His voice became gloomy as he said, ’The combination of these two things is why Monarch Golden Lion herself would have to start from rank 6 if she reincarnated and retook her rank 7 Divine Metacs and her Divine Position. If that can happen, then it is to be expected that I wouldn’t gain anything by taking her place.’
’In fact, I truly didn’t gain anything from taking her place when her Divine Position entered the core of my Cave Heaven and fused with the Golden Lion Strength Metac. I just didn’t want to accept it.’
Then he sighed and said to himself, ’If that won’t work, it seems I have only two options left. Either I advance to rank 7 on my own, or I eat the heart of a medium world.’
That second option made him nod to himself as he thought, ’If the heart of a medium world can support a rank 7 world king, then it should be able to help me advance to a rank 7. Since I already know where a medium world is, this will be easy to verify.’
He had once eaten the heart of a medium world. In fact, it was that very heart that he used to form his Cave Heaven the first time he did so.
But at that time, the heart of the world was near death and was dying. The heart had even dropped out of the core of the world, so its state was less than intact.
Fortunately, he can rectify that problem and give the devouring of the heart of a medium world another try. This time, the heart will be intact and in pristine condition.
When he thought of where the medium world was, he smiled as he said to himself, ’Of course, it will be troublesome to get to. But a little trouble has yet to stop me. If I can use the Golden Lion Strength to ascend right in front of everyone, I’m sure I can manage this.’
The quest to eat the heart of a medium world became the second goal he plans to achieve in this timeline or future timeline. If it doesn’t work, he will go back to completing the mission on Oceania.
These two things, the devouring of the heart of a medium world and the earning of enough divine merit points to advance to rank 7, are subsets of the goal to advance Fenrir to rank 7. The quest to advance Fenrir to rank 7 is, in turn, a subset of the goal to grow stronger.
Becoming stronger to achieve freedom is his ultimate goal. Beneath that are other goals, such as finding a way to reveal some of his power without getting into trouble.
As he was making plans to achieve these goals, Muni woke up. So he had Muni take him to the sect outpost for registration.
After he became an elder of the sect, he left the Blessed Heaven World. This is not what he usually does after restarting a timeline.
Usually, the first thing he would do is bait Gold Body to appear. Then he would kill Gold Body and take the Divine Position of Gold Body for himself.
However, he is doing things a little differently this time around. His first objective isn’t Gold Body, this time. The first thing he wants to acquire is all the small worlds he knows about.
The small worlds include the one he gained from Lady Red, the one from Hammock, the one with the Viper World King that he made, the four small worlds that he found from the divine constellation in relation to rank 5 cultivators, and the four small worlds that the Thorn House of Commerce used to pay him to back off in the previous timelines.
He took the seven small worlds before going over to the four small worlds under the control of the Thorn House of Commerce. Just as he had expected, there was someone in charge of protecting the small worlds.
This person was Monarch Debt Collector. She was a female divine being. Her Divine Metacs makes her stronger against people who owe debts in various ways. She could even cripple a target’s strength based on the amount of debt that they carry.
He didn’t owe anyone any debt at the moment, so her Divine Metac was ineffective against him. So she called for reinforcements.
Her reinforcement didn’t change anything, though. Loki did the same thing he did to Forced Exchange to force them to back down and give up.
The only difference was that he couldn’t use the divine constellation to inquire about them. But he did beat them within inches of death.
At the end of the day, both sides came to a truce. Loki was allowed to take the small world he attacked, and he would be given four more small worlds. In exchange, they wouldn’t attack each other for a year., including using the divine constellation to investigate each other.
If not for the fact that he suspected that they were using the negotiation to delay him so that Money Body could come to beat him up, he would have refused to back down and fleece them more.
The two rank 6 divine beings couldn’t hurt him faster than he could make them lose their lifespan, but he was sure that the opposite would be the case with Money Body.
If Money Body were to come to beat him up, in his current state, he would lose his lifespan faster than Money Body would. There is also the fact that his attempt to pressure his enemies with investigations won’t work well on Money Body because Money Body is rank 8 and will only have to spend 1% of the lifespan needed to block him.
So he didn’t let his greed make him go too far. He got what he could get. Then he called it a day.
The two parties separated after they made the deal. The two divine beings of the House of Commerce went away and left him alone with the small world. This gave him the space and time to assimilate the small world.
