This surprised Enzo.

The information about the Deer Hunters Organization was surprisingly elusive.

However, there were other matters to attend to, and continuing to waste time investigating wasn't a wise choice.

With that thought, Enzo instructed, "Forget about looking into the Deer Hunters Organization for now. As long as they don't interfere, it's fine. I have a feeling they will appear soon enough. Also, send some people to investigate Curtis's movements."

"Understood!"

Xavior took the order and then left.

Meanwhile.

The territory where the Solar Dynasty was located.

In the treehouse at the deepest part of the canyon, the First Leader Kladno of the Solar Dynasty was personally drawing a map. The map marked the various tributaries of the Blue Agate River and included some special points that seemed to be habitats of supernatural beings with rare bloodlines.

At that moment, a voice called from outside the door.

"Lord Father, I'm back."

Trelina's voice rang out.

Hearing Trelina, Kladno opened the door and welcomed her in, asking, "What news from the Ice Moon Royal Family?"

Trelina replied, "The Ice Moon Royal Family has agreed to a ceasefire."

This outcome was anticipated by Kladno.

A sarcastic smile appeared on his face as he said, "With Moon Tide gone, the Ice Moon Royal Family has no reason to continue the war. Besides, continuing the fight would only lead to their eventual downfall, a consequence they cannot afford.

However, the reason for the Ice Moon Royal Family's ceasefire isn't just that."

Trelina's face showed confusion.

Kladno smiled, looking at Trelina with a tender gaze from his murky eyes. He explained, "You now have the capability to stand on your own. It's time for you to learn about the origins of the major royal families of Dark Night Forest."

"The origins of the royal families? Aren't the major royal families simply inherited from generation to generation?" Trelina countered.

Kladno nodded and said, "Indeed, the royal families have grown and developed over generations. But initially, they were just small tribes looking up to the ancient royal families. Back then, the royal families were like weak animals, easily devoured by supernatural beings.

It wasn't until a certain person appeared that things began to change for Dark Night Forest."

Trelina asked curiously, "Who?"

Kladno seemed to reminisce before finally naming the figure. "Rexfit, known as the Beast God. He was a local of Dark Night Forest."

Trelina had heard of Rexfit before.

But this time, it was clearly different. Her father was recounting stories she had never heard, and these were clearly very secretive and deliberately hidden.

Kladno continued, "Long ago, Rexfit was just an ordinary man, born into a weak tribe and living a life of hardship, until he embarked on the path of the supernatural."

"However, Rexfit's talent was not exceptional."

"Indeed, it was quite ordinary."

"His path in the supernatural realm was fraught with difficulties, and he faced several life-threatening crises. But his will was formidable, pulling him out of each low point…"

Hearing this, Trelina frowned.

She instinctively countered, "Father, that's impossible. Rexfit is the only confirmed deity; how could his talent be so mediocre? Also, Rexfit wasn't human. How could he have been born in a human tribe?

Could it be that you're mistaken?"

Kladno smiled and said, "Trelina, that's the point."

He continued, "One should never take things at face value or blindly trust what others say. Especially with critical information, you must see and hear it yourself before making a final decision. Otherwise, hasty judgments could put the entire royal family at risk."

"Also, listen carefully and don't interrupt!"

Kladno continued, "When Rexfit's lifespan was nearing its end, he was fortunate enough to acquire a supernatural Trial Crystal. With this supernatural Trial Crystal, Rexfit participated in the supernatural trial.

No one knows what he encountered during the trial, but after it ended, he possessed a deity's bloodline."

"With the deity's bloodline, Rexfit rapidly grew stronger and, in a short time, established a powerful faction."

"This disrupted the order of the Dark Night Forest, with new powers emerging and old ones fading away."

"However, for reasons unknown, Rexfit disappeared for a period. Not long after, news of his death surfaced and was confirmed. Without Rexfit's suppression, the Dark Night Forest fell into chaos, with many fighting over his remaining treasures and forming their own factions."

"In this turmoil, the first royal family emerged."

"The Solar Dynasty obtained a secret technique left by Rexfit."

"This technique has no name, but once understood, it allows one to draw upon the powerful bloodline strengths of other races, integrating them into one's own bloodline to gain incredibly powerful bloodline talents."

"Maybe you'll also have a deity's bloodline like Rexfit."

Kladno's description stirred Trelina's emotions, but she quickly had a question—given that beings with powerful bloodlines are inherently strong, how could one obtain so many bloodlines?

And what was the purpose?

From these words, Trelina could foresee that there was likely a deeper purpose behind it, and the cost would be extremely high.

Yet, her father seemed unwilling to tell her more.

At that moment, Kladno handed her an ancient beast skin, which detailed the secret technique for bloodline fusion. He continued, "Trelina, you need to stop your current work and focus entirely on understanding this technique. Make sure to master it before the supernatural trial begins.

Only then will you be able to gain more once you enter the supernatural trial!"

"Are you asking me to participate in the supernatural trial?" Trelina said, incredulously.

She knew well how precious the slots for the supernatural trial were. The conflicts in the Dark Night Forest over the years were precisely because of these precious slots.

To think that one of these valuable slots was being given to her?

Considering the overall interests of the Solar Dynasty, Trelina felt this was not a wise decision.

But Kladno clearly did not see it that way.

He said firmly, "Trelina, you are my daughter, so this slot is naturally yours."

"But Father, we may not even be able to take the supernatural Trial Crystal from the Ice Moon Royal Family." Trelina replied with concern.

Kladno, however, smiled meaningfully and said, "No, that supernatural Trial Crystal belongs to the Ice Moon Royal Family, and their Ice Moon Queen is in dire need of it. Otherwise, she wouldn't have rushed to start the war.

Of course, the Ice Moon Royal Family has paid a heavy price to get it this time, as part of the cost for the Solar Dynasty to withdraw."

From her father's words, Trelina quickly realized that the Solar Dynasty already had a supernatural Trial Crystal. The supernatural trial does not limit the number of participants from a single faction, so having more participants means more potential rewards.

Now, with the Solar Dynasty withdrawing from the competition...

Trelina was curious about the price the mysterious Ice Moon Queen had paid.

...

Meanwhile, as Eve returned to the Ice Moon Royal Family, a message spread: the new force at Crimson Lake—the Adventurer's Association—did not intend to start a war.

This news relieved many.

However, in the following days, some strong individuals from various factions went missing. Although this sparked little discussion, as most factions rarely interacted and the number of missing persons was small, it seemed normal—perhaps they were off on some expedition.

Consequently, the Dark Night Forest appeared tranquil.

In contrast, something astonishing was happening at Crimson Lake, unknown to outsiders.

The area was shrouded in crimson mist, obscuring the entire lake and filling the region with a bloody scent. The specially dug channels carried even more intensely red blood-colored water, and gazing at it induced strange murmurs in the mind.

Such eerie phenomena had become routine for the people of Crimson Lake.

At this moment, they were reporting their recent findings to Enzo in the palace.

Erdos laughed first and said, "Lord Enzo, I captured fifteen unfortunate souls. As you instructed, they were exceptionally brutal individuals who had previously slaughtered some small tribes without reason."

"I got eight."

"I have four."

"..."

Everyone reported their captures, and Enzo, seated on his throne, nodded. He tossed a large number of crimson pills into the air, which drew everyone's attention.

"Well done."

Enzo said that, distributing the pills to everyone.

The group eagerly accepted them, quickly consuming the pills and savoring the boost in power.

Meanwhile, Enzo felt a slight enhancement himself.

He sensed that the blood element pattern was stirring, seemingly on the verge of manifesting something significant.

At that moment, a guard outside the palace called out, "Lord Enzo, a person named Harvey is here to see you."
