Chapter 2777

Not all Sovereigns would attend. Generally, each universe would send two or three representatives. Combined with the eight from the Supreme Universe, including the Black Sovereign, the group was truly formidable in numbers.

All the Sovereigns teleported directly from the Supreme Garden to the Supreme Universe.

Having never visited the Supreme Universe before, these Sovereigns immediately sensed the difference in its aura compared to other universes.

The newborn universe possessed a vitality that was unexpected and unique.

"The vitality here is incredibly dense," the Hua Sovereign remarked, sensing it clearly.

"My wife is the Mother of Natural Vitality, which is why the life force in our Supreme Universe is so intense," the Black Sovereign explained from beside him.

"No wonder," the Hua Sovereign said with envy. "No wonder you were able to cultivate such a group of monsters."

To the other Divine Sovereigns, the Black Sovereign and his peers were indeed a group of anomalies. Upon arrival, they could clearly see the scarcity of gods in the Supreme Divine Realm. The number of gods here was not large, yet there were eight Sovereigns. In this Supreme Universe, the number of Sovereigns actually exceeded the number of ordinary gods.

"The Supreme Universe is a newborn universe. Although it has existed for tens of millions of years, it is not easy for a god to be born. Therefore, if a god is born, we take extra care to protect them," the Black Sovereign stated.

"It is not just about protection; your abilities are truly powerful," the Hua Sovereign said admiringly to the Black Sovereign. "Seeing the current state of your Supreme Universe reminds me of when our Initial Universe first formed. It was also full of vigor back then, but not as dense in vitality as this."

"The dense vitality is due to the emergence of the Mother of Vitality. My wife becoming the Mother of Vitality was merely a coincidence," the Black Sovereign said.

The Black Sovereign naturally would not mention past events, but his words revealed his pride, specifically his pride in having an Empress.

The Hua Sovereign nodded. "After we deal with the Evil Sovereign, this Sovereign must tour your Supreme Universe. You are not allowed to drive me away."

The Black Sovereign laughed. "Of course you can. Once the Evil Sovereign is eliminated, everyone will have peace. You are welcome to visit our Supreme Universe anytime."

As gods, there were rarely so many conflicts. The appearance of an Evil Sovereign was something they had absolutely not anticipated.

Hearing the Black Sovereign’s words, the Hua Sovereign was satisfied.

Beside them, the Yun Sovereign was also observing the Supreme Universe. This was her place of birth. Now she understood that it was precisely because of such a good environment that she had been cultivated.

"Everyone rest for a moment. This Sovereign will go prepare the flying vessels, and then we will depart," the Black Sovereign announced.

The most urgent matter at hand was the issue of the Evil Sovereign.

"Understood," all the Sovereigns agreed.

The Black Sovereign and the Empress went to prepare, while the other Sovereigns were temporarily hosted by the Immortal Sovereign and others.

Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi first returned to the Yanluo Realm. Their main purpose was to place the souls of the Ancient Sovereigns into the red spider lilies for nourishment.

Originally, the Book of Life and Death could also nourish souls, but Yan Aohan decided it was better to place the ancient gods in the red spider lilies first. Since the red spider lilies were watered with Meng Po’s Soup, they naturally had the effect of nourishing souls. Placing their souls within the flowers allowed them to receive thorough nourishment from the inside out.

"The time spent nourishing them in the red spider lilies cannot be too long. At most, it can only be three hundred years. After three hundred years, I will place them in the Yellow Springs for nourishment for one hundred years, and finally return them to the Book of Life and Death for another hundred years. After five hundred years, I will use the Mirror of Reincarnation to send them a dream, and then allow them to enter the Pool of Reincarnation," Yan Aohan said carefully as he placed the last ancient god’s soul into a red spider lily, addressing Zhu Yanyi.

Zhu Yanyi nodded. "These ancient gods suffered an undeserved disaster."

"Hmm." Zhu Yanyi had not hidden what Di Yuan had told her—that the appearance of the Evil Sovereign was merely a test. Therefore, Yan Aohan already knew this.

"So what we can do is try our best to nourish the ancient gods well in the red spider lilies." These red spider lilies, carrying the souls of the gods, were naturally transferred into their Ruyi Space for recuperation.

"By the way," Zhu Yanyi said. "The ancient gods are gods of the Ancient Universe. When the time comes for their reincarnation, should they reincarnate in our Supreme Universe or go back to the Ancient Universe?"

Zhu Yanyi looked at Yan Aohan.

Yan Aohan pondered for a moment. "We will decide then. However, generally speaking, they should be sent back to the Ancient Universe, unless some exception occurs."

Zhu Yanyi asked, "Now that the Ancient Universe has no Sovereign to suppress it, will something go wrong?"

"We should not worry about that. We are in charge of the Yanluo Realm. At most, if the Underworld of the Ancient Universe is left unmanaged later, we can help look after it. We should not interfere in other matters."

Yan Aohan smiled gently at Zhu Yanyi. "There is the Black Sovereign to handle other matters."

This kind of thought, essentially passing the buck, was likely known only to Yan Aohan.

Zhu Yanyi nodded repeatedly. "Husband is right. Such matters are for the Black Sovereign, the Supreme Sovereign, to handle. It has nothing to do with us."

In the Ink Palace, the Black Sovereign suddenly sneezed twice, muttering, "Who is plotting against this Sovereign again?"

The Empress was doing final checks on the flying vessel. "I remember your relationships are quite good. Who would think of plotting against you? Did you offend someone again?"

"Am I the kind of person who offends others casually?" The Black Sovereign absolutely refused to admit that he also liked to scheme.

The Empress snorted. "I feel like you offend people often."

Well, that was how a conversation died.

Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan did not disturb the others in the Yanluo Realm. After all, they still had many things to do, primarily dealing with the Evil Sovereign. Therefore, after handling the souls of the ancient gods, they returned directly to the Ink Palace.

The Black Sovereign and the Empress had also prepared suitable flying vessels.

Since the purpose of this flight was combat, the flying vessels needed the strongest defense systems.

After the Black Sovereign and the other Sovereigns boarded the flying vessel and it started moving, he said, "This Sovereign has not taken out this flying vessel for tens of millions of years, so it took time to inspect it. After all, since this Sovereign became the Supreme Sovereign, the wars here have ended."

Indeed, since the Black Sovereign became the Supreme Sovereign and the Supreme Universe formed, there had been no wars among the Immortal, Demon, and God realms, except for those in the mortal plane. There was only harmonious competition.

"Perhaps it is precisely because it was too peaceful that such a creature as the Evil Sovereign appeared," Yan Aohan thought. The idea of having to travel to the Ancient Universe to deal with this Evil Sovereign added a few more layers of annoyance to his heart.
