84: The Shock of the Demigod

Actually, arriving a bit late saved a lot of losses.

"You!" Long Haotian stood up abruptly at this moment, but thinking of the Soul Oath, he was helpless and could only admit defeat.

"Why the long faces, everyone?" Bei Chen smilingly stored all the treasures into his space ring.

"If you bet, you must be prepared to lose; you can't always make a profit without loss. And..." He suddenly lowered his voice, "I'll pick some of these things you've provided to give to Zhou Xing later. This is no small favor. Once Zhou Xing grows up smoothly in the future, if nothing else, I think the Demigod Realm won't be a problem for him."

"That's right; it's just losing a treasure, but if they could gain the favor of a future Demigod Realm Awakened One, the benefits for them would be significant."

Instantly, several of them felt a bit better.

Afterward, everyone seemed to forget the previous unpleasantness, eating and drinking, and began to interact with great enthusiasm.

That night, Bei Chen appeared at Wei Guangming's residence in Dawn City.

At this moment, he stared intently at Bei Chen, his Demigod Realm cultivation unable to suppress his violently fluctuating emotions.

"Six... six elements?" His voice was low. "Bei Chen, you should know that this is no joking matter."

As he spoke, an inexplicable aura enveloped Bei Chen.

Bei Chen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "City Lord, I only knew he had five elements at first. This guy even kept the god of healing's ability from me."

"The reason I came to see you today is also in the hope of finding a sufficient backer for Zhou Xing. Because this is of great importance, his abilities will eventually be exposed in the future, and there will be many troubles from the Shadows, especially from the Divine Gene."

"Indeed, I would have done the same if I were you. Six elements, and even being able to continue fusing divinity fragment—this is truly too important. Perhaps Zhou Xing can truly condense a Godhead and become an existence no less than the Ancient Gods. If so, the Divine Gene will never be able to achieve their goals again."

Wei Guangming also forcibly suppressed his inner excitement. "In that case, go find Zhou Xing and bring him to me. It would be fine if I didn't know, but now that I do, some things must be arranged in advance."

"Yes, City Lord, I'll be right back." Bei Chen then turned and went to Tingyu Pavilion to find Zhou Xing.

As for Wei Guangming, he could clearly feel his racing heartbeat at this moment.

In all these years, the last time he was this excited was when he luckily stepped into the Demigod Realm.

"The six-element Fusion is of great importance; I must contact the Commander..." After a brief hesitation, a golden rune condensed at Wei Guangming's fingertip. With a gentle flick, the rune sank into the Void Realm and vanished.

In less than a minute, the space within the room suddenly distorted, and a figure appeared out of thin air.

The newcomer wore a loose robe and appeared to be only in his early thirties, but his eyes seemed to contain endless ages.

This person was the true leader of The Watchers, the second strongest person in the world, a super Awakened One at the Peak of the Demigod Realm, Jiang Ming.

"Guangming, what matter is so urgent that you directly used a precious Message Stone to contact me?"

Jiang Ming's voice was gentle yet carried a great majesty. "I am currently handling an anomaly here in the Western Continent."

Wei Guangming looked at him and bowed respectfully. "Commander, the main reason is that a special Awakened One named Zhou Xing has emerged in this Special Training Camp selection. It is currently confirmed that he has mastered six types of divine abilities."

The temperature in the room dropped abruptly, and golden Light flared in the eyes of Jiang Ming's Clone. "Are you certain?"

"The Star City Chief under my command told me personally." Wei Guangming handed over a data report.

"Zhou Xing, at the Control Mid-Stage, possesses six divine abilities: Frost, Flame, Healing, Combat, Light, and Shadow. They are all perfectly fused, and in the future, as his strength increases, he might be able to fuse even more types of divinity fragment."

The report was a simple record summarized by Bei Chen, which included Zhou Xing's background.

"Dependent on his younger sister, who was also subjected to divinity erosion for a long time. From the military, then suddenly underwent self-Awakening..."

Jiang Ming took the report and murmured softly.

Then, the entire paper turned into golden specks of Light and vanished.

"Haha, excellent! If The Officials knew they had lost such a Genius, I expect Elder Long might slap everyone involved to death."

"As it turns out, it's a stroke of luck for us, The Watchers."

"The Divine Gene has been searching for a multi-element natural Awakened One for so many years, but it turns out he belongs to us, The Watchers."

Jiang Ming appeared very happy.

Wei Guangming lowered his voice. "Commander, what should we do next? I've already sent Bei Chen to fetch Zhou Xing, as I intend to confirm it personally."

Jiang Ming nodded. "Just let nature take its course. However, necessary concealment measures are also needed. The Divine Gene likely already has information on him, but at most, they only know he is a Triple-element Fusion user."

He paced to the window, looking out at the distant Dawn Square. "What we need to do now is to muddy the waters."

"You mean..."

"Business as usual; let him continue to maintain his triple-element status." Jiang Ming turned around, a sharp Light flashing in his eyes. "With his strength, a spot is practically guaranteed. Ice and fire dual-elements plus healing will at most attract the attention of the Divine Gene, but it won't be enough to make them take direct action."

"Of course, Zhou Xing's safety is of the utmost importance. Once the selection is over, I will send someone to Dawn City to pick them up. During this time, you need to observe closely to prevent spies from the Divine Gene or other forces from getting close to Zhou Xing."

"Remember, do not reveal Zhou Xing's situation to any unnecessary person. As for Elder Tie and Bei Chen, if necessary, you can have them swear a Soul Oath. This way, even if that person from the Divine Gene makes a move, they won't get any useful information."

"They're coming. You can appropriately ask Zhou Xing if he needs anything. What we, The Watchers, need to do now is to make him have a good impression of us, or even a strong sense of belonging."

"This is crucial for us to resolve the threats of the Divine Gene, Mutated Beasts, and even the Spatial Rifts in the future. There is no room for error."

"I'll take my leave now. I need to deal with the situation over there with my full attention and cannot be too Divided Soul."

Jiang Ming sensed Bei Chen and Zhou Xing approaching at this time. After a few brief instructions, his figure completely dissipated.

Just then, footsteps were heard outside the door. Wei Guangming let out a long breath as a knock sounded on the door.

"Come in."

Then Bei Chen led Zhou Xing into the room.

Upon seeing Wei Guangming, Zhou Xing also hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings, City Lord."
