Walking out of Lingxiao Palace, flying to South Heavenly Gate, the Little Martial Saint and Phoenix bid farewell to the others and returned to the villa area prepared by Xia Country for the national team players.

It is quiet here, life facilities complete, even if they have become Immortals, they endure the mundane atmosphere to live here, accompanying their families.

Many people gathered here, waiting for their triumphant return.

These people are led by one of the five developers' group leaders, Guo Fu.

"Mr. Guo," Phoenix, and the Little Martial Saint, now at a Heavenly Position, still respect the old director of the Special Warfare Bureau.

Guo Fu looked at the two with relief: "It's good to be back."

"Little Martial Saint, when you're wealthy, don't forget us!" the former teammates teased.

"No problem!" The Little Martial Saint, spirited, said, "When I've conquered a few worlds, I'll rule the world with all of you!"

Everyone laughed heartily.

Guo Fu's face turned solemn.

"Disperse, I need to talk to them," he said.

Everyone arranged to drink with the Little Martial Saint and to go shopping with Phoenix.

After everyone left, Guo Fu said to the Little Martial Saint: "Do you have a brain?"

"What's wrong?" The Little Martial Saint was puzzled, then suddenly realized and laughed, "Old Guo, don't worry, the emperor has already permitted us, these Heavenly Positions workers can expand outward and occupy a few worlds ourselves."

Guo Fu said coldly: "Who among these people are true friends with you? Do you dare to say 'rule the world together' in front of them? Whose world is it?"

"... Are you being too sensitive? The emperor is not like that."

"Perhaps the emperor isn't, but Yafeiluna definitely is," Guo Fu said.

"Since the emperor isn't, what if Yafeiluna is? I'm not afraid if she complains," the Little Martial Saint showed even less concern.

"You still don't get it." Guo Fu sighed.

Unlike the Little Martial Saint, Phoenix wouldn't say things like "rule the world together," but was also puzzled by Guo Fu's reaction.

Guo Fu explained patiently, also educating: "Did you forget about the Turquoise Pool by the emperor's side, what is her background?"

The Little Martial Saint was first stunned, then showed an astonished expression, and finally became fearful.

A terrifying suffocation gripped him, with blood rushing to his head.

Phoenix's expression also gradually became serious.

Guo Fu continued: "The emperor might not care, but if the Turquoise Pool finds out, she'll definitely make an example of you, given her personality, she might be waiting for you Heavenly Positions to make a mistake!"

"What should we do?" The Little Martial Saint truly panicked.

He doesn't believe just because he showed loyalty on the Heavenly Road he could earn an eternal immortal pardon. In ancient times, many loyal ministers of a dragon were killed.

The Turquoise Pool comes from the Zhao Family, for people like them, punishing a loyal minister might be more effective—if even loyal ministers get punished for misspeaking, would others dare to speak?

"Should I go find the Zhao Family?" he probed.

Guo Fu shook his head: "Go to find Yafeiluna, aren't you going to conquer a few worlds? Ask her, which worlds are good to conquer and how many are appropriate, report to her."

"Wouldn't that make me look too sycophantic?" The Little Martial Saint hesitated again.

"It's not sycophantic, it's your duty."

"His brain is just missing a string," Phoenix said, adding insult to injury.

The Little Martial Saint felt a bit dejected.

He didn't expect a casual joke with friends would require such caution.

Guo Fu noticed his thoughts, smiled, and comforted: "Everyone wants to rise, but in this rise to prominence, you don't always encounter bright sunshine, more often it's storms and thunders—go find Yafeiluna tomorrow, Phoenix, you go too."

The two nodded.

"Shame!"

Indra threw a wine glass, cursing angrily.

A large group of people knelt outside because of this.

"What the Little Martial Saint and Phoenix did was excessively fawning, but... since they went, do you dare not go?" The Goddess Venus asked, smiling.

Indra looked up at her: "Who would dare not go?"

Venus played with the cup, which was three parts lightning and seven parts joy, the wine inside when consumed was numbing yet brought happiness, though it lacked battle power, it was a treasure for amusement.

She said: "The company's charter stipulates that Immortals can establish subsidiaries, now we have become Heavenly Immortals and must wag our tails like dogs—just wonder what ultimate Heavenly Will he mastered."

"It's not strong, otherwise why steal ours?" Indra said darkly.

"What a pity." Venus drank the wine in one go.

A pity they were tainted by black mist, powerless to resist.

◇

Japan Island, Yokohama.

Shalit queued for inspection, standing ten meters away from the person ahead... that cluster of material kept spinning, releasing a restless energy.

He turned back, gazing into the distance.

A huge teleportation gate soared on the horizon, blood-stained warships, under the guard of mechas and players, brought back full ships' loads of materials from other worlds.

He lifted his collar, feeling a bit cold.

"The Moon Reading God always likes to cool Japan Island before appearing, you will get used to it soon," the person behind smiled.

She was a woman, wearing priest robes, accompanied by several companions of varying heights and builds, looking like an adventure group.

Magical World's adventurers?

Or chosen players?

Shalit nodded kindly but didn't speak.

The unidentified material ahead was taken away during inspection, according to protocol, it must be observed for at least seven days before gaining freedom.

"Next."

It was Shalit's turn.

The person responsible for the inspection also dressed like a priest, holding a phone, took a picture of him.

Went into the album, selected the photo, slid the photo upward, Shalit's entire information displayed.

"From world R-16?" asked the priest.

"Yes, I am from Hudson," Shalit replied.
