Chapter 604: 553 expansion 1
"Prince Wu Saning, the invitation from my lord was not for you to come and merely strut about,"
Just as the Saintesses were trembling with fear, getting ready to perform acrobatics.
A brilliant white light condensed in the room, and within it, a burst of platinum-colored flames suddenly shone, revealing a pair of golden eyes that stared at the silver-haired man.
"Raging Flame God? A mere subordinate deity dares to lecture me?" the silver-haired man sneered, stretching out his right index finger. At its tip, countless tiny white symbols gathered like ants, coalescing into an egg-sized ball of light.
"Enough," suddenly, a grand and deep voice, like the tolling of a bell, exploded between the two.
Both of their expressions changed slightly, and they each withdrew the impending force of their blows.
"Wu Saning, Divine Intention, I did not invite you here merely for enjoyment and frivolity. Do not forget the matter agreed upon by your organization," that grand voice resonated commandingly. With a faint sound, it made the surrounding Saintesses go limp, collapsing on the ground, unable to move.
"Of course, I won’t forget. Following the ritual to destroy and restart is not difficult. However, I have been guarding for so long without finding any news. It seems that those people we are looking for have indeed escaped to other Blind Spots. It might not be long before I am called back and leave. Your compensation will be settled by others," Wu Saning said with a laugh.
"I hope so," the voice huffed coldly.
"However, afterwards, you will need to carefully consider our proposal. In the vast Black Sea, neutrality is not good, especially during a full-scale conflict of ours...," Wu Saning sneered coldly.
"There is no need for you to say this," the voice paused, seemingly wary of the power behind the other, and fell silent.
Wu Saning waved his hand, casting out a swath of white light. Instantly, both the Raging Flame God and the Saintesses were engulfed by the white light and vanished from sight, leaving only him alone in the room, lounging on the sofa, looking at the empty scenery outside.
"Dull place," he muttered, the corner of his mouth twitching as his figure flashed and disappeared from the room instantly.
When he reappeared, he was already outside the entire Anze Blind Spot, amidst the infinitely profound expanse of the Black Sea.
There, a towering figure like a pure white puppet, was floating in midair, waiting for him.
"How’s it going, Wu Saning?" The figure’s joints were intentionally marked with lines, and its face was painted with a strange pattern of red lines forming a smile. It looked bizarre and inexplicable.
"It’s estimated that there’s little hope of finding the original bodies. Even if I guard for a few more years, I’ll be reassigned. The conflict with Black Paper will need to be sustained for a long time," Wu Saning replied.
"What’s their reaction?" the puppet-like figure asked with a sharp voice.
"No reaction. Those old forces don’t take us newcomers seriously, but meticulous arrangements have already been made. They won’t attract their attention," Wu Saning answered.
"Good. Settle things here quickly and rejoin the team," the puppet instructed.
"Understood!" Wu Saning nodded.
Now, the organization’s actions in disputing territories were growing bigger. If Anze didn’t make a stance soon, it wouldn’t be long before war erupted again.
"We must handle everything before attracting attention, to avoid discovery by Black Paper," the puppet said, then slowly vanished.
"Yes," Wu Saning responded.
Watching the other leave, his mind pondered the deeper implications.
The organization’s conflict with Black Paper had already involved the destruction of a large number of Blind Spots. Now, to establish a victory, they would have no choice but to unveil a secret treasure discovered long ago.
The only problem was that the location of the treasure was too close to the territories of those old forces, which could easily cause trouble if they weren’t careful.
Therefore, they must ensure not to make any grand moves that could trigger their discovery. Although White Wax was not afraid of any enemy and was destined to destroy everything it encountered, the current objective was to deal with Black Paper first.
These things, Wu Saning was naturally aware of, but what puzzled him was if he had already been assigned the mission by Anze, why would the puppet come over to rush him? Was there a change within the organization... or some other reason...?
Unfortunately, the treasure had to be obtained at the moment of a Blind Spot’s destruction and restart, so his cooperation with The Holy Hall was inevitable.
To expedite the progress now, it was necessary to start putting in real effort and not just idle away the days like before.
With these uncertainties in his mind, he Flash Appearance’d back into the Blind Spot, his face restored to its previous boredom and arrogance.

As time passed, since Li Chengyi had resolved to collect demigods and expand his power secretly, he began to mobilize frequently. In just over a month, he had swept up all the demigods in the Venus Federation and surrounding countries.
Meanwhile, the strength under his command quickly swelled to seven demigods and fourteen Golds.
All the demigods, coerced by Li Chengyi’s overwhelming power, had to continue recruiting experts and establishing a vast information network.
Shortly, three months flew by swiftly.
Soon, an organization known as The Garden rapidly expanded in Anze.
Centered around Ludian City where Li Chengyi was located, The Garden’s influence radiated outward. Without contacting the Sunlight Council, it gathered all secret forces, its rapid development astonishing everyone.
In just a few months, the number of members had ballooned to tens of thousands.
Such expansion finally attracted the attention of the Sunlight Council.
Sunlight Council, The Holy Hall.
A pure silver, massive, spherical structure floated within the ninth layer of space belonging to the council of The Heavenly Realm.
The Heavenly Realm is a special Blind Spot World linked to Anze, home to the mightiest chairman of the Sunlight Council, Sky God Weiman.
The entire expanse of The Heavenly Realm is more than twice the size of Anze, but sparsely populated, inhabited more by numerous creatures native to The Heavenly Realm.
At that moment, within a pure white palace atop a snow-capped mountain in the ninth layer of The Heavenly Realm—a palace so vast it defied imagination—a massive figure shrouded in dazzling golden light slowly opened its eyes.
The figure was thousands of meters tall, with countless layers of pure white wings on its back, shimmering with mysterious symbols. At its chest, through the translucent skin, one could see a roaring, intense, and pure gold flame burning within.
The smoke of the flame consisted of numerous symbols and scripts, and at the core of the fire, there seemed to be an irregularly shaped, hollow, multicolored sphere.
That was Divine Fire, the true source of Weiman’s power.
"There is a new anomaly in Anze," Weiman said, his expression grave. He pointed forward, and immediately, a semi-transparent holographic globe appeared before him.
In the sphere, an image emerged of a massive Mountain Giant leading a battle, slaughtering resisters.
If Li Chengyi saw this scene, he would recognize that the Mountain Giant was the very Demigod subordinate he had just subdued.
"Has the main God also discovered it? That is an organization known as The Garden," said a huge woman with the upper body of a human and lower body of a fish, enveloped in a blue mist, as she drifted into the palace from outside.
"Anze’s situation affects the peace of our territory; naturally, we are concerned," Weiman nodded.
"I hold the office of the prophet. Let’s see who is pulling the strings behind the scenes."
Having the ability to subdue a Demigod as a subordinate, such a black hand was significant enough to warrant him personally employing a divine divination.
His fingertips lit up again with a ball of golden light, and the golden Divine Fire ignited in his hand, pointing forward.
The translucent sphere suddenly changed images, quickly turning black.
After waiting a while, the darkness slowly brightened, becoming clear.
Within it, a vague silhouette wrapped in countless colored lights began to reveal its contour.
Bang!
In an instant, a strong and terrifying blood-red light flashed out of the sphere, lunging at Weiman.
The sphere exploded, and Weiman quickly opened his mouth, spitting out a golden lightning bolt that struck the blood light.
Boom!
The lightning and the blood light struggled against each other, persisting for a long time before slowly being eroded, turning into countless tiny spiders that scattered and shattered.
’Spiders!?’ Weiman’s expression changed slightly, seemingly recalling some terrible creature.
"Could it be, them...?" He waved his hand to disperse the lightning and the blood light, not daring to probe further.
"Main God?" The mermaid woman asked, puzzled.
"It’s nothing. As for the matters concerning The Garden, we shall ignore them in the future. If they do not offend us, there’s no need to manage them. Try to avoid conflict as much as possible," Weiman quickly said.
The mermaid woman, having never seen him so cautious, felt a chill in her heart and immediately bowed her head.
"Understood!"
Meanwhile, as Weiman was probing Li Chengyi’s situation.
Li Chengyi, who was lying on his back basking in the sun at his office, suddenly felt a tremble from the token representing the Tian Ju Pavilion at his waist, which then immediately quieted down.
"Hmm?" He picked up the Jade Pendant and after not noticing any change, he put it back down.
Returning to his senses, he once again plunged his thoughts into observing the Primordial Spirit Sword Palace.
Since Tom’s Nineteenth Seal had successfully condensed, he had been diligently guiding the other seedlings, watering them with nutrients to help them grow and endure trials.
Finally, another seedling showed signs of Sublimation.
It was that bald, crippled dwarf.
So these past few days, he had been watching The Garden’s developments while reading a plethora of intelligence reports about Anze and occasionally keeping an eye on the dwarf.
The fellow was still begging on the street, his severed upper arm barely had a bit of flesh left, and with it, he held a dirty, distorted wooden bowl, quietly sitting outside the busiest station.
Despite his disabilities, ugliness, and deformities, his eyes revealed a purity and kindness far greater than that of ordinary people.
Plop.
It was the sound of coins falling into the wooden bowl.
Three two-dollar coins, adding up to six dollars, were placed in the bowl in front of the dwarf.
"This is your share for today," a sweet female voice reached the dwarf’s ears.
He looked up and saw a short, chubby girl gently gazing at him, smiling before she turned to leave.
She wore the uniform of a nearby bakery, evidently working there.
The girl wasn’t pretty, with rough, dark skin, one eye larger than the other, and lips that seemed to have some issue, appearing to be a cleft lip.
But every day, she would put six dollars into the dwarf’s wooden bowl as a gesture of her goodwill.
This had been going on for three years.
During these years, there had been numerous times when the dwarf was unable to beg for money, when he was beaten by other beggars, when he was robbed, it was these six dollars that helped him through the toughest of times.
He had heard others call the girl Anya.
A beautiful name.
He committed it to memory.
Li Chengyi, patiently watching the dwarf, saw his gaze linger on Anya for a long time, revealing a sense of regret and wistfulness as she walked away.
In that gaze, there was a hidden depth of affection that even the dwarf himself did not notice.
That affection was heavily covered by intense self-doubt and was never expressed.
’Good child... The opportunity for the Twentieth Seal is with you!’ Li Chengyi paid close attention to the changes in the dwarf’s spirit.
The reason he noticed the dwarf might have the potential for Sublimation was because a few days earlier, when Anya had encountered a robbery at a distance and was jostled into danger, the dwarf had unintentionally seen it and felt a sudden, intense impulse and desire to rush over and protect the girl he cherished in his heart.
It was that impulse that caused his Consciousness Power to become rapidly clearer and more concentrated, and his quality to greatly improve.
Therefore, Li Chengyi took action and created a coincidence to save Anya once.
Since that day, the dwarf separated some time every day to train himself on how to crawl faster, how to use his broken limbs and stumps to grab things, to toss and strike others.
He was gathering strength for the girl he admired.
