The Shining Star Above The Heaven

While in the middle of his conversation with the spirit ancestor and others, Vars suddenly sent him a voice transmission that made him stop speaking.

'Master, I received an order from the patriarch. Our mission here seems to be shortened, and we are asked to prepare to leave within the next three weeks. We were ordered to gather as much information as possible about you during that time.'

Aldrian raised his eyebrows. This kind of order seemed strange, and for the Barevisk family to pull back their spies from the Barisan continent even though they had not been there for long was something that required his attention. Was there some change in the Barevisk family that made the patriarch recall the spies?

'Do you know anything, or have any guess why they would pull your team out, and even set a limit of three weeks?' Aldrian asked.

As of this moment, the others knew that Aldrian seemed to be communicating with someone through voice transmission, since he suddenly turned silent in the middle of their conversation. They did not know who he was contacting, but they still waited for him to finish.

'I don't know, Master. I'm also surprised by this development. Initially, we had an indefinite amount of time here, but for the patriarch to suddenly call us back, it seems something must have happened for him to recall us. And with it being three weeks, if I have to guess, maybe something will happen after that time,' Vars answered.

Aldrian thought for a moment before he replied.

'Alright, just continue what you are doing. Let me know if there is any new development.'

'Yes, Master.' After that, he cut off the communication. But Aldrian could not help thinking about what Vars had told him. What was the Barevisk—no, more specifically, the Valroy family planning? For the Barevisk family to order their spies to return after three weeks, the Valroy family must have told them something.

Did they achieve something that made them pull the spies? No, he doubted that, since the information that came in every report so far did not contain anything important, at least in his eyes. Then what other reason could have made the Barevisk family recall their spies?

"Is everything alright, Your Majesty?"

Aldrian's thoughts were interrupted by Zhu Yanling's question. Now that she, and everyone else here, already knew his status in the Barisan continent, the way she addressed him had also changed. He smiled and nodded.

"Everything is fine. I just received some information from one of my men, and it seems I have to return to the Barisan continent," he said, which made the others here sigh.

Hearing that Aldrian wanted to go back, they felt regretful, as there were still many things they wished to discuss with him.

"I see. It's truly unfortunate, but I hope Your Majesty could visit this place again in the future. We will greet you more properly than we did this time," Zhu Yanling said.

"Alright. Or perhaps you could visit the Barisan continent in the near future, as I have decided to open it no later than a month from now," Aldrian said, which surprised the others.

He could not help but think that whatever the Valroy family planned, it would be better if he opened the Barisan continent to the world as soon as possible. He wondered if they would come to him directly once the continent was opened, since it would be much easier to gather information from them that way.

Although he felt the opening was somewhat too early, he thought it was still acceptable. With the connections he had already built with other powers during his short journey outside the Barisan continent, it would be enough for early support.

So, besides his own existence as the leader of the Barisan continent, there were also many powers that stood beside him, which in the end would raise the Barisan continent's position despite its weakness.

"Is that so? Then we will surely come to the Barisan continent once you open it, Your Majesty. I am truly curious to see the continent for myself," Shen Longwei said in an eager tone.

Aldrian nodded, then stood up.

"Anyway, this is it. To be honest, I would like to stay longer, but unfortunately something came up that requires me to return first. I will be waiting for your visit in the future."

"It's okay, Your Majesty. You can finish your business, and my territory will always be open to you. You may visit us anytime, and I would gladly visit the Barisan continent once Your Majesty announces its opening," Zhu Yanling said.

"The dragons will also welcome Your Majesty anytime you visit us in the future," Shen Longwei said.

"It seems this will be the first time I make a journey outside the Beast Continent. It has been so long since I last traveled outside," the spirit ancestor said, which made her retainer and guard look at her with concern.

"Elder, what about those who would try to harm you if you decided to leave?" her guard asked.

Shen Longwei suddenly snorted when he heard that. "You don't have to worry about anyone who wants to harm Elder Sariel. I want to see who dares to touch her in my presence. I will be the one to protect her," he said.

"You don't have to worry Lady Marvil. I will also protect Elder Sariel, so with our protection, no one would dare to touch her," Zhu Yanling said.

However, the Spirit Ancestor's personal guard still looked worried.

"I am truly thankful that the Dragon King and the Phoenix Queen will personally protect Elder Sariel, but humans can be cunning. They could still do something without us knowing. With many of them seeing Elder as a threat that must be eliminated, I worry that a few may still recklessly take action, since Elder will be leaving the Beast Continent for the first time in such a long time," she said.

"You don't have to worry about the humans, Lady Marvil. Believe me, no harm will come to Elder Sariel if she visits the Barisan continent. I personally guarantee that no one would dare to make a reckless move there—no, I dare say, not anywhere in the Ancient Blue Gate World," Aldrian suddenly said, his words filled with assurance.

The others who heard it felt that the statement was truly arrogant, but this was Aldrian they were talking about. He had the power to back it up. If he was confident enough to guarantee Elder Sariel's protection across the entire world, then perhaps he truly had the strength to do so.

The Spirit Ancestor's personal guard sighed and nodded.

"Alright, if Your Majesty Aldrian has already said that, then I have nothing more to worry about. I am truly thankful for Your Majesties' support in the future."

Aldrian nodded, while the Dragon King and Phoenix Queen smiled.

"I am truly sorry for troubling all of you, people of esteemed status, to concern yourselves with me simply because I wish to make a journey outside. I truly feel ashamed," the Spirit Ancestor suddenly said, which made Aldrian smile.

"No, Elder, really it is nothing. You do not have to feel ashamed or troubled. King Shen, Queen Zhu, and I voluntarily assure your safety, it is nothing close to a burden. As for me, although it may sound arrogant, believe me when I say you are safe across the entire Ancient Blue Gate World. As long as you are in this world, I can assure your safety from anyone, no matter who they are," he said.

The others, once again hearing Aldrian's strong and seemingly arrogant assurance, were reminded of how absurd his existence as a human truly was. After their discussion, they understood why the Spirit Ancestor had asked if Aldrian was a god in a mortal body. They simply could not comprehend how someone like him could exist.

If an existence like the Celestial Night Spirit, said to be adored by the heavens, was enough to stir jealousy, and if beings such as the Dragon King and Phoenix Queen could make others envious, then what about Aldrian? Their uniqueness and power were truly like nothing in front of him, and he was still only in the low pseudo-immortal establishment stage!

He could already do many things with his current cultivation, which was incomprehensible. What would happen if he reached the peak pseudo-immortal stage? Would he be able to fight against many immortals with ease? The thought alone made them shudder.

The Spirit Ancestor sighed and nodded. "Thank you for the assurance, Your Majesty. I truly appreciate it."

Aldrian nodded.

"Your Majesty, if it's alright, would you like to use one of our cruisers for your journey back? You could rest while some of my men control the cruiser to the Barisan continent," Shen Longwei said.

Aldrian smiled and shook his head."Thank you, but that won't be necessary. I can teleport directly from here to the Barisan continent," he said, which left the others astonished.

"Well then, thank you for all of your hospitality. I will be waiting for your arrival in the near future." After saying that, Aldrian disappeared, shocking the others.

They truly could not sense anything from Aldrian's teleportation, and they remained speechless. Could he really teleport directly to the Barisan continent from here?
