Wish Fulfilled

Two years had passed since Wyatt summoned the powerhouses of the Karote Material Plane.

Over those two years, the upper echelons of the Karote Material Plane had mobilized every connection they had to search for the Heart of Destiny.

Wanting to obtain benefits from Wyatt was one thing, but more importantly, they did not want to die.

Yet even with both forceful and gentle methods employed, they still had not found the slightest clue about the Heart of Destiny.

This only made everyone feel even more pressed for time.

Within a Purified Room in the imperial palace of the Vitt Empire, a middle-aged man dressed in black sat quietly.

At this moment, the founding emperor of the Vitt Empire had also been troubled over the whereabouts of the Heart of Destiny for quite some time.

As a genius who had independently become a Mid-God and even had a chance to independently become a High-God in a Material Plane, the founding emperor of the Vitt Empire, Vitt, had grown quite close to certain members of the Four Divine Beasts Family in the Karote Material Plane.

Because of this, he was even more worried that they would fail to find the Heart of Destiny within the ten-year deadline.

If it truly dragged on for ten years, Vitt knew that no one would be able to save him.

At that moment, there came a soft knock on the door of the secret room.

"What is it?"

Vitt was in no good mood. His voice was icy, offering the visitor no pleasant reception.

"Teacher, good news! There is a lead on the item you have been searching for!"

The door to the secret room slowly opened, and a square-faced middle-aged man in a green robe with short black hair walked in.

Since this middle-aged man addressed Vitt as teacher, he was clearly Vitt's disciple.

"What did you say?!"

Vitt was initially stunned, but then an expression of wild delight appeared on his cold face.

"Teacher, just now, two Level 9 Warriors arrived outside the imperial palace in Vitt City. They claimed to know the whereabouts of the item you are looking for."

The middle-aged man did not dare delay and truthfully reported the matter.

"Bring them in immediately!"

Vitt's heart surged with delight once more.

He rose and paced back and forth. Then, after his gaze flickered for a moment, he gave an instruction to the square-faced middle-aged man who had just entered.

The square-faced middle-aged man did not dare delay and immediately strode out of the secret room.

"I never expected that the item Lord Wyatt personally descended upon the Karote Material Plane to seek would be in the hands of two Level 9 Warriors. If I obtain that treasure from those two and present it to Lord Wyatt, wouldn't I receive a reward from him?"

At the thought of receiving a reward from a Paragon, Vitt could not help but reveal a faint smile.

He felt it was necessary to question the visitors carefully.

Not long after, two figures completely wrapped in Purple Robes were led into the secret room by Vitt's disciple.

The man respectfully nodded to Vitt before directly withdrawing from the secret room, leaving only Vitt and the two purple-clad figures behind.

The yellowed lamplight in the secret room was somewhat dim. No one spoke first, and the room suddenly fell silent.

"Hm? That isn't the aura of humans? How strange. Aren't magical beasts only supposed to take human form after reaching the divine level? What is going on with these two?"

As a Mid-God, Vitt could clearly sense that the auras of these two Purple Robes definitely did not belong to humans, but to magical beasts!

Magical beasts could only take human form upon reaching the divine level. This was an ironclad rule in Vitt's mind, yet that rule now seemed to have been broken.

With a thought, a Mid-God's Divine Domain completely enveloped the entire secret room.

"You two, do you have any clues about the item I have offered a reward for?"

At that moment, Vitt slowly sat down in a chair to the side, smiling as he looked at the two purple-robed figures whose bodies were completely concealed.

"My lord, we do indeed know the whereabouts of the item you seek. As long as we wish to, we can take you to retrieve it at any time."

Without hiding anything, one of the two figures, a somewhat taller purple-robed figure, respectfully spoke in a pleasant female voice.

"Excellent. How about we set out now? As promised, I will take you as my personal disciples. If you want Divine Sparks, I can directly grant them to you as well!"

Vitt laughed heartily. The excitement on his face was unmistakable as he spoke joyfully.

"My lord, to be honest, we actually wish to meet the person behind you."

However, Vitt did not receive the answer he wanted. The tall purple-robed figure said this instead.

"Oh? Are you saying that I am not qualified to make a deal with you?"

The hearty smile on Vitt's face abruptly vanished. He stared at the two figures in the distance and frowned slightly.

"Across the entire Hill Continent, not only you, my lord, but the Saint Domain experts and even divine-level experts of every empire and kingdom have suddenly begun searching for the same thing, and they are all so frantic about it. There must be someone giving orders behind this. If I am not mistaken, the one behind you should be the legendary Four Divine Beasts Family, correct?"

The pleasant female voice echoed through the secret room. Upon hearing her words, Vitt actually revealed a faint smile.

"Hmph, you magical beast are quite clever to have guessed all that. You are right. This matter was ordered by one of the Four Divine Beasts Family's lords. But with your pathetic strength, are you worthy of meeting that lord?"

As he said this, Vitt could not help glancing at the two figures beside him again, revealing a disdainful smile.

Without any warning, Vitt's body transformed into a crimson flame and instantly appeared before the purple-robed figure who had not spoken earlier.

Under the scorching heat, the Purple Robes covering the two figures even began to burn.

With a wave of his hand, Vitt seized one of the purple figures who had remained silent. With a pull, the purple robe directly fell from her body!

She was a cute young girl wearing purple armor, with crystalline purple hair.

However, simply judging from her appearance, it was obvious that this girl was not human.

A fluffy purple tail behind her was extremely conspicuous, her ears resembled a fox's, and a purple diamond-shaped scale rested between her brows.

Vitt held the girl in the air with one hand. She tried to struggle, but it was useless.

The other Purple-Clad Person, who had just been conversing with Vitt, instantly turned pale and tried to stop him, but likewise could do nothing.

"I rather admire your courage. With such little strength, you dared come to see me alone, and you even dared raise such conditions with me. You have not reached the divine level, nor are you even in the Saint Domain, yet you can speak human language and take on a half-human form. What fascinating magical beasts. Tell me the whereabouts of the item I seek obediently, and I can spare your lives and pretend that today's events never happened. Otherwise, I will tear open your bodies and properly study what exactly you are!"

Vitt snorted, and a trace of cruelty flashed through his eyes.

He did not believe that after threatening them like this, they would refuse to reveal the whereabouts of the Heart of Destiny.

"If you wish to kill us, then kill us. But once we die, no one will know the whereabouts of that thing anymore."

Contrary to Vitt's expectations, the other purple-robed figure ignored his threat and casually replied with those words.

"Hmph!"

Vitt had not been frightened into submission. After a cold snort, he tightened his grip once more.

Even a slight exertion of force from a Mid-God was not something ordinary living beings could endure.

At that moment, the Purple-Haired Girl in Vitt's grasp felt a suffocating sensation flood her mind, and her consciousness gradually grew hazy.

Vitt had not dealt a fatal blow, but if this continued, the Purple-Haired Girl would certainly not survive.

Just as the two sides remained locked in confrontation, waiting for one of them to relent, a calm voice suddenly rang out and entered the minds of everyone present.

"Enough, Vitt. Didn't the two of them want to see me? There is no need for you to waste any more effort forcing them to speak. Bring them directly to the Imperial Palace Hall to see me."

The voice was calm, yet filled with unquestionable authority.

"Lord Wyatt!"

Vitt's heart jolted. He immediately released his hand and respectfully bowed toward a certain direction.

Vitt would never forget Wyatt's voice for the rest of his life.

Vitt did not dare delay. Though unwilling, how could he dare defy Wyatt's command?

He could only obediently bring the two purple-clad figures to the Imperial Palace Hall.

Upon the throne in the great hall, Wyatt looked at the figures not far before him and revealed a faint smile.

"Interesting."

Having lived for so many years, this was also Wyatt's first time seeing magical beasts that had taken human form without reaching the divine level.

These two magical beasts who looked like young girls claimed to know the whereabouts of the Heart of Destiny. Wyatt suspected that they might have been affected by the Heart of Destiny, allowing them to take human form ahead of time.

"You two wanted to see me so badly. Do you think that, because of the item in your possession, you can raise conditions with me?"

Wyatt looked at the two figures before him and spoke casually.

"My lord, not only do we know where the item you have been offering rewards for is, but I believe you are also interested in the Purple Scale Fluid within our bodies."
