Going in Person

"Is that High-God holding the scepter in the scrying image still in the Tianyun Mountain Range of the Heavenly Realm?"

As one of the three Supreme God Tokens, Wyatt could not possibly have mistaken the Scepter of Destiny. He was certain that the scepter in the scrying image was what he sought.

The Four Divine Beasts Family's intelligence network had truly given him a pleasant surprise. He had not expected them to find the second Supreme God Token in such a short time.

"In the scrying image, the High-God refining godhood is named Maclen. After obtaining that scepter, he remained in the Tianyun Mountain Range and gathered a bandit force to rob passing merchant caravans."

"News that you have become a Paragon High-God has already become known to quite a few experts, thanks to the family members in the Heavenly Realm spreading the word. Not only have several family elders in the Heavenly Realm begun taking action, but the family has also used many connections to ask some of the Heavenly Realm's supreme experts to assist in the Tianyun Mountain Range. If nothing unexpected happens, we should obtain it very soon."

Natalia smiled slightly as she spoke to Wyatt.

"Thank you for delivering this intelligence to me. When you have time, I'll buy you a drink."

Wyatt nodded slightly at Natalia, then asked her to have the family intelligence network continue investigating the "Heavenly Artifacts" he needed to collect. Afterward, Wyatt was the first to leave the Tianji Mountain Range.

After giving instructions to the family intelligence network, Natalia prepared to return to the Vermilion Bird Clan's residence. As for Wyatt, he naturally intended to head to the Heavenly Realm in person!

Whether the other Heavenly Artifacts had already been obtained meant nothing to Wyatt.

But there could not be the slightest mishap concerning the Scepter of Destiny, one of the Supreme God Tokens.

Azure-Gold Dragon Scales gleaming with an icy radiance instantly covered Wyatt's entire body, and his pupils turned dark gold. Fine purple arcs of lightning continuously flowed across the scales as he directly entered his Dragonfication state.

His Dragonfication state was also Wyatt's absolute peak state. He immediately sped toward the Plane Teleportation Array on the Bloodpeak Continent at his fastest speed!

Iron Knife Gorge, Bloodpeak Continent. The Plane Teleportation Array.

At present, far more deities than usual had gathered at the Plane Teleportation Array in Iron Knife Gorge.

Most of these deities were preparing to travel to the Material Planes through the teleportation array.

Among those entering the array were some Lower Gods and even Saint Domain experts, but even more were High-Gods. There were even some powerful Seven-Star Devils whom the Bloodpeak Army stationed beside the array had heard of!

"Quickly, speed it up!"

Yet even existences as powerful as Seven-Star Devils all departed Hell through the teleportation array at the shout of a purple-robed middle-aged man.

These deities were members of the Reinalds Family.

There was still some time before the deadline Reynalds had originally set for withdrawing from Hell. However, he felt it would be inappropriate to drag things out any longer, so he shortened the withdrawal schedule again.

Those currently leaving through the Plane Teleportation Array were the family's upper ranks who had originally stayed in Leina City.

Once these people had safely withdrawn from Hell, Reynalds would return to Leina City and organize the clan members from the remaining regions to leave in secret.

"Who would have thought that the renowned Reinalds Family of the Bloodpeak Continent would collectively relocate to the Material Planes? In the future, it'll probably be difficult to see any Reinalds Family members in Hell."

"That's only normal. The Reinalds Family has some enmity with the Four Divine Beasts Family. Now that the Four Divine Beasts Family is at the height of its power, with a Paragon having even emerged within the family, if the Reinalds Family doesn't leave now, are they waiting to be made an example of and wiped out?"

Watching the Reinalds Family members continuously evacuate, the nearby Bloodpeak Army soldiers conversed through divine sense.

As time passed, more than half of the Reinalds Family members at Iron Knife Gorge had already departed.

Just as Reynalds let out a sigh of relief, a purple gleam flickered faintly in the distant sky above the gorge.

At first, it was merely a tiny purple dot on the horizon. Yet in only a moment, a figure completely covered in Azure-Gold Dragon Scales and radiating purple lightning entered Iron Knife Gorge!

"This Dragonfication flight speed is so fast... could it be—"

Reynalds naturally noticed the figure in the distance. Upon seeing the aura surrounding the figure and its Dragonfication appearance, this Peak Asura's heart rose to his throat.

There were not many deities in the Four Divine Beasts Family who cultivated the Lightning Law, and there were even fewer who were this powerful.

The only person Reynalds could think of was the newly ascended Paragon High-God, Wyatt!

"Is it a coincidence, or is this Paragon here for our Reinalds Family?"

Looking at the figure that was already close at hand, this Asura of Hell actually became somewhat dazed.

Wyatt also noticed the situation at the Plane Teleportation Array. Seeing the evacuating deities and Reynalds's face, Wyatt clearly recognized him.

"Reynalds? Is this fellow planning to take his clan members out of Hell?"

The scene before him made it easy for Wyatt to infer what was happening.

"This Reynalds moves rather quickly. The news of my becoming a Paragon must have only just spread when he began organizing the family's evacuation."

Wyatt chuckled inwardly, but he had no intention of acting at this moment.

He had said before that if the forces on the Bloodpeak Continent that bore enmity toward the Four Divine Beasts Family had enough sense to leave Hell and stop opposing the Four Divine Beasts Family, then Wyatt would not lower himself to act against them.

It seemed that this Reynalds was also a smart man. He knew that being close to the Four Divine Beasts Family made it easy to be singled out and eliminated.

"Reynalds pays respects to Lord Wyatt!"

The purple lightning dispersed, and Wyatt appeared before the gathered deities. At this moment, not only had Reynalds recovered his senses, but the other Reinalds Family members had also stopped teleporting and bowed slightly to Wyatt.

Even the Bloodpeak Army guarding the teleportation array did the same.

This was respect for the strong.

The sight left quite a few Material Plane natives huddled in the corners utterly baffled.

Hadn't these deities all been so formidable before? Why had they suddenly become so respectful upon seeing this deity clad in scales?

"Where are you planning to take the family?"

Wyatt glanced at Reynalds beside him and spoke indifferently.

Wyatt did not reveal any killing intent, but Reynalds was still on edge.

There were plenty of smiling tigers among the strong. Although Wyatt was speaking with him now, Reynalds felt that the man might separate his head from his body in the next instant.

But faced with this Paragon's question, Reynalds did not dare delay and could only answer respectfully:

"My lord, I intend to take every member of the family to the Material Planes and never set foot on the Bloodpeak Continent again!"

The meaning in his words was obvious. He was telling Wyatt that the Reinalds Family would never again dare oppose the Four Divine Beasts Family.

"Not a bad decision. If you had waited another few years, the Reinalds Family might have been erased from Hell."

Wyatt glanced once more at Reynalds, who did not even dare raise his head much before him. Wyatt curled his lips and could not be bothered to waste any more time on him.

His encounter with the Reinalds Family could only be considered a coincidence. Wyatt still had more important matters to handle.

"Activate the teleportation array. Destination—the Heavenly Realm!"

He took out an Overgod token. This token had been given to him by Azure Dragon when Wyatt became a Sovereign's Emissary.

The Bloodpeak Army personnel in charge of the teleportation array did not dare be negligent and immediately nodded respectfully.

Only after Wyatt's figure completely disappeared did Reynalds dare let out a long breath.

At some unknown point, cold sweat had already soaked Reynalds's robes. He felt as though he had walked through the gates of death several times.

"So he really was just passing by. That makes sense. How could a Paragon possibly care about us? Unless we truly inflicted severe damage upon the Four Divine Beasts Family, we wouldn't be worth a Paragon personally pursuing us here."

With a bitter smile, Reynalds prayed inwardly that he would never encounter this Paragon of the Four Divine Beasts Family again in his life.

Before Wyatt, Reynalds felt that even his life and death were beyond his control.
