Starting from primitive world, building the strongest divine kingdom

At this moment, Enzo suddenly broke the silence, asking, "What should we do next?"

Hearing Enzo's question, Patricia raised her head, glanced at Karina, and then looked back at Enzo, her gaze seeming to ask whether Karina could be trusted.

Enzo hesitated slightly before replying, "Karina is one of us."

Having confirmed this, Patricia spoke, "That orc, his name is Clareno, and he was once one of my deadliest enemies. He comes from the Primordial Beast Clan, which is an enemy faction of the Temple of the Seven Gods. Clareno's presence on the Fierce Beast continent, along with the Hammer of the Primordial Beast, indicates he is here for something.

I need to report this to the Temple of the Seven Gods and request support."

At that moment, Quinn walked into the cave.

After bringing everyone back, Enzo had used his life elemental power to heal them, and Quinn's injuries weren't too severe.

However, Kitsch was truly dead.

This was a heavy blow to Quinn.

The two had known each other for a long time, and their bond was deep.

Patricia comforted him, saying, "Quinn, for any member of the Temple, death is inevitable. Don't dwell on it too much."

The death of an individual is insignificant, especially in the grand scale of the universe.

Quinn nodded and said, "I understand. But I must avenge this! Clareno must die!"

After venting his anger and sorrow, Quinn slowly regained his composure. He walked up to Enzo, knelt down on one knee, and sincerely expressed his gratitude, saying, "Mr. Enzo, you saved me this time. I, Quinn, am deeply grateful!"

Saying this, Quinn took out a special crystal.

After handing it to Enzo, he explained, "This is a Memory Crystal. It contains most of the publicly available information about the Underground-River starfield."

Quinn had learned a little about Enzo's background from Patricia.

Therefore, this was the most suitable gift he could offer, though it also had to do with the fact that Quinn didn't have anything else of value on him. The most valuable thing he owned was his massive battle axe, but that was his weapon—his companion for survival—so it was naturally impossible for him to give it to Enzo.

After thinking it over, the Memory Crystal seemed the most fitting.

Enzo had the same thought. He happily took the crystal, then said, "The past is forgotten. As for the future, if you don't mind, we can be friends."

Upon hearing this, Quinn suddenly looked up, excited, and shouted, "Yes, Brother Enzo!"

Although Enzo was younger than Quinn, in both the Starry Sky and the Fierce Beast world, strength was what mattered most. Enzo was stronger than Quinn, so calling him "Brother" was well-deserved.

Enzo, of course, wasn't bothered by such small differences in titles.

After discussing it, the group made a decision: Quinn would return alone to the base near the Blood Ruins, which was the same place the three of them had arrived from by spaceship. The ship had a special mobile phone that could contact the other members of the Rage Temple.

The rest of the group would stay in the Otrank Mountains to investigate the Primordial Beast Clan's conspiracy.

Of course, this was largely Patricia's mission, but Enzo didn't object. He also wanted to get to the bottom of the truth behind the Otrank Mountains, and staying with Patricia meant they could look out for each other.

Days passed by gradually.

In the past few days, the Otrank Mountains had become even livelier, with the sounds of battles erupting from time to time. Fierce Beasts had also become more frequent in the area. During this time, Enzo, Patricia, and Karina had hunted down many Fierce Beasts and accumulated a large number of Elder Deity Crystals.

These crystals were tossed into Enzo's small world.

The World Tree within the world absorbed the energy from the Elder Deity Crystals greedily, growing increasingly mysterious while also gradually strengthening Enzo's soul power.

This, in turn, made the Soul Fortress more solid and powerful.

"Patricia, Karina, it's about time. We should head out."

Enzo suddenly spoke in the cave.

Patricia nodded, stood up, and walked toward the cave entrance.

Her injuries had fully healed.

Not only that, but she had also gained a small improvement. Once her training in the Fierce Beast world was complete and she returned to the Rage Temple, she would undoubtedly experience further growth with the resources available there.

However, Patricia's expression suddenly became downcast.

Kitsch was dead...

Thinking of this, Patricia's gaze sharpened again. She turned to Enzo and said, "Based on what we know, Clareno should still be in the core area. This time, I'll draw his attention, and you can launch a surprise attack."

Enzo fell into deep thought after hearing this.

The plan sounded fine in theory, but there were major flaws. Putting aside Clareno's own immense strength, the subordinates he had brought along were far from ordinary. A successful ambush would not be easy.

Moreover, Quinn had already gone to inform the high-ranking officials of the Rage Temple.

Once the higher-ups arrived, this matter would naturally be resolved. The only thing they needed to do now was wait.

But it was clear that Patricia, driven by rage, was not thinking this through clearly.

Enzo let out a small sigh in his heart and said, "It's worth a try."

Patricia nodded and walked ahead.

The group once again entered the core area of the Otrank Mountains, but this time, before Enzo and the others could locate Clareno, they immediately felt the ground begin to tremble violently.

"Be careful! Something's moving beneath the ground!"

Enzo shouted loudly.

Upon hearing Enzo's warning, Patricia and Karina instantly leapt into the air, and they immediately saw the ground splitting open in dense cracks, resembling a spider's web.

Scorching magma erupted from the fissures, sending waves of intense heat into the air, and within that searing atmosphere, there was also a strong and pungent scent of blood.

Moo——

At that moment, a deep, rumbling sound echoed from below the surface.

The sound came from the earth itself, and as the sound reverberated, the ground cracked, dirt flying up, and magma shot into the air. Enzo quickly formed a flame barrier to block the incoming molten rock.

Then, he looked down at the ground.

From the earth emerged a massive Minotaur Monster, its huge body adorned with several symmetrical crimson patterns. The patterns were covered with scorching magma, as though the molten rock was flowing directly from the creature itself.

"Fiery Rock Bull!"

Patricia exclaimed in shock, her face turning pale.

She recognized the creature's identity. It was a rare species even in the Starry Sky, naturally powerful, and especially when fully grown, it could resist the attacks of low-tier deities with just its physical strength, without needing to cultivate any supernatural powers.

She hadn't expected to encounter one in the Fierce Beast world.

Patricia felt a sense of despair rising in her heart.

At this moment, the Fiery Rock Bull seemed to have heard Patricia's murmur. It raised its head and looked over. Its massive eyes, though blood-red, showed no sign of malice. Instead, they were filled with curiosity and surprise.

Then, the Fiery Rock Bull spoke: "Are you from the Rage Temple?"

The sudden question left Patricia stunned.

She was slightly confused and, under the Fiery Rock Bull's gaze, slowly landed on the ground.

Enzo and Karina did the same.

"Respected powerhouse, my name is Patricia, and as you can see, I am indeed from the Rage Temple."Once she landed, Patricia noticed that the Fiery Rock Bull didn't seem to have any murderous intent. She let out a sigh of relief in her heart.

The Fiery Rock Bull nodded.

It stared at Patricia, then smiled and said, "I am also a member of the Rage Temple."

"Also?" Patricia asked, a hint of doubt in her voice.

The Fiery Rock Bull continued, a nostalgic look in its eyes, "My name is Oris."

"Oris! Invincible Wild Bull Oris!"

Patricia immediately gasped in surprise.

In the Temple of the Seven Gods from Starry Sky, there were members from all over the Underground-River starfield, some of whom were extraordinarily powerful and held great prestige within the temple. Oris was one of them.

From what Patricia had heard, Oris was a Minotaur with a noble bloodline, incredibly strong. On the temple's virtual battlefield, he had maintained an undefeated streak of one hundred consecutive wins, never once losing. For this, he was given the title "Invincible Wild Bull."

To think she would meet him here!

Patricia's heart raced with excitement. Moreover, Oris didn't seem as arrogant as others had described. At least, from Patricia's perspective, while his appearance was terrifying, his personality seemed quite decent.

At that moment, Oris spoke again: "Patricia, what brings you to the Fierce Beast continent?"

Patricia explained her training journey and then shared the encounter with Clareno. After listening, Oris was silent for a moment before he spoke solemnly."As your senior, my advice is to leave the Fierce Beast continent immediately."

"Why?" Patricia asked, curious.

Enzo also stared at Oris, waiting for an explanation.

Oris sighed deeply. His massive form began to shrink, and the towering figure that had once been dozens of meters tall gradually diminished. Finally, it settled into the shape of a normal-sized Minotaur, though still standing at around two meters in height.

This was Oris's true form.

He did not try to hide the truth from Enzo, Patricia, and the others—or rather, he didn't think it necessary to hide it. He spoke plainly:

"The traces of Eomaia have appeared in the Otrank Mountains. I learned about this many years ago, which is why I came to the Fierce Beast continent. After years of investigation, I have confirmed that the information is accurate."

As he spoke, Oris extended his hand.

In the palm of his hand, several drops of blood appeared.

The blood did not merge together but remained as separate spherical droplets, faintly trembling. The air around them was filled with a strong, pungent smell of blood, and there was a sinister, malevolent aura emanating from them.

This feeling—

"Elder Deity Crystals!" Enzo blurted out instinctively.
