Supreme God Token, Appearance of the Five-Colored Blood Crystal

"Yes, City Lord. Elder Emmanuel has been here for three days, accompanied by some of the younger generation of the Four Divine Beasts Clan. It seems they are merely here for a tour."

Lucius glanced cautiously at Stuart and spoke in a low voice.

"Where are the people from the Four Divine Beasts Clan now?"

Stuart and his butler followed behind Cromwell and his group, intentionally keeping some distance while communicating via voice transmission.

"Right now, Elder Emmanuel is at the Battle Arena, and the rest of the Four Divine Beasts Clan are there too. It looks like Elder Emmanuel wants to secure a hundred-win streak to show the younger generation."

Lucius knew what Stuart was concerned about and immediately relayed everything he had observed and deduced over the past few days.

"I understand. Arrange for people to keep an eye on the movements of the Four Divine Beasts Clan, but remember, do not disturb them."

Stuart gave Lucius a brief instruction before quickening his pace slightly to catch up.

Seeing this, Lucius nodded respectfully, and his avatar immediately began to act, leading a portion of the Fiend Castle personnel into the Battle Arena.

I didn't expect the Four Divine Beasts Clan to show up at a time like this. I hope nothing goes wrong.

Stuart sighed inwardly, feeling a slight headache as he pondered the situation.

The Four Divine Beasts Clan was the premier clan in Hell; some even considered them the premier clan of the entire Divine Plane. As a mere Seven-Star Fiend, Stuart naturally dared not offend them.

However, for the past million years, the Four Divine Beasts Clan had acted increasingly erratically for reasons unknown, and many had been caught in the crossfire. Stuart couldn't guarantee he wouldn't encounter such trouble, so he had to be cautious.

On the other side, at the Battle Arena, Emmanuel used his dragon claws to swiftly defeat his final opponent, successfully achieving a forty-win streak.

"Too weak. How truly boring!"

Emmanuel stepped down from the stage calmly. Despite his words about it being too weak and boring, a faint smile played on his lips.

Some people enjoy fighting the strong to constantly improve themselves, while others enjoy fighting the weak to display their strength and relish the feeling of overwhelming control over others. Emmanuel clearly belonged to the latter.

"Elder, you were so cool just now!"

As Emmanuel stepped off the stage, a dozen teenagers gathered around him, chattering incessantly.

Emmanuel gave a light snort, his lips curling slightly upward; he clearly enjoyed the flattery from the younger disciples.

"Elder, there is something I would like to report to you."

On the way back to their residence, a blue-haired youth leaned in close to Emmanuel and whispered via voice transmission, looking cautious.

"Oh? What is it?"

Emmanuel raised an eyebrow, sounding somewhat surprised.

"Elder, news has come from the Fiends of Diyi City that a rare treasure of heaven and earth has appeared in the nearby Black Dragon Tribe. Do you think we should..."

The youth glanced around before transmitting his voice to Emmanuel. As the person in charge of the Zijing Continent, the youth, Kedun Reding, naturally knew that a million years ago, the clan's ancestors had issued an order for clansmen to collect such rare treasures.

"Oh? A rare treasure of heaven and earth? What kind is it?"

Emmanuel lifted his eyelids, not showing much interest, but he asked nonetheless.

It was no secret that the Four Divine Beasts Sovereign had ordered the clansmen to collect various rare treasures of heaven and earth a million years ago.

However, Emmanuel had little interest in this. It wasn't that he didn't want to earn the ancestors' approval, but rather that no one had ever actually completed this task.

After the ancestors' order was issued a million years ago, many elders of the Four Divine Beasts Clan began to mobilize, collecting quite a few rare treasures one after another. But after bringing them back to the clan, not a single one had satisfied the ancestors.

As time passed, some elders gave up. Those like Emmanuel, who preferred to enjoy life, began to adopt an attitude of indifference, treating it as a matter of chance—after all, the order had no time limit.

"Elder, this particular treasure is very special. It is said to be a Five-Colored Blood Crystal containing five colors. The energy inside can amplify physical strength. A Mid-level God once used it to kill a High-level God."

Seeing that Emmanuel didn't seem very interested, the blue-haired youth Kedun reported with a hint of anxiety.

As the person in charge of the clan's branch in the Zijing Continent, if he could present a treasure that satisfied the ancestors, he would certainly receive a reward from the clan. Therefore, he was very invested in this mission.

Although Kedun wanted to complete the mission himself, according to the information he had gathered, several Six-Star and Five-Star Fiends were currently fighting over the Five-Colored Blood Crystal, including some who were bandits by trade. Kedun feared his own strength was insufficient, which was why he had to ask Emmanuel for help.

"Is that so? Then let's go take a look, once I've finished with the matters at the Battle Arena."

Emmanuel nodded in a flat tone. He held no real hope for the effects of this Five-Colored Blood Crystal.

After all, much of the news from Fiend Castle was just hearsay. Emmanuel didn't believe the so-called "amplifying physical strength to allow a Mid-level God to kill a High-level God" claims. He figured it was just another ordinary treasure and didn't take it to heart.

Elsewhere, inside the Diyi Restaurant in Diyi City, Cromwell and his group continued their casual conversation after being seated, while Stuart stood not far away.

"Mr. Cromwell, you have helped us with quite a few things during this time. Thank you very much. Tomorrow, the two of us will be leaving."

Dili picked up her wine glass, revealed a gentle smile, and expressed her intention to bid farewell.

"Oh? Is that so? Well then, Miss Dili, Miss Ninisha, remember to look for me next time you come to Yemu Prefecture."

Cromwell laughed heartily and did not press them to stay; for both parties, this was enough.

"Of course." Dili nodded with a gentle expression, and Ninisha nodded slightly as well, signifying her agreement.

"By the way, you two, I just received news not long ago that a rare treasure of heaven and earth has appeared in the Black Dragon Tribe. If you are interested, you might want to go take a look."

Cromwell swirled his wine glass and offered the reminder in a casual tone.

"Oh? A rare treasure of heaven and earth?"

Dili wore a look of slight surprise on her face, but she quickly regained her composure and looked toward Ninisha.

As a Sovereign Envoy, most are assigned a task by their Sovereign to collect rare treasures of heaven and earth to offer up, though this task comes with no restrictions on time or quantity.

Sovereigns collect these rare treasures partly because they feel bored over endless eons, and partly to sift through the sands for gold, hoping to find some treasure capable of enhancing their strength; since Sovereigns themselves do not constantly sweep the divine planes with their divine sense, many Sovereigns issue this collection task to their envoys.

However, Sovereign Envoys do not take it to heart; eons ago, there were envoys who put their whole heart into collecting these treasures, hoping to present a satisfactory one to their Sovereign in exchange for a reward.

Yet, it was later proven that rare treasures capable of pleasing a Sovereign are extremely scarce, and no Sovereign Envoy has ever found one, so as time passed, the envoys simply began to take it as they pleased.

"I wonder, what kind of rare treasure is it?"

Dili's cyan pupils shifted, and then, showing a hint of interest, she could not help but ask.
