Tracking

Susimita saw that Hermes was no longer paying attention to her, so she could only proceed with official business.

"Leave your address, and someone will notify you when the Demon Assessment begins."

This was also why the Demon Assessment required a payment of ten thousand Ink Stones.

As long as they were still in Yilan City, the Demon Castle had to send people to notify everyone individually. A thousand people would require at least several hundred staff members.

The city was too large.

"Then I'll fill it out after I confirm my accommodation. It won't cause any delays."

Hermes waved his hand and left the Demon Castle directly.

In an inconspicuous corner, a middle-ranked God with an ordinary appearance watched everything. Seeing him leave, the God also hurried away.

It took less than half a day.

This ordinary-looking middle-ranked God returned to the Demon Hall.

"Susimita, I want to register for the upcoming Demon Assessment too!"

"Oh, Conrad!"

Susimita said sarcastically, "Aren't you supposed to be following your master, being his lackey? Why are you participating in the Demon Assessment? Don't want to be a dog anymore?"

Logically, anyone would get angry hearing such words.

But Conrad didn't.

He seemed to not hear what Susimita was saying at all, only urging her to get the registration form.

He also handed over a plate of Ink Stones!

Susimita nodded. It was exactly the value of ten thousand Ink Stones.

She didn't dare to go too far. Mocking Conrad just now had already violated the rules of the Demon Castle.

"Hmph~!"

With just a cold snort, Susimita suddenly felt like she had punched cotton, and she felt terrible.

This Conrad was Saba's follower. Wherever Saba was, Conrad would always appear.

They were always inseparable.

If Saba had designs on Susimita, then Conrad would be an accomplice.

Susimita disliked Saba, so naturally, she also took her anger out on Conrad.

The next morning, Hermes also arrived at the Demon Castle.

He had rented a small courtyard in Yilan City the previous night and was here today to register his address.

After registering his address, Hermes turned and returned to the hotel.

It was called a hotel, but it was actually a vast manor-like compound, because no powerful individual could tolerate having someone above them.

It was one thing if there were differences in strength!

Because there were differences in Talent, which reality couldn't change, but to have to live in a hotel and still be looked down upon.

Who would want that?

In the small courtyard, Hermes' consciousness sank into his sea of consciousness, and he began the process of deducing and merging Profound Mysteries again.

Merging the Mysteries of Law from two to three was not simply adding one more Profound Mystery.

In terms of difficulty, it was a systemic upgrade.

Take Hermes as an example. Before he broke through to become a middle-ranked God, he had naturally comprehended the Mysteries of Power.

Later, Hermes comprehended and merged the Mysteries of Power with the Mysteries of Gravity Space.

Last time, he fought a battle with Nick, the great leader of Camel Village.

Although Nick managed to escape in the end!

Hermes wasn't without gains. He found the point of compatibility between the Earth Element and the Mysteries of Power.

For the merging of Profound Mysteries, finding the point of compatibility between Profound Mysteries is the first step in merging Laws.

The most crucial first step!

The most difficult part that followed was the final hurdle of achieving complete merging of Profound Mysteries.

But without the first step, all cultivation would essentially be a castle in the air.

It couldn't even begin.

And the current problem was:

The difficulty of fusing three Profound Mysteries compared to fusing two is immensely greater.

To complete the fusion of three Profound Mysteries of the Great Earth Law, one must first find the point of compatibility between the Earth Element Profound Mystery and the Gravity Space Profound Mystery, and then fully fuse these two Profound Mysteries to the Great Accomplishment stage.

Next, following the compatibility point between the Earth Element and Strength Profound Mysteries that Hermes found during combat, one must proceed to fuse these two Profound Mysteries to the Great Accomplishment stage as well.

Only then comes the overall fusion of the three law Profound Mysteries.

It is only when the Earth Element, Strength, and Gravity Space Profound Mysteries are all fused to the Great Accomplishment stage that the fusion of the three Profound Mysteries of the Great Earth Law is considered complete.

The good news is that Hermes's Earth Element Talent has a maximum of seven stars, which means the fusion of four Profound Mysteries is possible.

With such Talent, the most obvious feeling is the extremely fast cultivation speed.

Fusing Profound Mysteries of the same law is like sorting through tangled threads, and sometimes requires a bit of luck.

But he is different.

Hermes is like a gambler at an exam, and he wins every bet.

Who could argue with that?

Every time he searches for the tangled threads of Profound Mysteries, he always finds the breakthrough point at just the right moment.

With such a situation, how could the speed of Profound Mystery fusion not be fast?

While still in the Chongxuan Mountain Range, Hermes completed the fusion of two Profound Mysteries in a mere thousand years.

He directly broke through to the Middle God stage.

More than twenty days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Compared to Profound Mystery fusion, this short period in Yilan City is insignificant.

"Hoo hoo~!"

Hermes opened his eyes.

The fusion of the Earth Element and Strength Profound Mysteries is more than halfway complete. Of course, this was not achieved during this period.

On the way from the Great Earth God Realm to Mount Navel, from Mirror Moon Cliff to the Bis Volcano Group, and now to Yilan City.

He hasn't been idle at all along the way, and even while traveling by Metal Life, he hasn't stopped cultivating.

However, Hermes's main focus has been on finding the compatibility between the Earth Element and Gravity Space Profound Mysteries.

This is crucial.

Although his Earth Element Talent has a set upper limit, there's no telling when he will reach it.

"I can't cultivate anymore, lest I delay the Demon Assessment. What if I suddenly fall into enlightenment?"

Missing one Demon Assessment is not a big deal, but if his enlightenment were to be interrupted, the loss would far outweigh the gain.

He would regret it immensely.

"Let's go out for a walk~!"

Hermes first greeted the hotel receptionist to avoid missing the Demon Assessment notification while out.

The streets of Yilan City are bustling with people, lively and vibrant.

But Hermes's state of mind is exceptionally calm. He knows that such prosperity is not for him.

Only through more actual combat and more tempering of life and death can the fusion of the three Profound Mysteries of the Great Earth Law be completed.

"Carving in a closed room" has never been a compliment.

However, a balance between work and rest is necessary.

"Whoosh~!" The moment Hermes turned his head, he noticed an unremarkable man.

The man was following him.

He had been following since Hermes left the hotel. Because his Soul force as a Middle God was not superior, and he was within Yilan City, his nerves were relaxed.

Even though he noticed the other party, he wasn't worried about them making a move against him.

"Swoosh~!"

Just then, the figure silently changed its position.

"So unprofessional, constantly changing positions. Do they think I'm an idiot?"

Hermes smiled slightly and deliberately turned into a deserted alley.

At this time, the people entering the city had not yet arrived, and the city's population was not enough to fill every corner of Yilan City.

There are always empty streets and alleys.

"Who are you? You've been following me for so long, what's your purpose?"

Hermes turned around, facing the ordinary-looking Middle God directly.

He was standing in a spot that perfectly blocked the other person's path.

Conrad was slightly taken aback.

He clearly hadn't expected to be discovered so quickly; Wind Element Deities always had this kind of confidence.

"My name is Conrad, and I'm a Demon Assessee from the same batch as you. I want to team up with you for the assessment."

His expression was pleading, as if he were truly here to team up with Hermes.

"I don't believe a word you say!"
