Yulan Empire, Olivier's residence.

"Big Brother, you are going to the Graveyard of the Gods soon. I hear it's very dangerous." Blumer and Julie had come to the Yulan capital to visit Olivier.

"What danger could there be? Don't worry," Olivier said dismissively. "Come here, Kaser, let Uncle hold you?"

Since Olivier took on disciples and settled in the Yulan capital these past two years, this was not the first time Blumer and Julie had visited. What made Olivier happy was that a year after their marriage, Blumer and Julie had given him a nephew.

The little guy was named Kaser.

He was four years old now, looking bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, and very clever.

"Kaser, call your uncle." The last time they met, the little guy was still a baby, and seeing Olivier again, he didn't recognize him.

Speaking of Kaser's name, the High Priest's name was Catherine, and his own nephew was Kaser; Olivier always felt it was a bit strange.

"Uncle." Kaser called out to Olivier, and Olivier pulled the little guy into his arms, teasing him for a while.

"Big Brother, you like children so much, you should have one of your own," Blumer said, glancing at Sophie and Jessica nearby.

"I will, it's only a matter of time. Haha," Olivier brushed it off.

Currently, his two women, Sophie and Jessica, were not yet very strong. Their main task was to improve their strength, and having children would take up too much of their time, so even if they were willing, Olivier had not agreed to it.

"Big Brother, my grandmaster said the mortality rate in the Graveyard of the Gods is extremely high. You must be careful when you enter," Blumer remained worried about Olivier's safety.

"Don't worry, you two. The high mortality rate only applies to the Saint-level. Look at the High Priest and the War God; they have gone in so many times and are still perfectly fine. Rest easy, Blumer."

"Besides, I plan to leave my original body behind. Blumer, Julie, you two should stay here until the Graveyard of the Gods closes. If you have any questions about cultivation, you can ask me. Look at Julie, she is still at the ninth rank; you need to break through as soon as possible. It's also a good opportunity to give Kaser a stable environment to grow up in."

Olivier felt that the future situation on the Yulan Continent would be quite complex. He remembered that by the time Linley and the others returned from the Graveyard of the Gods, there should already be God-level powerhouses who had escaped from Gobada Prison.

Keeping them in the Yulan capital would prevent any accidents.

"Big Brother, we will listen to you." Blumer looked at Julie, exchanged a glance, and nodded.

Yulan Calendar, year 14, Yulan Empire.

Olivier's Light and Darkness divine clones also returned to the Yulan Empire, preparing to head to the Forest of Darkness with Catherine.

Just as dawn broke, Catherine and Olivier's Light and Darkness clones, along with Simba and twenty-two other Saint-level powerhouses, flew toward the Forest of Darkness in a grand procession.

"Victoria, don't worry. We will be back soon after this trip; this time, only the Saint-levels are entering the Graveyard of the Gods." Olivier's original body stood with Victoria, watching Catherine and the others fly away.

Olivier had told her some of the secrets regarding the Graveyard of the Gods. After all, Catherine would be gone for such a long time that he couldn't hide it, nor did he need to.

Victoria was very clever. She was like an adult now; nothing could be hidden from her, she understood everything, and in every aspect, she was a true genius.

Soon, the group arrived outside Beirut's metal castle.

It was the first time Olivier had seen such a thing—a metal beast that could transform and change size; it was truly miraculous.

There was no one outside the castle yet; Olivier and Catherine were the first to arrive.

According to custom, the Saint-levels waited outside, while the God-level powerhouses entered the castle to pay their respects to Beirut.

He was finally going to meet Beirut—the hidden boss.

Olivier felt a sense of anticipation.

Entering the metal castle, there was an old man inside.

His long black hair was loose, and his long black beard reached his chest. He wore a simple black robe and looked like an ordinary old man, but Olivier could sense an aura of danger.

It was as if a prehistoric beast were waiting to devour him; it was suffocating.

Needless to say, this was Beirut, the boss of the Yulan Continent.

Feeling Beirut's aura, Olivier knew this was Beirut showing his power; otherwise, he would never have been able to sense his presence at all.

"Greetings, Lord Beirut!"

"Greetings, Lord Beirut!"

Olivier and Catherine bowed respectfully in haste.

"Olivier, to be able to fuse the Laws of Light and Darkness—your talent is something even I envy," Beirut's eyes were small, yet incredibly sharp, as deep and vast as a brilliant starry sky. A smile played on his face.

As he spoke, the terrifying aura vanished with the wind, and he once again looked like a truly powerless old man.

"I have just been cultivating haphazardly; I hope Lord Beirut can offer some guidance," Olivier said modestly.

"Haha, 'haphazardly' and you managed to become a God in both paths in just a few decades? There haven't been many like that on the Yulan Continent in countless years. You are quite good. Regarding the Laws of Light and Darkness you cultivate—I don't understand the Laws of Light, but as for the Laws of Darkness, I can discuss them with you when there is time."

He hadn't expected that a mere polite remark would lead Beirut to actually offer to guide him. Olivier was still a bit pleasantly surprised; one had to know that in the original story, although Beirut praised Olivier's talent, he never offered any guidance.

He had no real connection to Beirut, and no matter how talented he was, he couldn't be selected for his Sovereign plan.

At Beirut's level, unless one was a Grand Perfection, he wouldn't even look at them twice.

"Then I thank you in advance, Lord Beirut." He said he would discuss it when there was time, but clearly, now was not the moment.

Although Olivier was eager to ask for advice, the Graveyard of the Gods was about to open, and other God-level powerhouses could arrive at any moment; now was not the time.

"You two wait on the side for the others."

Whenever a Deity-level expert entered the castle to pay their respects, Beirut would not get too close due to the vast disparity in their strength, and without his permission, no one else dared to act presumptuously.

Soon.

The War God, Dylin, Rutherford, and Cesar entered from outside, accompanied by Bebe.

"Grandpa Beirut." As soon as Bebe entered, he darted into Beirut's arms.

"Bebe is here." Beirut was very happy, looking like a kind-hearted grandfather at this moment.

After Bebe secured a spot in the Graveyard of the Gods for Barker, he slipped out of Beirut's arms and ran off to find Linley.

Beirut shook his head; he knew that in Bebe's heart, Linley was closer and more important than he was.

"Greetings, Lord Beirut." Once Bebe had left, the four of them finally had the chance to bow respectfully.

"Good, everyone is here. Hehe, this time it will be lively, with six Deity-level experts." Beirut seemed very pleased that there were so many people this time.

Only Olivier knew that the Graveyard of the Gods was simply a game for him to pass the time, so naturally, he was happy to have more people to play with.

Old monster, pervert, Olivier thought to himself.

"The Graveyard of the Gods is an opportunity granted to you by the great Sovereign. There are many artifacts and Godheads within that you desire; of course, it is both an opportunity and a challenge. While you can obtain corresponding treasures, the danger is also immense. As I manage the Graveyard of the Gods on behalf of the Sovereign, I truly hope that a few experts will emerge from the Yulan Continent capable of obtaining the Sovereign's treasures, so you must do your best."

"Catherine and the War God have already participated many times. As for you four, you have yet to participate in the Deity-level Graveyard of the Gods. Dylin and Olivier, you have never participated even once. My advice to you is that the Graveyard of the Gods is fraught with danger, so you must be extremely cautious."

This was the kickoff meeting for the opening of the Graveyard of the Gods, with the leader delivering his speech.
