"You bastard!" An elderly merman lunged at her.The orange-scaled mermaid flashed between them, intercepting him mid-stride and seizing the middle-aged merman by the arm."How dare you fight before me?" she said coldly."Everyone, what are you waiting for? Attack them!" a mermaid roared.At once, the entire hall erupted. Mermaids and mermen surged forward, forcing the orange-scaled mermaid to release her grip as they overwhelmed her from all sides."You bastards! You will all pay for this!" She raised her hand, energy surging violently around her palm, then unleashed it.A devastating blast tore through the hall. Most of the mermaids and mermen were hurled away like broken shells, but the stronger ones dug in and held their ground. It didn’t last long. Reinforcements from Reumia stormed in and crushed the remaining resistance in moments.Gia spun around, searching for Samuel. When she heard they were under attack, she had rushed over without even checking if he was following.Now fear

In the Aetheris kingdom, deep beneath the river."Why are Merikis and the princess not back yet?" a merman asked, frowning as he paced back and forth, agitation written all over him.Around a long, towering table, mermaids and mermen sat in tense silence, their eyes tracking his restless movements."Maybe they couldn’t find the seed and are searching for other solutions," one merman suggested cautiously."Then they are wasting time."Every gaze snapped toward the speaker. She was a mermaid with green scales and pure white eyes. A strange-looking bag hung from her shoulder, and she held a tall scepter in her left hand. Her presence alone commanded attention."Divine Doctor Miriam, what do you mean?" the pacing merman asked carefully, coming to a halt.Divine Doctor Miriam was the most powerful divine doctor in the Aetheris kingdom, and right now, the queen’s survival rested entirely in her hands."The moon shade seed is the only thing that can save the queen. If they cannot find it, th

"Samuel, are you a cheat?" Susan couldn’t help but ask.The others all nodded in agreement. They were still struggling to navigate the trials, risking their lives for the reward, while he had already found a way to claim it without even lifting a finger.What else could he be if not a walking cheat? He was already overwhelmingly powerful despite his young age. Even with their lucky encounters, they couldn’t compare to him."You guys should go ahead. There’s not much time left. After completely receiving the inheritance, you might be ejected. I’ll be going first. I have other things to handle," he said before his figure blurred and vanished.*********Gia waited patiently, but doubt slowly crept in. Maybe Samuel had abandoned them."I think he’s not coming back, my lady. Let’s go. We might find other solutions," one of the mermen said cautiously.Gia said nothing. She knew he was probably right, yet a faint hope lingered. It wasn’t as if they had any other options.Suddenly, the space

Samuel looked toward Gia."You guys should stay here for a while. I’ll be back soon, and I’ll take you to your Kingdom," he said."Take us?" They exchanged confused glances. Weren’t they supposed to be the ones taking him, not the other way around?Samuel injected more Aether qi into the sword."What energy is this? I’ve never seen anything so pure and powerful," Gilbert said in admiration. It was a pity it wasn’t a type of energy he could absorb permanently. He could only use it to tear open space for them to pass through.Gia and the others stared in shock as the space before them split apart. Samuel stepped in, and it sealed shut behind him.********Sophia and the others had decided to wait a little longer, but their patience was already running thin, knowing time was against them. Suddenly, they felt something stir behind them.Everyone turned, surprised to see Samuel standing there."You, what are you doing here? Do you also want the Zaki tribe inheritance?" Mobius asked.Samuel

Gia stood up and leapt into the air, then walked across it as if it were solid ground. In the next moment, she appeared closer to the scene, but this time kept her distance from Samuel."How did you become this powerful?" she muttered, her voice low and strained."What? You think I should stop growing stronger and wait for you to catch me and beat me up?" he replied with a smirk.Gia fell silent. At this rate, she could not afford to offend him."Fine." She lowered her head, her shoulders dipping."If you will, sir, can you please listen to me and understand our plight?" she pleaded, her fingers tightening at her sides."Alright. Go ahead." After a brief pause, Samuel gave a small nod. He was also curious why they wanted the moon shade seed so badly.Gia nodded gratefully and began explaining.They were from River Aetheris, a vast river in the western region. They had originally been subordinates of one of the most powerful mermaid kingdoms dwelling in the only ocean in this world.Bu

"I wonder what kind of difficulties Sheena would meet over there." Samuel frowned as he hurried along the road she had taken.He noticed the walls were not made of rock like the path leading to the Soulrender. Instead, they were constructed from a kind of special stone. He reached out and touched them. They were cold to the touch."This is grand, I must say. This Demon Queen really prepared the path to her inheritance in a grand way. With all these shenanigans, I hope the trial won't be too difficult," he thought as he continued forward.The road seemed to stretch endlessly. He pushed his speed to the maximum, and a few minutes later, he arrived in a large hall.There was nothing particularly strange about it at first glance, except for its extravagance. The walls were adorned with intricate carvings made from special stones, along with strange symbols etched deeply into the surface.He looked ahead and saw Sheena standing before a massive wall covered in symbols he couldn't make out
