Night fell in Aquazyl once more, leading to the rise of civilization from the depths. The Sea God ns'' aversion to sunlight was strange to say the least, as it didn''t seem to stem from a physical condition at all. Their actions werepletely random from an outsider''s perspective.


    Damien and Zara returned to the Ruvia and Oga n branches respectively when they came out from their burrows. During the brief moment of respite they gained during the daytime, they hade up with a vague course of action to follow.


    The n was simple.


    "I want to speak to your n Head. I have a proposal that he surely wouldn''t want to miss out on." Damien said with confidence.


    "The n Head? Even if you wish to meet him, it will be difficult. The n Head rarely exits seclusion, and when he does, it is only for the most important events concerning the n as a whole." The elder replied with furrowed brows. He didn''t doubt Damien''s qualifications to meet a figure with the n Head''s status at all. After all, Damien''s strength wasn''t too different from his own.


    Damien nodded. He''d already expected this. Still, the vige elder wasn''t some small character, considering his strength. It was likely that the n had positioned arge portion of its elders in these small battlefields to ensure that their subdivisions could survive. If Damien took this into consideration, he could be somewhat assured that the vige elder had the means to contact the n Head as he wished.


    And if there was a point of contact, nothing more needed to be said.


    "I can swear on my mana that you won''t regret helping me this time. If my proposal seeds, the Ruvia n will benefit more than you could ever imagine. It might even be possible…for the n to usurp the throne."


    The vige elder''s eyes narrowed. "Can you stand by what you just said? I''m aware that you haven''t known about the Prominence War for long, so I can excuse your mistake this once. Do not y games with me."


    Damien shook his head in rebuttal. "I''m not ying games. I truly have a n."


    The vige elder nced into Damien''s eyes. Strangely, he couldn''t take Damien''s words as mere nonsense. He hadn''t known Damien for long, nor did he have any reason to trust him. Still, he had the itching feeling that Damien''s words contained some truth.


    He furrowed his brows in thought. He wasn''t lying when he said contacting the n Head would be difficult. If he had something of note to tell the n Head, he might be able to rouse thetter''s interest, but Damien was seemingly intent on keeping his proposal hidden.


    "At the very least, hook me. If you can convince me to help you, then I can convince the n Head." The elder said firmly.


    Damien raised his brow. The elder''s words sounded like a guarantee, and powerhouses didn''t make guarantees easily. If the elder was truly so connected to the n Head…


    "Very well. For this n, the end goal is…the total annihtion of the Tephit n."


    ***


    Damien and the Ruvia Elder''s conversation was mirrored by Zara and the Oga Elder. The two worked in tandem, securing meetings with the central figures of these two great ns for only a single purpose:


    The downfall of the Tephit n.


    Now that Damien had the qualifications topete for sovereignty, he wasn''t going to waste it. But at the same time, he couldn''t stay in Aquazyl until the Prominence War reached its finale.


    The Prominence War between the five ns was on the level ofary warfare. To kill millions down to the roots would take time, especially when the enemy was of equal strength as the attacker. The Prominence War would at least take 5 years to a decade to reachpletion.


    In this time, Damien would be long gone. He might even reach Demigod status in 5 years, considering his past and current trajectory. He couldn''t allow the war to prolong, especially since the Emperor Bone Sea would be a pivotal weapon in the war against the Nox if he could obtain it.


    The best way to use the 3 months he had was to get rid of the greatestpetition.


    The Tephit n who won the previous Prominence War was farrger and more powerful than the other 4 ns. Any single n wouldn''t be able to defeat them alone in a head-on battle.


    Even if the ns worked together, reaching the Tephit n''s peak experts was a challenge in itself. The number of 4th sses they''d raised over the years was immense.


    Damien and Zara''s help could change a great deal of things.


    For one, they both had specialized spatial skills that could be used for concealment and transport. If one wanted tounch a heaven-shaking ambush, theirbination was the greatest tool.


    The two of them were also experts in their own right. Theirbinedbat power surpassed arge majority of the elders of any n. Plus, Damien''s mana was nearly inexhaustible. Against arge number of enemies, he was a war machine.


    To eliminate the Tephit n, they didn''t need to cut the weeds and stomp the roots. This job could be left for the other four ns after they left Aquazyl. As long as they could eliminate the Tephit n''s experts, their victory would be confirmed.


    "…what you''re saying is true, but can you match your ims? It seems as if you consider yourself a force that can match an entire n." The Ruvia Elder questioned doubtfully.


    He knew Damien was strong, but to suggest turning the tides against the Tephit n was insane.


    "Maybe not by myself," Damien openly admitted. He wasn''t stupidly arrogant enough to put himself on such a pedestal.


    "But what if I can bring my own force to match? And what if the Oga n also agrees to cooperate with us?"


    The vige elder''s eyebrows jumped as he fell into thought. He ignored Damien''s ims about his own force since he didn''t believe a young child like him could aplish so much at his age, but if the Oga n and Ruvia n cooperated with a spatial expert aiding them in bypassing barriers…


    ''It might be possible.''


    It was a wild thought to have. In normal circumstances, the two ns together still couldn''tpete with the Tephit n.


    In the 100,000 years after the previous Prominence War, the Tephit n''s society had taken major leaps. Their techniques and technologies were far too advanced for the other ns to understand.


    This meant that their defenses were nigh-unbreakable.


    But Damien''s spatial ability erased this obstacle entirely. If they could ignore the Tephit n''s technology and only had to focus on battling their experts, their chances of sess were greatly heightened.


    "I can''tpletely trust this n, nor do I have the appropriate knowledge to judge its sess. Haa, I guess I should congratte you for hooking me thoroughly. To discuss further, the n Head''s presence is necessary."


    The vige elder was cynical about their chances, but he wasn''t an idiot. The n Damien suggested was full of holes due to hisck of knowledge, but the overall structure was indeed viable.


    A transmission talisman lit up in the elder''s hand. On the other side…
