"If you're worried about having no Heart Demon, then immerse yourself in this turbid world. As long as you're in it, the Heart Demon will continually grow."

"Every time you remove the Heart Demon, it's an opportunity for your soul to strengthen."

Louis nodded and said "Thank you."

He just raised his head to see the Elder Priest's meaningful expression and suddenly frowned.

"No, is this guy aiming at me?"

The Elder Priest nodded at Louis, and a gentle voice came through:

"Well done, the stars need a trustful great sin."

The Elder Priest's mouth hadn't opened.

It was clear that he was using some kind of Divine Art to directly convey words into his heart.

"Another old fellow who knows my background?"

Louis understood.

This Elder Priest definitely wasn't here to guide the souls of the deceased.

At least not solely.

He was probably here out of curiosity or at someone's request.

"By the way, be a bit cautious and don't reveal your true self near the Supreme Forest, or the situation could get very awkward."

The Elder Priest added another sentence and then said no more.

Louis was a bit puzzled.

Supreme Forest?

Does it have any relation to those long-eared folks?

But seeing the Elder Priest didn't seem inclined to explain, he didn't ask further.

Meanwhile, William and Fabricio started arguing again.

Fabricio said that if William continued fighting the old way, something would happen sooner or later.

Louis didn't quite understand Fabricio's point.

In his view, William's fighting was detailed, balanced in attack and defense, with no fatal weaknesses.

But Fabricio's fighting style...could it really not lead to death?

William didn't say anything, just smiled, obviously unwilling to respond.

The Elder Priest shook his staff, and a crisp bell sound rang around.

More and more faint blue phantoms floated through the air toward them.

Everyone raised their weapons, and a fierce battle began.

As they fought, Alice frowned.

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt some of the phantoms were familiar,

Suddenly, a sword light flashed.

Louis stood in front of her:

"Something's wrong. I saw phantoms dispersed from the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm."

Alice suddenly realized.

No wonder she always felt something was off.

When they killed beings like the Unjustly Deceased Water Ghosts in the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm, souls would also disperse.

Perhaps because these creatures were more like constructs, the ghosts formed from these souls would be clumsier and lack aggression.

Moreover, turning into ghosts takes time, and back then, Louis and Alice didn't bother to clean up these souls.

Now, ghosts from the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm have appeared in the real world?

This is odd.

Louis went over and told the Elder Priest about the situation.

The Elder Priest's face changed:

"Not good, this is a bit troublesome."

The Elder Priest raised his staff, and one Divine Art after another rained down from the sky.

Amidst the continuous rumbling, the ghosts were soon mostly wiped out.

Once the terrifying power within him erupted, Louis clearly felt that this Elder Priest was indeed a top-tier level 20 archetype.

He clicked his tongue.

Who exactly is this Elder Mage.

He's seen the archbishop of the Church of the God of Death and Sleep, who was a level 18 Priest.

Level 20, and how did Nan Feiyan manage to get such a Mage here?

Soon, most of the ghosts were cleared out.

A few priests came from afar, their expressions somewhat subtle.

"Did something happen?"

Captain Livia asked.

"The contact with the ghosts will halt for now as something happened, and you must return as quickly as possible."

Everyone exchanged glances but no one foolishly insisted on staying.

...

An hour later.

The Elder Priest took Louis and Alice to the Minister of the Seal's Office.

Not long after, they met Beatrice.

Beatrice's gaze immediately fell on Louis, who was clad in armor.

But she didn't expose him and just calmly said:

"Caesar, Alice, why are you following Lord Wagri?"

Lord Wagri bowed and said:

"Princess, the ghosts from the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm appeared in the outskirts' ghost tide."

Beatrice frowned and looked at Louis:

"Is that true?"

Louis nodded: "Saw it with my own eyes."

Beatrice rang the bell on her desk, and Qian opened the door and entered.

"Your Highness..."

"Qian, notify the Lokeshi Empire and East and West Monet Kingdoms, have them investigate whether the seal has loosened."

"Yes."

After Qian spoke, she left directly.

Beatrice then turned to the others and said:

"This matter should not be spread outside for now. Ask the surrounding countries about the situation. If that's the case, then we need to prepare in advance."

...

Once the Elder Priest left, Louis and Alice were left behind.

Louis removed his helmet: "I'm suffocating."

Qian walked in and said:

"The three countries have been notified, this matter is a bit troublesome, and later you may need to lead to see if related cooperation can be pushed forward."

Beatrice nodded: "I'll pay attention to that."

Louis curiously asked:

"What's going on?"

"The Fallen Shadow Nether Realm is getting closer to Star Continent."

"Hmm?" Louis hesitated.

Weren't the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm and Star Continent always close?

Even in Saint Louis Academy, there are hidden fixed paths leading to the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm.

Beatrice seemed to notice Louis's thoughts and shook her head:
