Panlong: Transcending from the Dominator of the Water System

Chapter 107 The Deal with Utrecht, The Battle Amidst Spatial Turbulence
It was no secret that Uther had plotted against the Four Divine Beasts and sought their blood essence; he had never intended to hide it, especially after the deaths of Redding and the other three.

Utherd's research into the Four Divine Beasts' ultimate techniques required their essence blood, a fact known to the other rulers. Because of this, Utherd hinted at it to Hope more than once, but Hope never responded.

Utrede had considered changing his target to Baruch and the other three, but after thinking it over, he gave up. Firstly, the blood essence of the four divine beast gods was different from that of the higher gods, and Utrede wanted the blood essence of Redding and the other three more.

Secondly, Baruch and his three companions spend most of their time in the Qingya plane. Even when they occasionally go to the God plane, they are accompanied by one of Ninisha, Parhouse, or Byer. If they discover a problem, they can escape back to the material plane immediately. It would be almost impossible for Utrecht to bypass Hope and take their essence blood.

Therefore, Utrede ultimately decided to have a serious talk with Hope. This time, Utrede came to the Qingya Plane with a determination to succeed.

In the past, Utred wouldn't have been sure if Hope would have been willing to make a deal with him. After all, Utred's strength would have increased after developing a new technique, which would have been detrimental to the balance between the four Rulers and the five people including Hope.

Although Utrecht found this so-called balance rather boring, he never paid any attention to anyone other than Ouf.

However, now that the Death Sovereign has broken through to the Great Perfection, Utredder has to pay more attention. Similarly, the original "Three Weakmen Alliance" of Hope, the Death Sovereign, and the Life Sovereign has also changed to some extent. Utredder believes that Hope will agree this time.

"I do have some of the essence blood of the four divine beast gods, but I can only give you a maximum of sixty drops of each."

Hope asked, a hint of blue light flashing in her eyes. She didn't refuse, but instead asked for the quantity.

"Sixty drops? That's a bit low, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Utrecht frowned, somewhat dissatisfied with the quantity.

"I've already used up most of my resources to give birth to Baruch and the other three, and this is all I have left."

Hope spoke calmly, knowing that although he still had about a hundred drops of the essence blood of each of the four divine beasts, he couldn't possibly give them all away.

"The essence of all four of them..."

Utrecht frowned slightly, a questioning look appearing in his eyes hidden beneath his black robe.

If Baruch and the other three were to refine the divine essence and become gods, they would naturally not lack the essence and blood of the four divine beast gods.

"What? You want the lifeblood of Baruch and the other three?"

Hope raised an eyebrow. The essence blood of a superior god is different from that of a main god. However, he does not plan to make Baruch and the other three main gods for the time being, so he will not have more essence blood of a main god.

"Fine, sixty drops it is. So, what do you hope to get from me?"

Utrecht remained silent for a while before finally asking, "Although the quantity is less than I expected, if I save some time and spend a little more, it will be barely enough."

"The only thing you have that can interest me is the principle behind your signature move."

Hope looked directly into Utrecht's eyes, making no attempt to conceal her intentions.

"You should know that this is impossible. If I gave you the principle behind the ultimate move, you could use it just as well."

Utrecht's brows furrowed beneath his black robe, and he coldly refused.

The technique of temporal distortion is the culmination of countless years of Utrecht's efforts, and he is certainly not willing to hand it over easily. If it were someone else, he would hesitate, since using this technique requires the essence of the four divine beasts.

However, Hope must have kept a portion of the Four Divine Beasts' essence blood. Utrecht did not believe Hope's claim that he would give him all the remaining essence blood. Moreover, if Hope really gave him all of Redding's essence blood, Hope could also give the main godhood to Baruch and the other three to refine, thus obtaining new essence blood of the Four Divine Beasts' main gods.

"You should also know that, apart from the principles of your ultimate techniques, you have nothing worth exchanging the essence of the Four Divine Beasts for with you."

Hope did not back down, naturally looking directly into Utrecht's eyes, her tone carrying a hint of assertiveness.

"I can give you the principle behind the ultimate move, but you must swear an oath to the Supreme God that you cannot use the blood essence of the Four Divine Beasts to perform this move, nor can you tell anyone else. This is my bottom line. As for you using its principles to research your own ultimate move, that is your freedom."

Utrecht paused for a moment, then finally proposed a compromise, which was actually something he had thought of before coming.

Utredder knew that Hope also enjoyed studying various talents, special moves, and unique methods, especially since Hope had recently collected quite a few people with mutated souls. Therefore, Utredder was certain that Hope's bottom line was to obtain the principle of spacetime distortion in order to try and perfect his own special moves. "Alright, then, the deal is done."

Hope agreed immediately after a moment's thought. The technique of time-space distortion was a trump card that Utrecht had been researching for many years, and it was even used in part in Orf's transcendent reincarnation.

Hope believes this approach will further advance her research. As for whether she can find a way to transcend it, Hope doesn't know; she can only do her best.

The Lord of Destruction arrived quickly and left just as fast. After reaching an agreement, he took away the essence and blood of the four divine beasts.

One hundred thousand years later...

"Om~~"

Utrede descended upon the Qingya plane once again, and even though his body was hidden under a black robe, his joy was evident.

"This is the whole principle behind this move."

As Utrecht spoke, he telepathically explained the entire spacetime distortion to Hope.

"Oh? Is that so!"

Hope listened carefully to the explanation, and soon showed a look of shock, before nodding in satisfaction.

"Don't forget what you promised me. Also, ten thousand years from now, remember to come to the depths of the spatial turbulence to witness my battle with Orf."

Utrecht didn't linger. He simply explained the spacetime distortion, left a message, and departed. He needed time to solidify and familiarize himself with this move. Afterward, he would challenge Orf to a duel, defeat Orf, and become the number one god.

"So he really challenged Of? Utrecht only has Of in his eyes. But at this moment, Of doesn't have the supreme artifact of material defense. I wonder what the outcome will be?"

Hope thought for a moment, then shook her head, stopped thinking about it, and took out the magic circle from before, preparing to begin a new study.

For the supreme deity, ten thousand years is but a fleeting moment.

On this day, eleven powerful beings at the Sovereign level were invited by Utrecht to come to the depths of the spatial turbulence.

A turbulent, multicolored current flows everywhere, washing over this space that has remained unchanged for billions of years.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Four figures flew like shooting stars at high speed into the depths of the spatial turbulence, leaving behind unique patterns.

After an unknown amount of time, several figures appeared ahead. The four streaks of light stopped and transformed into four human figures.

"Hope, you're slow."

The pretty red-haired girl, who had been waiting for a long time, glared at Hope, then glanced at Palhaus, Ninisha, and Byr behind Hope.

At the center of the spatial turbulence, Utrecht and Orf faced off across the void, while the other rulers watched from afar, creating an extremely eerie atmosphere.

"I think I'm not late, am I? Aren't they ready to start yet?"

Hope looked at Utrecht and the other person in the distance and spoke solemnly.

"Now that the four of you are here, everyone is here, and they should be getting started soon."

The Lord of Life sighed softly, speaking with a hint of helplessness.

The next moment, as the words of the Lord of Life fell, the Lord of Destruction, located in the center of the battlefield, moved.
