When the golden glow appeared above where this seer was trying to identify the people in that vision, it pressed hard against him.

Immediately upon realizing this, this man's focus shifted from identifying those people to protecting himself.

He realized this attack could hurt him if he weren't quick enough!

'What is this? How can you stop all my preparations and still oppress me?' He wondered in amazement, sensing that this was a seer's work far more capable than he was.

However, in the entire Central Continent, there were no people with the ability to analyze or defend the future of one better than he!

At most, a few individuals might be at the same level as him, but nothing would make them reach the level necessary to stop him from doing his job this way!

As such, he immediately thought of the other powers of the Spiritual World!

'Could this be the stuff of some elf? Or perhaps one of the elders of the Divine Continent?'

The Divine Continent was a place that lived up to its own name. Aside from Elves Island, this place was second to none in this world, having the best cultivation areas, crops, in short, natural conditions for spiritual development.

The place was so good that there was a saying that if one couldn't enter one Spatial Kingdom, they still wouldn't be helpless because the Divine Continent existed!

Special Kingdoms still beat that place. But the difference was less than 10%, demonstrating the impressive quality of that land.

This seer from the Eastern Empire knew the differences between his continent and that other one, so he immediately considered the experts of that place as potential culprits of his current situation.

He was at level 95, even though he was a seer, a challenging profession to advance through the levels because it didn't involve such beneficial challenges to soul growth. But even though he had reached this impressive level, he still paled in the face of the most powerful seers in this world, who were ranked at levels 96 and 97.

Thinking of them, he did not suspect it was something more and immediately stepped back in time to not be harmed by that terrifying pressure.

Upon losing his vision, this man left his meditative state and opened his eyes, sweating, cold, and pale. 

Immediately after feeling a faint taste of blood in his mouth, he ran to where the emperor should be to notify him of the problem he had encountered on his way.

"Your Majesty, this subordinate will not be able to help you this time. Someone much more capable than I am is preventing me from trying to predict the fate of the one who found the map and the key to the Seraphim Ancient Sarcophagus." He said as he saw the figure of Vico Travisani.

Upon hearing that, Vico almost didn't believe the words of his most trusted seer. However, upon looking at that man's face and feeling the situation of his aura, this emperor felt that there was a problem indeed.

"What happened?"

"I couldn't see much, Your Majesty. While trying to identify those related to the previous situation, something powerful tried to crush me." He recalled the previous pressure, analyzing the matter more coldly. "If I didn't have all my defenses with me, I could have been seriously injured by that thing.

Luckily I prepared well and only wore myself out a little."

"So a higher-level seer is protecting this person?" Vico frowned his eyebrows, not liking this at all.

"Probably, Your Majesty."

"But couldn't you see anything else? I doubt that one of the old men from the Divine Continent or the Elves Island would be able to stop you so much that you couldn't get anything."

The seer shook his head negatively. "I couldn't. Besides, the one who stopped me was much stronger than me. I could feel that he spared me. If it weren't for the fact that I immediately backed off when I felt his pressure, he would have tried to hit me more seriously.

So if I try again, I'm afraid the results won't be any better."

Vico clenched his fists, not liking this at all. But he accepted what this loyal subordinate had to say and asked. "But did you see anything before you lost your sight?"

"Yes. I could see two groups on different sides, and between them was a person, someone mighty." He said, remembering what he had seen before that golden glow appeared.

Vico had heard something similar when the prophet told him about the calamity this continent would face in the future. So upon hearing that, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva in concern.

'Damn it!'

...

After a few more hours...

Minos' group had finished their journey to the Veora Kingdom's border with the Western Empire!

After they said goodbye to the humans curious about the Goddess of Life and Minos Stuart, they encountered no more human groups on their way and could travel between the beast-dominated areas without any problems.

Beasts were territorial beings and usually did not like powerful beings passing close to their territories. But even with these characteristics and the fact that they enjoyed fighting, they could talk.

If they were totally chaotic, these beings could not live in peace and would probably lead to the extinction of all beast species!

Because they could differentiate problems and didn't always seek confrontation, not every being would be threatened by beasts passing near a beast-dominated territory.

That was particularly true for those territories of more powerful beasts because these beings were less violent than those of a lower level, who would still have to develop their intelligence further.

Minos and his group had traveled around the edges of the territories of strong beings. After conversations and sometimes payment of resources, they managed to travel peacefully without fighting against stronger beings.

Those weaker ones would naturally not stand in their way, and those of equal strength had been bypassed for the best outcome for all.

So right now, Minos was saying goodbye to those beasts that had made his journey through this territory so much easier, who had probably helped him to make it impossible for one of his pursuers to discover him there.

He could leave traces for his spotters to track him down if he had to fight!

Not having had to do that, Minos was grateful for those beasts' help as he finished paying them for their services.

"Guys, thanks for bringing me here. I'll take you guys out for a drink if we meet again someday." He said after he had delivered the medicines and food from those creatures.

Hermes nodded to Minos and wished him good luck. "Have a good trip in the Western Empire, Edgar. That place is more dangerous than our state, so I advise you to do business as you did with us there. That way, you will be able to finish your trip safely."

"Hmm, I intend to do that." Minos lied before he saw those creatures leaving, still in their humanoid forms, for passing through other beasts' territories like that demonstrated peaceful intentions.

He sighed and then looked at the territory before him, soon after using his skills to cross the border through a wormhole.

'Time to meet the first human city of a high-level empire...' He thought about his destination, where he felt it would be best to leave for his sea voyage.
