"It was just one of his avatars. If his true form had arrived, we wouldn't have been able to escape," Deced said.
Sylvus nodded. Even just the avatar carried the aura of a Deity Emperor-level powerhouse. If the true form had shown up, it would likely have surpassed the Deity Emperor level.
"Now that we're safe, hand over the World Fragnt," Sylvus said, wanting to secure the fragnt before anything else.
"No problem."
As soon as Deced finished speaking, a radiant light appeared in his hand. Sylvus looked closely and saw that it was indeed the World Fragnt.
"My Demon Clan always keeps its promises," Deced said, handing the World Fragnt to Sylvus.
This surprised Sylvus. Was Deced really giving it to him so easily? Shouldn't he be using the fragnt to leverage Sylvus's help for the Demon Clan? Although puzzled, Sylvus wasn't about to turn down the fragnt that was now within his reach. He quickly accepted it, feeling quite satisfied with his haul from this trip.
"Now that you've erged into the world, the future of the Demon Clan is in your hands. Take to a safe place so I can leave," Sylvus said, glancing at Deced.
"Elder Sylvus, if I seek your help in the future, would you assist ?" Deced asked sincerely.
Sylvus thought for a mont before nodding.
"Since you handed over the World Fragnt so readily, I'll agree to help you with one thing. But don't expect to go kill the Divine Lord for you or anything like that."
"It's just a small favor, Elder. I hope you can agree," Deced shook his head.
Sylvus paused, confused. "What do you an? You want to help you now?"
"That's right. I want to follow you, Elder Sylvus. Please allow to accompany you," Deced said seriously.
Follow him? Sylvus frowned.
"Your task now should be to improve your strength and find the rest of your clan. Why would you want to follow ?"
"The Demon Clan leader left a ssage long ago: if we wish to strengthen the Demon Clan, we must follow the one who will save us," Deced explained.
Sylvus didn't respond imdiately. Was this kid just looking for a bodyguard? Following him was indeed the safest option. It seed Deced, despite just erging into the world, was already thinking strategically.
"Elder Sylvus, you did say you'd grant one request, and this one doesn't seem too difficult. I promise I won't be a burden to you," Deced insisted.
After a brief hesitation, Sylvus finally nodded.
"Alright, you can co along then."
Since he was planning to return to the Aslar Continent, having Deced with him could be useful. The Angel Clan and the Titan Clan were both located on the Aslar Continent, and having these three races et could be interesting.
"Thank you, Lord Sylvus." Deced smiled, pleased that Sylvus had agreed.
"However, if you're going to follow , you won't be able to bring your Demon Fortress with you," Sylvus pointed out.
"That's not an issue. This fortress is a divine artifact, and now that I'm its master, I can store it within my body," Deced replied.
Sylvus nodded, then gave Deced an address. Deced used the Demon Fortress to quickly travel there. After being out for more than ten days, Sylvus thought it was about ti to return, especially since the system update wouldn't take much longer.
On the way back, Macon and his group left to report their findings to their respective clans. Sylvus didn't stop them, but they exchanged contact information before parting ways.
"You wait here. I'll call soone over," Sylvus said with a smile. They were currently at the location of the Heaven and Earth Portal, but before returning to the Aslar Continent, Sylvus needed to get so materials from Horace.
"Great Space Summoning!"
With a thought, a space rift appeared in front of him.
anwhile, within the Radiant Temple, Horace was montarily stunned. He could feel a powerful spatial force binding him, and despite his Deity Emperor strength, he couldn't resist.
"What's going on? This power… Could it be him?" Horace frowned but stopped struggling, knowing resistance was futile.
In the next mont, the scene before Horace changed, and he found Sylvus smiling at him.
"Greetings, my lord," Horace quickly bowed.
"The items?" Sylvus asked directly.
"My lord, everything on your list is here, along with a few items from the first list you gave ," Horace said, handing Sylvus a spatial storage ring.
Sylvus accepted the ring and inspected it. Seeing that it was indeed filled with materials, he smiled in satisfaction.
"What's the situation with the Divine Lord?" Sylvus asked while checking the materials.
Hearing this, Horace's body trembled slightly.
"My lord, the Divine Lord doesn't know it was you. By the ti he arrived, you had already left. However, the Divine Lord has ordered the remaining eleven temples to hunt you down with all their power."
Sylvus nodded. Let them search all they wanted. He was returning to the Aslar Continent anyway. They could scour the entire Divine Realm, but they wouldn't find him.
"Alright, nothing else for now. You can go." Sylvus waved his hand dismissively.
Horace hesitated for a mont, as if wanting to say sothing. Sylvus noticed and raised an eyebrow.
"What is it? Sothing else on your mind?"
Horace clenched his teeth before speaking.
"My lord, if you ever need information on the Divine Lord, I can help you."
Sylvus was surprised. "What do you an? You don't like the Divine Lord either?"
He had assud only the oppressed races hated the Divine Lord, but now it seed even soone like Horace, who served under the Divine Lord, wanted to turn against him.
"My lord, I am of the Divine Clan. Over the years, the Divine Lord seems to have been plotting sothing, causing many from various races, including the Divine Clan, to mysteriously disappear," Horace explained.
Sylvus studied Horace without speaking, then finally said, "We'll talk about it later. You can go for now." He wasn't interested in dealing with the Divine Lord's affairs at the mont, and he couldn't yet tell if Horace's words were true. In any case, only those with absolute power could do as they pleased in the Divine Realm.
Horace understood that he wouldn't be able to earn Sylvus's trust in a few words. Without saying more, he left quickly. Before departing, however, he cast a glance at Deced, his eyes filled with curiosity.
It seed the reason Sylvus had appeared at the Demon Fortress earlier was for this young boy.
"Alright, let's go," Sylvus said to Deced after Horace had left.
"Where are we going?" Deced asked curiously.
"To a place you've never been before. And there, you'll et people who can truly help the Demon Clan," Sylvus said with a slight smile.
With a wave of his hand, the Heaven and Earth Portal appeared in front of them. Deced looked surprised—he hadn't sensed the portal at all.
Sylvus opened the portal, and together they stepped through, leaving the Divine Realm and returning to the Aslar Continent.
