A Top Scholar in Everything

The forbidden area of Black Abyss City lies deep in the core of Black Abyss City.

It is a square room, surrounded by black marble.

The entire room is lit by torches burning in a circle, casting a crimson glow inside.

The environment is deep and solemn.

The water pond at the center is crystal clear, and the bottom can be seen, with nothing inside.

The water flows into the pond and then drains from the outlet at the bottom, forming a continuously rotating small whirlpool.

This is the forbidden area of Black Abyss City.

Even if outsiders intrude, they cannot discern anything from here.

Zi Luo approached the pond, pricked his finger, and dripped a crystalline blood droplet.

Drop.

The blood dripped into the pond, creating ripples.

Soon.

The entire pond suddenly began to boil, like a pot of boiling broth, bubbling fiercely.

Gurgle.

As the mist rose.

A colossal shadow appeared in the pond.

"Father!"

Zi Luo immediately knelt on one knee, not daring to lift his head: "The operation against Zenith City failed at the last step, even the offspring of the Evil God summoned were destroyed by Zenith City's hidden power, unable to conduct any rescue or support.

This battle.

We lost a total of sixty thousand elite Demon Race warriors.

Meanwhile.

Zi E has yet to return; I attempted to contact her through the secret technique, but no news.

I suspect she may have betrayed us..."

As soon as the words finished.

The face within the mist kept changing, exuding a thick black vapor.

A grand, majestic voice sounded.

"Zi E was killed, died at the hands of a human. She has returned to the Celestial Demon Pool; I spent some time resurrecting her…

There's no need to mention this anymore.

Your opponent was not of the same level as you."

The massive shadow said.

Zi Luo's face slightly shook: "You're saying, the one who eradicated the offspring of the Evil God was…"

"Indeed.

They have already entered the Dream Realm and can freely traverse it, a human expert. Perhaps I might have encountered him in the Dream Realm.

Moreover.

They who killed Zi E and eliminated the Sea Giant are the same person.

After this.

You need not concern yourself with these matters; regarding the failure of this war, I shall not hold you accountable.

However.

For any issues involving this human, you are to follow Zi E's arrangements."

The authoritative voice echoed within the room.

"Yes, Father!"

Zi Luo clenched his fist, bowed his head, and spoke.

Soon.

The mist dissipated.

But the boiling of the pond had not yet ended.

Within the boiling pond water, gradually a figure took form.

Not long after.

Zi E emerged from the pond, eyes icy cold, glaring at her brother.

"Unexpectedly, Father would spend such a cost to resurrect you, it seems you've convinced Father in some aspects.

But even so, now that you're back, you cannot escape the blame of defeat."

Zi Luo coldly stated.

Zi E swept her gaze at him, coldly said: "What do you understand? My revival this time, is with the mission from Father's retribution.

My discovery is far more important than merely a Black Abyss City."

Zi Luo's eyes narrowed.

It seems the judgment from Father's side suggests that the information Zi E accessed is even more significant than a Giant or even a city?

Exactly what.

Could make the Father regard it so substantially.

Even going to great lengths to resurrect Zi E from the Celestial Demon Pool.

This had never been done before by the Fourth Celestial Demon King.

It's worth noting.

The Fourth Celestial Demon King has numerous offspring, Zi Luo was able to attain his current status all through his own efforts.

Except for the few descendants the Fourth Celestial Demon King values.

Other offspring.

Exist in a survival of the fittest scenario.

If they die, they die; naturally, new individuals would take their place.

The Fourth Celestial Demon King's action is abnormal.

This only indicates that Zi E must possess information that intrigues the Celestial Demon King, thus are willing to pay the price to resurrect her.

Zi Luo felt deeply that his status was threatened.

Furthermore.

This time it was indeed his personally orchestrated mission that failed.

"Zi Luo, Father sees there were special circumstances this time, so He did not punish you. My return is not to compete with you for power."

"I will not handle affairs concerning Black Abyss City.

However.

All matters concerning the Giants, I will be fully responsible for.

You'd best cooperate; don't play petty tricks with me."

Zi E's eyes cold as ice.

This is her last chance of resurrection, also a grace from the Fourth Celestial Demon King.

But should she die again.

Even the Fourth Celestial Demon King could not revive her further.

And she.

The task burdened on her is to approach and eliminate the reincarnated human expert.

The one surely has intricate connections with the Giants.

Zi E's resurrection mission, is to devise methods to address, and resolve this issue.

For this.

The Fourth Celestial Demon King has even arranged her action plan; for mobility, she is prepared with a human identity.

...

Haiqing County, Wind Dove City.

As the most prosperous county in the south, Wind Dove City's economy is even more flourishing than many other counties' county cities.

However.

Wind Dove City is not the capital of Haiqing County.

The Qiong Family relocated here half a month ago; the family's initial reconstruction is complete, adapting to the local lifestyle.

Various shops have reopened too.

The development of the entire Qiong Family is finally back on track.

The only inconvenience is that the Qiong Family is essentially outsiders.

Wanting to integrate into the local elite social circle is a bit difficult.

This requires accumulation over time.

At the moment.

The Qiong Family is organizing a banquet.

Just last night, they received news of Zenith City's great victory and that Baiyu will return with the Third Prince.

In the grand hall of the Qiong Family.

Four clan elders along with the current head of the family, Qiong Jiu, are discussing matters.

"In the future, we must definitely align ourselves with the Third Prince."

"The royal power struggle, if not cautious, can result in total destruction; us meddling isn't necessarily fortunate or misfortunate."

"Discussing this is useless now; we must support Baiyu's judgment."

"That's right.

But his current position, identity is still somewhat low, coupled with only Tier Seven strength. We should focus on improving these aspects."

"Once he's back, it can open another dream realm, allowing him to enter. Qiong Meng can surely enhance his strength further."

"Let's do this, additionally get him to attend those noble gatherings in Wind Dove City. This also aids his future development."

Several clan elders discussed arrangements for Baiyu.

Qiong Jiu did not speak.

Only quietly listened to their discussion, frowning.

But.

His student may not like such arrangements.

Although Baiyu had only graduated from high school for a few months, the personality probably wouldn't change greatly.
