At that moment, everyone in the hall turned their attention to the pair standing behind Xius. Both were cloaked in pristine white capes, wearing duck-billed hats that obscured much of their faces. Upon closer inspection, one could see faint lines etched into the sides of their jaws, giving them an almost beastly aura as they stood still.
Despite their appearance, they seemed no different from ordinary people, yet their presence exuded a power that rivaled most of those present. Xius, however, narrowed his eyes and slammed his hand on the table, declaring, "That's right! I intend to establish a new era led by us! We will take control of the age of Gene Warriors! Partners, let’s make it happen! In time, we will be seen as gods in the eyes of these ordinary folks! And for those who do not join me, when Divine Power fades away, you will only grow old gradually. Let me be frank—I have developed a Gene Serum that can restore youth to the elderly. After further testing, I believe our time will come!"
Xius's words were compelling. Most of the men and women in the hall were showing signs of aging; they formed the Western Gods on Olympus, akin to those from the Unknown Land in the East. These individuals had been passed down through generations and would eventually age, albeit more slowly than ordinary people. However, with the disappearance of Divine Power, they too would face the same fate as everyone else.
This notion was unbearable for those accustomed to power and youth. In an instant, Xius had already won over a portion of them. Shortly thereafter, he led this group away from the hall. Diana and the remaining individuals conferred briefly before departing as well. Compared to the East, those in the West who adapted to the changing times were nearly defeated; very few remained who could embrace this shift.
Xius stood alongside Young Master Jie. From within the circle of Extraordinary Persons, it was evident that those seeking restoration had gained a decisive advantage. At that moment inside America’s Cathedral, a young man with black hair and black eyes sat at the head of the table conversing with another man beside him—this was none other than Xius, who had just led most of their group away. Xius said, "Jie! I believe this century-defining collaboration will allow us to truly unite East and West!"
The young man with black hair was Jie, Qing's younger brother. He raised his glass and replied, "It is an honor for a descendant of the Sun God to choose to stand with us. I believe our hopes will come to fruition!"
The two clinked glasses and drank heartily. Jie then spoke up: "Xius! Have you ever heard of the Divine King's Scepter?"
"The Divine King's Scepter? Young Master Jie, are you referring to our Western Zeus's Grip?" Xius asked.
Upon hearing this name, Jie's eyes sparkled with excitement as he responded, "Exactly! I wonder if this treasure truly exists!"
Furrowing his brow in thought, Xius replied, "Originally, I shouldn't share this with you as a guardian from the East; after all, this concerns the Western Gods. However, since we are united now, it’s no harm! Indeed! Zeus's Grip is a symbol of our Western Gods and is currently enshrined on Olympus! What do you wish for it?"
"Oh! Don't worry; I'm here to provide you all with absolutely reliable information that proves my sincerity!" Jie stated.
"Are you aware of the Prehistoric Ruins?" Jie asked directly. At this point, Xius scanned those behind him before responding: "Of course! We on Olympus have our own legends regarding this matter. Before departing Earth, Creator God left behind countless treasures and cultivation methods and even granted future generations a glimmer of hope!"
At that moment, a woman behind Xius said, "But the Transcendence ruins are also the key to destruction; they are Pandora's box! Civilizations that attempted to open this box have already perished, just like our Western Atlantis, which vanished into the river of time!"
As soon as she spoke, everyone in the Cathedral recalled the taboos left by their ancestors. Xius glanced at the woman behind him and said, "Rela! Some things are not as simple as they appear! The calamities brought by Pandora's box also bring hope; it’s just that those people failed to seize it!"
"Well said! Xius is right! There’s something I perhaps shouldn’t mention at this moment, but I must clarify: everyone knows that your Western gods appeared later than our Eastern realm!" This statement fell upon the Cathedral like a heavy silence; although it was true, it still stung.
However, at this moment, Jie interjected, "So there are some things we know in the Eastern realm that you may not. Since we are cooperating, we should synchronize our information. You may not be aware that in the East, there is a Divination Compass, while in the West, there is the Divine King's Scepter! Both treasures can locate the four keys to the Prehistoric Ruins, which are essentially four maps. I have already discussed with Xius that if we want to restore our former glory, we must reconstruct the Spirit Barrier of Earth, and the method for doing so lies within these Prehistoric Ruins!"
"However, I must say! You all should know that the current master of our realm is actually my sister! I only learned some things I shouldn't have because of her indulgence. Unfortunately, even though I stole the Divination Compass from her, it was ultimately taken back by her people. Therefore, I hope you in the West can bring forth the Divine King's Scepter to jointly search for the four maps needed to construct the Prehistoric Ruins!" Jie laid out his intentions.
At this point, everyone in the Cathedral began discussing among themselves. Jie remained calm, sitting quietly at the head of the table. He knew these individuals would ultimately become his weapons because once Qi dissipated completely, they would be unable to bear it.
Before long, Xius looked at Jie and said, "Young Master Jie! There’s something I want to ask! Is it true that our Western Transcendence era's attempts to modify the Spirit Barrier ended in failure and death?"
Without hesitation, Jie nodded and replied, "According to records from my realm, since the map shattered during the Ancient Era and through several civilizational transitions on Earth, they too rejected the replacement of new eras just like we do now. As a result, their restoration failed and everything returned to zero!"
Jie seemed to have no illusions about this; he clearly understood the cost of resisting the changes of time. However, upon hearing this, the Western Gods furrowed their brows without showing any fear. At this moment, Xius spoke up again: "Alright then! Let’s do it! If I die, I don’t want anyone who replaces us to appear! If we succeed, we will be masters of this era; if we fail, I will drag the entire world down with me!"
Hearing Xius's words brought Jie a sense of relief; she was indeed living up to his expectations. Under absolute pressure, these Western Gods were not as open-minded as those from the Eastern realm. The immense pressure instead ignited their inner desires; a true hero must possess such spirit—better for me to bear resentment than let my subordinates bear my wrath. Now this kind of momentum was already present in his partner!
Xius's ambition was exactly what Jie needed. If possible, Jie could also possess such spirit; however, in the East, it was impossible for him to manifest it. While he could manage minor actions there, pursuing his ambitions on a larger scale would attract attention from hidden old-timers within that realm who would never allow him free rein. Now he had found an ideal partner.
Looking at Xius's ambitious demeanor, Jie thought: Sister! Even if you took away the Divination Compass, what does it matter? The Divine King's Scepter from the West is far more precise than the Divination Compass. Moreover, with sacrifices from Westerners on my side, you surely won’t come to disrupt us again! Perhaps you don’t know that Yan Zi’s map is already in my hands! With this thought in mind, Jie couldn’t help but smile happily.
Not long after, Xius had returned to Mount Olympus, eager to retrieve the Divine King's Scepter. However, he found himself in an awkward situation! To take the Divine King's Scepter from the statue of Zeus on Olympus, several core gods from the Western Gods had to act simultaneously. Xius was a descendant of the Sun God, while Diana was a descendant of the Sea God. Although Xius had the support of the other four descendants, Diana had left Mount Olympus with followers of the Sea God. Now, Xius and his companions stood beneath the statue, facing the scepter that was within reach but completely out of their grasp.
"Brother Xius, what should we do? Should we force our way in?" asked a descendant of the War God behind him, raising his hammer.
"Clang!" A sound echoed as he knocked his own head, rubbing it in frustration. Xius exclaimed, "Are you crazy? Have you forgotten the price of attacking a statue? Are you brainless?"
"Sea God! The bloodline of the Sea God! Right, let's call this Pope Arthur from the Church! Isn't he also a descendant of those who left Olympus with the Sea God?" Xius suddenly thought of Pope Arthur.
"Brother Xius, this Pope is on his last legs; his cultivation is barely holding on, and he's already running out of lifespan!" said a woman named Rela beside Xius.
Realizing this, Xius gritted his teeth and said, "Do you think Diana would let her subordinates help us? It would be just right to use this soon-to-be decayed person as a blood sacrifice for the Divine King's Scepter! Otherwise, according to Young Master Jie’s method, who among you will sacrifice blood for the scepter?"
At that moment, everyone fell silent. Having cultivated to their level, they knew there weren't many ancient beings left. However, no one wanted to die without gaining anything. Hearing this, they all instinctively closed their mouths. Although Arthur was a Pope and an ancient being, he was just an ordinary person who had reached this level. Naturally, those with divine bloodlines would not risk themselves for such a person.
Thus, no one would have expected that the Pope who once dealt a significant blow to Xiao Yefeng would be so easily abandoned at this moment. Ironically, at that very moment, this forsaken Pope was still diligently serving Jie, the Son of the Eastern Realm!
