TL: Etude


    After repeatedly evading the Innate Deities’ searches, Ye Tian had no concerns.


    Moreover, he frequently used his Destion Mark talent, bing increasingly adept at it. He could even temporarily block the Deste Realm power lock of the Innate Deities.


    Thus, unless the Innate Deities expended significant resources to find him, they would have a hard time locating him through ordinary means.


    After all, Ye Tian possessed too many talents. With his disguise talent and various soul secret techniques to alter his soul aura, it was exceedingly difficult to pinpoint his location.


    One day, Ye Tian prepared to head towards the center of the Deste Realm. He didn’t intend to seize the Zichen Wood there.


    That area was the territory of the Deste Demons, and attempting to seize the Zichen Wood there would be akin to courting death.


    The reason Ye Tian decided to go there was due to a certain opportunity.


    Not long ago, he had infiltrated an upper n of the Deste Realm and learned a secret from a Universal God within that n. This secret intrigued him greatly.Of course, a more significant reason was that he found it increasingly difficult to obtain the Zichen Wood.


    Perhaps because he had taken too much Zichen Wood, and the Innate Deities couldn’t catch him, they hadid terrifying formations within their created ns. These formations protected the Zichen Wood, preventing him from essing it.


    Thus, even if he broke into a Deste Realm n now, he wouldn’t be able to steal any Zichen Wood.


    If he wanted to obtain Zichen Wood, he could only look for ownerless Zichen Wood in the wild, but such searches were extremely challenging.


    After careful consideration, he realized he already had enough Zichen Wood and didn’t need to take more. Therefore, there was no need to risk seizing it further.


    Comparatively, he was more interested in acquiring other opportunities.


    And now, he knew of one such opportunity.


    “ording to that Universal God, there is a Deste Tower at the center of the Deste Realm.


    The Deste Tower is extremely mysterious, existing even before the birth of the Innate Deities in the Deste Realm.


    The reason so many Supremes have emerged from the Deste Realm is closely rted to the Deste Tower!” Ye Tian murmured to himself.


    Previously, he had been puzzled as to why such a small ce like the Deste Realm could give birth to so many Supremes and Dominators.


    In the outside world, there were many Innate Deities, far more than in the Deste Realm, but it was very difficult for an Innate Deity in the outside world to be a Supreme. Even if they had the talent, most could only reach the Heavenly Venerable level. To be a Supreme, one had to maintain thebat power of a Supreme Prince at the peak of the Great God level.


    This standard was too high. In one era, only a few Supremes might emerge, and arge cosmic race might not even produce one Supreme in an era.


    For example, in the Human race, in Ye Tian’s era, aside from him, others were rtively ordinary and couldn’t produce a Supreme Prince. The Immortal Race only produced one or two Supreme Princes, and the Demon race was likely simr.


    But the Deste Realm was abnormally different. Almost every Innate Deity could grow to the Dominator realm, and once they reached the Heavenly Venerable realm, they were certain to be Supremes. This was terrifying! While the Deste Realm had many resources, bing a Supreme was not just about resources. If it were, the Immortal and Demon races would have Supremes everywhere.


    Heritage, talent, resources, opportunities, and luck were all indispensable.


    Obviously, the Deste Realm possessed all these conditions.


    Moreover, it was said that the Innate Deities of the Deste Realm rarely left, remaining in such a small ce. How could they break through to be Supremes?


    Ye Tian now had a hypothesis: “The Deste Tower is an extremely important ce in the Deste Realm, but unfortunately, even the upper ns don’t have the right to enter it or even approach it.


    Only Innate Deities and Deste Demons can enter the Deste Tower.”


    This was the information Ye Tian had obtained.


    As for why only the Deste Demons were allowed to enter the Deste Tower and not the other upper ns, even that Universal God didn’t know. He was also jealous of the Deste Demon Race.


    However, this rule was established by the Innate Deities, and if any other upper n approached the Deste Tower without permission, they would face certain death.


    Once, an extremely powerful Universal God ventured into the Deste Tower area and was immediately killed by an Innate Deity.


    Ye Tian spected that entering the Deste Tower required certain conditions. Otherwise, the Innate Deities of the Deste Realm wouldn’t be so selfish as to allow only the Deste Demons to enter.


    After all, each Deste Realm race was created by the Innate Deities. How could those deities not care about their own races?


    “Unless those upper or lower ns couldn’t enter the Deste Tower, or entering it would be useless, and only the Deste Demons met the conditions to enter,” Ye Tian thought.


    The only difference between the Deste Demons and other upper ns was their Destion Mark talent.


    Deste Demons could mobilize the power of the Deste Realm. If that was the reason, then Ye Tian could also enter the Deste Tower because he also possessed the Destion Mark talent and could mobilize the Deste Realm’s power.


    “The Deste Tower is so important. If I were to enter it without permission, the Innate Deities might refrain from attacking me due to their agreements with the external Supremes, but the terrifying Universal Gods of the Deste Demon Race would definitely attack me,” Ye Tian pondered.


    Thus, he devised a n to disguise himself as a member of the Deste Demon Race to enter the Deste Tower.


    Of course, merely disguising himself as any Deste Demon would definitely be detected.


    The number of Deste Demons wasn’trge, making them easy to identify. If an unfamiliar Deste Demon appeared, they would undoubtedly be a subject of scrutiny.


    No matter how strong Ye Tian’s disguise abilities were, he would still be discovered. Therefore, he needed to rece a specificary System-level Deste Demon, and in the process, gather more information from them to avoid any mistakes.


    In the center of the Deste Realm, within the territory of the Deste Demons, Ye Tian disguised himself and arrived there. He constantly activated his Destion Mark talent to avoid detection by the Innate Deities.


    It seemed that the Innate Deities no longer paid attention to him, making him feel quite safe now.


    Time passed slowly as Ye Tian cautiously searched for traces of the Deste Demons.


    His target was only aary System-level Deste Demon. Whenever he sensed the presence of other powerful Deste Demons, he immediately distanced himself.


    Under such circumstances, finding a suitable target wasn’t easy.


    He had to wait patiently, never allowing himself to be anxious.


    During this period, other external powerhouses within the Deste Realm either managed to seize the Zichen Wood and leave the realm quickly, not daring to linger, or were killed by the powerful beings of the Deste Realm, forever remaining there.


    Statistically, most of the external powerhouses perished in the Deste Realm. The majority of the Human race’sary System-level and Gxy-level powerhouses met the same fate.


    There was no help for it. Once the Innate Deities discovered these external powerhouses, they easily dispatched Universal Gods to ughter theary System-level individuals. Theseary System-level and Gxy-level beings didn’t possess Ye Tian’s strength and naturally couldn’t survive.


    However, a small number ofary System-level and Gxy-level individuals who entered the Deste Realm this time managed to obtain the Zichen Wood.


    Months passed in the blink of an eye.


    On this day, Ye Tian finally found a suitable target!
