'The Banquet'

Of course, only the Elemental Clan Demon God could report this to the Steam Element who are now at the Half-Step Epic.

But for some reason, the Demon God, who should have received the message immediately, did not reply.

The Steam Element didn't pay any attention; the Demon God had been asleep for years, so it was perfectly normal that they hadn't received the message.

What they need to do now is to stabilize the situation with this man in front of them. As long as he's around, they feel that the Elemental Clan can unify the Abyss without any problem.

While they were waiting for the Demon God's banquet to begin, two elementalists in the courtyard had already broken through to the Legendary.

They had all been stuck at the peak of the Lord for many years, but now, with his help, they had finally taken that step.

At the same time, the Steam Element feels itself getting stronger, which indicates that his abilities are also useful for Epic.

However, the moment he had the thought of resisting him, this process of becoming stronger would immediately stop, which was quite strange.

It was as if this increase in strength was a gift from him.

"Sir, the banquet is about to begin, we need to go!" (Steam Element)

"Oh, so soon! Let's go!" said Old Wang, who was chatting enthusiastically with the elementals.

He found these elements to be not only very easy to talk to but also very polite, and chatting with them was a real pleasure.

Of course, you'd be happy if everyone around you flattered and chatted with you.

However, happy times are always short-lived, and Old Wang still had important things to do.

Today's actions are crucial to his safe return home, and this is no small matter.

Soon, Old Wang followed the elements to the Demon God Hall once again, but this time he entered with legitimate status.

This gathering, though called a banquet, was actually a meeting where the Demon God and gods of the Five Great Domains discussed the issue of who would win the championship.

That's right, to avoid certain issues, the champion of the Battle of Ten Thousand Domains is planned out.

It's practically impossible for Normal race to win the championship.

You should know that the champion of each tournament receives a Mythic Item.

This is one of the special conditions for each race to break through to the Epic; how could they possibly watch it fall into the hands of Normal races?

"The Elemental Clan has arrived!"

After the Elemental Clan and Old Wang entered, a voice suddenly shouted.

The sound startled Old Wang. He looked around and realized that the sound was coming from the statue at the door.

Although he found it amazing, Old Wang wasn't surprised. He followed the Elemental Clan quickly into the hall.

At this moment, all the Demon God and races, including the Third Demon God, had arrived in the hall, except for the Elemental Clan.

It seems they are late.

"You Elemental Race have quite the airs! You actually made the Demon God wait for you!"

Old Wang originally wanted to sit discreetly with the Elemental Race, but someone didn't want them to get away with it so easily.

The leader of the Flame Demons from the Yama Domain spoke.

Strictly speaking, Flame Demon should also be considered a type of Elemental Creature, except that they possess an additional Abyss attribute.

However, they and the Elemental Clan are at odds, possibly because the two races require mostly the same advancement resources, leading to frequent conflicts.

"I'm so sorry, Lord Demon God. I had a sudden inspiration just now and took that step, which is why I arrived just short of the finish line. I'm extremely sorry!"

Steam Element apologized verbally, but his actions showed no remorse whatsoever. He simply arranged for Old Wang and the tribesmen to sit down.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room looked at it, and their expressions varied upon discovering that it was indeed Half-Step Legendary being.

Some people were envious, some were jealous, and all sorts of emotions were written on their faces.

"Let's congratulate the Elemental Clan on gaining another Demon God, but it's a pity you can't participate in this competition."

"This competition is quite exciting. The Demon have come back again for some reason. It seems you won't have a chance to face them," the Third Demon God said with some regret.

Its current appearance is the same as the statue outside it, just a Normal giant over ten meters tall.

However, Old Wang knew that its true form was a giant White Tiger, and at this moment, it did not take the Demon seriously in its words.

"That's a bit of a pity, but in front of you, Lord Demon God, they are nothing but clowns."

"Whether we intervene or not is irrelevant; they've already been crippled and can't cause any trouble anyway," said the Steam Element.

The Demon God nodded and then announced the start of the banquet.

Some food was served, which meant that everyone was about to start discussing who would win the championship.

It's supposed to be a banquet, but the people in the room all have different menus. How can they possibly host a banquet?

Elementals and Flame Demon feed on energy, so their food consists of various kinds of minerals.

Since the Wyvern, Dragon, and ancient beasts all feed on various kinds of meat, the group couldn't eat together at all.

So the start of the banquet simply means that they can begin discussions.

Of course, there is still some food available, but nobody will eat it.

So they started a heated discussion, and neither side was willing to give in.

No one would complain about having more Epic in their race; there's no reason to give them up.

Although in the end it basically still follows the rules of rotation, this year it's almost certain that the Primordial Wilderness will be chosen.

But they still need to maintain the right attitude; after all, even if they don't win the championship, they still need to earn some other benefits for their region.

Watching them make such a racket, Old Wang was momentarily taken aback; it didn't quite fit their aloof persona.

What surprised Old Wang was that none of them asked him who he was.

What Old Wang didn't know was that the moment he appeared in the elemental faction, everyone present, except for the Third Demon God, had already categorized him as an element.

As for why the Third Demon God didn't reveal his identity, no one knows the reason.

Old Wang only glanced at their argument a few times before turning his attention away, focusing instead on Rocks.

Old Wang's first impression of this Anglerfish was that it was ugly, truly incredibly ugly.

It has a gourd-shaped head with a large mouth full of sharp teeth, but its eyes are unusually small, like two beans.

His face was full of fleshy muscles, and his skin was covered with spots.

If it weren't for the need to go home, Old Wang really wouldn't want to look at it a second time after the first glance.

Perhaps because Old Wang kept glancing at it, Rocks sensed it and looked back at Old Wang as well.

After exchanging a glance, the two immediately looked away, Old Wang afraid that his thoughts would be discovered.

As for Rocks, for some reason, a feeling of fear arose in its heart the moment their eyes met.

The next moment, after Rocks realized what had happened, a shameful anger rose from the bottom of its heart. It had actually been frightened by a Legendary second-tier elemental.

The region where Rocks resides is very close to the Elemental Domain, and it once led its people to fight against the elementals of the Elemental Domain.

However, at that time, it was already a Legendary Ninth Rank elemental being defeated by a Legendary seventh-tier elemental being, Elemental Clan became its inescapable nightmare ever since.

Later, by chance, it devoured its own people and used their power to help it become Demon God.

Then it wanted to take revenge, but it discovered in despair that the Elemental Clan actually had more than a dozen Demon God, and even the Fifth Demon God was backed by the Elemental Clan.

This left it in utter despair, as it had no way to retaliate.

But today, it was frightened by a Legendary second-tier element, which completely ignited its fury.

It looked at Old Wang and said directly, "What are you looking at? Don't you know you can't look directly at God?"

Old Wang: "???"

What's going on? I haven't even gone looking for trouble with it, and it's already attacking me?

"What? Afraid to watch?" Old Wang said nonchalantly.

"You seem pretty arrogant! Has no one taught you manners, you incompletely evolved creature?" Rocks.

This is a coordinated attack, and it's not just targeting Old Wang, but all elements.

The other elements wanted to say something, but Old Wang didn't give them the chance. How could Old Wang miss such an opportunity?

Because Old Wang spoke first:

"I only know that you can't look directly at a god during a sacrificial ceremony. Even the Third Demon God here hasn't said that, so why are you jumping in?"

Are you afraid to look? If you are, find a box and cover yourself up.

"Look how ugly you are, are you afraid people will throw up if you don't want them to look at you directly?"

The entire clan fell silent upon hearing Old Wang's words. They hadn't expected Old Wang to be so outspoken, actually directly cursing the gods.

Even if you're Elemental Clan, isn't this a bit reckless? Don't you want to never leave the Elemental Domain again before you become a god?

However, this is hardly a punishment for the NEETs (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) of the Elemental Clan.
