"Your name is Brodie, right?"
Ever since Brodie had entered the Cordson Mountains, Cheng Hao's divine sense had been locked onto him. In the original novel, the red caltrop diamond had been acquired by this person.
Now, as expected, this fellow was connected by destiny with the red caltrop diamond. Following this person, Cheng Hao was able to easily locate this quest item which had yet to appear.
"Milord, I am Brodie!" Brodie was extremely nervous. In this Infernal Realm, where killing others and seizing treasures was as common as eating and drinking, death was all too common. If things went wrong, he might not live to see the next day's sun.
"I know a bit about your situation. Three hundred kilometers south of here, there's a mountain valley. Go there and find a man named Orne. He can help you get revenge and take back your wife!"
Brodie had inadvertently helped him acquire the red caltrop diamond. Cheng Hao didn't mind helping him out a bit.
"But … milord, will Lord Orne truly be willing to help me get revenge?" Brodie asked somewhat uncertainly.
"Tell him that it was me, Olivier, who asked you to go. He'll know what to do!"
Patting Brodie on the shoulders, Cheng Hao's body flickered as he headed towards the outer regions of the Cordson Mountains. Now that he had acquired the three quest items, he was planning to use the teleportation array in the Muja continent to return to the Yulan continent, then summon the Overgod and complete his Quadruple Soul Mutation.
Looking at Cheng Hao's departing figure, Brodie gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
"I'm nothing more than an ant. That lord just now could have crushed me to death with a wave of his hand. There shouldn't be any need for him to scheme against me!" Taking a deep breath, Brodie headed towards the location Cheng Hao had told him about. For the sake of revenge, he was willing to give up everything. Even if he had to die, it would be worth it!
.....
The Yulan continent. After thousands of years, Cheng Hao once more returned.
Walking out of the teleportation array in the Arctic Icecap, under the respectful gaze of the Planar Overseer of the Yulan continent, a God, Cheng Hao's body flickered as he left this place, heading towards the Forest of Darkness of the Yulan continent.
Within the Forest of Darkness lived the Sovereign of the Yulan continent, Sovereign Beirut.
This time, Cheng Hao was prepared to lay his cards on the table and come to an agreement with Beirut. Once his soul mutation succeeded, he would fuse with the remaining Sovereign sparks in Beirut's possession.
.....
In the Forest of Darkness, Cheng Hao and Beirut sat across from each other in the metal castle that Beirut resided in.
Beirut was an old man who looked to be in his fifties. His face was a little thin, his cheekbones were prominent, and he had a beard under his chin. Coupled with his black robe, he looked very dignified.
"Olivier, I've already heard of your affairs. I truly didn't expect that in just a few thousand years, you've become a Paragon of Dual Elements, and have even exiled Bayer and Magnus from the Planar Battlefield. Amongst Deities, you can be considered the number one!"
After the two exchanged glances, Beirut was the first to speak out in praise. Most likely, in the countless planes of the universe, there wouldn't be a second person like Olivier.
"Beirut, actually, I've heard of your affairs as well!" In response to Beirut's praise, Cheng Hao laughed noncommittally, then said something that greatly surprised Beirut.
"Oh? What do you know? "Beirut's gaze sharpened as he stared at Cheng Hao.
"I already know that you stole the corpses of the Four Divine Beasts from the hands of the Chief Sovereign of Light, as well as the Sovereign sparks. If my guess is correct, your current original body is a Sovereign, correct?" Cheng Hao didn't seem to sense the aura of power emanating from the air at all. Laughing calmly, he revealed Beirut's background.
"So you did find out!" Beirut was startled at first, but then he nodded in understanding. "But that's not strange. Although my affairs are kept secret, some of the major powers know about them. Given your current power as the number one Deity, it's not impossible for you to investigate."
"Then, Olivier, why have you come this time? Do you want to acquire a Sovereign artifact from me?"
"I'm not interested in Sovereign artifacts or anything like that. What I want is the remaining Sovereign sparks you have here!" Cheng Hao chortled, and with a flicker of his body, four divine clones instantly appeared around his original body.
"The outside world believes that I am a Paragon of Earth and Water, but in reality, I have four divine clones of Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind, and every single one of them … is a Paragon!"
"What?!"
Beirut leapt to his feet, a look of disbelief in his eyes. He knew exactly what Olivier was capable of. This person had only trained for a few thousand years, not even ten thousand years, but he already had four Paragon divine clones. If he was given more time, would he be able to train all of the remaining profound mysteries to the Paragon level?
"I have four Great Perfection-level divine incarnations and four Great Perfection-level willpower stacked together. In terms of willpower power alone, I'm already no weaker than the average lesser Chief God. If I can assimilate a Chief God divine core and stack it with my Chief God's might, I should be even stronger than the average intermediate Chief God!"
Cheng Hao stared straight at Beirut, then continued with a solemn look on his face, "You should know exactly what this means. If I fuse with two more Sovereign sparks, I might even be able to fight the Chief Sovereign of Light head on!"
"I understand now!" Beirut was silent for a moment, then nodded. "I still have three more Sovereign sparks. I can give you the earth, fire, and water Sovereign sparks, but you need to consider this carefully. If you fuse with these Sovereign sparks, then in the future, you and the Chief Sovereign of Light will be on opposing sides. For the sake of these Sovereign sparks, the Chief Sovereign of Light definitely won't spare you!"
"Of course I know this. After fusing with the Sovereign sparks, I will secretly head to the Divine Wind Plane and find a Lesser Sovereign of Wind who is hostile to me. I will kill him and take his Sovereign spark. By then, given the power of my four Sovereign clones and the additional power of my Paragon Will, my final combat power will be comparable to that of the Chief Sovereign of the Four Edicts!"
"By then, I will be able to kill the Chief Sovereign of Light as easily as flipping over my hand. After he dies, Beirut, your Sovereign body will no longer need to turtle up in a small place like the Yulan continent!"
"Excellent!" Beirut nodded. "I must say, your plan is extremely perfect. As long as you act quickly and acquire the final Sovereign spark of wind and reach the level of the Chief Sovereign of the Four Edicts, even if you kill the Chief Sovereign of Light, the other Chief Sovereigns of the Edicts won't be able to do anything to you!"
