Within the Ten Sages Tower, Liu Xiaoxiao's avatar was working with Electrolux to find a way to stop Hermes's actions.
For now, Hermes seemed to be searching for the Ten Virtues Secret Realm. Though they did not know his purpose, there was no question that Hermes absolutely could not be allowed to destroy their headquarters. It was, after all, the fruit of their labor. From a purely emotional standpoint, the Ten Virtues Secret Realm was even more important than the Ten Sages Tower.
Just then, a figure appeared in the distance. He wore white robes and looked very much like Zu Yuan, yet also somewhat different.
Simply put, he was far too young.
Liu Xiaoxiao was about to project herself to speak with him when Hermes suddenly appeared before the Ten Sages Tower.
The gods' expressions changed at once, and they immediately activated the formation through the Ten Sages Tower.
The formation beneath the Ten Sages Tower was extraordinarily intricate. Its range encompassed the entire site of Old Shrek City and connected to the Tree of Life, which the Ten Sages had fed all manner of rare treasures containing Life Energy. It was far more complex than the Blood God Array and could better mobilize Plane Power, as well as a portion of the pseudo God Realm's power. Under his control, it could unleash combat strength comparable to that of a Super God-Tier Expert for a short time.
Hermes had no intention of fighting them and seemed wary of the fragile Douluo Star as well.
He lingered for a moment before instantly arriving in front of Zu Yuan.
"Long time no see, Teacher." Zu Yuan gave a composed bow, neither servile nor overbearing.
"Your Martial Soul mutated? A second Martial Soul?" Hermes looked him over, surprise evident in his voice.
