Chapter 90: The Four Sovereigns' Conspiracy

Yi En Babali hurriedly replied, "Yes, Sovereign, I don't know who the other party is either, but he said that if you ask, just say he is a Great Perfection Sovereign God."

"Great Perfection Sovereign God?" In Yi Nasi's mind, several possible candidates instantly appeared, and he asked, "Is this Lord God male or female, and what principle or law does he follow?"

Yi En said, "Respectfully, Sovereign, I don't know either; the other concealed his aura and appearance, and I dare not inquire. This Lord God made me swear a Supreme Divine oath not to tell anyone else about his affairs, so I ask for your forgiveness."

"He forced you to make the Supreme Divine oath?" Yi Nasi didn't press the issue, for if it were those few, doing so himself would not be good.

However, given those few's temperament, they shouldn't go as far as coercing a god‑level act, and even normally they wouldn't do such a thing.

Yi En Babali shook his head and said, "Respectfully, Sovereign, that Lord God did not force me; he actually did nothing, only granted me enough Water Domain Lord God power so I could take revenge, and I am quite willing to do this."

Yi Nasi laughed after listening, "It seems the Four Beast Clan's oppression of people like you has reached its extreme."

"Yes, Sovereign, I've long contemplated perishing together with them, but lacking the strength, desperate effort is useless; I can only endure," Yi En's tone was filled with both resentment and joy.

The Four Beast Clan, as a higher‑ranked deity, possesses Lord God power; combined with innate divine abilities and mutual coordination, each member can be said to approach the Seven‑Star Water Hunter level. In such a case, even a coalition of several Water Domain Plane Asura clans would likely be unable to defeat them.

Without a Lord God behind them, it seems that apart from the Great Perfection, no one in heaven and earth could contend with the Lord God clans, especially the already powerful ones.

Yi Nasi said indifferently, "Hmm, fine. Since you volunteered and earlier did not defy my orders, I won't interfere with this matter. Do whatever you wish, but next time I won't appear on your behalf."

The reason he previously manifested to spar with the Four Beast Clan's Lord Gods was twofold: first, his own Lord God envoy could not inexplicably die at another Lord God's hands; even if guilty of a death crime, it required his intervention or consent. Second, he wanted to discover where the Babari Clan obtained so much Lord God power, suspecting other Sovereigns or even the Sovereign himself might be involved.

However, now it may involve those few, and he does not wish to over‑participate; when the exact situation is uncertain, blind involvement could cause trouble.

【4】 Yi En Babali hurriedly said, "Yes, Sovereign, thank you for your previous assistance."

Yi En Babali hurriedly said, "Yes, Lord, thank you for your previous help."

"Hmm, fine, you may go down." Yi Nasi waved his hand and said lightly.

After Yi En Babali left, Yi Nasi pondered alone, "Considering the anomalies of the Underworld Serpent Clan, someone must be targeting the Four Beast Clan behind the scenes. What is their purpose?"

"Forget it, let's just negotiate with those few." After pondering for a while without certainty, he swung his right hand, the space tore open, and he slipped inside.

Hell, Tianji Mountain Range:

The Four Beast Clan's Lord God, accompanied by Gai Ya, arrived at the clan patriarch's grand hall in the Tianji Mountain Range. Gaisileisen, who was in seclusion, saw his father and others with his sister and asked in surprise, "Father, Gai Ya? You?"

Gai Ya, eyes reddened, said, "Fu Erhan is dead."

"Dead? What happened?" Gaisileisen's heart skipped a beat; this was his sister's only son and also one of the strongest elders of the Azure Dragon clan.

Gai Ya replied, "It was the Babari Clan, they…"

"All of his divine avatars together?" Gaisileisen asked.

Gai Ya nodded.

Gaisileisen was silent for a moment, cursed "fool" in his mind but said little, then looked up at the several Lord Gods and said, "Father, I think the events occurring in the Underworld and the Water Domain Plane are unlikely to be coincidental;"

"In fact, when the Underworld Serpent Plane targeted us, I had already considered it; after they clashed with us a few times, they all retreated, which makes me think they may have accidentally acquired a lot of Lord God power and want to challenge us;"

"But now it seems they definitely have a Lord God behind them; otherwise they couldn't possess so much Lord God power."

In ordinary Asura clans, even if the patriarch is a Lord God envoy, usually only the clan's Seven‑Star Demon elders or close relatives can have Lord God power; only the Lord God clans are never lacking.

The Serpent Clan's attacks on the Four Beast Clan in the Underworld caught Gaisileisen's attention; he wanted to observe further, but the Serpent Clan later hid again. The Underworld is so vast that even the Four Beast Clan would find it hard to locate them.

He originally thought the future would be a relentless hunt, but did not expect the Water Domain Plane to also encounter trouble, still possessing so much Lord God power, and dealing a massive blow to the Azure Dragon clan.

The Azure Dragon Lord God said gravely, "I think the same; at present, the most likely culprit is the Water Domain Sovereign."

"This Yi Nasi thinks that having a Lord God avatar lets him block our combined innate divine abilities; how laughable," White Tiger Lord God Ersi said coldly.

The Azure Dragon frowned, "Our innate divine abilities might be able to kill Yi Nasi, but the cost is that we cannot use them for a period; then any other Sovereign could kill us;"

"Therefore, even if we act, we must control the time and place, ensuring that after we succeed we are not exploited by other Sovereigns; otherwise we would be annihilated."

If not for this restriction, the four of them would have long since found opportunities to strike some Sovereigns.

Vermilion Bird Lord God Nimo said, "I feel it may not be Yi Nasi's doing; his purpose is wrong—he wants us to kill his Lord God envoy, seeking a chance to clash with us? Could he even intend to actively provoke us? That's courting death."

"Could his Water Domain principle have broken through the Great Perfection?" Black Tortoise Lord God suddenly said.

The Azure Dragon Lord God hurriedly said, "Impossible. If he truly broke through the Great Perfection, it would only give us reason to strike the Babari Clan, and he would have an excuse to deal with us;"

"If he were Great Perfection, our innate divine abilities could not affect him, so he wouldn't have needed to stop us from acting before."

White Tiger Lord God Nimo also said, "Yes, I also think it's impossible. Although Yi Nasi is not a special being, he is a rather rare powerful divine beast. Having been the Water Domain Sovereign for countless billions of years, how could he break through;"

"Moreover, if he truly broke through, his strength would certainly not be lower than that of the Four Great Sovereigns; not just us, even other principle Sovereigns would be no match."

Vermilion Bird Nimo thought for a moment and said, "Then this is rather odd; which Lord God is behind giving the Serpent and Babari clans so much Lord God power?"

"Could it be some middle‑rank or lower‑rank Lord God?"

"Probably not. Who would court death? Not a Sovereign would dare oppose our Four Beast Clan."

"If it's merely granting Lord God power, we have no reason to confront them, unless that Lord God ordered those two clans to attack us; but we could never obtain evidence of such," Azure Dragon Lord God Leiding also frowned.

"This"

The few also thought it somewhat reasonable; the Lord God covenant places no restriction on Lord God power, only that several Lord Gods voluntarily restrain themselves, and the four of them cannot use this as a pretext to attack other Lord Gods.

The four Lord Gods concluded their discussion; Leiding looked down and asked, "Gaisileisen, what do you think?"

"I think we should meet change with constancy; see if other families suddenly gain a lot of Lord God power," Gaisileisen analyzed, "If so, we can almost be certain a Lord God is opposing our Four Beast Clan, and we need to investigate which one later;"

"However, one thing I can't understand is that both family conflicts began targeting ordinary members of our clan, and then they hid, which doesn't seem like they intend to wage war with us."

"This matter is a bit odd; you go investigate," the Azure Dragon Lord God said without concern.

Lord Gods targeting one's own clan is what he cares about; as for other divine ranks, as long as they aren't those few his direct descendants or valued, their death is…

The Plane has its own rules; Lord Gods will not avenge ordinary divine beings, otherwise they'd become caretakers for countless descendants.

Furthermore, for the Four Beast Clan to become truly powerful, they need various challenges; if protected by Lord Gods, they will never grow.

Gaisileisen nodded and said, "I've already been investigating this, but have no leads; Gai Ya, don't go to the Water Domain Plane for now. Emmanuel hasn't seen you in a long time; you should spend time together."

"Alright," Gai Ya agreed.

Emmanuel is her only grandson; now that her son is dead, she indeed should get along well with her grandson.

Wind Domain Plane, Qing Emperor Mountain:

This is the most forbidden zone of the Wind Domain Plane, a mountain range about one million meters high, surrounded by tens of thousands of miles of countless wind blades that grow stronger toward the interior; the peripheral wind blades can easily kill mid‑rank deities, and those deep inside can effortlessly tear space.

In the Plane, only a few peak masters know that this is where the strongest of the Wind Domain reside, the place where the Wind Domain Sovereign Di Ya lives.

"Huh, why are they all together?" Diya, the wind‑system Dominant who was in seclusion, suddenly sensed several familiar divine consciousnesses sweeping over his palace, and his own divine consciousness scattered, discovering that the water‑system Dominant Yi Nasi, fire‑system Dominant Feitos, and earth‑system Dominant Mo Del were already around Qing Emperor Mountain.

"Diya, long time no see." Yi Nasi was the first to transmit his voice and smile; the other two Dominants did the same.

Diya smiled: "Indeed, it's been almost ten trillion years, probably back when we last fought a plane war. Come, the three of you, today I will definitely treat you well."

"Haha, Diya you're too polite." Yi Nasi said lightly, and in that instant the three of them had already flown in.

Diya waved casually, a large amount of food appeared inside the palace: "In this world only ten people can stand on equal footing with us; you three have come, can I be anything but courteous?"

Actually, not just Dominants, even other Primordial Deities visiting Diya, when there's no conflict, are generally very casually courteous; after all, counting the Great Perfection Deities, fewer than a hundred beings in the world are worth noticing.

"Haha, the Dominant level isn't just our eleven, there are another four," Yi Nasi suddenly said.

"Four Divine Beasts?" Diya's expression changed immediately, then he looked at Yi Nasi and asked: "Yi Nasi, what are they doing?"

Yi Nasi retorted: "Recently in the Underworld and water‑system divine planes, several Primordial Deity envoy families have clashed with the Four Divine Beast families; do you know?"

"Divine‑level? No." Diya shook his head: "I've been in seclusion these days and haven't paid attention to outside affairs; unless a major event occurs among Primordial Deities, the lower Primordial Deities won't disturb me."

Yi Nasi smiled: "That's how it is."

"The Underworld Snake and the Barbari family both possess enough Primordial Deity power? Then it seems there is indeed a Primordial Deity behind it?" Diya analyzed after hearing.

Feitos also said: "Yes, and according to Barbari, it's also a Great Perfection Deity; there are five Great Perfection Deities in this world, so it can't be Trecia or Icaros, leaving only the other three."

In this world there are five Great Perfection Deities in total: three regular Dominants and two lower Primordial Deities, namely the wind‑system lower Primordial Deity Trecia and the thunder‑system lower Primordial Deity Icaros.

"Among those three, one intends to act against the Four Divine Beasts?" Diya was shocked by this speculation; if true, it would be the biggest contention among Primordial Deities after the War of Faith.

Mo Del suddenly said: "But why start from the Underworld? Could it be that this Primordial Deity is lying, that he isn't a Great Perfection?"

"Probably not; Primordial Deities generally don't lie to divine‑level beings. Starting from the Underworld might instead be to clear their own ties," Feitos guessed.

Diya asked: "But if, according to your conjecture, after the Underworld Snake and Barbari family provoked the Four Divine Beast families, shouldn't they continue? Yet they both withdrew, which makes no sense."

Yi Nasi laughed: "So there's no concrete evidence; perhaps the one who acted feared interference from other equals, so they didn't act directly."

"You all know the Four Divine Beasts have survived until now because of a balance among the factions; otherwise they'd have died long ago."

"That makes sense." Mo Del nodded and said: "But those four idiots of the Four Divine Beasts completely ignore the principle of suffering for an innocent, and they always act so arrogantly."

Feitos laughed: "Haha, they're not that stupid; they're arrogant against us ordinary Dominants, but against a few elders they're just four worms."

"Hmph, thinking of this makes me angry too." Diya's eyes were also filled with fury;

The Four Divine Beasts, relying on their innate divine abilities to threaten Dominants, have repeatedly spoken disrespectfully to the few of us, yet we can only endure; although we know that after the Four Divine Beasts unleash their ultimate move they will be severely drained, threatening themselves, we still dare not gamble our lives.

"You just get used to it." Yi Nasi's tone also carried a hint of murderous intent: "Do you remember our four‑person pact?"

Diya asked: "Regarding the Four Divine Beasts?"

"Yes, the Four Divine Beasts' target must be us; they have provoked us many times, even tried to lure us to the Heaven Sacrifice Mountain Range, the purpose is obvious, so the four of us must cooperate," Yi Nasi nodded.

The Four Divine Beasts dare not kill us outside because if they act and succeed, the four crippled lower Primordial Deities would return to the Heaven Sacrifice Mountain Range with a higher Primordial Deity realm, which is extremely dangerous;

But if it's around the Heaven Sacrifice Mountain Range, after success their offspring would immediately refine the Primordial Deity realm, posing little danger, unless a Regulatory Dominant intervenes, in which case nothing would be safe.

The four Dominants of earth, water, fire, and wind also know this, so they have a cooperation agreement: when dealing with the Four Divine Beasts they protect each other, because if any one of the four were killed, the Four Divine Beast family would gain another Dominant, and the remaining three would likely not escape death.

Mo Del asked: "Yi Nasi, what do you want to do?"

"My suggestion is to promote this conflict, letting a certain elder act against the Four Divine Beasts." Yi Nasi said: "I don't know this elder's purpose, nor do I care; for the four of us, the Four Divine Beasts are the greatest threat. As long as the four of them die, or even one, we don't mind."

Diya nodded: "I agree."

"Me too, same." The other two also gave the same answer.

The existence and status of the Four Divine Beasts is a severe slap in the face to the earth, water, fire, and wind Dominants; they all hope these four die quickly.

Diya asked again: "Then what do you want to do?"

Yi Nasi sneered: "Now it's unclear what that elder's goal is, why they haven't continued to send people to provoke the Four Divine Beast families; from this angle we have no way to act, we can't just calculate the elder;

But this chaotic outbreak of the Four Divine Beast families gave me an idea: there are only two Asura families, and they've turned the Four Divine Beast families into this mess; if twenty or even dozens of families have enough Primordial Deity power?"

"You mean give the enemies of those Four Divine Beast families enough Primordial Deity power?" Diya thought and said: "That could indeed hurt the Four Divine Beast families, but it wouldn't affect that elder's actions, would it?"

Yi Nasi shook his head: "Actually I have another speculation; that elder deliberately hides his identity, provokes the Four Divine Beasts, perhaps to make it clear that a Primordial Deity is targeting them, but they don't know who."

"You say that if the Four Divine Beast offspring suffer heavy losses, the Four Divine Beasts will investigate, and then they might attract that elder."

"You might be right." Diya agreed: "Let the Four Divine Beasts panic first; once they make a mistake, that elder can strike directly, using the Four Divine Beasts' concern for their offspring, which is indeed a good move."

Yi Nasi laughed: "So I think we can give them a push, letting multiple planes' families target the Four Divine Beast families, causing massive chaos."

"But would that interfere with that elder?" Mo Del asked uncertainly.

Although all are Dominants, among them the strongest Yi Nasi is a world apart from the other three; a single move is not an exaggeration;

Yi Nasi shook his head: "It probably won't; I estimate that because those few balance relationships, this elder can't act directly, so our action actually helps;

And if we're wrong, it doesn't matter; watching the Four Divine Beast offspring be slaughtered by divine‑level enemies is entertaining, isn't it?"

"Haha, Yi Nasi, I like that move." Diya laughed heartily.
