"What do you think? He's probably mopping up the lobby right about now, don't you think?"

"What a boring thing to say."

"Haha, what would be more interesting to brother Thalyn?"

"A bet, of course."

"What sort?"

"How many days will it take him to make the lobby spotless?"

A burst of laughter came in an endless rain. They seemed to find their own jokes to be the most hilarious in the world, with a disgusting sort of vulgarity and self-complacency.

These sorts of rich young masters were considered to be among the most worthless of the world.

Many of them were only Fragmented Sky Gods, with a slight plurality of False Sky Gods. They would never go to the most important battlefields of the world, and honestly speaking, despite all the importance of these Holy Worlds, most of them had situations that had long since stabilized into a stalemate and could actually just be considered protected regions.

In reality, these youths came here for no other reason than to protect their lives. They spent days on end lazing around while those less talented than them fought tooth and nail on the front lines.

Of course, there were some exceptions. No matter how willful these powerful Clans were, they wouldn't dare to be too casual with a Holy World.

There were definitely true geniuses here.

It was just that they weren't in this room, and quite frankly, that was by design.

To those existences, even if they were dissatisfied with Ryu's appearance as well, they would only pass the buck to these useless few. After all, what was more humiliating than being suppressed by the useless?

Anyone who could form a Peak Founding Dao was undoubtedly prideful.

But they would make Ryu bow his head before them.

Who cared what his Dao was at now? Until he became at least a Lord, it was all fleeting clouds.

And even then, there was no guarantee he'd be able to carry it forward to Sovereignty and then Godhood.

As for the news about the death of the Sovereign, they hadn't seen it themselves and even if Ryu had played a part, in their opinion, it could only be an infinitely small part.

In fact, what the Fey Sovereign hadn't told Ryu was that he had faced suppression because of his report.

The Fey Sovereign's situation was… peculiar. He was a Fey, but not among the most powerful 22 Clans. Then, he suddenly decided to support a Human.

It looked as though he was trying to elevate Ryu to give him a chance at becoming a God.

It had to be remembered that the Fey Sovereign was already at the Peak of Sovereignty. He had thought that he would be frozen there for the rest of his life, but then Ryu's bow had given him a small sliver of a chance forward.

There was no one that could sense this chance more clearly than a true Dao God. So when the Fey Sovereign went to report, it obviously caused some discomfort.

It could be said, then, that there were multiple things working against Ryu. Not just his own Race, but that of his backers as well.

Due to these factors, very few took these rumors seriously, and many more thought that the Fey was just trying to gather enough merits to exchange for resources to become a Dao God.

But if another Dao God appeared, then the balance of power might shift again. And with the Fey Sovereign supporting Ryu, a human, who was to say that he might not side with the Humans in the future as well?

The complicated politics had all led to this. In fact, just in exchange for entering this low-class Holy World, the Dao God behind the scenes had taken all of Ryu's military merits, an absolutely outrageous price.

No matter how valuable a Holy World, how could one with a cap of True Sky God possibly be worth the death of a Sovereign? It was a clearly shameless move, and yet no one had said a single thing about it.

However, it was under these jeers and laughs that a servant suddenly walked in, moving forward swiftly toward Thalyn, who sat at the head of the table.

He leaned over and whispered into Thalyn's ear.

Thalyn frowned and his brows became gloomy. He was already feeling dissatisfied with the appearance of the servant, but he couldn't do anything. He was a Lower True Sky God, but this servant was already a Peak True Sky God.

Even the servants in this place had to be powerful, or else what was the point?

However, the information he received made him even more gloomy.

"He's not mopping like he was told?" Thalyn slowly stood, a murderous glint flickering in his eyes. "Does he not know that these orders came down from Sister Vespera and Brother Vespa? He's quite bold."

These two could be considered the real backbone of the Holy World, a pair of twins with exceptional power. It was said they shared a special Bone Structure that likewise allowed them to exude a unique and magnificent aura.

Before stepping into this Holy World, they already had battle records that shocked the world. Together, they had managed to kill several Perfect Sky Gods, and it was said that they had even once injured a Transcended into fleeing by working together.

Of course, the Transcended was only on the same level as the useless trash that Ryu had killed on the front lines. But it was a feat that had shocked the world, nonetheless.

Because this world only had a single plane, the varying levels of talent could have drastic gaps between them. This was why crossing levels to do battle was far more common in this world.

And yet… wasn't that the difference?

Working together, they had made a Transcended flee.

But on his own, how many had Ryu slaughtered?

He had long since lost count.

It seemed that the news of him helping to kill a Sovereign had shrouded the news of his other feats.

"Where is he now?" Thalyn growled. "I want to see how bold this man really is."
