Panlong: Transcending from the Dominator of the Water System

Chapter 5: Reading's Decisiveness, the Four Divine Beasts' Scheme
"This, this is..."

The White Tiger God Lius saw the words on the paper clearly, stood up instantly, and a strong aura burst from his body, causing his whole body to tremble slightly.

"The mission to destroy the supreme god!"

The Azure Dragon God Redding caught the golden soul essence, then held the gray Supreme God Mirror of Destruction, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"That's great, big brother, we..."

Even the usually composed Xuanwu God Bowen was overjoyed, eager to rush out and find the other two tokens.

"clam down!"

The Azure Dragon God, Redding, took a deep breath to calm himself down and solemnly interrupted his younger siblings' excitement.

“Listen carefully, we must be very careful about this matter. In the past, when we were fighting for the tokens of the supreme god, there were instances of gods falling.”

After a moment of silence, the Azure Dragon God Redding slowly spoke, his eyes turning cold.

"Brother, what should we do? Should we go out and search for them ourselves now?"

The White Tiger God Lius was the first to recover from his excitement and looked at Redding, speaking first.

"No, if we personally go out to search, it will easily attract the attention of other gods. If we attract the attention of the Ruler of Rules, we will be in great danger."

The Azure Dragon God shook his head vigorously, rejecting Lius's proposal.

Although the four rulers of the rules all possess supreme artifacts, it doesn't mean they don't want one more. If the four of them find out about the mission of the supreme god, they might take action against the four divine beasts. There is no room for carelessness in this matter.

"Then, elder brother, what should we do? Should we send our clansmen to search for them? Wouldn't our Four Divine Beasts clan's large-scale collection of rare treasures attract the attention of various factions in the divine plane?"

The voice of the Vermilion Bird God Nemo carried a hint of worry, and a similar worry appeared between his pale red brows.

The supreme divine token is a special celestial object, possibly existing in the divine plane, the material plane, or even in spatial turbulence; finding it is by no means easy.

In particular, since the main god's true body cannot enter many material planes, and the projected clones need to be near the material planes to enter, the best solution is to send family members to search for them.

However, although their four divine beast families have influence throughout the divine plane, they are also under the watchful eyes of all parties. It would be difficult to hide any actions they take, and they would be in a very passive position if they attracted the attention of other rulers.

"Searching for the token of the supreme god..."

Reading muttered something softly, then closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

Generally speaking, it's not unusual for the main god family to assign people to collect rare and wondrous items from heaven and earth.

After all, the lifespan of the main god is infinite, and the rare treasures of heaven and earth are special items in the world. A few of them may even enhance the power of the main god. Whether from the perspective of simple curiosity or from the perspective of improving power, it is normal for the main god to collect rare treasures of heaven and earth.

However, if they suddenly send their family members to collect something like the Five-Colored Blood Crystal and the Eternal Iron Black Sword at this time, the intention would be too obvious and would easily arouse suspicion.

"Tell the four of them, including Gasleysen, to have their people intensify their efforts to collect all sorts of rare and wondrous items. As for the other gods' thoughts, announce to the outside world that after gaining an additional power of will, I have found a direction that may improve our ultimate technique and need rare and wondrous items that may enhance our soul or bloodline!"

After a long while, the Azure Dragon God Redding suddenly opened his eyes and spoke in a firm tone.

They definitely need to collect the supreme god's tokens, but if the four of them collect rare treasures of heaven and earth, whether they do it themselves or send their family members, it will easily attract the attention of other main gods. Therefore, the best way is to find a reason that has nothing to do with the supreme god.

Because the Water God Realm achieved ten consecutive victories in the interdimensional war, Ledin gained an extra measure of willpower and had a new understanding of the four people's combined ultimate move. In order to perfect the ultimate move, he needed to collect rare and wonderful objects from heaven and earth that could enhance the soul, so it was reasonable for him to fabricate such a reason.

"That's one reason, but brother, will the other gods believe it?"

Bowen, the main god of Xuanwu, paused for a moment before speaking first. Although using the power of the ten-game winning streak of the water-based divine plane as a pretext to claim that they had found a possible direction for breaking through their ultimate technique and needed special rare treasures of heaven and earth to help them was a plausible reason on the surface, the connection between perfecting the ultimate technique and needing rare treasures of heaven and earth was still not quite there.

"Of course, that's not enough. To convince the other gods, we need to do something a little 'crazy'. Later, we'll go to the Purple Crystal Mountains to find Zijing and ask for a Soul Stone!"

A hint of reluctance flashed in the eyes of the Azure Dragon God, Redding, but it was quickly replaced by determination.

"This? Brother, the Soul Stone is Zijing's natal item, this..."

Nemo, the chief god of the Vermilion Bird, was stunned for a moment. Even if they had a good relationship with the chief god of the Purple Thorn, this request was too much, and they had nothing of equal value to offer in exchange.

Soulstones are special items that only the Purple Crystal Divine Beast can nurture. It takes countless years to nurture just one. Since the beginning of time, Zijing has only completed one, which she gave to Leisijing. The Soulstone currently being nurtured will take a very long time. If it is forcibly taken out now, it will cause her great harm.

The only things they can be considered precious are their strength and their life essence. Although their life essence is valuable, Zijing doesn't need it.

If it were the beginning of time, their strength would have been enough to protect Zijing, but now that the agreement between the main gods has been established, Zijing, as a subordinate of the Lord of Destruction, no longer needs their protection.

At least Nemo, the chief god of the Vermilion Bird, felt that if they did that, the only chief god of the Purple Thorn, with whom they had a relatively good relationship, might fall out with them.

"Not only that, we also need to go to the Lord of Destruction and exchange our three drops of blood essence for the blood essence of the divine beast Wu Kun."

The Azure Dragon God's eyes were filled with determination, and he spoke decisively: "In short, by exchanging treasures and essence blood with other gods, we made everyone believe that we had found the direction to break through the ultimate technique and were desperately trying to perfect it, even falling out with the Purple Thorn and making a deal with the Destruction Lord, in order to cover up our true purpose of the Supreme God's token."

If asking the Purple Thorn God for the Soul Stone shocked the other three, then asking the Destruction Lord for the Black Kun's essence blood left them dumbfounded.

The Lord of Destruction had visited the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountains more than once, subtly inquiring whether they could give him a few drops of essence blood. Redding refused several times, but since the four divine beasts lived in Hell, refusing the Lord of Destruction all the time was not a solution. In the end, he gave him one drop of each of the four kinds of essence blood.

Since then, the Lord of Destruction hasn't contacted them for a long time, but now, he's actually taking the initiative to come to their door for a deal.

After the Azure Dragon God finished speaking, the other three fell silent, beginning to consider the feasibility of Reading's method.

Reading's method was actually not complicated. Through some "crazy" actions, even at the cost of falling out with his friend Zijing and making a deal with the Lord of Destruction, he made the other gods believe that they were collecting rare treasures of heaven and earth to perfect their so-called new ultimate move, thereby covering up the mission of the Supreme God.

Although this also carries risks, as long as the mission of the Supreme God can be concealed, the possibility of the Ruler of the Rules taking action against them will be greatly reduced.

The Destruction Lord, in particular, who most wanted to study their ultimate techniques, would fall into a long period of silence to study them once he obtained a few drops of their essence blood, and would be even less likely to notice the Supreme God's mission.

If successful, they can obtain a supreme artifact for material defense. Next, as long as they kill the Lord of Light according to plan, they can obtain a supreme artifact for attack. By handing these over to their clansmen who cultivate the Law of Light, they can instantly become the strongest Lord of the Law of Light belonging to the Four Divine Beasts Clan, possessing two supreme artifacts.

By then, the five of them together—one possessing the supreme artifacts of attack and defense, and the other the supreme artifacts of material defense—along with the soul attacks and binding abilities contained in the innate divine powers of their four divine beasts, would have the initial confidence to face the Ruler of Rules. Even if they were still no match for the Ruler of Destruction and the Ruler of Fate, at least they would be able to escape.

"Brother, let's get started."

After a long while, the White Tiger God Lius was the first to speak, standing firmly beside the Azure Dragon Redding.

"Although it's inevitable that we'll become enemies with Zijing, brother, I support you!"

Nemo, the chief god of the Vermilion Bird, was the second to speak. His expression showed a hint of reluctance, but his determination remained unwavering.

Bowen, the chief god of Xuanwu, didn't say much, but looked at Redding with a firm expression, expressing his attitude.

"Alright, let's get started!"

A hint of emotion flashed in the eyes of the Azure Dragon God, Redding, before he spoke resolutely.
