Once, I wanted to be a good person

Spotted Whale Venerable was clearly prepared mentally for the "failure" of the experiment.

So, when the Divine Fiend rushed at him, he almost showed no panic, and an overwhelming aura burst directly from him. Then he raised one hand high, and a massive shadow of a whale fin appeared in the sky over the entire demigod realm!

Then, with a loud "boom!", in just one move, the frenzied demigod was suppressed single-handedly by him into the Frost White Desert.

And at this point, Spotted Whale Venerable still had energy to spare. While pressing the Divine Fiend down with one hand, he turned his head angrily at Fang Ze and questioned, "You dared to deceive us!"

Though the events happened quickly, they didn't seem significant in the Venerables' eyes. Therefore, the Venerables in the audience were not surprised at all and even eagerly turned to Fang Ze, waiting for his explanation.

Faced with the ferocious aura of Spotted Whale Venerable at that moment, Fang Ze seemed unaffected. On the contrary, he looked at Spotted Whale Venerable reproachfully and asked, "Venerable, have you forgotten something? If you don't command him, how will he obey you?"

Upon hearing Fang Ze's words, Spotted Whale Venerable's expression froze: Is that really how things are?

He instinctively felt something was amiss, yet found some logic in Fang Ze's reasoning.

So he paused, then turned back and tentatively commanded, "Cease the attack!"

Upon hearing Spotted Whale Venerable's command, the Divine Fiend initially seemed not to hear and wanted to continue fighting Spotted Whale Venerable, but as he began to struggle, he abruptly halted.

He suddenly appeared to experience immense fear, showing a look of terror, and his movements involuntarily stopped.

"Hmm? It really works?" Seeing this scene, even Spotted Whale Venerable was a bit astonished.

He tried releasing the hand suppressing the Divine Fiend, stepped back a few paces, and continued observing.

At this moment, the Divine Fiend's state was akin to when Fiend Codex was first threatened by the Holy Reformation Room, with his expression and actions constantly changing. It seemed like he wanted to escape the threat of death but was forcibly pressed back.

Finally, after trying seven or eight times, he completely gave up struggling and stood there obediently, not daring to move.

The entire process of controlling the Divine Fiend was witnessed by all the Venerables. Seeing Spotted Whale Venerable indeed controlling the Divine Fiend with that talisman paper, the eyes of the Venerables below began to exchange more and more.

At this moment, however, Spotted Whale Venerable did not notice the undercurrent surging below. He looked at the Divine Fiend and once again tentatively commanded, "Squat down!"

The Divine Fiend glared at him with fierce eyes and a face full of resistance, yet his body obediently squatted down.

Spotted Whale Venerable's eyes brightened slightly, "Spin in place!"

The Divine Fiend reluctantly spun in circles.

Spotted Whale Venerable's smile grew wider. He said, "Use Power of Laws to restore Divine Power!"

This time, the Divine Fiend looked up with a bewildered expression, not making any movement.

Upon seeing this, Spotted Whale Venerable turned his head and looked at Fang Ze curiously, "He can't restore Divine Power?"

At this moment, Fang Ze lightly shook his head, explaining, "Venerable, the Divine Fiend's soul is damaged, his Spiritual Wisdom incomplete, he can only follow instinct and comprehend simple commands."

"To have him restore Divine Power, you must break each step down and guide him through it step by step."

"Direct commands, he doesn't understand."

Upon hearing Fang Ze's words, Spotted Whale Venerable promptly continued the experiment. As expected, once he broke down the steps to restore Divine Power and commanded them step by step, the Divine Fiend quickly succeeded in restoring his Divine Power!

Seeing this, Blue Blood Venerable immediately straightened up in excitement, looking toward the Venerables below, eager to inform Blue Blood Venerable of the successful "verification."

However, as he turned his gaze downward, his expression slightly froze: he found that the Venerables below seemed a bit restless, with more and more eye exchanges and Divine Thought interactions interweaving in the small meeting place. The entire scene was like a powder keg, as if just one spark would ignite it into an explosion!

Spotted Whale Venerable instinctively sensed something was wrong and wanted to consult with his allies on how to handle the situation. But at this moment, Fang Ze suddenly stepped in front of Spotted Whale Venerable, right in the path of his line of sight to Blue Blood Venerable.

Then Fang Ze inquired, "Venerable, now that the God-Sealing Talisman has been verified, can I verify the situation of these Divine Fiends?"

Upon hearing Fang Ze's words, Spotted Whale Venerable reflexively nodded.

Then he heard Fang Ze change his tone and say,

"But I don't have that artifact you used to unfreeze them." At this point, Fang Ze unreservedly glanced at the artifact resembling a fire starter in Spotted Whale Venerable's hand.

Spotted Whale Venerable clearly put his mind entirely on how to address the matter that was unfolding among the Venerables, so upon hearing Fang Ze's words, he casually tossed the artifact resembling a fire starter to Fang Ze and said impatiently, "This is the Divine Fire Box. Just use it to roast a creature frozen by Deep Blue Freeze to lift the freezing effect."

Fang Ze reached out to take the Divine Fire Box, a smile appeared on his face: with this Divine Fire Box, the last piece of his plan fell into place. The remaining part... would be igniting this powder keg.
