Baiyi didn’t rush to catch up, instead taking out a few jars of wine from the Demon Realm, "As a legislator, I can’t just focus on farming all the time. This is a little gift for this meeting. In a while, someone will bring the rest over."

Metheus wrinkled his nose slightly, somewhat puzzled, "Hmm? Di Feng has only existed for fifteen hundred years, this wine..."

"There are always some ways. After all, I can offer the Federation three worlds; what I have isn’t any less." Baiyi said as the power of the Demon Realm flashed, and he left, following the traces in space.

Metheus was stunned, turned his head, and looked at the legendary herb garden he personally cultivated, which had turned into a large pit, somewhat helpless.

"Young people..." He shook his head, and the glow of magic power flickered continuously, as large patches of black soil once again filled the giant pit.

Meanwhile, in a small valley, Yuan Tang stood at the highest peak, overlooking the faint undead aura in the deep valley below, "She is not meant for trading."

"But they always want to gain something." Baiyi stepped out from the void, making a somewhat helpless remark.

"I know, I just don’t like it." Yuan Tang thought for a moment and said, "Let’s wait a bit longer; let’s have a chat."

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Don’t worry, you’re the most suitable... " The earth around Yuan Tang slowly changed, and he hesitated for a moment before adding, "I was talking about your talent."

Baiyi looked at the stone table and chairs and sat across from Yuan Tang with a smile, "I thought you would mention your past problems with me."

"That wasn’t causing trouble; it was wanting to kill you. No one can approach the Miss of the Di Feng Family with impure intentions."

There was some reminiscence in Yuan Tang’s eyes too. He produced a pot of wine and poured it for both, and instantly, the peak was filled with the fragrance of wine.

His tone had a wave, helplessly saying, "However, the fool who was tricked wasn’t very keen on letting the trickster pay the price they deserved; there was nothing I could do, right?"

Baiyi’s eyes showed a hint of warmth, "Perhaps she knew all along?"

Yuan Tang looked at the sky, raised his glass slightly, and drank it all, "Hmm, knowing is enough...."

The two drank cup after cup, and their conversation drifted from Diane to the Ancient Gods, to the new laws of the Federation, and even to the development prospects of the new profession - Arcane Magic.

It seemed without purpose, yet as if understanding something.

When the wine pot was empty, Yuan Tang’s face showed a faint smile. He stood up, and his body burst with a surge of magic power, shattering the stone table in front of him.

"The wine is gone, let’s go. I’m relocating the Secret Realm to Dongwu City."

"Aren’t you going to inform Diane first?"

"No need, we won’t be out of touch. It’s just a change of residence. Diane’s maid will bring her things over, just receive them on your side."

"Got it...."

Rumble....

As soon as the words fell, the previously exploding magical power grew even stronger, shaking the entire valley beneath them violently.

Baiyi was somewhat helpless. Does a pleasant chat also need a show of force?

However, he didn’t express much, smiling as he watched the ripples in space like a painting being pulled, unable to help but marvel in his heart.

Power of Forbidden Curse, Golden Upper Tier...

Indeed, all monsters...

Meanwhile, beyond the distant Sun Federation.

"Your Eminence, our outcome was still failure, the reason hasn’t been found, but....."

A crystal ball hovered in the void, and an elder with an immensely aged face, wearing a dark inscription on his head, spoke cautiously.

In front of the crystal ball was a dense, viscous darkness, like black ink, delivering a strong visual impact.

"Speak."

A calm voice echoed in the darkness, while the darkness compressed rapidly, converging swiftly toward the center.

The elder’s pupils disappeared, leaving only the whites of his eyes. He extended his hands, the Power of Destiny circulated around him, infusing into the crystal ball.

The crystal ball gradually displayed an image; on the left side projected a pair of scarlet eyes. Then, the eyes gradually faded away, transforming into a void.

The right side was also a void, showing nothing.

"It looks very similar... but Your Eminence, I can’t be certain either."

The elder lowered his head, his tone trembling slightly, as if worried about something.

At that moment, the darkness compressed entirely into a human shape, and with its appearance came a white skin.

Instantly, an overwhelming divine power enveloped the space, causing the elder’s body to tremble as well.

"Having a premonition is not surprising."

Charles spoke with a touch of sentiment, a Dark Throne emerged behind him, and as he leaned back, he appeared very relaxed, "Are there still those bestowed ones in this region?"

"No... no more."

"Hmm, that should do. Go get some rest."

"As you command... Your... Eminence?"

Charles watched as the elder was quickly decomposed by the darkness, smiling as he said, "I’m somewhat intolerant of betrayal, even if you pledged yourself to a god. But still, it was hard work."

"You...."

Clink~

As a crystal ball dropped to the ground, rolling a great distance away, the smile on Charles’s face slowly faded.

"Baiyi... perhaps not just Baiyi, having run so far, yet still being watched... troublesome..."

Charles murmured, unconsciously caressing the armrests of the Dark Throne.

About half an hour later, a young member of the Human Race knelt on one knee, excitedly declaring, "Your Eminence, the consolidation is complete, the North now belongs only to us."

"Yes, I know. Launch the final battle against the Sun Federation."

"Yes, Your Eminence." The youth was taken aback, confused, "But didn’t you say to unite the followers from the other three directions?"

"No need, if they want to follow, they will naturally follow, you may go."

"Yes, Your Eminence."

After the young one left, Charles, who had fallen once again into thought, sighed helplessly, "Don’t rush, it’s started, but it’s different from what was initially anticipated."

"Yes, I know, the souls will be sent to Your Eminences, but I need more power."

"Failure doesn’t matter; Your Eminences only seek rules and souls. Of course, war brings souls, just fewer than estimated."

"No, I’m not using Your Eminences’ power, just that an old friend seems to have sent me a gift. We must reciprocate, mustn’t we?"

"Your esteemed Eminences, how is the Scarlet Eminence doing? My friends are always worrisome, though Xia’s magic is recovering, Your Eminences may recall what the Abyss desires?"

"Yes, the Sea Race is a huge group, always occupying half of Xia’s territory; perhaps I have a way to help Your Eminences obtain part of the sea god’s left rules, which might also be my friend’s intention."

"Me? I can’t help Your Eminences across two continents simultaneously, but I’m quite satisfied with the dismantling of the small world; Xia will only recover faster and faster."

"If Your Eminences feel the progress isn’t enough, you can invest more divine power, and I will find faster ways for Your Eminences to descend using it."

"Your Eminences, don’t be upset. A little bit of divine power, that’s all. See, as the war is about to start, aren’t these souls much more beautiful than the divine power consumed by your Eminences?"

Charles extended his hand, a rich darkness appeared in front, forming a portal.

Pushing open the portal, the scene before Charles abruptly changed.

Rumble...

Endless soldiers of the Divine Favored Realm charged forward, the chaotic sound of their footsteps deafening.

Even the sun in the sky seemed unable to withstand the momentum of this overwhelming army, conveniently shrouded by thick clouds.

The frontmost line of this endless army was a row of orderly, towering monsters, each over ten meters tall, their eyes suffused with a thick deathly aura. The unstable aura on their bodies kept the soldiers behind them from daring to get too close.

These creatures also controlled the progress of this massive legion.

Charles had just appeared, smiling as he introduced, "Look at those strong and tall guys at the front. This is me learning some techniques from my friend.

I named it Dark Bloom, but the technique isn’t mature yet. Your Eminences know I’m an Assassin, not a Mage or Alchemist. This level is the current limit.

If, in this war, they astonish Your Eminences, I hope you continue to provide divine power to help me perfect this modification....."

Jingle jingle....

In the Sun Federation, the sound of wind chimes spread far, causing Helie to pause in his incantation.

Simultaneously, a respectful voice echoed from outside, "Bishop, there’s something amiss at the border..."
