Primordial Sin System



Chapter 294-51st level

After treating both Draco and Grace, they returned to their residence, and Dave seized the opportunity to have a discussion with the emperor about the startling information he had learned from the assassins.

"What? My minister and general are among them?" the emperor exclaimed in disbelief. Both individuals were highly trusted subordinates, especially since they had served him since he was just the crown prince.

Dave nodded in confirmation and replied, "You're correct. If my intuition is accurate, they must have employed a special technique to possess their bodies and deceive others."

"Demons are skilled in body possession, making it difficult to detect them if not for my heightened senses," Dave added.

The emperor's anger was evident, but he managed to compose himself and said, "In that case, I owe you another debt of gratitude. Allow me to handle this matter personally."

Dave nodded, deciding to observe the emperor's actions from the sidelines.

A day passed, and shocking news swept through the empire. The general and minister were revealed to be demons, and as a warning to other hidden demons, their bodies were displayed at the city gate. The emperor also provided a list of demon-affiliated clans, sending shockwaves of fear through the commoners.

Dave couldn't help but commend the emperor's bravery and strategizing. The emperor's actions would undoubtedly attract the attention of stronger demons, but he must have a plan in place.

Meanwhile, Dave shared the list of demons with Yudi, instructing him to capture them alive instead of killing them. Grace would be the one to administer their punishments, as she was on the verge of a breakthrough and required more kills to advance.

A bloodbath unfolded within the empire, yet within a week, peace was restored, and many demons had been slain or executed. The emperor hunted down countless demonic cultivators, leaving no one from Dave's list spared.

Initially skeptical, the emperor's doubts vanished when he witnessed the demons revert to their true forms upon death. He wholeheartedly believed in Dave's words.

Dave turned his attention to Grace, who had reached the pinnacle of the Imperial Lord with his guidance and dual cultivation. He generously supplied her with herbs and treasures to ensure a safe breakthrough. In just a week, her strength soared to new heights.

Meanwhile, Dave maintained his steady cultivation, dedicating his efforts to further comprehending the law of water. However, he couldn't help but feel that progress was sluggish. While he could recover his eyesight and acquire a new law to the perfected stage within a week, he sensed that it would take much longer this time.

Lost in thought, Dave received unexpected good news from the emperor. The emissary of the Alexander Clan would soon arrive in their world, although their purpose remained undisclosed. The emperor, initially fearful that he had offended the clan, realized that it was merely his own worry. The clan had sent a message stating their arrival in three days.

Dave couldn't shake the feeling that he was the reason behind their visit, but he paid it little mind. He knew it was time to reunite with his clan, despite lacking extensive information about the elusive Alexander Clan.

With the meeting set to occur in three days, Dave decided to enter his space world and attempt the Tower of Trials once again. As he entered his mansion, he noticed its emptiness, realizing that the girls must be training with Tracy. Determined, he made his way to the tower.

Along the way, he was met with respect and reverence from those he encountered. Inside his space domain, he was treated as a deity, and loyalty to him ran deep.

Dave also took the opportunity to check on the progress of the Beasts World. The twelve leaders of the Mythical Clans, now his pets, had all ascended to the rank of Imperial Lord. The shackles that once limited their cultivation had been shattered, allowing them to transcend the Immortal level.

Approaching the Tower of Trials, Dave spotted the bored Francia standing at the entrance. He approached her, teasingly asking, "Hey, why the pout?"

Dave drew nearer, pinching her cheeks playfully. Francia, taken aback, recognized Dave and immediately embraced him, tears streaming down her face.

"Master Francia is lonely. The ladies haven't visited me in many days," she whimpered.

Dave was struck by realization. As the spirit of the Tower of Trials, Francia was unable to leave its confines and accompany the ladies.

He comforted her, assuring her that they would visit the tower in due time. Curiosity piqued, he inquired of the system whether there was a way for Francia to leave the space world.

The system responded, [Ding! Yes, if the hosts complete the trials up to level 100, the spirit known as Francia can be freed. The Tower of Trials can then be utilized as a treasure by the host."]

Dave was astonished, understanding that it would take considerable time and effort to free Francia from the tower's grasp.

After offering Francia solace, Dave entered the Tower of Trials, resolute in his determination to progress further.

[Ding! Welcome to the 51st level of the Tower of Trials] the system announced.

A mission materialized before Dave's eyes: "Annihilate every centipede monster. There are ten waves, and the intensity of each wave will increase as the host survives. Rewards will be based on the host's performance."

Dave was taken aback by the new challenge presented at the 51st level. The rewards would now depend on his performance, pushing him to unleash his full potential.

With steely determination, Dave stepped forward, ready to face the horde of centipede monsters that awaited him.
