However, as a subordinate of the current Abyss Lord, he won’t tell you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And as for Timothy’s relic, we’re actually not very interested.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing Lis’s suspicion, Vivian smiled and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After all, the most precious artifact that may exist in that relic is the Abyssal Authority of the 106th layer that Timothy once controlled.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Timothy didn’t perish in battle with other Abyss Lords; there’s a high chance he left behind the Abyssal Authority.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, since Lord Dominic has become the Abyss Lord of the 106th layer, it means the relic doesn’t contain the Abyssal Authority.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, even if Timothy left other treasures there, they’re not of much significance to us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After all, most of the things Timothy could have left are likely related to vampire artifacts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that’s the case, then why disclose this information to me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening quietly, Lis then asked Vivian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It may not mean much to us, but... it’s of great significance to Lord Edward, you see~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivian chuckled softly and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I merely relayed the information to you without much cost.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you could gain any benefits from it, that would be something we hope to see too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I trust that through this incident, Lord Edward, you should be able to trust in our sincerity, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, why are you doing this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",819,"2026-06-03T10:59:04.413Z","2026-06-03T10:59:12.558Z",1,"novelbin.me","0b1d0c6af2fc278b1816ac166fa0b91b2a0b583fb1abe67f34b1dfa83e54dd7c","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1650","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1648",1658,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-cover.jpg"]
