The "Scepter of Destiny" in the Shadow

Leave Hell?

As soon as Reynalds spoke, the clan members below erupted into another uproar.

The Reinalds Family's foundation lay in the Bloodpeak Continent. Let alone a hundred years—even if they were given a thousand years, the Reinalds Family could not completely relocate its accumulated foundations.

Not to mention that the connections, resources, and intelligence network the family had built up over countless years would be more than half ruined.

"Silence!"

Looking at the clan members below, each wearing a different expression and whispering among themselves, Reynalds directly channeled Divine Power, sending his deep voice into everyone's ears.

"What does it matter if we lose some family resources? As long as the strong members of our family remain, wherever the Reinalds Family goes, we will still be a dominant power!"

"Remaining on the Bloodpeak Continent now is absolutely the most foolish decision."

"A Paragon is not an Overgod. Such an existence still belongs to the divine level, merely an invincible powerhouse among gods."

"Back then, the four Overgods of the Four Divine Beasts Family might not have cared about our existence at all. As long as we did not go too far, the lofty Four Divine Beasts Overgods would not pay attention to us. But the Paragon of the Four Divine Beasts Family is different. Once he notices our actions in the shadows, the Reinalds Family will absolutely face utter destruction!"

Overgods stood high above all else and rarely interfered in matters between gods. However, if the higher-ups of the Four Divine Beasts Family used a few favors to have Wyatt deal with the Reinalds Family, Reynalds did not think that would be difficult.

That was why Reynalds had been so terrified upon hearing that a Paragon had appeared within the Four Divine Beasts Family.

"Patriarch, if we leave Hell, which Supreme Plane or God Plane should we go to? The Four Divine Beasts Family has quite a few clan members in the other planes as well."

At that moment, a Seven-Star Devil of the Reinalds Family asked this question.

"We will not go to any other Supreme Plane, nor will we go to any God Plane."

Narrowing his eyes, Reynalds's cold voice rang out once more.

"Once all clan members have gathered, the Reinalds Family will follow me to a Material Plane. For one trillion years, not a single Clan Member is permitted to leave that Material Plane!"

Compared to other God Planes or Supreme Planes, Material Planes were undoubtedly the safest places.

Material Planes were endless in number. Unless someone deliberately investigated the transmission records of the Plane Teleportation Arrays, it would be difficult to determine exactly which Material Plane the Reinalds Family had gone to.

This was already the greatest distance Reynalds could put between them and the Paragon of the Four Divine Beasts Family.

Relocating the entire family from the Bloodpeak Continent was already telling the Four Divine Beasts Family that they had conceded.

If the Paragon of the Four Divine Beasts Family still pursued them into a Material Plane, then Reynalds would have no solution either.

Over the years, friction between the Four Divine Beasts Family and the Reinalds Family had never ceased. Ordinary clan members on both sides had suffered casualties, but Reynalds felt that the two great forces had not yet reached a point beyond reconciliation.

Fortunately, as a Sovereign's Emissary, Reynalds possessed an Overgod token. Using the Plane Teleportation Array did not cost him any wealth, which was at least something worth being grateful for.

Since it was a decision made by their patriarch, the Reinalds Family's clan members naturally did not object. Moreover, Reynalds's words made perfect sense, and they had no reason to argue.

After that meeting ended, the entire Reinalds Family quietly began moving.

No one knew when it had begun, but the Reinalds Family, once always so high-profile on the Bloodpeak Continent, suddenly became extremely low-key. Their clan members were rarely seen on the continent.

It was only several thousand years later that many gods suddenly realized that this colossal force of Hell had quietly left the plane of Hell at some unknown time.

Tianji Mountain Range, Mist Valley.

After the Four Divine Beasts finished that meeting, Wyatt returned to Mist Valley.

Returning with Wyatt was Natalia, the Patriarch of the Vermilion Bird Clan.

Before the Four Divine Beasts meeting began, Natalia had told Wyatt that there were leads on the items he had been searching for.

Now that the meeting was over, it was time for Wyatt to see whether any of the leads Natalia mentioned involved the Supreme God Tokens he needed.

"This is the Purple-Patterned Prism Crystal. It appeared in Wind Valley of the Wind God Plane over a hundred years ago."

"Black Gold Stone appeared in the Black Gold Mountain Range of the Earth God Plane sixteen thousand years ago. It was ultimately obtained by an Asura named Chabu."

"White Water Flame. It is said that anyone who absorbs it has a certain chance of improving their comprehension of the laws. According to rumors, this thing is born once every countless years in the Divine Plane of Water. The last time White Water Flame appeared was several billion years ago, and it was obtained by a Peak Asura cultivating the Laws of Death in the Divine Plane of Water. We have now found that Asura's whereabouts, though we do not know whether he has given away this treasure over such a long period of time."

Of the items on the list Wyatt had originally handed Natalia, the rough whereabouts of more than a dozen had already been uncovered in such a short time.

Although most of these Heavenly Artifacts were of little use to Wyatt, he was quite interested in artifacts like White Water Flame, which was similar to the Netherworld Fruit of the Netherworld and could improve one's comprehension of the laws.

After all, Wyatt currently had four Divine Avatars: a Lightning Paragon avatar, an Earth High-God avatar, a Water High-God avatar, and a Destruction System Mid-God avatar.

If something like White Water Flame could truly improve his other avatars' comprehension of the laws, that would naturally be for the best.

Could the Netherworld Fruit of the Netherworld help me improve my other avatars' comprehension of the laws?

Wyatt thought to himself.

Wyatt also knew a little about the Netherworld Fruit of the Netherworld. It was a product of an Overgod's true body.

The Netherworld Fruit's abilities had been exaggerated to an almost mystical degree. It was said that an ordinary god who ate one could gain the strength of an Asura. Wyatt did not know whether that was true.

However, since his lightning avatar had already reached the Paragon level and did not fear the dangers of Netherworld Mountain at all, he could visit the Netherworld if he had the time.

At that moment, Natalia took another Crystal Shadow from her Spatial Ring.

After taking out the Crystal Shadow, Natalia directly handed it to Wyatt.

"This is the final Heavenly Artifact the Four Divine Beasts Family's intelligence network has found that you need. This Heavenly Artifact is truly astonishing. It can actually allow an ordinary High-God who refined godhood to increase his strength by so much. I had never even heard of such a Heavenly Artifact before."

Natalia had clearly watched the contents of the Crystal Shadow. She seemed somewhat amazed by the Heavenly Artifact recorded within it.

"Oh?"

Taking the Shadow Crystal, Wyatt directly extended his divine sense into it and began watching the contents it recorded.

The Crystal Shadow emitted a hazy glow, and a line of text appeared within it.

"This scene took place in the Tianyun Mountain Range of the Heavenly Realm. A High-God who refined godhood used a scepter-shaped Heavenly Artifact to effortlessly kill a Six-Star Fate Messenger. Preliminary estimates suggest that this Heavenly Artifact can greatly increase the strength of weak gods."

The text faded away, and scenes began to emerge.

It was a mountain range shrouded in clouds and mist, possessing a certain ethereal charm.

All manner of enormous vegetation grew throughout the mountains.

At a spot halfway up one of the peaks, two figures stood suspended in the air.

One of them was a Small-Eyed Youth dressed in white robes, wearing a mocking expression.

The Crystal Shadow recorded that this Small-Eyed Youth was a Six-Star Fate Messenger of the Heavenly Realm.

A Six-Star Fate Messenger was equivalent to a Six-Star Devil of Hell.

Standing opposite him was a White-Haired Middle-Aged Man.

The middle-aged man held a Pure White Scepter engraved with strange patterns, and his expression was quite grim.

But at that moment, the middle-aged man holding the scepter merely raised it and lightly pointed it at the youth. The youth seemed to suffer a soul attack and instantly lost his life!

The scene within the Shadow Crystal abruptly ended at that instant.

Wyatt slowly set down the Crystal Shadow, taking a deep breath.

He could not possibly be mistaken about the item recorded in the Crystal Shadow.

The scepter in that middle-aged man's hand was absolutely the Scepter of Destiny, one of the three Supreme God Tokens!
