Clemente didn't answer. Instead, he looked at Joelson and asked, "Joelson, if you're not in a hurry, let's wait here for everyone to arrive and set off together."
"Has the tomb of the sovereign been opened?" Joelson didn't answer. Instead, he asked back.
Clemente shook his head and said, "Not yet. We set off ahead of schedule. The tomb of the sovereign still needs three more days before it can be fully opened."
"If that's the case, then I don't mind."
Joelson nodded slightly.
Clemente looked at the receptionist and smiled. "Let's all set off together."
"Yes, Lord Clemente."
The receptionist looked at Clemente and Joelson as he spoke, his gaze filled with gratitude.
Although Clemente was the empire's number one genius, he was extremely amiable. It was also because of this that Clemente was the idol of the younger generation of the entire Orencia Empire. Even other geniuses viewed him as their target and role model, he was not their opponent.
The reception was even more astonished by the attitude of Joelson.
Although he did not head to the Imperial City Plaza to watch the competition, he had seen the situation described by the others.
He had thought that Joelson was an extremely arrogant fellow but he had not expected him to be so easy to talk to.
The reception could not help but think of the other arena lords. He shook his head slightly, disappointment appearing in his eyes.
The strength of those fellows was far inferior to the two absolute geniuses from the Orencia Empire but their attitude was much more arrogant than the two of them.
Joelson, Clemente, Toby, and Edessa entered the room with the teleportation array.
There were already five qualified arena lords waiting here.
When Joelson and the other three entered, the five of them were still grumbling, complaining about why empire geniuses like them had to wait for others to come and set off together.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64ce79d606107d003c23ea27", id: "pf-5140-1"})"Lord Clemente!"
When the five of them saw that Joelson and Clemente had arrived, they immediately stopped grumbling.
"You guys use the teleportation array first. We'll leave right away!" One of them said.
As they spoke, the five of them stood up and walked out of the door.
"No need. We have to wait for the others to set off together as well."
Clemente called out to them and said with a smile.
Their footsteps froze, and their entire bodies froze on the spot, revealing astonished expressions.
The number one genius of the Orencia Empire and the new super-genius who defeated the number one genius had to wait for the others to arrive?
Who were they?
They had actually been complaining that their treatment was too poor.
What a joke!
Thinking of this, a look of shame flashed across their eyes.
They all lowered their heads and returned to their original seats.
When Joelson saw this scene, he did not find it strange that Clemente had such high popularity in the Orencia Empire.
When an ordinary person was friendly to others, everyone would feel that this was normal.
However, when a super-genius was friendly to others, everyone would feel that his character was extremely noble.
Not long after, the other three ringmasters arrived.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})In addition to the two ringmasters that Joelson had obtained.
Everyone was present.
The teleportation array to the tomb of the sovereign was activated.
...
It seemed like a long time had passed, but it also seemed like an instant.
Under this strange feeling, everyone was teleported to a distant place in the slaughter plane.
Joelson opened his eyes. The scene in the room was almost exactly the same as the previous room.
It was as if he was still in his original position.
If it wasn't for this slight difference in the room, perhaps he would have truly believed that this was still the same room as before.
Just as everyone finished their teleportation, the door to the room was opened.
An early-stage god expert stood at the door and said, "Everyone who has obtained the right to enter the tomb of the sovereign, you have arrived at your destination."
After speaking, the god turned to leave, but suddenly, he discovered something.
"Lord Clemente?"
Clemente nodded slightly. He didn't know this god.
Almost everyone in the Orencia Empire knew him, but it was impossible for him to know everyone.
Seeing Clemente nod, the god bowed respectfully. "Lord Clemente, if you don't know the location of the tomb of the sovereign, I am willing to lead the way for you."
The god's attitude was extremely respectful. Although Clemente was only a peak demigod...
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})In terms of power, Clemente was even more powerful than him, an early stage god!
And not to mention his status, even an ordinary highgod wouldn't be able to compare to Clemente's status!
Not to mention that he was just a puny early-stage god.
Clemente shook his head. Laughing, he said, "Thank you for your kindness but there's no need. We can go by ourselves. You can continue with your work."
"Let's go, Clemente."
As he spoke, Joelson walked out.
Clemente and the others followed him out as well.
Upon seeing this, a puzzled look appeared in the god's eyes.
He wondered who this early stage demigod was?
Even the prince of the royal family of Orencia wouldn't be able to speak so casually to Clemente.
Suddenly, he thought of something. His eyes widened as he stared in the direction in which the others had disappeared, his gaze filled with shock.
Could this be the supreme genius who had defeated Clemente?
"How is this possible?"
The god called out in disbelief.
The city he was in was right next to the sovereign's tomb. Outside the borders of the Orencia Empire, it was a public area belonging to the Slaughter Divine Kingdom and the four divine kingdoms. Thus, the news of Clemente's defeat was transmitted very slowly.
When he heard the news, he was very disdainful.
In his opinion, there was no genius in the Orencia Empire that could compare to Clemente.
Not to mention a new genius that he had never heard of!
Clemente defeated?
It was simply laughable!
However, as the news grew more and more, even he gradually began to believe it.
There were even people in his remote city who made a special trip to the Imperial Capital, wanting to see what kind of person had defeated Clemente.
Ten days had passed since the people who had gone to the Imperial Capital, but they hadn't returned. This caused him to question the news of Clemente's defeat, feeling that this might be a lie.
Otherwise, why had the people who had gone to the Imperial Capital not returned after ten days?
This could only mean that they hadn't been able to find this so-called genius who had defeated Clemente at all.
Thinking of this, the god shook his head, as though wanting to toss this thought out of his mind.
How could anyone possibly defeat Clemente?
An early-stage demigod was even more impossible!
Perhaps it was because Clemente was a very close friend, a very familiar friend.
Right at this moment.
The room within the teleportation array once more lit up, and then quickly extinguished.
Before the god could open the door, an excited and exhilarated shout came from within the room.
"I've waited ten days and, finally, I've seen that legendary genius!"
The god's hand, which had been preparing to open the door, froze, his entire body frozen in place.
"That genius is actually only at the early stage of the demigod level! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have dared to believe it!"
The god's hand dropped down, and his pupils suddenly constricted, as though he had just heard the world's greatest secret.
After a long time, the god finally reacted, revealing a bitter smile.
