Panlong: Transcending from the Dominator of the Water System

Chapter 55 Hurley's Scheme, Diya's Ideas
Although he desperately wanted to kill Hope immediately, Hurley did not act impulsively. Instead, he first sent Yag to the material plane and then began to make detailed plans.

On the surface, the power of their wills is almost equal, but Hurley is not worried because Hope is the only one among the rulers who does not have any special bloodline. As long as there is no additional power of will, the disadvantages of physical body and innate supernatural abilities are difficult to make up for.

As for Hope killing the Four Divine Beasts, Hurley didn't care. The Four Divine Beasts had never been taken seriously by Hurley. In Hurley's view, the Four Divine Beasts' so-called comparison to the Overlords was actually far from it.

"Although it would be difficult for me to kill Hope with my strength, Hope, as the ruler of the water element, is not fast enough. As long as we fight head-on, I will definitely win in the end, even if it takes more time and effort. Killing him should not be a big problem. However, if Hope does not come out of the material plane, I don't have any good solutions."

Hurley was lost in thought in the sea of ​​thunder, unable to come up with a good solution for the time being.

In Hurley's vision, he wanted to transform his son, Yag, into a new supreme god comparable to the ruler of the rules. He needed three supreme godhoods, one of which had to be a superior supreme godhood. Therefore, he needed to obtain Hope's supreme godhood.

In addition, he possesses a lower-level main godhood of life. All he needs to do is kill another lightning-type main god, give the three main godhoods to Aag to refine, and then Aag will further integrate the profound mysteries through the power of faith, and everything will be completed.

However, since the battle with the Four Divine Beasts, the Water Ruler Hope has mostly stayed in his home material plane, which has made things difficult for Hurley. He had just had a conflict with Hope, and it would be hard for him to lure Hope out.

If the interplanetary war were to begin, Hope would definitely go. However, the Ruler of Rules would also be present at that time. Although their battle would not violate the agreement of the main gods, it would be uncertain whether the other rulers would intervene.

"It seems that I alone am not enough to accomplish this task."

Hurley pondered for a long time before making up his mind. He transformed into a purple streak of light and flew towards the direction of the wind-elemental divine plane.

……

The Wind God Plane, one of the seven great god planes, is a paradise for those who cultivate the profound mysteries of the wind law.

Mount Fengshen is a place where raging blue tornadoes can be seen everywhere. The entire mountain area is made of blue stones. On the mountain peak, in a magnificent light blue palace, a figure with long, fiery golden hair and eyes like an eagle sits quietly on a stone bench.

Living deep within the forbidden zone of Mount Fengshen, the identity of the figure in blue is self-evident: the true ruler of the wind-elemental divine plane, the master of the wind element—Diya!
"Huh? Hurley? What's he doing here?"

Diya raised his blue eyes, a hint of wariness flashing in his eagle-like gaze, and slowly stood up.

"Haha, Diya, it's been a long time!"

Hurley let out a hearty laugh, and then, after flashes of purple lightning, a figure slowly condensed in front of Diya.

"Hulley, what brings you here?"

Diya remained lukewarm towards Hurley, maintaining a certain degree of vigilance, and asked in a deep voice.

Although both are Law Rulers, Diya's strength is considered one of the weaker ones among the Law Rulers. Although Diya has recently made a new breakthrough, he remains vigilant about Hurley's arrival.

In fact, since the establishment of the covenant between the main gods, the relationship between the law-rulers has been constantly changing.

Initially, the four Rulers were high above, and the seven Law Rulers were not afraid of each other. Later, Augusta obtained the Supreme Divine Sword of Destiny and became the first Law Ruler. The other Rulers became much more distant from him.

Afterwards, Hurley obtained a Great Earth Godhead, gaining an additional God avatar and greatly increasing his strength. The other rulers became restless, and the Dark Ruler, the Earth Ruler, the Fire Ruler, and Diya all proposed a certain degree of alliance and mutual assistance.

Although the Water Overlord Hope felt it was unnecessary, he did not refuse. Later, Hope achieved ten consecutive victories in the Plane War, gained more willpower, and his subordinate Palhouse became comparable to other Overlords. The Alliance then kicked Hope out.

Ultimately, of the seven Laws Rulers, the Light Ruler, the Lightning Ruler, and the Water Ruler fought independently, while the other four Rulers formed alliances, and Palhouse served under Hope.

Of course, this so-called alliance is actually very fragile. After all, each ruler has its own trump card. Just like Diya now, although he is wary of Hurley, he is not too worried. He is confident that even if Hurley wants to make a move, he can still get a chance with his new ultimate move. At the very least, the speed of the profound wind law and the divine beast talent can at least make him run away.

"Haha, Diya, don't be so wary. I'm here to ask you for a favor, which isn't necessarily a bad thing for you either."

Hurley chuckled lightly, unconcerned about Diya's attitude, and sat down on his own.

"So, what exactly is it?"

Dia raised an eyebrow slightly, then sat down next to Hurley, took a sip of his tea, and asked, "I'm going to kill Hope!"

Hurley spoke directly, his words surprising, without any attempt to beat around the bush.

"Cough cough..."

Upon hearing this, Diya coughed instinctively, almost thinking he had misheard. He quickly composed himself and squinted at Hurley.

"Hope harmed my son, Aag. Now, Aag has lost his original body and two avatars, leaving only a water-elemental god avatar..."

Hurley briefly recounted the events at the Tomb of the Gods, his tone filled with hatred for Hope.

Diya didn't say anything, but just listened quietly to Hurley finish speaking, and then nodded slightly. He also had a son, so he could understand Hurley's anger. He didn't think Hurley was lying to him either, since this matter was easy to verify.

However, Dia remained silent, waiting for Hurley to continue, since this matter seemed to have nothing to do with him at the moment.

Hurley didn't keep them in suspense any longer and directly stated his purpose: "Ever since Redding and the other three died, Hope has been staying in the material plane. Given my relationship with him, it would be difficult to lure him out. Therefore, I hope you can help me lure him out."

"Shall I lure him out for you?"

Upon hearing this, Diya frowned, somewhat dissatisfied with Hurley's statement.

“That’s right. I hope you can hunt down Palhouse. As long as you fight, Hope will definitely not stand idly by. Lure Hope out through Palhouse. Once Hope leaves the material plane, I am confident that I can deal with him.”

Hurley nodded, a hint of confidence flashing in his eyes. He had full confidence in his abilities.

As a Thunder Giant, his physical body, while not comparable to super-divine beasts like the Death Lord and the Destruction Lord, is still far superior to that of an ordinary life form like Hope.

"But why should I help you? What benefit would it bring me? Besides, Palhaus is not an easy opponent."

Diya snorted coldly, not refusing outright. He believed that Hurley wouldn't let him help for nothing.

Although Palhaus's willpower was no less than his, Diya was not afraid of Palhaus. Although Diya's profound laws were not perfect, he had fused most of the ninth profound law, and the difference between his profound laws and Palhaus's was not significant.

Parhouse's strength, thanks to the extra willpower gained from his ten consecutive victories, is roughly ten times that of an ordinary Five-Fusion Ruler. However, none of the Law Rulers in the God Realm are ordinary Five-Fusion Rulers.

Relying on the profound laws of the Five Fusion Peak, coupled with the amplification of their respective talents, bloodlines, and ultimate moves, each true ruler possesses a comprehensive strength no less than ten times that of an ordinary Five Fusion Ruler. This is the fundamental reason why they are called Rulers, a fact that even a Great Perfection Mid-Level God or a Super Divine Beast Mid-Level God cannot compensate for.

As a Azure-Winged Golden Eagle, Diya's physical body, while not comparable to that of a super divine beast, is still far superior to that of Palhouse. Furthermore, having survived for countless years, Diya possesses its own trump cards and ultimate moves. Therefore, Diya is quite confident in defeating Palhouse. As for killing him, he feels it would be difficult, but there is no need to kill him; he only needs to lure out Hope.

"I only want Hope's water-element superior godhood for my son. The rest of the godhood, Palhouse's mid-level godhood, Redding's and the others' lower-level godhood, the essence blood and corpses of the four divine beasts—all of them are yours. How about it?"

Hurley waved his hand, revealing a magnanimous expression, and then calmly looked at Diya.

"Oh, that's how it is."

Upon hearing this, Diya fell into deep thought for a moment and did not answer immediately.

Hurley's words sound like he's not at a disadvantage. Diya himself has an Earth God clone, which he can directly refine after obtaining the main godhood of the four divine beasts. Parhouse's middle-level main godhood and the other three can be given to suitable subordinates.

Moreover, if Diya obtains the essence blood of the Four Divine Beasts, he can give it to the Lord of Destruction to gain a favor. At least in Diya's view, this favor is still useful, since Augusta's supreme artifact was obtained through a favor from Orph.

"Are you confident you can kill Hope?"

After a long silence, Diya slowly spoke, a blue halo flashing at the end of her long golden hair.
