Chapter 2375: To Duat

Chapter 2375: To Duat



Sam's message had a magical effect.

All the players who were already on fast track for a breakthrough, increased their speed of actions even more. Meanwhile, Sam made some more arrangements before he found a way to slip to the Duat region.

Trike helped with that actually.

The elder somehow managed to convince all of the Duat region in just a couple to days and made it so that Sam will not be targeted there. He even arranged long winding appointments with the people of Duat region whose descendants or affiliated people have signed the agreements with Sam.

So, he is basically going there to inherit the properties and riches that he strongarmed them into signing off to him.

Everyone just assumed that various powers will look for a way to break that agreement with Sam. In fact, most people are doing that. They even estimated much more pushback from relatively neutral territories like Duat and Xia will be a lot more resistant to this.

After all, at least Olympus, Norse and Sanatan realms have some grudges with Hub and Sam and their amplified a bit.

The same couldn't be said about the other realms. So, Sam's imposing and unreasonable penalty on them is completely uncalled for.

At least that was what's in everyone's mind, before Duat region's open invitation for Sam.

Of course, this raised a million alarm bells in Ling Tian's and Dove's hearts. The moment the invitation was announced, he was called to the Dean's office.

"What the hell is happening? Is Set academy trying to lure you and kill you? Did you piss off Trike while we were not watching?"

The moment Sam stepped his foot in the office, the barrage of words from Ling Tian's mouth hit him.

Dove didn't say anything, but the way she is biting her lower lip trying to stay put, clearly showed how much she wanted to yell out loud.

Wharton looked bored as usual.

"Why the heck are you even using my office for meeting without my permission? Even if you use it, why do you need to force me to stay here?"

Wharton muttered even before Sam could answer.

Ling Tian gave him a glare and turned back to Sam.

Sam sighed and said.

"Can you stop nagging me every time you hear something about me? If it is really needed, and if there is really a sign of threat, I would have contacted you myself. This one is completely safe."

"Safe? How will you know that?"

Sam looked at Dove and Wharton before sighing again.

"I signed a soul contract. Trike himself vouched for my safety.

Don't worry about it."

Ling Tian looked at him intently before he also sighed in exhaustion.

"I would rather be in the frontlines that dealing with you. This is getting ridiculous."

"I should be the one saying this. I understand you are paranoid about another disaster, but can you stop summoning me here every time you hear something?"

Sam turned around and left. He didn't want to give anymore explanations. These old men are all full of questions.

He just made some arrangements before leaving. He didn't go through the space gate. He went out on harbinger. Duat region is one of the farthest in terms of distance. So, it took some time for Sam to arrive there.

Their information is part of the database he made of the astral region students. They are from

the lesser academies in the astral region. All from the academies that are affiliated to Set

academy.

Sam checked their constitutions once again and was impressed by Trike's ability to gather them all here. They indeed meet most of the requirements Sam mentioned.

Among them, he picked three.

"These three will suffice. They have the highest affinity to the dark element and death energy. Their constitutions are also not rigid, which allows us to be a lot more flexible with our

approach."

Trike was surprised by Sam's selection, but he didn't show any objections. The same didn't go with the other four elders though. Once Sam left to back to his residence, the gathered and

started bitching about it.

"Elder Trike, are you sure this is the right guy for this? The three people he selected are the ones with the least potential. They would barely be able to breakthrough to the Divine plane

and that will take their life time.

How can we create a vessel for the prince of darkness from any of the three?

The previous vessel is a dozen times talented than any of them. But even he wasn't able to

hold the black fog without any consequences."

"I also have some doubts about him. Recreating something, recreating a body with a constitution... that is the job of gods. How can a normal cultivator, that too a human do it?

This could very well be the impossible."

Trike stayed silent for a while.

These questions bombarded his mind as well. He also thought the same thing.

But Stone's results.

The change in Stone's body is not small. He even investigated about Stone and his involvement with Jade and Theron. Stone's past is not that hard to find.

Stone's connection to flaming skulls and that flaming skulls' alleged connection with Sam, he

can fill in the rest of the blanks.

And Sam himself admitted that he can do it.

On top of all that, his instinct told him that Sam is the man for the job. So, he convinced

himself and convinced the elders.

"Are you doubting my judgment?" That is all he said.

The other four immediately went mute. They didn't dare raise their voice.

Anyway, Sam managed to changed their mind later and they realized these doubts were just

them being ignorant.
