Two Paragons

Wyatt had indeed spoken the truth. He did not like owing others favors. Audrey had helped him before, and repaying that favor put one of his concerns to rest.

The more powerful one became, the fewer friends one had. This was especially true for Paragons. Aside from other Paragons of the same level, they rarely had any other friends. Perhaps that was the sorrow of those who stood at the pinnacle.

This was no coincidence. Before becoming Paragons, each of them might have had many friends, but before reaching the peak, how many of those people could survive?

The Supreme Planes were cruel. Unless you were a Paragon, one careless mistake could offend someone you could not afford to provoke and bring about your own death.

"You helped me before, so there is no need to be so reserved."

Wyatt glanced at Audrey, who had been keeping half a step behind him, and smiled faintly.

"I would not dare. You are a Paragon, after all. But did you come to the Heavenly Realm this time to travel?"

Audrey was extremely humble, then asked curiously.

Audrey had been in seclusion cultivating, so she did not know much about what had happened recently. If she had not been cultivating in seclusion, she would most likely have gone to help Wyatt as well.

"I am merely looking for a few things. Since I happened to pass through Northwind City, I thought I would see whether I could repay the favor I owe you. Of course, there are some things you can have your people search for as well."

Wyatt did not conceal anything as he spoke to Audrey.

After saying that, Wyatt took out a sheet of beast-hide paper. Various Heavenly Artifacts had been drawn upon it.

These Heavenly Artifacts were the items Wyatt had asked the Four Divine Beasts Family to search for, including the Supreme God Token.

Since he had encountered an old acquaintance, Wyatt intended to have her help search as well. The more people looking, the greater the chances of finding them.

"These things will be of some use to me. If you can find them, you may exchange them with me for items of equivalent value. However, it would be best if you kept this matter secret and did not reveal it casually."

Audrey accepted the Beast Hide, carefully memorized everything on it, then nodded solemnly at Wyatt.

In truth, Audrey also wanted to grow closer to Wyatt. Put another way, who would not want to build a relationship with a Paragon?

Led by the Lord of Northwind City, Wyatt sampled some of the city's more famous delicacies.

During this time, some members of Northwind City's major families recognized their city lord, Lady Audrey.

Many of them were astonished.

This figure rumored to possess strength comparable to a Prefecture Lord was actually following another High-God with such restraint?

What level of strength did that young man possess, to earn the respect of someone as powerful as Audrey?

As they speculated inwardly, these gods also committed Wyatt's appearance to memory.

In any case, there was one thing they could be absolutely certain of: Wyatt was definitely someone they could not afford to provoke!

After sampling Northwind City's delicacies, Audrey suggested taking Wyatt to see Jade Flower Ridge, not far outside the city.

Jade Flower Ridge was also a highly renowned area near Northwind City.

The entire ridge was covered in all manner of strange flowers. Not only were there countless varieties, but their fragrance also had a calming effect.

These flowers would not wither because of the Heavenly Realm's heavy snow. So long as they were not destroyed, these miraculous plants could continue blooming upon the Heavenly Realm's land.

Although Jade Flower Ridge was outside the city, Audrey, as Northwind City's lord, had warned others against it. Thus, no gods had occupied or damaged the entire ridge. Most of those who came to Jade Flower Ridge were gods admiring the scenery.

"Every plane has its own characteristics. That really is true. Different planes vary greatly, whether in terms of the gods living there or the scenery itself. After staying in one place for too long, it is not bad to visit another plane."

Along the way, Wyatt and Audrey chatted casually.

Since beginning his cultivation, Wyatt had not merely stayed in Hell. During his travels, he had visited at least half of the Seven God Planes and the four Supreme Planes.

He had even visited some famous Material Planes.

"If every plane were identical, would that not be terribly boring? I used to live in Hell, and after countless years, I had grown somewhat tired of it. After coming to the Heavenly Realm, I found that it suited me quite well too."

Audrey teased from beside him.

Jade Flower Ridge was right before them, yet there were not many gods here.

How many people in Northwind City had the leisure to come here and admire the scenery?

Only descendants of major families or super experts had such time. Most gods in the Heavenly Realm struggled at the edge of life and death.

"Hm? What powerful divine sense."

At that moment, however, a wave of divine sense suddenly enveloped Wyatt and Audrey.

Both Wyatt and Audrey sensed it. They both released their own divine sense, but Audrey could not discover any trace of its owner. Only Wyatt discovered who had released it.

Wyatt spread his divine sense to its fullest extent.

At the edge of his divine sense, a silver-haired middle-aged man was flying rapidly toward Wyatt at an unbelievable speed.

Upon sensing the man's appearance, Wyatt could not help raising an eyebrow.

"Interesting."

The Four Divine Beasts Family had records of the peak experts across the many planes. They paid particular attention to Paragons. So long as a Paragon's identity was confirmed, the Four Divine Beasts Family would make a detailed record of them.

As a core figure of the Four Divine Beasts Family, Wyatt was free to consult all their records.

As a Paragon High-God of the Heavenly Realm, Wyatt had naturally seen some records concerning Magnus's appearance.

The Heavenly Realm's only recorded Destiny Paragon, Magnus, had no fixed residence. Few knew his whereabouts, because Magnus had always traveled everywhere.

"Looks like he came looking for me."

The expert who had just released his divine sense was none other than the Paragon High-God, Magnus.

Wyatt now stood quietly where he was, waiting for the other man to arrive.

Seeing Wyatt like this, Audrey quietly remained at his side.

After a long while, a silver-haired figure finally appeared within Wyatt and Audrey's field of vision.

About ten meters away from Wyatt, Magnus slowly stopped, hovering in the air as he looked at Wyatt with a faint smile.

"Magnus, what a coincidence. To think we would meet here."

Wyatt smiled faintly and spoke to Magnus first.

"Oh? You know me?" Magnus raised an eyebrow and replied with a smile.

"How could I not know the Heavenly Realm's Destiny Paragon? If you knew me while I did not know you, would that not make me seem terribly uninformed?"

Wyatt said with an unconcerned smile.

"Destiny Paragon Magnus?"

Audrey was shocked inwardly. In merely a single day, she had encountered two Paragons. If word of this spread, she herself probably would not believe it.

"Magnus, judging by your appearance, you seem to have known I was here all along. What, did you come looking for me because you wanted to have a sparring match?"
