Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Gene company.

"Have you found out the background of that mysterious person?"

The chairman leaned back in his chair, looking at Karl in front of him.

“Yes.” Carl snapped his fingers.

An information panel popped up.

The chairman quickly glanced at the information panel, then remained silent for a moment: "Star Dragon... Verona's illegitimate son, indeed a member of the Purple Dragon Clan... But I've never heard Harion mention before that their Purple Dragon Clan has such a monstrous talent..."

“He is an illegitimate child after all,” Karl said. “So even if he is very talented, he can only be trained in secret.”

The chairman asked, "Have you found out who the father is?"

“Not yet,” Karl said. “It’s definitely a demon.”

"If he's just a hybrid of the Western Dragon Clan and the Demon Clan, why can he use divine and holy power?" The chairman glanced at him.

Carl: "This..."

"Never mind, we'll talk about this later," the chairman said. "At least we can confirm that his identity is clean and that he's not of unknown origin."

Besides Yege, there are actually people who can possess divine power, holy power, and magical power at the same time, so he definitely has to be careful.

It would be bad if Ye Ge were disguised using a transformation technique.

Night Song is clearly the kind of person who is capable of doing something like this.

"Now that we've confirmed his identity, let's find a way to contact him and meet with him," the chairman said. "Be polite first, then take action, and try to bring him into the company."

Carl said, "The problem is, there's still one more thing."

The chairman asked, "What is it?"

Carl said, "That Star Dragon seems to be heading towards the Bone Rot Swamp. I reckon it's after the Hydra Xiangliu."

The chairman's expression immediately changed: "What?...He already knows the location of the Corpse Swamp?"

“It seems so,” Carl said.

The chairman was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "It seems that he is indeed collecting genetic data of ancient creatures."

Carl shrugged.

"In that case, we should definitely bring him into the company." The chairman said coldly, glancing at Karl. "You go there yourself. Also, bring along the White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Taotie, and Demon who aren't on missions. If he's willing to join, that's great. If he isn't... then we must eliminate him!"

Karl raised an eyebrow slightly, showing that the chairman was indeed taking this matter seriously: "Do we need to use so many powerful experts to deal with a Saint Realm transcendent?"

"Don't forget, he also has a demigod-level weapon, the Demon Sword Ghost Dragon." The chairman said solemnly, "Although we don't know why Ghost Dragon, an ancient demon descendant, would obey the orders of a half-demon hybrid like him, nor do we know how much of Ghost Dragon's power he can unleash, we must be cautious in any case."

Karl: "...Yes."

......

Eastern Frontier, Blackwood Forest.

Night Song controlled the Star Dragon's body, flapping its wings and flying swiftly through the forest, soon arriving at the swamp area.

Blackwood Forest is an extraordinary forest with extremely scarce resources, yet it is home to many ferocious and terrifying beasts. It also boasts a harsh climate, humid and poisonous air, acidic rain, hallucinogenic fog, dangerous swamps, man-eating plants, and other deadly dangers...

Therefore, this area is sparsely populated, and almost no adventurers venture there...

However, at this moment, Ye Ge suddenly heard faint human voices coming from the woods ahead.

"Ok?"

Night Song immediately became alert, folded its wings, and landed on a large tree, calming down and listening intently.

Bai Xueling transformed into a catgirl and squatted down beside him, asking, "What's wrong?"

“There are people ahead,” Ye Ge said. “Strange, in this godforsaken place, who would come here if they didn’t know there was a secret realm instance here… Could it be that the gene company acted faster than us and arrived a step ahead?”

Bai Xueling said, "Why don't we go and see for ourselves?"

“Hmm…” Ye Ge turned his head and looked at Bai Xue Ling: “But before that, you need to disguise yourself first.”

Bai Xueling pouted: "I don't know transformation magic."

"It's alright, I can." Ye Ge clasped his hands together and raised two fingers: "Transform!"

puff--

As a wisp of white smoke dissipated around Bai Xueling, the catgirl girl had completely changed her appearance.

Bai Xueling looked down at herself and was immediately startled.

She found herself dressed in a dark gothic outfit: a black velvet Lolita dress with a cat tail entwined with a silver chain of thorns peeking out from under the skirt, the end of which was adorned with dripping rose crosses. A gothic lace choker accentuated her pale neck, pointed ears stood upright from between black gauze headbands, and her mascara was applied to create a gothic smoky eye look. Her long, silver-white hair cascaded down like a cold moon, with a few strands of jet-black highlights at the ends.

"What is this?!" Bai Xueling asked, embarrassed and annoyed.

"What's wrong?" Ye Ge tilted her head.

Bai Xueling: "Like a primary school student!!!"

Night Song: "No, I think it's quite cute."

"..." Bai Xueling put on a stern face: "Even if they beat you up later, I won't help you."

"You won't." Ye Ge rubbed her head. "I know my Lingling cares about her master the most."

Bai Xueling: "..."

"Shh...it should be just ahead." Night Song said, casting her gaze into the depths of the woods.

Night Song and White Blood Spirit continued forward.

Soon, in the woods ahead near the swamp, they saw at least a dozen figures.

"Not from the gene company?..." Ye Ge murmured to himself.

In the open safe zone ahead, a group of people from all races had gathered.

These people almost all came from the top-ranked races among the myriad races, and their levels and strengths were not low, with the lowest being the peak of the Heavenly Revelation Realm.

A blond, blue-eyed young man of the Holy Elf race was clearly the most popular among these people, and seemed to have the highest status and strength.

"So His Highness Serantis was already aware of the existence of this mysterious realm," a Shadow Clan member said with a smirk.

"It seems you've all been to Tyrannosaurus Rex's tavern too," Serantis chuckled. "I originally thought we had the exclusive information about this secret realm, but I didn't expect to see a few of you here as well. But that's alright. I've heard this secret realm is extremely dangerous, so my suggestion is that we avoid fighting each other and instead team up to explore and find the spiritual treasures. What do you think?"

"Of course, of course..."

"That's what we all think."

"Let alone entering the secret realm, the surrounding forests are so dangerous that it's definitely safer to cooperate."

"Fortunately, His Highness Serantis is here, which has kept us united as one. Otherwise, we would definitely be a disorganized mess."

Several members of the myriad races fawned over Thranduth, emitting insincere and obsequious laughter.

"..."

Ye Ge was speechless.

He originally thought that, apart from himself, there should only be people from the gene company.

Just how many people did Willba give up entry tickets to this dungeon?
