Panlong: Transcending from the Dominator of the Water System

Chapter 91 Liya's Growth, the Power of the Nether Flower
"Lia?"

After repeating himself, the Death Lord took Liya's fair hand in his other hand, feeling the connection of blood, and his smile grew even wider.

"Speaking of which, what's the story behind her name? Do mythical beasts come with names at birth?"

Watching this heartwarming scene, Hope asked her question with some confusion.

Although Hope had known Utred, Thanatos, Bauhinia, and Redding for many years, she didn't know how they got their names. Previously, Hope had always thought that they didn't have names at first and that they gave them names later. Hope herself had chosen the names of the new four divine beasts.

However, given Leah's current state, it seemed as if she was born with her own name, which made Hope a little curious.

"Most super divine beasts are born naturally from heaven and earth. During this birth process, although they do not develop intelligence, they come into contact with their surroundings and then form a name based on their instincts. Finally, the divine beast will take this name as its name. Of course, Reis Crystal and the new four divine beasts are exceptions."

The Lord of Death didn't even glance at Hope, continuing to sized up Lia before casually replying.

"I see, huh?"

Hope nodded slightly, then noticed that, without her noticing, the girl Leah had been looking at her with her big eyes full of curiosity.

"Lia, just call this guy Hope."

The Lord of Death glanced between Hope and Leah before slowly speaking.

"Brother Hope!"

Lia smiled slightly, looked at Hope and spoke softly, a hint of liveliness flashing in her big eyes.

Hope nodded slightly, raised his right hand and reached out towards Leah's head, but before he could touch the girl's head, he was slapped down by the Lord of Death.

"Hey?"

Hope was slightly taken aback, then met the warning look in Death's eyes, as if to say, "Don't touch my sister," and shook her head helplessly.

……

A century later, the graveyard of the gods.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The golden desert stretched for thousands of miles, and the scorching heat permeated the entire space. A girl with short red hair floated in the air with a serious expression, watching the ground warily.

The girl was wearing a long red robe. Seemingly affected by the intense heat, her face was covered in sweat, and her brows were filled with anxiety.

"Shh!"

A huge, dark green vine suddenly pierced through the sand and instantly wrapped around the girl.

"Got you!"

The anxiety on the girl's face vanished instantly, replaced by a playful expression. She gripped the vines tightly with both hands, and her figure suddenly transformed into a streak of crimson light, soaring into the sky.

"what!!!"

With a scream, the creature that had been hiding in the desert revealed its true form.

This is a reptile with a completely blackish-green lower body, bulging muscles on its two legs that emit a black, eerie light, and an upper body that resembles a human. Its blood-red pupils conceal white patterns, and what was just grabbed was its tail.

This is a race that lives in the desert, the Blood Demon Lizardmen. Their upper bodies are human, and their physical characteristics will not change even after they become gods. Because of their special attributes, Parhouse placed them in the Graveyard of the Gods.

The Blood Demon Tin People are a bloodthirsty race that prefers to live in the desert. They mainly cultivate the rules of death and the laws of fire, and they love to drink blood. Even after breaking through to the intermediate god level, they will not deliberately change their habits.

"Tch, I miscalculated. This girl is incredibly strong!"

A flicker of panic crossed the Blood Demon Tin Man's mind, and a fierce glint appeared in his turbid eyes. Then, the tail that Lia had grabbed suddenly extended and wrapped around Lia's body.

As the guardian of the Tomb of the Gods, the Blood Demon Tin Man has faced thousands of intruders, each time leaving with a hearty meal and a bloody retreat. Relying on his talent and the desert environment, he has always been invincible.

However, this time, he seemed to have kicked a hornet's nest. He was suddenly pulled out of the desert by a seemingly weak little girl with surprisingly great strength.

"You're strong, but I'm not bad either. However, how long can your frail body hold out? Take this!"

A ferocious smile appeared on the Blood Demon Tin Man's face. His tail suddenly tightened, and a tremendous pressure surged onto Lia. He couldn't wait to see the girl being torn to pieces.

However, the next moment, the Blood Demon Tin Man's eyes widened, and his gray-white pupils almost popped out.

What came into view was the girl's slightly mocking expression, as if she were ridiculing his ignorance. He had thought his powerful strength had been reduced, and he hadn't caused the girl any harm.

"Your attack is far from enough to harm my body!" Lia chuckled, then suddenly exerted force with both hands, and her body began to spin rapidly like a top.

"Om~~"

Before the Blood Demon Tin Man could say anything, he felt a gust of wind blow into his stomach, and then his whole body was whipped around like a whip.

A crimson glow emanated from the girl's fair hands, gradually flowing into the Blood Demon Tin Man's body through his tail.

"Chichi~~"

Soon, cracking sounds came from the Blood Demon Tin Man's body, and then his eyes lost their luster, leaving only two mid-level godhoods.

"Whoosh!"

Just as Lia successfully destroyed the Blood Demon Tin Man, a stream of light flashed in the space. When Lia came to her senses, she was already in a familiar room.

"Sister, I won!"

Lia quickly scanned the room, spotted a familiar figure, and shuffled over to the Lord of Death with small, quick steps.

"Hmm, Lia did a great job!"

The Lord of Death skillfully patted Lia's head and praised her gently.

Although killing a Blood Demon Tin Man was not difficult for the mid-level god Netherflower, the Death Lord still felt a sense of relief.

"Brother Hope, you'll give me what you promised, right?"

While enjoying the caress of the Lord of Death, Lia turned to look at the black-haired youth beside her and spoke with a grin.

"Don't worry, I will definitely keep my promise. Here you go."

As Hope spoke, she waved her right hand, and a light blue robe exuding a cool aura appeared, with some white inscriptions engraved on the robe.

This is a specially made women's robe, made primarily of a special silk velvet produced by the water spirits of the water-based divine realm. Its defensive capabilities are far superior to those of ordinary high-level artifacts.

In reality, as a Nether Flower, Lia's physical strength will inevitably rival that of a main artifact in the future. It's just that she is still too young now, so Hope gave her this gift for the time being.

"Whee!"

Lia took the robe and smiled slightly at Hope.

"Alright, Lia, you should go and rest now."

The Lord of Death patted the girl's shoulder and spoke softly.

Upon hearing this, Lia glanced between Hope and Sanatos a few times, nodded obediently, and turned to leave.

“Once Liya breaks through to the High God level, the Netherworld Core will mature. At that time, I can perfect my own core and break through to the Great Perfection. However, Liya's bloodline will weaken as a result, and she will never be able to break through to the Great Perfection in her lifetime.”

The smile on the face of the Death Lord subsided slightly, and he spoke in a complicated tone.

"So, you're planning to send Lia to the divine plane?"

Hope watched Lia's departing figure, then her gaze fell upon the Lord of Death.

“That’s right. Lia can’t stay in the material plane forever. Besides, your Graveyard of the Gods is still too small. Moreover, unlike the new Four Divine Beasts, as my sister, Lia doesn’t need to hide her existence.”

The Lord of Death glanced at Hope, his tone tinged with confidence.

"That's fine, the material plane is indeed too small for a super divine beast."

Hope nodded. Leah was not one of the new Four Divine Beasts. Hope had previously concealed the existence of the new Four Divine Beasts for two reasons: first, to use them as a trump card on the interdimensional battlefield, and second, to prevent the Lord of Destruction from targeting them. Leah, on the other hand, did not have these worries.

"Let this child rest for a while. I'll take her back to Netherworld Mountain in a month. Would you like to come and stay for a while?"

The Lord of Death stretched and spoke lazily.

"I won't go. I'll visit her when I have time."

Hope shook his head slightly. He only had one main god avatar, and it wasn't good for him to stay in the Netherworld Mountain for too long.
