He didn't know why, but from the moment Sia revealed she was a level 7, he had that urge to do whatever he could and grow stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, when the golden lion dashed into the Thunder Shrine and attacked the messengers, he watched it calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Am I so cold-blooded?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The peak level 5 messengers tried to fight back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the lightning spears of the golden lion all possessed the power of level 6.

They didn't neglect us, did they?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, there were no level 6 beasts nearby. Varian had to lure this one from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were around twenty messengers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But under a minute, half of them were hit with lightning spears and disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the silver light teleporting them away, Varian clicked his tongue. 'So that's why. These people don't have any danger of life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though not getting this treasure might harm them in the future, it might also do them good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since I'm not harming their lives, I don't feel any guilt.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a weird justification, but Varian found it fit him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"S-Senior Tiama! There's a l-level 6 beast! I know you cleared but…! Yes! It's attacking us! W-What?\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, one of the leading messengers contacted Tiama and informed the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her intention was obvious. Ask for help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Tiama did return, then Varian's plans would be spoiled. But he wasn't nervous at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened?\" The other messengers asked eagerly as they desperately dodged the lightning spears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Lion was enjoying itself as it slowly hunted down the preys. To it, this place was something akin to a dream house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With rich lightning mana, countless natural treasures and a mysterious shrine, this place was a perfect residence for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since these bugs dared to desecrate its residence, then it'll torture them to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Argh!\" One more messenger was impaled by the lightning spear and flew into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the lightning mana threatened to break his heart, a silver light flashed and dispelled the lightning mana, and teleported him away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened? What did Senior Tiama say?\" A messenger asked with a pale face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He kept glancing at the golden lion and thought back to the genius that was eliminated just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was only one hope. The Teams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He can't come.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hope was crushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to the girl who contacted him and growled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A lightning bolt struck him and he couldn't dodge in that moment of heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The familiar silver light covered him and he heard her words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because they're already in Laden Burrows. They can't back off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those were the last words he heard before he disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An air of despair filled them and the messengers made the optimal choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They picked as many treasures as they could while dodging the lightning spears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden lion soon understood this and went all out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the remaining messengers were eliminated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clap! Clap!\" Varian applauded the golden lion as he stepped out of the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar!\" 'This is my territory.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian 'felt' the meaning conveyed by its roar and was taken aback. 'Is this the effect of Morpher Path? Interesting.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted top lay with the creature a bit but time was running out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he kicked the ground and appeared in front of the lion in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Lion was a level 6 beast after all. Its lightning sense followed his movements and right when he appeared in front of it, it prepared a lightning shield as well as a very concentrated lightning spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power emanated by the lightning spear alarmed Varian's senses. He could take it, but with heavy injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lightning spear shot at him with breakneck speed, heating up the air and cutting through the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian's body disappeared and he teleported behind the lion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the lion was very confident in its prowess, and looked down on him, its lightning defense wall behind was very thin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, Varian's fist broke it easily and connected with the lion's back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Graggh!\" With a tragic roar, the golden lion collapsed on the ground as its bones fell apart and flesh was torn into pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boo started to clean up the scene, removing traces of their battle while Varian reached the entrance of the shrine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The intricate carvings on the door captivated him as he saw the scenes of humanoid creatures fighting and breaking a planet into pieces, the largest of which became Earth's moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even Sovereigns can't do it. Is this the power of Celestial Ranks…is this the power of Abyss Emperor?\" He muttered and pushed the door which opened with a creaking sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The platform in the middle was empty. Presumably, it held flag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Varian didn't come for the flag. He scanned the floor and his eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sleek white floor had golden orbs placed all over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each orb had several line extending out of it and these lines intersected and entangled with the lines of other orbs, forming strange patterns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt a strong threat from these orbs. They were enough to even harm mid level 6s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning Fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the strongest explosives of Theodra secret realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a deep breath, Varian bent down and started channeling his lightning mana into an orb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a special method to retrieve them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it needed some time. Fortunately, Varian had the time for two or three orbs of lightning fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he must be careful. If he slipped up, then he'd be eliminated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He concentrated all his senses and started the retrieval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—A few minutes later\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Core Area, Aether Gardens, Psychedelic Region:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This finishes it.\" Varian looked at the countless strange patterns on the ground and sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Illusion Formatons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, there weren't many messengers here. Apparently, the destruction done by Xavier team destroyed a lot of treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So a significant part of messengers begrudgingly went to the Vine Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian was grateful as he was able to easily sneak in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, he also spied on a few messengers and knew the situation in Laden Burrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The teams all met up. He had to hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Three formations will be enough.\" He rubbed his forehead and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Retrieving them would take a toll on his mental power and mental sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was the last piece of puzzle.\u003C\u002Fp>",1218,"2026-06-06T07:58:11.288Z",1,"novelbin.me","186f691496ec4e0885a3fba2a6b3c3773c2403d7ff24747b31d5ba44c9bc91b0","divine-path-system-chapter-300","divine-path-system-chapter-298",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
