Undying Warlord

Dilan clearly recalled the Spider Queen he had fought. She was not exactly powerful, but she had been a fifth Tier existence.

In fact, the remaining Spiders had also been at the second, and the third Tier, which was actually not that bad.

Considering that there were not many monsters to hunt, it would be quite difficult to advance in the Tiers and become stronger if they wouldn't participate in the wars that happened all over Milarn.

At least, that was the only thing one could do rather than hunting the few monsters that were spread out all over Milarn.

Dilan didn't really plan to search hours for a single fifth Tier monster, or worse, even weaker monsters. The thought was enough for him to frown deeply, especially if he were to consider that it was more likely for Scouts of the Sun God to discover him. It was extremely frustrating the more he thought about it. 𝗳𝐫𝘦e𝘸𝗲𝚋𝓃𝚘v𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝒐m

However, Dilan wouldn't really have any problems with the lack of monsters, not if he wanted to advance in the Tiers at a slightly slower pace.

He could easily become a God as long as he used the Perfect Essence Cultivation technique and by spending enough time practicing it. Given that he practiced the highest stage of the technique, becoming a Demi God was something he could probably attain in a few months.

As for what happened afterward, Dilan didn't know yet. He would probably advance to the sixth Tier without the creation of a faux Divinity and create his True Divinity afterward.

Dilan had studied more than enough about divinities to know what ingredients he had to search for and how to create a True Divinity. If everything worked according to his plan, it would only require a few years to transcend the mortal realms, attain godhood and become a True God with the power of Ancient True Gods.

That was actually something Dilan wanted to achieve, hopefully without the need to spend too much time. He wanted to give his family and friends the peace they deserved, and becoming a True God with the strongest possible foundation was certainly the best way to secure their peace and safety for a very…a very very long time!

Unfortunately, there were too many hurdles in his way.

"Are the Battlefields of the Ancient Gods, and the Gates of Thousand Realms still accessible?" Dilan asked at this moment, stroking through his non-existent beard.

"We can access both, but we don't have a cleared Gate on the flying islands, not yet at least. So, if you want to access the Battlefields o the Ancient Gods or enter one of the Thousand Realms, you will have to search for a Gate on the surface," Lara explained before Siegfried jumped up, his bright expression telling everyone that he got an idea, probably a pretty bad one.

"Orrr Dilan conquers the Gate that manifested in the forest not too long ago!"

Lara sighed deeply, and she pulled her son down back to the couch to stay seated.

"You tend to forget that the Gate is humongous and that not even Oliver was able to scout it without getting detected. He had to flee because he encountered the dozen Demi Gods in that ginormous tribe of inhumanly strong Orcs…you forgot?" 𝒇𝘳𝐞𝚎𝓌𝑒𝑏𝒏𝑜𝙫ℯl.c𝚘𝒎

Dilan noticed that his sister was not in a good mood, and he tried to recall Oliver's powers when he had last fought by his side.

'He was good with shadows, that's probably why he turned into Scout…well, and the fact that he has a family to take care of now…but he was at the fourth Tier nonetheless…and was still discovered. That sounds even better than wreaking havoc in one of the Thousand Realms!

"Where exactly is that permanent Gate? I will take a look at it and probably conquer it while I'm already there. With a Gate to enter the Thousand Realms and the Battlefields of the Ancient Gods, we would have a few more ways to increase our strength without exposing the flying island. That sounds nice, doesn't it?" Dilan was starting to feel excited.

The situation was much better than expected, with a permanent Gate appearing on the flying island. That was perfect!

"You really are…just do whatever you want…" Marie said, sighing for the 100th time of the day. She recalled that Dilan had easily overwhelmed Felicia and that his Origin ability had evolved.

Dilan had to become stronger, one war or another, as well…and he was not a small child anymore. If he wanted to do something, he would just do it, one way or another!

"I planned to do that!" Dilan teased his sister before he got up from the couch. His eyes landed on Siegfried and he tilted his head.

"Do you have the contacts of the others? You guys should have unlocked the Divinity Board Messenger unlocked by now, right?"

Siegfried was the only one below the fourth Tier. Even his sisters had advanced to the fourth Tier after choosing non-combat occupations and solving missions that were not related to combat, at all. Thus, everyone had unlocked the Divinity Board Messenger, including Siegfried, whose situation was a little bit different because he had the Blessing of the Ancient Dragons.

His Divinity Board Messenger was never locked, to begin with.

"Of course, I have them. Should I add you to our group chats? We have a casual group chat, one black-code emergency chat, one chat for ordinary emergencies, and one formal group chat!" Siegfried's eyes were blazing when he saw that Dilan was interested in getting his contact details.

Meanwhile, the sisters could only shake their heads.

"Add me everywhere, I will just write them that I will enter the Gate in the forest. If the others are smart enough, they will come over as well. By the way, what's the difference between the black-code emergency chat and ordinary emergencies? Is it something like 'We are getting attacked by a True God' in comparison to 'A small army of Demi Gods is coming over'?

"Basically…yeah…"
