Adrian smiled and said, “Of course not. We were just stretching and exercising. I didn’t realize you were watching us.”“I see, but wait!” The Soulnascent Tree, which had just started trusting Adrian, became wary again.“What’s the matter?” Adrian asked, puzzled by the sudden shift in the Soulnascent Tree’s demeanor. He scanned the swamp with his divine consciousness but found nothing unusual. Even if there were an enemy, the Soulnascent Tree should have detected it only after him.“You’re not just here for a casual visit,” the Soulnascent Tree observed. “An old man came here once and was tricked away by one of my companions. I can sense the Snake Vine on you. Clearly, you came prepared.”Adrian laughed and said, “If I were here to capture you, you’d already be in trouble. Capturing you would be easy for me. Besides, what would be the point? Free drinks and food for life?”“Free drinks and food? Don’t be absurd. Even if you’re prepared, you still can’t capture me. Can you explain
Adrian realized he hadn’t shared enough with Lexie. After finding the Soulnascent Tree, the immediate plan was to leave Mythria and head to the Spirit Domain. Since the Soulnascent Tree came from the Spirit Domain, it should have a way to return there.Finding the Spirit Domain in the endless void required specific coordinates. Even if Adrian had those coordinates, he lacked the ability to traverse the void. The future for human immortals in this world was uncertain, or worse, a dead end. Staying here would be suicidal.Thus, the Soulnascent Tree was their only chance. While the Soulnascent Fruit was known to come from the Spirit Domain through spatial rifts, Adrian suspected there was more to it.Why was it only the Soulnascent Fruit that could come here? There were few rumors about other rare treasures, suggesting that the Soulnascent Fruit had unique attributes. Now that Adrian saw the Soulnascent Tree could cross worlds, it seemed this wasn’t a coincidence.The fact that the So
“Of course, there is a Celestial Domain!” Soulnascent said. “However, in the Spirit Domain, I haven’t heard of any great being breaking through to the Celestial Domain in a long time. It might be due to an issue with the Ascension Platform or changes in the laws of the Spirit Domain.”“What are celestials like?” Adrian asked, eyes gleaming with curiosity as if seeing Soulnascent as a treasure trove.Soulnascent shivered slightly under his intense gaze. Adrian did indeed think this way. Although Soulnascent seemed small, she was old and her existence as a spirit was a rare phenomenon. Some exceptionally fortunate spiritual herbs had attracted great beings who gathered around them, leading to spirits with combined strengths that even humans dared not underestimate.Soulnascent seemed all-knowing and omnipotent in Adrian’s eyes. The spatial laws she described were unknown to Adrian, but he confirmed their truth with the Draco Veinergy.After pondering for a long time, Soulnascent caut
”When an immortal masters the laws of two-dimensional space, they can open a spatial gate, enter the void, and find a weak point in another location’s space. By piercing through it, they achieve teleportation by ripping through space.“But when an immortal becomes a celestial, their understanding of spatial laws far surpasses that of us mere mortals. When they open a spatial gate, they instantly arrive at their destination.“To put it simply, when an immortal uses a spatial gate for teleportation, they disregard distance and spatial weaknesses. It’s as if they directly link the two places, folding space and making it overlap, allowing for instantaneous movement.”After Soulnascent’s lengthy explanation, Adrian and Lexie finally grasped the terrifying power of celestials. Not only did they possess telepathy, but their mastery of spatial laws reached an extraordinary level.Seeing their stunned expressions, Soulnascent was delighted.However, Adrian wasn’t satisfied. Seizing the opp
Adrian spread his hands helplessly and said, “How could I possibly? Lexie, how are you so perceptive?”“I think you just want to run off on your own and leave me behind! Hmph!” Lexie said, placing her hands on her hips in an endearing manner.Adrian laughed and said, “Lexie, I truly have no such thoughts. If I did, may lightning strike me/”“Alright then, apologize.” Lexie crossed her arms over her chest and looked away.“Apologize for what?” Adrian felt he hadn’t done anything to offend Lexie. But to appease her, he said, “I’m sorry, Lexie.”“What are you sorry for?” Lexie asked, leaving Adrian bewildered.“How should I know what I’m sorry for? I’m dealing with important matters here.” Adrian replied.“If you don’t know what you’re sorry for, how can you apologize?” Lexie asked. Realizing Adrian was indeed busy with important matters, she then added, “Why are you making me leave then?”Adrian finally understood why Lexie was upset. He rubbed his temples, knowing he wouldn’t ha
Adrian took a moment to organize his thoughts before saying, “Do you know who the envoy sent out is?”Lexie laughed and replied, “Do you think that can stump me? I heard it’s a half-demon named Ragan or something.”Adrian nodded. “You’re right. His name is Ragan Wurt, and he is a half-beast. But do you know what his other bloodline is?”“Of course, it’s human. How else could the immortals allow him to represent humanity?” Lexie dismissed Adrian’s question with a snort, thinking it was irrelevant.Adrian shook his head. “No, he doesn’t have any human blood. I checked thoroughly, but the immortals of the central lands were tight-lipped about it, especially Heavenly Order. They had no intention of giving a direct answer. After investigating through various means, even bribing some stewards within Heavenly Order, I found out that Ragan is half daemon.”“Absurd! Absolutely absurd!” Lexie laughed angrily. “That’s just impossible! How could the fate of humanity, the fate of billions of l
Ragan first left the mainland immortal region, plundering the maritime immortal region before using the spiritual sense of Daemon Ancestor Forgotten Shore to target the dark beasts. He specifically aimed at the offspring of powerful beast clans.During Adrian's time at the Purple Forest Marsh, chaos descended upon the beasts. Daily reports of beast deaths, especially those from noble clans, inundated the Crystal Palace. The situation deteriorated to the point where even members of the royal beast clans were hunted, causing significant unrest among the beasts.As Adrian made preparations, the beasts launched a full-scale invasion.On the human side, immortals were celebrating their supposed victory. The presence of a half-beast envoy gave them confidence in the success of the negotiations. As Lexie had anticipated, with humans negotiating under the threat of daemon invasion, cooperation between the humans and beasts seemed like the only viable path to survival. However, Ragan was n
Was there truly no hope for Adrian and Lexie?The answer was no.Soulnascent suggested a safer method to reach the Spirit Domain: interdimensional teleportation portals. However, Adrian would need to find one first.In the Spirit Domain, these portals leading to the Human Domain were controlled by large factions. In the Human Domain, there were no factions guarding such portals, and even if there were, they likely couldn't afford the cost of interdimensional teleportation.Adrian was left speechless by Soulnascent's information, and Lexie, frustrated, pinched Soulnascent's ear.In response, Soulnascent mentioned a final method: sacrifice. Any law could be fueled by life force, implying that if every life had value, it could be used in this context. She also pointed out that while an immortal might seem to have only one element, this was just the most prominent attribute of their body. In the Spirit Domain, this notion had long been discarded.An immortal consisted of various attr
