"Abyssal Fruit!" At this moment, even the dumbest person would know that these purple fruits that were sparkling, translucent, and tender were the Abyssal Fruits.
"Bebe, don't be rash!" Linley said as he grabbed Bebe, who was about to charge forward.
"In the countless years that the Netherworld has existed, only four Abyssal Fruits have been obtained. There are so many here, so you don't have to think to know that Abyssal Fruits aren't so easy to obtain.”Michelle said.
"How is this a tree? It's not an exaggeration to call it a mountain.”Linley said in surprise.
The trunk of the Abyssal Fruit Tree had a diameter of several hundred meters, and the diameter of its crown was even more terrifying. It was nearly ten thousand meters. Such a huge tree stood like a mountain in front of him, and it was as spectacular as it could be.
"So many snakes?" Delia quickly noticed that something was amiss.
As Michelle and the others gradually approached, small green snakes appeared on the Abyssal Fruit Tree.
Suddenly, a giant green snake that was as thick as an arm and over a hundred meters long emerged from the leaves. The snake's soft body was thick and long. It raised its head and looked coldly at Michelle and the others.
Soon, a few larger green snakes slithered out.
"One, two, three, four, five…nine, ten!”Bebe counted.
A total of ten giant green snakes were either entangled with each other, coiled around the main trunk, or coiled around the main trunk.
"Lord Michelle, we have been waiting for you.”A hoarse voice rang out. Michelle and the others couldn't help but turn their gazes towards the Abyssal Fruit Tree's crown.
With the rustling of leaves, a two-meter-thick body covered in fine golden scales slowly swam out, and a powerful aura spread out.
"Such a huge snake…" Linley sighed in amazement, his eyes narrowing.
"The legendary Highgod Paragon. Today, I'm finally fortunate enough to meet him.”A slightly cold voice came from behind him. A silver snake with nine heads flew out. It was the same size as the golden snake.
"Big Sis, is that the legendary Highgod Paragon? I don't see anything special about him.”One of the ten smaller green snakes spoke in a low voice.
"If even the Lord Hegemon places so much importance on him, one can only imagine how powerful he is.”The leader of the group, who was the largest in size, said in a cold, green voice.
"You are Michelle?" Suddenly, a human face appeared on the huge tree trunk, and a powerful and strange pressure spread out.
"Sovereign!" The two giant snakes were the first to bow to the Abyssal Fruit Tree, and the other ten little snakes were no exception.
"Sovereign!" Linley, Bebe, and Delia immediately half-knelt and bowed. Michelle, on the other hand, bowed slightly, as a form of greeting. However, no one said anything about Michelle's actions.
"Michelle, why have you come to the Abyssal Mountain?”The Sovereign said.
"It's like this. On behalf of my two friends, Linley and Bebe, I want to ask the Sovereign to do me a favor. Find the undead that their loved ones had formed in the Netherworld after they died, and restore their memories.”Michelle said.
"Rumor has it that you have a rather good relationship with Linley of the Four Divine Beasts clan. Not only did you help the Four Divine Beasts deal with the eight great clans, but you also helped him come to the Netherworld to find his family.”There was a hint of a smile in the Sovereign's voice.
" Master God, I wonder if this favor…" Michelle said.
"Michelle, I'm very sorry. I can't do anything about this matter because I'm not the Sovereign of the Netherworld, but the Sovereign of Life. This was something that only a Netherworld Sovereign could do.”The Master God of Life said.
"The Sovereign of Life?" Michelle was rather surprised. Linley and Bebe were both surprised, but their hearts sank.
"However, after passing through this violet mist, you will be able to reach the Sovereign's Palace. The Chief Sovereign of Death is inside. Yin Nawei, take Michelle and the others to see the Chief Sovereign of Death.”The Master God of Life said.
As the sound of his voice faded, the Abyssal Fruit Tree's branches trembled. Immediately, the purple mist in front of them began to roll. A large amount of purple mist separated to the sides, directly revealing a clear path without fog.
"Sir Michelle, please follow me.”The silver nine-headed snake transformed into a silver-robed, black-eyed woman and immediately led the way.
Following the fog-free passage created by the Main God, Michelle and the others soon arrived at an empty flat land. The flat land was filled with flowers and grass.
"Above!" Linley couldn't help but raise his head to look. He saw a completely violet-black palace floating in midair. This violet-black palace was several hundred meters tall, like a small mountain. At the top of the purple-black palace was a spire, and at the tip of the spire was a huge ball.
The ball flickered with endless lightning.
With the giant ball as the source, a large number of lightning chains scattered in all directions.
"So this is the origin of the World Chains.”Bebe's eyes lit up.
"Looks like this is the Sovereign's palace.”Michelle said.
At this moment, a silver-haired, eagle-eyed man flew out from the Sovereign's palace.
"Arthurs, this is Lord Michelle. Lord Michelle, this is Arthurs, the Emissary under the command of the Sovereign of Death.”Yin Na Wei introduced.
"We're already in the Sovereign's Palace. Lord Michelle, please.”Arthurs said enthusiastically.
"Let's go." Arthurs led the way, while Mixie and the others followed closely behind, flying towards the palace floating at the peak of Abyssal Mountain.
After entering the Main God's Palace and buying the stairs, Michelle and the others soon arrived at the inner part of the main hall.
"Greetings, Sovereign!" Arthurs immediately knelt down.
"Greetings, Sovereign!" Linley, Bebe, and Delia didn't dare to hesitate. They all hurriedly knelt down, not even daring to raise their heads. Only Michelle remained standing.
"Sovereign, we meet again." Michelle's voice sounded.
"Linley, the three of you, raise your heads. Arthurs, you too.”A cold voice came from above.
Linley's group rose to their feet. Only when they raised their heads to look did they discover that the interior of the palace was very empty, not even a single pillar could be seen. Linley's gaze followed the steps upwards, all the way up to the Sovereign of Death seated upon the throne!
On the pure black throne sat a woman in a purple robe. The purple robe was embroidered with patterns of branches, vines, and silver snakes. This Sovereign of Death…She had long, blood-red hair, an exquisite face, and especially those eyes, which seemed to be filled with a bolt of lightning that struck towards Linley's heart.
Linley, upon seeing the face of the Sovereign of Death, was stunned.
Bebe and Delia were dumbfounded as well.
"As expected." Linley sighed in amazement.
"Delia and Michelle were right.”Bebe wasn't so calm. He immediately said.
"Oh? It seems that some of you have already guessed my identity.”The Sovereign of Death, who stood high above everyone else, had the exact same appearance as the red-haired girl who had been chatting with Michelle and the others in the Netherworld Hotel.
"Sovereign, I presume you already know why I've come.”Michelle said.
"The Sovereign of Life has already informed me. However, although you are a Highgod Paragon, do you really think that I will help you with this?”The icy voice of the Sovereign of Death was tinged with ridicule.
Hearing this, Linley's heart immediately turned cold. He hurriedly said,"Sovereign, please help me.”
"Linley!" Arthurs was the first to speak." It's not your turn to speak when the Sovereign speaks!”
"You!" Linley's anger surged. Just as he was about to speak, Delia hurriedly pulled him back.
"Don't be rash, everything depends on Michelle.”Delia sent mentally.
"Humph! If it wasn't for Lord Michelle, you wouldn't even have the right to meet a Sovereign!”Yin Nawei said coldly.
"Michelle, do you still remember what I said at the Abyssal Hotel? If the Chief Sovereign of Death were to one day extend an invitation to you to become a Sovereign's Emissary, would you be willing?”the Chief Sovereign of Death said.
"As expected." Everyone present thought to themselves. In fact, many people had seen the clues from Michelle's treatment along the way.
"Sovereign, is this the condition for your help?”Michelle's smile disappeared.
"You can choose not to agree. After all, I have no obligation to help you, even though you are a Highgod Paragon.”the Chief Sovereign of Death said coldly.
"Sovereign, why don't we exchange some terms?”Michelle said.
"Exchange conditions? Negotiate terms with a Sovereign?" Everyone present was shocked, and then they sighed. Most likely, only Highgod Paragons would dare to say such things.
"Oh?" The Chief Sovereign of Death seemed interested.
"I can form an employment relationship with the Sovereign. If the Sovereign gives me a mission, I can choose whether to accept it or not. Once I accept the mission and complete it, the Sovereign will have to give me the corresponding rewards and remuneration. And I promise that I'll take on your mission first among all the missions given by the Sovereigns.”Michelle said.
" An employment relationship. Interesting." the Chief Sovereign of Death said with a hint of a smile.
"This!" Linley was shocked as well.
"Michelle, is there any difference between this and being my Emissary? It has to be known that you are a Highgod Paragon, so your treatment is naturally different from that of other Emissaries. Why should you be bothered by this relationship?”the Chief Sovereign of Death said.
"Highgod Paragons really do receive different treatment.”This was what everyone thought.
From the beginning of the conversation until now, as a Sovereign, and the most powerful of all Sovereigns, he was actually negotiating with a God as if he was in a market. It could be said that a Sovereign was lowering his status to talk to Michelle. One could imagine how a Highgod Paragon would be treated.
"A Sovereign's Emissary can only be loyal to one Sovereign.”Michelle said.
"Oh? It seems that you still wish to accept the missions of other Sovereigns.”the Chief Sovereign of Death said.
"Yes." Michelle said.
"Why? Was it for Sovereign power, Sovereign artifacts, or something else?”the Chief Sovereign of Death said.
"Sovereign's Might. A lot of Sovereign's Might.”Michelle said.
"I can satisfy you with Sovereign's Might, as long as you become my Emissary.”The Chief Sovereign of Death didn't ask why. Instead, she directly spoke.
"This…" Michelle was truly rather surprised now." The amount of Sovereign's Might a Sovereign can give a Sovereign's Emissary is limited, right? Even Highgod Paragons should be limited.”
"That's right. However, you should know that aside from Sovereign artifacts, which can only be given to Emissaries or children of Sovereigns, there are no restrictions on Sovereign's Might. Sovereigns gave their Emissaries a limited amount of Sovereign's Might in order to limit the amount of Sovereign's Might they could use, causing the difference in power between Gods to be enormous. However, to the Highgod Paragons under the command of a Sovereign and the relatives of a Sovereign, Sovereign's Might could indeed be freely given to them. However, there were only so many Paragons in the world, and Paragons didn't really need Sovereign's Might. Thus, normally speaking, the amount of Sovereign's Might a Sovereign's Emissary could obtain was limited. If you are willing to be my Emissary, I promise that I will be able to provide you with as much Sovereign's Might as you need. However, you must also promise me that you will not give Sovereign's Might to anyone as you wish.”the Chief Sovereign of Death said.
"The Sovereign thinks too highly of Michelle.”The Sovereign's Emissary Arthurs sent mentally to Innaway.
"There are far too few Paragons in the world, and all of them are extremely arrogant. After so many years, the Sovereign has always desired to have a Paragon under his command. Now that a new Paragon has finally appeared, the Sovereign naturally tries his best to rope him in.”Yin Nawei had quite a good understanding of Sovereigns.
Michelle was silent for a moment.
To be honest, Michelle was really moved by the promise of the Death God. On one hand, Michelle had a good impression of the Death God's character in the original novel. Now that she had come into contact with him, her impression of him was not bad. On the other hand, the Chief Sovereign of Death was the Chief Sovereign of the Four Great Edicts, so her strength and status were naturally very intimidating. As her Emissary, one's safety would definitely be guaranteed, and they wouldn't be threatened by other Sovereigns. Finally, the promise of Sovereign's Might was of utmost importance. He could actually have as much as he wanted. Most likely, only the children of Sovereigns would receive such treatment.
It was true that Michelle needed Sovereign's Might. After tasting the benefits of the high efficiency of Sovereign's Might in increasing the strength of the soul, Michelle began to actively collect Sovereign's Might. And of the ten thousand drops of Sovereign's Might that she had obtained from the Four Divine Beasts clan, Michelle now had over five thousand drops left.
After absorbing over five thousand drops of Sovereign's Might, Michelle's divine light and lightning clone's soul had reached the level of a peak Asura Highgod in just a short month. It was just a bit away from breaking through to Paragon, and from there, it would gain the power of Will. As for the remaining five thousand drops, Michelle estimated that she would only need half of them to allow her divine light and lightning clone's soul to cross that threshold.
The speed at which Sovereign's Might improved the soul far exceeded the speed at which one refined amethysts. This caused Michelle to have an immense desire for Sovereign's Might.
There was no limit to how much Michelle's soul could improve with the help of her cheat. As for Sovereign's Might, it was something that could rapidly increase the power of the soul, so Michelle naturally would not reject it.
At the same time, Michelle knew from her experience of refining amethysts that the further one's soul progressed, the more powerful it would be. The benefits of Sovereign's Might would also decrease, and in the end, it would be possible for her to repeat the same path as the amethysts. However, currently speaking, Sovereign's Might was the best resource for strengthening Michelle's soul, and it was also the resource that gave her the fastest rate of soul strengthening. Michelle would not reject any of them no matter how many she tried.
"Good!" Michelle's voice sounded.
"This is a Sovereign's medallion. From today onwards, you are my Sovereign's Emissary.”A ray of light flew down from above and was grabbed by Michelle. It was a black token, and it was emitting a terrifying aura. There was a special word on it, and Michelle, who had understood the language of the Underworld, quickly recognized that it was the word "Underworld".
"In addition, every Sovereign's Emissary will be rewarded with a Sovereign artifact. What kind of Sovereign artifact do you want?”The Chief Sovereign of Death seemed to be very happy, and a hint of a smile appeared on her cold face.
"I need a defensive Sovereign artifact.”Michelle said. He already had an offensive Sovereign artifact, so there was nothing for Michelle to worry about in terms of the soul. In addition, Michelle also planned to go to the Planar Battlefield to earn some battle credits and obtain a Sovereign artifact. Right now, his greatest weakness was his defense. Although Paragons didn't have any weaknesses, it was only relative. In terms of his soul and attack, defense was undoubtedly his greatest weakness.
"Good!" A stream of light flew down from above again. It was an extremely pitch-black armor with patterns engraved on it.
"Lastly, what requirements do you have for Sovereign's Might?”the Chief Sovereign of Death said.
"Earth, fire, water, wind, light, lightning. A hundred thousand drops of Sovereign's Might for each of these six elements.”It was time to test her promise. Michelle felt a little guilty.
"You're really rude. However, I'll need to gather up a bit of Sovereign's Might for this amount. After all, what you need is Law-type Sovereign's Might, and I don't have it with me. Tomorrow, I'll give it to you.”the Chief Sovereign of Death said.
"No problem." Michelle nodded.
"Linley!" The Chief Sovereign of Death suddenly called out.
"Sovereign!" Linley hurriedly bowed.
"Tell me who you are looking for.”The Chief Sovereign of Death said calmly.
"Yes, Sovereign." Linley was overjoyed. He hurriedly said,"My father, Hogg, died in the material plane of the Yulan continent.”
"Wait a moment." chief sovereign of death
"Found him. Not bad. Your father is from the Azure Dragon clan, and his soul isn't bad. He's already a Saint-level undead.”The Chief Sovereign of Death's voice quickly rang out.
"Not dead. Father is not dead. That's great.”Linley cried tears of joy, and tears began to well up in his eyes. All these years, he had always been afraid, afraid that the undead his father had created in the Netherworld would be killed and devoured by other undead. All these years, he had worked hard in training, all so that one day, he could quickly head to the Netherworld and find his father.
"Are there any more?" The Chief Sovereign of Death's voice rang out.
"And, and," Linley hurriedly said,"And my brother Bebe's parents. Bebe, quickly come over."
"Sovereign, but I don't know their names.”Bebe said, his heart somewhat dejected.
"I don't need a name, but wait a little longer.”The Sovereign of Death said calmly.
Just as Bebe was anxiously waiting, a voice rang out from above.
"You're quite lucky. Your parents were Saint-level undead, and they were rather powerful Saint-level undead.”The Chief Sovereign of Death's voice contained a hint of surprise.
"That's great!" Bebe clenched his fists, his face flushed with excitement.
"Sovereign, can you help me investigate? My mother died in the material plane of the Yulan continent. My mother's name was Lina.”Linley suddenly said.
"Sure." the Chief Sovereign of Death said.
Very soon-
"Strange." The Chief Sovereign of Death's voice rang out.”
The Chief Sovereign of Death's face was cold and ugly.
"What's wrong?" Linley had a puzzled look on his face.
"Your mother is completely fine. She didn't become an undead, and you still want me to investigate?”The Chief Sovereign of Death's eyes were filled with a hint of killing intent. Her attitude towards Paragons could be good, but towards a God like Linley, her attitude wasn't that good.
"My mother didn't die?" Linley couldn't believe it.
"Sovereign, Linley's mother truly is dead. Linley and I are friends. I know this very well.”Michelle spoke.
"I see." The Chief Sovereign of Death's face regained its calm.
"Sovereign, it's like this. My mother truly passed away a long time ago. According to my investigations, my mother has already died. It's said that her soul was offered to the Chief Sovereign of Light by the Radiant Church in the material plane. The Chief Sovereign of Light was a Chief Sovereign, after all. Why would he care about a mortal's soul? The soul could also travel through space. Arrive at the Divine Light Plane?" Linley said, while giving Michelle a grateful glance.
The Chief Sovereign of Death, hearing this, completely understood. She glanced coldly at Linley."If your mother's soul is really as you say, then her soul should have gone to the Divine Light Plane, where it is completely under the control of the Chief Sovereign of Light or another Sovereign of Light. In short, it is not under my control.”
"Divine Light Realm?" Linley said hurriedly. "Do I have a way to get my mother back?”
"Impossible!"
The Chief Sovereign of Death said resolutely," Any soul that falls into the hands of the Chief Sovereign of Light will never regain its freedom. Let me tell you…the Angels of the Divine Light Plane are completely loyal to the Sovereigns of Light. It's impossible for them to have any second thoughts. Even if you find the angel that your mother has turned into, you can't let her return.”
"Angel?" Linley had some understanding of Angels.
Angels were the most powerful army under the command of the Sovereign of Light. Legend had it that angels were created by the Sovereigns. Although it had intelligence and so on, it was called a human-shaped combat weapon. His own mother. Becoming an angel?
"Why would the Sovereigns of Light collect pure souls? It's because of the powerful Angel Corps.”The Chief Sovereign of Death snickered.
"I can't bring my mother back?" Linley didn't understand.
"After turning into an undead, I still have some freedom. "But Angels…" The Chief Sovereign of Death glanced sideways at Linley."Linley, you should know about the Deathgod Golems, which are humanoid weapons, right? Angels were slightly more special than Deathgod Golems. After all, they possessed intelligence and so on. However, there was one thing that was the same. Angels would never betray the Sovereigns of Light. And given the Chief Sovereign of Light's temper, let alone you, even if other Sovereigns came to him personally, they would ask him to restore the freedom of an Angel. It's not realistic."
Linley's heart sank as he listened.
The Chief Sovereign of Light was a Chief Sovereign, after all!
"If there's nothing else to investigate, let's stop here. I'll send someone to bring your relatives back. You can stay at the Netherworld Hotel for the time being.”The Chief Sovereign of Death said calmly.
"Sovereign, I have another question.”Linley spoke again.
"Humph!" The Chief Sovereign of Death's face turned cold as a powerful pressure descended from above.
"Puff!" Linley was heavily injured, and he coughed up blood.
"Sovereign!" Bebe was frantic, and Delia hurriedly rushed to Linley's side.
"Sovereign, on the account that Linley is my friend, I beg you, Sovereign, to forgive Linley this once.”Michelle spoke again.
"Michelle, although I value you, it doesn't mean that your friend can be presumptuous here.”the Chief Sovereign of Death said indifferently, her attitude no longer as warm as before.
"Linley, what other questions do you have?”Michelle was a little unhappy now.
"Sovereign, can you help me get my mother back from the hands of the Chief Sovereign of Light? You are a Chief Sovereign, so I trust that the Chief Sovereign of Light will definitely give you face.”Linley's powerful bloodline allowed him to quickly recover from his injuries.
"What a joke! Michelle, take your friend and leave.”the Chief Sovereign of Death said.
"Let's go." Michelle's face was as cold as ice as she spoke.
"Let's go!" Michelle, seeing that Linley still wasn't moving, immediately used her divine fire-type power, imbued with the power of her Will, to wrap Linley up and forcefully take him away.
Soon, only the Chief Sovereign of Death and her two subordinates were left in the hall.
"This Linley really doesn't know what's good for him." Yin Nawei sneered.
"The two of you talk too much." The Chief Sovereign of Death's indifferent voice rang out from above.
"Sovereign." The two of them quickly bowed.
"If there's nothing else, the two of you can leave.”With that, the Chief Sovereign of Death vanished from her throne.
