Xie Tianyu/Allen was ditating in his room, trying to get rid of the seal placed on his soul.
His veins popped and his ears flushed in frustration as he couldn't remove the seal no matter how much he tried. His divine essence cannot be brought out and neither does his ether energy could remotely leak for him to use.
"Damn it…" He abruptly opened his eyes and punched the floor beneath him, cracking it, "I'm an immortal. Why can't I just break this damn seal put by a re demigod? What was an elf priestess even doing in this world anyways?"
*knock* knock* knock*
"Hi, This is Mark," spoke Mark in English.
"He is here… Sh*t…" Allen let out a deep breath and rose to his feet, "Yes, please co in." He, too, responded in English, although he still couldn't believe that he could understand and speak this unknown language for so reason.
Mark opened the door and got it to see his brother, "Allen, I'm going sowhere. Do you want to tag along?"
"Hmm? Where?" Allen asked.
Mark gave a mysterious smile, "it's going to be a surprise. C'mon, bro. Let's go."
"Uhh… okay." Allen didn't know where but he knew that he had no choice but to follow his captor.
"Do you want to freshen up and change his attire or sothing?" Mark asked, just in case. But then, as Allen told him that he was fine, Mark closed the door and walked toward him, stopping a couple of feet away.
He then mumbled, "Ark, Set to Earth-486."
*Ding! Exploring the mory.
*Ding! The destination is set to Earth-486.
*Ding! Connecting with the Space station.
*Ding! Searching for its current coordinates.
*Ding! Co-ordinates found: Galactic latitude: 35' 47" 23'". Galactic longitude: -12' 56" 42'". Galaxy: M31, Location: Perseus Arm, Sector: 421-Zeta. Planetary orbit: 5th planet from Star M31-JX417.
*Ding! 1,000,000,000 Ether points are consud. Activating Interplanetary Transportation in 60, 59, 58…
With his eyes shut, Mark was conjuring spatial energy inside the room. It was slowly transforming into a portal. Allen waited in silence.
This was the skill Mark worked on during the past four weeks, all in order to get to the destination of the world of Elves.
He practiced in secret, traveling not only to the farthest points on the planet but to even a planet from a bunch of nearby star systems too, although he didn't find any extraterrestrial life in any of those worlds he teleported during the practice. And they were all in 10 light years range, while this one is over 600 light-years far away.
While the Elven world's information was in the system's database, he had no system to travel there directly. He only inherited a bunch of spatial skills, which surely won't get him there. However, he still has spatial energy. As a demigod, he can potentially travel to any place as long as the place is located less than 7000 light years, according to the super artificial intelligence, Ark.
After a minute, the portal was successfully ford, and Mark received another notification from the artificial intelligence.
*Ding! The two worlds are connected. Will be closed in 30 seconds. Please enter before the ti limit.
Opening his eyes, Mark grabbed Allen's arm and dragged him to the portal, "let's go. We don't have much ti."
Before he knows what's going on, Allen enters the portal and his surroundings change to a forest.
*Ding! Master, you arrived at Earth-486.
Allen looked around to find tall trees and almost no sunlight due to the forest's thickness. He couldn't help but ask, "Okay, where are we?"
Mark replied, "Follow ."
The portal slowly closed as both of them walked away.
anwhile, not far away from their location at Sylvandrial Dominion, the silver-haired elven queen, Elowen Silverleaf, and General Zan Rong were kneeling in front of the Statue of Auri-El, the chief deity of the Elven Pantheon.
After their prayer was finished, they stood up and Elowen said, "I still think you should reconsider your decision. C'mon, with your peak-stage-7 circle realm cultivation, how will you survive?"
To which, Zan Rong deeply sighed, "I'm stuck. We tried many thods but nothing worked. I think I can only make a breakthrough when I find myself in a real life-and-death battle. For that, I need to go out in the wild."
"But, why do you have to risk it, Sister Zan," Elowen looked worried.
Zan Rong forcefully smiled as she patted her shoulder, "Sister Elowen, try to understand . I have no choice. That's my husband. I promised you that I would stay here to bring stability. For the past few weeks, there has been nothing but peace on the planet. And I think it is ti for to resu my journey."
Elowen stepped forward a bit and hugged her, "I will miss you."
"I will miss you too."
Zan Rong was patting her back; it was at this mont, all of a sudden, an elf warrior suddenly appeared before the altar and kneeled, "Your Majesty…" His tone was hushed, panting heavily, and his legs were shaking out of heavy strain.
"Hmm?" As both ladies looked at the soldier, the latter spoke, "It's the Hero. He's returned."
"Hero?" "Eh? Lu Zhen?"
Elowen and Zan Rong were taken aback by the news. The forr asked, "Are you sure it is him?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. We confird his identity," replied the soldier before adding, "he is on his way. There was a stranger with him, though."
"Okay, go back and escort Lord Lu to the guest house. We'll be there." Elowen looked at her friend, "Sister Zan, can you wait here for a bit? I need to change."
"Huh? Why?"
After a while, both of them reached the two-story wooden house, located on the outskirts of the dominion. Queen Elowen looked absolutely stunning in her makeup and the best royal attire.
Reaching the residence, she took deep breaths for a while and slowly climbed the stairs.
Both of them reached the door and Elowen let out a graceful smile as she entered, looking at Mark.
"Greetings, Lord…"
"Honey?" Allen imdiately got up from his chair, interrupting Princess.
"Huh?"
He walked toward her at a hastened pace. At the sa ti, Zan Rong rushed past her and reached Allen, stopping just a foot away from him. With a dazed look, she grabbed his cheek, "It's indeed you, Al."
As they embraced each other, crying in emotion for a while, Mark gave a satisfactory nod, thinking, "I didn't introduce her, but he recognized her. Okay, with this, I can confirm that he is my brother. Or atleast, it is 99% likely. As for that one percent, it might be…"
Allen turned around to look at Mark, "Thank you. This is indeed a surprise."
Zan Rong also looked at Mark, "Mark, you managed to fulfill your promise. You found your younger brother."
"So, he is indeed my elder brother?" Thought Allen, giving another look at Mark, not knowing what to do. In the end, he sighed deeply in his heart and turned around to give a 90-degree bow to Mark, taking him by surprise, and said, "I truly apologize for not believing you and lying to you for the past few weeks that I only rembered 2 years worth of mories. I thought this was so trick you were playing but…"
Mark waved his hand with a smile, not letting his brother finish his apology, "That's completely alright, Allen. I found you, and both of you also reunited. There's nothing better than this."
After a while;
Zan Rong: "Oh my god. You married twice, had a kid, another one is on the way, and you even founded a country? That's a lot to take"
Mark: "Yeah, stuff happened."
Allen: "You should know sothing about Little Lu Shan, Honey. I never t him, but I heard from my sister that he is only like 6 months old and is already at 4-circle."
Zan Rong: *stupefied* "What?"
She scread in shock.
Mark: "What can I say… I'm blessed."
Zan Rong: "Omg… that's… that's amazing. I can't wait to see him. Imagine how strong he would beco by the ti he turned adult. He would surpass all of us."
Allen: "I don't think so, Honey."
Mark: "Hmm?"
Allen: "No offense, Brother, but there is no way he could reach the immortal realm in this world."
Mark: "And I think you rushed too much into attaining immortality. You should have stayed in demigod to accumulate ether energy reserves. You only lasted two moves against ."
Allen: *Scoff* "That's because there is a world suppression on my body and you have an advantage because this new body of yours is born there. Or else, I would have wiped the floor with you. Don't underestimate immortals. The difference between a demigod and an immortal is as big as the earth and the heaven."
Mark: "Oh, yeah? For your information, I defeated Saints and even a god."
Allen: "Yeah, right. As if I believe that. You are strong, but there is no way you can defeat a god even if their realm is suppressed by world laws."
Mark: "If you don't want to believe it, don't. But, still, I could defeat you at your strongest state though."
Allen: "My powers are sealed though."
Your adventure continues at empire
Mark: "Well, after returning, I can ask my friend to remove it. We can return here and fight for a round."
Allen: "That's fine by ."
Zan Rong: "Ok, kids, relax a bit, will ya? We just reunited after a long ti, and you two are already going to fight? C'mon, give a break."
"Fine." "Fine."
They collectively sounded.
Walking in the forest, the three of them continued to share about their past without any argunts. Mark shared about the future plans for his country; Allen shared his life as Xie Tianyu during the past couple of years he spent at Xie Clan; and Zan Rong shared her life in this Elf world during the past year.
