The Bloodridge Sovereign's appointment came very quickly. On the second day after Cheng Hao had killed Molde, all of the cities of the Skymount Prefecture received the Sovereign's message. News of the new Prefecture Lord of Skymount Prefecture, Olivier, quickly spread throughout the Infernal Realm.
In particular, the Fiend Castle, whose forces were spread throughout the entire Infernal Realm, did everything possible to recruit Cheng Hao, this new supreme expert who had just risen to prominence.
"Olivier. Origins unknown. He first appeared at Mirrormoon Cliff of the Redbud Continent!"
"When completing the Fiend trial, he used a divine ability of the Laws of Water to freeze the entire Lake of Darkness, easily annihilating the Night Fiend and his subordinates! His power is estimated to be that of a water-type Seven Star Fiend. "
"Afterwards, he accepted an escort mission to the Skymount Prefecture. He single-handedly annihilated a bandit group of ten thousand people. He used the Laws of the Wind, and his signature technique was the Annihilation Windlotus! His power is estimated to be that of a wind-style Asura! "
"Afterwards, because of a conflict with the son of the previous Prefecture Lord of Skymount Prefecture, he engaged in a battle with Molde. Using his supreme soul-attack technique, he easily killed Molde, who had a defensive Sovereign artifact. His supreme technique was an azure blade of light. His power is estimated to be that of a peak-stage Asura!"
"In summary, the Prefecture Lord of Skymount Prefecture, Olivier, has the power of a peak-stage Asura, and is suspected to be a Paragon of the Laws of Wind. He is definitely not someone to be trifled with!"
This was the final conclusion which the Fiend Castle headquarters had come to after gathering all the information. They listed Cheng Hao as a possible Paragon, and gave the order that the Fiend Castle was not to offend him. Otherwise, they would have to suffer the consequences!
At the same time, billions of kilometers away from the Skymount Prefecture, within the Yulan Prefecture, Linley's group, who had also come from the Yulan continent, also received news of Cheng Hao.
"Good heavens, Boss, did we guess wrong? Is this Olivier really a fellow villager from the Yulan continent like us?" Next to Linley, the rather skinny Godeater Rat Bebe, who was wearing a straw hat, called out in disbelief.
"It shouldn't be wrong. The information here states that Olivier also has a younger brother named Blumer. I imagine that in this world, there can't be such a coincidence, right?"
The brown-haired, brown-haired Linley had a rather strange look on his face. He let out a soft sigh. To tell the truth, even now, he still hadn't recovered from the shock. Olivier, who had been on par with him in terms of power, had actually become someone who was suspected to be a Paragon.
"But this is too exaggerated. It's only been more than a thousand years since I last saw him. In such a short time, he was only at the Sanctuary-realm back then, but in the blink of an eye, he became the top powerhouse in Hell. This feeling is really unbelievable!"
Bebe still couldn't quite accept it. His boss was an absolute genius, but despite that, he had merely reached the Seven Star Fiend level of power. How could it be that Olivier, who had been weaker than even Haydson, had suddenly risen to power so quickly?
"If my guess is correct, the reason why Olivier was able to become an expert so quickly should have something to do with the fact that his soul was injured during his duel with Haydson!" "Do you still remember that Purgatory Commander of Miluo Island, 'Mosi'?"
"Mosi? That rare triple-type soul mutate who is comparable to a Paragon in power? "Linley's wife, Delia, spoke out.
"Right. In the span of a thousand years, no matter how much of a genius Olivier is, there's no way he could have fused the profound mysteries to the level of Perfection. For him to be so powerful, he should be like Mosi. His soul has mutated, causing his own power to increase dramatically. Thus, he is extremely close to a Paragon in power!" Linley was silent for a moment, then came to this conclusion.
"A soul mutation!" Bebe shook his head somewhat enviously. "This sort of fortune is something that can only be encountered by chance. Olivier's luck is simply too good!"
"Enough, Bebe. Let's not worry about Olivier for now. After a thousand years in the Infernal Realm, we've finally arrived at the Youlan Prefecture. Next, come with me to the Four Divine Beasts clan. In the future, that will be our home!"
Although Linley was rather envious of Cheng Hao's fortuitous encounter, he also knew that there were some fortuitous encounters that couldn't be obtained through envy. Rather than envy others, it was better for Linley to train hard and become a Highgod as soon as possible, and then become an Asura-level figure himself.
"Let's go. Let's go to the Four Divine Beasts clan. I'm quite curious about this clan that you, Boss, have been constantly thinking about!" Bebe chortled, then followed Linley's group out of the Fiend Castle, heading towards the Skyrite Mountains, where the Four Divine Beasts clan was located.
.....
The Black Cloud Mountains. The Lord Prefect of Skymount Prefecture. Millions of Highgod level prefectural soldiers stood guard here, causing this place to become a place where even Asuras didn't dare to enter.
"Big brother, are you really going to go to Purgatory City and take part in the Planar War that is about to begin?" Within the Lord Prefect's castle, Blumer was standing by Cheng Hao's side, somewhat unwilling to part. It seemed as though he didn't want his big brother to leave.
"Right. The Planar War only begins once every trillion years. I definitely have to take part in a large-scale war like this!"
Cheng Hao's attitude was very resolute. The second item of the Overgod mission, that tattered crown, had flown out from a spatial rift in the Planar War and been acquired by Linley. This time, he had to go to the Planar War and try his luck. He wanted to see if he could acquire this item before Linley did.
Glancing sideways at the worried Blumer, Cheng Hao patted him on the shoulder. "Don't worry. I'm a Highgod Paragon. Unless a Sovereign personally acts against me, no matter how many Highgods there are, they won't be able to do anything to a Paragon!"
Hearing this, Blumer thought back to how his big brother had casually annihilated more than ten thousand Deities with a single blow. Instantly, his face relaxed considerably. It made sense. The reason why Paragons were so terrifying was because they had the power of a Paragon's Will. Human wave tactics were useless against them. To them, the Planar War was nothing more than a back garden where they could play as they pleased.
"When I'm not here, I'll leave the affairs of the manor to you. No need to worry about anything. So long as you don't offend any Paragons, the millions of prefectural soldiers will be enough to ensure your safety!"
After giving Blumer a detailed explanation, Cheng Hao felt that everything was in order. He didn't waste any more time, immediately flying out of the Black Cloud Mountains and towards the largest sea of the Infernal Realm, the Astral Sea.
The Astral Sea was connected to virtually all of the continents of the Infernal Realm. The seven continents formed a circle, and within the circle was the boundless, limitless Astral Sea. Purgatory City, which was located in the depths of the Astral Sea, was located in a region known as the Chaotic Sea.
If one wanted to enter the Planar War and become a commander, one had to either become a Purgatory Commander in Purgatory City, or become a Lord Prefect in the Infernal Realm. Only with these two identities would one be able to become a commander in the Planar War, and one would not be restricted by the army and would be able to move about freely!
