Chapter 93: Silencing Completed and the Next Plan

Dimiet had also prepared early, looking at Immanuel and saying: "Because of this matter, I can only cooperate with one person; the Prime Artifact is limited, there are too many people to share, and even within our ranks there would be internal strife;"

"The reason I chose you is, first, because your strength is sufficient; second, I need the Azure Dragon Clan's innate divine abilities to cooperate; third, your father has just sacrificed himself for the clan, so I suppose you must be thinking of obtaining the Prime Artifact, boosting your power, and then taking revenge, right?"

Immanuel, after listening, instantly filled his eyes with a hint of anger, but quickly returned to normal and said: "So that's it, but even within the Azure Dragon Clan there are many who are stronger than me, or the clan head and senior elders; they still possess the Prime Artifact."

Dimiet sighed: "Indeed, they are stronger, but if we tell them about this, they will most likely, for the sake of the clan, send other experts over, so even if the success rate becomes higher, what does that have to do with me? I can't possibly receive the Prime Artifact; at best I would get some Prime God's Power as a reward."

"You have a point," Immanuel nodded;

Excluding that reason, I am indeed the most suitable partner within the Azure Dragon Clan.

Dimiet added: "Now the clan is in crisis; offering the unclaimed Prime Artifact does benefit the clan, but it offers us no advantage;"

"If it were in the past, conceding to the clan and taking a slight loss would be acceptable, but now the clan is battling several other top clans; even we could fall at any moment. With the Prime Artifact we could defend ourselves; otherwise, if we encounter a siege or an Asura‑level master, we are very likely to fall."

"Fine, I agree with your approach." Upon hearing the possible fall, Immanuel immediately became cautious;

The clan is important, but not as much as one's own life; besides, I'm merely not giving the treasure that originally belonged to people like me to the clan, which doesn't count as betrayal;

On one side there is a modest reward, on the other side the Prime Artifact plus a higher chance of survival, so I naturally chose the latter without hesitation.

Dimiet smiled: "That's right, but there's one condition: both of your Divine Avatars must go, as it's extremely dangerous inside; your weak Divine Avatar combined with the Sanctuary True Form using Prime God's Power can unleash maximum combat power, equivalent to two."

Immanuel was stunned and said: "Both go? That's an excessive risk, isn't it?"

Dimiet replied: "There's a saying that wealth and honor are sought amidst danger; this is the Prime Artifact. Though the Four Beast Clan does not partake in that plane's battlefield, we know a bit about it,"

"Those peak commanders and Asuras, for a Prime Artifact, have entered countless times, each time carrying the risk of falling;"

"The place we are heading to is indeed dangerous, but compared to the plane's battlefield it's far less so; this kind of opportunity, if missed, is gone, and you still have other Divine Avatars. I am only one; if I go with the Sanctuary True Form and fall, I die as well."

"Fine, then both of my Divine Avatars will go." Immanuel thought for a moment and agreed;

In the Divine Plane, to become strong one must have an adventurous spirit; even the elders of the Four Beast Clan, when they were weak, could not grow if they always avoided difficulties.

Facing the Prime Artifact, any risk is worth taking.

Dimiet smiled: "Alright, once we're prepared we can set out soon, but you're responsible for some tasks in the Heaven Sacrifice Mountains; can you be free?"

"Tasks aren't an issue; you don't need to worry," Immanuel asked again: "Since I've agreed to go, you should explain this place first."

Dimiet nodded: "Of course, this place is called the Gods' Cemetery; it is on a Material Plane, it."

Over a decade later, the Canglan Material Plane teleportation array, representing Hell's portal, flashed, and two Ascended Gods already appeared within the array;

"Greetings, sir." The plane's guardian quickly bowed, and at the same time his other Divine Avatar had already informed others on another Material Plane about this matter.

Immanuel transmitted his voice and asked: "Dimiet, where is the Gods' Cemetery?"

Dimiet smiled: "Come, I'll take you there."

The two flew eastward together for tens of millions of li, and Immanuel, a bit impatient, asked: "How much farther?"

At that moment, he suddenly sensed an energy fluctuation behind him; his divine consciousness instantly probed and discovered a soul attack already approaching;

The soul attack was so fast that he couldn't react and was struck directly; his body shuddered, and Immanuel turned and knelt, saying: "Greetings, Master."

"Very well, Immanuel, return to Hell now, find a way to place those three into the same Metallic Lifeform, and then inform me," the shadow behind spoke coldly.

Immanuel took the list and replied: "Yes, Master."

Immanuel and Dimiet returned quickly, and from within the shadow emerged Shawn's figure;

"As long as those three are killed, there will be no hidden threats; at least this Supreme God's Relic will remain in my hand."

Shawn contemplated internally;

Even if I fail the Supreme God's Task, it's best that Ao Fu doesn't complete it either; otherwise, the three-piece Supreme Artifact, if Ao Gu Si Ta clings to me, at least I must prevent his other Divine Avatar from attaining true invincibility;

Of course, it's best to complete the Supreme God's Task myself; that way I can compensate for my weakness—material defense—and thus not fear the usual rule lords.

From now on, just wait for the news.

Several hundred years later, a Metallic Lifeform from the Heaven Sacrifice Mountains headed toward nearby Mirl City, but halfway there it was besieged by dozens of Seven-Star Demon‑level masters, plus a multitude of Five‑Star and Six‑Star masters nearby; the entire Metallic Lifeform was slaughtered to near extinction, not a single god‑level being escaped.

Such an incident at the gate of the Heaven Sacrifice Mountains naturally disgraced the Four Beast Clan, and Gai Si Lei Sen was furious, dispatching many experts to investigate;

However, in the remote wilderness those experts fled after completing the mission; even if the Four Beast Clan were powerful, they could not trace them, and among the slaughtered Metallic Lifeform there were some who still had other Divine Avatars, but describing them proved useless—either they were unknown masters or the opponent used a false appearance;

Everything is now untraceable unless the Prime God intervenes, but the strongest dead was only a Five‑Star Demon; such a matter doesn't cost the Four Beast Clan much, mainly a humiliation, and the Prime God is even less likely to be summoned.

Without a target, the Four Beast Clan attacked any possible opponent, and in an instant the entire Blood Peak Continent was filled with smoke and chaos.

On the Qingyuan Continent, Shawn, delighted by the news, instantly focused his mind, and several hundred drops of Death Prime God's Power materialized out of thin air, then fell into the hands of a dozen people ahead: "These are your rewards; each Seven-Star Demon who participated in the siege receives ten drops of Prime God's Power as a prize."

The siege in Hell was naturally orchestrated by him using soul‑seeded masters; facing the final target, he will give his all. These people previously had no conflict with the Four Beast Clan, and their appearance on the Blood Peak Continent did not provoke the clan, so the operation succeeded in one go.

"Thank you, Master," one of the leaders said happily.

After being soul‑seeded, they remain like ordinary people in other respects, still desiring strength, treasures, combat enjoyment, etc., and Prime God's Power is a top‑tier treasure in the Divine Plane that almost no one refuses.

Shawn added: "For the coming period there should be no missions; you are free for now, return to the Canglan Plane, and when something arises, I'll call you again."

This interval's tasks aren't difficult, but require secrecy; otherwise, he could act openly without Prime God interference, and it would be settled within a few days.

"Yes, Master," the group replied, then departed.

Shawn exhaled slowly, and with a thought a several‑meter‑wide spatial rift appeared in the middle of the great hall; countless spatial turbulence flickered behind it, and Shawn stepped through in a single stride.

In the vast void, Shawn stood far out on the Qingyuan Material Plane;

"This place has enough surrounding space to create a Divine Plane," Shawn confirmed the location for his future plane creation.

The Prime God can create a Divine Plane based on the information inherent in the Prime God Matrix; this is a privilege granted by the laws of heaven and earth, and even the Seven Divine Planes are co‑created by all Prime Gods of the seven sects;

However, crafting this plane is not for amusement; during its creation one can further comprehend the profound mysteries and aid in breaking through higher realms.

Yet this process requires a Prime God's Avatar to remain present, so before the crisis of the Supreme God's Relic being exposed was resolved, he was not in a hurry to create; it wouldn't matter for a while, and even before that he could cultivate using the endless faith power of the Prime God Matrix;

Now that nothing urgent remains, he can calmly create the Divine Plane.

"Boom—boom—boom~~~~" Waves of gray‑black Death Prime God's Power were gradually extracted from the elemental ocean;

As time passed, the amount of Prime God's Power increased dramatically; countless streams of it turned into rivers, and measured in "drops" it amounted to trillions upon trillions.

Hundreds of years later, the Prime God's Power gathered from the elemental ocean was sufficient.

"Hoo—hoo~~~"

All the Main God's power exploded in an instant; the massive energy blasted the spatial turbulence within tens of thousands of miles, leaving a huge spatial rift that immediately spread outward for billions of miles.

A divine plane gradually formed, and within its space radiated indescribable waves of the Death Rule.

Xiao En was within it, gradually comprehending the surrounding rules; likewise, the profound mystery deep in his soul seemed to show a hint of breakthrough.

A thousand years later, the entire divine plane stabilized, forming two vast continents, oceans, islands, volcanoes, deserts, and so on, yet there were no living beings.

"It feels like I'm just one step away from the great perfection of the Death Rule," Xiao En sighed. "Although I haven't broken through, reaching this point is still good enough."

Previously, his Death Rule alone was only at a typical Asura level, but now it has reached the peak of Asura.

The regularity lacks precise profundity, yet he can still sense that he has hit a bottleneck; having once sparred with many other law‑system masters, he can roughly gauge his own level from their strength.

"It seems I still need to venture into the divine plane again; previously my main battles still involved fused profundity."

Xiao En harbored another speculation.

In his previous numerous battles, he employed the fused profundity of Life and Death; although closely related to the Death Rule, it is not exactly the same.

The final step of the Death Rule itself requires serious study of the Death Rule itself; there is no other method.

"The probability of achieving a double great perfection is indeed almost impossible, but it must be tried," Xiao En decided.

Now, his way to strengthen is to break through the great perfection and refine other Main God essences; however, without a reason to casually slay lower‑rank Main Gods, he would face a siege by the Four Great Rule Rulers, so this matter must be handled with extreme caution.

Either he must kill without the gods noticing, or he must have sufficient justification.

Another method is to obtain a supreme artifact; if he acquires a supreme artifact that provides physical defense, even if he violates the Main God pact by killing a middle‑rank Main God, the Four Great Rule Rulers would find it hard to kill him.

Netherworld, within Yinming Mountain;

While in seclusion, Xiao En suddenly sensed a soul‑seeded person below summon him; his figure flashed and appeared at the foot of the mountain: "What is it?"

"Sir, the information you asked us to investigate has been found," a subordinate reported.

Xiao En's eyes flickered, and he nodded: "Fine, you go down first."

"Understood." The visitor quickly took his leave.

After pondering briefly, Xiao En rose and headed to the Yinming Hotel, approached the Fishing Girl, and, using his willpower, locked the surrounding space, bowing and saying, "Ruler, I need to leave."

"Only a few ten‑thousand years, and you're ready to go?" the Death Ruler laughed.

Xiao En laughed: "Ruler, I'm only a little over a hundred million years old—ten thousand years is not insignificant, and I truly have business; once it's done, I'll return."

In the Panlong Universe, countless ancient monsters have lived for unfathomable trillions of years; even a soldier of a Main God army or an ordinary citizen of a city can possess a lifespan that makes the neighboring 'Great Emperor' weep with envy, rendering time meaningless to the beings here.

By comparison, Xiao En, with a lifespan of over a hundred million years, is indeed rather young.

"Ha ha, you're only a hundred million years old and already at great perfection; just thinking of that makes me admire you," the Death Ruler waved his hand and laughed, "Then go attend to your affairs; don't worry about me—I rarely interfere with a messenger's matters."

"As for whether you return later, it's up to you—come if you wish, stay away if you prefer; enjoying life elsewhere is fine, staying by my side would probably still be uncomfortable, right?"

"The Ruler is joking," Xiao En replied awkwardly.

Living beside a powerful being who can decide one's life or death at any moment, no matter how good the relationship, is somewhat uncomfortable.

In fact, he previously needed his own 'Great Perfection' divine avatar to stay by the Death Ruler's side; this way, if anyone discovered his manipulation of the Four Beast Clan, he would have a perfect alibi.

Nevertheless, everything progressed smoothly, except that the Four Beast Clan is now besieged by multiple families; after Xiao En finished his business, he simply watched the drama with peace of mind.

A few months later, on the Yinming Continent at Hongyang Prefecture—still Xiao En's domain—he did not relinquish his position as city lord after achieving great perfection.

"Sir, this is the person you were looking for,"

Inside a castle outside Hongyang Prefecture, a middle‑rank God was brought before Xiao En.
