Yulan Empire.
In a cave outside the imperial capital, Simba lived with his two lovers, Nana and Sally. They were unaccustomed to human houses and preferred the wild.
"I, the great Snow Lion Simba, will definitely become a god-level expert through my own efforts."
Ever since returning from the Graveyard of the Gods, Simba had been confident that he could break through to the god level on his own.
But ten years had passed, and he still had not found a way to break through.
"Simba, come out for a moment."
The cave was located near the mountaintop, high up and somewhat secluded, rarely visited by anyone, with exceptionally beautiful scenery. Outside lay a broad clearing, beside which stood a large tree, surrounded by flowers and grass. Beyond that was a cliff, from where one could look into the distance and see the road leading to the imperial capital.
This was Olivier's first time coming to Simba's dwelling.
Simba, who had been resting with his eyes closed, received Olivier's divine sense transmission.
"Boss, you're here." Simba opened his eyes, overjoyed.
In the past, Simba and the other two had been responsible for protecting Sophie and Jessica. But with Olivier around these past years, there had been no need for them, so they had remained here.
"Ah, Boss came looking for me. Boss has never personally come looking for me before."
Now that Olivier's strength had reached the point where Saints were mere ants, Simba felt that he was about to be abandoned.
Whoosh!
Simba left the cave.
"Boss, were you looking for me?" Simba asked when he saw Olivier standing outside.
"Take these. Two lower god sparks." Olivier handed the two lower god sparks to Simba.
"Ah, Boss, these are for me?" Simba stared at the god sparks, utterly stunned.
