The Redbud Sovereign had learned from Sadius how to become an Overgod.
At this moment, when she looked at Lyle and Diana, it was as if she were looking at precious treasures.
They were now the most likely individuals to become Overgods.
Though the two were currently only lower-level deities, becoming Highgods through cultivation likely wouldn't take long.
And as for amethyst origin energy, there was an abundance of it in the Amethyst Mountains.
If either Lyle or Diana managed to become an Overgod, then she would have the backing of not one, but three Overgods.
As for whether the Redbus Sovereign herself wished to become an Overgod?
Of course she did.
However, soul mutation was too dangerous—one misstep, and it meant instant death.
She wasn't ready to throw her life away just yet.
The Resbus Sovereign quickly went to carry out the tasks Sadius had entrusted to her.
During this period, throughout the Coiling Dragon universe, countless experts were discussing the matter of Sadius becoming the first Overgod in all of existence.
In the Infernal Realm, and in the Spatial Sea.
Uhtred naturally learned of Sadius' ascension to Overgod.
At this moment, he was still somewhat confused. Wasn't Sadius a Highgod?
Wasn't he the Redbud Sovereign's own Emissary? How did he become an Overgod?
Uhtred had just emerged from seclusion, having made some progress in researching the blood essence of the Four Divine Beasts.
He had initially planned to seek out Sadius to ask how one might become an Overgod. Soon enough, the Redbud Sovereign spread the news on Sadius' behalf.
Uhtred learned of the Destruction Overgod's legacy. He frowned deeply.
If things were truly as Sadius said—Then he would never be able to become an Overgod.
Because he had become a God by refining a Divine Spark within his own body—he had no divine clone.
"No chance of becoming an Overgod, huh…hmph! I am unwilling. But at the very least, the Destruction Overgod should be someone under my command."
Uhtred recalled how the Redbud Sovereign had previously searched for soul-mutated individuals.
Thinking back now, she had already seized the initiative.
"This Amethyst…she seems to have a very close relationship with Sadius. I wonder if she still listens to me, the Chief Sovereign of Destruction?"
After much thought, Uhtred decided he still had to speak with the Redbud Sovereign.
In the Celestial Realm—After returning to Heaven, Orloff became consumed by indecisiveness.
Soul mutation!
To become an Overgod, one must undergo soul mutation.
He did have a divine clone—and that clone was none other than the Lord of Light, Augusta.
To this day, only Sadius, the Overgod, knew this secret.
To achieve soul mutation, one had to teeter on the edge of death—one's soul had to reach the brink of collapse.
Only then might mutation occur.
But the probability was painfully low.
Moreover, the chance of soul mutation didn't increase just because one's cultivation grew stronger.
Orloff had researched this thoroughly.
After watching countless Gods perish in the process, he had secretly nurtured a few soul-mutated individuals.
But he didn't dare to attempt it himself.
"Orloff, give it up! I will never agree to this!" Augusta's voice echoed in Orloff's mind.
Augusta was now utterly terrified.
Because he discovered that Orloff was seriously considering undergoing soul mutation.
And Orloff was hesitating—should he destroy his own soul…or destroy Augusta's?
Augusta was on the verge of tears. He may have been arrogant and domineering, but he didn't want to die.
If Orloff wanted to seek death, Augusta could turn a blind eye.
But he would never allow Orloff to drag him down with him.
Just then, the message from the Redbud Sovereign swept across all Four Higher Planes and Seven Divine Planes.
Almost every Sovereign now knew of the matter.
"The legacy of the Destruction Overgod? Just so happens, I have a few soul-mutated individuals with Destruction clones as well," Orloff pondered, and ultimately decided to act.
In the Netherworld —The Sovereign of Death read the message passed on by the Redbud Sovereign.
She was deep in thought.
She possessed a divine clone of the Water Element and also controlled the Netherworld's greatest treasure—the Heart of the Netherworld.
This treasure had incredibly unique properties. It allowed her to command the entirety of the Netherworld —It could even freely restore the memories of the dead from when they were alive.
"…Is it worth doing this?"
The Sovereign of Death was also hesitating.
Soon after—A wave of chaos swept across countless planes.
Many Gods, in the hope of inducing soul mutation, actually voluntarily exposed themselves to soul attacks from their enemies—seeking to force a soul breakdown that might trigger mutation.
After all, it was a chance to leap directly into becoming an Overgod.
Even if they were reduced to only a single divine clone afterward, it was still worth attempting.
Sadius, of course, didn't intervene in these matters.
So what if they succeeded in mutating? Whether one could truly become an Overgod—wasn't it ultimately up to Hongmeng's will?
As for the possibility that more soul-mutated individuals might appear in the world—Sadius welcomed it.
Because that would elevate the strength of the entire universe.
In Infernal Realm – Blood Peak Continent—Recently, Olivier had reached a bottleneck in his cultivation.
He had originally planned to consult his teacher—only to find out that his teacher had suddenly become an Overgod.
For a moment, he didn't know whether he should disturb him or not.
He even considered going out for a period of training. Just then, Sadius appeared in his cultivation chamber.
Overgods were part of the laws of Heaven and Earth themselves—naturally omnipresent.
"Olivier, your cultivation speed is already quite fast. There's no need to rush."
At present, Olivier was already a mid-level deity of two elements.
One should know—in the original story, his talent was in no way inferior to Linley's. He just lacked the same opportunities.
Linley had a broken soul-defense Sovereign artifact—Olivier had none.
Linley enhanced his body using Azure Dragon blood and Sovereign power—Olivier had nothing.
Linley gained the Amethyst Space from Reisgem—his combat strength sCliocketed, while Olivier received no such fortune.
Olivier's only early advantage had been his soul mutation.
Later, for the sake of his wife and son, he fused with a Highgod spark—effectively severing his path to becoming a top-tier powerhouse.
Compared to Linley, it seemed Olivier had exhausted all his luck after his soul mutation.
Fortunately, this time, with Sadius' presence, he wouldn't follow the tragic path of his past life.
"Teacher, what brings you here?"
"I came to deliver something good." Sadius waved his hand and tossed a spatial ring to Olivier.
"Inside is essence refined by Beirut—containing both light and darkness attributes. Fuse and absorb it using your divine power. Your strength should increase tenfold."
Olivier was overjoyed. He immediately took the ring and thanked Sadius profusely.
Although he was stuck in terms of profound insights, if his divine power's effect could increase tenfold, that was still excellent.
His fused mid-level divine power of two elements was already comparable to high-level divine power.
Moreover, he had already achieved dual-fusion of both the Light and Darkness Laws.
His current strength was not inferior to that of an upper-tier Five-Star Fiend Highgod.
After all, most Five-Star Fiends had only fused two types of Profound Mysteries.
He simply had fewer fused mysteries than a true Highgod.
His power far surpassed that of a Four-Star Fiend who hadn't fused any mysteries.
If his strength increased another tenfold, even if he didn't reach Six-Star level, he would become a top-tier Five-Star Fiend.
"Olivier, since your same-element fusions have stalled, why not try cross-element fusion?"
"With your current strength, it's time for you to begin understanding cross-element fusion mysteries."
Sadius looked at Olivier. It was a pity—Olivier, as a Light and Darkness dual-element soul-mutated being, wasn't suitable to inherit the legacies of the Four Rule Overgods.
As an Overgod, Sadius could not reveal too much.
Within Heaven and Earth, aside from the Four Rule Overgods and himself—the Overgod of Aether—there should eventually be a Time Overgod and a Space Overgod as well.
However, the Coiling Dragon Universe didn't even contain Time or Space divine power.
So as for how the Time and Space Overgods would be chosen—Sadius already had some guesses.
And Olivier…might very well be one of the candidates.
