Desert Plane.

This is an insignificant small plane, unknown to anyone, where two visitors from an alien world meet for the second time in a certain corner, a certain cavern of the plane.

"You’re here."

"It’s been a while since we met. How’s everything on your side?"

"Everything’s fine, Rainbow Domain, Truth City, Botta Blood Plain, above and below ground, the ladies, children, sorcerers, Black Star Army, people and things are as usual."

"Right, with you guarding the Dragon Pan Throne, no one would dare to be reckless. That’s good, that’s good."

The visitors were Jenny and Locke, having not met for many years. Both were not physically present but were projecting a strand of Divine Thought through a Secret Technique, appearing just like real people.

After some brief pleasantries, the two fell silent.

This was probably the last recent meeting for the two; the next time, who knows how long it would be, perhaps a century, or three to four hundred years, or even longer.

"Jenny, has the boss contacted----"

"No!"

"Alas!"

Locke’s expression turned a bit dejected, and he couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

Jenny chose to turn a blind eye: "If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave."

"Wait."

"Is there something else?"

"Have you---- made up your mind?"

"I made up my mind long ago, and I’ll proceed with the division once I return."

"I am soon to follow, just a few days later than you."

"Wish you luck!"

"Wish us luck!"

Both understood that, according to previous agreements, to achieve better growth and gain more powerful abilities, they would soon abandon their ’One Body Three Manifestations’ identity and embark on another unknown path.

As the copies meant to dedicate everything to the original self, taking the initiative to sever ties with the original, how they would turn out was uncertain.

Their emotions were not as calm as they seemed; perhaps it was unease and confusion, the closer they got to giving up, the more so, that’s why they hurriedly met one last time.

Indeed, after a few simple words, they both felt inexplicably more at ease.

Time came to a month later.

Danaila Plane, the fifth layer of the Underworld - Fangyu Paradise, today, many core members of the Earth Core Lineage gathered in the paradise, all with solemn expressions, including the Dark Night Mother Goddess.

"Sea Mother, Dragon Pan, come with me."

Under the enthusiastic gaze of the crowd, the Dark Night Mother Goddess glanced around and said flatly.

This statement provoked the discontent of the Thousand Claw Throne: "Wait a minute, I have objections."

"Speak."

"Nothing to say about Sea Mother, I admit defeat, but for Dragon Pan, why? Talk about qualifications, talk about dedication, talk about contribution, in which aspect am I, Thousand Claw, inferior to her? You can’t be too partial, my Lilabet."

"I agree, no matter how much Lilabet favors her, how can she be so biased in the matter of maternal inheritance? Forgive me, I cannot agree."

The words of Thousand Claw Throne received support from War Fire beside him.

The Earth Core Lineage originated from the great Mother of Earth Core - Claudia Althrop, and has developed six core high-level members to date, namely, Dark Night Mother Goddess, Sea Mother, Golden Wutong, Thousand Claw, War Fire, Dragon Pan.

Dark Night Mother Goddess Lilabet had already reached Supreme Realm, while the others were rulers of their respective thrones.

The throne is naturally less prestigious than the Supreme, but Thousand Claw and War Fire couldn’t care less to fight for the most core hereditary power of the Earth Core Lineage.

They wanted to advance as well, and now, if they didn’t stand up, it would be too late.

"What else?"

"What?"

"What else do you want to say, don’t hold back, say everything today, let everyone hear clearly, so you’re not always whispering behind my back."

The Dark Night Mother Goddess maintained a stern face but didn’t bother with the discourtesy of the two, indicating they should go on speaking.

Facing the deep gaze of the Dark Night Mother Goddess made War Fire somewhat intimidated, but he forced himself to speak: "I’m not being unreasonable here; Dragon Pan’s throne has its heart elsewhere and hasn’t fully committed to our lineage, that’s correct, isn’t it?"

Sea Mother hurriedly replied: "Wrong, wrong, Dragon Pan has already completely severed ties with the other side and formally returned to our Earth Core Lineage."

"Who can prove it? Anyway, I don’t believe it."

"Me neither."

War Fire and Thousand Claw, of course, wouldn’t let it go.

"I can prove it."

"You----"

Upon hearing this, War Fire was about to refute instinctively, but seeing the speaker was the Dark Night Mother Goddess, the words got stuck in his throat, making his face redden with frustration.

He became more discontented inside, as this was clearly blatant favoritism.

"Even so, she has just officially joined our lineage, having made no contributions; how does she qualify to inherit the mother’s strongest power?" Seeing War Fire speechless, Thousand Claw quickly chimed in.

War Fire kept nodding.

Seeing this, the Dark Night Mother Goddess coldly smiled: "No contributions? Are you sure?"

"We admit, Sorcerer Marichadon indeed contributed a lot in retrieving the Fang Yu Map, but he has since been expelled from the Danaila by Great Heavenly Mother, and everything from the past has been wiped away, having no relation with us Danaila people anymore.

Standing here today, what does his past achievement have to do with Dragon Pan now!"

"Thousand Claw Throne, have you forgotten past wounds? Turns out you’re an ungrateful person! Good, excellent, our Earth Core Lineage is truly full of talents."

Before retrieving the Fang Yu Map, every core member of the Earth Core Lineage suffered from injuries that couldn’t be cured. The ancient wounds were completely healed not long ago thanks to the power of Fang Yu Map.

This fact should make the Earth Core Lineage full of gratitude.
