Guardian Rou, resembling a mountain of flesh, and Guardian Lei, an elderly man in a suit, quietly faced each other. One was all smiles, the other expressionless; as their gazes met and clashed, sparks seemed to fly. After a long moment, the smile on Guardian Rou's face gradually faded.

Despite his mountainous, bulky figure, his movements possessed an incongruous agility and grace, like a feather drifting into the opened stone doorway. His gait seemed to embody some profound Light Body Step Skill.

A stout and robust figure appeared silently. The man was only 1.7 meters tall, his muscles incredibly solid. From his neck to his cheeks, he was covered with dense serpentine scales, and even his eyes resembled a snake's. The man cast a sinister glance at Guardian Lei, Bear Guardian, and Guardian Zhu, then followed Guardian Rou into the stone door.

After those two went in, Guardian Lei's imposing aura slightly diminished. He said softly, "Let's go."

He then started walking towards the stone door. Bear Guardian and Guardian Zhu followed, their expressions stern and silent.

The five of them entered the stone door one after another.

Beyond the door lay a grand hall. Braziers burned on the walls on all four sides, the flickering flames casting the shadows of several people onto the ground.

Their eyes casually swept over familiar faces: Guardian Xiang, Guard Ying, and a horse-faced middle-aged man. Finally, their gazes locked onto the person seated on the Evil Emperor's throne high above.

He appeared to be a young man of just eighteen or nineteen years. His physique was slender and well-proportioned, his features exceptionally handsome. The young man's hand rested lightly on the throne's armrest, his other hand propping up his chin. His back leaned against the black, sun-patterned inscription of the characters "War God." From his high vantage point, he regarded them with an expression of keen interest, exuding an innate aura of mystery and nobility.

Guardian Rou's lips twitched, but he didn't utter a word.

Guardian Lei merely glanced at the young man on the throne before quickly looking away, his expression one of indifferent disregard.

As for Bear Guardian and the others, they crossed their arms and sneered, as if witnessing something utterly ridiculous.

"I didn't expect you all to arrive so promptly; we are truly flattered," Guard Ying said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes, as if he wasn't the one who had deliberately kept the main door shut just moments before.

"Cut the crap." Bear Guardian glanced at the impassive Guardian Lei, then stepped forward and slammed his palm on the stone table. "You three said you found the Evil Emperor's treasure, didn't you?" he demanded impatiently. "Out with the clues so everyone can take a look."

"Given your attitude, Bear Guardian," Guard Ying stated coolly, "we're not particularly inclined to discuss the treasure."

"Then what kind of attitude do you think I should have?" Bear Guardian shot back, a ferocious grin spreading across his face as his eyes glinted with cruelty and violence. "Guard Ying, surely you don't believe that just because you possess the clues to the treasure, everyone should listen to your arrangements and commands?"

At this moment, the pale-faced Guardian Zhu slowly spoke: "The clues to the treasure were left behind by the Evil Emperor before last after he obtained them. With that Evil Emperor's fall, these clues naturally belong to everyone in the God Alliance. Since you three Guardians discovered the clues and were willing to announce them within the Alliance, everyone naturally appreciates your contribution. However, if someone intends to use these treasure clues as leverage to coerce everyone..." Guardian Zhu narrowed his eyes, a smirk playing on his lips. "Then it would inevitably make people feel disheartened."

When Guardian Zhu finished speaking, the expressions of Guard Ying and the horse-faced middle-aged man instantly darkened. In contrast, Guardian Rou, who stood nearby, clapped his hands with a beaming smile. "Little Spider spoke well!" Guardian Rou exclaimed, his face alight with amusement. "That's exactly right! The Evil Emperor's treasure is such a massive affair; even with my huge appetite, I can't possibly devour it all... And you three are so small, so skinny..."

Guardian Rou extended a small, plump finger, as thick as a white radish, and gestured with it, saying dramatically, "You'd better not burst your own bellies. If your hearts, livers, or intestines were to spill out, that would be far too unsightly..."

This blatant threat made the expressions of Guard Ying and the other two turn ugly. But with all the Guardian-level figures present staring at them with cold eyes, they didn't dare to lash out.

"We will naturally bring out and discuss the clues to the Evil Emperor's treasure later..." Guard Ying, struggling to compose himself, slowly began, "The main reason for summoning everyone here this time was to confirm with you all the matter of the next Evil Emperor..."

BOOM!

Before Guard Ying could finish speaking, a loud noise suddenly erupted, interrupting him and drawing everyone's attention.

It turned out that Guardian Rou, who was like a mountain of flesh, had perhaps grown tired from standing for too long. So, he casually pulled over a chair from beside the stone table, intending to sit.

However, the moment he sat down, the chair beneath him shattered into pieces, and he ended up on the floor. His enormous body caused the entire hall to tremble slightly.

This comical scene made everyone present wear peculiar expressions, struggling to suppress their laughter.

However, Guardian Rou's next words wiped the smiles from everyone's faces.

"OUCH, OUCH..." Guardian Rou exaggeratedly feigned an expression of pain from the fall, clutching a large roll of fat on his rear. He complained with a troubled look, "These chairs are too small and flimsy! I can't sit on them at all!"

His gaze swept around the grand hall, as if searching for a more suitable seat.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He pointed a finger, as plump as a white radish, towards the young man seated on the Evil Emperor's throne in the center of the hall, and said with a wide grin, "That spot is good! That's the spot for me to sit..."
