Aiden noticed Darius moving toward him and immediately became alert.

He remembered it very clearly. Darius had said that he wanted to take away the Starforge Hammer fragment.

But now?

Aiden had directly become a Mythic Rank Star-Smith, and the Starforge Hammer had become his exclusive forging equipment.

In this situation, Darius might very well do something dangerous to him.

What confused Aiden, however, was that his killing intent detection had still not caused any stabbing pain in his soul.

"Could it be that this guy doesn’t want the Starforge Hammer fragment anymore?" Aiden was full of doubt.

"Congratulations. I really didn’t expect you to actually control Divine Golden Sunflame!" Darius said quickly, unable to hide the excitement on his face.

After hearing that, Aiden immediately understood why he had gained the highest level of recognition from the Starforge Hammer fragment.

He truly had not expected that a Skill Book dropped after killing Miles would end up helping him this much.

Honestly, he really should thank Miles for that. Too bad that guy had already died by his hand.

"You don’t want the Starforge Hammer fragment anymore? Isn’t Dawn Society always collecting Sacred Artifact fragments?" Aiden could not help asking.

Darius was slightly stunned. He had not expected the human in front of him to know about Dawn Society.

He first nodded, then shook his head, and slowly said:

"Dawn Society needs it, but I don’t anymore."

"Human, I still don’t know your name. Can you tell me?"

This time, Aiden did not hesitate much. He directly gave his name, because he could clearly see expectation and nervousness in Darius’s eyes.

A strange feeling rose in Aiden’s heart.

Darius seemed like an ordinary human who was drowning and wanted his help.

"How much do you know about Divine Golden Sunflame?" Darius asked directly, without wasting any time.

Aiden thought for a moment, then told him everything Syed and Fiona had said about Divine Golden Sunflame.

Darius nodded and said,

"Since you already know about Eternal Golden Flame, then I’ll just say it directly."

"I could have interrupted you just now, but I didn’t."

As soon as he finished speaking, Darius’s wrist moved First Class, and the small red hammer instantly disappeared.

"Divine Domain," Darius said softly.

In an instant, everything around them changed completely.

The crystal-covered rock walls disappeared. The extremely hot lava also vanished.

The ground beneath Aiden’s feet suddenly turned into cold metal.

He looked up.

Above him was neither rock nor the black sky of the Abyss, but metal, just like the ground.

At that moment, Aiden felt as if he had become an ant, and above his head hung a giant hammer that could fall at any second.

"Let me introduce myself again. Darius, mid-level Demon God, master of the fire Force of Laws and StrengthForce of Laws, senior member of Dawn Society," Darius said calmly.

Aiden’s pupils instantly shrank.

Darius was actually a mid-level Demon God?

Then what Darius had just said was probably not a lie.

He really did have the power to interrupt the process just now. But why had he chosen not to?

Aiden immediately thought of how much Darius cared about Divine Golden Sunflame.

He took a deep breath and slowly said,

"Is it because the Divine Golden Sunflame I control can evolve into Eternal Golden Flame?"

The moment he said that, Darius’s face was instantly filled with approval.

"You’re very smart. A human like you, both smart and cautious, will definitely become a true powerhouse in the future."

"Right now, I truly believe that you really do have a chance to evolve Divine Golden Sunflame into Eternal Golden Flame."

Darius spoke from the heart.

As a senior member of Dawn Society, he knew far more about this world than the other creatures of the Abyss.

Because of that, he clearly understood that a huge crisis would come to both the Abyss and Earth in the future.

And in times of crisis, only those who were smart and careful could survive a little longer.

At that thought, a heavy look flashed through Darius’s eyes, and he continued,

"I can give you any help you need, as long as it is something I can do."

"But you must also promise me one thing. If one day you truly gain Eternal Golden Flame, you must help me revive someone."

After hearing Darius’s words, Aiden took a deep breath.

He did not rush to agree.

Because neither Syed, the strongest Forgemaster among the Red Dwarves, nor Malcolm, the king of the Red Dwarves, knew how to make Divine Golden Sunflame evolve.

"How can you be so sure that I can do it?" Aiden asked slowly.

A bitter smile appeared on Darius’s face. He let out a heavy breath, and Divine Domain instantly disappeared.

"Do you know why I joined Dawn Society?" Darius suddenly asked.

"It was because of hope—a tiny bit of hope, so weak that it almost drove me to despair!" Darius did not give Aiden any time to answer.

He said that even a Demon God rank powerhouse could not bring the dead back to life.

Only the mysterious and powerful Dawn Society offered even the slightest hope.

But now, after seeing the Divine Golden Sunflame Aiden controlled, it was like seeing even more hope.

"In your human way of speaking, this is called an investment," Darius said, taking a deep breath.

Aiden’s eyes shifted.

He was very familiar with investment.

"I want to know more about Dawn Society. Can you tell me?" Aiden asked after thinking for a moment.

Darius did not hesitate at all and told him many things in one breath.

Dawn Society was an extremely mysterious organization. No creature in the Abyss knew how long it had existed.

They only accepted true geniuses as members, and each race could have no more than two members.

Even though Darius was a senior member of Dawn Society, the information he knew was still very limited.

What could be confirmed was that Dawn Society had God-King Rank powerhouses, and their main focus recently was the ancient battlefield that was about to open.

"Oh, right. I also once heard about a plan from a member with the strength of an upper-level Demon God," Darius suddenly said, as if remembering something.

Aiden immediately became curious.

"The name of this plan is Dawnbreak. It is said to involve the truth behind the myriad races rank war," Darius said, his expression turning serious.

Darius also explained a little about the myriad races rank war, but what he said was almost the same as what Malcolm, the king of the Red Dwarves, had mentioned.

But there was one thing that made Aiden’s eyes widen at once.

"Have you ever wondered why humans live on Earth, while the other races exist in the Abyss?" Darius asked.

Aiden immediately took a deep breath. His pupils shook as he looked at Darius seriously and replied,

"Is there some secret behind that?"

Darius nodded and said, "The myriad races rank war has happened more than once. Humans were the final winners of the last one."

"But what confuses me is that even though your human race was the last winner, it seems as if you were punished instead."

"For any race in the Abyss, once their strength reaches a certain level, they only need to raise their soul strength to a certain point and master the Force of Laws to become a Demon God rank powerhouse."

Aiden froze.

What did that mean? Did creatures of the Abyss not need to go through a lightning tribulation to become gods?

His mind was in complete chaos now. The more he learned, the more confused and lost he felt.

Aiden had a feeling that the myriad races rank war, Dawn Society, and the Wraithshard and WraithJack of supreme Miko... all had some kind of connection.

He just did not have enough information yet to figure out what that connection was.

If he could understand all of it, then he would know the whole truth.

"All right, what else do you want to ask? Or if you want some High-tier equipment and items, I can try to provide them too," Darius said quickly.

He seemed a little anxious, as if something important was waiting for him.

Aiden did not hesitate at all and said directly, "Do you have any Mythic Rank equipment?"

The corner of Darius’s mouth instantly twitched out of control.

He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and directly handed over the small red hammer in his hand.

"This is the only Mythic Rank equipment I have."

Darius said through gritted teeth, his eyes full of reluctance.

"Aren’t you a mid-level Demon God? How can you have only one piece of Mythic Rank equipment? And aren’t the Red Dwarves supposed to be good at forging equipment?" Aiden could not help asking.

Darius took a deep breath and explained a little awkwardly,

"I only became a mid-level Demon God recently. I did have two other pieces of Mythic Rank equipment before, but I traded them with other members of Dawn Society in exchange for Force of Laws fragments and divine soul fragments."

"And I’m a little special. I’m not good at forging."

Aiden was a little surprised. Were Force of Laws fragments really that valuable?

As if he noticed Aiden’s confusion, Darius gave an explanation.

Once someone became a Demon God rank powerhouse or a human divine powerhouse, their soul would transform into a divine soul, and the Strength they controlled would also become Force of Laws. At that stage, experience points could no longer increase their power.

The only way to grow stronger was to spend a huge amount of time, or directly absorb Force of Laws fragments and divine soul fragments of the same type, or refine certain treasures that contained Force of Laws and could strengthen the divine soul.

Aiden nodded and immediately understood why Dawn Society was collecting Sacred Artifact fragments.

It seemed that the ancient battlefield really was very important.

Aiden planned to check the information on the ice Force of Laws fragment.
