Rudi Restaurant, Second Floor
Lein and Nita were currently dining together at Rudi Restaurant.
"Brother, do you think they will beco hostile towards us?"
While eating, Nita asked Lein who was sitting across the table.
"No, do you think it's that easy to make enemies?" Lein replied casually while continuing to eat his food.
A while ago, he received a private ssage on behalf of the Earth Paradise Alliance. They stated that they wanted to cooperate with the World Market alliance. However, Lein politely declined.
It wasn't just from Earth Paradise; there were over 10 alliances that invited the World Market alliance to cooperate, but Lein rejected them all.
Lein actually didn't have a problem with cooperation, but these top alliances wanted the World Market alliance to beco a subordinate alliance, giving 20% of the World Market alliance's earnings.
Lein wasn't arrogant, but he truly couldn't agree to such terms. It would be foolish to cooperate with others without adequate compensation.
Because of Lein's refusals, Nita was a bit worried. In most stories like this, rejection often ends in hostility. But once again, this was the real world.
"Nita, have you obtained information about the largest portal size?" Lein asked.
"Yes, Brother, there are several in Sister Laras' city of Light."
Nita obtained information from alliance mbers in the information departnt that portals varied in size. The largest portal found so far was 20 ters high.
"Good, finish your food quickly, and let's head out."
"Okay, Brother."
They continued eating for another 30 minutes before finally leaving the restaurant and heading to the city of Light on the western part of Lein Island.

Southern Area, City of Light
In the sports field, full of fresh green grass, there was a 20-ter-high blue portal.
The portal was surrounded by barrier ropes, and there were 4 guards ensuring that ordinary people did not enter.
As the alliance leader, Lein had arranged for the 20-ter portals to remain inaccessible for the ti being. The dangers within had not yet been confird, so Lein and the core mbers would check them first before allowing public access.
"Welco, Mr. Lein, Princess Nita," the head guard greeted them.
Lein nodded and said, "Thank you, please ensure that ordinary citizens do not enter until we give the order."
"Understood, Sir."
Lein glanced at Nita beside him. Her face was filled with strong curiosity. Her gaze was fixed on the portal as if reading the thousands of possibilities on the other side.
"Let's go in."
They slowly but surely entered the portal, eventually being swallowed by the blue portal.
[Multi-Space Portal: Are you sure you want to enter?]
"Yes."
Lein recalled that the top 3 prize in the previous event was also a multi-space portal. Did this an that the top 3 players had entered the portal before the other rulers?
Before Lein could finish his speculation, the portal had already swallowed him from the island.

A vast field, portal islands neatly lined up in the middle of the field. Every now and then, people would erge from the portals.
The people who erged had various appearances. So carried bows, so had halos of light, so were cloaked in dark flas, and so took the form of animals like wolves and bears. All sorts of creatures erged from the portals.
"Haha... Finally, I'm back. I'll kill that ugly monster this ti."
"After upgrading my equipnt, I'm sure I'll get a lot of contributions."
"Those Beast Masters are too arrogant with their monsters. And those stupid Players, why are they helping those damn Beast Masters..."
Non-stop conversations of people erging from the portals could be heard. Most of them seed to be at war and eager to earn contribution points.
Not far from the portal field, there were several small posts guarded by guards in matching uniforms. Their hair was neatly tied, and their cloaks bore a crossed sword emblem.
At these small posts, so people who had just erged from the portals headed straight there. After so light conversation, the guards handed over bronze badges to the people in front of them.
A few guards stationed on the outer periter were having a discussion.
"Look, it seems the Faithwardens are joining the summon this ti."
"Yes, I also feel Lord Gou is prioritizing the war with the Beast Masters this ti."
"Are you stupid? This battle involves Royal-level artifacts."
The guard's friend was annoyed and scolded his friend a bit.
"Yeah, but... Why are small forces like ours involved in such a big war?"
"Again, you're showing your ignorance. Do you think everything you see here is free, without cost?"
"By mobilizing small forces, if we win, it will greatly reduce the cost of war."
"That's enough, get back to work..."
Since his friend had no warlike thoughts, the guard kept grumbling and stopped talking to his clueless friend.
...
Lein and Nita now erged from one of the portals. They saw many people of various kinds, styles, and auras.
They felt they had moved to a place very foreign and far from ho. The surrounding aura was strong, even Lein, with an average attribute of 500 points, was overwheld and trembled inside.
"Is this a higher realm?"
"Brother, it seems very dangerous this ti. I feel like they could attack us at any mont," said Nita from beside him.
She kept looking around, seeing all sorts of people.
"Welco, Sir, is this your first ti in Guandu Realm?"
A guard noticed Lein and Nita's movents and approached them.
Lein looked at the guard who had asked.
[Status]
- Na: Ju Kun
- Race: Cui Race
- Power Core: Cultivator
- Level: Foundation Establishnt
Even the status panel display had changed. "A Cultivator," Lein said in his heart.
"Yes, this is our first ti here," Lein answered honestly.
"Welco, Sir, I am Ju Kun, and I will guide you."
Ju Kun had a friendly appearance. He guided Lein and Nita to one of the posts.
Along the way, Ju Kun provided an overview of the place they were in and the current situation.
They were in one of the top sects in the Wulin Empire located in Guandu Realm, the Heaven's News Sect. Heaven's News Sect was one of the tens of thousands of sects guarding the southern part of Guandu Realm.
Guandu Realm was the realm of the Cui race, who were Cultivators, and they were currently at war with the Torvu race. The Torvu race were Beast Masters from the Tuwu realm.
Cultivators are beings who gain power by harnessing energy from the universe. In contrast, Beast Masters specialize in taming Star Beasts to gain power.
Lein was also very surprised when Ju Kun ntioned that there were 5 types of Power Cores in the vast universe.
The 5 Core Powers are:
1. Faithwarden: Beings who gain power from faith energy.
2. Cultivator: Beings who gain power from natural energy.
3. Player: Beings who gain power from the will of nature.
4. Star Beat: Star beings who gain power from their bloodline.
5. Beast Master: Beings who ta star beasts.
