn added.

Bach was startled but agreed: "Thank you, Lord God, for giving Bro the chance to see you."

For a typical Asura, meeting the Lord God in person is already an honor, and Bro, as a peak seven‑star demon, is even less qualified.

"Step back," Shawn waved his hand.

"Yes." Bach retreated slowly.

Shawn's figure flashed, arriving beside Burei;

"Mr. Shawn?" Burei said with a smile, "What brings you here."

"I need you to help me set up a magic array," Shawn said with a faint smile, then sat down together.

Currently on the Qingyuan Plane, aside from the Ming Snake, no one knows they have become Lord Gods, including their own clan descendants and Burei, who all think they are Great Perfection;

First, there's no need to tell them; it doesn't help my current needs. Second, Burei also has a divine avatar out there.

When dealing with an easygoing Great Perfection, Burei and his people will treat them normally, as friends, and Shawn naturally won't act out.

Burei smiled: "What kind of magic array does Mr. Shawn need?"

Shawn said: "You remember the array you gave me before that could trap many people; I now need a similar one, but larger in scale, covering a bigger area, and able to withstand more internal attacks, including when many experts are inside."

"More experts? More than before?" Burei asked with a hint of dread;

The array he previously gave Shawn was already a very powerful confinement array; with Lord God's power it could trap multiple seven‑star demons wielding Lord God's power.

Shawn said: "The number of this siege could be dozens to hundreds of times larger than before."

The last siege involved about a thousand experts; this time the quality may be lower, but the sheer number is enormous.

Burei understood that a request from a Great Perfection signified a major matter; after a moment's hesitation he said: "Mr. Shawn, controlling a magic array with Lord God's power has limits; if many inside use Lord God's power to attack, it could be breached."

"But there's another confinement array based on Dark Law, highly corrosive and prone to cause internal disorientation; as long as there's enough Dark Lord God's power, it can control those inside, though its effect on experts above seven‑star is weaker."

"That's fine; how much Dark Lord God's power is needed?" Shawn asked.

This ambush targets few peak experts and many ordinary divine‑level ones; if not aiming for total annihilation, the Ming Snake and Bro can easily scatter them, but achieving total annihilation is sufficiently difficult;

But after preparing for so long, it's about time.

"That's hard to say; the more people trapped, the more Dark Lord God's power is consumed," Burei said.

Shawn nodded: "Alright, I understand. Prepare the array; once it's done, I'll give you a hundred drops of Light and Dark Lord God's power."

"Thank you, Mr. Shawn." Burei also realized that now, together with Shawn, this Great Perfection, they have walked a dark road.

Nevertheless, gaining so much Lord God's power is not in vain; many seven‑star demons on the Divine Plane risk death for a single drop of Lord God's power.

Decades later, the metallic lifeforms traveling from Blood Dragon Valley to Sea Oak City were again attacked by unknown experts, causing hundreds of clan members to fall.

The Blood Dragon Valley lord Dimite was enraged, ordering clan soldiers to patrol the area en masse and restricting clan members' travel; they must wait for enough numbers plus escorts, and need the valley lord's consent before heading to Sea Oak City.

Decades later, on the Qingyuan Continent:

Bro cautiously asked the Ming Snake: "Father, what's inside?"

He was also puzzled why his father wanted him to come to this material plane, and refused to tell him no matter what.

The Ming Snake said indifferently: "Go in; it might be good for you as well."

When one's clan is chosen by a Lord God as a pawn, there is no room for resistance; one must obey.

Their hatred toward the Four Beast Clan is a deep blood feud, so even if they are truly being used, they are somewhat willing.

After the two entered the palace, Bu Luo saw a dark silhouette seated above, but he could not sense it at all. Just as he was about to ask, "Boom~" a terrifying wave of energy spread out, and the immense pressure made Bu Luo hard to keep his footing.

"I have seen the Lord God," Ming She knelt first.

"I pay respects to the Lord God," Bu Luo hurriedly knelt as well, his body pressed to the ground, daring not to lift his head.

He had previously guessed that his father's sudden daring move against the Four Beast Clan might have Lord God's backing, but he did not expect that he could actually see the Lord God now.

Shawn tossed a book aside and said coolly, "This is a magic array; you two should familiarize yourselves with it first, then you can set it up at the upcoming ambush site. The same goes for members of your clan—don't let your own people get trapped by the array."

"Yes, Lord God." Ming She, already aware of what he must do, took the book, scanned it with his divine sense, and said, "Lord God, I need to operate a test myself first to know its effect."

"No problem, time is not urgent," Shawn added, "One more thing: go find enough dark stones for me—the more, the better. You can use your Lord God's power to go directly to the Dark Divine Plane and trade with some Peak Clan for them."

Although the Dark Overlord and the Death Overlord had given him some Dark Lord's power, the amount was still insufficient, and he could not go out to ask other Dark Lords, so he had to extract it from currency;

For a deity, refining Lord God's power from currency is extremely difficult, with great loss in the process, but for the Lord God, regardless of the sect, it is just a thought away; normally it wouldn't be so troublesome—simply asking another Lord God would be easier.

"Yes, Lord God, I will deliver the dark stones as soon as possible," Ming She replied.

Shawn said coolly again, "Ba He, Bu Luo already knows about us; according to the rules, you should know as well."

"Yes, I understand." Ba He hurriedly said to his son, "Bu Luo, you need to issue a Supreme God oath, and also need…"

After hearing that, Bu Luo realized he had no choice, and if he could truly deal with the Four Beast Clan and inflict enough damage, even at the risk of death he was willing to gamble.

He immediately took the Supreme God oath, opened his soul, and accepted Shawn's soul influence—this is not a soul seed, but if he dares to betray, the internal soul power will instantly backfire on Bu Luo.

Shawn added, "Bu Luo, this is a Soul Defense Artifact I specially forged. Though it doesn't match the primary divine artifact, it's far stronger than ordinary Soul Defense Artifacts. I'll have you bind it shortly."

"Thank you, Lord God," Bu Luo hurriedly replied.

Immediately, Shawn assisted Bu Luo in binding his Soul Defense Artifact;

The Soul Defense Artifact is inherently "unstable"; without the original owner's aid it would simply disperse. However, because the primary Soul Defense Artifact contains the Lord God's willpower, it can bind directly with a blood pact like other primary divine artifacts.

After finishing, Shawn said, "Ba He, the hundred six‑star demon experts I sent you, send them all out next time, grant them Lord God's power. Remember, they are death soldiers; prioritize them when danger arises, and your clan members are relatively more important."

Although to the Lord God all are expendable, those controllable via soul seeds are even less of a concern, and the experts of the Ming She clan, who at least despise the Four Beast Clan, have higher utility;

It's also because, even though Shawn's soul‑seed ability is god‑defying, it has limits; there are people who can act for him without soul seeds, so there's no need to sacrifice the first batch.

"Yes, thank you, Lord God." Ming She expressed gratitude again.

The fact that the Lord God can speak to him like this is already a great honor.

In the following centuries, Ming She made a trip to the Dark Divine Plane, sought out many great families, exchanged a large amount of dark stones, and delivered them to the Qingyuan Plane;

Shawn then acted, directly extracting tens of thousands of drops of Lord God's power, and handed them to members of the Ming She clan to set up the magic array;

Once everything was ready, Shawn notified Di Mi Te, and six metallic beings, carrying many clan members, headed for Hai Li City, including all target individuals;

During the journey, Ming She, Bu Luo, and over a hundred six‑star and seven‑star demons acted personally: first they deployed a potent soul toxin gas, ambushing and slaughtering a large number of Four Beast Clan members; then they launched a direct assault with Lord God's power, again ambushing and killing many.

By the time the Four Beast Clan members reacted and tried to wield Lord God's power, they were already surrounded, and the surrounding hundreds of miles turned into complete darkness, with divine sense unable to penetrate.

"Ming She, is that you?" a leading six‑star demon shouted angrily, "Do you want the Ming She clan to vanish completely from the Divine Plane?"

Ming She Ba He said coolly, "Whether our clan will disappear is unknown, but for now the ones who will die first are you."

Bu Luo immediately ordered coldly, "Everyone, attack."

A mere six‑star rank daring to threaten the Ming She clan—only the Four Beast Clan would be bold enough to act so arrogantly.

The surrounded six‑star demons, seeing the surroundings, instantly transmitted, "All, kill, for the honor of the Four Beast Clan."

"Hmph, I was still worried you'd run away," Ming She sneered, then personally charged forward.

The people the Lord God intends to kill, he had already marked; acting personally ensures success, so even if later an accident lets some escape, it doesn't matter.

At this moment, the Four Beast Clan side has hardly any experts; facing over a hundred six‑star, a dozen seven‑star, plus a Peak Asura Ming She, a slaughter is about to begin.

The Four Beast Clan's six‑star demons, seeing that Ming She on each side wielded Lord God's power, instantly realized their former advantage was gone and tried to flee, but when they reached the edge of the surrounding darkness, they found there was no way out.

On the Qingyuan Plane, Ming She approached Shawn, knelt, and said, "Lord God, everyone from the Four Beast Clan is dead; none escaped."

PS: Many may not like this part of the story, and it's almost over, so I'll just say something casually— from the protagonist's perspective, completing the Supreme God mission without risk is definitely the most important, and those who know must be eliminated, even if the chance of it being exposed later is extremely low.

The Panlong World is a universe with almost no conflicts; cultivation requires no resources, relying entirely on innate talent, and there is no lifespan limit, so fan works have little plot to write.

I originally thought this could be written longer, but judging by the time, it'll probably take only two or three months, so that's that~
