Logan took the phone and saw dozens of news headlines praising and celebrating him.

——[Talented Young Man Creates Another Miracle, Rising from Master to Legend to Defeat a Mutant!]

——[Pinocchini's Evil Plan Exposed, Logan Saves the Federation Again!]

——[Morgan Family Was a Spy? High School Detective Unearths a Big Secret!]

…

Looking at these clickbait headlines, Logan quietly handed the phone back to Garen City Lord and sighed: "This also has your part, right?"

"You pressured Holt, so he wouldn't easily give me the credit. He didn't even accuse me of working with the Black Church, which was already a big favor."

Garen City Lord smiled and nodded. "We just made the truth come out into the open. As for blaming Pinocchini, it was to protect the public's trust in the council."

At this, Arthur, sitting nearby, pushed up his glasses and said coldly: "Of course, the council is corrupt. That's an undeniable fact. We've already discussed it, and we plan to restructure it from the shadows."

Hearing this, Logan turned to look at Philip General and Darwin General.

After seeing both generals nod, he understood the real meaning behind it.

Thinking about Natalia and Bell's experiences, he suggested that they open new cases for those victims.

Philip General nodded in agreement. "The Morgan family persecuted the Federation's talents. These victims deserve to be cleared."

After saying that, everyone turned their eyes toward Arthur.

One of the three judges of the Judicial Tribunal, he had the power and responsibility to judge all crimes in the Federation.

Arthur knew what they were expecting. He quietly pulled out a stack of papers and handed them to Logan, explaining: "I really want to clear Bell's name, but first, you should look at this."

Logan flipped through the documents, and his brows grew tighter and tighter.

When he finished reading the last page, he finally looked up slowly, his expression serious. "There are other forces behind all of this?"

Arthur took the papers back and nodded, sighing. "Our Judicial Tribunal has always been fair. We couldn't just ignore Bell's case. A year ago, we already found out that Alex was closely connected with The Black Church."

At this, Arthur pushed up his glasses and smiled. "I heard you're close to an Imperial Princess from The Black Church, so I'm asking you to help us look into them. Right now, we suspect the main suspect is the former Imperial Princess of The Black Church, Leonia."

When he heard the name Leonia, Philip General frowned. "The one who lost her familiar to Natalia? That has something to do with her?"

Arthur shrugged and laughed. "I don't know for sure. The Black Church stays in the gray area of the Federation. Their relationship with us is very complicated. We can't go too deep into it."

As he said that, Arthur narrowed his eyes and looked at Logan. "But Logan, you're the perfect one to go check out The Black Church. I already have a reason for you. Just say you're here to deliver Fire Seeds, and you can watch their Supernova Arena Match next month. It'll help you get ready for your own Supernova challenge."

Logan heard the plan, and suddenly he felt like he had been played all along.

He looked around and saw the others all had that 'we-knew-it-all-along' look on their faces. He laughed and muttered: "You guys really know how to make me work. You can't just make me do all the work without giving me something in return, can you?"

When Logan asked for a reward, General Philip smiled and rubbed his beard. "We already had something planned for you. Since you did so well, we're going to officially submit the proposal to reorganize the Red Flower Guild into the Inspection Bureau, after the council is reorganized.

Logan nodded at the news.

If the council was reorganized, it would be controlled by the military and the Judicial Tribunal.

Any proposals they made would definitely pass. That was good news.

Seeing Logan's expression ease a little, Darwin General added: "As for your Supernova Challenge, we're going to move it up. In the next three months, you'll be ready for the official match."

Garen City Lord also took out a golden chest and carefully handed it to Logan. "This is the Federation's Sacred Fire. We ask you to take it to The Black Church."

Logan took the chest and looked surprised. "The Sacred Fire doesn't have much power left. Why give it to The Black Church?"

Garen City Lord sighed. "Whether it's the Temple or The Black Church, both have the power to affect the stability of the Federation. To keep them under control and keep things calm, the Federation has always shared the Sacred Fire with them."

At this, Logan finally understood.

The main way the Federation controlled the Temple and The Black Church was through Fire Seeds.

Without Fire Seeds, even the Temple and The Black Church couldn't raise someone to the Saint stage.

Now that he understood, Logan put the chest away and agreed to the mission.

The Fire Seed had already been turned into an energy core by the transformed Blood Tree. Even Logan couldn't change it back.

So, if he wanted humans to regain the key to breaking through to the Saint level, the only way was the Yepera bones deep under Star Lake.

Logan believed that once he passed the Supernova Challenge and reached the Saint level, he would definitely be able to control the Yepera bones.

When Logan left the City Lord's office, Natalia was already waiting outside.

As soon as they met, Natalia noticed the golden chest in Logan's arms. "You really took the mission."

Logan raised an eyebrow. "What? You were also involved in this?"

Natalia shrugged and didn't hide it. "Of course. They were going to send me, but I said no."

After saying that, Natalia grabbed Logan's arm and pulled him out of Saint Heart City.

Throughout the trip, Natalia stayed silent. Only when she brought Logan to the Genius Training Camp and knocked on Lucia's office door did she finally speak.

At that moment, Sophia was also there. Both of them looked at Logan, fixing their eyes on the golden chest in his arms.

Natalia even set up a Blood Cultivation Realm and spoke first. "Tell us about the Fire Seed. Since you tamed the Blood Tree and turned it into armor, can you take the Fire Seed out again?"

Logan shrugged and shook his head. "The Fire Seed changed its energy state along with the Blood Tree's transformation. Now I don't know how to return it to its original form."

Hearing this, Natalia and the others all looked like they had expected it.

"With the current amount of belief power in the Federation, the Sacred Fire won't last long," Natalia said, looking at Logan. "So, before you take the Supernova Challenge, the Sacred Fire can't be used carelessly anymore."

Sophia raised an eyebrow. "From what I heard, the Temple is also holding a Supernova Challenge soon. They sent a strong Saint's Son. He's only 24 years old, but he's already at Legend stage. The Temple's priests even say he's chosen by the gods."

Lucia glanced at Sophia. "Keep your mouth shut. If you keep talking like that, the Genius Training Camp will get another complaint from the Temple. And we'll have to pay a lot."

Sophia rolled her eyes. "So, before Logan, the Sacred Fire will be used by The Black Church and the Temple first. Once the belief power inside it runs out, even if Logan becomes a Supernova, he won't have the power to break through to Saint stage."

Logan understood the worry in their words. He called out the Blood Tree armor.

As the others saw the Blood Tree turn into armor, they stopped arguing and came forward to take a close look at the equipment.

Natalia ran her fingers along the armor's patterns and frowned. "This armor is almost exactly like the Guardian of Order. Logan, can you put it on?"

Logan sighed and shook his head. "As soon as I wear it, it sucks in my Mental Power like a black hole. With my current strength, I can't even last a few seconds. That's why I can't take out the Fire Seed right now."

Hearing this, Natalia grabbed the Blood Tree armor and pulled it on herself.

The armor was very smart. It quickly adjusted to her body size.

After she was fully dressed, a terrifying energy burst from her. Her eyes turned blood red.

Sophia and Lucia immediately looked scared. They gasped, "Saint-stage energy!"

Natalia ignored them and immediately reached for the armor's energy core. Inside, the [Fire Seed] was glowing and moving.

Natalia tried to pull the Fire Seed out by force. Her whole body tensed, and her Mental Power was being sucked away quickly. Her eyes began to fade.

"Damn it! Natalia, stop!" Sophia noticed something wrong right away.

But before Sophia and Lucia could act, Natalia closed her eyes and collapsed to the ground.

Before she completely lost consciousness, she used her last strength to rip the armor off her body.

Logan rushed over and helped take off the rest of the armor. He gave her a medicine to drink.

Soon, Natalia woke up. She looked at Logan and sighed. "The Fire Seed is already merged with the Blood Tree armor. You can't separate them unless you reach the Saint level. And even then, you can't use it to power the Sacred Fire anymore."

At that, Natalia's face turned serious.

Because the belief power in the Federation's Sacred Fire wasn't enough to let Logan and the three of them all reach the Saint stage.
