"What? You said end the war!" Elder Bru and the White Tiger Clan Leader were both startled. The two usually cold-blooded figures stared wide-eyed, as if they were wondering if they had misheard.
Unable to understand, Bernistan shouted angrily, "Impossible! We have a deep-seated hatred for the Eight Great Clans. They killed so many of our kin. This war will not end until they are all wiped out!" As a mid-level member of one of the Four Divine Beasts Clan, Bernistan did not have the vision of the White Tiger Clan Leader and the others. To him, the Eight Great Clans had killed many of his relatives and friends, and he would avenge them even if it meant his own death.
Andrew ignored Bernistan; he simply looked at Elder Bru and the White Tiger Clan Leader.
The two stared at Andrew for a while before realizing he wasn't joking.
After a long silence, the White Tiger Clan Leader said in a deep voice, "You haven't returned to the clan yet and don't understand the hatred between our clan and the Eight Great Clans. To end this war, one side must fall!"
He continued, "Our Four Divine Beasts Clan is renowned throughout countless planes, and the Eight Great Clans are not to be underestimated either. In fact, their power is even greater than ours. If it weren't for the protection of Lord Indigo Prefecture Mansion... ending this war would be impossible, unless we could attain strength comparable to Lord Indigo Prefecture Mansion!"
Elder Bru nodded solemnly. In his mind, although Andrew was strong, he was far inferior to Beirut. With his strength, it was nothing short of a pipe dream to think he could take down the Eight Great Clans.
"I know, you're talking about Lord Beirut, aren't you?" Andrew wasn't angry; it was perfectly normal for the other party to have doubts. The top aces of the Four Divine Beasts Clan, including the patriarchs of the Eight Great Clans, were all top-tier Asura powerhouses, each having fused five profound Mysteries. However, compared to Beirut, they were like infants compared to strong men—far inferior.
"I know that Lord Beirut's strength is comparable to that of Paragon expert, and I am not yet at that level. However, I believe that in a few hundred years, even if I cannot surpass him, I will not be far behind!" Andrew said loudly, with great confidence.
"Are you confident that you can achieve the Paragon within a few hundred years?" Elder Bru and the White Tiger Clan Leader couldn't help but ask. In their view, Andrew must have already fused with the five Mysteries, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to defeat Digelunsi. Hearing his words, the two couldn't help but guess that he was probably only one step away from the Paragon.
" Paragon, hehe." Andrew didn't answer directly. "In terms of strength, it's about the same. At least dealing with the Eight Great Clans wouldn't be a problem."
Andrew realized that once he perfectly integrated " Profound Mystery of Roundness " with "Explosion" and " Shattering," with the power of these three High-level Profound Mystery, he would far surpass ordinary Commander in terms of Mysteries abilities, and even rival those at the Paragon. The only thing he would lack was probably the Willpower.
"By then, my body will be further enhanced, no less than that of Bebe, who became Highgod. Not to mention my soul, it will definitely be no worse than Paragon cultivator. In addition, with my Innate Divine Ability, even an ordinary Paragon cultivator couldn't banish me." Andrew was very confident in this. Currently, he had only fused with a few parts of Mysteries, and his strength had already increased significantly. Once the fusion was complete, it would be even more immense.
Despite his absolute certainty, Elder Bru and the White Tiger Clan Leader were not entirely convinced. They even suspected that Andrew was deliberately making excuses to avoid the issue.
"He's only been Asura for two hundred years, yet he dares to say he can achieve Paragon within a few hundred years... Paragon, that's the highest peak among gods, how could it be so simple?"
The two shook their heads slightly. The Four Divine Beasts Clan had been passed down for countless years. The four clan leaders were descendants of the Sovereign and had cultivated for countless years, yet they were still stuck at the last step. The person in front of them had only managed to fuse with the Sovereign Essence Blood by chance, yet he dared to say that he could break through and achieve the Paragon. He was rather ignorant of his own limitations.
Andrew naturally sensed their suspicions, but he had no way to prove it. Elder Bru skipped over this point and tried to persuade Andrew again, hoping that he would send forces to help the Four Divine Beasts Clan right now. However, Andrew had made up his mind and would not change his mind no matter what the two said.
"You..." The White Tiger Clan Leader was angry and suddenly stood up.
Elder Bru stopped him, saying, "Forget it. Our Four Divine Beasts Clan hasn't stooped to the point of forcing others!" Among the Four Divine Beasts Clan, Elder Bru wasn't the strongest, but he had the highest aspirations. Seeing that Andrew was reluctant to refuse, he didn't want to force him.
" Bernistan, you're coming back with us." Elder Bru said coldly, turning around without even glancing at Andrew.
Bernistan had no right to refuse and followed the two out of the castle. Andrew wanted to keep him, after all, he had followed him for over two hundred years. He knew that the battle between the Four Divine Beasts Clan was in full swing, and with Bernistan's strength, going back now would be tantamount to suicide. However, looking at Elder Bru walking ahead, Andrew couldn't say a word. After all, this was a matter for the Four Divine Beasts Clan, and he considered himself an outsider who shouldn't interfere.
"Elder Andrew," Bernistan suddenly turned back before leaving, "You said you would return to the family, didn't you?"
"Of course!" Andrew paused for a moment, then said casually, "I'm a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. I will definitely repay the favor done to the Four Divine Beasts Clan."
Bernistan laughed, "I knew it. Elder Andrew, I'll be waiting for your return in the family!"
As he watched him leave, Andrew suddenly felt a pang of guilt.
"I hope to see you again," he said silently in his heart.
The members of the Four Divine Beasts Clan arrived quickly and left just as fast. Having confirmed Andrew's intentions, Elder Bru and the White Tiger Clan Leader said nothing. However, their impression of Andrew was naturally not good.
Andrew didn't care about this. He could sense that the Four Divine Beasts Clan was still incredibly proud. If it were any other clan, they would definitely try their best to establish a relationship with an Asura powerhouse, but what about the Four Divine Beasts Clan? They couldn't reach an agreement and turned to leave.
"We're ultimately not meant to be together," Andrew sighed inwardly. Aside from that past grievance, Andrew didn't want much contact with the Four Divine Beasts Clan. There was no emotional foundation between them, and their goals were different. Andrew sought challenges and transcendence, a difficult path, and he didn't have the energy to carry any other burdens.
The arrival of the Four Divine Beasts Clan put some pressure on Andrew. Every time he thought about the Four Divine Beasts Clan, he felt a burden, because he owed them a favor.
"We need to resolve this as soon as possible!" Andrew said with a wry smile.
To resolve the issue of the Four Divine Beasts Clan, one must possess overwhelming strength. Andrew estimates that, given his current speed of deducing the Laws, he will be able to fuse the three Mysteries within a thousand years at the latest. At that time, without the emergence of the Paragon realm, Andrew will be an invincible existence.
However, he was still not satisfied with this speed, especially when he thought of Bernistan's words before he left... Andrew hoped that he could repay this debt of gratitude within four hundred years.
"To improve one's strength, Mysteries fusion is one way, and enhancing soul and physical power is another. Regarding the soul, there are ' Soul Stone,' but as for enhancing the physical body... my current physical body is already between Divine Spark and Highgod Artifact; only after Dragonform will it be comparable to Divine Spark. That's still not enough!"
Andrew gazed into the distance. "I absorbed the Azure Dragon Essence Blood from the Azure Dragon Ring, which allows me to enhance my physical body with the Sovereign’s Might. In the original book, Linley used a drop of the Sovereign’s Might, and his physical body underwent a significant enhancement. If I use a few more drops, achieving Divine Spark in my physical body won't be difficult!"
Thinking of the Sovereign’s Might of the Sovereign’s Might, Andrew recalled the idea of auctioning it off. At this time, he was extremely short of Inkstone, and the auction of the Sovereign’s Might was very tempting to him.
After weighing the pros and cons of auctioning the Sovereign’s Might for more than two hours, Andrew finally made up his mind.
"Relying on the income from the Bloodflame Prefecture and Pusluo's extermination efforts, it would take at least ten years to accumulate over a hundred trillion Inkstone. But auctioning off the Sovereign’s Might yields several times the profit per drop... With enough Sovereign’s Might, my physical body can rapidly strengthen..."
Andrew clenched his fist and decided to hold the auction.
Auctions are common in the Infernal Realm; basically, every city has one. However, compared to trading places like Fiend Castle, auctions are much less successful. This is because treasures are scarce in the Infernal Realm, while cultivation resources like potions and artifacts are relatively abundant. The value of these items is relatively stable, making them more convenient to purchase at trading places.
It's fair to say that very few items are worth auctioning.
"To get a good price for the Sovereign’s Might, we first need to spread the word about this auction!"
Andrew was very confident in organizing the auction because what he was auctioning was none other than the Sovereign’s Might. The Sovereign’s Might was a priceless treasure for everyone. There were countless reclusive powerhouses and wealthy families in the Infernal Realm, and these people were not lacking in Inkstone. As long as the message was relayed to them, Andrew had no worries about not getting a good price for the Sovereign’s Might.
How can we get the message out as quickly as possible?
