Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Before the two people from the Upper Realm could speak, Ye Tian was already in a daze. A few decades ago, a woman had said the same thing.

There should be no problem this time.

Ye Tian thought to himself. He was already a nine-star Magister and was very close to the requirements to enter the Upper Realm.

However, the woman turned to look at Ye Tian and shook her head at Annie.

“No way.”

Annie was not the only one who was stunned. Even Ye Tian could not understand.

Annie asked, “Why?”

In his impression, Ye Tian was stronger than him, his cultivation speed was faster, and his talent and aptitude were more outstanding than his.

The woman pondered for two seconds.

“There are rules in the Upper Realm. Every spot has to be strictly reviewed. Our goal for coming down this time is very clear. It’s you, Madam Annie. We can only bring you up alone.”

Annie said without thinking: “I don’t care about the rules. Anyway, I want to be with Ye Tian. If you can’t bring him along, I won’t go either. Sorry for making you guys come here for nothing.”

A troubled expression immediately appeared on the woman’s face. If not for the competition just now, they would definitely not have asked for Annie’s opinion. Instead, they would have brought her directly to the Upper Realm.

She had a clear understanding of her companions. They were people with good strength.

However, in the Lower Realm, the fact that Ye Tian could easily withstand the lightning spell that he was proficient in meant that he was not simple either.

At that moment, Ye Tian glanced at Annie and said, “The two of you, I’ll talk to her alone about heading to the Upper Realm. Wait a moment.”

The woman nodded slightly and watched the two of them leave.

“In my opinion, if the two of us join forces, no matter how strong Ye Tian is, can he stop us together?”

The man immediately said impatiently when he saw that the person had left.

This was his first time coming to the Lower Realm to take in a disciple. He originally thought that it would be a very simple matter, but he did not expect it to be so troublesome.

The woman glanced at him and shook her head gently.

“No, Annie’s relationship with Ye Tian is not ordinary. What if we attack Ye Tian and provoke her into doing something bad? How are we going to explain when we go back?”

“It’s not like you don’t know the penalty for failing a mission.”

“Moreover, the Stardust Valley incident has given the elders of the association a huge stimulation. They take this matter very seriously.”

At the mention of the association’s elder, the man opened his mouth but did not make a sound. His expression slowly calmed down.

On the other side, Ye Tian pulled Annie into the room.

Knowing what Ye Tian was about to say, Annie pressed his lips and spoke first.

“Don’t try to persuade me. I don’t want to leave you.”

Removing his hand from his mouth, Ye Tian said firmly, “No. I can let you be willful about other things, but in this case, you have to listen to me.”

Without giving Annie a chance to speak, Ye Tian continued to help her analyze their relationship.

“The Upper Realm is not unreachable. You know that it won’t be long before I can head to the Upper Realm.”

“However, if you don’t go, your strength will stagnate for a long time. You will slowly age and die.”

“Our temporary separation now is only for a longer reunion in the future. Therefore, you can’t be willful. You have to go to the Upper Realm.”

In Ye Tian’s heart, there were not many people that he cared about.

Annie held Ye Tian’s hand tightly.

“Promise me you’ll come to me.”

Looking into Annie’s affectionate eyes, Ye Tian nodded.

Then, the two of them walked out of the room. Facing the people from the Upper Realm, Ye Tian informed them of his new choice. When they found out that Annie was willing to go to the Upper Realm, they revealed relaxed smiles, as if the huge rock in their hearts had finally been lifted.

The two people from the Upper Realm did not set off immediately and agreed to Ye Tian’s invitation.

At night, the four of them sat together for dinner and Ye Tian casually asked, “Can you tell me about the situation in the Upper Realm?”

This was to make plans for the future. Going to the Upper Realm was something Ye Tian had to do. There was no harm in understanding it in advance.

It was the man who answered.

“Although it’s called the Upper Realm, it’s actually just a place larger and more abundant in magical elements than this world. We’re usually not called the Upper Realm, but the Magic Spirit World.”

“Magic Spirit World?”

Annie was puzzled.

The man nodded slightly.

“Because there are not only humans in that world, but also elves, vampires, werewolves, magical beasts, and even gods!”

“It’s called the Magic Spirit World because magic and all kinds of living beings gather together.”

“In the Magic Spirit World, the wilderness is usually a very dangerous place. It’s fine during the day, but at least there’s enough light. Once it’s nighttime, all kinds of dangers will appear.”

At that point, the man paused and turned to Ye Tian.

“If you break through the realm wall and come to the Upper Realm in the future, you should be in the Heavenly Well. I have a reminder that you have to remember.”

Ye Tian’s expression turned serious as he nodded slightly for the other party to explain.

The man said, “The Heavenly Well is jointly controlled by six factions. It’s not only connected to your world. Everyone who goes to the Upper Realm will be registered and assigned different areas and missions according to their strength and aptitude. No matter what mission it is, don’t refuse.”

“Remember, you can’t refuse, because your refusal is equivalent to provoking the six factions. If you offend them, you won’t be able to move an inch in the Magic Spirit World.”

A question flashed through Ye Tian’s mind and he blurted out, “Even if the mission is for me to die, I can’t refuse it?”

The man did not expect Ye Tian to ask such a question. He was stunned for a moment before saying,

“You can understand it that way. If you do a mission that you know you’re going to die, you still have a chance of survival. However, if you refuse, you’ll be targeted by the six factions. You’ll really have no chance of survival.”

He did not expect the Upper Realm to be so cruel… He would encounter such a crisis just by arriving through the passageway.

Ye Tian, who had some understanding of the situation, could not help but sigh.

The man smiled and said, “Actually, I feel that you don’t have to worry. For you to be able to cultivate to a nine-star Magister in a place like the Lower Realm, it already shows your potential and aptitude. Those six factions also hope to take in new blood to improve. They won’t be too harsh on you.”

Ye Tian smiled awkwardly and did not reply.

‘My talent and aptitude… If there’s really no problem, will I be expelled from the academy?’

The next morning, Annie packed her luggage and stood in the courtyard with a man and a woman from the Upper Realm beside her.

“Ye Tian, you must come and find me.”

As she was about to leave, Annie found it difficult to control her emotions. Her voice revealed that she was crying.

Ye Tian nodded seriously and waved at the three people who were carried away by the wind into the sky.

With a flash of light in the woman’s hand, a door of light opened in the sky, and the three figures disappeared inside.
