Kronos's thinking was sound; if Mr. Azik were willing to go, it would certainly relieve a lot of pressure on him.

As someone who became the Death Consul of Death over a thousand years ago and was Salinger's most valued child, Mr. Azik's strength is no less than that of Angel favored by the True God, such as Lady Arianna.

Even though His soul is not complete now, which may greatly affect His combat power, He is by no means weaker than an ordinary Angel.

With the help of two people, the pressure of facing an Archangel will be greatly reduced.

Moreover, what Kronos values most is not Mr. Azik's strength, but His identity.

The Numinous Episcopate originated in the Southern Continent, transformed from the Balam royal family and the Death God Church.

It is mainly divided into the Royalist Faction, the Artificial God of Death Faction, and other smaller factions such as the Sleep Faction and the Underworld Faction. The Royalist Faction is centered around the descendants of the Eggers Family and attempts to restore the rule of the Balam Empire; while the Artificial God of Death Faction attempts to revitalize the Uniqueness Artificial God of Death.

The Artificial God of Death Faction, led by the former High Priest of the Death God Church, Haiter, together with the Royalist Faction led by "Pale Empress" Sia Palenque Eggers, forms the two major factions of the Numinous Episcopate.

Although the Uniqueness of Death God was indeed successfully activated, Haiter suffered a significant corruption, preventing him from leaving his Tomb.

Furthermore, since the reactivated Artificial God of Death seemed to lack any personal will, the Artificial God of Death Faction was now almost leaderless, so the Royalist Faction ruled the Numinous Episcopate.

"Pale Empress" Xiya is a descendant of the Eggers Family with a relatively thin bloodline, but she is still a member of the Eggers Family after all, and with her good talent, she has the opportunity to rise to her current position.

But if Azik Eggers, the son of Death God and the Death Consul of the Balam Empire, were to reappear in this world, should the Royalist Faction support this descendant with a thin bloodline, or the son of Death God?

Xiya being the leader of the Royalist Faction, there will always be those who disagree with her.

Therefore, once Mr. Azik appears, divisions will inevitably arise within the Royalist Faction.

Even if Xiya had the ability to suppress all the disagreements, she would absolutely not dare to kill Mr. Azik.

The purpose of the Numinous Episcopate is to worship the Death God and restore the rule of the Balam Empire.

As a result, the leader of the Numinous Episcopate killed the Death God’s Son and the Death Consul of the Balam Empire. Wouldn't that cause the faith of those below to collapse?

So Kronos's plan was sound: as long as Mr. Azik was willing to go along, his safety would likely be guaranteed.

This choice is also a good thing for Amanises.

Mr. Azik's reappearance can be seen as a prelude to his later takeover of the Numinous Episcopate.

If Amanises then causes Xiya to experience another "accident," the Royalist Faction will be leaderless, and the Artificial God of Death may have already been replaced by Amanises. It would be reasonable to then push Mr. Azik to the position.

Mr. Azik could naturally understand what was going on.

Actually, He was somewhat reluctant to fight with Xiya, after all, she was also one of His descendants.

But He understood one thing very well: Amanises would one day take action against the Numinous Episcopate.

Now that the Uniqueness of Death God is in Amanises ' hands, this Evernight Goddess has qualified to ascend to the status of Dual-Pathway True God.

Once Amanises succeeds, how could He possibly ensure that the spiritual order of the God of Death is independent of His control?

Rather than having an even fiercer struggle later, it would be better for him to take action and gently help the Evernight Goddess take control of the Numinous Episcopate.

So after much hesitation, Mr. Azik finally nodded in agreement.

Surprisingly, it was Klein was most excited about Mr. Azik's agreement.

He knew relatively little, so he didn't fully understand the reasons behind it, but he did know one thing: Mr. Azik could live a normal life.

After Mr. Azik nodded in agreement, he first turned to Klein and said, "That's all for today. I'll take you home."

Mr. Azik didn't want Klein to get involved in any more trouble, so he planned to send him away first.

In truth, Kronos and Amanises didn't really care whether Klein existed or not, since they knew more about Klein than Mr. Azik.

Klein understood that things at Executives were not something he should know, so he had no lingering attachment to them.

Kronos said, "Why don't you give me the Coordinates, and I'll teleport him there directly?"

Both the Door Pathway and the Death Pathway possess the ability to travel through the Spirit World, but they also have subtle differences.

The Door Pathway can directly locate Coordinates and then teleport; it doesn't matter whether the person being teleported is the one using the ability.

However, the Death Pathway's Spirit World Traversal requires the user of the ability to travel there personally.

Therefore, if Mr. Azik wants to send Klein away, he will have to go there in person and then come back.

The Death God Mask of Kronos incorporates the Beyonder Characteristic of Traveler, thus possessing the ability to teleport.

Based on his understanding of the Death God Mask, Mr. Azik also sensed the power of the Door Pathway, so he knew that it would be more convenient for Kronos to deliver it to Klein, and therefore agreed.

After obtaining the Coordinates of Gurain City, Kronos immediately opened a teleportation portal, indicating that Klein could leave.

Klein looked at Mr. Azik with a hint of reluctance and said, "Then I'll be going. Please take care."

Mr. Azik smiled gently, then tossed the Copper Whistle over and said, "Remember to write to me. I'll come find you after my business is completely finished."

In a native region of the Southern Continent, there is a forest with a very strange environment.

Legend has it that no living person has ever been seen to emerge from this forest, so even the most experienced hunters dare not enter.

If you venture deeper into this forest, you will find a dark Tomb deep within it.

Tomb might not be a good thing for other Pathway, but for the Death Pathway, it's the most comfortable home.

This Tomb belongs to Xiya, and it is also a gathering place for the Royalist Faction and even the entire Numinous Episcopate.

Inside the Tomb is a throne upon which sits a woman with a cold Majesty air, wearing a crown.

This person is none other than the "Pale Empress" Xiya.

Most of the prominent figures in the Numinous Episcopate were gathered in this Tomb, discussing some matters.

First, there's the matter of the Angel of the Numinous Episcopate being entangled by Arianna.

Because of their Pathway, the Numinous Episcopate and the Church of Evernight are natural enemies, so their mutual hostility is to be expected.

However, there hadn't been any Angel Level conflicts for a long time, so this conflict left the members of the Numinous Episcopate completely baffled.

If the Church of Evernight intends to use this opportunity to declare war on the Numinous Episcopate, then the Numinous Episcopate must respond with caution.

So even though she knew her Angel was no match for Arianna, Xiya didn't act rashly. Instead, she decided to observe further, mainly because Arianna didn't seem to intend to kill her.

As for the second thing, it was that a slight change had occurred in the Berserk Sea.

The Berserk Sea was originally caused by the battle between True God, so it's normal for some anomalies to occur.

However, this anomaly has had a certain impact on the Beyonder of the Death Pathway. As long as Beyonder of Sequence 5 or above have sensed it, then this is no ordinary anomaly.

The Numinous Episcopate knows the location of the Death God's Tomb, but only Xiya and Haiter do.

Even if they knew, the two of them couldn't go in; they could only wander around outside.

Even the sacrificial rites for Haiter were only conducted on the edge of the Tomb.

Even so, Haiter was able to continue because he sensed a resonance within the Death God's Tomb.

Xiya strongly suspects that this strange occurrence was caused by the Death God's Tomb.

Others might not know what Artificial God of Death is, but how could Xiya not know?

That's the Uniqueness of Death God!

If she can get into the Death God's Tomb, Xiya will have a chance to obtain this Uniqueness.

What's the Artificial God of Death? You might as well become the real Death God and enjoy everyone's faith.

Of course, this goal is still a bit too ambitious.

However, if He obtains the Uniqueness of Death God, He can become a King of Angel, and perhaps He will really have a chance to rebuild the Balam Empire.

The Numinous Episcopate had long since lost hope of restoring its kingdom, but recently, Nast's ability to establish Pirate Duchy was the best encouragement for the Numinous Episcopate.

"I'm going to investigate the Death God's Tomb. If anything unexpected happens, I'll be able to deal with it immediately. We can't let His Majesty the Death Consul not find peace even in death!" Xiya said passionately, but the others naturally knew what she really wanted to do.

The first to oppose it were the Artificial God of Death Faction, because the existence of Artificial God of Death was, in a sense, intended to restrain Xiya.

Haiter was dissatisfied with Xiya, a leader with diluted bloodlines, which is why he continued to actively promote the belief in Artificial God of Death.

Haiter is naturally unable to come here now, but there are always people conveying His thoughts.

However, Xiya completely ignored what this person said.

In Xiya's view, the fact that He didn't kill him outright was already a sign of mercy.

Even if Haiter himself comes out to stop Him from going to the Death God's Tomb, He will definitely go.

Just as the argument was raging inside the Tomb, the Tomb suddenly trembled, and a powerful force of the Death Pathway emanated from outside the Tomb.

Angel- level power? Xiya thought it was Haiter himself who had come.

Then, a strange voice came from outside the Tomb: "Xiya, come out and see me."

As the sound faded, members of the Numinous Episcopate poured out of the Tomb, eager to see who this unfamiliar Angel of Death Pathway was.

Upon reaching the outside of the Tomb, two figures stood in mid-air: one was middle-aged, and the other was a young man.

These two are naturally Azik and Kronos.

Amanises had always been aware of the location with zero traffic, but because he coveted this power, he had never chosen to take action.

Therefore, Amanises provided a location Coordinates this time, and the two of them arrived directly at the Gate of the Numinous Episcopate.

After the members of the Numinous Episcopate came out, they looked at Azik standing in front of them and felt that he looked somewhat familiar.

Even those at Sequence 3 don't have the ability to live for thousands of years, so none of the people present had ever seen Mr. Azik in person.

Although I had seen the portrait of this Death Consul of Death, I couldn't immediately match the person with the painting.

Xiya stepped forward and asked, "May I ask what brings you two gentlemen here?"

The reason He was so polite was mainly because He didn't want to break off relations directly.

Mr. Azik is gentle by nature, but having regained his previous memories, it is quite easy for him to portray the former Death Consul of Death.

He glanced at Xiya and said, "Where is my father's Tomb? Tell me, and I'll leave immediately."

With just a few words, everyone present felt an extremely heavy aura.

Even though Xiya's Sequence is higher than Azik's, her experience is incomparable to Azik's; this is a complete crushing of power.

After Azik uttered those words, a highly senior member of the Royalist Faction behind Xiya shouted, "You are His Highness Azik! You're still alive!"

For the Numinous Episcopate, Mr. Azik's name was almost second only to Salinger's.

If the Balam Empire hadn't fallen, Mr. Azik would certainly have been the second king.

After this person recognized Mr. Azik, the others gradually matched Mr. Azik with the portraits they had seen before.

No one expected that Mr. Azik, who was believed to have been dead for thousands of years, would appear at this moment.

Kronos teased from behind, "Mr. Azik, you still have quite a bit of prestige."

Mr. Azik did not respond to Kronos's teasing, but simply continued to look at Xiya indifferently.

Xiya was in a bad mood at this moment.

He knew very well that he had reached his current position because of his good talent and his fast digestion of Potion.

Secondly, because He is of the Eggers Family bloodline, He is able to receive more support.

Now that an ancestor of the Eggers Family has suddenly appeared, His meager bloodline is really not enough.

As for talent, how could anyone doubt that Death God's son has poor talent?

Salinger didn't only have one son, but Balam only had one Death Consul, which proves everything.

If Salinger hadn't possessed all of the Pale Emperor's Beyonder Characteristic back then, Mr. Azik would certainly have been able to smoothly become Sequence One, or even the King of Angel, or even True God.

Furthermore, since Mr. Azik nominally possessed the right to inherit the Death God's Tomb, all of Xiya's plans were completely thwarted, so it's no wonder she was in a bad mood.
