At the foot of Thousand Peaks.

A group of people quietly left.

There were nearly a hundred of them, the elite within the church.

Due to not understanding the outside situation, the Archbishop did not send out too many people at once.

Instead, he ordered a small group to leave to investigate matters related to Silvio Reed.

Father Zack, because of his long-term external dealings, was sent to the Long family and some big families to negotiate cooperation.

On top of Thousand Peaks, an unusual grand occasion appeared.

Hearing the news that the church was preparing to re-enter the world, everyone was very excited.

Sneaking around for thousands of years, they had enough.

Finally, they could stand tall and proud.

Meanwhile, inside the Tomb of Nine Provinces.

Silvio Reed sat cross-legged in the lavish tomb chamber, eyes closed resting.

"Lord Four, the current situation is very unfavorable to us."

Jin Chan stood by Silvio Reed’s side, worriedly saying, "The latest news, Trent Marsh disappeared on the Bloodsweat Ridge, life and death unknown. Our people can’t find him, nor any information."

"Also, recently there have been developments in Obsidian. Some people are under your banner, opposing the Western church. They say, publicly humiliating the church people, if there is a God, it can only be you, Silvio Reed."

Upon hearing this.

Silvio Reed opened his eyes, the corner of his mouth slightly upturned.

Jin Chan’s words did not affect him in the slightest.

It seemed like everything was already anticipated.

"My disciple, a fiery tyrant who kills without a blink, surprisingly likes these underhanded tactics."

He chuckled and said, "The major situation in the world is predestined. If relying on these low tricks could change destiny, could the world still be the world? Rest assured, these small maneuvers won’t affect the big picture."

"But Trent Marsh is a very important piece for you." Jin Chan frowned and said, "His disappearance is very unfavorable for us. Speed is of the essence, with the Commander’s Seal in his possession, if he betrays you or gets killed by Julius Reed, it will affect our plans."

The news that Silvio Reed isn’t dead will surely spread slowly.

For them, time is everything. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

They cannot delay any longer!

Yet, the crucial Trent Marsh has disappeared now.

There’s no sign at all.

"Don’t panic, wait."

Silvio Reed pointed to the Nine Provinces Universal Map before him, eyes glimmering, "Look, the Nine Provinces! Once, we had nothing, but still conquered the Nine Provinces. Now I have an elite army and this five-thousand-year-long grand scheme, I don’t believe there’s anyone in this world who can stop us from unifying the Nine Provinces!"

On the Nine Provinces Universal Map were painted mountains and rivers.

Vast and magnificent!

"To be enemies with all under heaven, it’s too difficult." Jin Chan couldn’t help but sigh and say, "Even Julius Reed is only maintaining the world, never truly ruling unilaterally."

"However, this pattern has remained for over five thousand years, never collapsing. Great Lord, why are you unwilling to be like this? Being revered as a king by the world, isn’t that great?"

Jin Chan was Silvio Reed’s protector, loyally following him for years.

Over the years, he’s witnessed many things.

He understood Silvio Reed’s thoughts clearly.

"Back then, the situation was clear. Great Lord, I advised you, the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance was already yours, the world was yours, why did you want to use the Imperial Heaven Official, to stir up conflict, kill so many experts, and then fake your death to hide inside the Tomb of Nine Provinces..."

"Jin Chan." Silvio Reed smiled and turned his head, placing his right hand on Jin Chan’s shoulder, "You’re getting old, becoming more nagging. Your courage seems to have diminished too."

"Great Lord, Jin Chan is not old, I’ve always been loyal to you."

Jin Chan shook his head, speaking very seriously: "Not just me, the other old brothers also have this confusion. Why are you doing this?"

Silvio Reed did not speak.

The atmosphere was somewhat heavy.

After a while, Silvio Reed walked to a coffin nearby and gently pushed open the lid.

Inside the coffin were a bunch of strange items and a few copper pieces.

"Do you know what this is?"

He pointed at the items inside, looking at Jin Chan.

"I know, these are remnants of the Divine Artifact, things left by ancient deities. These things are uncontrollable, so they were placed here to prevent abuse."

Jin Chan replied.

As a core member of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, naturally, he knew about these things.

"Right, you’re very correct."

Silvio Reed nodded, picking up a copper piece, pointing at the text on it: "Do you know what this is?"

"This is... I don’t know." Jin Chan shook his head.

"On here, it records events from the era of ancient sages. I painstakingly deciphered the content." Silvio Reed smiled, looking at the copper piece, and asked, "Do you know when my thoughts began to change?"

"Could it be... because you understood the text on it?" Jin Chan was a bit surprised.

The original Silvio Reed was indeed not like this.

Though Silvio Reed had ambition and desire, he was a king!

The king of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, the most powerful person in the world!

He was already at the top, couldn’t go further up.

But as time went by, they found Silvio Reed changed.

He became a bit crazy.

"Yes, when the text on this copper piece was decoded, my mindset changed."

Silvio Reed threw the copper piece back into the coffin, walking slowly on the ground of the Tomb of Nine Provinces, saying leisurely: "The world of ancient sages was straightforward, their hierarchy clear, some were born into nobility, some could never touch martial arts in their lifetime. Their world lasted countless millennia!"

"I, Silvio Reed, do not only wish to be a human king, I want to be a Divine King! A god! I want to create a world like the ancient sages, but even better! In this world, only my Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance can practice martial arts, others cannot!"

"Only this way, I will eternally be king, becoming the supreme god! Instead of being a titular Hierarch, dealing with those disgusting faces every day!"

"Jin Chan, this is my choice. This, is why I want to do it. I want to redefine the rules, transform this martial arts world!"

After Silvio Reed finished speaking, he patted Jin Chan’s shoulder: "Go, go out and see if there’s any new news."

"I understand now."

Jin Chan nodded, the shock in his eyes not yet fully dissipated.

As expected, Silvio Reed’s ambition had already inflated to the extreme.

He stood at the top of the mountain, yet still couldn’t touch the sky.

So, the height of this mountain must keep increasing.

But there is only one such mountain, so make it thinner and higher!

"My ideal is about to be realized." Silvio Reed looked at the things in the coffin, smiled and bowed deeply, "Sages, I will surpass you, create a new era!"

"I, Silvio Reed, am destined to be remembered by this world, to be remembered by humanity, to be immortalized for millions of years!"
