"Well then, I will leave this mission to you."
"Then please, Dragon King, tell us the details of this mission."
"This mission is similar to the last one; it is also a retrieval task. The item I need you to find is called Hellfire Heartstone. It is a type of stone that contains very pure fire energy. This stone is extremely rare, and I have heard that it can only be found in the depths of the earth where sunlight never reaches. Our Dragon King on Fire Dragon Island encountered some issues during his cultivation, so we need this Hellfire Heartstone to rectify the situation. I wonder if you can find it?"
"Dragon King, how much time can you give us?"
"Normally, I would give you six months, but since you received the mission two months early, I will extend it to eight months. So, can you take on this mission?"
"Dragon King, could you clarify exactly where we might find such an item?"
"You will need to search for it yourself; I have already told you everything I know. So, will you accept the mission or not?"
"I can take on the mission, but Dragon King, I would like to know what kind of reward you can offer me once the task is completed."
"Young man, are you already thinking about rewards before finishing the task?"
"That's not what I mean; I just want to see if the reward you offer will satisfy me before deciding whether to accept your mission."
"For every task assigned by Dragon Island, upon completion, you can bring specific items here to exchange for your preferred rewards. We will do our best to help you achieve whatever reward you desire. Now, why don't you tell me what kind of reward you are looking for? Money, status, or something else?"
"Dragon King, I believe you've lived on this continent long enough to know about The Game of the Supreme God, right?"
"I have certainly heard of it. What about it?"
"My request is simple: I would like your help in finding a part of the Supreme Deity's mission."
"Is that all?"
"That's all."
"Ha! Ha! You really know how to find a place. To be honest, I do have one in my hand. Take a look and see if this is what you're looking for." As he spoke, the Dragon King took out a black fan-shaped token from beneath a scale on his body. The token depicted a man holding a Great Axe, seemingly chopping something.
Upon seeing the token, Liu Guanfeng's eyes lit up. Yes, this was exactly what he had been searching for, a part of The Game of the Supreme God.
"Dragon King, where did you get this token?"
"I don't know where it came from. I only know that this item was passed down to me by the previous Dragon King, who mentioned that someone would come asking for this token. It seems you are the one."
Liu Guanfeng smiled and nodded. "Since you already have what I need, I will do my utmost to help you retrieve what you require."
"Very well, I will wait for your return on Dragon Island."
"Time is of the essence. Nightshade, I won't rest here any longer. We are leaving."
"Since you are all in such a hurry, I won't keep you. Little Black, remember to visit me often."
"Don't worry, I think I'll come to see you frequently in the future."
"The Dragon King bids farewell."
After saying that, Little Black took Liu Guanfeng and XP into the air, heading straight towards the Knight's continent. As they flew over the outskirts of Dragon Island, Liu Guanfeng encountered Golden Retriever again. It seemed Golden Retriever wanted to kill Liu Guanfeng with its gaze once more. However, Liu Guanfeng didn't care; he smiled and waved at Golden Retriever, saying, "Golden Retriever, I'm leaving now. I'll be back in a few days; I hope to see you again."
Golden Retriever disdainfully replied, "Don't worry; you'll definitely see me when you return because I'll be patrolling here for more than half a year. Hurry up and go; I hope you get eaten by another beast so I won't have to worry about you."
By the time they left Dragon Island, it was already afternoon. Liu Guanfeng asked Little Black to find a nearby small island to land on; they needed to rest and sort out some matters regarding their mission.
Around six o'clock in the evening, Little Black found a small island based on its memory. The island was quite large and had two peaks. After arriving on the island with his two mounts, Liu Guanfeng entered the forest to hunt. Due to their strength difference, Liu Guanfeng and his two mounts quickly caught many prey.
After finding a cave, Liu Guanfeng set up a campfire inside and began roasting food over it. After having a simple dinner, Liu Guanfeng started discussing mission details with his two mounts.
"Little Black, XP, do you two know what Hellfire Heartstone looks like?"
Little Black shook his head, "I don't know about this. Xuanwu Uncle loves minerals, but among the many minerals he has collected, I have never heard of this one, let alone what it looks like."
"How about you, xp? Do you know anything about this mineral?"
"Hellfire Heartstone is produced near the Earth's core. Because it comes from the center of the Magma, and its shape resembles a heart, it is named Hellfire Heartstone. The formation of Hellfire Heartstone is quite troublesome; it takes about five hundred years to form three pieces. Since it is produced in the Earth's core, Hellfire Heartstone contains extremely pure and powerful Fire Department energy. The energy contained in a single Hellfire Heartstone can allow an ordinary Fifth Tier Fire Department magical beast to break through to Ninth Tier."
"Then wouldn't a Sixth Tier or Seventh Tier magical beast directly rise to Tenth Rank, becoming a Divine Beast?"
"Master, it's not that easy. You saw how difficult it was for me and Little Black to evolve into Divine Knights. We had to undergo the baptism of heavenly thunder, and after reaching Ninth Tier, magical beasts find it very hard to take that final step. Just look at the vast In the Sea, there are countless types of magical beasts, yet those at the Divine Beast Level are still very rare. This is because the baptism of heavenly thunder is not simple at all; even with extreme caution, one could be instantly obliterated. Especially for Water Type and Golden Class magical beasts, their ascension is even more challenging. I was able to advance smoothly thanks to the help of my master and little Boss Black. Therefore, most magical beasts accumulate energy within themselves after reaching Ninth Tier, and they usually only make a desperate attempt to break through when their lifespan is nearing its end. After breaking through, they will possess infinite life; even if they don't succeed, they are merely shortening their lifespan a bit."
Liu Guanfeng nodded, "So that's why most of these strong Divine Knights only have Eighth Rank or Ninth Tier magical beasts. It turns out that Tenth Rank is too rare."
"Do you think everyone has your good fortune of having two Divine Beasts by their side?" Little Black said sarcastically.
Liu Guanfeng just scratched his head and replied, "I can't help it if I'm lucky; I can only say my character is too good."
"Alright, stop interrupting and let xp continue."
"Hellfire Heartstone was originally guarded by the Hellhound, but who knew that over six hundred years ago, two black dragons came in from outside and directly occupied the underground Three Layers, which originally belonged to the jurisdiction of the Hellhound, driving all the Hellhound down to the second layer."
"xp, I remember you are also a Hellhound, right?"
xp nodded, "When we were driven down to the second layer, I hadn't been born yet. Everything I know has been told to us by those adult Hellhound."
"Weren't you able to fight back?"
"We did fight back, but our Hellhound clan was influenced by our bodies; our chief and elders were only Ninth Tier magical beasts. How could we possibly win against those two Tenth Rank magical beasts? After losing nearly ten thousand Hellhound, our chief and elders had no choice but to retreat to the second layer."
"xp, what do you mean by saying you were influenced by your bodies?"
"I’m not sure either; it's just what those adult Hellhound said. They said that when we grow to Ninth Tier, our energy will no longer increase at all, so they claim we are a cursed species."
"Then why didn't you feel that way back then?"
"I'm not really sure. I was kicked out when I was very young, so maybe I'll understand when I go back."
Liu Guanfeng nodded, "That makes everything easier; we just need to follow xp home."
"I'm afraid it won't be that easy. There are two Tenth Rank black dragons guarding the area near Hellfire Heartstone, so it's not going to be a simple task."
"That's fine; we can just go in and take a look. xp, where is your world located?"
"Our world is called Underworld on Knight's Great Land. The entrance is near Red Tiger City within the Southern Tiger Empire. We can reach it from Red Tiger City; there's a Dead Volcano, and the entrance is at the volcano's mouth. The entire mountain range belongs to Heavenly Beast Mountain Range. If we leave from here, we should arrive in about ten days."
"Alright, let's get some rest here and set out early tomorrow to accompany xp to its family."
Meanwhile, on Dragon Island, the Two-Headed Golden Dragon King Nightshade was lying in its spacious cave, gazing with its four eyes in the direction Liu Guanfeng had gone, muttering, "Why do I feel such a dislike when I see that little dog? I can't help but want to crush it. Why is that? I've never felt this way before. It seems I should find a time to visit Dragon Tomb and see those old Little Guys." With that, Nightshade closed its eyes.
Far away on Knight's Great Land, the Eastern Dragon Empire welcomed the Imperial Envoy Guo Huai from Guardian Nation. At that moment, Guo Huai was resting at an inn, repeatedly rehearsing in his mind what he would say to Shangguan Ji the next day. His purpose for coming was clear: to demand either Liu Guanfeng or the items Liu Guanfeng had auctioned off. So on the way, Guo Huai thought about how he should speak to Shangguan Ji to make him comply.
He also considered various reactions Shangguan Ji might have or excuses he might offer. However, Guo Huai only thought about how Shangguan Ji would negotiate prices with him; he never considered the possibility of refusal. As an emperor of an empire, it would be unwise to offend Guardian Nation. There had been similar incidents in the past where the king of Guardian Nation immediately ordered the dethronement of that empire's king. Since then, all emperors in Capital City have shown great respect for the king of Guardian Nation and complied with his orders.
Guo Huai didn't need to think about his own attitude; he represented Guo Xiaotian this time, who was the spokesperson for Guardian Xuanyuan Guang on this land. Who would dare ignore what the Guardian said? Guo Huai could already envision Shangguan Ji bowing and scraping before him.
The more Guo Huai thought about it, the happier he became until he finally closed his eyes and fell asleep with a smile.
