I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

A threat worthy of the Sun God's attention?

Even for Cao Yan, these words carried significant weight. As a citizen of the ancient Gurama Empire, her view of the gods differed from that of people in any other era. These deities were more like allies than religious figures to Gurama. Even though that was likely humanity's strongest and most prosperous era, the most powerful gods at the time were only at the peak of Tier VI.

In reality, the number of humans and their average mental strength were sufficient for the gods to reach Tier VII, but unfortunately, most people in the empire lacked faith. They valued science and art more than religion. Many people back then could even be called scholars or artists in the present era, so the people of the empire only had respect for nature and other living beings, not awe.

Precisely for this reason, that era could be said to be the most tragic for the gods. After everyone became enlightened, these powerful beings who had once ruled over countless generations of humans were ultimately suppressed by their former worshippers.

And for this reason, even the Sun God dislikes His former title in the Pantheon.

But now is no longer the Gurama era.

Cao Yan was well aware of how dangerous the god before her was. She would not underestimate this deity simply because the empire in the Gurama period had the upper hand when dealing with these gods. Moreover, most Gurama citizens and gods at the time were unaware that this leader of the gods was also one of the masterminds behind the Pantheon Project.

He and the Gurama Empire jointly found a suitable position for the gods in that era and was not influenced by his arrogance as a deity, consciously yielding the stage to humanity itself.

Because Selaen was well aware that the gods would eventually rise again.

And this god hardly regarded anything as a so-called threat. Perhaps the Gurama Empire was also a threat in his eyes before the Pantheon was established, but after he completed the Pantheon, he basically didn't worry or care about the danger from the Gurama Empire. That was the only problem that Selaen personally solved at that time.

But now he had come to the Eastern Federation. Although this was also because they were imprisoned after the Titan era, and very few gods could leave the Southern Federation, he would only send his minions to solve "ordinary" serious problems, after all, Selaen himself didn't have much power outside the Southern Federation.

"In this day and age, what threats could still worry you?" Cao Yan asked out of curiosity, "If I remember correctly, you didn't seem to regard that cage as a threat before."

Selaen calmly affirmed:

"The cage they built will collapse sooner or later. I can only influence the timing, but sooner or later doesn't make much difference to me. I know I will eventually return to my divine position."

Cao Yan said with strong anticipation:

"So what exactly brought you here?"

She didn't really think Selaen would answer this question, after all, her current situation was not even as good as these imprisoned gods. They couldn't have any meaningful impact on each other.

But Selaen really answered her question, and she understood the reason when she heard the answer.

"Ma En." The Sun God spoke a mortal's name, "I am using him to find something that is also a threat to us gods, that is why I came here personally."

This answer was beyond Cao Yan's expectations, but it also seemed reasonable. This former patient of hers had entered her dream not long ago, but she couldn't fulfill the contract to provide him with any help.

At that time, Cao Yan was somewhat curious and concerned about this mortal, but she didn't expect that the next time she heard news of him, it would be from this ancient and powerful god.

"I've met him," Cao Yan said. "Although he is a bit strange, according to my observation, he is just a relatively ordinary ability user. There's no need for you to come here personally for such a thing."

Selaen agreed with some of her points:

"It is very possible that Ma En is just a mortal who can be easily dealt with, someone my people can easily solve.

"But I don't intend to give him any chances."

This was indeed the Sun God she knew. Just like when he took the initiative to give up the dominant position of the gods and jointly established the Pantheon with them in order to coexist peacefully with Gurama, this god could always solve dangers in advance.

Although the gods were a very difficult race to kill, and probably nothing could really kill them now, it was not so difficult to briefly put them to sleep and reshape their personalities, but Selaen had never died.

He existed before the rise of the Gurama Empire, and he was still alive after the destruction of Gurama. Most of the gods who were in the Pantheon with him had already experienced several sleeps, only he had existed forever.

And now she understood why to some extent.

So the Ma En who was in the same ward as herself back then really had some special secret. Considering that he entered her dream some time ago, maybe he deliberately approached her at that time.

In other words, she did have some information about Ma En.

"I want to know what kind of person Ma En is," Selaen said, "And have you noticed anything unusual about him staying here for so long?"

Cao Yan replied:

"I did notice him, and there are some noteworthy things about him, but…

"I don't plan to tell you."

Selaen was somewhat surprised by this. Cao Yan could indeed hide Ma En's affairs from him, because he couldn't do anything to this King of the Undead, but after all, he and Cao Yan were relatively equal beings. People like Ma En were more like another race to them.

And as far as he knew, this King of the Undead was often happy to answer other people's requests. Although she was more friendly to humans than other races, she shouldn't have any special malice towards the gods.

But he didn't ask the reason, but said directly:

"We can make a deal or hold a ceremony. Is there anything you want to get?"

Cao Yan replied somewhat indifferently:

"You can't give me what I want."

Although the life and death and fate of Ma En were not important to her at all, the fact that he suddenly appeared in her dream made her a little concerned, so she decided not to tell Selaen what she knew.

Anyway, she can't die.

Selaen pondered for a few seconds, then said calmly:

"I understand."

Selaen didn't think he could persuade the King of the Undead to change her mind, but her answer itself already meant that Ma En did have something unusual in her eyes. As for whether she answered his question, it was not so important.

Because no matter which side she stood on, she couldn't stop him from digging out Ma En's secret.
