“Master, most of the experts have now mostly gathered at the center of Elysia…” A sweet voice emerged from deep within a world of flames.

“Is that so?” The soft murmur reverberated through the air, and the entire world of flames trembled, as if some ancient, terrifying power had been stirred from slumber. In response, the flickering flames leapt wildly, as though celebrating the awakening.

What was even more unnerving was the sight of all the flames surging in the same direction, as if they were bowing in reverence.

Following their gaze, one could see a massive Azure Dragon’s shadow rising from the ground, majestic and awe-inspiring.

*Booooooom…* The Azure Dragon slowly opened its eyes, a fearsome pressure surging forth from its gaze. Immediately, a figure came into view—a Fox, its fur shimmering like molten fire, with six tails trailing behind it, each one resembling dark red flames that lazily flickered against the ground. The Fox’s form was ethereal, its beauty so captivating and otherworldly that it seemed to steal the very breath from one’s lungs. Its elegance was unparalleled, like a living flame molded into perfection.

This Fox was the first Divine Beast under Yu Zi Yu’s command—Nine Tails, on whom Yu Zi Yu relied on the most. She possessed the most mysterious Bloodline from the previous era—the Celestial Fox Bloodline.

After training in the Realm of Fire for the past two years, Nine Tails had suddenly attained enlightenment, grasping the mysteries of the mind, and stepped into Tier-5.

Nine Tails had become the first individual under Yu Zi Yu to ascend to the rank of ‘True God.’

“True God’ was how Elysians referred to Transcendents who had reached Tier-5, a terrifying existence, whose full power was enough to destroy entire planets.

Such experts were rare in the current universe. Every single one of them was a supreme powerhouse in their respective Star Domains. They could even govern the life and death of billions across multiple planets.

In simple terms, even top-tier Star Domains like the Titan Star Domain and Angel Star Domain could not afford to ignore such powerful entities.

And now, Nine Tails had reached this level.

So, it was no wonder that hearing this long-awaited call caused Yu Zi Yu to awaken from his deep meditation.

“Good job.” As he briefly examined the current Nine Tails, a trace of a smile flickered in Yu Zi Yu’s eyes.

This was the first Mutant Beast he had raised to reach the True God Realm!

Even in the vast universe, Nine Tails could be called a pinnacle powerhouse. Yet, despite stepping into the terrifying realm of True Gods, Nine Tails remained as respectful as ever to him.

With a joyous smile in his heart, Yu Zi Yu looked at Nine Tails with increasing satisfaction.

However, after a moment, as if remembering something, Yu Zi Yu glanced into the depths of the starry sky and confirmed, “Indeed, most of them have gathered.”

Saying this, Yu Zi Yu turned his gaze back to Nine Tails and instructed, “Your mission is twofold: first, to intimidate the strong Transcendents, and second, to select suitable prodigies from Elysia and Earth for me to cultivate.”

“Understood, Master,” Nine Tails responded with a charming smile.

Immediately after, she stepped through the void rift that Yu Zi Yu had created and rushed toward Elysia without looking back.

In an instant, Nine Tails transformed into a red comet, vanishing at the end of the void rift.

…

Just after Nine Tails left…

“Sister Nine Tails is truly amazing. She managed to reach the True God Realm at such a young age.”

“Of course, Nine Tails has been following the Master from the very beginning…”

Sweet voices, as melodious as silver bells, echoed softly through the air before two graceful figures emerged.

The first had radiant golden hair, skin as white as snow, and striking blue eyes that seemed to reflect the depth of oceans. Below her slender, curvaceous waist, a shimmering golden mermaid tail flicked playfully, creating ripples in the air.

Yet, her most captivating feature was her ruby-red lips, from which a voice flowed so mesmerizing it could melt hearts with a mere word. This was Elsa, the Mermaid Queen, and one of Yu Zi Yu’s trusted Apostles, who had long resided in the Realm of Life, overseeing various affairs on his behalf.

Beside Elsa stood another figure whose beauty rivaled her own, perhaps even more regal and commanding. She was Fredrica, the Elf Queen—ruler of the Elf Clan in Elysia. Noble and extraordinary, Fredrica was a terrifying presence, having reached the Demigod Realm.

Now, she too had become one of Yu Zi Yu’s Apostles.

Together, the Mermaid Queen and the Elf Queen were known as God’s Assistants, Servants of God.

As for the ‘God’ they served, it was none other than Yu Zi Yu himself.

Additionally, there was one more thing that was noteworthy, and that was that no one dared to address Yu Zi Yu carelessly these days.

Perhaps it was because his strength had grown so vast, Yu Zi Yu seemed to have developed a sensitivity toward how people referred to him.

When someone called out Yu Zi Yu’s name with great intensity, especially with malice, the image and voice of the person calling would appear in his mind. Of course, only someone with enough ability to attract Yu Zi Yu’s attention could achieve this. Otherwise, he would not bother to notice.

With this kind of ability, and the fact that Yu Zi Yu had reached the terrifying level of Tier-6, the way everyone addressed Yu Zi Yu had also changed.

He was referred to as the Almighty. Not ‘he’, ‘she’, or ‘it’, but ‘Almighty,’ a highly revered form of honorific, originating from legend and reserved for beings that transcend normal comprehension.

Nowadays, under Misty Mountains’ behest, most common folk refer to Yu Zi Yu with this honorific. After all, using any other form of honorific might be felt by Yu Zi Yu, disturbing his inner peace.

However, this sacred form of address did not have such an effect. Thus, the more powerful an individual was, the more cautious they were in addressing Yu Zi Yu. Lower-level Transcendents didn’t usually take this seriously, not because of ignorance, but because beings like Demigods, if they carelessly address Yu Zi Yu, were more likely to draw his attention.

And Yu Zi Yu’s attention… well, even the strongest of beings would not enjoy it. That cold and indifferent, powerful and terrifying, phantom of blood-red eye, just a single glance from it struck fear in everyone’s heart, shaking even the heart of a Demigod-Level powerhouse.

…

At this moment, as if overhearing Elsa and Fredica’s conversation, Yu Zi Yu’s lips curled into a smile as he remarked, “To be honest, Nine Tails breaking through first came as a surprise even to us. We thought that it would be Little Tenth or Slytherin.”

As he spoke, Yu Zi Yu’s eyes sparkled with contemplation.

Tier-5—breaking through to this tier was unlike any other. Reaching this tier relied solely on individual talent and comprehension. Currently, the brightest star under Yu Zi Yu’s command was none other than the Lightning Dragon—Little Tenth.

As for Slytherin—the Yamata No Orochi, he held a sliver of Eternal Realm inheritance. Although it was just a bit of inheritance, it belonged to an Eternal. Just that little bit of inheritance was enough to bestow endless potential to Slytherin.

Over the past two years of fierce battles on Elysia, Slytherin had devoured countless beings, evolving into one of the most fearsome Demigods. His very name now struck terror across the land, as he had become a Great Terror, both revered and feared by all.

Given this, Yu Zi Yu no longer saw Slytherin’s ascension to Tier-5 as mere hopeful speculation. Armed with part of an Eternal’s inheritance, if Slytherin could not achieve Tier-5, he might as well bash his head against a rock.

As for Little Tenth, having his Bloodline purified again and again, and harvested several Dragon Clan inheritances from Dragon Island in Elysia, it should not be difficult for him to understand the mysteries of the Soul.

With these thoughts, Yu Zi Yu could not help but sigh.

He had countless prodigies under his command, but only two or three had the potential to step into Tier-5. The others either lacked enough accumulation or they were unlikely to break through.

Even a powerful being like Sarcosuchus, born with a violent nature, struggled to comprehend the mysteries of the Soul.

Nothing could be done about this; Tier-5, reaching it was as difficult as ascending to Heaven. Ultimately, it depended on each individual’s fate, something even Yu Zi Yu could not control.
