Myriad Devils-Chapter 284: The main character

The Cosmos Forgers and Realm Fathers were not seen as a threat.

Once they came from the ancient city, the Dimension Lords did not prevent them from entering the Purity Realm Heaven.

They did not need to be born in the ancient city, but once they were not foreign practitioners that had appeared in the last few years solely for this opportunity...

Whatever they attained within could be considered their greatest fortune.

Anyway, immense waves of Dark Gold could fall into the hands of the ones who operated the ancient city, thanks to these same insignificant practitioners.

And due to their high numbers, cosmic providence was drawn to the so-called ancient cities...

Elshen shook his head.

Without being sure of his realm, the Dimension Lords would not have allowed him to enter.

And even if they were sure of his realm father status...

’According to Jade Fantasy, the Dimension Lords see me as a threat,’ Elshen mused.

He was not an insignificant realm father after all. Without Dimension Lords to step in, he directly influenced many things.

As the cosmic mysteries and mystic imageries disappeared, his gaze swept over the many groups of true powerhouses.

He glazed over the millions upon millions of Cosmos Forgers and the Realm Fathers that were unrelated to the top powers.

They were useless.

’I want to see what preparations you’ve all made.’ He thought and chuckled.

The Dimension Lords were observing behind a veil of obscurity, but Elshen would soon reveal his true self to them.

In time, they would come to understand how meaningless all of these preparations against him were...

’Hmm?’

Amidst the group of creatures contracted by the World Cooking Lord, Elshen saw a familiar face that caused his lips to curl upwards.

As if perceiving his gaze, the Master of Ancient Black Star quickly shrank back in fear.

Waves of discomfort coursed through his soul.

’Jade Fantasy wasn’t wrong.’ He thought, ’The World Cooking Lord is even splurging on useless Realm Fathers of Six Folds.’

World Cooking Lord had no hope of actually acquiring the main treasure within the Purity Realm Heaven...

He only mingled in these schemes so that others would not believe that he was just a useless Dimension Lord addicted to eating his own meals...

’He is.’ Elshen concluded.

In truth, ever since they had appeared, he had become the center of others’ attention.

At the end of the day, he was in the very eye of the storm and the target of the Dimension Lords’ schemes.

"So that is Realm Father Elshen, how intimidating." Some of the Cosmos Forgers whispered to themselves whilst looking in his direction.

"His aura is akin to a volcanic blood world. His eyes burn with endless slaughterous intent, almost like the savages from Spilling World’s Blood School of Thought." The disciples dressed in black or white were crowded together, discussing among themselves.

"Aum... Fellow pursuer of cosmic mysteries only lacks enlightenment. Indeed, the secrets of Heaven & Earth are innumerable. Bloodshed and chaos only obscure these secrets even more."

"We who have seen the way must guide the souls lost due to their hearts of desire." A bald young man of the highest form of allure, dressed in yellow robes and with a slightly hunched back, revealed an endearing smile to his fellow brothers and sisters...

"Sisters, I know now isn’t the time, but isn’t he really dignified?" An elven creature with hair in a bob-style whispered to her fellow sisters. As members of the Mystic Profundity School of Thought, they tightly held onto their chastity...

’You guys are so focused on me. What would’ve happened after you guys exhausted all your means to just barely beat me?’ Elshen shook his head.

It would’ve been laughable if he were really a Realm Father of Ten Folds, and within their expectations.

Their state after defeating such a version of him would be so deplorable that even the average Realm Father from the ancient city might leave the Purity Realm Heaven with the main treasure.

’I guess I’ll have to save you guys from the embarrassment.’

.....

Soon after the arrival of the powerhouses, the kaleidoscopic colors obscuring the Purity Realm Heaven began parting ways.

"Contracted plunderers of the Fantasy Jade Pavilion, remember that all creatures who enter the Purity Realm Heaven will be transported to a random location." A voice that was not Elshen’s resounded in the ears of all those who stood behind him.

"The Honored Dimension Lord, Mystifying Jade Fantasy, has already countered this with the Aura-Locking Guide."

"Once we enter the Realm Heaven, we are to regroup around Realm Father Elshen’s aura as soon as possible!" The voice concluded.

With a strange expression, Elshen glanced back at the one who had made these orders.

This person was the ’second-in-command’, if one could even say that.

It appeared that he took his role rather seriously.

Watching the black-haired Earth elf who had notable masculine features and a muscular physique, Elshen was momentarily speechless.

Should he annihilate this elf for being so presumptuous?

But the burly Earth elf stared at him with reverent eyes, as if a dog, waiting to be praised by its owner.

"Well done."

These words were almost stuck in his throat, but he got them out nonetheless.

The group Elshen led was the smallest, with fewer than one thousand.

Even the group contracted by the World Cooking Lord was larger, though their group was comparatively small as well.

However, the reason behind the meager amount of contractors on the side of the Jade Fantasy Pavilion was completely different than the reason on the side of the Revered Phoenix & Dragon Restaurant.

The Mystifying Jade Fantasy did not need a large group.

These rogues were only contracted to raid the Purity Realm Heaven. They received Dark Gold from the Jade Fantasy Pavilion only to do this...

They did not need to seek out the main treasure, and even though they were tasked to raid the Realm Heaven, the main focus anyway was Elshen, who had a high chance of successfully acquiring the main treasure.

If that occurred, their failure or success would not even matter. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

On the other hand, the Revered Phoenix & Dragon Restaurant and the Sapphire Heaven Company had no chance of acquiring the main treasure.

They only sought the lesser treasures of the Realm Heaven.

If they had read the contracts in detail, the contracted rogues of the Revered Phoenix & Dragon Restaurant would’ve come to an enlightening realization.

For them, there was really no need to acquire even a single cosmic treasure.

All they had to do was put on an intimidating show that propelled the authoritative image of the World Cooking Lord.

However, in this day and age, too many signed contracts without actually understanding them...

And then there were the Schools of Thought.

Each of them had hundreds of thousands and millions of Realm Father disciples. Naturally, this ranged from realm fathers of Six, Seven Folds, all the way to realm fathers of Two and One Folds...

They were tasked with acquiring as many treasures within the Realm Heaven as possible.

These cosmic treasures would immediately fall under the Schools’ possession, but those who acquired these cosmic treasures would also be rewarded handsomely.

As for the main treasure...

That was the task only for the head disciples and their followers to worry about...

Head disciples and their followers...?

The number was still a small army of Realm Fathers, each at least Seven Folds.

This was why, outside of the Schools of Thoughts, except for the Fantasy Jade Pavilion, which had the sole figure of Elshen, the other forces did not even care to obtain the main treasure, because it was impossible and improbable...
