Hearing this, Silvermoon Fiend hurriedly winked at Hodan. After all, Silvermoon had come this time to introduce Hodan to Huoxie and, incidentally, to ask Huoxie for help in forging weapons.
"Yes, yes, I have some." Realizing the situation, Hodan quickly took out the fine wine he had prepared long ago from his Space Ring. These were wines Hodan had prepared specifically to build relationships with various people. Not to mention that Hodan was currently asking for a favor, even just considering Huoxie's status as a Paragon, there were plenty of people lining up to gift him wine.
What Hodan held in his hand was a bottle of "Golden Clarity Wine."
Golden Clarity Wine was a renowned treasure, known to everyone in Hell. It could strengthen one's foundation, stabilize one's essence, and condense the soul, making it most suitable for God-level experts who had just broken through to a new realm.
At the same time, it had the miraculous effect of accelerating soul recovery when the soul was injured.
Most importantly, this wine was distilled from dozens of famous fine wines in Hell, incorporating the benefits of all of them while removing their drawbacks. Its taste was so exquisite that a group of alcoholics called it "the marvel of the world."
It took over a hundred jars of fine wine to condense the small bottle in Hodan's hand. The single bottle Hodan held was worth one hundred million Inkstones; a small bottle contained only about ten sips, and each sip was worth a High-God's life.
Hodan had only bought about ten bottles, mainly for life-saving purposes in case his soul was injured.
Gazing at the golden, alluring liquid in the bottle, the old drunkard Huoxie swallowed so hard it made a loud gulping sound, then snatched the Golden Clarity Wine from Hodan's hand. With a gulp, he downed a large mouthful, and his entire being was instantly dazed.
At this moment, everyone around him smelled that clear, crisp fragrance of wine. It was so fragrant that even Hodan sneezed and remarked, "That smells almost devilishly good..."
Come to think of it, Hodan hadn't even tasted it himself; it was mainly for life-saving. Although Hodan now possessed wealth nearing one hundred billion, he wasn't extravagant enough to drink wine that cost one hundred million per bottle. He could taste it if there was an opportunity in the future.
"It truly lives up to the name Golden Clarity Wine! Just one sip, and it's crisp, mellow, and rich... the benefits of various famous wines roll across your tongue one after another. And the aftertaste carries a faint, subtle tartness—it's brilliantly contradictory..." As he spoke, he poured another large mouthful into his mouth, then closed his eyes to savor the taste of the wine.
Huoxie snapped out of the deliciousness of the Golden Clarity Wine and turned to Hodan, saying, "Little brother, how much more wine do you have? Take it all out at once."
Hodan took out all the remaining Golden Clarity Wine and said with a bitter smile, "There are only nine bottles left; there isn't any more."
Hodan actually regretted it quite a bit. He had originally thought Silvermoon was just bringing him to meet an ordinary senior, not expecting it to be such a top-tier expert at the Paragon level. Hodan originally had plenty of fine wine, but fine wine depends on the person. For an expert of Huoxie's level, what kind of wine hadn't he tasted?
Opportunities to build a connection with a Paragon-level expert were rare. How many Asuras had painstakingly managed and flattered others just to get close to a Paragon? For someone like Huoxie who loved wine, finding such an easy opportunity was truly rare. If he missed this chance, Hodan would regret it for a long time.
Huoxie took the Golden Clarity Wine handed over by Hodan, then took a few more gulps, finishing the wine in the bottle.
"Ha, it's been a long time since I've had such good wine. The batch that the Silvermoon kid brought last time was finished long ago. Also, what is your name, kid? I've drunk your wine and still don't know who you are."
Silvermoon felt embarrassed on the side. As the City Lord of Silvermoon City, he usually had affairs to handle. Moreover, he wasn't stuck at the peak of the Asura realm like Huoxie; he was only a Seven-Star Fiend. He still had to cultivate, and he dreamed that one day he could reach the Asura realm like his elder brother, the Purple Blood Fiend.
Hearing that Huoxie's wine was finished, Hodan hurriedly took out all the fine wine from his Space Ring. He couldn't miss this chance to build a good relationship with Huoxie; he could just buy more fine wine later. While taking out the wine, he replied, "This junior is named Hodan. It is an honor for this junior that a senior would drink my wine."
As a drunkard, Huoxie found Hodan more and more pleasing to the eye as he kept providing him with wine. Huoxie unceremoniously accepted the wine Hodan handed over.
Silvermoon also began introducing Hodan to Huoxie on the side. When Silvermoon told Huoxie his speculation that Hodan had cultivated the Fate Law to the High-God realm in less than a hundred years, Huoxie was stunned.
Huoxie looked shocked and hurriedly confirmed with Hodan, "Did you really cultivate the Fate Law to the High-God realm in less than 100 years?"
"Yes," Hodan said calmly. "In fact, three years ago, my Fate Law was still at the Mid-God level! Big Brother Silvermoon can testify to this!"
"Really?" Hearing that Hodan had cultivated the Fate Law to the High-God realm in less than three years, Huoxie felt as if the Higher God was playing a joke on him.
Hodan replied, "Actually, if you count it, I've only been truly cultivating the Fate Law for less than ten years."
However, seeing Hodan's calm expression, and feeling that the aura of time on Hodan's Fate God Clone was indeed less than a hundred years, Huoxie believed that Hodan had truly cultivated the Fate Law to the High-God realm in less than a century.
Becoming a God in ten years, a Mid-God in a hundred, and a High-God in a thousand—there were such geniuses in the countless material planes and the Higher God Plane, but such people rarely reached the peak. The Mid-God realm was the best period for fusing profound mysteries. If Huoxie hadn't been in such a rush to become a High-God, he wouldn't be stuck at the peak of the Asura realm now, unable to become a Paragon. And that was for the elemental laws.
A High-God of the Fate Law in a hundred years was truly unheard of.
In fact, although this speed was fast, Hodan, who had been deeply poisoned by web novels, didn't feel it was anything special. In some cannibalistic-style novels, there were characters who reached the peak in just 10 years.
As a transmigrator, with the advantage of foresight and the ability to observe the protagonist—a person of uncertain fate—what could be more fitting for the cultivation of the Fate Law than this? Hodan was even eager to reach the peak immediately or leave the Coiling Dragon World and return to his daily life.
Not everyone can change the world, but when you go with the flow, you achieve resonance; a peaceful life is the mainstream of the world.
By now, Huoxie also understood Silvermoon's intention: he hoped that he would provide some guidance to Hodan and, if possible, forge some weapons for him. After all, with Hodan's talent, as long as he didn't fall, there would definitely be a place for him among the peak experts of Hell in the future.
It wasn't impossible for him to glimpse the mysteries of a Paragon in the future; after all, the Four Rules didn't have the concept of fusing profound mysteries. Even if Hodan couldn't reach the Paragon level, having one more peak expert as a friend would be beneficial to him.
Although Huoxie was a peak expert at the Paragon level, he was not a true Paragon and lacked the unique Willpower of a Paragon. It was only because of his Sovereign-artifact-level body and the three-piece Sovereign artifact set that he could fight a Paragon head-on. But without Willpower, Huoxie still couldn't resist the suction of spatial rifts; in other words, he could still be banished into the spatial turbulence.
