Panlong: Transcending from the Dominator of the Water System

Chapter 37 The Thoughts of the Main Gods, Returning to the Qingya Plane

After hearing the words of the Lord of Death, the Lord of Destruction fell silent and did not speak further.

At this moment, Utrecht's figure was hidden under his black robe, making it impossible to see his expression. However, those who knew him well knew that he was not in a good mood at this moment.

The four divine beasts have always been regarded as the private property of the Lord of Destruction. The reason why they have not been killed so far is more out of consideration for sustainable use.

The essence blood of the fallen Four Divine Beasts can only be extracted from their bodies, and the quantity is limited; every drop used is one less drop available. However, the living Four Divine Beasts can periodically extract one or two drops of essence blood, which then recover over a long period of time.

The current research of the Destruction Overlord does not require a large investment of his life essence. In addition, he has some reservations about the ideas of the other three major Rule Overlords, so he does not plan to touch the Four Divine Beasts for the time being.

What he didn't expect was that, in the blink of an eye, the four divine beasts had fallen into Hope's hands, which made him feel somewhat complicated.

"Shh! Shh! Shh!"

After the arrival of the four Rulers, streaks of light flashed across the sky, and the other Rulers descended one after another. Parhouse followed the Fire Ruler Meg, and after landing together, he stood directly behind Hope, which was a way of showing his stance. At this point, all twelve Ruler-level powerhouses from the God Plane had arrived.

"Everyone, this matter has been communicated to all the main gods. Next, we need to hold a meeting of the main gods to discuss it."

The Lord of Death spoke first, his voice not loud, but containing an undeniable pressure.

None of the many rulers objected, and with a casual wave of his hand, a huge metallic life form appeared, and the gate slowly opened.

Soon, the other main gods descended one after another. The water-type main gods, who were closest, entered the metal lifeform first and followed Parhouse silently. Then, all the other main gods descended one by one. After all the main gods had arrived, the metal lifeform slowly rose into the air and began to move forward.

"Alright, everyone's here. Let me briefly explain what happened."

Auf spoke first, revealing a warm smile, and then with a wave of his right hand, a round table and seventy seats rose up at the same time.

"Everyone, the reason for this meeting of the main gods is that the four divine beasts came to the water-type divine plane to fight against the water-type ruler Hope."

Ouf stroked his white beard and spoke in a gentle tone, dropping a bombshell first.

As soon as Auf finished speaking, the gods below exploded instantly. Apart from the water gods who already knew, the other gods looked at each other with strange expressions. Some were shocked, some were afraid, and some were gloating.

Only the Purple Thorn God felt a pang of anxiety. He glanced at the Water Element Sovereign sitting above and immediately realized that the four of them, including Leding, were likely doomed. He sighed inwardly.

"Hope, although everyone already has guesses, can you explain that the main godhood and corpses of Redding and the other three are already in your hands?"

Utrecht spoke in a somber tone, his tone revealing neither joy nor anger.

“That’s right, the main godhood and essence blood of Redding and the others are now in my hands.”

Hope nodded slightly, unconcerned about Utrecht's question, as it was to be expected.

“Utred, Redding and the others are considered the chief gods of your Hell, but the fact that the four of them attacked Hope and were killed in retaliation does not violate the agreement of the chief gods. Their blood essence and chief godhood are naturally considered Hope’s spoils of war.”

The Lord of Death gently gathered his long red hair and spoke with a hint of schadenfreude.

“I understand. This is the result of the actions of Redding and the other three. I was just asking if Hope would be willing to trade his blood essence with me, so I can consider it a favor I owe him.”

Utrecht frowned slightly, but continued speaking.

He was determined to obtain the essence blood of the Four Divine Beasts. Now that the essence blood was in Hope's hands, he needed to think about how to get his hands on it.

"I don't plan to trade for the time being. I'm also interested in the essence blood of the Four Divine Beasts. Maybe I'll consider trading after studying it for a while."

Hope shook her head and spoke vaguely, neither refusing outright nor agreeing.

Utrecht glanced at Hope, nodded, and said nothing more.

"Hope, you absolutely must not give the essence blood of the Four Divine Beasts to Utrecht. If he tries to take it, you can come to me and Vivia." Upon seeing this, the Death Sovereign directly transmitted her voice to Hope. In her opinion, it would be better for the essence blood to remain in Hope's hands.

"Don't worry, I know."

Hope did not object. Naturally, he would not give his essence blood to the Destruction Lord. As for the Destruction Lord's favor, it was meaningless to Hope.

With Hope's strength, the only ones who could possibly kill him now are the four Rulers. The favor of the Destruction Ruler is of no use to him. He is not Beirut. Beirut was hunted down by the Light Ruler and needed the protection of the Destruction Ruler, which is why he directly handed over half of his essence blood.

For Hope, holding the essence of the four divine beasts would suppress the temporal distortion of the Destruction Ruler, and the temporal distortion would temporarily prevent Of from perfecting and transcending reincarnation, thus maintaining the balance of the four rule rulers. At least for now, he did not intend to trade it away.

Originally, the Death Sovereign, being a non-perfect being, and the Life Sovereign, not being a super divine beast, were already somewhat inferior to the Destruction Sovereign and the Death Sovereign. If the Destruction Sovereign were further strengthened, the situation would become somewhat out of control.

"Alright, Utrecht, if you want to trade blood essence, you can go to Hope privately later. This time we need to discuss the fall of Redding and the other three."

Auf spoke with a smile, then looked at the other main gods and said loudly:
"The four members of the group, including Redding, provoked the Water Elemental Master and were killed because they deserved it. I believe that Hope did not violate the agreement of the main god."

"I have no opinion!"

The Lord of Death shrugged and spoke nonchalantly.

"agree!"

Utrecht nodded, making no further comment on the matter.

"Then this matter ends here. Everyone may disperse. At the same time, I would like to remind everyone that although the agreement of the main gods is to protect ordinary main gods, it does not mean that ordinary main gods can provoke the ruler. Please remember this."

The Lord of Life stood up, his tone now carrying a hint of domineering authority, and surveyed all the main gods present.

Many of the main gods rose, bowed, and agreed. Then they left one after another, returning to their own small groups to discuss the matter.

Pash, the chief god of Blood Peak, followed beside the chief god of Purple Thorn, offering a few words of comfort before they flew together toward Hell.

"Hope, you can come and visit my floating continent sometimes."

Ouf smiled and said goodbye to Hope, then pulled Augusta away.

"Hope, what I just said still stands. Or if there's anything else you want, as long as it's within my power, we can talk about it."

After Utrecht finished speaking, he transformed into a black streak of light and sped away.

"Hope, remember what I said. If you have any questions, you can come to me anytime."

The Lord of Death spoke softly, then pulled the Lord of Life along as they flew toward the horizon.

"Alright, you guys can go back now. I'm going to be away for a while."

Hope glanced at the remaining water-based gods, gave Palhaus a few instructions, and then transformed into a blue beam of light and disappeared into the horizon.

Above the spatial teleportation array, as the water-based light descended, Hope's figure was concealed within the halo of light. He flipped his hand and took out a blue God's Token, speaking as follows:
"Qingya Dimension!"

Regarding the claim that a Great Perfection Sovereign is a hundred times stronger than a Five-Fold Fusion Sovereign, this calculation has some issues. If a Great Perfection Sovereign is a hundred times stronger than a non-Great Perfection Sovereign, then the Destruction Sovereign should be a hundred times stronger than the Death Sovereign. Both of them are Sovereigns, Super Divine Beasts, Supreme Artifacts, and Physical Attack Supreme Artifacts. The only difference is that the former is Great Perfection.

However, if the Destruction Sovereign is a hundred times stronger than the Death Sovereign, the difference is too great. The Destruction Sovereign could easily kill the Death Sovereign, and the Death Sovereign is not worthy of being ranked alongside the Destruction Sovereign. However, in the original work, the Destruction Sovereign surpassed her only after researching the spacetime distortion. It is unreasonable to assume that the Destruction Sovereign is a hundred times stronger than the Death Sovereign. Therefore, in this book's setting, the Death Sovereign is only one step away from the Great Perfection, and the profound mysteries of both sides are almost the same. The Destruction Sovereign's strength is one more Great Perfection will power than the Death Sovereign, so it can only be considered ten times stronger than the Death Sovereign. In this way, the four rule sovereigns are reasonably balanced.

The original work never mentions that the Heart of the Underworld increases combat power. It is also unreasonable that only the Underworld among the four supreme planes increases strength, so this is not adopted. The Death Sovereign never said that she and the Life Sovereign had a joint innate divine power. She only said that their fate was unknown when they joined forces. Moreover, the Life Sovereign is not a super divine beast, so it is unreasonable for her to have a joint innate divine power.

Based on this, in this book's setting, both those who have just entered the Fifth Fusion stage and those who are only one step away from the Great Perfection stage are considered to be at the Fifth Fusion stage. Most veteran rulers are at the peak of the Fifth Fusion stage. There is not a hundredfold difference between non-Great Perfection rulers and Great Perfection rulers. In addition, the divine beast bloodlines of veteran rulers enhance their physical bodies to some extent. Therefore, Parhouse's strength is comparable to that of other rulers and does not reach the level of Hurley.
