Chapter 92: The Loophole of the Supreme God Oath

The Qinglong Main God said again, "Great Perfection is harder to request; try it. If it fails, we can only contract the family front line—elders within the family cannot match the sheer numbers of expendables outside."

The elders of the Four Beast Family, each death reduces their number; there are only four to five hundred in total, whereas the external Seven Star Demons are too many—if a hundred die, as long as they have Main God's power, they can summon a whole new batch.

There's no way around it; the Four Beast Family has offended too many foes in the past. Even with Main God's backing today, finding that many volunteers willing to fight to the death for the Four Beast Family is not easy.

"Yes." Gaisleisen could only reply.

Now it seems that his father and others have been targeted by a powerful being, and under these circumstances they have no recourse.

The Main God and the gods are two completely different realms.

On the Qingyuan Plane, after stripping fragments of some souls and implanting them into certain gifted descendants of the Qinglong Clan, Shawn sensed the approach of Mingshe.

After Bach arrived, he knelt and said, "Main God, on the Divine Plane many families have recently begun encircling and slaughtering the Four Beast Family; even numerous minor families have obtained Main God's power. The Four Beast Family has suffered heavy losses; as far as I know, several Seven Star Elders have already been killed."

"Even minor families have Main God's power?" Shawn's voice carried a hint of surprise. "It seems other Main Gods have gotten involved."

According to his original intent, to conceal the true purpose, killing a few more members of the Four Beast Family would suffice; after the mission, the Mingshe clan and the Barbari clan would both be in a strategic contraction state.

However, the Four Beast Family kept pursuing, causing the scale of the conflict to grow larger, making it hard to halt even briefly.

Unexpectedly, this has now drawn other Main Gods into the fray; it's unclear who is daring to stir the waters, but it is likely another Sovereign.

Mingshe laughed, "Main God, I once heard the Refining Fire Main God say that the Four Beast Family is overbearing, and their Main God is equally overbearing; many Main Gods look down on them. I guess at this point, someone has grown tired of them."

"This matter is gradually slipping out of my control," Shawn thought and said, "There are three more individuals within the Heaven Sacrifice Mountain Range; eliminate them quickly. On my side, someone has already comprehended the final of six mysterious arts and has fused two of them. Once he ascends to a High-level Divine Form, I'll send him back to the Heaven Sacrifice Mountain Range to see if he can retrieve some information."

Killing under the gaze of the Four Beast Main God remains very difficult; even his Great Perfection divine avatar cannot go near, so he must rely on "internal agents."

"If we can find out when they emerge, I can dispatch assassins for the final strike. As long as the Main God doesn't take part, the problem won't be big," Mingshe replied.

"Hmm," Shawn nodded. "Just wait."

Hundreds of years later, "Boom—" the celestial law descended within the dark forest;

A towering man, his whole body bathed in the protection of the Heaven-Earth Law, saw his Mid-level Divine Form on his crown gradually transform into a High-level Divine Form.

After the Heaven-Earth Law ended, before the man could relish the power of a High-level Divine Form, a soul force enveloped him; he moved, turned, and knelt, "Greetings, Master."

Shawn said coolly, "Florian, leave the fire Mid-level Divine Avatar now, and send the water High-level Divine Avatar straight to Hell. The Heaven Sacrifice Mountain Range is your home; once you arrive, lie low, and I will arrange for someone to contact you."

"Yes, Master," Florian replied.

Shawn's divine perception locked onto six soul-seeded Seven Star Demon Peaks, "You six, escort Florian to the Heaven Sacrifice Mountain Range and ensure its safety along the way."

Several decades later, Florian appeared before Shawn and said, "Master, I've investigated; because recent ambushes against the Four Beast Family have increased, all departures from the Heaven Sacrifice Mountain Range are now approved by the Grand Elder of the Qinglong Clan."

"Grand Elder?" Shawn immediately thought of someone and asked, "Is it Gaia?"

Florian replied, "Yes, but the Grand Elder usually doesn't handle such matters; his grandson Immanuel is in charge."

"Immanuel?" Shawn also recalled the Fuerhan who was killed on the Water Divine Plane earlier.

These two have repeatedly thwarted Lin Lei in the original work; now that one is dead and the other will become his target, it's likely Lin Lei's resurgence need not worry about them anymore;

As for Lin Lei, Shawn doesn't care whether he will be reborn. If he hadn't had the chance to become a Main God, he would simply interact with him appropriately under the identity of Great Perfection. Moreover, if Dilia were injured, he could easily rescue her; that favor, after Lin Lei's transcendence, granting himself a Main God form wouldn't be difficult. Of course, the history must still follow its original course.

But now he has become a Main God, and early on he offended the Four Beast Family; future confrontations may arise, so he naturally doesn't care about later matters. If the chance arises to kill the Four Beast Family and study combined innate divine abilities, he would not hesitate at all.

Florian said, "Yes, if the Master can soul‑seed him, any arrangement becomes easy."

He didn't know Shawn's purpose, nor that Shawn was a Main God or his true identity, but he did know that his master's goal was to draw out several people hidden within the Heaven Sacrifice Mountain Range.

"Soul‑seeding him isn't hard, but I can't reach the Heaven Sacrifice Mountain Range," Shawn said with a faint smile. "Fine, your mission is complete; let your High-level Divine Avatar stay peacefully in the Heaven Sacrifice Mountain Range."

"Yes, Master." Florian agreed and then left;

Only the nearby Mingshe Bach remained; Shawn asked, "Bach, what do you think?"

Even the Barbari don't know Shawn's identity or Main God nature; only Bach, who early on had to use the Great Perfection identity to bring him to the Material Plane, knows many details about Shawn and is thus one of the people Shawn currently trusts.

Moreover, even with the Supreme God Oath and soul‑seeding power, to be safe, after completing missions in the Underworld and the Water Divine Plane, all of Mingshe Bach's divine avatars arrived on the Qingyuan Plane, while many elites of the Mingshe clan went to other Material Planes.

Bach waited a moment and replied, "Main God, for someone like Immanuel, who lacks no Main God's power and holds a high position in the Main God family, there is probably nothing that can attract him besides the Main Artifact."

To make him leave the Heaven Sacrifice Mountain Range, likely only the Main Artifact can achieve that.

"You mean, restart the Gods' Cemetery?" Shawn retorted.

Bach laughed, "Yes, as long as Immanuel learns about the Gods' Cemetery, he may come. Many Divine Plane masters would risk their lives for a drop of Main God's power, and for a Main Artifact, no matter how risky, someone will consider the gamble."

The most dangerous place to obtain a Main Artifact is naturally the Plane Battlefield; every trillion years, countless commanders risk their lives to go there, betting on a future.

And the "lie" we created, which is actually a Main Artifact, makes that Plane Battlefield nothing more than a collection of badges.

Shawn nodded, "Alright, have Dimet figure out a way to return to the Heaven Sacrifice Mountain Range and inform Immanuel of this."

Bach added, "Main God, letting Dimet go is indeed possible, but to ensure authenticity we still need the Supreme God Oath, so we must also enable Dimet to utter that oath."

"Haha, fine, no problem," Shawn laughed. "Immediately dispatch Dimet to the Canglan Material Plane; the treasure of the Gods' Cemetery awaits him."

Various operations on the Material Plane, except for a few, are not carried out on the Qingyuan Plane but on other planes; besides, he can still manifest energy avatars, and his strength is enough to suppress all incoming Divine Plane masters.

The same applies to the Gods' Cemetery; the only fear is that one day the secret leaks and other Main Gods learn of it, in which case we can have them investigate a false plane.

Even to secure a fallback, Shawn deliberately soul‑seeded several peak masters; if other Main Gods inquire, just say they were a few of his pranksters, and at worst they'd be killed.

This is due to the special nature of the death rule and Soul Pearl soul‑seeding abilities; otherwise, any other Main God lacks the capacity to remotely manipulate so many Divine Plane affairs from the Material Plane, and would easily be detected as anomalous.

Ten years later, the Canglan Material Plane:

Dimet arrived over a sea region, where a black‑shadowed man held several weapons, armor, rings, necklaces, and the like, displaying them before Dimet.

"Main Artifact." Dimet's eyes were filled with boundless desire, wanting to snatch all the treasures before him.

As a top master of a Divine Plane peak family, he had seen the Main Artifact before, so upon sensing its aura he recognized it instantly;

However, he had been soul‑seeded; under his master's orders he could not disobey, yet his instinctual desire made him crave it greatly. One should know that if such an ownerless Main Artifact truly appeared, even the Four Beast Family couldn't ignore it—no amount of Main God's power compares to a single Main Artifact;

At present, there were seven or eight such items before him.

The black figure smiled lightly, "You've already seen an ownerless Main Artifact, so you can now issue the Supreme God Oath outward. Now, find a reason to return to the Heaven Sacrifice Mountain Range, then figure out how to bring Immanuel over; remember, all his divine avatars must come as well."

The Supreme God Oath is a law unique to the Panlong Universe; the oath is valid as long as one does not lie.

Therefore, Shawn specifically sent Dimet to the Canglan Material Plane to see an ownerless Main Artifact; after that, swearing that he has seen it poses no problem, and others hearing the Supreme God Oath generally won't doubt it.

This greatly increases credibility and ensures the mission's success.

Dimite suddenly knelt and said, "Master, I will fulfill your mission with all my effort, but could you give me a primary artifact? That way my strength would increase dramatically."

"Not for now; if you take the primary artifact to Hell, the Four Beast Main Deity will easily notice," Shawn said indifferently. "After you complete your mission, we can discuss it."

The Heaven Sacrifice Mountains are where the Four Beast Main Deity dwells, and that is the hardest to handle; not only Shawn himself, but even other masters of the Death Rule who seed Four Beast clan members nearby could risk being discovered.

Therefore the best approach is still to trick the person onto the material plane; once they arrive here, Shawn decides.

"Yes, Master, I can return to report to Clan Chief Gaisu Leisen about the conflict with the Underworld Snake clan," Dimite said after kneeling.

Shawn nodded, "Alright, go. Remember, you must ensure that several of Immanuel's divine avatars appear."

Dimite has only one divine avatar, so targeting him was much simpler, whereas those with two or three avatars who habitually keep their weaker ones at safe points would find it unlikely to secretly seed souls.

Dimite smiled, "Understood, Master. With the temptation of the primary artifact, I think Immanuel will fall for it."

Over a decade later, inside a house in the Heaven Sacrifice Mountains, Immanuel opened his eyes in surprise and looked at the subordinate reporting to him, asking oddly, "Dimite? What does he want from me?"

The subordinate reported, "Unclear; he didn't say."

"Fine, I'll go right away," Immanuel said hurriedly.

Although Immanuel's rank within the Four Beast clan is slightly higher, Dimite is also a very powerful elder, one of the strongest in the White Tiger clan, so he naturally receives respect;

Moreover, even a regular elder, or a six‑star rank, would still be able to meet other elders when needed, since they're not the clan chief.

Soon, Immanuel arrived on a meadow, where Dimite was leisurely drinking tea.

"Elder Dimite," Immanuel said with a smile as he approached, "what do you need from me?"

Dimite gave a faint smile, "Immanuel, there is a tremendous opportunity; I wish to invite you to compete for it together."

"What opportunity?" Immanuel asked curiously; at their level, ordinary opportunities are hardly appealing.

Dimite remained silent, but transmitted his voice, "The ownerless primary artifact."

"What?" Immanuel's expression changed sharply, almost making him forget the transmission; seeing that Dimite was not joking, he asked, "Elder Dimite? Is this serious?"

"Of course it's true; I can invoke the Supreme God's oath," Dimite said with a smile. "I, Dimite, swear in the name of the Destructive Supreme God that the treasure just mentioned to Immanuel is exactly what I have seen; if it is false, I am willing to have my soul scattered."

He has indeed seen the ownerless primary artifact, so he would not swear falsely.

"Then why are you seeking me?" Immanuel, not a fool, though eager for the primary artifact, also needs to know whether there is any plot;

In theory, the Four Beast clan is internally cohesive and rarely betrays its own, but that is because they lack no supply of the most noble Main Deity's power; what other thing could be valuable enough to cause internal strife?

Yet now that the primary artifact is involved, even father and son may no longer be trustworthy.
