Chapter 313: The Ultimate Quest!

Tony Clark stood perfectly still amidst the rubble, his hands casually tucked into the pockets of his dark hunting cloak with his standard, lazy posture fully intact.

The massive Crimson Shadow Griffin sat right beside his leather boots, its deep-purple galaxy eyes blinking with an unnatural, serene relaxation as the dust settled over the broken bodies of the Vance elders. The absolute siege was completely over; every single hidden root of his regional enemies had been systematically slaughtered and crushed into absolute sand in less than three seconds.

Right at that exact millisecond, before the kneeling, trembling Vance Patriarch could even attempt to beg for his pathetic life, a familiar, cold, and mechanical notification violently vibrated inside Tony's sea of consciousness.

The spatial friction of the lower world seemed to completely fracture as the system interface flashed a brilliant, blinding golden light directly across his vision, revealing a massive, world-changing upgrade protocol that completely rewrote his future path on the grand chessboard.

[Ding! Hidden World Condition triggered: Faction "Vance Clan" and Faction "Faith Family" have been thoroughly eliminated from the regional registries.]

[Ding! The Fated Villain System has successfully completed its absolute core synchronization with the highest tier laws of the Eternal Sun Universe.]

[System Spirit Status: 100% Unlocked. All hidden database archives and forbidden cosmic records are now fully accessible to the Host.]

Tony kept his physical face perfectly still, but internally, his dark eyes flashed with an unnatural, terrifyingly sharp brilliance as a deep, triumphant smile spread across his mind. He could feel the golden runic pathways inside his consciousness hum beautifully, but before he could even browse the updated system shop, the cold mechanical voice of the system spirit shifted, its tone dropping into a rare, deeply serious melody that carried the weight of an ancient cosmic tragedy.

[Ding! Absolute Ultimate Main Quest Unlocked: "The Tian Family Retribution."]

[Quest Description: The system spirit's original creator and true master—the Supreme Alchemist of the Primordial Era—was secretly betrayed, ambushed, and is currently kept inside an absolute, eternal soul prison hidden deep within the absolute core of the highest cosmic realm. The perpetrators of this ancient crime are the Tian Family, a near-mythical, terrifyingly powerful god-like lineage that strictly governs the absolute primordial laws, resource distribution, and martial hierarchy of the entire universe.]

[Phase 1 Objective: Host must immediately learn and master the forbidden Primordial Alchemy Art through the system interface. To gain the absolute political and legal leverage required to approach the upper cosmic realms without being instantly erased by their heavenly arrays, Host must participate in the upcoming World Alchemy Summit and secure the absolute No. 1 Position in the entire world.]

[Quest Explanation: Securing the absolute champion crown at the World Summit will grant the Host the prestigious title of "Divine Sovereign Alchemist," forcing the Tian Family to legally grant you their highest-grade personal favor and open their royal ancestral gates to welcome you. This favor is the singular, absolute key required to infiltrate their inner sanctum, locate the creator's soul prison, and execute a total, merciless retribution against their bloodline.]

[Quest Rewards: 50,000 Fate Points, 1× Divine-Tier World Tree Seed Leaf, and 100% Instant Breakthrough into the Ethereal Sun Ascension Cultivation Realm.]

Tony's lips slowly curled into a wide, ruthlessly brilliant grin as the staggering magnitude of the system quest perfectly aligned with his burning, villainous ambition. He had once brought a god-like upper realm traveler to his knees back on modern Earth, and the news that he was now targeting a near-mythical family of cosmic gods who governed the entire universe did not make his heart flinch for even a single fraction of a microsecond. To a true supreme villain, a bigger enemy simply meant a far more magnificent, unforgettable graveyard to build.

I am Tony Clark, his strategic mind roared internally, his jaw tightening into an iron-like lock as his internal self-motivating talk flooded his consciousness. I didn't conquer an entire continent, turn a Demonic Sea Princess into a brainwashed servant, and smash the proudest fortresses of this city just to sit quietly as a regular inner disciple inside a backwater academy.

The Tian Family believes they are the absolute rulers of the primordial laws, but on my grand chessboard, they are nothing more than the ultimate final prey waiting to be systematically slaughtered. If the path to their throat requires me to become the greatest alchemist this universe has ever seen, then I will simply trample over their entire medical registry and take the No. 1 crown by absolute force.

Tony casually snapped his fingers, and with a brief mental command, he authorized the initial phase of the quest through his newly updated interface. 'System! Consume whatever Fate Points are necessary and integrate the foundational pathways of the Primordial Alchemy Art into my consciousness right now.'

[Ding! Consuming 500 Fate Points. Unlocking: "Primordial Alchemy Art" (Divine Inheritance Stage)... Success! Remaining Fate Points Pool: 3,240.]

[Ding! Synchronizing thousands of ancient pill recipes, high-tier herb combination matrices, and cosmic flame-carving methodologies directly into the Host's sea of consciousness. Integration completion rate: 100%.]

An instantaneous, overwhelming flood of ancient, esoteric knowledge violently rushed directly into Tony's brain, causing a sharp, burning wave of heat to ripple behind his temples before vanishing as quickly as it had arrived.

He could clearly see thousands of glowing runic symbols and complex chemical balances spinning inside his mind, detailing exactly how a true master could use their internal 9th Class Elder Disciple solar energy to compress absolute herbal laws into high-tier divine pills without any restrictions. His comprehension talent reached an absolute, terrifyingly sharp density that completely mocked the decades of research ordinary master instructors had to endure.

Tony slowly turned his gaze back onto the kneeling, weeping Vance Patriarch, his lazy demeanor perfectly returning to his frame as he casually adjusted the folds of his dark hunting cloak. He didn't waste a single fraction of his breath on empty warnings or theatrical protocols. He turned his head slightly toward Julie Faith, who was standing quietly behind his left flank with a serene, brainwashed devotion.

"The minor roots of this city are officially wiped out, Julie," Tony said smoothly, his deep baritone voice carrying a chilling, razor-sharp edge that cut straight through the cold midnight air. "Clean up the remaining estate properties with Lady Selena, and ensure that every single fraction of the Vance clan's hidden herbal reserves and alchemy cauldrons is safely transported straight to my Cloud-Mist Pavilion before the sun rises tomorrow morning. Our grand game has just shifted to a massive new stage, and I have a lot of pills to brew in the dark."

"Your will is my absolute law, Master Tony," Julie replied softly, bowing her head deeply in complete, permanent submission to his name.

With a sudden, powerful mental command, the griffin's thirty-foot blood-red wings violently expanded, unleashing a colossal vortex of pure spatial void energy that completely wrapped around their physical frames, fracturing the local air currents.

In less than a fraction of a single millisecond, the space inside the ruined courtyard violently distorted, and Tony Clark and his legendary companion beast completely vanished into thin air, launching an absolute, high-speed flight back toward the academy peaks to begin his ruthless ascent toward the absolute apex of the alchemy world.
