Archibald was also displeased, glaring fiercely at Leopold.
"You said we'd all ask together and then let big brother choose, didn't you? Now you've gone ahead and asked first, what is big brother supposed to do?"
"I knew I shouldn't have co with you; here you are spouting nonsense, practically stabbing us in the back."
John, being repeatedly called 'big brother,' was both amused and bewildered.
Leopold defended himself righteously, "I saw you guys weren't saying anything, so I thought you weren't going to ask. I just wanted big brother to co to my house first for dinner. It's just a matter of sequence, why are you rushing it?"
Archibald and Lavinia were almost laughing in frustration.
If it wasn't important, then why had they been so eager to extend their invitations before?
The three of them actually started arguing in the hospital room, getting so heated that none could persuade the others.
John, feeling a headache coming on, rubbed his forehead and finally knocked on the table, drawing everyone's attention to him.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing. You're giving a headache."
The three looked at each other guiltily and involuntarily lowered their heads, like children who had done sothing wrong.
John, with a headache, looked at them and finally sighed.
"Fine, you should go back now. I can't rest with you all here."
Leopold coughed slightly, a bit embarrassed, and glanced at John.
"Then big brother, you rest well. We'll wait for you to recover and then go back to school together."
This ti, although there were so issues, Star Cluster Academy still admitted the top 100 ranked students as initially planned.
Those who didn't make the cut were sowhat disgruntled, but there was really nothing they could do.
The rankings were determined based on their prior performance, and even if so had sacrificed, that changed nothing.
So parents indeed kept causing disturbances, but in the end, they were all suppressed.
After all, there were so many nobles in the alliance, and one or two couldn't stir up much trouble.
After much persuasion, these three finally left, and when the room was left to himself, John felt the world quiet down.
Rubbing his temples, he felt an intense pain in his mind sea.
He suddenly rembered that during his ti in the secret realm, he had indeed encountered so unusual situations but had fallen asleep before he could understand what was happening.
When he woke up, he saw Abby and the others were also in the room.
The situation must have been very critical; could it have been Yina who saved him?
"Yina, are you there?"
John tried calling for Yina, but after several shouts, there was no response.
Just as he was about to give up, he heard a slightly listless voice.
"What do you want?"
John was stunned to hear the voice.
"What's wrong with you? Why does your voice sound so listless?"
Yina rolled her eyes within John's mind sea.
"You have the nerve to ask ? If it hadn't been for , you'd be dead."
John was sowhat baffled, instantly recalling the mont he was stabbed on the city wall when he had felt his consciousness drifting further from his body.
It was as though he was truly leaving his physical form.
Moreover, in the midst of it all, he had heard many dizzying murmurs…
At that ti, he felt as if his nerves were starting to malfunction, as if countless voices were clamoring in his ears.
He was on the verge of giving up, but then he felt his spirit stabilizing.
"So it was you who saved then," John said with a tone of gratitude, but Yina couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"If it wasn't , who did you think saved you? Do you really think you're lucky enough to escape death over and over again?"
Yina's tone carried a hint of complaint, but internally she was grumbling.
The power of the Stellar God that she had carefully accumulated had been completely used up this ti; who knows when she would be able to gather that much again.
John detected the reproach in Yina's tone and chuckled lightly. Sotis Yina might seem fierce, but in reality, she had saved him ti and again.
"But how did you manage to provoke the dark god this ti?" Yina asked with a hint of confusion in her voice.
"And the aura of this dark god seems completely different from before; who did you manage to anger this ti?"
John, feeling sowhat helpless, explained the situation clearly, which only deepened Yina's confusion.
"That doesn't make sense. If it truly were a dark god, they would have been sealed in the Godforsaken Land long ago and couldn't possibly have erged."
In the past, several pri gods had exhausted all their energy to seal the dark god there, with so even paying the price of their divine essence shattering.
The rest of the pri gods had fallen into slumber.
Has it only been so many years, and now the dark god is awakening again?
John listened quietly. These were details Yina had never shared with him before.
Yina, increasingly puzzled, mulled over many things, muttering to herself about the related information.
"This fragnt of the secret realm feels so familiar, like I've seen it sowhere before."
"Why is there a hint of the Dawn Goddess's aura too? But that shouldn't be right, the Dawn Goddess should be in slumber."
"And why did a pseudo-semigod appear this ti? Even if they used the power of control from within the secret realm, it still shouldn't be possible…"
As Yina continued to mutter, John listened attentively.
It wasn't until Yina realized she had said quite a lot that she snapped back to her usual fierce deanor.
"Are you trying to fish for information from ?"
John raised his eyebrows slightly, "I haven't said much at all; it's you who've been talking. Now why are you blaming ?"
Yina was montarily at a loss for words but still responded fiercely, "Then why didn't you interrupt ? Forget everything I just said; it's not for you to know right now."
John couldn't help but laugh a little, but still inquired further, "You said you felt that this secret realm has a very familiar aura. Have you encountered it sowhere else before?"
He was genuinely eager to know what would happen once all the fragnts of the secret realm were collected, so he was desperate for answers.
"I don't know, I don't know anything," Yina shut down the topic, clearly unwilling to discuss it further, while John couldn't help but sigh.
"Thank you for saving before, but if it hadn't been for the natives of this secret realm, I probably would have died already."
"I promised them I would take them ho. So, if you have any information about other fragnts of this secret realm, could you tell ?"
Yina was silent for a long ti. Just as John was losing hope and thinking about looking for other opportunities, he heard Yina sigh and say in a very elusive voice,
"Even if I knew where these secret realm fragnts are, you couldn't get them now; they are relics lost in the Godforsaken Land during the ancient wars of the gods."
"Only those who pass the trials can obtain the fragnts, and the fragnts themselves are entirely random; you can't just get what you want."
Trail?
Is this the sa kind of trial that Principal Sophia ntioned about the semigod-tier challenges?
John's mind raced; it seed that what Principal Sophia had said was indeed correct, but this test was sowhat different.
"The power of the dark god is already beginning to seep through, which ans he will soon awaken from the Godforsaken Land..."
"You already possess the power of a god, so it's likely that these troubles will only increase for you. You'd better strengthen your abilities quickly—I don't want to be dragged down by you next ti!"
Yina spoke fiercely, and John couldn't help but chuckle.
"These troubles ca looking for ; I couldn't avoid them if I tried."
"I don't care, you better keep yourself alive. If you're going to die, let know in advance so I can find soone else!"
