Please be my partner.

Spike, Garuru, Xiao Liuli, Golden Retriever, Void Dog, Nasus, and the sleeping Little Red Lotus, at this moment, all the dogs under Mellen's command have returned.

Mellen looked at his dogs with a smile on his face, but a sense of decadence gradually emanated from him, like an old man who was about to reach the end of his life.

Everything is ready, next is the time for promotion!

At Mellen's gentle call, the little red lotus sleeping in his blood slowly opened its eyes.

Wisps of blood mist floated out, condensing into the shape of a little red dog. Xiao Honglian yawned a little confusedly at first, shook his body, and then pounced towards Mellen happily, sticking to his face and rubbing it continuously.

Mellen showed a gentle smile on his face and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Xiao Honglian immediately shook her head like a drum. Looking at her master's pale and weak face, she couldn't help feeling distressed and self-blame.

He gently tapped Xiao Honglian's eyebrows, and the dog floated up and landed on an open space not far away. The other dogs also lined up in a circle, surrounding Mellen in the center, naturally forming a ritual.

The colors between heaven and earth gradually faded, and then matter and space, leaving only dark nothingness, and Mellen and his dogs.

Rays of light shone from the dogs and connected with Mellen.

At this moment, Melen was stronger than ever; at this moment, Melen was weaker than ever.

Endless energy spread wantonly in the void, trying to paint the world into a whole new color. Fine cracks covered Mellen's body, and through these cracks, one could vaguely see wisps of light surging in his body.

If you change to a more microscopic perspective, you can see that every tiny particle in Mellen's body is breaking and shattering, and then reorganizing and being reborn.

Will, blood, dimension, space, illusion, reality, flow, void, erosion, soul...

Countless complex forces and rules flow, intertwine, oppose, and merge in Mellen's body and soul, like countless constantly intersecting "lines", and finally gather into an invisible, intangible, formless, and unintentional collection.

It represents the beginning and also runs through the end.

Full of holiness and greatness!

This is a power that is completely above all mortals. Although it is only a wisp that seems illusory, it represents that life has entered the most critical stage...demigod!

If it is said that saints are 'closer to God, farther away from people', then they begin to create a clear gap between themselves and before in their extraordinary journey.

Then the demigod is the one who 'opened the ladder to godhood', and is the beginning of all mortals truly moving towards greatness and entering eternity!

There were no surprises in the promotion process because Mellen was so well prepared.

When Melen opened his eyes again, he still saw the Taiyue Mountain, but his perspective had changed drastically.

The ocean of rules spread out calmly before him. As he walked slowly, every step he took created faint ripples. His sight traced back along a certain river of rules, and he could vaguely perceive shadows of varying sizes appearing in some areas. These shadows represented saints or demigods who were absorbing the power of rules.

Continuing to trace back, you can see that there are majestic beings entrenched at the source of the regular river. If you concentrate your attention, you can even see some appearances of these majestic beings, which is a world of difference from the vague perception that can only be made at the saint stage.

His vision gradually recovered, and Mellen stood up and stretched. He felt that all his illnesses were gone, and his body and mind were more relaxed than ever before. Through the connection of the contract, the power of the dogs slowly flowed into his body. This was no longer a burden, but an endless sublimation.

"Woo woof!~"

Little Honglian was very happy and kept jumping around Mellen happily.

The other dogs also gathered around. Melen had been troubled by the imbalance during this period, and the dogs were extremely worried and made a lot of efforts for this. Melen naturally saw all of this.

Now that the problem is solved, it’s time to have some fun!

But before that, there is one more thing that needs to be done first.

Melen looked at Xiao Honglian and chuckled, "He truly is a mythical powerhouse. He shouldn't be underestimated!"

The next moment, the sky spun and the earth spun, and Melen entered Xiao Honglian's blood prison world and came to the cage where the God of Blood was imprisoned.

In the huge blood-colored crystal, the God of Blood was like a bug frozen in amber, still retaining the appearance it had at the last moment before being sealed.

Little Honglian appeared beside Mellen. She was a little confused at first, but then became serious. She looked at the sealed God of Blood, and a fierce look appeared on her little face.

Melen stretched out his hand, and the power of the entire Blood Prison World was at his disposal, pouring into the blood-colored crystal.

Bloody and twisted runes suddenly lit up on the blood-colored crystal. These runes only occupied about one-tenth of the area of the blood-colored crystal. Because they were extremely obscure and used the power of blood that had been assimilated by the Blood Prison World, and because Little Red Lotus had been in a dormant state before, they were concealed.

At this moment, these bloody runes quickly faded and disappeared under the power of the Blood Hell World, and were wiped out one by one.

Seeing that all his long and painstaking preparations had gone to waste, the Blood God dropped his pretense, a look of resentment on his face as he said, "You blasphemers, how dare you dream of sealing the myth? Just wait, it won't be long before I break the seal, and everything you have will be mine! I will rip out your souls and soak them in the filthy bloody mud for tens of millions of years!!"

Neither Mellen nor Xiao Honglian were moved by the threat of the God of Blood. To them, it was just the ravings of a prisoner.

However, to be on the safe side, Mellen not only used the power of the Blood Prison World to re-reinforce the original seal, but also introduced the power of Spike and Golden Hair under the calculation of Nasus and Xiaoyin's split, and set up the second and third seals.

The power of the triple seal is intertwined with each other. Even if the God of Blood Clan has a way to break the seal again, it will probably take at least several hundred years.

After such a long time, the God of Blood Clan has been digested by the Blood Prison World without leaving any residue!

After seven or eight days of hard work, we finally solved this hidden danger.

What follows is all kinds of revelry and noise.

On a mountaintop thousands of miles away, Shi Zhongxian looked at the Taiyue Mountain in the distance and sighed from time to time.

In Shi Zhongxian's opinion, he was at home trying to understand the rules of the sacred mountain and practicing with peace of mind, but suddenly a large group of people broke in and started fighting to the death. Especially at the end, a group of semi-immortal warriors died or fled, and even a peak semi-immortal warrior died and two were seriously injured. He was so scared that he moved overnight.

Now, so many days have passed, relying on the connection with Taiyue Divine Mountain, Shi Zhongxian can still feel that the previous group has not left. Although he also understands that the latter are the ones who were attacked, but...

It’s really scary!

More than ten days later, the entertainment ended and Melen began to return to normal.

Melen was playing with the two origins of the Mountain and Sea Realm in his hands. One was the reward given to him by the Immortal Changsheng, and the other was extracted from Xiao Liuli by Xiao Honglian using the power of mythology.

For the people of the Mountain and Sea Realm, the origin of the Mountain and Sea Realm is absolute hard currency that can be exchanged for many precious resources.

However, with Mellen's current wealth and strength, ordinary resources are of no use to him. However, the origin of the Mountain and Sea Realm may come in handy in the future if left behind.

Then, Melen took out another item, a fist-sized crystal sphere, which contained the sleeping Prince Peng.

His Highness Peng is a powerful semi-immortal, and coupled with his own bloodline, he holds a very high status in the Pengtian clan, which can be proved by the immortal Changsheng.

After Melen told Changshengxian that he had Prince Peng in his hands, the latter immediately expressed his willingness to pay a high price to redeem him.

Melen understood Changshengxian's ambition to some extent, so he was not surprised by Changshengxian's attitude.

No matter how much it costs Changshengxian to redeem His Highness Peng, he can get it back several times the amount from the Pengtian clan.

In addition, because Nasus was only one step away from transformation, Melen also conducted a bloodline exploration for his dog and obtained the final key step... He needed to be baptized at the place where the rules intersected.

Nasus is the [Spirit of Rules], so it is natural that he needs to be baptized at the place where the rules intersect when evolving. The key is that this is a bit difficult for Mellen.

In Mellen's understanding, the place where rules converge is actually not difficult to find. It is the sea of rules. It is not only the place where rules converge, but it is also the source of the birth of thousands of rules!

Normally, only truly powerful mythical beings can enter it. If anything enters, it will be directly assimilated by the endless rules.

Even the [Spirit of Rules] is not immune to this, so if Nasus wants to complete his evolution, he may need to find another way.

Now, the only ones who have not achieved the [Golden Sacred] are Garuru, Xiao Liuli, Nasus and Void Dog.

Nasus put it aside for now.

The Void Dog can wait until the new biological fortress is completed before going to the Endless Void again, but this time Melen needs to be more thoroughly prepared.

There is no need to talk about Garuru. Although it already has a complete evolutionary path, the conditions are too difficult to achieve.

As for Xiao Liuli, Melen also has some ideas, but they are not mature yet. He has to wait until the little fox reaches the peak of demigod.

In addition, after advancing to the demigod stage, Melen the mortal [Wolf Tamer] has two more contract slots, and if nothing unexpected happens, these should be the last two dogs that can be contracted, at least in the mortal stage. Whether there will be new changes in the mythical stage, Melen cannot predict it now, and can only wait and see.

Melen also had some ideas about the last two dogs. One of them was naturally the time system that he had always been thinking about, and the other one, Melen placed on Senlang.

Forest Wolf is a dog with special abilities that Melen obtained when he formed a dog army in the spirit world. It can coexist with a plant, thus sharing each other's talents and powers.

Speaking of which, the forest wolves themselves are not a race with strong talents, but if the symbiotic plants are strong, they will naturally become stronger, just like the forest wolf that occupies an entire area in the spiritual world.

After Melen obtained the forest wolf, he let it fuse with a sacred tree sapling obtained in the Tuonan Realm. This sacred tree sapling was vaguely related to a sacred tree forest in the higher-dimensional world.

Melen felt that perhaps the forest wolf that had merged with the sapling of the sacred tree could bring him a different surprise.

Now, relying on the power of the sapling of the sacred tree, Senlang took root in each world to absorb strength and rules. In just a short period of time, he completed himself and grew to the same height as the sapling of the sacred tree, but his improvement gradually slowed down afterwards.

Of course, this 'gradual slowdown' only applies to the forest wolves and the sacred tree seedlings. If the speed at which their strength increases were told to others, it would definitely scare people to death!

The above is just Mellen’s preliminary estimate. As to whether there will be any changes, we will have to wait and see.

After successfully completing the transaction with Changshengxian, Melen left the Mountain and Sea Realm.

With just a flash of blood, Melen and the dogs arrived outside the Mountain and Sea Realm community.

While Little Red Lotus was having fun, Garuru looked at her with caution, feeling that his position as the 'number one mount' might be unstable.

Ignoring the interactions of the dogs, Melen decided to seriously participate in the Council of Beasts for once.

Because of the imbalance he suffered before, Melen was basically in a "half-hang" state when he participated in the Council of Beasts. He just listened briefly and rarely spoke.

When the time came, with the pull of an unknown force, Melen's thoughts quickly went towards the Council of Beasts. Unlike the previous times when he arrived in a flash, this time Melen could clearly feel that time and space were gradually moving away, and even the familiar rules were slowly fading away.

At this moment, a strange thought arose in Mellen's mind...

Could it be that the Council of Beasts isn't in the starry universe?!

Chapter 539: The Mysterious Wizard Part and the Ancient Land of Exile

Council of Beasts.

Mellen's eyes wandered, and everything he looked at seemed new and interesting.

As the members arrived one by one, the Council of Beasts officially began.

The cat immediately noticed something was wrong with Mellen. After observing him for a moment, he said in surprise, "Little Wolf, you look very energetic today!"

Melen smiled slightly, but before he could say anything, he heard Long say calmly, "Wolf, you have been promoted to demigod."

“Wow!~”

"what?!"

"So fast!!"

"..."

Under the astonished gazes of the other members, Mellen didn't intend to hide it and generously admitted, "Yes, I just made a breakthrough not long ago."

The cat's eyes lit up, and he asked curiously, "Little Wolf, your puppies all look very capable. Which one do you plan to establish a closer bond with?"

No matter which path you take, the further you go, the more exclusive it becomes. Once you reach the mythological level, it is almost impossible to merge two different mythological powers. Therefore, for the members of the Council of Beasts, whether it is Melen or themselves, after becoming demigods, they must start making choices and decide the main path to take in the future.

At this moment, perhaps due to some preconceived ideas, Long Mingming did not make any movement, but Melen seemed to vaguely feel that he showed unusual attention to this issue.

Mellen didn't make any unnecessary movements, but he looked a little distressed. In fact, he was very distressed. He said, "I haven't made up my mind yet. The rules and power mastered by the dogs are quite powerful, which makes it difficult for me to choose."

Melen looked at Long and asked sincerely, "Long, do you have any suggestions?"

After a brief pause, Long said, "As for the companions I met last time, one of them had a very special life form, seemingly related to space and dimension, and another seemed to be on the path of the soul. They are all very good."

"Also, that companion with a surging fighting spirit also has great potential, but if you continue down this path, you might come into conflict with the God of War. You should consider this carefully."

Melen looked thoughtful and nodded slightly, saying, "Thank you. I need to think about it carefully."

The topic did not end there. The cat continued to chirp and try to give advice to Mellen. The bear, cow, and snake also joined in. Even the eagle spoke occasionally. For them, this also concerned their future.

The dragon watched quietly without saying a word.

After a while, everyone ended their communication and resumed the normal meeting process.

During the free discussion session, Melen asked, "Does anyone know where to find the place where the rules converge? I'm not talking about the sea of rules, but the kind that can be entered."

The cat asked, "Little Wolf, what are you doing in a place like this?"

Melen paused, and without hiding anything, he said, "One of my dogs has reached the critical point of evolution and needs to enter the place where rules intersect for baptism."

"How is it? Any relevant information?"

Facing Mellen's expectant gaze, the cat simply said, "No! I don't know!! I'm not sure!!!"

Mellen curled his lips and muttered, "I don't know why you're asking..."

Niu suddenly said, "If it's a place where rules converge, I know a place that might be able to meet your needs."

Melen showed a look of surprise. He didn't expect to find a clue. He looked at Niu and said seriously, "Thank you very much. This is very important to me. I owe you a favor. If you need any information, resources, or treasures, please feel free to ask for them."

Niu smiled gently and said, "Even if you owe me a small favor, this information is not a secret and will probably spread soon."

Niu sorted out his thoughts and continued, "Do you still remember the mysterious wizard we discussed before?"

The corners of Mellen's mouth twitched unconsciously and he nodded slightly.

At this time, the gossiping hearts of the others also came up, especially the cat, whose eyes became bright and shining when they looked at the cow.

"This incident is also related to the mysterious wizard. The reason he disappeared during this period is because he went to the ancient land of exile."
