"One cannot joke if one's heart is not pure."

Xu Fu said in a cold voice, "I don't remember that joining the Eternal Council requires a pure heart. Wizard, you are the representative of the Eternal Council. You have dedicated everything to mankind, and I sincerely respect you. But the seats there are occupied by gods. I am the representative of the Eastern Celestial Court. You can exclude me, and you must give a sufficiently good reason."

"If only children have pure souls, then how can adults be pure?"

The old man shook his head: "No matter what you say, I cannot give you the Stone of Eternity."

"Why?".

I've already explained the reasons.

Xu Fu: ""

A hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, then disappeared.

"Okay, I respect your decision and reserve the right to express my opinion. I'll be staying here for the time being, so feel free to let me know if you have any thoughts."

After saying that, he pulled Sivana out of the hall.

After the two left, the old man collapsed to the ground...

"What terrifying fears, what powerful souls! Over thousands of years, humanity has indeed created beings comparable to gods."

"Still from the Eastern Celestial Court"

The old man muttered to himself, his expression indescribably complex.

Among the seven pantheons, the Eastern Celestial Court is the most unique. Other pantheons rely on maintaining bloodlines and emphasize innate deities, but the Eastern Celestial Court has no innate deities; anyone can become a god.

This also made the other six major divine races extremely disdainful of the Eastern Celestial Court, with some even regarding it as an outsider or an enemy.

Shazam, representing the Ennead of Egypt, was no exception, which is why he was so cruel. Recalling the power this person had displayed, he couldn't help but feel sorrow. His body was already on the verge of collapse, and he was powerless to fight any longer. If the opponent launched an attack, he would most likely die here.

"No, we must find a successor as soon as possible; we can't delay any longer."

The old man gripped his staff with a determined air.

Leaving the hall, Xu Fu returned the way he came and found himself back in the library. This room was simply a treasure trove. The ancient books on the shelves covered all aspects of knowledge, including the origin legends of various pantheons, types of demons, long-lost evil gods, various forbidden objects, and ancient Egyptian magic, which Xu Fu was most interested in.

Judging from the current situation, the probability of Shazam handing over the Eternal Stone is extremely low. If the other party refuses to give it to him, he will have no choice but to take it by force.

To capture it, you need the method and terminology to activate the teleportation array, in which case Shazam is irrelevant.

At that moment, a burst of static came from behind. Without turning his head, Xu Fu said something.

"Now that you're awake, get up."

Shivana looked up and stared intently at Xu Fu.

"Are you a wizard too?"

"You can call me by this name."

Sivana gave a deep, wry smile: "The world's richest man at 21 can do magic!"

God is so unfair; He gave all the priority to the person standing in front of Him.

There is no necessary connection between having magical abilities and becoming the world's richest person.

Xu Fu wrote: "Dr. Sivana, please tell me, what should I do with you?"

Shyvana's expression changed. "Are you going to kill me?"

"Otherwise, it would be difficult for you to become a menace."

"No, I can't die, please! I promise I'll never tell anyone about what happened today!"

There are only one type of person in the world who will keep a secret.

Xu Fu opened his right hand, and a blinding burst of lightning erupted from his palm. His killing intent swept over her like a tsunami, and Shyvana trembled all over, a strong sense of fear rising in her heart.

"but..."

Xu Fu unzipped his jacket and said thoughtfully, "Dead things have no value, and I don't like things that have no value."

Shyvana's eyes lit up, and she said in a shrill voice, "Tell me what you want me to do, and if I can do it, I won't make excuses."

"This is a question you must ask yourself."

Xu Fu walked to the table and sat down, picking up an ancient book of unknown material and casually flipping through it: "Dr. Shyvana, how can you help me?"

“I am an archaeologist. I can help you explore ancient ruins. I know a lot about the Eternal Stone and the Eternal Council. If you don’t kill me, I will tell you all the stories.”

“Everything you’ve said is written in the book. I can read it myself. There’s no need to repeat it to me.” He paused for a moment, then continued, “You have ten seconds. If you can’t give me a satisfactory answer within ten seconds, I’ll have no choice but to let you die here.”

"Of course, you can also run away."

run away?

Shyvana smiled wryly: "The power of a wizard is mysterious and unpredictable. What difference does it make whether you run away or seek death in front of him?"

Time passed by minute by minute.

Sivana scratched behind his ear and hurried away.

"Time's up, think about it."

Pow!

Sivana knelt on the ground

Tell me what you want me to do; I'll do anything to survive.

"That's obviously stupid."

Xu Fu felt a chill run down his spine: "What is your purpose in coming to the Stone of Eternity?"

Sivana answered honestly, "Find Tes-Adam and break his seal."

Why did you seal it up?

"Haskert wants to rule the Earth; he needs the power of Tess Adam."

Do you think he will succeed?

Sivana shook his head: "No matter how powerful the gods are, they can't compare to the six superheroes of Metropolis."

"...So you think he will fail."

Sivana was confused: "What exactly do you want from me?"

"What do you know about Haskell?"

He was a court priest in ancient Egypt. He was executed by the king with a sword for killing Prince Khufu. His soul was reincarnated through the magic of the sword.

Where is the knife?

Sivana gradually understood and asked in a low voice, "Do you need a knife?"

"No, I need the metal. Legend has it that the metal for this sword came from an alien spaceship. Haset is a court priest, so he must know the approximate location of the spaceship. If you find him, I will let you go. I will grant you one request."

Sivana rubbed her eyes, unsure whether to believe it or not.

"I'm saying this to your face: if I find what I need, I'll follow it."

Shyvana couldn't help but ask, "What are the conditions?"

"It's alright, as far as I'm concerned."

"I want to learn magic."

Xu Fu glanced at him and said, "Your aptitude is too low; you can't learn it."

Hearing this, Shivana breathed a sigh of relief: if he had agreed without hesitation, then he wouldn't care about the promise, and what he said (Nod Zhao) would just be a lie, but now it's different: refusing means there's still room for negotiation.

"That's my request: teach me magic and I'll help you find the alien spaceship's location."

Xu Fu frowned and said, "Magic requires talent. Without talent, the gate to magic cannot be opened. In your current state, even if you find the best teacher, you will not be able to learn it."

“I know, but there’s something you can do, isn’t there?”

Shyvana's eyes were filled with hope; she felt she was getting closer and closer to her dream.

Xu Fu nodded: "There is indeed such a method. A potion made with the blood of the supreme demon can grant a person magical talent and allow them to wield some of the demon's power. However, after taking it, the body will reject it, turning them into a half-human, half-demon. Are you sure you want to do that?"

Shyvana nodded seriously: "I don't care about anything as long as I can learn magic."

"Yes!"

Xu Fu stood up and walked towards him: "I promise you I will find you an alien spaceship and a potion." "I promise."

Chapter 1527 The Giant Colosseum

After agreeing, Shyvana took the topographical map that Xu Fu had found and set off to find Has-Shet. He naturally knew what to do next, as long as he wasn't an idiot.

After dealing with Shyvana's matter, Xu Fu left the storage room, picked up a book recording ancient Egyptian magic, and began to peruse it, observing the terrain of the Stone of Eternity.

The Eternal Stone is very large, with four levels: the upper and lower levels are the main council hall, the war room, and the reception hall, respectively.

The second floor is divided into eight areas: the accommodation area, the garden, the library, the alchemy laboratory, the artisan's laboratory, the storage room, the peace corridor, and a public area that occupies one-third of the floor.

The third level is the most expansive space: it contains training grounds, armories, furnaces, a giant arena, a magic testing center, and a sealing zone. Besides the buildings, there are also several magical traps.

The bottom level is special; there is nothing there, a void shrouded in black mist. To leave, you must find the node leading to the top level.

The Carter Hall and Haas Meter are clearly located on the fourth floor.
