In the back compartment of the potion shop, Kosor looked shocked and asked, “Are you sure? Don’t you need it for yourself?”

Enzo explained, “I’ve already used it. It seems that after using it multiple times, my body has developed a resistance.”

Hearing this, Kosor inwardly cursed himself for being nosy. He was just asking for trouble.

Enzo was able to sell it because he had extra on hand.

The thought made Kosor even more envious and regretful that he hadn’t joined the main group from the temple on their trip to the Fierce Beast continent.

But it wasn’t too late now.

Kosor replied, “No problem. While my strength isn’t great, I’ve been in the temple for several decades and know quite a few people. How about I contact them and then host a banquet in the virtual temple world to auction it off?”

Enzo didn’t want to deal with the details and waved his hand, saying, “Just do it your way.”

After that, he took out the piece of Eomaia flesh, which nearly took up the entire table, causing Kosor to breathe more rapidly. Enzo said, “Kosor, I’m leaving this to you.”

Kosor quickly interjected, “We need to sign an agreement first. Aren’t you afraid I might try to keep it for myself?”

Enzo shook his head confidently and said, “I have faith in my judgment. You’re not that kind of person, Kosor. Besides, I won’t allow anyone to take something from me!”

Enzo’s bold response left Kosor momentarily stunned.

Then, he laughed heartily and said, “Enzo, with your trust in me, I’ll definitely sell this piece of Eomaia flesh for a high price!”

“Great, I look forward to your good news.” Enzo replied with a smile.

After that, he left the potion shop and took a spaceship back to Alfa City.

…

Meanwhile, in the Fierce Beast world, at the Otrank Mountains.

After the temple’s Norman took action, the entire Otrank Mountains was flattened, turning into an endless crimson plain. The town of Otrank, which once stood on the outskirts of the mountains, became desolate. With the disappearance of the Otrank Mountains and the previous devastation by supernatural beings from the Starry Sky, the local inhabitants of Fierce Beast continent had nearly vanished.

Now, Otrank was empty.

However, today, a young man dressed in a dark gray robe strolled into Otrank City, seemingly at ease. He then climbed the city wall and gazed out over the vast plain, sighing, “The power of an immortal deity is truly admirable!”

“But soon enough, I will be one as well.”

As the figure in the black robe finished speaking, the ground suddenly began to tremble.

Not just near Otrank City, but the entire Fierce Beast world began to tremble. Soon after, the various Node Temples established throughout the Fierce Beast world radiated with light. These Node Temples seemed to be drawing in some special power, which then erupted in brilliant columns of light that pierced the sky.

However, it seemed to encounter some kind of obstruction, bending back and ultimately converging over Otrank City, gathering around the figure in the black robe.

Under the illumination of countless beams of light, the black robe began to tear apart, revealing the figure’s true identity.

It was none other than Enzo’s acquaintance—Maude.

Maude greedily absorbed the energy conveyed by the light, a force of exceptionally high caliber, filled with mystery and resonating with an ancient aura. This made Maude’s presence grow stronger, instantly breaking through a certain boundary, resulting in a fundamental change in his aura. It became the aura of a deity, evoking fear and submission.

“Power, it has finally returned!”

A joyful smile appeared on Maude’s face, and the influx of energy showed no signs of stopping.

He continued to absorb the energy, muttering to himself, “It’s a pity that Enzo hasn’t left many traces in this world. Otherwise, I could have used that to uncover his secrets. As the last chosen one by Artemis, he should have even more powerful things within him. But I’m not doing too badly myself…”

“Those people think Eomaia is active in the Otrank Mountains—what a ridiculous bunch!”

“There’s no Eomaia at all, only the Chaos Behemoth!”

“And the entire Fierce Beast world is transformed from the body of the Chaos Behemoth. When I first discovered this world, I found it truly incredible. After all, how could such a massive creature exist in the Starry Sky? Aha…”

Maude laughed heartily. This was his rebirth and a rise to power once again.

Having confirmed that this planet was the transformed corpse of the Chaos Behemoth, Maude developed a wildly ambitious idea: he wanted to absorb the entire bloodline energy of the Chaos Behemoth to enhance himself.

At first, he had failed.

His original body couldn’t withstand such power, forcing him to exist in a spiritual state. He then used the energy of the Chaos Behemoth itself to cultivate a suitable body.

This time, the plan succeeded.

However, due to the lengthy passage of time, even though his soul was strong, it had worn down significantly. It was quite difficult for him to activate the absorption of the bloodline power from the Chaos Behemoth’s corpse. Fortunately, he had sensed Enzo’s appearance in the Starry Sky teleportation array.

By exploiting the backdoor that Enzo had left in the Starry Sky teleportation array, Maude easily transported Enzo over.

This led to a series of subsequent events.

Of course, as one of his own, Maude didn’t betray Enzo.

The piece of Chaos Behemoth flesh he left for Enzo was indeed the essence of the Chaos Behemoth’s blood, capable of enhancing Enzo’s own bloodline to a higher level.

This was also his form of compensation to Enzo.

Later, Maude used Eomaia as bait, drawing in members of the Temple of the Seven Gods and the Primordial Beast Clan.

The battles among these individuals destroyed the Otrank Mountains, something Maude hadn’t anticipated. However, his goals had already been achieved.

As the beams of light descended, strange, ethereal patterns began to emerge on his body.

These were points of light, representing different elements from the Starry Sky. Each illuminated point signified that he had mastered those elements, and these points could be lit up because of the people who had spent time in the Fierce Beast continent. They had used spells and activated the elemental powers there.

This was Maude’s purpose in attracting others.

He wanted to absorb the corresponding elemental energy from them, thus saving himself time in understanding those elements.

It was a bold idea, and he succeeded.

As the points of light on Maude’s body continued to glow, they gradually formed the vague silhouette of a tree. Maude was momentarily stunned, muttering to himself, “A tree? Why would it be a tree?”

He didn’t understand, but he knew he was on the right path.

He had no doubts and continued to absorb the energy.

This process lasted a full half month. When the last remnants of light transmitted from the various Node Temples were absorbed, Maude donned a black robe again. Under his control, his aura steadily diminished until it reduced to a mere Level 9.

Then, with a casual gesture, the metallic temple from before flew over, morphing into a silvery, shuttle-shaped spacecraft.

Maude boarded the spacecraft and spoke to himself again, “It’s time to leave! Right now, I’m at the peak of Level 3 deity, but I don’t have much mastery over Elemental Law. The most important thing now is to comprehend Elemental Law. Once I complete this step, I should be able to smoothly become an immortal deity!”

Thinking this, Maude felt an exhilarating excitement.

He piloted the spacecraft away, passing through various teleportation arrays in the Starry Sky, and finally stopped on a massive life planet. He directly approached the Temple of the Seven Gods branch on the planet and stated his intention, saying, “I want to join the Pride Temple.”

The person in charge sensed the aura around Maude and nodded, asking, “May I have your name?”

Maude thought for a moment and replied with a name: “Mau.”

After completing the registration, the person in charge smiled and said, “Alright, Mr. Mau, you can now proceed to the dreamland square of the temple to participate in the assessment simulation battle.”

Maude walked over, and soon his consciousness entered the dreamland square.

For him, this was no challenge at all.

…

On the other side, on Alfa Planet.

Enzo had returned to his villa from the sky city. Flora, who had been waiting in the villa, leaped onto Enzo, feeling uncomfortable being served by someone, especially someone brought in by Enzo.

This made her feel guilty for taking advantage of him.

So she wanted to make it up to Enzo.

She expressed her enthusiasm, and Enzo didn’t refuse. The two of them once again engaged in the most intense and primal of battles, enjoying the beauty of life.

Meanwhile, in another villa in the same residential area, Matilda was not in a good mood.

“I’m so mad! I’m absolutely furious!”

Matilda exclaimed angrily, “Who is that Mau?! Uncle Duncan, contact someone from the temple and find out his information. I have to teach him a lesson! He clearly has enough strength to defeat me, yet he chooses to toy with me! He’s definitely a complete devil!”

Duncan shook his head with a wry smile. “Miss, just give it up. You’ll definitely pass the assessment next time.”

His comforting words didn’t have much effect.

After all, as the steward of the White Family, he was well aware of Matilda’s strength and talent. Joining the temple was a sure thing, with no real difficulty. However, encountering such genuine talents twice in a row—first Enzo, and now the mysterious Mau—had been incredibly unlucky.

Still, this made Duncan reflect, “There are indeed more and more geniuses in the Underground-River starfield…”
