Hearing Kaylyn's words, Daniel nodded and then said,
"Alright, prepare a place for Alice as well. There might be so secrets about her."
Kaylyn nodded, indicating that it was not a problem.
After discussing a few other matters, Daniel prepared to enter the secret realm to break through.
At this mont, Kaylyn called out to Daniel and asked,
"Lord Daniel, should we notify the others of your return?"
"For the past ten thousand years, they have been searching for you."
Daniel thought for a mont but ultimately shook his head.
"There's no rush for now. When the ti is right, I will find them myself."
…
On a blood-red mountain peak, a lone figure stood.
Even as fierce winds howled around the summit, the figure remained unaffected, as if untouched by the elents.
Before this figure was a glowing screen displaying nurous silhouettes.
Among them, one figure was unmistakably Dahlia.
If Daniel were here, he would imdiately recognize the figure on the mountaintop—his daughter, Rose!
"It worked!"
Rose spoke.
"Yes."
Suddenly, the space behind Rose tore open.
A figure stepped out.
"Your hypothesis was correct. Under the right conditions, a soul will repair itself, recover its mories once it reaches a certain threshold, and then… beco—"
"I call this kind of entity a ghost."
Rose said.
Then, she turned to look at Nora, who stood behind her, and asked,
"By the way, is everything ready on your end?"
"Yes, it's all set. We've established a basic frawork. But… are you really sure you want to do this?"

Nora looked at Rose with concern.
"Once this begins, there will be no turning back! You will forever dwell in darkness."
Nora's words did not shake Rose's resolve.
On the contrary, they strengthened it.
"Because this is the world my father created, I must protect it! This is what I once promised him."
Nora looked at Rose, sighed, and then asked,
"If Daniel returns, will you still go through with it?"
"Yes. I believe Father will understand . This is also what I want to do."
Rose said before asking again,
"What about Nina? How is she doing?"
"Things are going well on Nina's end."
…
At White Lotus Sanctuary, Kaylyn led Daniel and Alice to the entrance of a secret realm.
This secret realm was modeled after a 5-Elent secret realm from Riverside City—a place Kaylyn had attempted to replicate.
However, she lacked the ability to create a full-fledged 5-Elent secret realm.
She could only use the four elents of earth, water, fire, and wind, forming the current Four-Elent Secret Realm.
Back then, Daniel had accidentally co across that 5-Elent Secret Realm during a territorial dispute among the top forces of Crossbridge World.
Afterward, he had replicated it almost perfectly within Crossbridge Academy.
The results were outstanding.
Because Crossbridge Academy had forges, the secret realm achieved a perfect mana cycle.
In fact, it was even better than the original 5-Elent Secret Realm.
However, since Kaylyn's version only contained four elents, it lacked the full equilibrium of the 5-Elent Secret Realm.
It couldn't achieve perfect self-sustaining balance.
Next, Kaylyn led Daniel into the secret realm.
To Daniel's surprise, what lay before him was…
A courtyard.
A residence that, surprisingly, suited Daniel's aesthetics quite well.
"I know you dislike noise, so I set up this space inside the secret realm. There's a magic array outside, ensuring no disciples will disturb you."
Kaylyn explained.
"That's fine, but…"
Daniel looked at the courtyard and then asked Kaylyn,
"Did you… gather all the mana from the entire secret realm here?"
"That's right. After considering your circumstances, I realized that you hardly ever encounter bottlenecks when breaking through, but you have an enormous demand for mana."
"So I took the liberty of diverting most of the secret realm's mana to this spot."
"Hmm, you were thoughtful."
At Daniel's level, every advancent was pushed to its absolute peak.
Which ant his demand for mana was massive.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to reach the strongest possible state at every stage.
However…
Kaylyn's thod ca at the cost of depleting the White Lotus Sanctuary Secret Realm, which was unfair to other disciples.
So Daniel thought for a mont and used Genesis Energy to condense a leaf.
"I hope this can serve as compensation for White Lotus Sanctuary."
Kaylyn did not recognize the leaf in Daniel's hand.
But she could feel…
A profound and indescribable sense of comfort emanating from it.
This object…
Even as a being above god king, she could not fully comprehend what it was.
One thing was certain—this item would bring her imnse benefits.
Nearby, two others saw this and imdiately spoke up.
"Uncle! I have such a good relationship with Big White. Can I… get a leaf too?"
Cyr said, her senses incredibly sharp.
Even though she couldn't identify the leaf, she knew it was sothing of extraordinary value.
"Lord Daniel, I've been in Riverside City for so long. After all these years, I haven't asked for anything… But—"
Icarus, too, shalessly spoke up.
Daniel looked at the two of them, chuckled, and then said,
"Alright, how about this? You two contribute sothing to compensate for White Lotus Sanctuary's loss, and in return, you each get a leaf."
"Deal!"
"…"
Once this commotion was over, Daniel took Alice into the courtyard to begin his breakthrough.
At this mont, Alice didn't even know what to say anymore.
Daniel…
Wasn't he only a few years older than her?
Why were the three sanctuary lords treating him so humbly?
And even…
Those holy lords seed to have known Daniel for a long ti.
"Brother Daniel, who… exactly are you?"
"Didn't I already hint at it before?"
"In the dream?"
Alice thought back.
When she first t Daniel, she had transford into his daughter's form.
At the ti, she assud Daniel had been lying to her.
Could it be… that it was true?
"Enough. Don't dwell on it too much. What you need to focus on now is improving your strength."
After saying that, Daniel found a suitable place, sat down, and began absorbing mana, preparing to advance to the next level.
This ti, with an entire secret realm's worth of mana, Daniel was confident he could push his strength to a new height!
…
Elsewhere, the three holy lords left the secret realm.
But just as they stepped out, Fayne rushed toward them.
"Holy Lord, bad news!"
Fayne's face was full of panic.
Kaylyn frowned in confusion.
"Fayne, what's wrong now? Tell clearly. Don't panic."
This was the second ti in a short period that Kaylyn had seen this expression on Fayne's face.
The last ti was when he saw Daniel.
What could it be this ti?
**"Holy Lord, bad news! The center of Doom Domain—the place where the sword scar lies—the necro have begun to riot!"
…
In the blink of an eye, three years passed.
By now, Daniel had already reached god sovereign rank, on the verge of breaking through to god king.
Then, from the neighboring area, a surge of energy rippled outward.
It was Alice's breakthrough.
At this mont, Alice had successfully stepped into the god sovereign rank.
Seeing this, Daniel felt sowhat satisfied.
It seed his efforts had not been in vain.
By helping Alice improve her talent, she had reached god sovereign in just a few short years.
