"Little sister, why have you come here today?"

A familiar young man looked toward Aritzia's beautiful figure with a doting expression that still somehow bordered on indifference. Those who knew him knew that this about as much love and affection he could show, even his parents weren't worthy of seeing this expression from him. Only his little sister had such a privilege.

This man was none other than the current key wielder of the Sapientia Quadrant, and also the man who called the meeting the Guild Heads all those years ago to introduce Clara's Sapientia Network.

Back then, he had shown a dislike for the secrecy of Clara's identity. Even to this day he didn't know much about her. This made him uncomfortable to the point where it felt as though he had a perpetual fishbone stuck in his throat. But Clara seemed to disappear without a trace too often.

"Are you aware of what happened on the celestial tier just moments ago?" Aritzia asked lightly.

The world was often confused by Aritzia. Everyone knew that she was far more talented and intelligent than her elder brother. By all rights, she shouldn't even be on the saint floors anymore. Yet, not only was she still on a floor inferior to her strength, but she willingly gave up the Key to her brother.

That said, while this was a secret that baffled the martial world, those of the Sapientia Family knew very well what the reason behind these things were.

"Is that arrogant Emytheus still causing problems for little sister?" The young man's golden eyes flickered with a slight amused light as he pretended not to know what Aritzia was referring to.

"Primus, be serious." Aritzia rolled her eyes.

Primus pretended to be offended. "Am I not allowed to ask about the men on my little sister's husband candidate short list?"

"There are more serious matters at hand."

"More serious than my sister's happiness? Ridiculous.

"This Emytheus has been performing decently. His Brotherhood group is a bit lacking, but they have excellent potential. I also don't believe he'll stay idle during this war. There's quite a bit of pressure on True God Sacharro, hm?"

"A futile effort…" Aritzia said absentmindedly.

"Is there such a need to be so harsh on him? Let him struggle while he can, a man must have his pride, after all. You of all people should understand that sentiment considering you saved this elder brother's face by handing me this throne to sit on."

Why was the Sapientia able to keep control of so many things for so long? It was precisely because hidden talents like Emytheus were all snatched up by them.

With Emytheus' pride, he would never marry into the Sapientia Family. He had every intention of surpassing the Sapientia and one day snatching Aritzia away. But, only those who were as high in the hierarchy as Aritzia and her brother Primus knew how futile such a thing was. Emytheus was doomed to fail like all those before him. His hopes and dreams would come crashing down and he would obediently enter the Sapientia Clan and be wed to Aritzia.

"… Speaking of which." Primus suddenly said after a moment of silence. "Have you already given up on the second candidate? That masked wife stealer."

"He doesn't meet the requirements anymore." Aritzia said blandly. "He should have what remains of the Elves backing him. That much became clear after his wife was exposed as the Elvin Queen. Even if the Elves are a shell of what they once were, there's no reason for our family to poke a slumbering bear for one masked wife stealer."

"Hoho, you say this, but I bet you've only given up so easily because his face is covered with a mask. How could you put in so much effort when you don't know whether your potential husband is handsome enough or not?"

Aritzia rolled her eyes. Even she found it creepy how her elder brother could make such lighthearted jokes with that stone-cold face.

"There's something more, though." Aritzia said.

"Oh?"

"Mm. I began monitoring the Water Mist Sect after Alexandria completed her celestial tribulation."

Primus raised an eyebrow. "You're not one to waste resources on useless things."

"Originally, I hadn't planned on it…" Aritzia said slowly. "… But two things spurred by decision.

"First, the Sapientia Network. Because of it, it's become incredibly easy for us to covertly monitor Clans without their knowledge. They believe that they can still control how much we know, when in fact, that isn't the case. Though, I don't dare to be so brazen with the Star, Five Blade, and Drago-Qilin Quadrants, the Water Mist Sect is merely a speck of dust in a brutal storm. They'll lose their top 9 spot to the Emperor Giant Clan soon, it's only a matter of time… "

Primus nodded slightly, waiting for his little sister to finish.

"The second reason is the true reason I decided to proceed forward. It's a mystery that surrounds the Dark Ocean. You know as well as me how many eyes have been on it… Such a den of resources is something that no one can ignore… Especially a Clan who's looking to revitalize themselves."

"You mean?" Primus' eyes sharpened.

"It's far deeper than even you think." Aritzia said. "According to our records, the patterns of attack found in the Dark Ocean are almost identical to what one might expect from Rainbow Kun Peng beasts. And…"

"The Rainbow Kun Peng were one of the primary beast companions of the elves!" The light in Primus' eyes shone through fiercely.
