"Creig?" Andres raised an eyebrow and looked at Trevor in confusion.

He had also heard the name Creig from the surrounding discussions just now.

But before this, he had never heard of anyone named Creig.

Teresa's expression changed as well.

Inori frowned and pondered for a moment. "I have heard of him. He was from the Misoko Kingdom. Supposedly, he became a Level Seven Warrior at fifteen, broke through to Level Eight at twenty, and became a Level Nine Warrior by thirty."

Andres could not help but feel shocked. A Level Nine Warrior at thirty—his progress was as fast as Olivia's in the original work!

Of course, that did not mean Creig's talent could compare to Olivia's.

Cultivating Battle Qi quickly did not mean one would comprehend laws equally quickly. The two were still different.

"Lord Trevor, is Creig also in the Holy Alliance now?" Andres asked.

He really wanted to meet this Creig and see whether the other man's talent could trigger the system.

The smile on Trevor's face had faded at some point. He shook his head and said, "Creig died more than ten years ago. He was only thirty-two when he died. At the time, he had already comprehended the realm of Drawing Upon Heaven and Earth. He only needed his Battle Qi to reach Peak Level Nine to become a Saint Realm expert."

"He died?" Andres found it somewhat unbelievable. A genius like that should have been a key figure protected by humanity.

"Lord Trevor, how did he die?" Teresa suddenly asked, staring unblinkingly at Trevor. He seemed extremely concerned about the matter.

Trevor shook his head and sighed. "Don't ask. And don't look into this matter in the future, either."

After saying that, he fell silent.

Although all three of them felt that there was definitely more to the matter, Trevor refused to speak, leaving them with no choice.

The group continued onward in silence.

Before long, a garden appeared ahead of them. From afar, they could see several two-story buildings within it.

"Those buildings are the residences of our Human Saint Realm experts. Lord Yasen has ordered that at least three Saint Realm experts must remain in Yasen City to guard against Beastmen sneak attacks. The ten of us Saint Realm experts take turns standing watch. When we are not on duty, we generally come to live in the Holy Alliance and exchange insights with other Saint Realm experts," Trevor said.

By then, his expression had returned to normal.

As they entered the garden, they found that there were ten buildings in total. Besides those ten, another building was under construction.

A group of Dwarf Craftsmen, only around 1.2 meters tall, were busily at work.

"Why is there an extra building? Could it be..." Trevor was surprised as well, suddenly thinking of something.

Just then—

"Haha! Trevor, you're back!"

A Bald Strongman rushed out of one of the buildings. He stood over two meters tall, his arms thicker than an ordinary person's waist. His entire body was like a small mountain.

"Ramsey!" Trevor's eyes lit up when he saw the Bald Strongman.

"Let me see. Are these little ones the new arrivals among us humans?" Ramsey's eyes were as large as bells as he looked Andres and the other two over.

The burly man before them was clearly a Saint Realm expert, so none of the three dared to act carelessly.

"Let me introduce you," Trevor said at the right moment.

"Inori, Teresa, Andres."

Trevor looked at Ramsey and pointed at Andres and the other two in turn.

Then he turned to the other side.

"This is Ramsey, a Saint Realm Peak expert who has been famous for centuries."

"Lord Ramsey," Andres and the other two said in unison.

Upon hearing the words "Saint Realm Peak," Inori and Teresa became even more restrained.

No matter how confident they were in themselves, they understood that they were still very far from the Saint Realm Peak.

Andres, however, thought one step further.

"This Saint Realm Peak probably only refers to Battle Qi. I wonder how much Law Profundity Ramsey has comprehended," Andres thought to himself.

The system in his mind had remained silent, indicating that Ramsey did not possess Godhood talent either.

Presumably, he had not gained much comprehension in Law Profundity.

"Three people? Didn't they say there would only be two before? One was Inori from the Oga Kingdom, and the other was Teresa from the Goblin Merchant Association." Ramsey looked at Trevor in confusion.

"That's right. Andres was an unexpectedly discovered genius. Although he is only a Level Eight Warrior, he has already comprehended 'Drawing Upon Heaven and Earth'!" Trevor said.

"Really?"

Ramsey's eyes widened at once, and then he burst into laughter. "Haha, doesn't that mean humanity will gain another Saint Realm expert? It has only been a few days, and I've already heard more good news! Just a few days ago, I was saying that I had no idea when the next Saint Realm expert would appear. I never expected to see hope so soon!"

Hearing this, Trevor could not help asking, "Ramsey, I saw that there's an extra building. Could it be..."

"That's right!" Ramsey grinned. "Patur broke through more than ten days ago and became a Saint Realm expert!"

As soon as he said this, everyone present reacted differently.

Teresa did not seem particularly affected, but Inori's expression instantly turned solemn.

With Patur becoming a Saint Realm expert, it would undoubtedly be much harder for her to contend with him for the throne.

Andres also felt a hint of danger.

He had become enemies with Gallo, and Gallo was Patur's only son.

Although Trevor had said that the Human Saint Realm would step in to mediate their conflict, he did not like placing his hopes in others. He wanted to take the initiative.

"I must obtain the Sacred Tree Fruit!"

Only the Sacred Tree Fruit could save him the time needed to accumulate Battle Qi and allow him to enter the Saint Realm as soon as possible.

Andres and Inori each had their own thoughts.

Trevor was also delighted to hear that Patur had become a Saint Realm expert.

"Another Saint Realm expert has been born among humanity. Lord Yasen will definitely be very happy," Trevor said joyfully.

"Of course. What Lord Yasen wishes to see most is humanity growing stronger." Ramsey turned to look at the small building at the deepest part of the garden, his eyes filled with undisguised worship and admiration.

"I won't talk to you any longer. I need to take them to see Lord Yasen," Trevor said.

"Go ahead. Lord Yasen is there."

Trevor led Andres and the other two toward the small building at the deepest part of the garden.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Before they could approach, they suddenly saw two streaks of light shoot into the sky.

One streak was fiery red, while the other was pale cyan.

The fiery-red streak stopped in midair. It was an elderly man with a burly build and short red hair.

Facing him across the air was the pale-cyan streak: a middle-aged man in a green robe, with refined features, long hair draped over his shoulders, and a faint smile on his face.

"It's Lord Yasen and Abad!"

Trevor was startled when he saw the two streaks of light. Once he recognized them, however, he relaxed and shook his head with a smile. "Abad must have gone to challenge Lord Yasen again."

"Look, the one with short red hair is Abad, a Human Saint Realm expert. And that middle-aged man in the green robe is Lord Yasen," Trevor introduced them to Andres and the other two.

"So that's Wind Sage Yasen?"

Andres stared intently at the middle-aged man in the green robe.
