"Unlike the passage connected to Saint Louis Academy, the main administrator of the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm is now my father, who can easily open the passage to the real world."

"But only if he wants to open it."

"However now, the souls you have killed, transformed into undead under the power of death, have arrived on the Star Continent."

"This indicates the emergence of a new, unregulated passage in the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm."

"If it were just the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm, that would be manageable."

"The fear is that it isn't just the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm."

Louis suddenly realized.

The constant passage of Saint Louis Academy used a 'password.'

Without the 'password,' one cannot enter the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm. To exit, you must pass the mother-in-law's test.

This means that the passage seems open for Louis and the others because they are exceptions.

And the weak passage on Central Avenue need not be mentioned.

Outsiders can enter the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm, but it doesn't mean the undead there can leave.

In the end, outsiders force themselves inside the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm, which will just try to push you out.

So only outsiders can easily return through the weak passage.

This doesn't imply that undead creatures transformed from Fallen Shadow beings can escape easily.

These creatures are formed from the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm's essence; if they leave the realm, they would lose control, leading to a permanent reduction in the realm's foundation.

It is unknown how much emotional absorption from the real world would be needed to fill the void.

"Generally speaking, the supernatural powers of different worlds do not usually interconnect; even staying long-term in other worlds is very difficult."

Beatrice explained, "Especially the undead that you have let go, their power is absolutely not strong."

"Coming directly to the real world without spatial abilities is a very bad omen."

"This suggests that the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm, or even the Shadow Plane, is getting closer to the Star Continent."

The former can still be barely controlled.

The latter... the number of creatures in the Shadow Plane is countless.

Louis shook his head and sighed.

It's said that the most brutal invasion of Shadow Plane creatures permanently altered the ecosystems of some worlds.

For example, within the demon race, there appeared a demon that never existed before—the Shadow Demon.

The same goes for some primary material continents, where some shadow creatures residing in dark recesses appeared.

The damage these entities caused to local ecosystems is beyond others' imagination.

The only consolation is that this matter was discovered relatively early.

"Louis, you might get busy soon."

Beatrice looked at Louis and said.

Louis asked, "What do you mean?"

"If there are problems with the Shadow Plane, then the nearby countries might need to unite to eliminate the shadow creatures."

"I fear there's a good chance that various forces will be drawn in."

"Then the Adventurer Association might make a big move, and even your president might come looking for you."

Alice chuckled:

"If it's again the time of the Shadow Tide, I can guarantee that the Adventurer Guild headquarters will definitely demand Hans to start the preliminary rounds."

"Preliminary rounds? Do you mean the Titled Preliminary Rounds?" Louis's eyes lit up, "So we might compete this year?"

Alice nodded, "Titled Strongmen have a special privilege in the Adventurer Guild, and it's quite important to me."

"If you're interested, you can participate too."

"After all, it's one of the rare occasions when the Adventurer Guild spends lavishly."

Louis's eyes lit up even more, feeling that the sin of greed was stirring:

"How so?"

Beatrice said, "It's the selection right for the Adventurer's Treasure Vault, right?"

Alice nodded.

"The Treasure Vault?"

Louis's eyes grew even brighter.

Nothing could stop his yearning for wealth.

"I'm in!"

He said without hesitation.

Alice's mouth curled into a playful smile:

"Louis, do you know the prerequisites for participation?"

Louis said, "I've heard that Titled Strongmen require a minimum professional level of LV11, meaning you must be at least Exemplary level to compete."

Alice raised an eyebrow:

"Though everyone can participate in the Titled Preliminary Rounds, if you want to vie for the title of 14451, you must accomplish a great feat this year and rise to the Exemplary level."

Louis nodded, "I know."

Seeing Louis's calm expression, Alice was genuinely surprised:

"So confident, breaking through to Exemplary level within a year?"

Louis furrowed his brow and said:

"It is quite a challenge; maybe I should push myself a bit more."

Alice's mouth slightly opened.

This guy is more and more adept at bluffing.

But thinking carefully, it does seem quite reasonable.

Louis has only been practicing for about half a year now.

Half a year, advancing from LV1 to LV8, is truly unheard of and unseen.

He's not one of those lucky individuals who miraculously inherit a full professional level from predecessors due to fortune encounters.

Though Louis has cheated quite a bit during his growth, overall, his talent allowed him to reach this level.

This year, with 11 months left, for Louis to advance three more levels seems quite reasonable.

... Really?

Such growth speed is utterly ridiculous.

Having frequently fought together for the past half-year, getting accustomed to it has made her forget how staggering his advancement speed is.

Having been with this guy for a long time, she now feels getting a professional level increase is reasonably natural.

...

And so, time passed in a flash for several days.
