Starting from primitive world, building the strongest divine kingdom

"Alright, I said, the old man is locked in a secret cell beneath the Sloth Temple." Milo finally relented.

The Captain of the Enforcement Squad immediately arranged for people to search for the reclusive old man, while Enzo and the others began to study the Scroll.

"I hope the old man is alright." Matilda said with concern.

Enzo looked at the Scroll in his hand. "We need to decipher the secrets of this Scroll quickly. It might help us prevent other conspiracies of the Sloth Temple."

The group entered a quiet room and began to carefully study the Scroll.

The Scroll was filled with strange patterns and ancient text, looking very mysterious.

Enzo tried to use the method he'd previously used to decode runes to interpret the contents of the Scroll. His fingers gently touched the characters, and suddenly, the light on the Scroll grew intense, illuminating the entire room.

"This..." The group stared in amazement at the sight before them.

Within the light, blurry images seemed to appear, as if guiding them towards something.

"Everyone, look! These images seem to be maps of some places." Kosor said, pointing at the images in the light.

Enzo observed carefully. "That's right. These might hold clues to the origin of the Ancestor Meat. We need to study where these maps lead."

While they were focused on studying the images on the Scroll, those sent to rescue the reclusive old man in the secret cell beneath the Sloth Temple encountered unexpected trouble...

They arrived at the entrance to the underground cell, only to find it covered by a powerful energy shield, preventing them from entering.

"What do we do now?" a temple guard asked anxiously.

The captain frowned. "This shield is no ordinary one. We need to find a way to break it. We can't let Milo's scheme continue."

Meanwhile, the leader of the Pride Temple, upon hearing about the events at the Rage Temple, smirked coldly. "Hmph, Rage Temple is in chaos now—this is our opportunity."

He immediately called together several core members of the temple, a cunning glint flashing in his eyes. "That fool Milo, he's been caught in a trap. But this is good for us. While they're busy fighting among themselves, we can seize the Ancestor Meat."

An elder from the Pride Temple furrowed his brow. "But we were at a disadvantage at the auction before. This time, we need to be cautious."

The leader waved his hand dismissively. "Don't worry, we won't confront them directly this time. I already have a plan. Let's have our spies in the Rage Temple keep a close watch on the situation. Once we get the chance, we'll seize the clues and items that Enzo and the others have."

Meanwhile, in a room at the Rage Temple, Enzo and his group made new progress in their study of the Scroll. The maps in the images gradually became clearer, revealing an ancient ruin located in a mysterious valley, surrounded by strange markings.

"These markings seem to symbolize some kind of power. I've seen something similar in an ancient text." Patricia said, pointing to one of the symbols.

Enzo pondered for a moment. "If we can find the relevant ancient texts, we might be able to interpret these maps more accurately. The Rage Temple's library should have the information we need."

So, the group headed to the library. However, they were unaware that pairs of eyes were watching their every move from the shadows.

In the library, they began searching through the vast collection of ancient books for clues. Matilda flipped through a very old tome and suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Look, this mentions a power similar to the markings on the Scroll. It's an ancient guardian power, and only specific items can relieve it."

Kosor leaned over to take a look. "Then we need to find these specific items. It seems like we're getting closer to the source of the Ancestor Meat."

While they were focused on studying the ancient books, the guards in the underground prison of the Rage Temple finally discovered how to break the energy shield. They worked together to cast a special spell, and the shield began to ripple.

"Put more effort into it!" the captain shouted.

With a burst of intense light, the shield was finally broken. They quickly entered the prison and began searching for the reclusive old man.

Deep within the prison, they found the old man who had been imprisoned. He looked weak, but his eyes remained resolute.

"Old man, we're here to rescue you." One of the guards said.

The old man nodded slightly. "Thank you. Quickly, take me out of here. Milo's conspiracy is not over yet."

As they escorted the old man out of the prison, they suddenly encountered a group of mysterious figures in black — the people from the Sloth Temple.

"Trying to leave? Not so easy!" one of the figures in black shouted.

The temple guards immediately engaged in battle with the figures in black. Magic lights flickered throughout the underground prison corridor, and the sounds of shouting and fighting filled the air.

Meanwhile, in the library, Enzo and the others had discovered the specific item mentioned in the ancient book that could relieve the guardian power — the Tear of the Stars.

"The Tear of the Stars? What is that? Where do we find it?" Matilda asked, puzzled.

Enzo furrowed his brow. "The ancient books should have more information. Let's keep looking."

Just then, the door to the library was suddenly blasted open by a powerful force. A group of elegantly dressed individuals entered . It was the people from the Pride Temple.

"Enzo, hand over the clues and the Scroll you've found. Perhaps we'll spare your lives." The leader of the Pride Temple sneered.

Enzo's gaze sharpened. "You again? Looks like you won't stop until you hit a wall."

The tension in the air instantly escalated, and a fierce battle was about to erupt.

Enzo and his team clashed with the Pride Temple members in the library. Enzo moved like lightning, charging at the leader of the Pride Temple. His fist, accompanied by a howling wind, struck toward his opponent. The leader sidestepped effortlessly, avoiding the blow, and with a flash, a glowing longsword appeared in his hand, thrusting toward Enzo.

Matilda cast divine ice arts, sending beams of freezing light toward the other Pride Temple members. The enemies quickly countered with their own spells: some summoned fire shields, while others created walls of wind. Kosor swung his massive sword, charging into the enemy ranks. Every swing of his blade sent gusts of wind, forcing enemies in range to retreat. Patricia, standing nearby, cast supportive spells, boosting her teammates' strength and speed.

"You think you can stop us? Too naive!" the leader of the Pride Temple shouted, swinging his longsword. Several powerful energy waves shot from the blade, heading straight for Enzo and the others.

Enzo and his team quickly dodged, but the energy waves struck the bookshelf, instantly destroying it and scattering ancient books across the floor.

"We can't let them destroy the library!" Enzo shouted. He moved faster and launched another attack on the leader. This time, he timed it perfectly and kicked the leader's wrist, sending the longsword flying.

Just as the two sides were locked in a standoff, the Captain of the Enforcement Squad from the Rage Temple arrived with reinforcements.

"What's going on here? How dare you cause trouble in the Rage Temple!" the Captain bellowed.

Seeing the situation turning against them, the members of the Pride Temple tried to escape.

"Don't let them get away!" Enzo shouted.

The Captain led the charge, and the group gave chase, launching a pursuit through the halls of the Rage Temple.

Meanwhile, in the underground prison, the temple guards were still locked in a fierce battle with the figures in black from the Sloth Temple. The figures in black were numerous, and they fought with a determination to die, making the battle extremely brutal.

The reclusive old man watched the ongoing fight, then quietly said to a nearby guard, "We need to find a way to get out of here. These figures in black are just stalling for time. They must have other plans."

The guard nodded, and they began looking for an opportunity to break through.

Meanwhile, in the library, the Captain of the Enforcement Squad and his team managed to intercept some of the Pride Temple members, but a few still managed to escape.

Enzo frowned. "We can't let them get away. They'll definitely keep causing trouble."

The Captain glanced at Enzo. "We'll continue pursuing them. How about you? Are there any injuries?"

Enzo shook his head. "We're fine, but we need to keep searching for The Tear of the Stars and unravel the secrets of the Scroll."

Matilda picked up one of the ancient books from the ground. "Hopefully, there's a clue about The Tear of the Stars in here. We can't afford any more delays."

The group resumed their search for clues amidst the ruins of the library, while the entire Rage Temple descended into chaos. Various factions were moving in the shadows, as if an even greater storm was about to hit.

In another corner of the Rage Temple, a mysterious figure quietly appeared. He gazed in the direction of the library, a subtle smile tugging at the corner of his lips. "Looks like things are getting more interesting. Who will get their hands on the secret of the Ancestor Meat?"

Enzo and his group continued to search through the ancient books in the library and finally found a clue about The Tear of the Stars in a tattered little booklet.

"The Tear of the Stars, born at the junction of the Starry Sky and the Earth, gathering the powers of the sun, moon, and stars, shaped like a drop of water, emitting a radiant rainbow glow. It is hidden in the mysterious lake within the Dreamwood Forest, surrounded by illusion beasts that guard it." Matilda read aloud from the ancient book.

Kosor frowned. "Dreamwood Forest? That's a dangerous place. They say the illusion beasts can confuse a person's mind, and those who enter rarely come out unscathed."

Enzo's expression was resolute. "No matter how dangerous, we have to go. This is the key to finding the source of the Ancestor Meat."

Patricia nodded. "Then let's get ready and head out. But we need to be careful of ambushes from the Pride Temple or Sloth Temple along the way."

Just as they were about to leave the library, the Captain of the Enforcement Squad hurried over. "Enzo, we've found some suspicious signs outside Rage Temple. It might be that people from the Sloth or Pride Temple have set an ambush."

Enzo's brow furrowed. "It seems they won't let us leave easily. We need to come up with a way to avoid them."

After some discussion, they decided to leave through a secret passage in Rage Temple, one that was little-known and hopefully would allow them to avoid the enemy's surveillance.

Meanwhile, in the underground prison, the temple guards, after a fierce battle, finally drove back the figures in black from the Sloth Temple. They escorted the reclusive old man to safety.

"Old man, are you alright?" the Captain of the Enforcement Squad asked with concern.
