Chapter 1941
When Valerio and Alba got the news, they were terrified.
They finally understood why the grandmaster became so flustered when he came back again after he left.
Perhaps the grandmaster already knew at that time that the Palmore family’s Sacred Saint Grandmaster Zenon had become the head of the Saints Association.
He probably did not say it because he feared that David would change his mind.
Even though the head of the Saints Association and the deputy head of the Saints Association only had a one-word difference, their roles were actually very different.
The head of the Saints Association was recognized as the strongest in Star Kingdom.
Meanwhile, there were five deputy heads, and it was hard to say who was stronger than who among them.
Not only that, but the head of the Saints Association also held the power of the Saints Association’s enforcers and could decide the life and death of countless forces with a single word.
This was something that the deputy heads did not have.
If Zenon was just an ordinary Sacred Saint, David could still ask his master to come forward, at which point the Fellowes family would very likely be saved.
After all, all Sacred Saints had a reputation to protect.
The Palmore family had a big business, and they would not dare offend a Sacred Saint at will.
Especially David’s master, a Sacred Saint who had no worries as his entire sect only consisted of two people.
Now, Zenon was the head of the Saints Association.
Would David’s master still offend such a person for the sake of the Fellowes family?
Maybe not.
The small share of Treasure Trove was not worth a Sacred Saint offending the head of the Saints Association.
Did it mean that the Fellowes family had no hope now?
Alba’s face was pale, her eyes were lifeless as she sat slumped on the ground.
They had clearly done their best.
Everything was starting to look good, but why did such an accident happen at the last minute?
The current situation was that David had no idea what kind of enemy they were dealing with.
His opponent was the head of the Saints Association, and he was likely to be the number one in Star Kingdom.
His master probably would not even show up when he heard this title, right?
“Grandpa Val, what should we do?” Alba asked in a daze.
Valerio next to her was not much better.
The moment he learned that Zenon had become the head of the Saints Association, he knew that the Fellowes family was completely doomed.
No one could save the Fellowes family, not even David’s master.
“This may be our fate. We tried our best, but we still lost to fate,” Valerio sighed.
He did not expect things to develop to this point.
‘How did Zenon become the head of the Saints Association?
‘Isn’t Sid the number one in Star Kingdom? Why did he give up his position?
‘Or has Zenon already defeated Sid to become the number one in Star Kingdom?’
“Hehe. Lost to fate? I don’t believe in fate! Otherwise, I would have accepted the family’s arrangement long ago. Grandpa Val, do you think Master David will have a solution?” Alba asked with a sad smile.
“Alba, give up! We can’t trouble Master David anymore. Even if he is willing to help us, his master will not agree. The head of the Saints Association has too much power.”
“But I’m not reconciled! We have paid so much! Why can’t God give the Fellowes family a chance? What did we do wrong?”
Chapter 1942
“We’re wrong for putting all our energy into Treasure Trove and developing it so big that even the Palmore family became jealous. If Treasure Trove were still a small business, the Fellowes family wouldn’t end up like this.”
“No! I think our biggest mistake is that we are too weak. If the Fellowes family also had a Sacred Saint, would the Palmore family dare to treat us like this?”
“Sacred Saint? It’s not that easy! After so many years of development, there are only a few Sacred Saints in the entire Star Kingdom. Even if some are hidden in secret, there would not be too many.”
“Grandpa Val, do you think David’s master could be more powerful than Zenon?” Alba asked with a hint of expectation.
“Impossible! David and his master have been hiding for so many years. Even if he’s doing that to recuperate, he might have only just recovered. How can he be more powerful than Zenon, who drove Lord Sid away?” Valerio shook his head.
Upon hearing this, Alba lost all strength and completely gave up.
She also knew that this was the outcome of their struggle, but she was unwilling so she wanted to ask.
“So, what should we do now?”
“Let’s just wait. The family will send away the young and potential direct descendants to maintain the family bloodline, but then you will live incognito. I hope that one day, you can rebuild the glory of the Fellowes family,” Valerio thought for a while and said.
“Grandpa Val, I won’t leave. I don’t want to live like that, I would rather perish with the Fellowes family,” Alba said firmly.
Alba would not be willing to live a life of darkness, fear, and the possibility of being caught by the Palmore family at any time. She would rather die.
“Alba, where there is life, there is hope. As long as you are alive, there is hope.”
“No! Grandpa Val, you know me, You know I’m not going to live a life where I’m struggling whilst at death’s door.”
“You… Gosh…” Valerio sighed, not knowing what to say.
The two remained silent for a while.
Alba also slowly calmed down.
She suddenly said, “Grandpa Val, let me tell Master David the truth! Otherwise, if his master comes out and learns that his opponent is the head of the Saints Association, he will definitely punish Master David. Let’s not implicate Master David.”
“But the grandmaster didn’t even tell Master David just now. Instead, he tried his best to recruit Master David to join us. If we tell him, won’t it affect the grandmaster’s plan?” Valerio hesitated.
“Grandpa Val, do you think there is still hope for our family?” Alba asked.
Valerio shook his head and said with certainty, “No.”
“Then we should tell Master David the real situation. The grandmaster didn’t say anything because he wanted to get David and his master to side with us. After all, with more people, we will have more strength. Plus, they just met each other not long ago and their relationship is just average. However, I don’t want Master David to think that I’m lying to him.”
After hearing what Alba said, Valerio suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
‘The Fellowes family is definitely hopeless.
‘So why not let Alba leave with David?
‘They have known each other for a long time and have a good relationship.
‘With David’s master, the Palmore family won’t dare to stop them either.
‘Moreover, she won’t have to live incognito.’
The more he thought about it, the more feasible Valerio felt the plan was.
Therefore, he said, “Alba, go and tell Master David! If necessary, you can tell him the grandmaster’s purpose for hiding this matter and that you informed him of this as soon as you get the news. You have to increase his affection toward you.”
“I’ll go now!”
After Alba finished speaking, she got up and left quickly.
She did not pay attention to Valerio’s last sentence.
All she knew was that Grandpa Val agreed to her suggestion.
If so, she had to hurry up and notify Master David.
‘I hope Master David hasn’t contacted his master yet.
‘Otherwise, he will definitely be yelled at.
‘Asking his master to deal with the head of the Saints Association?
‘Is he trying to disrespect his master and destroy his sect?’
Chapter 1943
Alba approached the room which she had just left moments ago.
After listening carefully, there seemed to be no movement inside.
‘Has Master David finished contacting his master?’
She hastily knocked on the door.
Knock knock knock!
“Come in!” David’s voice came from inside.
Alba pushed the door open and entered the room.
She saw David sitting on a chair, his face seemed a little unwell.
This surprised her.
‘Did Master David just get scolded by his master?
‘Am I too late?
‘What should I do?
‘Master David will surely be unhappy with the family and me if he found out that we have been deceiving him.
‘How should I explain this to him?’
Alba was in a state of disarray for a moment.
She did not know how to start.
David had just broken through to Sacred Saint level 1 for his Body and his combat power had reached the beginner Sacred Saint Rank. He was about to make persistent efforts and upgrade his Mind in one go when Alba arrived.
It felt like he had been interrupted halfway through urinating. The feeling of having to forcefully hold back felt horrible.
It was no wonder that he looked off-colored.
If the person coming in was not Alba, the person who had done him a great favor, David would have had a fallout with them.
‘Why are you coming back right after you left?
‘Can’t you tell me everything in one go or wait for me to finish breaking through?
‘Who would feel good about this?’
When he saw Alba in a dilemma and did not know how to start, he asked, “Miss Fellowes, you came back right after leaving. Is there anything urgent?”
“M-Master David, I… I…” Alba stuttered and could not speak.
She was so anxious that she was about to cry.
The fate of the Fellowes family could not be changed, and she did not want David to feel that she had been using him and deceiving him.
However, it was too late to say anything now.
Master David already knew the truth of the matter, so he definitely would not believe what she said anymore.
Alba’s performance aroused David’s curiosity.
‘What’s going on here?
‘Could it be that the Fellowes family situation has been compromised?
‘Is the Palmore family so quick to act?
‘How long has it been?
‘I haven’t even broken through yet!
‘If the Fellowes family is really experiencing a life or death situation, then I can only temporarily put aside this opportunity for a breakthrough and do it when I have time.
‘I should be able to temporarily solve the troubles of the Fellowes family as a beginner Sacred Saint with my clone. That will be two beginner Sacred Saints in battle.
‘After that, I will continue to break through.’
“Miss Fellowes, just say what you have to say! Don’t be burdened, as long as I can help, I will try my best to do so. Did something happen to the Fellowes family?” David asked again.
His words directly broke Alba’s defense.
She was very moved inside.
‘Master David is so nice.
‘Even though he already knows the truth and was scolded by his master, he’s still willing to help us.’
Alba said apologetically, “Master David, my family has let you down. I hope you don’t blame us. The grandmaster did something like that because he was also at a dead end. The moment I found out that the Palmore family’s grandmaster became the head of the Saints Association, I came here right away, but it turns out I was too late. I’m sorry that I was the reason you got yelled at. With the current strength and power of the Palmore family’s grandmaster, the Fellowes family is completely doomed. So, please leave. We cannot implicate you.”
David was confused.
Chapter 1944
‘What the hell is this?’
However, after what Alba said, he could vaguely understand what she meant.
The Palmore family’s grandmaster became the head of the Saints Association, and the Fellowes family was completely doomed, so Alba came here to tell him to go.
She probably thought his master was not capable of saving the Fellowes family!
After all, the head of the Saints Association was quite intimidating.
It seemed that the Saints of the entire Star Kingdom were under the jurisdiction of the Saints Association.
When others heard of the news, they would definitely be scared out of their wits, so they would no longer dare to interfere in the affairs of the Palmore family and the Fellowes family.
However, David did not care.
He did not know how the Palmore family’s grandmaster had suddenly become the head of the Saints Association, nor did he care.
‘So what if he’s the head of the Saints Association?
‘As long as his strength does not exceed Sacred Saint Rank, I have no reason to be afraid of him.
‘Even if he’s a peak Sacred Saint, I can still face him.
‘Of course, not now.
‘It will happen after my breakthrough and my combat power surpasses that of Sacred Saint.
‘Since the Fellowes family isn’t in a life or death situation, nothing is stopping me from continuing to break through.
‘I should send Alba away quickly and continue to improve!
‘When I surpass Sacred Saint Rank, I can solve everything in Star Kingdom.
‘If they can replace the head of the Saints Association once, they can do it a second time.
‘I want to make the Palmore family’s grandmaster the shortest serving head of the Saints Association.’
“Miss Fellowes, don’t worry! I said that I want to help your family, so there is absolutely no reason to back down. It will be the same no matter who the enemy is. Even if the Palmore family grandmaster becomes the head of the Saints Association, it will still be the same. Plus, my master is not the type to bully people who are weaker than him whilst fearing the ones who are more powerful than him. If there’s nothing else, you should leave now. I still have something I haven’t told my master. How about we talk about this when I’m done?” After David said that, he immediately asked Alba to leave.
He did not have time to listen to Alba say meaningless things now.
Improving his strength was the most important task right now.
He had enough lavish points, and it was so depressing that he could not spend them.
Alba was waiting to receive David’s anger, but what she got instead surprised her.
Her mind went blank.
‘What did Master David say?
‘That he would continue to help the Fellowes family? Even his master will do so?
‘It doesn’t matter who the enemy is?
‘It will not change even after he learned that the Palmore family’s grandmaster has become the head of the Saints Association?’
Alba was overwhelmed by a great sense of happiness.
She felt that David was doing this for her.
Otherwise, why would he do everything to help the Fellowes family even when he was not related to them?
“M-Master David… Boohoo… Thank you, you are so kind to me. I can only repay this kindness in the next life. Boohoo…” Alba continued to sob.
At this moment, she still did not think that David and his master could fight against the Palmore family and save the Fellowes family.
David looked at her.
‘Wait, is there a misunderstanding?
‘Did I say something that made her misunderstand?
‘Whatever.
‘This is not the time to think about that. I should improve myself now.’
“Um, Miss Fellowes. Let’s talk later, okay?” David asked her to leave again.
“Okay, I’ll go now. Master David, you have to tell your master about this. I don’t want you to have a fallout with your master because of us.”
“Alright, I got it. Bye, Miss Fellowes,” David answered quickly.
Alba turned back with every step she took. Then, she said again, “Bye, Master David.”
“Bye, Miss Fellowes.” After David said that, he slammed the door shut.
He did not want to continue talking with her.
Alba turned to leave after she saw David closing the door.
Chapter 1945
David could not wait to turn on the system after he returned to his position just now and sat down.
His Body had reached the Sacred Saint level 1 and his combat power had also reached beginner Sacred Saint Rank.
However, his Mind was still at True Saint level 10.
He had more than 28.1 million lavish points left.
So, he clicked directly on Mind.
[This upgrade will consume 10 million lavish points. After the upgrade, the host’s Mind will change from the original True Saint level 10 to Sacred Saint level 1. Please confirm whether to proceed.]
‘Yes!’
[The host’s Mind is upgrading, please wait.]
David closed his eyes again, feeling the swelling pain caused by the growth of his mind power.
Every breakthrough of his Mind was a kind of torment.
It would be better if it was a small realm, but if it was a big one, it would make him feel as if his brains were being blown out.
Ordinary people would not be able to endure it.
Even if David’s willpower was extremely strong, he was unwilling to experience it a second time.
If he wanted to improve his strength, he had to endure pain. This was inevitable.
David did not know if other people would encounter this when they were breaking through, but he did.
Even so, he understood.
Others only had a slight chance to break through after a long period of accumulation, and they might not necessarily succeed.
Meanwhile, he got this chance from the system, and he would not fail.
If he could not bear even a little pain, how could the system continue to favor him?
There were pros and cons to this!
In contrast, David knew that what he had gained was far more than what he had lost.
After Alba left, she found Valerio again.
“Alba, how was it?” Valerio asked.
“Grandpa Val, Master David said that he and his master will continue to help us. They will not run away just before the battle no matter who the enemy is, even if it is the head of the Saints Association,” Alba replied.
“Oh, Master David is confused! He has lived in seclusion for too long and he probably doesn’t know what the head of the Saints Association represents. The head is the most powerful person in Star Kingdom and the person with the most authority. He can also decide the life and death of countless forces with one word. Even if David and his master won’t run away, they won’t be able to help us and they will also offend Zenon. By then, their lives in Star Kingdom will be absolute hell,” Valerio sighed.
“Then what should we do?”
When Alba heard that David and his master might offend Zenon and have a hard time in Star Kingdom, she began to panic again.
In reality, Alba had never been in such a mess before.
She had always been a woman with both beauty and wisdom. Moreover, she was also a famous talent in the Central Sacred Continent and even Star Kingdom.
Even if she was arranged by the Fellowes family to marry Anders from the Palmore family, she had never been so nervous and flustered.
However, after meeting David, Alba’s IQ kept dropping.
Especially if the matter was related to David.
It was as if she had lost her ability to think.
“Alba, did Master David say anything besides that he wouldn’t run away?”
“Master David said that we should talk later. He seemed very anxious just now, and that he might want to contact his master,” Alba recalled and said.
“Then let’s wait for Master David to finish his work before we talk to him.”
“Okay! I’ll talk to Master David later.”
“Alba, what do you think of Master David?” Valerio asked suddenly.
“Huh? What do you mean?” Alba’s brain could not register what Valerio said for a moment.
“How do you feel about Master David?”
“He’s amazing, of course. Not only is he young, powerful, and unassuming, but he’s also kind to others. Plus, he’s a man of his word. He’s a man with only merits,” Alba replied honestly.
Chapter 1946
“Alba, it is clear that Master David values you very much. You have known each other for a long time and have a good relationship. The Fellowes family will definitely not be able to escape this time and you don’t want to live incognito. Hence, you should just leave with Master David! How about being a maid for Master David and taking care of his daily life? With his master protecting him, Zenon won’t dare to do anything over the line. If you agree, I’ll go find Master David later and entrust you to him.”
Alba was stunned when she heard this.
However, after only a moment, she came back to her senses.
Frankly speaking, she would be very willing to follow David, be David’s maid, and take care of David’s daily life.
Even if she had never served anyone before, one could learn.
However, this was not the time.
Now, the Fellowes family was facing a life-and-death situation.
As the third young mistress of the Fellowes family, she had enjoyed all the benefits brought by the Fellowes family, so she would not abandon the family and escape alone.
If she did that, David might even look down on her.
Alba shook her head and said, “Grandpa Val, I will not abandon my family and survive alone.”
“Alba, the Fellowes family will not take a turn for the better whether you stay here or not. If you stay, you will die, and you may even suffer a fate even worse than death. So, why bother?” Valerio persuaded.
“Grandpa Val, don’t worry, the Palmore family will only be able to capture my dead body; they won’t take me alive.”
“You… Oh, you silly girl.”
“I’m not silly. As a member of the Fellowes family, I have at least this much awareness.”
“If you do, you should listen to me and give the Fellowes family a little hope.”
When the two were arguing, David was in great pain.
His brain felt as if it had been split open.
He gritted his teeth, forcing himself to not pass out.
The improvement of his Mind was much more painful than the improvement of his Body.
One was the pain from the body, while the other was the pain from the soul. The two were not at the same level at all.
David had no idea how long it had been.
He only felt dizzy.
Suddenly, the pain was gone.
It had completely disappeared, and not a single bit of it remained.
‘Have I succeeded?’
David opened his eyes.
A beam of light visible to the naked eye shot out from his eyes, and at the same time, a mind storm formed around his body.
He quickly controlled it and retracted his mind power.
Otherwise, a large area might get completely destroyed by his mind storm.
David felt refreshed instantly.
His perception had also improved a lot.
He turned on the system.
His Mind had changed from True Saint level 10 to Sacred Saint level 1.
At this point, both his Body and Mind had reached Sacred Saint Rank.
Although the upgrade of his Mind did not increase his combat power, it was the most important and painful part.
Now, it was finally over.
He still had 18.81 million lavish points left.
Next, he could continue to upgrade his Body and Mind to Sacred Saint level 10.
Then, under the effect of the double limit, David’s combat power would also soar to a whole new level.
It would be a level beyond Sacred Saint Rank.
At this moment, David was also full of curiosity and anticipation.
‘I wonder what kind of realm it will be after Saint realm.’
Chapter 1947
David clicked on Body and a window popped up.
[This upgrade will consume one million lavish points. After the upgrade, the host’s Body will be upgraded from the original Sacred Saint level 1 to Sacred Saint level 2. Please confirm whether to proceed.]
‘Yes!’
Next, his Body became Sacred Saint level 2.
Then, level 3, level 5, and level 7. Finally, he reached Sacred Saint level 10.
So far, he had finished upgrading his Body.
David’s combat power had also reached peak Sacred Saint Rank.
At this time, he was no longer afraid of anyone in Star Kingdom.
Even if he met someone who was also a peak Sacred Saint, he could still win the battle.
One could not forget that David had a clone.
Once cast, there would be two peak Sacred Saints, coupled with the assistance of his two weapons, the Evil-Splitting Sword and the God of Thunder Hammer.
Among the six known Sacred Saints in Star Kingdom, only one or two were peak Sacred Saints.
Hence, even if the six Sacred Saints joined forces, David would not fear them.
Although there was no guarantee of victory, he would at least not be defeated.
He felt excited just thinking about fighting alone against the six Sacred Saints of Star Kingdom without being in a disadvantageous position.
However, David was still not satisfied with this.
Peak Sacred Saint Rank was not his goal.
When he proposed the figure of 400 trillion Star Dollars to the Fellowes family, he was doing that so he could surpass Sacred Saint Rank.
A peak Sacred Saint was not yet invincible.
Only by surpassing Sacred Saint Rank could one be truly invincible in Star Kingdom.
Even if there were six more Sacred Saints in addition to the original six, David could still easily crush them to death like ants.
David did not like an evenly matched battle or a battle where he narrowly escaped death.
He liked to crush his enemy with his strength without the enemy being able to resist at all.
This was the best way to fight.
It was like when he was crushing Pre-Saint Nek as a True Saint.
He wanted to let the enemy experience what was true despair.
After feeling the surging power in his body for a while, David continued to open the system. Then, he set his sights on the Mind column and clicked on it.
[This upgrade will consume one million lavish points. After the upgrade, the host’s Mind will be increased from the original Sacred Saint level 1 to Sacred Saint level 2. Please confirm whether to
proceed.]
Of course, David chose yes without hesitation.
Then, he upgraded himself to Sacred Saint level 2, level 3, level 4, and all the way to level 10.
When David’s Mind reached Sacred Saint level 10, there was a sudden buzz in his head.
He seemed to have broken some kind of shackle, like he had undergone a metamorphosis.
A lot of information flooded his mind.
David did not have time to check the information as he desperately wanted to know what level his combat power had reached.
He wanted to know if he had gone beyond Sacred Saint Rank and what realm came after Saint Realm.
He quickly opened the system, and his eyes were locked on the combat power column.
[Combat Power: Partial Pre-Deity Rank]
‘Partial Pre-Deity Rank?
‘So, does it mean Deity Realm is after Saint Realm?
‘Saint Realm and Deity Realm sounded fine.
‘However, calling myself a Deity feels a bit awkward.’
David thought about it for a bit but quickly ignored it.
It did not matter what realm he was in, he would be fine as long as he could crush Sacred Saints.
As for whether it was Deity Realm or Demon Realm, it was all the same to him.
As long as his combat power improved, the rest would not matter.
A name was just a label.
After he was relieved, David began to check the information that had just flooded into his mind.
It took a while, but he finally understood after he finished reviewing the information.
After Saint Realm was not Deity Realm as he had initially thought, but instead, it was Divine Realm.
This Divine Realm was not at the same as God Rank on Earth.
Chapter 1948
Even though both realms had similar connotations, the gap between them was huge. It was as if one was the sky and the other was the earth. They could not be placed on the same level with each other.
God Rank was a ranking limited to Earth.
Meanwhile, Divine Realm was recognized by all of the civilizations in the universe.
Earth had never gotten into contact with the outside world, and that was why it used the word God in the ranking it created for itself.
If the other civilizations in the universe found out that a civilization that was not even at level 1 was using the word ‘God’ in its power ranking, they would die from laughter.
In reality, the ranking recognized by the universe started from Star Realm.
The ones under Star Realm were all unqualified and were not included in the universal ranking.
These unqualified rankings were unilaterally determined by their respective societies.
There were a lot of civilizations in the universe that were less than level 1, just like Earth.
Therefore, there were a lot of different and unique rankings below Star Realm.
Earth was just one of them.
Someone might even think Saint Realm was the same as Divine Realm.
Aside from that, David also found out that Divine Realm had three ranks just like the other realms.
Anyone who just got into Divine Realm would be a Pre-Deity.
When David’s Mind and Body were at the double limit of Sacred Saint Rank, his combat power would reach partial Pre-Deity Rank.
Not only would his Saint’s body slowly turn into a Divine body, but even his Saint’s Power would also slowly turn into Divine Power.
After he got through the transition period of being a partial Pre-Deity, his Saint Power and Saint’s body would successfully metaphorize into becoming a true Deity.
After he went from Saint Realm to Divine Realm, the way he cultivated would also change.
Not only could he cultivate through hard work, but he could also take one civilization under his wing to gain their faith. Then, he could use that to improve himself.
Sacred Saints did not have this power.
Saints could only depend on themselves, while a Deity could get help from a civilization.
After Pre-Deity Rank, it would be Primordial Deity Rank.
After Primordial Deity Rank, it would be Ancestral Deity Rank.
Ancestral Deity Rank was the last rank in Divine Realm, it was also equivalent to Sacred Saint in Saint Realm.
There would be another level beyond Ancestral Deity Rank.
However, there was no information about the realm after Divine Realm.
After reading about the information on Divine Realm, David breathed a huge sigh of relief.
He was finally beyond Saint Realm.
At the same time, Saint Realm was the highest combat power in Star Kingdom.
If that was the case, he was already stronger than the highest combat power in Star Kingdom.
Now, he could do what he wanted without any restrictions, and no one in Star Kingdom could stop him.
Even if Zenon and the like became the head of the Saints Association, David could easily wipe them out.
David quelled his excitement, stood up, and moved his body.
Every movement seemed to carry some kind of power.
Even the space could not bear a movement as simple as David clenching his fists, resulting in countless cracks.
“Is this the power of a partial Pre-Deity? It’s really powerful. It’s not comparable to Saint Realm at all. I’m just a partial Pre-Deity, so how strong will I be when I am a full Deity?” David murmured.
However, after that, David thought of another problem.
After he broke through to partial Pre-Deity Rank, the system did not change or upgrade.
In other words, his strength had reached a limit now, and he could not continue to improve.
According to the rules of the system, if he wanted to continue upgrading, he would need 100 million lavish points.
However, what happened today showed that even if he spent all of his money in the system, it would still not be enough for 100 million lavish points.
He could only have a chance to break through to the proper Divine Realm if he went to a civilization more advanced than Star Kingdom and triggered the system into upgrading itself.
To be honest, David was no longer willing to go to a more advanced civilization.
Every time he arrived at a new civilization, he would encounter new situations, urging him to continue working hard to improve his strength by spending money.
He would have to worry about it for a long time.
Moreover, there would inevitably be some uncontrollable accidents throughout his journey.
David felt exhausted after coming here all the way from Earth.
He wanted to go back to Earth to rest.
When he was done resting and living, he would then continue to a higher civilization to explore more of its secrets with no worries.
If he encountered any accidents, he would just die.
Furthermore, he did not want to go as he had too many things he was unwilling to part with.
Chapter 1949
West End of the Central Sacred Continent, where the main residence of the Fellowes family was located.
The place was under surveillance by the Palmore family.
The powerful members of the Palmore family had come to the Central Sacred Continent long ago, but they had been hiding in the dark.
When the Palmore family’s grandmaster Zenon became the head of the Saints Association, they no longer had any scruples. Therefore, they collectively showed up and surrounded the Fellowes family. They would only allow anyone to enter but not to leave.
Since a top power like the Palmore family wanted to take action against the Fellowes family, they would have no reasons to spare them.
Zenon tried his best to win over the other four deputy heads so they would force Sid to abdicate. Then, he became the head of the Saints Association himself so that Sid would not stop him when he made a move on the Fellowes family.
Now, he had succeeded.
With Sid ousted, the Palmore family could start taking action.
There was nothing the Fellowes family could do about the Palmore family.
They could only stay at home temporarily and try not to leave out of fear of starting a conflict with the Palmore family.
However, this only bought them some time.
Zenon would definitely come with his people soon.
After all, the Fellowes family had three True Saints. If Zenon, the Sacred Saint, did not make a move, the Fellowes family would still remain intact. Even if the Palmore family won, it would inevitably be a miserable victory.
In truth, as the situation became more and more unfavorable recently, the Fellowes family had made some preparations. They quietly sent out some of the family’s most talented direct descendants.
Those direct descendants had already arrived at Large Trade Zone 47.
The reason they went to Large Trade Zone 47 was that the elders of the family knew that David the True Saint was there.
Hence, if the Palmore family came after them after finding out the truth, they would still have a chance to fight back.
With David’s True Saint Rank strength, he could protect some of the Fellowes family’s bloodline.
Three old men were sitting together in the forbidden area of the Fellowes family.
One of them was True Saint Cedar who had just rushed back to the Fellowes family.
Compared with the other two, he looked much younger.
A True Saint would get to their destination very quickly via the seven-dimensional space.
The other two were also True Saint grandmasters of the Fellowes family.
However, like Sahar, they were still injured.
“Ceddy, how are things going?” Asked an old man who seemed to be on the verge of death.
“Great-grandpa, everything has been arranged. The talented direct descendants of the family have all been sent out and they should all be there now. With David around, there will be no accidents, so don’t worry,” Cedar replied.
This old man was Cedar’s great-grandfather.
This was truly unexpected.
“That’s good! They can destroy the Fellowes family, but they can’t destroy our bloodline.”
“I understand! Zenon has become the head of the Saints Association, and I don’t expect to be able to rely on David and his master to make a comeback. I just want their help to maintain the Fellowes family’s bloodline.”
“Alas! No one thought that Zenon, who hid so deeply, could defeat Lord Sid. I am afraid that he is already a peak Sacred Saint. This will be the death of the Fellowes family,” the old man sighed.
Chapter 1950
“Great-grandpa, what I didn’t expect is the Ginger family’s grandmaster to be on Zenon’s side,” Cedar wondered.
“Because of interest! Do you think that after we collapse, the Lightfoot family would get away scot-free? No way! Soon they would follow in our footsteps too.”
“You mean… the Ginger family will take action against the Lightfoot family too? No way! They have such a good relationship.” Cedar was shocked.
“Not only the Lightfoot family but also the other two. In the future, the top five trading companies in Star Kingdom will fall into the hands of the five major forces. As for the Saints Association, the moment Sid lost to Zenon, it already existed only in name. From now on, Star Kingdom’s structure will have the Palmore family as the head, followed by the other four.”
“What about David and his master? There is a Sacred Saint among them!” Cedar asked.
“They have been hiding for many years and they are too weak. They would only have a place in Star Kingdom if David were also a Sacred Saint, with two Sacred Saints in one sect. Otherwise, it will be difficult! After all, there is only so much interest in Star Kingdom, so no one wants two more people to split the profits with. There is also another possibility. That is, all the powerhouses who are hiding in the dark to recuperate show up and forming an alliance to get a share of some resources.”
“Great-grandpa, I’ve always had a question about this.”
“What is it? If I know, I will tell you.”
“Why do I feel that the atmosphere of Star Kingdom has become tenser and tenser in recent years? Especially the forces who have a long history. They are even beginning to scramble for resources in
secret. If the Saints Association hadn’t been suppressing them, Star Kingdom might have already been thrust into chaos long ago.”
“This is because the golden age of Star Kingdom arrived thousands of years ago. Don’t you think that Star Kingdom has produced too many geniuses in these years? Every golden age will be accompanied by catastrophe, so that’s why everyone wants to protect themselves.”
…
Valerio was still persuading Alba to leave with David so she could keep a little hope for the Fellowes family.
At this time, he suddenly received news from the elders of the Fellowes family.
They were asking him to send the direct descendants of the Fellowes family together with Alba to a safe place.
“Alba, I was right. The family has already sent away some talented direct descendants. Come with me to meet the hopes of the Fellowes family,” Valerio said.
“Grandpa Val, how is the family doing now?” Alba asked.
“Alas… The Fellowes Residence is being monitored by powerhouses sent by the Palmore family. They are only allowed to enter, but not to exit. I think they’re waiting for the elders of the Palmore family and Zenon, the head of the Saints Association, to appear. Only then will they take action against the family.”
“The Palmore family has taken action so soon?” Alba exclaimed.
“It’s more than that! I’m afraid they have already sent people into the Central Sacred Continent too. They’re just waiting for Zenon to become the head of the Saints Association. They will start to act after they take care of the hidden danger, which is the Saints Association.”
“So, what should we do now?” Alba asked.
“The family entrusted us with the task. We should help the geniuses sent by the family to find a place to hide so that they can continue some semblance of the family’s bloodline.”
“Then let’s go!” Alba urged.
The two left quickly together.
After David’s breakthrough, he did not go out immediately.
He raised his strength from late True Saint Rank to partial Pre-Deity Ran in one go, directly passing Sacred Saint Rank, which countless people could only dream of. This leap was pretty significant.
Therefore, he still needed some time to get used to this.
Otherwise, he might destroy the Central Sacred Continent if he did not control it well.
While David was adapting to his new power…
Boom!
There was a loud noise.
Immediately afterward, the ground started shaking.
Then, David heard a loud laugh.
“Haha! Alba, you b*tch, you never thought this day would come, right? You should ask my family if your family is allowed to send away the direct descendants in secret. Today is the day I will exterminate your
entire bloodline and hope of the Fellowes family. I will now return the humiliation you showed me ten times over!”
New chapter please…
