If that were the case, the Northern Army would secure boundless resources for the future.
Alas, what could they do about it?
The Northern Army was after all the Northern Kingâs home.
If Braydon Neal chose to be ruthless, he could easily seal off the 3,000 ruins, allowing entry only to Hansworth disciples.
Yet, such a move would cut off the martial artists of the hundred countries from their means of survival.
However, he couldnât risk such an affront.
Such a decision would incur the wrath of martial artists worldwide, resulting in relentless attacks on the Northern Army.
After an entire afternoon of deliberation, the Global Martial Artist Alliance reached a consensus: they agreed to Braydonâs conditions.

News of this decision quickly reached Preston, where Braydon awaited updates in the Bright Hall.
Upon receiving Dominic Loweâs report, Braydon set aside his meal, his inquiry calm yet focused. âWhich bronze doors have suffered the most damage?â
Dominicâs response was grave. âNearly 90% of the 8th, 11th, and 40th doors have been destroyed.â
The situation appeared dire.
The impending opening of these three doors loomed ominously.
Yet, Braydonâs demeanor shifted, his face brightening with anticipation before he vanished from sight, accompanied by Heather Sage.
In the Star Tower, a fair-skinned small figure radiated unparalleled vitality, each movement exuding the prowess of a divine.
His very blood seemed to command respect.
Trevon Neal had succeeded.
Through cultivation of the Undying Snake Technique, he shed his old self, birthing a new identity.
Trevon slipped into the clothes prepared earlier and called out obediently, âDaddy, Mommy, Uncle Artifact Spirit!â
âIâve condensed a divine pill!â he announced.
Braydon was taken aback.
Trevonâs transformation had propelled her directly into the divine realm.
His tiny frame now produced true essence and formed a divine pillâall thanks to the artifact spiritâs influence.
The artifact spirit expressed satisfaction.
âTrevon didnât inherit the green lotus bloodline but instead possesses the awakened heavenly path bloodline. It has transformed into true essence, creating a divine pill. Through cultivation of the Undying Snake Technique, he has grasped the two chains of order: the path of life and the path of death!â
These were profoundly powerful paths.
Cultivating the Undying Snake Technique allowed one to delve into the mysteries of death and rebirth.
At only three years old, Trevon had inherited her fatherâs remarkable talent, surpassing him in reaching the divine realm.
Above the divine pill lay the two chains of order: black symbolizing death, green representing new lifeâthe essence of the life and death paths.
âYou have reached the divine realm at three years of age, far surpassing my own achievements!â Braydon remarked with a smile.
âTrevonâs inheritance of your talent and bloodline, coupled with cultivation of the Undying Snake Technique and the restoration of his heavenly path bloodline, ensures rapid strength growth before adulthood,â the artifact spirit concluded, casting a meaningful glance at Braydon, hinting at the depth of secrets still concealed within him.
Braydon carried a weighty karmic burden, his heavenly path bloodline yet to awaken.
Despite the artifact spiritâs capability to forcibly trigger Braydonâs bloodline, such intervention seemed unnecessary.
Bloodline cultivators typically experienced awakening naturally when the opportune moment arrived, with forced activation risking harm.
Trevonâs original form disintegrated into ash, dissipating on the spot as Braydon escorted mother and son out of Star Tower.
Upon their emergence, ominous black tribulation clouds loomed overhead, heralding the divine tribulation.
Nine bolts of thunder struck Trevon, leaving him charred yet miraculously unharmed.
Perplexed by the heavenly assault, Braydon grappled with the inexplicable phenomenonâthe unavoidable divine tribulation.
Only Dominic, wide-eyed and stunned, exchanged a bewildered glance with Trevon, now a three-year-old divine.
Amidst the astonishment, Braydon declared, âTomorrow morning, we depart for South Pole Island.â
Having spent the day nurturing Trevonâs cultivation of the Undying Snake Technique, celebration seemed fitting for his accomplishments.
Meanwhile, Judith Neal, not to be overlooked, expressed her discontent.
âTrevon has become a divine, Daddy. I want to become one too.â
Turning to the artifact spirit for insight, Braydon inquired about Judithâs situation, seeking clarity amidst the flurry of events.
Trevon and Judith were twins, both precious children of Braydon.
With the heavenly path bloodline flowing in their veins, it seemed inconceivable for one to outshine the other.
Yet, from an early age, Trevon displayed remarkable talent, while her three-year-old sister remained ordinary.
Moreover, being part of the prestigious Neal family, Judithâs biological lineage should have ensured her exceptional potential.
However, the artifact spirit clarified the situation: Judithâs green lotus bloodline had suppressed her heavenly path bloodline, mirroring Braydonâs own predicament.
To unlock Judithâs full potential, the green lotus bloodline needed awakening and the associated restriction lifted.
Nonetheless, the artifact spirit hinted that Judithâs heavenly path bloodline might not match Trevonâs due to her motherâs less prominent lineage.
The disparity in talent between the siblings was evident.
As Judithâs mother, Heatherâs modest talent contributed to her daughterâs lesser potential.
âIâll protect my sister from now on!â declared Trevon earnestly.
âAs her brother, itâs your duty to ensure her safety. You canât let anyone bully her,â Braydon affirmed, gently patting his sonâs head.
Trevon nodded solemnly, committed to upholding his fatherâs directive.
Meanwhile, Dominic, muttering to himself, relayed the situation to Martial Emperor Yanagi and others, leaving even the Martial Emperor astonished at the revelation of Trevonâs attainment of the divine realm.
With two divine realm experts in Braydonâs family, the night descended upon the manor in an unusually tranquil manner, akin to a haven amidst the cityâs hustle and bustle, its surrounding perimeter tightly secured under martial law.
The Northern Armyâs hidden agents lurked in the shadows, their influence pervasive.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Following the 16th ruinâs ordeal, survivors from the Northern Army reached the pinnacle of their abilities, with some even ascending to the emperor realm.
If not for the ruinâs catastrophe, the Northern Army would have reigned supreme atop the worldâs hierarchy, its dominance unassailable.
Yet, Braydon harbored no ambition for world conquest; his sole aim was safeguarding Hansworthâs billion-strong populace.
While outsiders might vilify Braydon as the Demon King, none of the Hansworth disciples dared disrespect him.
Braydon was a man of the people, who, in his youth, openly challenged aristocratic families, enforced stringent martial art examinations, subdued neighboring nations, and fortified the borders.
Todayâs Hansworth populace flourished like dragons, fulfilling the ancestral dreams of prosperity.
The following morning, as Braydon gazed at Heather sleeping peacefully, a pang of longing gripped him.
However, duty beckoned, signaling his departure.
âTake good care of Trevon and Judith. Visit Grandma when you can,â he whispered to Heather, mindful not to disturb her slumber.
Heather, feigning sleep, battled the ache of separation, unwilling to bid Braydon farewell.
Meanwhile, their children slept soundly nearby.
Braydon departed silently, met at the manorâs entrance by the patiently waiting Dominic.
âNorthern King, itâs time,â Dominic said respectfully, his demeanor distant.
Braydonâs soft reply held authority. âRemain at the manor. South Pole Island is perilous; even emperors struggle to safeguard themselves. Enjoy your twilight years in peace.â
With Braydonâs directive, none dared make things difficult for Dominic.
