Just as Su Xiao waited for the assassin to attack, a notification from Reincarnation Paradise suddenly appeared.
Due to the Hunter's actions, you have triggered the Hidden Mission: The Gathering of the Gods ahead of time. Hidden Mission: The Gathering of the Gods (1 stage only) Difficulty Level: Lv.56 Mission Information: Find and kill the leader of the Gathering of the Gods. Hint: The leader of the Gathering of the Gods is a duke of the Sera Empire. Mission Duration: Before completing the reward for the fourth stage. Mission Reward: Fate Stone (Holy Spirit-grade gemstone) Mission Punishment: Forced execution.
After seeing the mission details, Su Xiao was genuinely surprised. That unknown faction was called the Gathering of the Gods, and its leader was actually a duke—in other words, one of the Holy Descendants.
Among the Old Duke, Duke Lelin, Madam Moon Wolf, and Duke White Dragon, one of them was the leader of the Gathering of the Gods.
But why would a Holy Descendant kill another Holy Descendant? The power structure of the Sera Empire was the very foundation on which the Holy Descendants lived and thrived.
Assassinating another duke was practically cutting off one's own path to survival. All four dukes understood this, yet one of them was actually doing exactly that.
One of the doubts in Su Xiao's mind suddenly became clear: why had the Gathering of the Gods been able to grow to such a scale? Now that he thought about it, with a duke supporting it from behind, it was perfectly reasonable for the Gathering of the Gods to reach this size.
Su Xiao felt that none of the four dukes was particularly likely to do such a thing. Just as he thought of this, a certain faction suddenly appeared in his mind—the
