Beirut

Yulan Empire, Olivier's residence. WWWCOM

"Big Brother, you're about to enter the Graveyard of the Gods. I heard it's very dangerous." Blumer and Julie had come to the Yulan Imperial Capital to visit Olivier.

"What danger could there be? Don't worry. Kaiser, come here. Let your uncle hold you."

Since Olivier had taken disciples, Blumer and Julie had not come to the Yulan Imperial Capital for the first time over the past two years. What delighted Olivier was that, one year after their marriage, Blumer and Julie had given him a nephew.

The little fellow was named Kaiser.

He was already four years old, sturdy and bright-eyed, and very clever.

"Kaiser, call him Uncle." The little fellow had still been too young during their last meeting. Now, when he saw Olivier again, he no longer recognized him.

Whenever he thought of the name Kaiser—the High Priest was named Catherine, while his own nephew was named Kaiser—Olivier always found it somewhat strange.

"Uncle." Kaiser called out to Olivier, who picked the little fellow up and played with him for a while.

"Big Brother, since you like children so much, you should have one yourself." Blumer glanced at Sophie and Jessica beside him.

"I will. Sooner or later. Heh heh." Olivier brushed it off with a single sentence.

At present, his two women, Sophie and Jessica, were not yet very strong. Their main priority was improving their strength, and having children would delay them considerably. Thus, even though both were willing, Olivier had never agreed.

"Big Brother, my senior apprentice brother said that the Graveyard of the Gods has an extremely high mortality rate. You must be careful when you enter it." Blumer remained worried about Olivier's safety.

"Don't worry. The high mortality rate only applies to Saint-level experts. Look at how many times the High Priest and the War God have entered; aren't they still perfectly fine? Rest assured, Blumer."

"Besides, I plan to leave my original body behind. Blumer, Julie, the two of you should stay here until the Graveyard of the Gods closes. That way, you can ask me about any cultivation questions you have. Julie is still only at the ninth rank and needs to break through as soon as possible. It will also give Kaiser a stable environment to grow up in."

Olivier felt that the Yulan Continent's future situation would be rather complicated. He remembered that by the time Linley and the others returned from the Graveyard of the Gods, God-level experts should already have escaped from Gobada Prison.

Keeping them in the Yulan Imperial Capital would prevent any accidents.

"Big Brother, we'll listen to you." Blumer exchanged a look with Julie before speaking.

Yulan Calendar, year 14, month day, Yulan Empire.

Olivier's Light Element and Darkness God Clones had also returned to the Yulan Empire, preparing to head to the Forest of Darkness with Catherine.

As dawn broke, Catherine and Olivier's Light Element and Dark Clones set off for the Forest of Darkness with Simba and twenty-two Saint-level experts.

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

Olivier had told her some of the Graveyard of the Gods' secrets. After all, Catherine would be gone for so long that it could not be concealed, nor was there any need to.

Victoria was very intelligent. She was already like an adult; there was nothing that could be hidden from her, and she understood everything. In every respect, she was a true genius.

Before long, the group arrived outside Beirut's Metal Castle.

It was Olivier's first time seeing such a thing. A metal creature that could transform and enlarge itself—it was truly miraculous.

There was not a single person outside the castle. Olivier and Catherine were the first group to arrive.

By convention, the Saint-level experts waited outside while the God-level experts entered the castle to pay their respects to Beirut.

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

Olivier was somewhat expectant.

Inside the Metal Castle stood an old man.

His long black hair hung loose, and his equally black beard reached his chest. He wore a plain black robe and looked like an ordinary old man, yet Olivier could sense a dangerous aura from him.

It was like a primordial beast waiting to devour its prey, making the atmosphere unbearably oppressive.

There was no need to say it—this was Beirut, the Yulan Continent's boss.

Sensing Beirut's aura, Olivier knew that Beirut was deliberately displaying his power. Otherwise, there was no way Olivier could have sensed his aura at all.

"Greetings, Lord Beirut!"

"Greetings, Lord Beirut!"

Olivier and Catherine hurriedly bowed respectfully.

"Olivier, to be able to fuse the Laws of Light and the Laws of Darkness, even I envy your talent." Beirut's eyes were small but exceptionally bright, like a dazzling starry sky—deep and boundless. A smile rested on his face.

As he spoke, the terrifying aura vanished with the wind. Looking at him again, he seemed like a truly ordinary old man with no abilities at all.

"I have merely cultivated blindly. I hope Lord Beirut can offer me guidance." Olivier spoke humbly.

"Heh heh. Cultivating blindly, yet becoming gods in both aspects within only a few decades—there have been very few like you on the Yulan Continent over countless years. You are quite remarkable. I do not understand the Laws of Light you cultivate, but as for the Laws of Darkness, when I have time, I can discuss them with you."

Olivier had not expected that a casual polite remark would make Beirut genuinely willing to guide him. He was somewhat flattered. In the original story, although Beirut had praised Olivier's talent, he had never guided him at all.

Olivier had no particular connection to Beirut. No matter how outstanding his talent was, he could not be selected for Beirut's Sovereign plan.

At Beirut's level, unless one was a Paragon, he would not even spare them a glance.

"Then I must thank Lord Beirut in advance." There would be time to speak with him later; clearly, this was not the moment.

Although Olivier dearly wished to seek his guidance, the Graveyard of the Gods was about to open, and the other God-level experts could arrive at any time. This was not the time.

"You two, wait to the side for the others."

Each time, the God-level experts entered the castle to pay their respects. Because the gap in strength was too great, Beirut would not be overly familiar with them, and without Beirut's permission, no one else dared say much.

Very soon.

The War God, Dylin, Rutherford, and Cesar entered from outside. Bebe came in with them as well.

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

"Bebe is here." Beirut was extremely happy, looking every bit the kind old grandfather.

Bebe had asked Beirut for a place in the Graveyard of the Gods for Barker. Then 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 to him and more important than he was.

"Greetings, Lord Beirut." Only after Bebe left did the four have a chance to speak, immediately bowing respectfully.

"Good, everyone is here. Heh heh, this time will be quite lively—there are six God-level experts." Beirut seemed very pleased that so many people had come this time.

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

Old monster. Freak.

"The Graveyard of the Gods is an opportunity granted to you by the great Sovereign. The divine artifacts and divine sparks you desire can be found in abundance within the Graveyard of the Gods. Of course, where there are opportunities, there are challenges. If you wish to obtain the corresponding treasures, the danger will also be immense. I manage the Graveyard of the Gods on behalf of the Sovereign, and I also hope that several powerful experts will emerge from the Yulan Continent and obtain the Sovereign's treasures. So, do your best."

"Catherine and the War God have participated many times. As for the four of you, you have never taken part in a God-level Graveyard of the Gods. Dylin and Olivier, neither of you has participated even once. My advice to you is this: the Graveyard of the Gods is fraught with danger. You must be cautious and careful."

This was the opening meeting for the Graveyard of the Gods, with the leader giving a speech.
