I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Upon hearing Serene's words, the young offspring of the gods immediately revealed a look of surprise and suspicion. He promptly retreated, using flame magic to notify the other members within the temple. Flames began to erupt from his body, and he gradually started to burn, which seemed to calm him down slightly.

"This is a forbidden area. How did you find this place?" the young human asked Serene warily.

The "angelic lich" cloaked in black robes stepped forward a few paces:

"I've come to see the esteemed Fire God. What I wish to discuss with him is not suitable for your ears."

As they spoke, seven or eight figures emerged from the temple. Most of them slowly spread out to the sides, encircling him, while the leading young woman walked directly towards him.

This was a Rank V avatar of the Fire God, one he had never encountered before.

However, Serene was not surprised. He had ruled the gods for a long time and had seen all sorts of subordinates with their own agendas. Most of the time, he wasn't pretending to ignore them; he genuinely didn't care.

No matter what arrangements they prepared in the shadows, they would naturally be exposed when they encountered the sun.

The young female believer looked at the intruder with arrogance, suppressing a hint of anger in her eyes:

"Do you know the consequences of trespassing here?"

Serene raised his head and looked into her eyes:

"Calm your temper. Let your deity decide whether it's necessary to see me."

The young woman sneered:

"Do you think anyone who comes here is qualified to see the Fire God? And you dare to slander my lord with insolent words. Do you know what your words mean? You should be thinking about how to avoid being killed by me."

She really could do it. Although his avatar could exhibit some combat power in the Southern Federation, if he wanted to ensure that the Fire God couldn't detect his identity at all, he would be constrained.

In that situation, he would probably be captured by this Fire God's believer in a matter of minutes.

"No need to pretend," Serene chuckled. "If he had no intentions, why would he secretly build a temple here? And why would he secretly entrust something to the Sea God for safekeeping?"

Upon hearing this, the young believer's face changed, and in the blink of an eye, she transformed into a roaring blaze, charging towards Serene's position and engulfing him instantly.

But when the flames completely subsided, the black robe only swayed a few times in the wind. Serene seemed completely unaffected by the attack, and the young believer's gaze became solemn.

Good, I got through it.

Serene continued:

"Now can you trust me? Actually, I can understand your deity's unwillingness to be inferior to others. In my opinion, the Sun God has not given your deity the respect he deserves.

"In my view, he deserves to stand in a higher position, at the very least, on par with Serene."

The young woman's face remained expressionless as she slowly stepped back. Then, raging flames erupted from her body and began to rapidly reform.

The flames then transformed back into a handsome man in his thirties.

"Don't say such things in public," the handsome man said, looking at him. "Perhaps the moment you utter his name, that guy will sense that we are discussing him."

Serene calmly said:

"I dare to say it because I am confident. The King of Gods was indeed powerful in the past, but he is completely different now. That old thing has one foot in the grave.

"The future world belongs to you and us. We just need to give him a shove."

The Fire God smiled upon hearing this:

"That's right, he is indeed out of touch with the times and still uses outdated ideas to restrain us new gods. I do want his era to end, but you are wrong about one thing.

"Although he is an old stubborn and may indeed have one foot in the grave, he is still much stronger than you and me. Otherwise, you wouldn't be sneaking around here to find me, would you?"

He was right. If he had the same level of power as "Serene" and wasn't limited to the Southern Federation by the Titan Curse, then he wouldn't need to come here to find him.

He wouldn't even need to surpass Rank V. As long as he could leave the Southern Federation, that level of power, coupled with his intelligence, would solve most of the problems he was facing now. Perhaps only Shenxiao could pique his interest.

If he had been as mature as he was now during "Sunset," he wouldn't have been foolish enough to make that mistake. That lesson was what made him grow, but unfortunately, when he had "enough" experience, he no longer had the power.

Although Serene felt a sense of emotion in his heart, he didn't feel any regret.

Because he knew very well that this kind of imperfection was the norm in life. How could everything be good for him? He would have to be very lucky to possess both at the same time, but relying too much on luck was often the thinking of the weak.

The strong are those who can prevail in adversity.

"If it were just the two of us, you might be right," Serene continued. "But I am not only representing myself. There are many people in this world who do not want Serene to continue to prosper."

Hearing him mention Serene's name again, the Fire God frowned slightly, but didn't say anything about it:

"That's true. There are indeed many people who want to pull him down, and this is not a good thing for us southern gods. So why do you think I would help you drag him down?"

Although not entirely accurate, Serene's significance to the southern gods was somewhat similar to Shenxiao's to humans. Just as Serene, as the god of gods, wanted to imprison Shenxiao, other races would naturally want to weaken Serene.

"Because what we want to do is not to pull him down," Serene said with a hint of angelic arrogance. "What we want to do is to let you replace his position. We don't want to weaken the gods at all. We just want to form an alliance with the gods, but the arrogant Serene simply looks down on us."

The Fire God knew that these were just empty words. Assuming they could really help him replace Serene, then the gods would have already suffered a reduction in power, which would not be a good thing for all the gods, except for him.

"So what exactly do you want to do?" the Fire God asked. "If you have this ability, why do you need to come to me for cooperation?"

Serene replied:

"Because it is inconvenient for us to take action, and we cannot challenge him head-on. However, as far as we know, that Mann currently has something you care about very much, doesn't he?"

The Fire God knew he wasn't up to any good. Sure enough, his fox tail was finally revealed.

"You are the mysterious person the Federation is talking about," the Fire God asked, looking at him. "It seems that your goal is not the Sun God, but that Mann you originally wanted to kill."

Serene denied:

"No, both of them are our targets. So what do you say?"

Since Mann and the secret alliance behind him might have already begun to suspect the Southern Federation, he might as well really let the gods of the Southern Federation participate in it, and then leave a clue pointing to Heaven in the back.

When that organization investigates, it will eventually point to his avatar. Combining that with the information they obtained from the Federation, they will definitely suspect Heaven. Plus, Heaven and Mann have had conflicts before, they will definitely be entangled for a long time, giving him enough time to prepare.

The Fire God also narrowed his eyes slightly. Actually, after hearing about that matter, he had originally planned to wait for Mann to die of old age, but since this mysterious person had found him now, he had no intention of backing down.

"Then tell me your thoughts," he replied.

After all, Mann was just a mortal, and he was an immortal god.

He had unbridled power.
