All this messy situation was digging a bottomless pit for the young man.
"Is he already here?" Atlas asked in a nervous tone.
"No... but soon enough, he will come here to seek revenge. Your true identity is safe now, but it will not take long for him to discover that you came from a small village of the west..."
Oakur's words were such a huge shock.
In the end, someone found out about him.
Could other people know about that?
The situation kept growing bothersome, and Atlas started thinking about what to do next. He wasn't scared of his people because they could easily handle a bunch of stupid bandits and even more. But undoubtedly, those annoying flies would have hindered his freedom to a large degree if he hadn't told his grampa the truth.
Oakur noticed his troubled expression, yet Atlas's enemies were beyond what he could help. Well, he could help, but was it worth it to use all his resources and forces just for him? Currently, no, but who could tell in the future?
There was a brief silence until Oakur spoke: "Like I told you, I can't help you directly against them, but if you need, I can hide your gramps in a safe place. As for you... you should go to the South and participate in the entrance selections for the Minosir Cretion Divine Sect. They will protect you well with your pure Divine Chaotical Core. With this Sect Master Token, most of your problems will be solved."
Hearing his words, Atlas moved and sure appreciated his helping hand more than ever.
It was evident that Oakur knew a lot about him, but he didn't hesitate to help him in other ways.
Anyway, that token was so precious that Atlas snatched that, too, from his hands.
"It's a good opportunity. I'll think about that. About my grandparents... I'm not sure they will accept it, but I will try."
Soon, another brief moment of silence descended, but it didn't last long as Atlas's mind couldn't help but seek out answers: "May I ask you why did you truth Old Val so much? Why did you two send me to such a place? Why did you trust me so much? There should be a reason, right?"
"Hehehe..." Oakur smiled back strangely and asked instead of answering: "Well... why don't you tell me how you saved my daughter from such a hellish place? Some time ago, I lost contact with her Soul Compass. I almost had a heart attack that time. But then, not even an hour ago, she appeared magically in this city... So, what's going on?"
'Fuck... This old fox...' Atlas thought for a brief second and then replied, embarrassed not wanting to remain there for a more minute: "Hmm... it's getting late. I should go back and warn my family about the current situation."
Seeing Atlas's current expression, Oakur smiled craftily: "It's still midday... Why don't you stay a little longer? We could chat about..."
"No!! I'm worried about the Bloody Butcher of Saints... maybe next time, okay?" Atlas stood up and was ready to leave, but Oakur was a tenacious interlocutor: "Hey... what about my daughter?"
Atlas halted briefly and looked at him strangely: "What are you talking about?"
Suddenly, Oakur's expression turned dark, and his smile changed into a more dangerous one: "Well... you kept my unconscious daughter for so long. Who knows what you did to her... Did you touch her body? Or you did even more?"
"Nonsense... I'm not such a guy!" Atlas said with his most angry expression. Atlas tried to hide his embarrassment, but suddenly her devilish figure erupted from his memories, making his cheek turn slightly red.
Her enchanting face...
Her round and surely soft mounds...
And those long legs with the precious heavenly land between those breathtaking thighs...
It was a brutal scene for his young and starving heart.
Clearly, he couldn't tell Rose's father that he saw her perfect body without a cloth, so he tried to hide his expression with the utmost attention.
"Really... so I should just trust your words? But what about my daughter's purity? If people know about this matter, who will ever marry her?"
Those words were quite dangerous, and Atlas wanted to run away even faster: "Then... don't let anyone know about it, and all will be fine!"
"Sure... but I know it. Elisabeth knows it, and Old Val will probably also discover it, so it's a tricky situation. Why don't you take re..."
Oakur couldn't finish his speech because Atlas was already at the entrance door.
He ran away so fast that even Oakur was surprised for a while, but he didn't stop him and instead started laughing like a fool.

Inside a vast hall in the city of the Inflamed Chalice...
"City Lord... Atlas is back!"
Umbriel appeared out of one of the many dark corners and reported.
"What? How is that possible?"
"Our spies didn't know about it. We only discovered that he came from the Main Teleportation Formation area..."
The City Lord pondered for a while and then spoke: "So... he failed... What a pity."
"City Lord... actually, he brought back Oakur's daughter safely. She is just a little exhausted, but everything seems fine."
This information brought him a shock that couldn't be described.
In fact, it took him a while to recover.
"So a puny Descendant Chaos Realm guy survived those terrifying waters... that's unbelievable... This means that he is truly one of them."
The City Lord was shocked, but the surprises weren't over.
"Actually... he is even stronger now. He reached the Peak Stage of the Descendant Chaos Realm. It's so shocking that even I couldn't believe it."
"Hmm..." The City Lord was silent because the information was too much even for him.
Going from the Initial to the Peak Stage in such a short time was impossible for an average cultivator.
He undoubtedly found some precious treasure there, but the City Lord wasn't jealous about it but excited because this only shows that his decision was correct.
"Where is he now?"
"He went back to the West Continent..."
"Perfect... this is not the safest place for him... Tell everything to my daughter, and remember her about our deal."
Umbriel left immediately, but suddenly, Kason came out from another corner.
"City Lord... The sentinels we sent inside the ancient site are back..."
The City Lord couldn't endure anymore and stood up from his tone: "Why did they take so long? What happened?"
"About that, they were trapped by a powerful array, but strangely, this morning, its power expires for unknown reason..."
"Could exist such an absurd coincidence? He came back, and our research gave the result... is this young man the reason for this?"
Kason let him mumble and then continued: "There is more. From the sentinels' account, we found out that the ancient site is related to a Progenitor."
"What did you say??"
