At this point, any breakthrough in one's strength might be the chance to survive.

Although these people had an unfinished elegy as a safety net, death was not entirely unbearable compared to other things.

However, the Unfinished Elegy is not a complete tool for resurrection; with each death, they return to the state of 'musical notes'.

It's like starting over, and some changes will be interrupted and reverted, basically returning to the original state.

In addition, there are too many powers in the war of gods that can directly erase existence and destroy the very foundation of existence.

Those killed by this power are also very difficult to revive.

Nems sat in his room, carefully considering his options.

To fight and kill a powerful god, even if it is just a damaged divine body within the world's possibilities, is not a simple matter.

In terms of mid-level combat power, the group in Sleeping Town, plus the limit-breaking power provided by the Philosopher Stone, is already sufficient.

Even the lowest-ranking cannon fodder can be replaced by demons.

Demons have a natural affinity for combat.

Most low-level demons don't ask why, what their goal is, or whether they'll live or die; as long as they hear there's a battle to fight, they'll eagerly join the fray.

Because this is the nature of demons; only through killing can they gain a future.

We'll figure out a way to boost the basic power of those demons, and then we'll have cannon fodder.

Although Nemes respects human beings as human beings.

But when it comes to demons, to be honest, most of them don't think they have the qualities of a human being.

Most demons live in a state of chaos for a long time, and their sense of self is not very clear.

Only those who live long enough will gain wisdom.

In this respect, using these demons as cannon fodder is actually for their own good.

Under normal circumstances, most of them, the demons, don't even live long enough to grow brains before they become prey for other demons and die.

They are drawn into the war of gods. Under the realm of gods, Nemus manipulates their power to form a scheme. If they are lucky, they can kill high-energy life forms and grow rapidly.

In terms of probability, survival rate, and even efficiency, it is better than them slowly hunting and being hunted in the abyss.

It can only be said that the Abyss is so rotten that even when others treat these demons with malice, they are often actually doing them a favor.

"The real problem now lies in high-end combat power!" Nemus never underestimates any opponent.

Despite his unremarkable performance in the past, the God of Discipline is one of the most powerful beings in the world.

Therefore, even with the help of the Moon Goddess, Nemus might not be a match for the God of Discipline in terms of high-end combat power.

Furthermore, although the Moon Goddess is a partner, their cooperation is entirely based on mutual interests.

Interests are the most resilient form of cooperation, but contracts are meant to be torn up.

Nems understood perfectly well that cooperation based solely on mutual benefit could not last.

A long-lasting and healthy relationship must involve other factors.

Perhaps it's love, perhaps it's responsibility, perhaps it's belief, perhaps it's ideal.

Nemus and the Moon Goddess do not have these things, so it can be predicted that the Moon Goddess will not contribute much in the subsequent war of the gods.

Therefore, Nemus must prepare other high-end combat forces that can participate in the war of gods.

Not long after, the people waiting for Nemes arrived.

It was the city lord and his second generation.

After a period of getting to know each other and thinking things over, the two of them came here in perfect unison to look for Nemus.

The second generation is already aware of the Dartmenley family's tragic fate.

The entire family was wiped out, and all the surviving bloodlines were outsiders.

However, the second generation can understand this.

After all, once he found out about the Philosopher's Stone, he took a desperate gamble and used the Holy Path.

The situation of Saint Luna being cursed will only worsen for the entire family, thus entering a vicious cycle.

Because nothing goes smoothly for him, he wants to resort to some unorthodox methods to ensure success.

Because they used crooked and unethical methods, they sowed the seeds of even deeper hidden dangers.

Because of these hidden dangers, the entire family faced even greater difficulties.

More than two hundred years have passed since he made that desperate gamble, so it's normal for his family to have been wiped out.

He couldn't even muster any hatred for Nemes, the man who had wiped out his clan.

Given the situation with the Dartmenley family, wiping them out would actually be a good thing.

At least it brought in an individual like Nemes, who possessed the bloodline of the Dartmenley family.

“Lord Nemus, I would like to wager three chips.” The second generation stood before Nemus, behaving with utmost respect.

He currently has only one goal—to rebuild the Dartmenley family and bring it back to its former glory!

In this situation, he believed that putting all his chips on Nemes was the best option.

“Oh, three chips?” Nemes looked at the second generation with interest.

The other party is quite capable and resourceful; they are a top talent.

If it weren't for bad luck and being implicated in the Saint-Datmenley affair, things might not have turned out so tragically.

“That’s right, the first one is the Sacred Heart Technique,” ​​the second generation said seriously.

Saint-Datmenli was not a devout believer; he was a typical self-centered aristocrat.

Therefore, he could not possibly place his own interests below those of God.

In order to preserve his 'self', Saint Dartmenti, in collaboration with Dinai, created the Sacred Heart Technique.

"This is a special secret technique that can use a 'devout heart' as material to disguise one's thoughts and mind. Even if a god 'penetrates' it with divine power, he will not be able to discover the true mind of the person beneath the sacred heart."

"Lord Nemus's goal is the God of Discipline, so this secret technique might be very useful."

“Secret arts…” Nemus nodded. From this, it can be roughly seen that the secret arts lineage of the Silver City is most likely inherited from Saint Dartmenley.

The other party is a true master of arcane arts. Previously, the Dartmenley family had the ability to use sacred bones to perform arcane arts, thereby giving the Black Stone species unique characteristics.

It must be said that this one secret technique alone is enough of a bargaining chip for the second generation.

Chapter 772 Fragment

"As for the second bargaining chip, it is a treasure that our ancestor once obtained!" The second generation did not hide anything, nor did he have any intention of bargaining with Nemus.

He immediately revealed the information about that treasure.

Saint-Datemenley was undoubtedly a man with destiny in his hands.

His experience is very similar to Meng He's.

They were all from impoverished minor noble families.

He had even lost his noble title at that time, because the origins of his family were no longer traceable.

Only a family-inherited breathing technique and a few fragments of information can indicate that their family was once noble.

This is not surprising. For countless years, anyone of the golden race has been able to establish a family and call themselves a noble.

Throughout history, countless noble families have been established, and countless noble families have perished.

It is said that the oldest noble family in the world today is a family that has continued from the mythical era to the present day.

Its origin is a 'god' who still exists today, so his family naturally exists as well.

However, its bloodline has long since faded to the point where it is difficult to exhibit the characteristics of a mythical creature.

The Saint-Datmenley family is incomparable; it has declined to the extreme and may even die out at any time.

In this situation, like Meng He, he unexpectedly obtained a treasure of unknown origin.

With that treasure, he joined the Discipline Church at the time and quickly became a paladin.

However, Saint Dartmenli's opportunity was different from that of Menghe; there were no other gods' backup plans in his case.

He himself is also more clear-headed than Meng He.

Therefore, even after becoming a Golden Seed, his potential was not completely cut off, and he gradually discovered the special nature of that treasure.

“That’s a tattered page,” the second generation said earnestly.

"It seems to record something in some incomprehensible way."

"But no matter how we read it, we can't read the content correctly."

“We know there’s something on it, and if we look at just the smallest fragment, we can even confirm that it appears to be some kind of line.”

"But once we observe everything, we can't figure anything out." The second generation still looked bewildered as he said this.

That feeling of having something right in front of you, but not being able to understand anything about it, is too counterintuitive.

When the second generation got to this point, Nemus's interest was piqued.

This feeling is too similar to the unknowability of one's own characteristic, "external existence".

“As long as you carry that tattered scroll with you, you can see a person’s unique ‘destiny’,” the second generation said. “Then, by making specific contact with that person, you can capture their destiny.”

"In the end, your luck will get better and better, and your path will become smoother and smoother."

It could be said that Saint-Datmenli, relying on the fragments of the scroll, quickly seemed to possess a "destiny".

Through sheer luck, he rose to the ranks of the Golden Seed, then encountered Dina on Earth, successfully connected with her, and quickly achieved a remarkable turnaround, becoming a Saint and realizing a leap in social standing within the Church of Discipline.

"After I inherited that tattered scroll, I placed it in a hidden place on the Azure Whale before entering the Land of Sleep."

"You didn't pass it on to anyone else in the family?" Nemes asked.

“They can’t handle it.” The second generation shook his head: “If that thing isn’t used properly, it will only expose them and make them die even faster.”

“I left behind more subtle clues, so if they can’t find them, they won’t need to get that thing.”

In the main world's possibilities, on the Azure Whale, the sunlight still appears intense.

Nemus's figure appeared on the dorsal fin mountain in an instant.

All I can say is that Dorsal Fin Village is truly a fascinating place.

Following the location given by the second generation, Nemus entered a very ordinary place on the back fin mountain and found a very ordinary stone.

The moment Naim received the stone, he didn't notice any significant difference between it and an ordinary stone.

Until Nemes crushed the stone.

A piece of paper appeared in Nemus's hand.

This piece of paper is just a normal A4 size sheet, except that about half of it is missing.

The moment Nemus unfolded the paper and saw what was on it, he felt a wave of dizziness.

It was as if some indescribable thing was constantly twisting and turning on it.

During this process, Nemes was able to see some changes in the lines.

Vaguely, Nems seemed to be able to see something with a certain special pattern on it.

But upon closer inspection, I felt as if my thoughts were being influenced by this thing.

Nemes then rolled up the paper, and the effect immediately dissipated.

"According to the second generation, they just don't understand it, they don't have this feeling that their thinking is being polluted..." Nemus held the paper, and then found that his fate had not changed at all.

It seems to have no rules related to fate at all.

When Nemus heard the second generation say that this thing could see fate and hunt fate, he thought that this thing might be something like mud spots or something related to the Fate Tablet.

Now it seems that this thing has nothing to do with the Tablet of Fate.

Nemes then took the tattered scroll back to Airfoil City.

Then he looked at the other people.

Suddenly, I realized that my 'field of vision' had changed.
