As Fang Ning finished his conversation with the green-skinned frog, it transformed into a yellow light and returned to the Diving Gate.

Sir System said immediately, “Our prize just flew away…”

Fang Ning was speechless. “Only three days have passed of the one-month duration. Brother frog is needed as the gatekeeper. It cannot follow us back now.”

“Oh, that’s understandable.” Sir System replied in satisfaction.

A moment later, everyone looked at the new notification that appeared on the Divine Gate.

“Human race; three have entered, seven are left behind. Progression level is nine.”

Great, someone finally broke the zero progression level.

Which race would be the next one to follow their footsteps?

People started looking at the demons and spirits; two of the big clans with a large number of supporters; and did not bat an eye at the devils which only had a couple of competitors.

Even when they looked at the devils, their eyes were filled with disdain.

At the devils’ assembly point at the South West region of the Divine Gate.

White lady Claudia sensed the despise among their eyes and softly suggested, “Lord Devil, we Heliotropes still have some members left behind on Earth. Should I bring them over to make us more competitive?”

However, the rest understood that she was trying to get people to come and make them look better and larger in size. The other races had thousands of supporters backing them right then.

Compared to them, the fifth-ranked Devil Clan only had a handful and were being looked down at. All of this was because of the man who just walked out of the Divine Gate.

There were many renowned devils that died bt his hand.

If any of the greater devils such as the Devil Lord of Seven Emotions, Insect Devil, Hydra Devil, along with some others were still alive, they could overpower every other race with just any one of them.

She had no idea that someone had already locked onto both the demon and spirit families. That was the only time left for them to be able to gather such crowd… and not long after, they would be wiped out like them.

“Haha, we do not need that many devils with us. One is enough, so long as it is the best of the best.” Zhi Nan could not care less.

Claudia remained silent and looked at the others discussing their strategies. The green-skinned frog had already described the three stages within the Stairway to Heaven. There must be someone among the demons and spirits that understood frog language.

A moment later, Zhi Nan looked to the East, towards the US and said with a smile, “Haha, they found the person that I had in mind. I am leaving for a while. Stay here and don’t do anything.”

Black Robe asked, “Master, do you need me to accompany you?”

“No need to. Just stay here.” Zhi Nan replied and disappeared into thin air.

The Black Robe turned cautious and started observing the movement in its surroundings, especially Vigilante A, who had just walked out from the Divine Gate.

‘This guy is my master’s greatest enemy. He can easily destroy me if I am not paying attention.’

As he was explaining the question asked by the frog to the new disciple who had recently joined his master, he lied about his history with him. Actually, he was a rather new robe that had only been with the devil lord for a short time.

The old robe that stayed by the devil lord for years was destroyed by Vigilante A.

He felt that if he were the old robe, he would be as strong as him.

He understood frog language and relied on the Paradise Realm that had many devil lords residing in it.

However, when he went to the realm, many devils had run away. There was a stupid book that kept chasing after those devils and beating them. Most no longer wanted to remain inside and ran away to keep themselves safe.

The Black Robe thought to himself while looking at his target.

He felt relieved after a moment. The man that he felt threatened by left on a flying sword after speaking with another human.

‘What a weakling. He doesn’t even know how to teleport even if he’s famous… There’s no way he can compare to my master.’

He had no idea what he should be doing next. Maybe he felt that there was no point for him to remain there as he finished his mission.

He felt that he could finally relax for a while. He was not afraid of the other opponents.

…

While the Diving Gate was still open and the competitors were climbing the Stairway to Heaven, the one who opened the gate had run to the other side of the ocean.

Because of the mishandling of the moon crisis, riots had started across America. The area was filled with red dots on the System Map as crimes went rampant across the country.

Inside a tree hut somewhere within the forest area.

Druid Grand Wizard Abraham was welcoming a few special guests.

Among them was the casually-dressed Chief Hook, Jim the black prophet, plus another young white man who looked determined but confused.

Chief Hook said with a straight face, “Master, for the benefit of USA, we have decided to go ahead with the Robocop plan…”

An old skinny white elder stroke his long beard and asked in confusion, “I watched a movie with that name. Are you people planning to use cyborgs to maintain order in the country?”

“Yes, machines can block off invasive magic that can control humans. We can use this as the start and slowly remove those pests that reside inside our country. Plus, master, here’s something you might not know…”

“What?” Grand Wizard Abraham asked.

“The famous Pharos of the East is actually a cyborg from the Dragon Clan!”

Chief Hook just said something shocking.

“What!” the Grand Wizard, who was usually calm, was surprised by the news.

“How is this possible?” He said to himself, “He is the strongest person in the world now. Why is he related to modern technology?”

Chief Hook explained, “We found this out after analyzing his battle recordings in detail…”

…

Grand wizard Abraham reluctantly accepted their view after a series of explanations.

He suddenly realized what they were planning. “So you people want to follow in his footsteps and replicate the success of the Dragon Clan, but do you have the technology they have? They are a large clan in the Upper Realm and have the ability to combine both human technology and cultivation powers together. We don’t have such a thing here.”

“Haha, we wouldn’t be able to if this were a few years ago. Even though we had a similar idea back then, we can’t combine two elements that are completely different together. However, the time has come, and we have recruited the help from a saint. Plus, we have also managed to find a highly talented and determined man with the most suitable body build for this job. This is him, Arthur Dulwich.

The young man stood up after Chief Hook finished his words. He was prideful.

“So what is the point of you visiting me?” Grand wizard Abraham began to have an inkling of what they were planning.

“Haha, you should have already known by now, master. The process of mixing machines and life is complicated. Only a Grand Wizard that specializes in the laws of nature, like yourself, can help us ensure that the end product is flawless.”

“This is a betrayal of nature.” Grand Wizard shook his head and replied, “This is disobeying my path. I am sorry, but I cannot help you.”

Chief Hook did not try to argue with him. Instead, he signaled for Jim to come forward.

Jim took out his crystal ball and projected the future of the USA.

The future was chaotic and brutal. Demons and devils were the dominant species and the government had no power fighting back, dead bodies were strewn across the landscape…

The Grand Wizard sighed after looking at the images and said, “Fine, this might be the only way to regain our dominance. I can help with the planning, but where is the saint you were talking about.”

“Haha, I am here.” Zhi Nan appeared in the hut.

The Grand Wizard frowned and harnessed the power of nature. He sensed that the man in front of him was not with a kind heart.

He thought for a moment before standing up and said thankfully, “So you are the great saint from the Upper Realm. How great of you to move across both realms and travel so far to help with our plan. What’s driving you to work so hard? I am very impressed…”

Chief Hook started having goosebumps. He knew that this Grand Wizard had no idea who this devil lord was, since he lived in isolation.

However, he must have realized something was wrong with this person using his ability, and was now trying to probe further.

He was not going to let the deal fall through. He coughed and said immediately, “Grand Wizard, the Stairway to Heaven is currently open. Vigilante A has already completed three stages and has taken away the rewards according to what we know. If we are to defeat them in this competition, we need to rely on this Robocop plan…”

Abraham was not surprised by the news and replied calmly, “This should be good since all of the human race would benefit, including the US. They never were our true enemies, so what is the point of defeating them?”

“We are the only suitable country to lead the world. Those in China have a penchant for recklessness. If the world is to fall into their hands, the future will be grim.” Chief Hook said firmly.

“Hmph, at least it will be better than falling into the hands of devils and spirits…” the Grand Wizard replied.

“Haha, looks like you have an opinion of who I am.” Zhi Nan said.

“No, no. I am grateful for your efforts in helping us. Why should I hold an opinion of you?” the Grand Wizard understood the difference in their power and quickly refuted the idea.

“If that is the case, we can start our plan now, Mr. Hook. It will only take three days before you get the first cyborg in your arsenal, and I can guarantee it will not be any worse than Vigilante A.”

Zhi Nan said calmly, but he was laughing deep down.

‘Vigilante A, I cannot stop you in your Path of Heavenly Punishment, but I can destroy you still!

‘Plus, this impromptu plan is in line with what I want to achieve. I can kill two birds with one stone.

‘With the technology of the USA and my Paradise realm, my dream will remain a dream no longer,.’
