"Dad, what did you say? Who is the Asura?", Athena looked at Restiev, asking in confusion.
Restiev was staring closely at the mural of the Dragon Nation's Asura God on the wall.
'No wonder when I first saw Zhang Yue, I always felt that his eyes looked familiar.'
'Now thinking back...'
"They say the eyes are the windows to the soul."
"His eyes look exactly like the Asura God's!"
Restiev certainly knew that Zhang Yue couldn't be the real Asura.
Because it was well known that the Dragon Nation's Asura God had sacrificed himself in the battle against the level-nine beast tide a hundred years ago.
"Then, he should be a descendant of Asura."
Athena said in surprise, "Dad, are you saying that Zero is a descendant of the Asura God?"
"Not 100% certain, but 90% likely," Restiev said firmly, "I watch and worship the portrait of the Asura God for an hour every day."
"That child's gaze is exactly the sa as the Asura God's."
Athena also believed her father's guess, "No wonder his strength is so powerful. I feel like my own strength compared to his is just the tip of the iceberg. So... he's a descendant of the Asura God."
"He must have inherited the legacy of the Asura God."
Restiev was sowhat emotional.
"My grandfather often taught us, the reason our Divine Mansion family is what it is today, or even why our Bear Nation exists today, is entirely thanks to the grace of the Dragon Nation's Asura God a hundred years ago. We must always rember the Asura God!"
Athena nodded, "Athena has always kept that in mind, never forgotten. The Dragon Nation, and Asura, their grace to our Bear Nation, to our Divine Mansion family."
"Without Asura, there would be no Bear Nation, no 300 million citizens of Bear Nation, no Divine Mansion, no ."
Clearly, as her father, Restiev had often instilled this belief in Athena from a young age.
Passed down through generations, Bear Nations, perhaps over 99.99%, had never seen Asura with their own eyes.
Because in their current era, it had already been a hundred years since Asura's ti, and none of them were even born back then.
Yet, as long as the na "Asura" was ntioned, there was no one in Bear Nation who didn't know it.
Indeed, a hundred years ago, Zhang Yue had used the body of Asura to help many countries.
When a high-level beast tide descended, dinsional rifts would temporarily open.
Professionals from other countries could decide of their own will to co and aid nations overwheld by the beast tide, helping them resist it together.
Back then, Zhang Yue had helped many countries resist beast tides.
Bear Nation was one of them.
Historical records noted that Asura had helped Bear Nation repel three level-five beast tides, two level-six beast tides, one level-seven beast tide, and one level-eight beast tide.
Among them, the largest was that level-eight beast tide, which nearly caused the destruction of Bear Nation.
At that ti, humanity did not yet possess the strength to resist high-level beast tides.
No other nation dared to co to Bear Nation's aid against that unprecedented massive level-eight beast tide.
Just as Bear Nation was on the brink of annihilation, the Dragon Nation's Asura, along with so other powerful professionals, appeared.
With overwhelming strength, they helped Bear Nation successfully repel that wave of level-eight beast tide.
Since then, Asura had been worshipped across Bear Nation as the God of Salvation.
And Restiev's grandfather, who was also the founder of the [Divine Mansion] Guild, was personally saved by Asura during that level-eight beast tide, at the mont his life was hanging by a thread.
At this mont, Restiev asked Athena, "You just said that Zero and your raid progress is the sa, both at the World 19 now?"
"Yes," Athena replied, "I first t him in the Death Territory of the World 17. His raid speed is extrely fast."
"I had to give it my all just to barely keep up with him."
"If that's the case...", Restiev thought for a mont and said, "I'll imdiately assign you a team. You lead them to the World 19's Death Territory and find Zero to regroup."
"From now on, you must protect Zero at all tis."
"The grace that the Asura God once gave us, finally has a chance to be repaid through his descendant," At this mont, Restiev felt a great burden lifted.
Athena hesitated for a mont, then said, "But Dad... have you considered, maybe he doesn't need my protection at all?"
"His strength is more than ten tis mine. The last few tis I t him, it was him protecting ..."
Restiev said to Athena, "Because no one has explored it, and there are no guides, the dangers hidden in the Death Territory are unpredictable."
Athena agreed, "Alright Dad, I understand."
Restiev sighed, "To think, you could actually et the descendant of the Asura God. This must be fate working behind the scenes!"
As he was speaking, a voice suddenly ca from outside the door, "Exactly, uncle-in-law, you think so too, don't you?"
Looking toward the voice, they saw a spirited young man with short hair, sohow already standing at the study doorway.
"Cousin?", Athena looked at the newcor with so surprise, "Why are you here?"
The person was Athena's cousin, Garuda.
Garuda smiled and said, "I ca to visit my beautiful little cousin!"
Then Garuda said to Restiev, "Uncle-in-law, I'm telling you, Nana and that Zero from the Dragon Nation, it's more than just fate. Those two are a perfect match!"
"Here's a suggestion: why not let Nana and Zero represent our nations and unite Bear Nation and the Dragon Nation through marriage?"
"Let them register this morning, hold the banquet at noon, and perform the ceremony in the evening, straight to the wedding chamber."
"You sh*t!", Athena shouted Garuda's full na angrily, "Can you just shut up for once?"
As her voice faded, Restiev spoke with a thoughtful expression, "I think Garuda's suggestion is quite good!"
"Dad, I'm logging in to do missions," She couldn't let her cousin and father continue to talk like this, Athena hurriedly pushed Garuda out.

At the sa ti.
[Dragon Nation, World 19]
Zhang Yue arrived at the entrance of the Death Territory and stepped in.
Currently, his Soul Hunter level was fixed at Rank 7, 1700/3000.
Just 1300 more experience points, and he could reach Rank 8 and complete the World 19's mission.
This was Zhang Yue's goal for tonight.
After entering the Death Territory, Zhang Yue headed straight for the deep advanced area.
As a current Rank 7 Soul Hunter, he could basically enter and exit most of the Death Territory's map freely.
However, because the map was so vast, for a mont Zhang Yue didn't know where to go.
Just then, a system notification suddenly descended from the sky.
[Announcent] (World 19 – Death Territory):
[Ding~ All professionals please note: Hidden dungeon [Death Demon Hall] has been activated]
Just when he was frustrated about not finding a target, Zhang Yue smiled happily, "It's here!"
