Philip deliberately made things difficult for Carol, but she simply nodded gently without getting angry. She wanted to deal with Philip thoroughly. To her, this was just suffering in silence. After settling things with Carol, Philip felt relaxed and comfortable. It felt pretty good to have a maid at his beck and call. He sat down to watch the competition. His guild was sure to win without any doubts. More than halfway through the competition, Philip knew victory was theirs. Meanwhile, Carol sneaked back to Donald and gave him an update. “I've gained Philip’s trust, and I can stay by his side from now on. You have nothing to worry about.” In Carol’s opinion, they were on the same team and should work together to deal with Philip. Donald did not expect that Carol could infiltrate Philip’s inner circle so successfully. “So, Philip isn’t as good as he seems. As the saying goes, even heroes can't resist a woman’s charms. This guy can't handle a beautiful woman at all.” Donald wa
Sensing these people’s dissatisfaction, Philip simply laughed it off. Their verbal attacks did not affect him at all. He simply thought they were too noisy. The mysterious man who planned to target Philip hid in the corner, observing Philip’s reaction. His eyes were full of murderous intent as if he had a big grudge against Philip. “If not for this powerful robe, I guess Philip would've discovered my presence by now. He’s a force to be reckoned with.” The mysterious man grabbed the hem of his robe, which he found by chance. The robe could block the detection of most people. He planned to test the robe in front of Philip, and he found that Philip had not reacted to his presence even after such a long time, which proved that Philip had not noticed him at all. This robe was definitely a prized item. “Do you think it'll make a difference to come to this continent? Do you think the Guzo Continent isn’t enough for you?” Philip would definitely recognize this man if he saw his ugl
Rick put on an air of mystery to attract other people’s attention, and many guilds were interested in Rick. Since Rick could conceal his presence so perfectly, it proved that he was not that weak. He should be quite strong. Although not everyone was hostile to Philip, they were apprehensive of him. “This person is much stronger than you think. If you don't deal with him now, you’ll probably encounter a lot of trouble in the future. Just look at his Razer Guild. It’s a big threat to you now. If his people continue to develop, they’ll replace us sooner or later.” Rick spoke earnestly, fooling everyone with his eloquence. Philip had no idea that this was happening around him. He simply knew that his people had won first place. The reward for this competition was nothing more than Warble Mountain. Even the organizers did not expect that this guild which appeared out of nowhere would win. “That Razer Guild is a tough one. Since you guys are so strong, Warble Mountain is now your
Donald thought his plan was going very well, but Philip and the others thought he was more amusing than a jester. After the competition ended, the old man from the organizing team smiled brightly. “Dear guild leaders, maybe you haven’t heard of this important news yet. Glaze Tower is about to open, and anyone who can pass the test will gain endless rewards.” Upon hearing that, everyone was in an uproar. After a thousand years, Glaze Tower was about to open again. “That’s great. Glaze Tower will open again. I wonder if anyone can pass it this time?” “After a thousand years of preparation, I believe someone will successfully reach the top this time!” “It's hard to say. Many young talents only made it to the fifth floor the last time.” Everyone discussed Glaze Tower cautiously. Philip and the others did not know anything about Glaze Tower, so they listened to the conversations around them curiously. “With this opening of Glaze Tower, many young talents will emerge again.
The guild leaders made small talk, hoping that their guild members would perform well. Glaze Tower had always existed in legends. As it only opened every thousand years, it was one of the most valuable and powerful training grounds on this continent. Glaze Tower contained many ferocious beasts with both powerful strength and ability. Among them was a Dream Eater Beast that was best at creating illusions. This beast would be asleep most of the time during the thousand years. It was not difficult to kill this beast, but the problem lay with the illusions it created. Even though the beast was immersed in its dreams, it could trap someone in its illusion and kill them. It was rumored that only five such beasts existed on this continent. Various mighty beings joined forces and finally captured one beast after sacrificing countless people. This ferocious beast was imprisoned in Glaze Tower. Therefore, although Glaze Tower was a place full of opportunities, it was full of various da
The challenge in Glaze Tower was unlike any other secret realm. One might die if they forced their way inside and challenged their limits. However, that risk was worth taking considering the rewards they might get after successfully passing the attempt. They might suffer some injuries at the beginning of the challenge, but the higher they went, the more likely they might find restrictions on their souls. If the challengers did not withdraw from the battle in time, they might suffer unprecedented damage to their souls to the point of no recovery. By then, not even the most powerful alchemist in the whole continent could help. Making choices was the biggest test of all. Most of the participants were young and promising elite guild members, prized assets of the guilds. It would be a huge blow to the guilds if anything happened to them. For example, the Pill Guild was on the brink of collapse. Most of their members were either killed or injured, so the guild was in bad shape. C
At this time, many people were rushing to Imperial City for this so-called opportunity too. The leaders of the major guilds did not attend in person but sent their powerful members instead. “You have to seize this opportunity and challenge your limits at all costs!” “You’ll make a name for yourself if you can reach the fifth floor or above, and the guild will become very powerful too!” “You have to display all your talents and don’t let us down!” The same conversation happened in different guilds. After a thousand years had passed, the previous outstanding members had long been replaced by a new batch. This was the best time for the major guilds to show their muscles. Meanwhile, Rick took this opportunity to reap many resources from the Pill Guild. Although the guild had suffered some losses, the guild leader had many treasures on hand. Rick felt very triumphant after getting these treasures. “That guy is such a fool for believing me so easily, but in that case, I can
Seeing this, Rick had a sudden flash of inspiration. “I’m a member of the guild. Do you know the Pill Guild?” Rick began to brag about his identity. The guards were less hostile after hearing that. They frowned at Rick and said, “You have to leave anyway. Your guild should provide you with a place to live. Don’t stay here.” Rick smiled at their amicable reaction. He knew what he should do to solve this problem. “I have my reasons for staying here, and I don’t take up much space. I hope you can take it easy on me.” At this point, Rick took out a pill and an energy stone, handing them to the captain of the imperial guards. “As a token of my appreciation, these are for you.” The imperial guards smiled at Rick’s gesture. This amount of money was enough to last them for a while. “In that case, you may stay. Don’t cause any trouble or we’ll take you away.” After saying this, they smiled and left. However, Rick stopped them. “I need your help with something else!” Rick h
Seeing the other party’s appearance, Philip asked in mock surprise, “Why does this person look like a human? I thought there were no humans now. Why is he here?” Before Philip finished speaking, the man smothered his mouth as if Philip just mentioned some taboo. “Watch your words. That guy isn’t someone to be trifled with. “Back then, the humans left many descendants in the world of the gods, and this man is just one of them. Maybe you have heard of those ugly merfolk, but some lucky ones inherited the good genes between races. “Only those who have inherited good genes can wander around so openly. Ugly things like the merfolk have no right to appear in our world.” After chatting with the other party, Philip finally understood the situation. The people in this world were obsessed with appearance! No wonder he did not see any traces of the merfolk along the way. They had been exiled because they were too ugly. The genes that failed to produce a good match had no right to en
“This auction seems quite upscale to have the local authorities maintain order.” Philip marveled as he led everyone into the city, which was very crowded with people moving in one direction. Everyone was clearly here to attend the auction so Philip followed the crowd into a huge palace. “Wow, this place is so extravagant. I feel like a villager who has never seen the world,” Aslan marveled at this luxurious place. Since they did not have an invitation letter or proof of assets, they were assigned the lowest tier. There was nothing but some stools at the lowest venue, which looked empty and frigid. “This is too much. People who have no right to enter the venue are not even worthy of a cup of tea,” Philip sighed with emotion. Philip smiled brightly as he observed the surroundings. Sure enough, they saw no humans. The other guests looked weird but not ugly, definitely not as disgusting as the merfolk. “I can tell at a glance that you come from a remote village. You don't
“Let’s put that aside for now and talk about it after our situation recovers. The world of the gods is not big. I believe Philip can understand the situation soon. He may be disappointed by then,” Marina said seriously after sorting out her emotions. Now that her family was not around, Marina had to take charge. The others nodded without a word. They knew that they had to avenge this. Maybe everyone would have been killed or injured if Philip had not been there. Philip was hurrying along the way with his people and could not care less about the mermaids’ thoughts. With Marina's reminder, they knew that they had to abandon their human identity for now. In that case, they could pretend to be monster beasts because they already had some in the team. “Okay, you can show off your ears or tails from now on, the weirder the better. The world of the gods isn’t short of monsters anyway,” Philip said. Everyone sprang into action with great relish. It was quite fun. As they hurrie
“I think we should go out and find out more about this world. I can’t avenge my family at my current level. It's better to improve myself and make preparations for it.” Philip almost applauded Katie’s suggestion. He did not expect that she was a girl with such substance. Katie knew that she was very weak so she decided to prepare for it instead of looking for trouble now. “In that case, let's take a look around. It’s not too late to go after them once we find out more. We’ll definitely take care of them. You don't have to worry about this. We have a common enemy. I’m just afraid you couldn’t wait,” Philip said with a smile. Philip exchanged contact information with Marina and agreed they would not take revenge for the time being. Marina had things to deal with, so they went their separate ways. “You’ll find a large city if you head in this direction. The city is quite prosperous and filled with different races. By the way, it's best to disguise your appearance.” Marina poin
“Can you tell me what’s going on now? The merfolk isn’t your enemy only. My little apprentice has a grudge against them too.” Philip patted Katie’s head expectantly. There must be a cause for this. Philip could not wait to find out more. Hearing that, Marina finally let down her guard and stopped behaving like a pampered princess. “To tell you the truth, the merfolk is an extension of the mermaid clan. Back then, our people gave birth to offspring with other races, but the offspring was ugly because they combined the shortcomings of the two families.” Hearing that, Philip finally knew what was going on and felt sorry for the merfolk. The fusion of two races would usually produce powerful offspring that could overturn the world at any minute. However, this union produced the opposite effect instead, resulting in ugly offspring. “Who did you hook up with to produce those weird things? I'm quite curious. After all, I fought those merfolk before, and that ugly appearance re
“Uncle, have you gone bonkers from the fight with the merfolk? I’ve taken such pills in their world before. It doesn’t affect us. I know you want to make me happy, but you don’t have to do this!” Seeing Marina’s disbelief, the old man jumped out and displayed his strength. Due to their past acquaintance, they knew each other’s strengths quite well. After feeling the old man's increasing strength, Marina looked in amazement at Philip who gave him the pill. “Your pill is different from the ones I’ve seen before. What's going on? Do you have a miracle pill that can turn the tables around?” Marina had no intention of doubting Philip, but the effect of Philip's pill was so good that she could not believe it. Aslan smiled calmly at Marina’s ignorance. “What do you know? Don’t compare the pills made by ordinary people to Philip’s pills. You’re simply ridiculous. Do you know how many people would kill for Philip’s pills? You really don’t know how to appreciate a good thing when i
Katie stood aside in disbelief, appalled by the disgusting merfolk. “Tom, don’t be sad. We’ll take revenge someday. The merfolk killed my family too. I won’t let them off either!” Katie clenched her fists angrily. Under normal circumstances, Marina would retort at this point. After all, Katie was just a normal human with an ordinary status. There was no way she could go against the ferocious merfolk. Even their noble and powerful bloodline might be no match for the disgusting merfolk, not to mention Katie. However, she was not in the mood to say anything now. It was useless to scorn Katie. It would not bring her family back. “As expected, every creature in this world is as insignificant as ants. Only strength is everlasting.” Philip shook his head helplessly, not expecting to see this scene as soon as he arrived. Marina was puzzled by Philip’s enigmatic words, but she simply buried her dead comrades without a word. Many of them had been seriously injured and could n
“I finally realized why we couldn’t breathe normally in that strange sea area. It’s because our strength isn’t there yet, not because there’s a problem with it!” Lyle shared with everyone his discovery via voice transmission. Everyone ignored his jokes. They looked around curiously, trying to see what was going on. They stopped when they came across some mermaids in a miserable state. The mermaids were seriously injured with their scales ripped off. Tom rushed over in a panic, wondering what was going on. “Lady Marina is back. She escaped the merfolk's pursuit and came back!” someone shouted excitedly after seeing Marina. An elderly man rushed out from a corner. “Tom, take Lady Marina and leave. This place isn’t safe anymore. Many of our people have left. The merfolk will come back again if we don’t leave now. We can't fight them!” The old man was obviously seriously injured. After speaking so anxiously, he coughed blood and looked very miserable. Marina shed tears
“Are you planning to bring her along?” Marina pointed at Katie standing behind Philip in surprise. In Marina's opinion, a powerful practitioner like Philip should not have any dealings with these ordinary women. “Yes, I’ll bring Katie with me and practice with her. Do you have any objections?” Marina shook her head. She did not have any objection but felt pity for Philip. “Forget it, you’ll regret your decision to bring such a burden with you when you reach the world of the gods.” After saying this, Marina fell silent as if she was unhappy with Philip’s stupid decision. Philip simply took out the stone from his pocket and poured some energy into it. “Get ready to leave.” As more energy was infused, a portal soon appeared, and everyone was excited to see the door. Marina dashed inside without hesitation and disappeared behind the door. Philip and the others walked in one after another. After a short wave of dizziness, Philip and others saw the world in front of the
