Decision

Of course, because so much time had passed and most of the powerhouses from that era had already perished, only a few Overgods were aware of these matters.

However, Aier was different; he seemed to have appeared out of thin air. Over the past few days, Daniel Chris had scoured most of the intelligence networks in Hell and contacted numerous friends, yet he had found no information regarding Aier.

For Aier to make such wild claims, it would be a lie to say that Daniel was not angry.

Yet, Daniel also knew that anger and rage were, in essence, nothing more than the fury of the incompetent.

Does this guy really take me for a soft persimmon?

However, I truly should make some preparations...

For people at their level, once words had been spoken, they would eventually act upon their will regardless of the reason.

Nevertheless, a sense of relief washed over Daniel Chris.

As one of the one hundred and eight Prefects standing at the pinnacle of Hell, he did not want to die just yet.

Even if he were defeated by Aier here, it was not as if he couldn't reclaim the position of Prefect elsewhere.

Just how strong Aier's power was, Daniel Chris could not discern.

But Daniel Chris knew that he might not be able to block the move Aier had displayed today!

If the battlefield were not restricted, then as a powerhouse who had fused seven Laws and Profound Mysteries of the Wind Element, Daniel Chris could have used his speed to maneuver around Aier.

Whether he could defeat Aier, Daniel Chris did not have much confidence.

But ensuring his own survival would not have been a problem.

It was just that the challenge for the position of Prefect was restricted to a specific area by the Overgods, rendering Daniel Chris's speed advantage completely useless.

Under such circumstances, Daniel Chris did not believe he had any chance of defeating Aier.

Now that Aier's attitude had made it clear that as long as he paid enough wealth, Aier would not kill him, Daniel Chris began to consider how much wealth he should pay to satisfy Aier's demands.

If I had known, I wouldn't have forced Assange and the others into a death match with Aier...

If I had, I could have estimated the price I needed to pay based on what they gave up...

In the end, Daniel Chris shook his head and began transferring the items he needed into a new Space Ring.

As the Prefect of Liang'an Prefecture, he did not have the face to ask others how much wealth they had paid, so he could only guess for himself.

If he lost the battle against Aier, this would be the guarantee that he could survive.

If he won, would Aier even dare to take what was in this Space Ring?

If I find an opportunity...

After removing his soul imprint from the Space Ring, a cold glint flashed in Daniel Chris's eyes.

Once Aier accepted his Space Ring, he could not kill him.

But that did not mean he could not kill Aier!

Against a powerhouse of the same level, if he could not block Aier's attacks, could Aier block his?

Do not forget, the Wind Element possessed the strongest single-target attacks among all the elemental laws!

Aier was unaware of Daniel Chris's thoughts.

But for the following two days, the smile on Aier's face never faded.

The ten opponents from the ninety-win streak and the ten from the hundred-win streak had brought Aier over ten billion Inkstones.

This meant Aier could purchase thousands of High-God Godheads.

With the time it would take Aier to refine these Godheads, he could push both his current Wind Element and Earth Element divine clones to the level of a Paragon.

Of course, what made Aier even happier was the Prefect of Liang'an Prefecture, Daniel Chris.

After Aier became a hundred-win powerhouse, he chose to challenge the Prefect directly, and Daniel Chris had responded, agreeing to a battle with Aier in three days.

After the Wind Element and Earth Element, I shall choose the Water Element.

After silently calculating the number of Godheads in his Space Ring, Aier made his decision.

The Wind Element had the strongest single-target attacks, while the Earth Element had the strongest material defense and decent area-of-effect attack power.

Whether he refined the Fire Element Godheads first or the Water Element Godheads first made little difference to Aier.

As long as the Godheads were in place, in at most five thousand years, Aier's Laws of the Earth would reach the realm of a Paragon.

In another five thousand years, Aier would become the only dual-element Paragon in the Coiling Dragon Universe.

Oh no!

Just as this thought crossed Aier's mind, he suddenly remembered that the task he had given Hector Boy was to exchange the family assets for Earth Element High-God Godheads.

But the Inkstones he currently possessed were already enough for Aier to purchase enough Earth Element High-God Godheads in Liang'an Prefecture to cultivate to the level of a Paragon.

By the time Hector Boy arrived in Liang'an Prefecture, the Earth Element High-God Godheads would be useless to him.

A miscalculation; I should have had a member of the Boy Family with a divine clone follow me at the time...

In the end, Aier shook his head.

In his initial plan, he would challenge the hundred-win streak, while Eric would lead his caravan to earn the funds needed to purchase Godheads to support his cultivation.

However, Aier did not think at that time that Eric would be able to earn enough Inkstone for him to break through to Paragon before he successfully challenged the Prefect.

The attachment of the Boy Family was, to the Aier of that time, the best choice to reach Paragon in a short period.

But Aier had not expected that after arriving at Liang'an Prefecture, everything would go more smoothly than he could have imagined.

In less than a month, he had not only completed the hundred-win streak but also earned enough Inkstone.

"Forget it, Godheads won't depreciate anyway."

"At worst, I can just have Hector Boy exchange the Earth Element High-God Godheads for other elements later."

Ultimately, Aier decided to use the Inkstone in his hands to purchase Earth Element High-God Godheads, allowing him to complete his breakthrough in the shortest possible time.

Becoming a Paragon sooner meant gaining the ability to protect himself in front of a Chief Sovereign sooner.

Otherwise, for anyone who is not a Paragon, a Chief Sovereign does not even need to descend in person; the Willpower of a Chief Sovereign projection alone could easily annihilate them.

In the Coiling Dragon Universe, only Willpower can contend with Willpower.

Aier would not be foolish enough to use his Inkstone to buy Wind Element High-God Godheads and wait for Hector Boy to arrive before continuing his Earth Element breakthrough.

After concentrating all the Inkstone into one Space Ring, Aier removed his soul imprint from it.

"Eric."

"Lord Aier."

Following Aier's call, Eric appeared before him, bowing.

"Go to Amethyst Castle and exchange all the Inkstone in this Space Ring for Earth Element High-God Godheads."

"Yes, Lord Aier."

After taking the Space Ring, Eric immediately went to carry out Aier's order.

He was Aier's steward; he did not need to consider the reason for Lord Aier's actions, only to execute Lord Aier's commands.

Of course, from Lord Aier's extraordinary progress, Eric could guess that the improvement of Lord Aier's strength was closely related to Godheads.

However, no matter how bold he was, he could never have guessed that Aier could directly refine Godheads and absorb the Laws and Profound Mysteries within them.

After all, before the appearance of the God-Slaying Rat, the living beings in the Coiling Dragon Universe could not have imagined that "invincibility at the same rank" truly existed in this world.

Unless one is a Paragon or possesses a Soul Defense Overgod Artifact, anyone in front of a God-Slaying Rat is nothing more than a snack.

The situation in Liang'an Prefecture had changed.

The outsider Aier, after thirteen days of effort, had forcefully become a hundred-win champion with an unprecedented momentum and had issued a challenge to the Prefect of Liang'an Prefecture, Lord Daniel Chris.

This news spread throughout the areas surrounding Liang'an Prefecture within three days.
