Tang Shaoyang's frown deepened. It was too good to be true, and he could not take the old man's words seriously. Of course, his Dragon Sense only found sincerity behind the old man's words. There was no malice but genuine excitement after knowing his situation. It was weird, but he understood the old man's intention, making a connection with him.

"There's nothing free in this world. What do you want in exchange for forging a new identity for me." Even though he tried to hide the fact that the God Ranks came down for him, the old man found out about it already by himself. Instead of hiding it, he tried to make a deal.

"As I said, I just want to befriend you. We ought to help each other as a friend, no? You are in a difficult situation right now, so I can help you. However, if the Karian Adventurer is in trouble, I hope you can help us too." Gortham smiled, showing his teeth. "Since you can escape from the God Ranks. I believe you are in the top hundred strongest in this tower. I think you can be a big help to the Karian Adventurer Guild?"

"Top hundred? Not the top ten?" Tang Shaoyang blurted out. He just fought the God Rank, the highest rank that was available in the system.

The old man laughed at the bold claim while shaking his head. "You are overestimating yourself. There should be hundreds of people who could escape from the God Ranks. I am talking about escaping, not fighting tow in tow."

Gortham raised his right hand. "Please wait for a moment. I will ask my people to issue a new identity for you." The old man communicated with his people, looking at the screen that was invisible to Tang Shaoyang. It was not long, less than a minute, before the old man focused back on his guest.

"Why don't we continue our conversation while waiting for your Adventurer ID?" Gortham's hand moved to his beard and started to caress his beard once more. "However, I become even more curious about what you have for those God Ranks come after you. It must be more than a mere artifact. Can you give a clue?"

Tang Shaoyang was in a dilemma. He did not mind giving a clue and let the old man make a guess for himself. However, this was a trust issue. He also wanted to make a connection with a force from the other world, but he did not want to share the secret with someone he just knew.

"Come on, I am not asking for a specific thing. I just want to know whether it has anything to do with your class, your talent, or even your bloodline." The old man's eyes turned sharp when he mentioned those three. He tried to find it based on Tang Shaoyang's expression, but there was no reaction from the young man.

"Hmmm…. It's about the class, huh!?" Gortham closed his eyes as a few classes appeared in his mind. "There are five classes that I know those God Ranks fear, but let's stop talking about it since you are uncomfortable. Let's find out who wants you to die. If you can give me the names, it will be easier, but if you don't know their names, then you can tell me about their ability. It should not be hard to find them, but it takes longer. I believe you want to pay them back, right?"

"That's perfect. I overheard their conversation, and I know them all." Tang Shaoyang was glad that Gortham did not dig further into his secret.

"What? Three? They sent three God Ranks just for you?" Gortham was surprised that three God Ranks failed to kill or capture the young man. He realized that the young man in front of him had more potential than he thought.

"Yes. One of them is actively chasing me, while the other two seem to focus on the lightning that comes after them. Isn't that how those God Ranks operate?"

"This is more interesting than I thought. Can you tell their name?" Gortham seemed to be more excited the more he found the actual situation.

Tang Shaoyang could not tell what excited the old man, but he had not sensed any malice from the old man yet. "Gungnir with lightning dominant ability, Windra with wind dominant ability, and Lasius with a bow."

"Ah," The old man clapped his hand. "They are from Nirvana Alliance. They establish themselves as the God of humanity, creating absurd religion in many worlds. But this is weird; I don't sense any demonic energy from you…. Those people only come for the people affiliated with the demon or undead."

"What about Antorias?" Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brow deeper. "Antorias, the God of Undead. I overheard they knew about me from Antorias, who tried to wreak havoc in my world, but I defeated him before he could do that? Does Antorias also part of Nirvana Alliance?"

"Huh? Antorias also has his part in your predicament? This is weird. As I said, those God Ranks from Nirvana love to pose themselves as True Gods that will lead humanity even though they are just humans with more power. Antorias is the God of the Undead, so he should be their enemy instead…. Wait, Antorias is part of Abyss if your information is shared by the Abyss. It means you have something that both sides feared." Gortham realized he had narrowed down what Tang Shaoyang possessed that scared the God Ranks.

Tang Shaoyang's value increased a lot in Gortham's eyes, and he realized that if Tang Shaoyang could really reach God Rank, then this young man could really help The Adventurer in the God Realm.

"If that's the case, you really need to hide your identity until you reach the same level as them. If you have something Abyss and Nirvana feared, that means you might have something the other four God Alliances also feared. In the worst scenario, the other God Alliances might also want you dead. However, Ancient to God Rank, that will take years, if not hundreds of years."

"You have a rough path ahead of you, but I can help you with the small things. The Adventurer alliance will not get involved unless you are part of the Adventurer Guild. However, it seems you are already part of another faction, so the only thing I can help you with is the small things you need for your survival. If the six God Alliances discover your real identity and catch you, we will pretend that we don't know you."
