Chapter 814: Chapter 807: Action

Hearing Griffin’s words, the seated crowd fell into a brief silence.

"In fact, this is indeed something everyone here wants to do. However, you should be even more aware than we are of the ’unspoken rules’ of Chaotic Paradise," Xingyang Zhenming, the third-ranked expert on the overall leaderboard and top master of the Red Moon Civilization, spoke calmly from the number three seat.

"That’s right. The so-called Chaotic Paradise may seem devoid of rules on the surface, but in reality, we all know that countless eyes are watching us from above. They observe everything in this Leyuan. They are the ones truly in control, and we must follow their rules.

"In their eyes, to those rapidly rising, unparalleled geniuses, we are merely the whetstones they’ve cultivated. Standing tall within Chaotic Paradise, we are nothing more than the ’hurdles’ left for those geniuses to overcome. If we were to truly unite, you should know the consequences. The eyes behind the scenes wouldn’t allow us to run amok like this," Kan Kun, a ferocious-looking humanoid monster in the second seat, said slowly.

"If you have a way to withstand the pressure from above, we certainly wouldn’t mind cooperating. As long as our original interests are preserved, taking orders from you isn’t completely out of the question," a bizarre, blood-red humanoid standing less than a meter tall spoke in a shrill voice from the fifth seat.

Everyone’s gaze turned once again to the figure sitting in the seat of honor, seemingly shrouded in mist.

No one could deny that this man was a formidable figure.

He had no illustrious background or bloodline. He had walked his path step by step, relying entirely on himself. By delving into the most difficult and obscure Runes, he had climbed his way to his current position.

Yet, he still could not break the rules.

How could penned pigs and sheep ever rebel against the rules set by their master?

"I know what you are thinking. But since I proposed this suggestion, I naturally possess the ability to carry it out," Griffin said indifferently.

HUM!!

Immediately after, the entire conference room began to shake violently as a terrifying aura instantly erupted.

Originally, Griffin had been like a cloud of mist; no one could truly discern his strength. But now, it seemed they could finally sense the tip of the iceberg of his power.

The mist shrouding his body showed signs of thinning, and a pure white arm slowly reached out from within.

The hand raised a single finger. Complex Runes instantly surged and condensed at Griffin’s fingertip. It was as if there were a near-infinite expanse of space there—no matter how many Runes flowed into it, it would never overflow.

The finger tapped lightly at the air.

CRACK!! CRACK!!

Centering on the finger, the very space within the room actually fractured into spiderweb-like cracks. It seemed as though space itself was being torn apart.

The terrifying might flashed past. Everyone present felt their pupils shrink drastically. In that brief moment, they felt an overwhelming sense of dread, realizing that even being grazed by those spatial cracks would bring immense trouble.

And this was merely a casual display of his strength.

They thought in shock, "Just what level has his strength reached, considering no one has seen him make a move in so many years?! Could it be?!"

The expressions of everyone looking at Griffin had completely changed. Recalling the proposal he had just made, certain speculations had already begun to form in their minds.

"Could it be that you..." Kan Kun, ranked second on the overall leaderboard, narrowed his eyes at Griffin.

"That’s right. I have one more piece of news to share at this meeting, and that is: I have touched that boundary."

Griffin slowly retracted his finger, and his body was once again enveloped in mist. No more oppressive aura leaked out.

They thought, "Just as we expected..."

The crowd’s gazes shifted entirely. They knew exactly what that boundary represented.

The Third layer Transformation Boundary.

Back on the Gena Continent, Zhou Yuanjue had once asked Modin what the highest Transformation Level record was in the entire East Thirteen Districts.

Modin’s answer had been three hundred percent.

In reality, this answer was not entirely accurate. To be precise, it referred to someone who had broken through the Third layer Transformation Boundary and was currently caught between the Third layer Transformation Boundary and the fourth layer Transformation Boundary.

In the history of the East Thirteen Districts, candidates who could break through the Third layer Transformation Boundary were exceedingly rare. Once they achieved this feat, as long as they didn’t fall midway, they would eventually become illustrious figures.

The dividing line between a supreme genius and an unparalleled prodigy was the Third layer Transformation Boundary.

For over a thousand years, not a single existence had managed to break through the Third layer Transformation Boundary in the entirety of Chaotic Paradise. Even those capable of merely touching the Third layer Transformation Boundary were incredibly few and far between.

And now, Griffin had already reached this realm. He had the opportunity to become an existence that broke through the Third layer Transformation Boundary.

This possibility alone made his value entirely different from before.

In other words, his "weight" in the eyes of those behind the scenes had already exceeded that of a top organization’s leader.

It might even be higher than those so-called supreme geniuses.

Being able to reach this point step by step was equally unimaginable. One had to know that the Transformation Boundary was inextricably linked to Talent and comprehension. Sometimes, it wasn’t a matter of how long someone engaged in Cultivation; time alone didn’t guarantee advancement or pushing closer to the limit.

Possessing such a status, Griffin naturally achieved a transcendence of his past authority in the eyes of those behind the scenes, granting him the right to take more unorthodox actions.

Such as his current proposal.

"Everyone, I have revealed my trump card to you. The reason I brought up this proposal now is because my strength has progressed. I believe that with me taking the lead, it should alleviate many of your concerns," Griffin said indifferently to the crowd.

"If that’s the case, this matter has absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain for our Star Beast Organization. Were it not for the restrictions of the rules, I would have wanted to do something like this long ago. I suppose I have no reason to refuse," Kan Kun, the leader of the Star Beast Organization, said, a ferocious smile curling his lips.

"I have no objections either," Xingyang Zhenming, ranked third on the overall leaderboard, said calmly.

The rest of the crowd also slowly expressed their agreement.

After all, they had long felt an Absolute hatred for the unspoken rules that bound them. Given the chance to rebel, no one was willing to pass it up.

Moreover, sniping those geniuses who refused to "fall in line" held extraordinary significance in stabilizing their respective organizations’ interests.

"Excellent. Since everyone agrees, our continent-wide operation will begin today.

"We will personally handle Bing Zhiyue and her group. As for the rest of those so-called geniuses, if they are unwilling to join our ranks and become one of us...

"...then let them experience the endless Reincarnation of Fuhuo Square."
