Panlong: Transcending from the Dominator of the Water System

Chapter 90: The Birth of Lia, the Sister of the Death Sovereign
The Netherworld Island, located in the center of the South China Sea, is shrouded in a massive azure shield, which no life form from the Azure Plane can forcibly break through.

In the heart of the island, beside a vibrant green seedling, sat a pretty red-haired girl. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and looked at the black-haired youth who had fallen to the ground.

"It seems you've made quite a few requests that even the Supreme God couldn't fulfill, given how long it's taken."

The Lord of Death glanced at Hope indifferently, his tone showing no surprise whatsoever, as if he had already guessed that Hope would make some demands to the Supreme God that the other party could not fulfill.

"It seems that you have also made some impossible requests to the supreme god of death."

Upon hearing this, Hope gave Death a deep look and spoke with absolute certainty.

"Of course, I once asked the Supreme God of Death if there was any way for me to leave this world. She told me that life born in this world cannot leave. I also asked if she could help me achieve Great Perfection and give me some power of will, but in the end, I failed."

The Lord of Death revealed a hint of mockery and spoke in a calm tone:
"The supreme gods may seem high above, but in essence, what's the difference between them and puppets?"

Upon hearing the words of the Lord of Death, Hope was taken aback. He really hadn't expected that the Lord of Death would suggest leaving this world to the Supreme God.

"What? You find it unbelievable? Do you think that people like Vivia and me are easygoing and that people like Utrecht and Of would be thinking about becoming stronger and breaking free from this cage of the world?"

The Lord of Death saw through Hope's thoughts at a glance, even though Hope showed no expression.

Hope could only remain silent for a moment. No one knew more about things beyond this world than Hope, the controller of the Hongmeng Space.

Therefore, Hope has never paid much attention to the thoughts of other rulers. After all, he is the one who knows the world beyond the heavens and earth the most. In Hope's memories of Blue Star, it seems that only Auf guessed that there was an invisible person controlling everything outside the heavens and earth, who wanted to break the shackles of the heavens and earth.

However, from another perspective, each ruler has lived for countless years. The four rule rulers have all completed the mission of the supreme god and had close contact with the supreme god. They should have more or less guesses about the world outside this world and the invisible hand.

So, what are your thoughts on this land?

Hope paused for a moment, then asked, also wanting to know what this world was like from the perspective of other rulers.

"Oh? You're asking about my opinion on this world? In essence, it's not much different from the material plane, is it?"

The Lord of Death revealed a rather carefree smile and spoke in a relaxed tone:
"When I traveled through the material plane, I witnessed the lives of many mortals. After they became dead, I also examined their memories and compared their experiences to those of others, and that's roughly it."

"As weak humans, we don't know what's outside the town where we live. After leaving the town, we don't know what's outside the kingdom. Later, we wonder what's outside the continent, outside the material plane, outside the divine plane? And so on. Perhaps, there is an even greater world beyond the world we live in, where there is a powerful being. In his eyes, the supreme god is no different from a god."

A flicker of red light, tinged with a hint of wistfulness, flashed in the eyes of the Lord of Death. He then turned to Hope, a half-smile playing on his lips, and asked:

"So, how do you view this world?"

After hearing the Death Lord's words, Hope suppressed her surprise, glanced at the Death Lord, and then slowly spoke:
"My view of heaven and earth is similar to yours, except that I'm thinking about how to break through heaven and earth."

"Oh? You want to shatter the heavens and earth? Aren't you afraid that beyond the heavens lies destruction?"

The Lord of Death was slightly taken aback, and asked with a puzzled look.

In the eyes of the Lord of Death, this world, though it bound them, also protected them. If they were to break through this world, who knew what lay beyond? Would it be a new world or destruction? Just as a high-ranking god broke through space and entered the spatial turbulence, only to be torn apart by it, could a main god survive entering a new world?

Hope could only remain silent. He had his own ideas about the Primordial Chaos Space, and wanted to break through the world by becoming its controller. In this respect, he was not as pure as Auf.

That madman, Auf, is obsessed with using material attacks to break the heavens and earth. Even if the result is destruction, he would probably rush out without hesitation. He just wants to escape this cage.

"Alright, let's leave this topic at that. Everything we've said is just speculation."

Hope shook his head and sat cross-legged not far from the Lord of Death.

"Hmm? You actually switched to a supreme artifact for soul defense? Could it be that you're planning to exchange your life essence with Utred?"

The Lord of Death's gaze fell on the ring in Hope's hand, his expression changed slightly, and he realized something.

Judging from Hope's bloodline, the supreme artifact for material defense is more cost-effective. The only reason for choosing the supreme artifact for soul defense can only be to guard against Utrecht, which means that he is preparing to trade away his essence blood.

“That’s right, my research has hit a bottleneck. I want to obtain the principle behind Utred’s ultimate move.” Hope made no attempt to hide anything and looked directly into the eyes of the Lord of Death.

"Fine, but you have to promise me that you'll at least wait until I break through to the Great Perfection before you make a deal with Utrecht."

The Lord of Death and Hope stared at each other for a while, and finally sighed helplessly.

Since Hope has made up her mind, then the Death Ruler must at least ensure that she breaks through to the Great Perfection first. The Death Ruler is good at dealing with souls, and with the soul defense of the super divine beast Nether Flower, she may not be unable to clash with Utred's ultimate move.

"No problem, I'll wait for you to break through to the Great Perfection."

Upon hearing this, Hope nodded slightly. The Lord of Death frowned slightly, then said no more and continued to sit quietly on the Netherworld Island.

……

Millions of years have passed in the blink of an eye. The Qingya Plane has undergone another transformation. Whether it is the Qingya Continent or the Divine Beast Continent, the empires of ordinary humans have changed time and time again.

Among them are some powerful beings who are interested in the giant water shield outside the South China Sea, but no one has been able to break through it for countless years.

On Youming Island, layers of pale red and emerald green mist intertwine, creating a unique sight when viewed from above.

At the center of the island, a colossal plant over ten thousand meters tall stands, radiating an unparalleled and powerful aura.

This is a special flower. Its trunk is entirely reddish-brown, and in addition to the main trunk, numerous branches spread out everywhere, each branch adorned with tiny green specks.

At the highest point of the main trunk, a hundred-meter-tall flower floats, its center tinged with pale red. The rose-red petals are adorned with dark red, emerald green, aquamarine, and gold, creating a magnificent, multicolored spectacle.

"Om~~"

As the sky trembled, the laws of heaven and earth descended. At this moment, the ten-thousand-meter-long Netherworld Flower slowly rose into the air, and a divine spark slowly condensed above its head.

"I have finally waited for this day."

The Lord of Death slowly opened his eyes, looked at the Netherworld Flower high in the sky, and murmured softly.

After a while, the giant Netherworld Flower figure disappeared, and a short-haired girl in a red robe slowly took shape before landing on the ground.

The girl opened her eyes and looked at the two people in front of her with a curious expression.

The Netherworld Flower is a super divine beast that became a god at birth. Although it has a Saint Realm body, it has never truly been a Saint Realm. Before becoming a god, the girl could only be considered to have a little bit of instinct and intelligence. At this moment, she can be considered to have been truly born.

The girl had the same red hair as the Death Lord, but much shorter. A look of confusion appeared in her eyes, and then she suddenly sniffed, as if she sensed a familiar scent.

"Da da da!"

The girl stood up abruptly, quickly taking small, quick steps to reach the Lord of Death, grabbing his hand and gently placing it on her head.

"elder sister!"

The girl's clear voice rang out as she smiled at the Lord of Death, looking rather adorable.

"Sister? That's good. Little one, what's your name?"

A look of loving kindness instantly appeared on the face of the Lord of Death, and he gently patted the girl's head.

"name?"

The girl repeated the sentence softly, seemingly pondering what her name should be. After a while, she smiled and spoke:
"Leah!"
