Chapter 77: Every step was predicted in advance.
Poison Shadow Star.
Inside a sterile laboratory at Mount Avada, the highest place known by the planet's native inhabitants as the "origin of life".
"Boom!!!!"
The sudden burst of flames subsided in an instant, coalescing into a naked figure.
As the puzzle pieces came together one by one, Perseus returned to his original armored and spear-wielding appearance, his eyes sharp as knives, as he looked at the Thousand Poisons clone to the side.
"Finally, we're out of that awful place."
"A special life form at the realm lord level, with combat power comparable to an immortal. I never expected that the Fire Cloud Saint Lord would have such a treasure hidden in his hands."
The biggest gain this time was the flesh and blood of the Zhulong.
According to Perseus's estimation, the genetic level of this special life form may be more than a hundred times higher. Based on this, the bloodline effect of a three-star level 10+ bloodline would definitely be good.
It's a bit of a pity about that Fire Crystal Core ore vein.
Although the Soul Crystal Nail is still there and he knows the coordinates, after this painful lesson, the Fire Cloud Saint Lord will definitely guard it closely.
If I were to provoke him now, he might just overturn the chessboard.
Whether it's reporting it to higher authorities or taking other measures, if the other party wants to, they can still make things difficult for everyone.
"I wonder how things are going in Candira?"
Activate the smart computer and contact Candira.
Soon a familiar figure appeared on the screen.
"Owner!"
At this moment, Candira appeared exceptionally busy, simultaneously connecting to several communication numbers and explaining the current situation to the domain lord powerhouses of the Crimson lineage.
Upon seeing Perseus appear, he was overjoyed and immediately initiated a multi-person communication.
Immediately, a group of red-haired, red-eyed figures turned to look at Perseus.
"Is this Lord Perseus?"
Perseus looked at the old man who had spoken. "It's me."
"The matter of the Fire Cloud Continent..."
"I did indeed defeat the Holy Lord."
Seemingly knowing what these Crimson Clan leaders were talking about, Perseus briefly explained the situation, emphasizing that his strength had already reached the Immortal level.
"So now Lord Perseus has higher combat strength, and the Holy Commander is more proactive?"
"Excuse my bluntness, but Lord Perseus hasn't broken through to the next level. Even if his combat power is stronger, can Lord Perseus guarantee that we will obtain the status that the immortal race deserves as before?"
"That is indeed a problem!"
"Perseus, perhaps you could consider a collaboration..."
"I have grasped the essence of the laws of fire."
The doubts raised by several elders of the Crimson Clan came to an abrupt halt.
Mastering all the essences means that as long as you cultivate step by step, you can master the laws of fire and become a true immortal god.
As long as this fundamental premise exists, everything else is actually unimportant.
Just like now.
Upon learning that Perseus had a chance to break through to immortality, the group immediately changed their tune, stood up, and bowed to Perseus.
"Greetings, Lord Perseus."
Perseus nodded slightly upon seeing this. "Let's stick to the previous arrangement—"
"I am absolutely confident that I can break through within 100,000 years. All you have to do now is wait, including the so-called 'negotiations.' Even if you want to compete for the Pool of Flowing Fire, you will need sufficient strength."
"Besides, the Heavenly Flame Spirit Tablet is not currently in the Holy Lord's hands."
"Not here..."
"What does Lord Perseus mean?"
Several domain lords of the Crimson lineage looked up abruptly, staring at Perseus in disbelief, until the latter took out the physical object and, with the help of some unfamiliar instruments, condensed a fire crystal core on the spot.
"We understand."
"Lord Perseus, rest assured, the Crimson lineage will always follow you."
Perseus paid no attention to the loyalty of the men.
In the end, they will all be implanted with soul-binding wood threads anyway.
Candila is only letting them run wild now because he left in a hurry and doesn't have the means. Once they get to his side, a strong person will naturally teach them the rules.
"Remember to leave the Fire Cloud Clan as soon as possible."
Perseus raised his hand to turn off the communication, turned around and took a few steps, quickly arriving at the side of the laboratory. Through the glass, he looked down at the semi-transparent hibernation pods below.
Inside were individual "vine people".
At present, the Myriad Poisons clone is using the data from these symbiotic experimental subjects to investigate and verify the connection between the genetic structure and the Soul-Binding Wood Threads.
This semi-directional screening method takes the most time.
Only through accurate verification can the mutation be guided in a targeted manner, at which point the modification of the Soul-Binding Wood Silk will enter a true "fast track".
The kind that produces the finished product in one step.
……
Fire Cloud Continent.
A passage to a divine realm appeared, and the ravaged continent once again welcomed its master.
But at this very moment.
When the Fire Cloud Saint Lord saw the current state of the Flowing Fire Pool, especially the Candlelight Serpents that shuttled back and forth as if they were patrolling under the command of some force, he immediately realized that something that should not have awakened had awakened.
"asshole!!!"
With a casual punch, the Fire Cloud Saint Lord smashed a mountain peak on one side.
When he looked up again, his once calm eyes had turned bloodshot, like a ferocious beast eager to devour its prey, wishing it could pounce on him and eat Perseus's flesh and drink his blood.
All those years of hard work were for nothing.
He had been working tirelessly and scheming for many years, almost exhausting his assets to put the Candle Dragon into a deep sleep. Now, not only has the Heavenly Flame Spirit Tablet been lost, but the target he used to transform into an avatar is also gone.
"That damned little bastard!"
The Fire Cloud Saint Lord activated his personal terminal, contacting the powerful figures of each branch, "Investigate—investigate them all!!!"
"Who exactly did that guy come with?"
"Whichever branch caused the trouble, that branch will bear the consequences. If it's gone, the Heavenly Flame Spirit Tablet is gone, and the Fire Crystal Core becomes useless. This is severing the very foundation of my Fire Cloud Clan!"
When an immortal race is truly determined to accomplish something, it can be quite efficient.
When the Fire Cloud Saint Lord spoke, the various branches that had always depended on him for survival immediately began to act, and in just half a day, they locked onto the Crimson Branch.
Although they identified the real culprit, they made no progress.
Long before the Fire Cloud Saint set off for the Crimson Clan's territory, Candila had already led his people to evacuate and leave the Fire Cloud Empire.
The Fire Cloud Saint Lord and the group of Realm Lords found nothing.
Then.
When they finally tracked down the Spark Group, this rapidly formed and quickly disappeared clan had vanished without a trace, leaving the Fire Cloud Clan with only a mess and triggering a new round of chaos.
The real estate to be divided after the Red Clan left.
The Fire Crystal Core could no longer be effective.
……
Because of this Fire God Festival, the entire Fire Cloud Clan fell into a slump, and in the end, even the Fire Cloud Holy Lord couldn't find a suitable person to complain to.
Otherwise, why not take action against the ordinary members of the Crimson Clan?
Even those Fire Cloud Clan members who are not at the Domain Lord level, and even those at the Universe level, are all related by blood or marriage... If this situation were to be settled, it would only make the chaotic situation even more uncontrollable.
Therefore, even though every step was anticipated and he was treated like a puppy and led around in three or four medium-sized civilized countries, in the end, the Fire Cloud Saint Lord still had to swallow his grievances.
That damned Perseus!!!
I curse you to become cosmic debris and be scattered throughout the entire Wind and Wave Universe Kingdom...
