White Lotus Sanctuary.
At this mont, a young man was hurrying toward the central hall of the sanctuary—
the very place where the White Lotus Holy Lord resided.
This young man was none other than the Grand Overseer of White Lotus Sanctuary.
He had already reached the rank of God King.
Within White Lotus Sanctuary, he could walk unhindered without any problems.
But now, his expression was extrely grave.
There was even an indescribable sense of panic in his eyes.
His speed was astonishing.
Even the sky bore a streak from his passage.
The young man quickly entered the Holy Lord's great hall.
Finding no one inside, he hurried to the back.
As expected, he saw a woman seated there, seemingly drinking tea.
"Fayne, why are you so flustered? You've been with for a long ti now, and you're already at the rank of God King.
Shouldn't you know better by now to remain composed?"
On the table before the woman sat a small cauldron.
"Holy Lord, this matter… this matter is simply impossible to stay calm about!"
Fayne was incredibly agitated,
yet also deeply unsettled.
"Alright, sit down and speak. What exactly has happened that has you so anxious?"
Kaylyn looked at Fayne and asked.
Fayne was an old subordinate who had followed her for years.
She had never seen him in such a state before.
This made Kaylyn all the more curious.
What had Fayne encountered that could make him act like this?
"Holy Lord, this ti, sothing truly monuntal is happening!"
"Enough suspense. You've been with since the days of Blackwater City. You should know that I don't appreciate such theatrics."
"I know, but Holy Lord, this ti…"
Fayne forced a wry smile.
"It's truly different! Please, just listen to ! You know the Blue Jade Guild, right?"
Kaylyn nodded, indicating her familiarity.
It was a faction nurtured by White Lotus Sanctuary.
She was well aware of it.
"Recently, the Blue Jade Guild has been selecting core apprentices. Many talents have erged,
but one particular girl—a Dream Healer—stood out.
Not long ago, this girl, along with her temporary ntor,
entered the dreamscape of a high-ranking mber of the Blue Jade Guild."

"They inquired about so sword marks and a cauldron."
"And what of it?"
Kaylyn asked, puzzled.
Whether it was sword marks or cauldrons,
it was normal for people to be curious about such things.
After all, those items weren't sothing that should have appeared in that place.
"I understand. But that high-ranking mber of the Blue Jade Guild rembered the teacher's face
and decided to investigate further.
So, the Blue Jade Guild's chief reached out to the sanctuary."
Hearing Fayne's words, Kaylyn nodded.
That was completely reasonable.
Encountering an unknown powerful figure—reporting it to the sanctuary for oversight was the proper course of action.
Up to this point, Kaylyn saw nothing out of the ordinary.
If anything, this was exactly how things should be handled.
Then, Fayne projected the image of that person.
The mont Kaylyn laid eyes on it, her expression changed dramatically.
"This… This is the 5-Elent God King?!"
The 5-Elent God King had always shown great favor to Crossbridge World.
Back when Crossbridge World had first rged into the God Realm,
many powerhouses from the 5-Elent God Realm had co to aid in its advancent.
Moreover, the 5-Elent God King had addressed that great being as brother.
By now, the 5-Elent God King had already surpassed the rank of God King.
Yet…
Everyone still preferred to call him by that title.
And, of course, the 5-Elent God King himself liked that na as well.
"No! That's impossible!"
Kaylyn imdiately denied it.
Because she knew—
The 5-Elent God King would never appear in a place like this.
Let alone…
Taking on students here, or infiltrating soone's dream.
That was far too absurd.
Which ant…
Was soone impersonating him?
Kaylyn couldn't make sense of it.
Impersonating the 5-Elent God King was a death wish!
"Yes, I thought the sa at first—
that he would never co here.
But just in case, I instructed the Blue Jade Guild's chief, Edwin,
to accommodate the individual's requests as much as possible."
Kaylyn nodded again at this.
Even though the 5-Elent God King was unlikely to be there…
What if?
And even if it was an imposter,
to dare impersonate the 5-Elent God King…
That person must have so sort of significant connection to him.
"Even so, is that enough to warrant such panic?"
"To avoid mistakes, I had soone investigate further.
The person in question, while in the dreamscape,
requested care for his apprentice and… a certain descendant of an old acquaintance."
"Just now, the Blue Jade Guild's chief sent over the portraits of those two individuals."
As Fayne spoke, he projected an image of a young girl.
She had green hair, an unusual appearance.
"This girl is the apprentice."
"But what really unsettled you must be the so-called descendant of an old acquaintance, right?
So… who exactly is that person?"
Kaylyn asked.
Fayne did not imdiately project the second portrait.
Instead, he warned her first.
"Holy Lord, you need to brace yourself.
Because this person…"
"Enough. I'm ready. Just show who it is that has you so—"
Before Kaylyn could finish her sentence, Fayne revealed the image of a man.
The mont she saw that face—
Kaylyn froze.
The words she had been speaking
stuck in her throat.
Her mind felt like it had been struck by lightning.
"This… This is impossible!"
Kaylyn blurted out instinctively.
At that mont, she lost all the composure expected of the leader of a sanctuary.
She beca completely flustered.
"How could this be?! That great lord…
Why would he be here?!"
"That's exactly why I'm so unsettled.
That great lord's face is known everywhere in Crossbridge World.
The mont I saw that face,
I rushed to report this to you."
Fayne said.
Kaylyn did not respond.
She simply stared at the face.
Stared intently.
As if nothing had changed.
As if the passage of ten thousand years had left no mark on him at all.
He still looked…
Just as he had back in Blackwater City.
No.
He looked even younger than he had then.
Of course, Kaylyn knew who this person was.
Her mory suddenly flashed back to that day.
The day she t him.
The day he saved her.
The day he brought her to Blackwater City.
The day he entrusted her with Blackwater City's rule.
The day he elevated Crossbridge Academy into the greatest power in the God Realm.
She remained silent for a long ti.
Finally, Kaylyn slowly sank back into her chair.
Her mind was still dazed.
"Holy Lord, now you understand why I was so shaken, don't you?"
Fayne looked at Kaylyn.
Kaylyn still hadn't recovered from the shock.
Ten thousand years.
For ten thousand years,
everyone had been searching for that great lord.
Across the entire God Realm, across the entire universe…
Yet there had been no trace of him.
And now—
That great lord had reappeared?
And at a re minor guild's examination?!
What had happened in these ten thousand years?!
"No… This… This cannot be him!"
Kaylyn spoke, her thoughts in disarray.
"If it truly were him…
How could he have allowed that event to happen?!"
Her mind was a ss.
"Holy Lord, regardless of everything else,
you should calm yourself.
For now, should we report this to Crossbridge Academy?"
Fayne suggested.
"Crossbridge Academy?"
Hearing this, Kaylyn snapped back to reality.
"No.
Do not inform Crossbridge Academy.
For now, only the two of us know about this, correct?"
"Yes. As soon as I learned of this,
I ca directly to you."
Fayne replied.
"Then… should we go and see that great lord ourselves?
To find out if this is truly him…
Or just a coincidence…"
