Father of War Kaisaros is one of the oldest among the Old Gods. If a community meeting is held, he would sit in the chairman's seat at that level. So why does something of Kane appear in the courage trial set by Kaisaros?

"Because he never denied it, yet he never admitted it, right?"

A voice drifted in from outside the window.

Ethan, deep in thought, was startled. When he looked towards the sound, a familiar face came into view. Her long silver hair fluttering in the evening breeze, she had shed her evening gown for a tight uniform suitable for nighttime activities. The contrast between the black body suit and her white hair was stark.

Those red eyes were staring in at him through the window.

Frost climbed over the windowsill, extending into the room. Lindong was perched at the window like Spider-Man, "Hurry, open the window!"

This, this isn't right!

About half an hour ago, he had said goodnight to Lindong over the phone and had declined her invitation, stating that they should conserve their strength.

Lindong's tone didn't seem like she was negotiating, "You wouldn't want them to think you smashed the window of the consortium tomorrow, would you?"

This showed the importance of the protective window.

Considering his current status as a temporary resident and on the principle of protecting public property, Ethan had no choice but to compromise like those who had heard this phrase before. He got up to open the window and helped Lindong inside.

"It's just that we all thought Kane had tacitly accepted the 'Blood Demon' identity."

Back at the temple, Lindong was also considering the same question.

Stirring up conflicts has always been Kaisaros' authority, and for the Blood Demon, it's more of a hobby.

The reason she didn't immediately think of Kaisaros was because she knew he had always existed. In the dungeon, he is one of the Old Gods with the most followers. How could he appear in the Empire under another identity?

But now, she couldn't help but suspect that Kaisaros was conducting some kind of experiment unknown even to other Old Gods, somehow separating a part of his consciousness.

Besides what Kane mentioned tonight about retrieving what belonged to him, his attitude towards Kaisaros was also a bit strange.

This is the domain of the Old Gods, Kaisaros truly exists here. If Kane really were just a small minion from an old era, how dare he enter into deeper planes through the ceremony?

"Assume that Kane is the incarnation of Kaisaros."

As a teacher, Lindong decided to correct her past misguidance, "Retrieving the treasure is likely not that simple."

Ethan fell into silence.

Lindong's thoughts coincided with his own.

As one of the three great Old Gods, Kaisaros split off a portion of his consciousness, allowing it to act under Kane's identity in this world, going as far as to become a captive of Sincaro's followers. This is certainly not just for 'fun' or 'amusement.'

He might also be conducting the same experiment just as Sincaro is.

This is a request from a good brother.

But...

If the treasure Kane seeks in the courage trial is indeed the authority of Kaisaros, then they would be essentially helping an Old God smuggle back into this world.

"Ethan, I know what you're thinking."

Lindong's voice softened, "You're wondering if Kane is truly trustworthy?"

Fortunately, the night was still long.

Ethan had plenty of time to ponder.

A sleepless night.

For Miss Xiangwei, it was the same. Since the end of the banquet, her restless thoughts had not stopped.

The relationship between Ethan and Kane was really too close for comfort. So close that it made her and the consortium's leadership uneasy. Looking back now, considering the relationship between Ethan and Kane, perhaps they had reached some sort of agreement in Ophira long ago.

Is it really a coincidence that Ethan appears in the dungeon at this time?

Everyone saw a problem in the way the three interacted.

The competitive environment among the candidates no longer exists.

Lindong Witch, an Old God, and Ethan—if these three united together, did they harbor other undisclosed motives as they ventured into deeper planes through the ceremonies?

Miss Xiangwei's gaze unconsciously shifted towards the bedside table, where a quiet shrine rested.

"What do you know about Kane?"

On impulse, she posed the question to the high-ranking demon within the shrine.

"Kane? Oh, I have heard many things about him, but you know the rules."

The shrine emanated a seductive voice, "If you want information, you must offer something of equivalent value in exchange. There's no fun in this."

"What do you want?"

"Your body, of course, just temporarily."

The high-ranking demon coaxed, "Say 'agree' to me, and in return, I will tell you everything you wish to know, Miss Xiangwei."

...

Miss Xiangwei's eyes flickered for a long time. Eventually, she made her decision after what seemed like ages.

Late at night, after everyone had fallen asleep, her figure moved through the corridors.

She clutched the shrine tightly, heading straight for a certain room.

The light inside was still on, and there seemed to be faint sounds of conversation. Miss Xiangwei smiled with delight and knocked on the door.

"It's Miss Xiangwei."

"Miss Xiangwei?"

Ethan's voice came from inside, "What's the matter?"

"I have a report!"

Miss Xiangwei raised her voice, "There is a high-ranking demon here who knows about Kane!"
