Please be my partner.

In short, he would definitely not give up. If there really were a time conflict, Melen would have a solution.

Don't forget, Melen also has saint friends. Although Rooney is only a new saint, he is already very powerful thanks to the talents of the Storm Giants.

The guest from the collector's side just said that a saint might be able to solve his problem, so it is not necessarily necessary for Mellen to take action personally, and the same applies to other saints.

Of course, brothers should settle accounts clearly. If Mellen invites Rooney to take action, it will not be just based on friendship. The compensation due must still be given.

Don't forget that Mellen had reaped huge rewards in the Thunder Temple in the Broken Land. He only needed to take out a part of it. Not to mention Rooney, maybe even the old saint of the Barbarian Giants would be tempted.

In response to Mellen's question, Bai Xi said, "As you expected, we also need to carefully consider the selection of personnel for the operation. We still have some time, so it won't start so soon."

"Of course, even if we set a time for the operation, we will only notify you a few days before it begins."

Mellen nodded slightly and said nothing more.

After all the conditions were agreed upon, Bai Xi left without any delay, just like Lucas.

Mellen waited for a moment, then suddenly frowned and picked up the fishing rod in his hand. It was empty, with neither a fish on the hook nor the bait that had been hung on it.

Mellen blinked and muttered to himself in disbelief, "Air Force?! I'm the God of Fishing in the Fisherman's Realm! How could I possibly be air force?!"

After staring at the fishing rod for a moment, Mellen suddenly realized, "It must be the problem with the fishing rod. I guess I need to find a technological world and replace it with a carbon fiber fishing rod. Preferably one with a T10000 rating or higher, the kind that can be used to build spaceships."

Xiao Honglian appeared on Mellen's left, looking at Mellen with admiration in her eyes and nodding seriously.

Little Red Lotus: Master is right! Master is the best!

Nasus curled his lips and said, "Then why don't you just create a magic fishing rod that has a 100% chance of catching fish?"

Mellen stared at the Holy Spirit Dog with wide eyes. While calculating the possibility of this matter in his mind, he asked in a low voice: "Are you questioning my fishing skills?!"

Nasus muttered to himself, "Do you think I don't know what you're up to in the Angler's Realm?" Rather than being the God of Fishing, he's more like the God of Cheats.

After a moment's silence, Nasus finally said, "How could that be! I simply think your fishing skills are already impressive, Melen. There's no need to expend further effort on this."

Mellen nodded as if he understood something and said, "That's true."

Without a suitable fishing rod, Mellen lost interest in fishing and turned around to leave this world.

What followed was a waste of time waiting on both ends. Mellen certainly wouldn't just sit there idle, and it was certainly impossible for him to really create a magic fishing rod that could catch fish 100%. He went to Evian Territory and began to explore more information about the Hades Spider.

The Hades Spider is an existence between chaotic life and orderly life, so although the Hades Spider's main nest is in the chaotic area of the spiritual world, it also has small nests in many stable nodes.

The Hades Spider is extremely xenophobic and is basically self-sufficient except for some necessary supplies, which are also obtained through fixed channels.

Although the Underworld Spiders' rampant hunting behavior during their trip to the Broken Lands offended many spirit races, the spirit world has its own rules. Once you enter the chaotic area, there is only hunting and being hunted. Sparing your life for the sake of your race is a favor, and even if you are killed, there is actually nothing to say.

Of course, the strength of the race itself can have a huge impact on this.

The actions of the Hades Spider simply pushed the already bad racial relations to a freezing point.

After personal observation, with Yin Re's help, and with the tacit consent of the Golden-Winged Eagle Ancestor, Melen obtained a considerable amount of information about the Underworld Spider.

About ten days later, Melen received a message from the collector, which ended the reconnaissance mission.

It is still the Shar Realm.

After the two met, the Collector said, "Come with me."

It can be said that Baisha Chamber of Commerce is worthy of being a cross-world chamber of commerce with enormous power, and its various advantages can be reflected in all aspects.

As for traveling, they all took a special teleportation array. If Mellen took a public teleportation array by himself, it would take at least ten times more time to cover the same distance.

According to collectors, the first president of Baisha Chamber of Commerce believed in the saying "time is money", so as the Baisha Chamber of Commerce expanded, he spared no expense to build the current "logistics network".

Of course, this was essentially the case for many super-large chambers of commerce. After all, the public teleportation array was too slow. If they borrowed the "logistics network" of another chamber of commerce, wouldn't it be like putting a chain around their neck and then handing the other end of the chain over to someone else?!

A day later, the two came to an inconspicuous little world.

Mellen looked at the Collector, who shrugged helplessly.

Mellen understood that if he wanted to know the client's information, he would probably have to meet him in person.

This is understandable. There is no order without rules. Customer information, especially the information of high-quality customers, is absolutely vital to any chamber of commerce.

After traveling for several more hours, the two arrived at a barren mountain. On the top of the mountain stood a huge castle full of dark Gothic style.

This castle is very strange. It is surrounded by a magic circle formed by dark forces and has a strong concealment ability. When you are far away, you can't sense it at all. Only when you get close can you notice some abnormalities.

As the two approached, the dark magic circle opened automatically, obviously preparing for their arrival.

Melen could clearly feel that this dark castle itself was a den of dragons and tigers, which was probably the fundamental reason why its owner was willing for the two of them to come in directly.

Mellen trusted the collector and had confidence in himself, so he walked into the dark castle with a normal expression.

The guards and servants in the castle were all dark monsters. They looked at Melen and the collector with greed and fear, and Melen didn't care about these minions.

Soon, the two of them, led by a demon with a dim candlelight, came to a huge hall in the dark castle. In the middle of the hall was a bright red carpet, which extended directly from the entrance of the hall to a throne.

On the throne, there was a woman lying in a wide black cloak. Her appearance could not be seen, but her graceful figure could not be concealed. She supported her forehead with one hand and fell into a deep sleep in an extremely seductive posture.

The Collector nodded slightly to Mellen, and the two of them slowly walked to the throne.

It was not until then that the woman seemed to wake up from a deep sleep. She floated up smoothly, and the words she spoke were as clear and pleasant as a lark, with a hint of mature charm that was tempting and imaginative.

"Young Master Zhan, this is the helper you found for me? A little legend?"

The collector frowned. He didn't like the title of 'Young Master of the Zhan Family' very much. It made him feel that all his efforts had been in vain.

Although the collector's current status and power are indeed due to this identity factor, anyone who has seen his hard work all the way understands that this identity is just an embellishment. Even without this identity, he can still climb to his current position, but it may take a little longer.

The Collector quickly calmed himself down and was about to explain when he heard the woman on the throne chuckle. The next moment, endless darkness enveloped the world.

The Collector suddenly shut up.

The power of darkness was like a feminine and dirty stream, eroding the sky and earth inch by inch and spreading towards Melen.

Realizing that it was time for the weighing phase again, Melen chuckled, and a bloody light filled with extreme ferocity broke through the darkness and headed towards the woman on the throne.

Almost instantly, the darkness was forcibly dispelled, and the world turned blood-red. In the hazy blood-red light, a pair of blood-red eyes that were enough to make any living being instinctively tremble with fear stared at the woman on the throne.

The woman on the throne first let out a sound of surprise, then exclaimed, "Is this, is this the legendary...?"

The power of the Dark Castle pierces the bloody world, and the two are entangled.

Another sacred halo also rose from Mellen's body, protecting him.

Then, the woman on the throne did something that caught Meren and the Collector off guard.

She came down from the throne, her crystal-clear jade feet stepped on the bright red carpet, and she walked towards Xiao Honglian step by step.

During this process, even though the power of Little Red Lotus tore her black robe apart, revealing her beautiful face, and leaving numerous scars on her body, she still ignored it.

The woman focused all her attention on Xiao Honglian, her eyes full of intoxication and fanaticism, and she was muttering something to herself.

Even Xiao Honglian was a little scared by this scene, and kept asking Melen...

Master, Master, can I eat her?! Can I? Can I?! Can I?! !

Chapter 394: Destined Fate? The Lord of Darkness

"enough!"

Melen shouted in a deep voice, and the impact of the power of Shinto spread out, awakening the woman who was in a confused state.

To be honest, seeing the woman like this, Melen had some different thoughts in his mind. After all, Melen was not a child. Completing the task and getting the reward was not as satisfying as saying "I want them all".

But this idea only flashed through Mellen's mind for a moment before he gave it up.

Not to mention the existence of the Dark Castle, even if the woman seemed to be in a confused state, it would be unlikely for Mellen to solve her problem in one fell swoop. The only reason he had the opportunity to accept this task was because of the relationship between the collector and the Baisha Chamber of Commerce. If he really did something out of line, it would be embarrassing for both parties, and Mellen could not let his friend fall into such an embarrassing and passive situation.

The woman glanced at Xiao Honglian reluctantly, then turned her gaze to Melen, her expression somewhat puzzled and disgusted. She muttered to herself, "The power of Holy Light? No, it's just that the properties are somewhat similar, but the essence is completely different."

At this moment, the disgust in the woman's eyes faded and disappeared. She turned calmly and floated towards the throne. In the process, she stretched out her right hand into the void, and a cloak woven by the power of darkness appeared in her hand, which she put on.

After returning to the throne, the woman chuckled and said, "You actually have the guts to cultivate 'Rebellion in the Endless Sea of Blood', and it has already reached the first critical point. Little friend, you are very impressive."

Mellen frowned and asked, "What is the 'first critical point'?"

The woman uttered a sigh, and seeing that Mellen's expression didn't seem fake, she couldn't help but sneer, "So you're just a clueless brat? You've really been blessed to have made it this far!"

Mellen looked calm and showed no expression.

Fortunately, the woman didn't keep the secret and began to explain, "The Endless Blood Sea is an unimaginably great existence. The life forms of the Blood Sea are difficult to provoke even in the entire starry universe, and they occupy a vast area."

The woman let out a half-smile. "Such a majestic being, such a powerful force, do you really think He would leave behind a huge flaw that could overthrow Him? You don't really think that one day you will be able to..."

"Replace it?!"

Mellen's eyes twitched slightly, but he still didn't say anything.

The woman seemed to be feeling somewhat bored, so she stopped teasing Mellen and said, "The so-called rebellion of the Endless Blood Sea is nothing more than a means for the Endless Blood Sea to enrich its own system."

"If it were a normal Blood Sea creature, it would only be able to follow the path that the Endless Blood Sea has taken. All Blood Sea creatures are like cast from the same mold. In this case, no matter how powerful its subordinates are, they will not be able to bring any benefits to the Endless Blood Sea."

"As for the so-called rebels of the Endless Blood Sea, those blood sea creatures that, while still walking the path of blood, have escaped the barriers of the Endless Blood Sea. Once these blood sea creatures grow and develop, and bear their own fruits, the Endless Blood Sea will come to reap them."

"The so-called first critical point is the node where the rebellion of the Endless Sea of Blood becomes a Saint and condenses its own unique blood fruit. Obviously, the one in your hand has met the requirements."

After hearing what the woman said, Melen fell silent. Actually, he was not completely unaware of it.

As his strength grew, Melen increasingly sensed the insurmountable chasms between each rank. A fourth-tier legend, newly entering the transcendent realm, was merely an individual, while a fifth-tier saint was a world away. What about a sixth-tier demigod? A seventh-tier myth? And what of the landscapes afforded to beings even above myth?

Such a majestic existence has such obvious loopholes, which is a bit too frivolous no matter how you think about it.

However, if all of this was done intentionally by the Endless Sea of Blood in order to continuously reap the blood fruits different from its own that were condensed by these rebels, and thereby continuously expand itself, then everything would make sense.

The woman looked at Xiao Honglian with interest and asked, "So, when did you, a life form in the sea of blood, condense the blood fruit?"

Mellen didn't answer, but continued to ask: "What will happen at the first critical point?"

"What an impolite brat," the woman muttered, but she still chose to explain patiently, "When a rebel condenses a different blood fruit, it will automatically be sensed by the Endless Sea of Blood. Of course, because you are too weak, and due to a series of factors such as distance, the Endless Sea of Blood can only roughly sense the basic status of this blood fruit, such as whether it is useful to you, whether it has higher growth potential, etc."

"Next, it's hunting and...feeding!"

"Hunting and feeding?" Melen repeated to himself, as if he had realized something.

The woman chuckled and said, "Indeed, while the Endless Blood Sea's rebelliousness is extremely restraining to the Blood Sea's life, the principle of ants biting elephants is universal no matter where they are. At the first critical point, the Endless Blood Sea will, based on its own induction, send out three to five Blood Sea Saints to hunt down the unripe 'fruit'. If these Blood Sea Saints kill this unripe 'fruit', then the situation will naturally be resolved. On the other hand, if they win, they can use the Blood Sea Saints as nourishment to further cultivate the 'fruit'. This is what we call feeding."

Mellen pondered for a moment and asked, "What kind of strength is needed to trigger the second critical point? Since it's a critical point, it will naturally be triggered when the strength reaches a certain level. If my pet no longer improves its strength, will it never trigger the second critical point?"

The woman said sarcastically, "Trying to delay your destined fate by escaping? What do you think a mythical being is? They are magnificent! Immortal! Eternal! A hundred years and a million years are nothing in the eyes of such beings."

"You're right. If you stop improving your strength, the Endless Blood Sea will naturally stop paying attention to you. But so what? The Endless Blood Sea controls the blood laws of the entire starry universe. When your pet dies, its 'fruit' will naturally return to the Endless Blood Sea!"

"This is your fate, a fate that was destined from the day it was born!"

Melen ignored the woman's ridicule and asked again, "What's the strength to trigger the second critical point?"

The woman smiled but said nothing.

After a moment's silence, Mellen said, "You've explained so much to me. You must have another purpose, right? Tell me."

The woman said seriously, "Although the fate of the rebels in the Endless Sea of Blood is already determined, there are still three ways to escape this tragic fate..."

"The first one, which is also well-known, is that as long as one is strong enough, one can overturn the current Endless Sea of Blood and replace it."

“Well, this method is the hardest!”

At this point, the woman could no longer hold back her laughter.

"The second option is relatively simple, and that is complete submission. As long as you can demonstrate sufficient value and loyalty, the Endless Sea of Blood might just pick the 'fruit' once it matures and reintegrate you into the Blood Sea order."

Having said that, the woman stopped talking again. She seemed to be more interested in teasing Mellen.

Seeing this, Mellen had to ask aloud: "What about the third method?"

The woman then smiled and said, "The third method is the simplest. As long as you can obtain the protection of a great being that is no less powerful than the Endless Sea of Blood, all problems will naturally be solved."

At this time, the woman's true intentions were finally revealed. Her figure slowly floated up, and her dark cloak spread outward, as if opening a deep portal. A sacred, evil, majestic, and vast aura flowed out from it. Both Melen and the Collector had an urge to kneel down devoutly.

"I am the Dark Witch Lisya, a humble servant of the Lord of Darkness. Young man, believe in the Lord of Darkness! In this way, you will gain everything!"

In addition to being majestic, Lisa's words also carried a strong sense of temptation.

At this moment, the badge of the Baisha Chamber of Commerce on the collector's chest flashed slightly, and a faint but tenacious light enveloped him, driving away the influence of the dark aura.

This is the myth behind the Baisha Chamber of Commerce, protecting its subordinates.

The collector looked at Mellen with some concern. The woman's behavior at this time had undoubtedly violated the rules of the Baisha Chamber of Commerce, but he had heard what she said before and understood what Mellen was about to face, so he did not activate the power of the badge to terminate the transaction, but let Mellen make his own choice.

Nasus's divine power immediately surrounded Melen, and at the same time, the power of the soul was continuously injected into Melen's body to help him fight against the invasion of dark forces.

At the same time, Melen could feel that the wolf-shaped pendant seemed to be doing something, most likely to cover up for him, but because of his strength, he couldn't see clearly.

Mellen hesitated for a moment and said, "I need some time to think about it."
