Seclusion

This was earth-shattering news!

Do not look at how the ones Linley encountered in the later stages were all Seven-star Demons or even Asuras.

It seemed as though experts in Hell were as numerous as the clouds, let alone Asuras running everywhere and Seven-star Demons as common as dogs.

That was also just an area with an extremely high density of experts.

Illusion, it was all an illusion!

Where were the places Linley appeared later on? Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range, Nether Mountain, and the Plane Battlefield.

Especially the Plane Battlefield!

That was a place that gathered the essence accumulated over trillions of years by endless planes.

More than just a trillion years, perhaps six-star and seven-star experts were still the accumulation of a single trillion years.

The Prefect Lord and Commander level were definitely not just the accumulation of a trillion years.

That was the accumulation of countless years.

Therefore, if a Five-star Demon was specified to a certain city, they would often be the star expert of that place.

Bamer,

the former Salif was an extremely famous Five-star Demon in Yilan City.

Because of this, everyone's reaction was so intense.

This was a Five-star Demon!

Apart from the elusive lord of Yilan City, the strongest ordinary-star demons one could hope to see in the Demon Castle were at most the likes of Palmer.

"No way, no way!"

"Lord Salif didn't really follow a Middle God, did he?"

"No, no, we should call him Lord Bamer now!"

The low whispers and discussions continued endlessly.

"I will process the mission formalities for Lord Hermes right away, please bring your Demon Medal, my lord."

Susimita had worked in the Demon Castle for several hundred years; no matter how absurd the matter was, she could maintain her composure.

However, Susimita's trembling hands still could not deceive Hermes.

"It's fine, take your time, I'm not in a hurry."

Hermes handed over the freshly baked Demon Medal and then waited quietly, not getting impatient even though the Earth Element and Mysteries of Power were on the verge of fusing to completion.

Unimaginable!

Someone with such a brute-like image actually possessed such patience.

"Points record complete!"

After getting over the initial panic, Susimita was skilled in her business and quickly handled Hermes's mission settlement.

"Congratulations, Lord Hermes, on advancing to a Five-star Demon!"

A record had been born!

The fastest record for advancing to a Five-star Demon in Yilan City, and even the Purple Thorn Continent.

"Alright!"

Hermes merely nodded.

He took the Demon Medal handed over by Susimita and responded with a smile.

"Bamer, take me to your residence in Yilan City first."

Hermes turned around, and Bamer also walked ahead of him at the very first moment, as he needed to be responsible for leading the way.

"Really... did he really just directly advance to a Five-star Demon like that?"

A Star Demon who had noticed all this muttered in a low voice.

"Then what else would you have him do?"

"I heard that some super experts are even directly conferred the rank of Seven-star Demon by the Demon Castle, and even have special personnel responsible for delivering the Demon Medal."

"Heh heh, you also said that those are super experts! However, this Hermes is only a Middle God."

"Still a Middle God who just passed the Yilan City Demon Assessment."

Controversy was lacking nowhere, and wherever there were controversial matters, there would bound to be countless participants.

Wasn't the discussion volume created just like that?

Only a very few Star Demons with business sense quietly left the Demon Castle.

If nothing unexpected happened,

the topic concerning Hermes would surely make it onto the 'hot search' of Yilan City for the next few decades or even hundreds of years.

At the same time, countless intelligence dealers would also profit from this.

As for the intelligence that the Demon Castle looked down upon or didn't care about, there would always be someone to fill the void.

A few days or half a month later, the name Hermes would surely spread across hundreds of millions of miles around Yilan City.

Watching Hermes disappear at the entrance of the Demon Castle, a wave of loss surged within Susimita's heart.

Yet she was helpless.

Coming out of the Demon Castle, Hermes headed straight for Bamer's residence in Yilan City.

"Bamer."

On the way, he said to Bamer,

"Once this period of seclusion ends, I will head to the Purple Crystal Mountain Range. Will you follow me or continue to stay here?"

Followers were not slaves!

Even though followers took the interests of the one being followed as their own interests, the one being followed likewise had to reciprocate with respect.

In fact,

before the Four Supreme Planes descended with Sovereign Sparks, this kind of follower ritual was relatively common.

Ever since there existed the existence of Sovereign Gods who stood above all gods, the follower ritual also lost the soil for its survival.

Damn it, wasn't being a dog to a Sovereign God more comfortable than following a super expert?

With Sovereign Gods, with Sovereign's Might, and even rarer Sovereign Artifacts, the world lost its simplicity and purity.

"Of course I will follow you, my lord. I will go put my property up for sale right now."

Guiding Hermes to his dwelling in Yilan City, Bamer was about to return to the Demon Castle.

However, he was stopped by Hermes.

"Don't be in a rush!"

"I don't yet know how long this seclusion will last, what's the rush in just putting a residence up for sale?"

Indeed!

Property inside the city that was out of reach for ordinary divine entities was already nothing much to a Five-star Demon.

As for why Bamer was in a rush,

it merely showed his determination to follow to the death, and he didn't truly care about the hundreds of millions of ink stones from selling the property.

Not even Hermes cared.

Although he had devoured quite a bit of ink stone wealth previously, by killing Fort Master Zhe Lan, he had recouped his capital in one go.

"Yes, my lord!"

Bamer remembered every bit of the battle between Hermes and 'himself'.

Materially, he was invincible and strong, at least at the level of a Seven-star Demon, while his soul defense could ward off the invasion of a Five-star Demon of the Rules of Death.

In Bamer's eyes, his lord was a hexagonal warrior.

However, that was because he hadn't seen Hermes's pitiful speed.

That was only within a closed environment like Blocking Castle.

If it were changed to another place,

if Hermes couldn't beat Fort Master Zhe Lan, he probably wouldn't even be able to escape.

Material attack of seven stars, material defense of six stars, yet his speed was only at the level of a normal Middle God—Bamer probably hadn't expected there to be such an eccentric expert.

"Bamer, your offensive power is definitely a standout among Five-star Demons, but your soul defense is too poor. Doesn't the Fire Element Law also have profound mysteries that specialize in the soul?"

Regarding the Fire Element Law, Hermes also had some understanding.

"Yes, my lord!"

Bamer felt a bit ashamed. "The Soul Profound Mystery and the Burning Space Profound Mystery both have the ability for soul defense, but unfortunately, I haven't been able to fuse them into my ultimate move."

His so-called fusing into an ultimate move referred, of course, to Fusion Ground Mysteries!

"Actually, I have also already found the points of compatibility between profound mysteries."

"That's just right, this time we can go into seclusion together, and right after we emerge from seclusion, we will head to the Purple Crystal Mountain Range."

Hermes made the final decision.

"Yes, my lord."

Bamer nodded.

In the blink of an eye, several thousand years passed.

Generally speaking, Hermes did not like the overly peaceful environment within the city, but he had to admit that a stable environment was of great benefit to cultivation.

"BOOM~!"

During the first century of seclusion, Hermes finally completely fused the Earth Element and the Mysteries of Power.

His combat power obtained a major enhancement.

Although Mist Shadow Heavy was also an ultimate move that fused power and gravity space.

However, Gravity Space focused on controlling the enemy. Within the range of Mist Shadow Heavy, Hermes could fight as he pleased.

Expanding Mist Shadow Heavy to the maximum, under the guidance of gravity, while fighting at will, he could also experience the joy brought by ultimate speed.

If he were to also fuse the Earth Walking Technique Profound Mystery into Mist Shadow Heavy, then Hermes would definitely be even happier.
