That little bit of reputation issue won't bother the higher-ups; on the contrary, they'll think Naims has enough guts.

Parsons, despite having a good hand, doesn't need to worry too much.

"The key lies in the cascading explosion of hidden dangers." Naims managed to cope with the first wave of attacks during this period of historical transition and cut off the cascading explosion of hidden dangers.

However, he believes that the second wave of the historical transition is also imminent.

This time, there weren't many hidden dangers on their side. One was the fabricated agreement, and the other was Nemus's demonic identity.

Both of these are relatively difficult to expose.

Therefore, the second wave of attacks is very likely not a hidden danger, but rather the appearance of various real enemies who will then attack us.

For example, the realm of Arhats.

Judging from Granny Bird's situation, this branch of Aro Realm has almost fully developed and is probably trying to summon the main body back here.

It should be successful in a few days.

On the other side, Jacques, who has transformed into a skeletal monster and is fleeing, will most likely be attracted as well, since both his own body in Niall's body and the white-tailed fox's current disguise as Sisimari are practically the last Dartment.

Apart from that, the Holy Son has not appeared in the Dartmenley family.

The other party is clearly also making final preparations.

And then there's Rhine, who hasn't made a move yet; he's one of the key figures.

He should be turning into a golden seed soon.

To become a Golden Seed, given his status as a failed Holy Son, he might be quite different from a normal human.

The other party's promotion will most likely require some external assistance.

In addition, White, who has been hiding all along, and the people on the church's side, may become his enemies through various chain reactions.

An unprecedented battle is about to begin.

"Hopefully it will be soon, I can't wait any longer." Nems seemed to already smell the blood.

He needs to deal with enemies from different camps, defeat them, and maintain his overall position.

This process involves not only battles, but also various decision-making games and personal growth.

If he fails to handle even one problem properly, he will face utter defeat.

Even predicting the future is useless.

Currently, what we can observe through the book of time, through revelations, and through observation of future developments is all loss.

The value of those observed futures decreases as time becomes increasingly urgent.

"All we can do is develop ourselves and then deal with everything we face!"

Nemus closed his eyes, began to take deep breaths, felt the fluctuations of luck, and then began to modify and improve the luck breathing technique.

-----------------

Two people were following Anse, searching for clues, but they didn't have many leads.

Grandma Bird has been missing for some time now. During this time, he has almost abandoned his gang and focused on leading a few people who have also received Grandma Bird's kindness to search for her whereabouts.

However, the longer time went on, the fewer clues he received.

Most of the people around him had already given up hope. The only reason they were still searching was because they wanted to find him alive or dead.

"We have news!" A henchman suddenly ran over, his face full of grief.

Seeing the other person's expression, even though he had expected it, Anse couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

"Speak," Anse said, taking a deep breath and waiting for news.

“Someone sent us a message saying that Granny Bird’s disappearance is related to the demon egg that the church was looking for.”

Upon learning that Granny Bird's disappearance was related to the Demon Egg, Anse immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.

Ordinary people who don't know about the Demon Egg might think it's just like before, perhaps something like a small demon.

However, Anse was once a nobleman, and he had seen the church's report.

Grandma Bird was just an ordinary person; if she had been targeted by that kind of thing, there was no way she would still be alive.

Anse then inquired about the source and details of the information, which basically confirmed its authenticity.

"Boss..."

"Then prepare for revenge. My life was given to me by Granny Bird, and I will fight that demon to the death."

“You all still have families, so don’t go and die.”

After saying that, Anse headed towards the northern district.

His henchmen exchanged glances, some backing down while others followed in Anse's footsteps.

Chapter 250 Rot and Soul

"Is this the place?" Anse had arrived at an area based on the intelligence.

At the same time, he had changed his appearance.

The hempen and leather armor that he used to wear in the southern district has now been replaced with heavy metal armor. On the heavy armor, there are rough lines that depict the appearance of some wild beasts.

He was a loser in the struggle among the nobility.

His uncle won the struggle, usurped his father's position as head of the family, and severely wounded him.

Over the years, Anse has never been to the North District, and the North District family has never come looking for him.

Today, Anse has returned to his family.

It was precisely at this moment that Anse's arrival made his uncle hesitant to take action.

On one hand, Baiwei Town is in turmoil, and everyone is keeping a low profile. On the other hand, there are two people from Qiquan City.

In this situation, any slight movement will be magnified.

On the other hand, Anse's proposal also greatly appealed to his uncle.

Anse took some of the resources and then left to cause trouble for the demons.

Whether he's dead or alive, Anse will leave Baiwei Town completely.

At least he can get a good night's sleep without worrying that Anse will suddenly return one day and take away his position as head of the family.

Looking at Anse, who was wearing armor and had tidied his hair and beard, his uncle was momentarily stunned, as if he were seeing his deceased elder brother.

Whether it was because he sensed Anse's suicidal intent or because of a long-lost pang of conscience, he asked, "Is it worth it for a stranger?"

Over the years, he knew that Anse had always harbored thoughts of revenge, and he himself had always wanted to eliminate him completely.

But I never expected that this matter would end in this way.

"At least Grandma Bird gave me the most sincere feelings."

"The various things about noble families are not as good as these in my opinion."

It's impossible to say there's no resentment.

However, it's unlikely that he had a strong conviction to reclaim the position of head of the family.

“I remember when I was little, you used to carry me around to play.” Anse’s words made his uncle feel a little dazed.

"But what has all this turned into?"

In the struggle for power, all past feelings become worthless.

The uncle opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, such as how his beloved woman had been secretly given away by his elder brother to hurt him, or how one of his talented children had died inexplicably.

But saying these things now seems pointless.

"Uncle, one last reminder: pay more attention to your children. They all look up to you as a role model." After saying this, Anse took his things and left.

His uncle was left looking bewildered, which then turned into doubt, and finally into helplessness.

He used to have a good relationship with his older brother, but as he started to make a name for himself, his older brother became very wary of him.

In fact, this precaution was justified, because at that time he genuinely believed that his elder brother was unworthy of the position of family head.

The same applies to this situation now; the conflicts between one's own children cannot be resolved.

In comparison, the path Anse chose might be more reassuring.

Whether he felt at ease or not, Anse didn't know; all he knew was that he was extremely angry at that moment.

In this relatively secluded spot on the outskirts of the southern district, the carcasses of wild animals were everywhere, and the stench attracted a large number of scavengers.

At the same time, there was an ominous atmosphere throughout the area.

In the dim light, one could even smell an indescribable odor.

The smell was hidden among the putrid stench, similar to sulfur, yet with some differences.

It's more like a kind of psychological 'devilish flavor'.

The sulfurous smell comes from the belief that the abyss is filled with lava.

Gradually, the smell of sulfur became associated with demons, which is why people would smell this ambiguous odor when there was enough demonic element in a certain place.

Anse knew at that moment that he had found the place.

Grandma Bird was kidnapped by this demon.

Now that this demon is killing so many lives without any attempt at concealment, it's clear that we've reached a critical moment.

If he couldn't be stopped, then when those demons crawled out of the abyss, he probably wouldn't even have been able to retrieve Granny Bird's last body.

As for wanting revenge, that's utterly absurd.

Most importantly, the soul of Granny Bird cannot be taken to the abyss by the demons!

"Therefore, we cannot retreat; we can only fight head-on!" Anse himself made up his mind, as did the underlings who had followed him.

They lived their lives in a daze, just aimless drifters in the South District with no future.

If I drifted aimlessly in my youth, and now I can die fighting against evil to avenge myself against it, perhaps that will give my life some meaning!

Meanwhile, within the church, Zovin had just received a promise from Seppelison.

The church will not covet his demon bloodline.

According to Gotthard, if the number of historical records is insufficient to qualify as a legendary species, then it has little significance for a golden species.

The Golden Seed represents the limit of life. After that, each relatively large improvement requires the Golden Seed to be increased in number, just like advancing to the Golden Seed level.

These numbers must be roughly the same as the numbers you used when you first advanced, and they must be from the same source.

Even at certain joints, it is necessary to purify its own numbers.

However, if a portion of the historical data becomes the basis for a gold mine, then the path to the future is essentially blocked.

The chances of planting the legendary seed are too slim, and the road ahead is too difficult.

Furthermore, a normal gold-grade variety, if upgraded to its maximum value, is not necessarily weaker than a legendary variety.

In this situation, if you are confident that you can be promoted and you have enough potential, then don't be greedy for those incomplete historical records.

The more you possess, the more difficult it will be to purify yourself in the future.

Those who desire historical numbers either want to truly ascend to legendary status, or they simply lack understanding of these things.

At least for Sepperson personally, he would not jeopardize his future for the sake of some historical statistic.

He came here only to stabilize the order in Baiwei Town and to use this incident to open up the situation for the ruling faction in Baiwei Town.

Therefore, securing Zuowen's support and getting him on his side was the first thing he would do after arriving.

As Zovin was pondering how to help Isabella and Seperison, a paladin whose face was obscured appeared nearby and tossed a piece of paper to Zovin not far away.

The text clearly states the bird grandmother's experiences and the fact that her soul was trapped by a demon.

If we don't send someone to rescue her now, then the old woman's soul will lose its last chance.

Chapter 251 is about to erupt.

Upon seeing this information, Zuo Wen was immediately stunned, and then he realized what was happening.
