The underground of District S12 was the main base of the "Neutralizers."

But in reality, under the twenty-plus years of effort from Zhuang Suqi, and others, the "Neutralizers" had expanded their influence to the entire island.

In recent years, the development of the "Neutralizers" had been incredibly cautious.

This island was already scarred and rusted, and the Storm Church's legacy of "tyranny" would be remembered...

The "hope" sown by the Neutralizers would also be remembered.

Therefore, the Neutralizers did not need to appear or proselytize.

They only needed to let people know... that they existed.

Then they would be everywhere.

...

...

Gu Shen returned to the surface with the "iron box," feeling a little empty as he watched the figures of Qi Mo and Zhuang Suqi disappear into the dark slums behind him.

Leverage, leverage.

He had done it.

Next, the public opinion of the entire South Grotto would "coagulate" in a short time... This was certainly a good thing for him, but if the flames of the "Neutralizers" continued to burn, "stirring up" the entire Sangzhou Grotto, would that really be a good thing?

He had to fight the Four Divine Envoys and Su Ye.

Regardless of who ultimately won or lost, the ordinary people here would be the ones to suffer.

Zhu Que (Vermillion Bird) would kill extremists without batting an eye... As for these miserable civilians, she wouldn't care about their life or death even more.

"...New life often comes after death."

Seeing him lost in thought, Chu Ling softly reminded, "Don't you think the Four Divine Envoys' behavior of constructing the [Empty Domain] is very unusual?"

Gu Shen's thoughts returned.

After the diversion of the beast tide, the four Divine Envoys of the East Grotto had quickly gathered and set up the S-class barrier [Empty Domain].

They shouldn't be so united.

"If the Four Divine Envoys don't care about the deaths of these people, why would they set up a 'barrier'?"

Chu Ling said, "Combining it with their previous actions, they want to divide up a larger territory, they want to gain greater 'operational rights' in the Sangzhou Grotto... I suspect they may be looking for a suitable candidate for the 'Fire Seed of Wine'."

This wasn't actually hard to guess.

The Tower of Origin's "Fire Seed" was vacant, and the whole world knew it!

In the past two years, the Primal Apostles under the Wine God Seat had all been tested, but none of them had even passed the "Dream of the Fire Seed"...

"Shouldn't the new master of the Fire Seed of Wine be born from among the Divine Envoys?"

Gu Shen frowned.

As far as he knew, the Four Divine Envoys had all passed the "Dream of the Fire Seed"!

This was a major piece of news. The fact that the "Dream of the Fire Seed" was bestowed upon the Four Divine Envoys indicated the Tower of Origin's intention to choose a master... This mission to the south seemed like a "trial."

Mr. Tianshui (Skywater), wanted to see who was the most outstanding among the Four Divine Envoys, the most qualified to become the next Divine Seat.

"You're right, but I only look at 'probability'."

Chu Ling said calmly, "The authority of the Sky God Seat is called 'Cloud Mirror.' He can see any corner of the world... Everything under the clouds is within his sight. The Tower of Origin has always been known for its 'long-term planning.' Perhaps what he sees as the 'Fire Seed of Wine' belonging is not these four Divine Envoys."

Gu Shen looked at the "iron box" in his palm.

He suddenly understood what Chu Ling meant at this moment.

"Are you saying... the Tower of Origin is looking for a 'Child of Divine Grace'..."

"Again, I only look at probability."

Chu Ling said rigorously, "I think this is something that has a probability of happening. What the Four Divine Envoys are doing now... is looking for 'geniuses'."

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes.

Although he had unlocked the "password," he still didn't have much information about the "Child of Divine Grace." This box didn't contain a specific location. Opening it didn't provide a "specific location" reminder. Most importantly... the Child of Divine Grace should be a living person, who can move, and whose location is constantly changing.

How was he supposed to find that?

Should he let Adam see it again?

It wasn't impossible, but he was worried that this guy would go blind at such a young age.

...

...

"I say... why are you back again?"

Abandoned shack in District S3.

Adam, wearing mechanical prosthetic eyes, looked haggard.

He looked at Gu Shen, his head swimming.

He thought that following Gu Shen to the Sangzhou Grotto, being able to escape Zhu Que's control, should be considered a "blessing."

He didn't expect that just after settling down, he would repeatedly use the "Eye of Destiny" to overdraw his energy several times, and the things here were all more and more evil, bleeding every time he looked.

If he kept looking, he was afraid he would go blind.

"..."

Gu Shen looked slightly embarrassed, put the iron box on the table, and enticingly said, "Finding this clue was too difficult. Aren't you curious about the whereabouts of that 'Child of Divine Grace'?"

Adam shook his head frantically, saying, "I'm curious, but I'd rather live."

"Oh, really?"

Gu Shen smiled. He knew very well... Adam had used the "Eye of Destiny" several times before purely because this guy also wanted to know about Tan Yao's secrets.

Now Tan Yao was tied to the Child of Divine Grace.

The only clue was right in front of him.

He was anxious, and so was Adam.

As soon as he said this, Adam's expression changed obviously.

In the end, he still held back, gritted his teeth, and pretended not to have heard it.

Gu Shen continued to fan the flames, saying, "The Child of Divine Grace should be nearby. As long as you see the 'approximate location,' I'll immediately set off to find them."

Adam took a deep breath.

He looked at Gu Shen and asked seriously, "The last time?"

Gu Shen nodded seriously and said sincerely, "The last time... if nothing unexpected happens."

"..."

Adam could only choose to pretend not to hear the addendum behind this sentence. He took off his mechanical prosthetic eye, then put on the Eye of Destiny... Scarlet bloodshot had filled the entire pupil.

This eye was usually used normally and was nothing to be afraid of.

But if you looked directly at the "Fire Seed"...

It would be different!

After Adam put on the Eye of Destiny, he suddenly clenched his teeth, and the veins on his forehead bulged. He covered his eyes with one hand, trying not to let it see things in advance, and then said in a hoarse voice, "The thing."

Gu Shen held the iron box in front of Adam.

At the moment of letting go, the Eye of Destiny turned "drippingly," and its gaze, which had been randomly glancing around, instantly stuck to the iron box!

It locked onto the iron box.

"I see..."

"Rolling sea tides, stirring the undercurrent of 'extraordinary genes'... Someone wants to peek at the essence of extraordinary life..."

Adam's voice carried great pressure.

Gu Shen said, "Skip this and continue to look at the deepest part. There's a figure in the deepest part."

"..."

After a short silence, the pupil of the Eye of Destiny shrank to the extreme. Adam's originally gentle and refined face now looked extremely ferocious. His one eye was almost bursting open. He crossed countless data torrents and mental locks, and he saw the "deepest part" that Gu Shen was talking about.

In the center of the sea tide, there was a small figure.

The moment he saw that figure, Adam's mind exploded with a buzzing sound.

Perfect overlap!

This was the "figure" on Tan Yao's volcano!

"I saw it..."

Adam suddenly stood up, then leaned forward sharply. His entire face was eager to get into the iron box, especially that scarlet eye, with countless bloodshot gathered.

"District E0..."

"The Child of Divine Grace is in District E0!"

The moment the voice fell, Gu Shen directly attacked. He wrapped his fingertips in blazing fire and easily pulled out Adam's eyeball. This time, there were also faint blood streaks floating in the air... The fire of life swarmed out, and Gu Shen sent out a large amount of his own blazing fire, surrounding the exhausted and slumped Adam.

"How is it? Can you still hold on?" Gu Shen looked at the man in front of him and asked with concern.

He extended a hand, hovering in front of Adam.

Black blood flowed from the empty eye socket and was burned by the fire of life...

Although his own ability was currently only a Domain Embryo, its healing ability was extremely strong!

"Not dead... Still holding on..."

Adam said unhappily. His voice was weak, and his face was very pale. The impact of the Eye of Destiny was not only on the body, but also on the soul: "But at least for half a month, I can't use this thing... Next time you need it, just take it directly and find someone else more capable."

Was he that kind of person?

Gu Shen was a little helpless.

He softly comforted, "Rest well. Thanks for these few times. After the 'Tan Yao' mission is over, I won't take this eye. It still belongs to you."

Adam rolled his eyes.

"You should just take it away. If it really doesn't work, just 'release' it..."

Adam's voice was painful and sincere: "I can't control this thing. I still want to live a few more years..."

...

...

Adam's overdraft peep this time was very important, directly locking onto "District E0."

If it weren't for Adam, without the "Eye of Destiny," then he would have to consider the stupidest method... searching around the island with the iron box.

This method was inefficient and attracted attention.

"But I didn't expect that the 'Child of Divine Grace' wouldn't be in the South Grotto..."

Because of Mr. Zhuang, Gu Shen had designated the East Continent base in the South Grotto.

District E0 belonged to the Central Continent base, and... it was also the territory of the Zhu Que (Vermillion Bird) Divine Envoy!

"District E0 is near District S12."

Chu Ling said, "Not far from you."

"Yes..."

Gu Shen murmured, "This can be considered a blessing in disguise. Only one district away. It shouldn't be too difficult to go in and find someone... But why do I feel like things aren't that simple?"

...

...

"Divine Envoy, these are the talented transcendent beings found in 'District E2'."

District E1.

After annihilating the local extremists, a small church under the name of Storm that he couldn't even remember, Zhu Que (Vermillion Bird) set this place as her "main base." Since the Tower of Origin only brought two hundred transcendent beings this time, after dividing them equally, she could only use fifty people... She didn't continue to divide them equally, but left thirty people in District E1.

The remaining four districts each had only five people.

District E1 was relatively large and required more patrols.

For completely annihilating the "extremists" in the medium and small-sized urban areas, five Tower of Origin transcendent beings were actually enough.

Of course, the most important thing was that among these five people, there was a capable leader who was willing to follow her, Zhu Que, from Central Continent to this barbaric land, a "high-level transcendent being."

If she successfully reached the top in the future, these people would naturally "ascend" with her.

At this moment, Zhu Que was sitting in the mansion built by the local church.

The courtyard had flowing water and a gentle breeze.

She looked at the ten weak children sent by the leader of District E2, and her expression didn't change much.

Above Zhu Que's head, a small mirror surface, surrounded by clouds, floated under the support of mental power. As Zhu Que slowly raised her finger, the small mirror swept past one by one...

The ten weak children were all sallow and emaciated, with fearful expressions.

They watched the small mirror slowly float in front of them. Although their eyes were curious, they didn't even dare to breathe loudly... The red-robed man sitting upright was really intimidating.

The original church leader couldn't compare with "him" at all.

The Cloud Mirror floated around like this and finally returned to Zhu Que's hand...

"'Cloud Mirror' has no reaction."

Zhu Que frowned and said, "Du Hu, the last time you sent a teenager, there were even two 'Grade B' who could trigger the Cloud Mirror. This time... there isn't even a Grade B."

Du Hu stood respectfully, with a bitter look on his face, but he didn't dare to say more.

The residential area he was stationed in was so big. The Divine Envoy specifically asked for underage teenage transcendent beings, but where were there so many qualified geniuses?

"Forget it."

Zhu Que also understood this principle. These things couldn't be rushed.

Mr. Tianshui wanted to recruit geniuses, and the twenty urban areas had already been divided equally. Even if she had fewer on her side, the other three wouldn't have many more... This ring should not be too important in the trial of the Fire Seed of Wine. She didn't need to pay too much attention to it.

The real "focus" should still be on hunting beast tides and collecting intelligence.

"You should look more carefully, better to have nothing than something bad..."

Zhu Que slowly and gently instructed, while saying, "Don't bring any more with Grade B qualifications or lower in the future."

"Yes..."

Du Hu nodded and asked, "Then these?"

Zhu Que silently looked at the children in front of her and said faintly, "You take them out and take care of them yourself. If you want to enter the 'Tower of Origin,' you can't be these lowly bones that are destined to wallow in the mud for the rest of their lives."

Du Hu led the children out.

At first, the courtyard was a little noisy, but it quickly returned to calm.

Du Hu returned.

Zhu Que sniffed lightly, smelled some unpleasant smells, and caught a glimpse of a smear of blood on Du Hu's cuff. She frowned and said, "Why is your murderous intent so heavy? You even kill children?"

Du Hu looked a little surprised, but still lowered his head.

Last time, he dismissed the unselected teenagers.

Zhu Que coldly laughed and scolded him for not having brains, saying that it was necessary to cut the grass and eliminate the roots. These young local lowly people were the most vengeful. If they were released today, they might be a disaster in ten years.

This time he killed them, and he was still being scolded.

Du Hu was clever. He hid his sleeve behind him and then wiped it hard.

Was Zhu Que scolding him for not doing it herself? No, she was scolding him for not doing it neatly and cleanly enough. The blood stained his sleeves and dirtied her eyes.

"You have to correct these small problems in the future."

Zhu Que said softly, "Remembered?"

"...Remembered."

Du Hu replied with his head lowered.

"By the way... Where's He Chan?"

Zhu Que raised her eyebrows and said, "Hasn't the transcendent being from District E0 been sent over yet?"
