Since Tiramisu needed 30 minutes to recover, the Earth Sovereign took advantage of this opportunity to explain everything.
…
When the Book of Nalu exploded, many pages spread throughout the Universe. Some landed in Feinan, some flew away into the sky.
Many people were frightened by the terrifying book after that God died from it, so they didn’t look for it.
There was only one exception back then.
That was the Earth Sovereign.
He personally saw the explosion of that God Realm, and the chaos that reigned in the God Realms afterwards.
Thus, when that page of the Book of Nalu flew over his world, he subconsciously stopped its path.
He hadn’t thought that this would nearly create a huge disaster!
That page was called Beast.
There was a beast in each person’s heart. But everyone was subconsciously using a cage to keep it sealed. But that page could release the beast locked inside the heart of anyone that came into contact with it!
Originally, the hearts of the Elemental Sovereigns were pure and free of desire. The Earth Sovereign was the same, and he would rarely find himself losing control.
He had a lot of confidence in himself and he believed that since it was just a page of the Book of Nalu and not the whole book, it could never harm him.
What’s more, the Ancient God who wrote the Book of Nalu was at most on the same level as him. In term of pure power, the Earth Sovereign would definitely be stronger.
Thinking like this, he hid the page away.
Over a few hundred years, he occasionally looked through it. He didn’t notice anything wrong at the start, as nothing seemed to happen. But gradually, he started feeling that something was off.
The Elemental Sovereign’s heart started becoming chaotic.
He didn’t know when it began, but at some point, a shadow had appeared in his heart!
And that shadow looked just like him.
Over hundreds of years, the [Beast] finally found an opportunity and corrupted a part of the Earth Sovereign’s heart.
He started becoming moody, and even the entire Elemental Plane of Earth started becoming unstable.
Fortunately, he found out about it before it was too late and promptly used a method to isolate the problem.
He peeled away that evil beast and trapped it in this unstable land!
This was also the origin of the Collapsed Earth!
…
“And that was it,” the Earth Sovereign concluded. “I asked the Water Sovereign to help me peel off the evil within me and then I locked it in the Collapsed Earth.”
“As it was an Elemental lifeform, neither I nor the Water Sovereign could kill it, so we could only imprison it, leaving the matter somewhat unresolved. I never thought that you would be the one to fix my troubles.”
“Now that I’ve been freed and the evil part of me has been destroyed, I have to sincerely thank you, Marvin.”
Marvin nodded thoughtfully. “That’s why you didn’t hesitate to go against the God Realms?”
The Earth Sovereign nodded and gently said, “The God Realms never entered my eyes. Especially here, in my own domain. This is a very safe place for you to stay.”
Marvin’s heart calmed down, but he also heard the implied meaning.
The Elemental Plane of Earth was very safe, but other places wouldn’t be safe.
The Gods had retreated, but they definitely wouldn’t leave it at that.
This time, Marvin took Tiramisu to the God Realms and slapped the faces of the Gods. And there was still the precious Fate Tablet! How could they easily let him go?
As if he could sense Marvin’s thoughts, the Earth Sovereign waved his hand and a scene appeared in front of them.
Outside the Elemental Plane of Earth, the Gods were waiting calmly, apparently ready for a fight. They didn’t think that Marvin would stay long in the Elemental Plane of Earth.
“They are really unwilling to give up on the Fate Tablet.” The Earth Sovereign sighed with sorrow. “Since they already chose to believe in the legend of the Destroyer, then why are they not following the established path?”
“Maybe this is wishful thinking, maybe each of them believes that they are different.”
Marvin suddenly asked, “The legend of the Destroyer?”
The Earth Sovereign smiled. “Yes, the legend of the Destroyer. When Lance left, it spread through the God Realms.”
“From the current situation, the person who fits the signs of the prophecy is you, Marvin.”
Marvin frowned.
There actually was something like that?
No wonder Eve had wanted to kill him.
If Lance really wanted to destroy this world, then why did he have Marvin transmigrate?
“Could it be that he wanted to destroy this world through my hands?”
Marvin’s heart sank.
“In fact, the matter of the Destroyer was originally nothing at all.” The Earth Sovereign didn’t seem to believe this version, and instead soothed him.
In any case, Tiramisu still needed some time to recover, so Marvin decided to rest in the Elemental Plane of Earth for now.
Since they were here, he asked about some questions that had been puzzling him for a long time.
In his eyes, the Earth Sovereign, as one of the oldest beings in the world, should know about these things.
…
“The game between Lance and the Plane Will? There is indeed such a thing.”
“But I don’t know too much about it. I have to stay in the Elemental Plane of Earth. Lance and many other Gods faded away, but I didn’t pay much attention to it.”
“In my position, I can only pay attention to the stability of the Universe. After Lance disappeared, I tried contacting him, but I failed. This worried me.”
“The only thing I can tell you right now is that the Book of Nalu is the key to stopping all this. It was written by an old friend of mine.”
The Earth Sovereign’s next word confirmed something that Marvin had suspected at one point. “Many people know him as the God of Deception, but he is in fact the God of Wisdom.”
The God of Deception really was the God of Wisdom!
Marvin’s heart shook!
He got confirmation about this from the Earth Sovereign!
“I believe that Lance and the Wisdom God want to do something, while also hiding it from certain people,” the Earth Sovereign continued, “and thus, as the one holding the 4th Fate Tablet and the Book of Nalu, you are the one he chose. You should be clear about what you have to do.”
Marvin nodded in silence and proceeded with clarifying his thoughts.
Time ticked away, and soon, half an hour passed.
Tiramisu recovered his abilities and the energy that had been depleted somewhat while he was struggling against the pressure of the Earth Essence.
“Let’s go! Let’s tease the Gods!” The Dragon said in high spirits. “I’ll get you to Evil Street!”
Marvin nodded.
Evil Street. Located in the depths of the Abyss, where the next page of the Book of Nalu was waiting!

In fact, it wasn’t difficult to depart for Evil Street.
Of all the places where the remaining pages of the Book of Nalu were scattered, the Abyss was actually the easiest to locate.
Especially since he had a travelling partner that was an Eternal Time Dragon that could travel through space-time, Marvin could easily reach the bottom of the Abyss.
But the problem now was that there were a lot of enemies surrounding the Elemental Plane of Earth.
Although they had failed to catch Marvin a few times, their strength still couldn’t be ignored.
Once they left the Elemental Plane of Earth, their situation would be very dangerous.
“I didn’t expect the Time
Maze to only trap Grant for so long.”
Tiramisu was worried. “The War God is no problem, and the others can’t keep up with my speed, but Grant…”
“I’ll help you stop Grant,” the Earth Sovereign interrupted with a smile. “I can still use a bit of strength in the surroundings of the Elemental Plane of Earth.”
Marvin was very grateful for the help. “You really aren’t afraid that I might be the Destroyer?” he asked.
“It might be possible for Lance, but not for you,” the Earth Sovereign firmly answered. “I can feel your heart, and you don’t have any destructive intent. On the contrary, your willpower lets me know that you only want to protect that which you hold dear.”
Marvin was silent.
The Elemental lifeforms had high spiritual power.
Everything he did was only to protect what he cherished, to protect the people at his side.
So what if people disagreed about whether he was the destroyer? If it wasn’t related to him, he wouldn’t bother to care about it.
…
Since the Earth Sovereign was willing to take care of Grant, it would be a lot easier for Tiramisu to bring Marvin out of the Gods’ siege.
The Dragon opened a passage out of the Elemental Plane of Earth, and it led straight to Ghost Town, which was the location of the Abyss’ Evil Street!
The moment the passage was created, all the Gods got ready.
They were waiting for the commands from the two Great Gods.
The Eternal Time Dragon’s passage couldn’t be destroyed by anyone else. Only Grant and Anubis could take care of it.
But these two Gods didn’t have the chance to do anything.
The Earth Sovereign appeared and restrained Grant while Tiramisu coiled around the War God.
During this time, Marvin jumped into the passage alone, and the passage disappeared in an instant!
The Eternal Time Dragon couldn’t follow him directly, so he would have to deal with the rest on his own!
According to their plan, Tiramisu’s Time Passage should have altered some Time Law and allowed him to arrive at Evil Street half a day earlier!
That would give him have half a day to find the page of the Book of Nalu that was hidden in Evil Street.
The Abyss had no daylight, only a faint bloody light coming from the east.
Evil Street was located in Ghost Town, which was situated under a mountain and seemingly quite desolate.
But when Marvin rushed over and arrived near Ghost Town, a rather familiar Greater Demon was standing outside.
And behind him was an army of Demons!
Demon Lord Balkh!
“You look terrible. I heard you spent a lot of energy in the God Realms. That is something that I definitely do appreciate.”
The Demon Lord glared coldly at Marvin. “If it wasn’t for that matter before, we might have been able to cooperate.”
He was, of course, referring to the matter of Marvin killing his son, Balkh, in the Crimson Wasteland when he destroyed the Abyssal Pond.
Marvin frowned.
He hadn’t thought that the Demons who had never been interested in the Fate Tablet would suddenly interfere.
But when he saw Balkh’s awe-inspiring appearance, he was actually relieved.
He truly had encountered a lot of disasters due to the Fate Tablet, but the one in front of him now was due to a personal vendetta.
By this point, and in fact since long before, Marvin had been considered a famous figure in the whole Universe. Fighting the battle over the Fate Tablet and then wreaking havoc in the God Realms… This caused each and every one of his moves to be scrutinized by everyone.
Like what the Demon Lord Balkh had done, it wasn’t difficult to prepare some surprise for Marvin.
But, despite Balkh’s awe-inspiring display outside the God Realms, Marvin also wasn’t ready to retreat!
Such a joke!
He was now at the Plane Guardian level!
The Dream God, the Black Dragon God, the Queen of Spiders, those three Gods had been together, but they were still easily killed by him!
If he activated Eternal Night Kingdom, a Demon Lord wouldn’t be Marvin’s opponent.
Thus, he only casually said, “Move aside or die, I’m in a hurry.”
…
Balkh was extremely angry, but he wasn’t a fool. After making sure that the Dragon that had shamed the Gods wasn’t there, he calmed down somewhat.
He believed that the reason Marvin had dared to run wild in the God Realms was the presence of that Dragon.
Now that he was alone, how frightening could he be?
But he was only half right.
If it was Marvin before his trip to the God Realms, he definitely couldn’t have been Balkh’s opponent.
But now…
Marvin narrowed his eyes, preparing to activate his Eternal Night Kingdom.
However, just at this time, a large Planar Teleportation Door appeared!
The ground around the Teleportation Door was immediately burnt yellow, with some raging flames spreading across it!
The Demons immediately bellowed!
Because they felt the traces of the Devils that they despised so much!
Marvin froze, and he could suddenly feel that the Imprint from Diross was burning.
“Long time no see, Little Marvin.”
A young man slowly stepped out of the Teleportation Door. He had come to the Abyss alone!
“Diross! You dare to only send an avatar?”
Balkh seemed humiliated.
Who didn’t know of the enmity between Devils and Demons? Diross actually only sent a mere avatar! He was completely looking down on them!
But Diross didn’t even give him a glance!
He only gave Marvin a very warm and gentle look. “Your growth is faster than I had imagined.”
The current Marvin was already on the level of Plane Guardians.
He had very high Perception.
But what surprised Marvin the most was that Diross’ avatar actually had the same strength as him!
Sensing Marvin’s shock, Diross smiled faintly at him. “There are still two layers left in the Nine Hells.”
Others might not have been able to understand the meaning behind this, but Marvin instantly realized what it meant!
When the Scorched Hell first made a move on the Molten Hell, Marvin had gotten an inkling as to Diross’ plans.
But he hadn’t expected Diross’ pace and strength to be so excessive!
Only two layers of the Nine Hells remained.
This was bound to happen!
Since the establishment of the Nine Hells, there had never been one Devil that could unify the Nine Hells!
Could this long-established rule be broken by Diross?
Marvin had very complicated feelings toward Diross.
On one hand, he was his grandfather, and they were blood-related!
On the other hand, from what the former Duke of Lavis had said, his grandfather’s spirit had already been swallowed by the Archdevil. And after that, he had never visited his most loved one.
Why would he have goodwill towards him?
Marvin felt that the most mysterious person in this world was in front of him now.
He had so many questions. For example, what was he doing here now?
…
“We don’t have much time,” Diross slowly said. “Those fools from the God Realms are still not looking at the heart of the problem.”
“They are actually attempting to replace you… Hehe, in the end, this bet is still our win.”
Marvin was a bit at a loss, while Balkh was gradually becoming more and more enraged as he was ignored. He personally advanced with his Demon Army in tow.
Marvin wanted to grab his daggers, but he was suddenly stopped by Diross. “You hurry and gather the pages of the Book of Nalu, you will understand then.”
“As for these stupid Demons… leave them to me.”
As his
voice stopped, a shadow descended from the Scorched Hell and swallowed Balkh and his army!
Marvin no longer hesitated and directly used Endless Path to rush into Ghost Town!
Regardless of what Diross was thinking, he was stopping Balkh for him.
He was right, Marvin truly didn’t have time.
Half a day might not necessarily be enough to find the page of the Book of Nalu in Ghost Town.
If time ran out, those Gods might once again come to stop him.
Marvin sped up as he thought of that.
He soon rushed into that chilly and unfamiliar town.

Ghost Town was a rather famous place.
Even in the bottomless Abyss, this location was considered a nightmarish place for many Demons. Even the powerful Demon Lords might be scared away by the frightening aura of this place.
People said that a True Demon was living in this place.
But the current Marvin already knew that it wasn’t actually a frightening Demon that was hidden there, but rather a page of the Book of Nalu with its own consciousness!
It was said that all those who approached this town would be attracted by a strange power and ultimately arrive at a frightening place.
And that was the Evil Street.
No proper description of the Evil Street existed, because no one was able to come out alive.
Marvin was hit by a chill wind when he entered Ghost Town. It felt as if he was in the Extreme Cold Hell.
The town was completely deserted.
Some howling sounds would come out from the depths of the small town from time to time!
Marvin noticed that many of his abilities were restricted, including Endless Path.
His perception was also restricted to about a hundred meters.
He followed the howling sounds and eventually found a Demon after turning at the corner of a street!
He was crazily tearing apart his own stomach!
Marvin looked at him and noticed a face wickedly laughing.
And that face looked exactly like the Demon’s!
“An illusion?” Marvin frowned. Even though he had lost the system and couldn’t have accurate information, with his Wisdom Ability, False Divine Vessel, and Night Ring, he had long since gained the ability to process information like a computer.
