Whereabouts of the Heart of Destiny

Having the Saint Domain experts and gods of the Material Planes search for the Heart of Destiny was currently the safest and most reliable method.

Wyatt had also considered dispatching some powerful High-Gods from the family to this Material Plane for a large-scale search. However, those High-Gods were not like him. Just traveling from the Four Divine Beasts Family to the Plane Teleportation Array on Bloodpeak Continent would take quite some time.

Supreme Planes were unlike Material Planes; one could not simply arrive wherever one wished in a short time.

Moreover, if Wyatt truly chose that approach and some bold fellow ultimately hid the Heart of Destiny inside a Spatial Ring, was Wyatt supposed to kill all the family experts who had descended as well?

When handling this sort of matter, more people were not necessarily better.

What was more, Wyatt would not do it if there was even the slightest chance of increasing the Overgod's suspicion that this was a Supreme God Token.

Ten years was no short period. For the upper echelons of the Karote Material Plane, it was enough time to turn the entire Material Plane upside down.

Wyatt could not possibly give them too much time, because his time was even more valuable than theirs.

Under the threat of death, no matter how unwilling these people were, they would still work desperately to find it for Wyatt.

If the Heart of Destiny was on any of these experts, they could only obediently hand it over.

The Saint Domain experts and gods of the Karote Material Plane had never seen Wyatt make a move, but that did not mean they doubted his strength.

Even if things came to the worst, and these natives of the Material Plane truly could not find the Heart of Destiny, Wyatt could only expend some effort and do it himself.

As a Paragon, his divine sense was incomparably powerful. Killing everyone present would take no more than a single thought from Wyatt.

At that time, Wyatt would personally inspect their Spatial Rings as well.

If he still could not find the Heart of Destiny, he would forcibly use his divine sense to examine the insides of every living being in this Material Plane.

Divine sense invading a body was an extremely dangerous matter, especially for weak creatures. A moment's carelessness could cost them their lives, much less when they had to face the powerful divine sense of a Paragon.

This divine sense was nearly impossible for ordinary living beings to endure. Essentially, everyone Wyatt examined would die afterward.

But Wyatt felt it was worth doing.

This was the final token of the sixth Supreme God Mission. Obtaining it meant gaining another chance to summon a Supreme God, another trump card.

When it came to a choice concerning his future fate, Wyatt would not be careless.

Inside the Imperial Palace Hall, after hearing Wyatt's words, everyone's expressions changed drastically, including the members of the Four Divine Beasts Family living on the Karote Material Plane.

They could tell that Wyatt was serious this time.

These family members did not doubt the truth of Wyatt's words in the slightest. The lives of bottom-tier members of the Four Divine Beasts Family like them were as worthless as ants before a Paragon High-God.

"Here's a small hint for you. Investigate who has recently been to Skywater Lake. It might be of some help."

Seeing the varied expressions of those below, Wyatt offered them a reminder.

Not long afterward, messages spread from the imperial palace of the Vitt Empire. The founding emperor of the Vitt Empire even personally issued a notice seeking a treasure.

Anyone who could present the treasure would become the direct disciple of the Vitt Empire's founding emperor and could even receive a Divine Spark outright!

As soon as the news emerged, the entire empire was thrown into an uproar.

It was not only the Vitt Empire. Every empire, kingdom, and duchy on the Hill Continent issued bounty notices, and the items being sought were astonishingly identical.

For a time, everyone in the Karote Material Plane seemed to be swept up in a treasure-hunting frenzy. The news spread to every corner of the Karote Material Plane in an exceedingly short time.

At first, none of the Saint Domain experts and gods of the Karote Material Plane chose to flee to the Supreme Planes. While searching desperately, many of them were also watching and waiting.

If they found it, all would be well. But if the ten-year deadline drew near and they still failed to obtain what Wyatt wanted, they would have to find a way to slip into the Supreme Planes.

Unfortunately for them, with Wyatt's Water God Clone guarding the teleportation array, everyone in the Karote Material Plane was like a turtle trapped in a jar.

Hill Continent, Greenearth Kingdom.

The Greenearth Kingdom was an inconspicuous small nation located in the eastern region of the Hill Continent.

The entire nation lay within a barren mountain range, where the climate was equally harsh. Resources within the kingdom were scarce, so the Greenearth Kingdom had very few citizens.

The strongest person in the kingdom was merely the current King of Greenearth, a Level 9 Warrior.

Greenearth Kingdom, Northwest Province, Icecliff Town streets.

The biting cold wind lashed the faces of Icecliff Town's residents, making every person walking the streets shiver uncontrollably.

The town had never had many residents to begin with, and with such dreadful weather, there were pitifully few pedestrians on its streets.

The scattered passersby made the town appear somewhat desolate.

At this moment, two figures in purple robes walked along one side of an Icecliff Town street.

The purple robes on both figures were enormous, completely concealing their bodies and wrapping their heads as well.

Such attire was rather unusual, but the residents of Icecliff Town had no mood to pay attention to such things now.

Around the open square at the center of Icecliff Town stood many wooden notice boards.

The boards were plastered with information from the outside world and bounty missions. Through such notices, the town's residents could occasionally learn of major events beyond their town.

"Big Sis, it seems that treasure which helped us take human form ahead of time is quite extraordinary. Not only is the founding emperor of the Vitt Empire offering a bounty for it now. The entire Hill Continent, even the nations and experts of the North Sea, are searching for it like mad."

The two purple-robed figures stood before a wooden notice board. One of them, a somewhat petite purple-robed girl with only a pair of lively eyes exposed, spoke quietly to the other tightly wrapped purple-robed figure.

"Zilei, remember this: never speak of anything related to that object again. We're too weak right now to detect the divine sense of powerful experts."

The purple-robed figure beside her glared at the girl whose eyes were the only part exposed. Zilei could not help shrinking her neck.

"For the entire continent to search so frantically and desperately at the same time, there must be an even more powerful existence driving this from behind the scenes. The only existence above all the empires is the legendary Four Divine Beasts Family. With such a mad search underway, the Karote Material Plane no longer has a place for us. That treasure let us take human form early, and if we keep it, it will be discovered sooner or later. Rather than that, we might as well offer it to whoever is searching behind the scenes. And with the Purple Scale Fluid refined within our bodies through that treasure, those great figures cannot possibly refuse our small request."

"Since this news first came from Vitt City, the chances are greatest that the great figure from the Four Divine Beasts Family is in Vitt City. Going there will give us the best chance of meeting that person."

The somewhat tall purple-robed figure thought this.

The two purple-robed figures stood before the notice board for a long while.

As if she had made up her mind, the purple-robed figure suddenly grabbed the arm of the purple-robed girl beside her.

"Zilei, let's go. It's time for us to take hold of our own fate!"
