âCould someone have gotten ahead of us?â
Juvia started panicking. She had been working on this for ten thousand years. She couldnât possibly let
anyone take the rewards of her hard work after all.
âDamn it, who could it be?â
âIs it someone from the Seven Brilliance?â
Seeing that the boundary was enhanced again, she assumed that more enemies were now arranging
new tactics against them. Moreover, she couldnât sense anything but Cherylâs touch, despite being
connected⦠Hence, she couldnât get any information about this universe, instead could feel every
single sensation when Barne was making love to Cheryl. She had to experience such odd punishment
countless times.

Alex
âNo, I have to think of a way!â
Just then, Aria rushed over to her. âSister, good news!â
âWhat is it?â
âI just received news that Big Brother is coming. He will be bringing the Shuttle of Nine Stars with him.â
âWhat? The Shuttle of Nine Stars?! This is great⦠With that, we would be able to break through this
turtle shell in a shorter period of time. When is he arriving?â
Aria said, âHeâs already on the way, taking the Shadowless Car. Heâd likely reach here within two days!â

After Barne and the others set the boundary, they left the Genbu Dungeon.

Alex
âItâs almost time. The Beast King Pool should be open soon!â Phoenix turned to Paul.
Paul.
Alex.
âHave those people arrived yet?â
âAlmost. I can sense a few familiar people. Ah, this brings me back, itâs been so many years, and yet
these old things are still alive and well.â Phoenix looked towards a distance, sounding rather
melancholic.
Barne asked, âAre all of them your friends?â
Barne
Alex
âFriends?â
Phoenix smiled coldly. âKind of⦠We just fought back in the Undead territory then. Theyâre old friends
who wanted me dead. How else did you think I became this way. Iâm neither human nor ghost.â
Barneâs eyes widened. âIs it because of them?â
Barne
Alex
Phoenix nodded. âYeah! I will never forget how the people around me started falling one by one. I
swore to take revenge for them⦠Considering our situation now, those who died would agree if I make
these old friends suffer the same fate, right?â
Barne concentrated and was able to feel some faint divine consciousness brushing over his body. If his
mental power werenât strong enough, he wouldnât be able to feel it either.
Barne
Alex
âLetâs go. Itâs time!â
âAre we really going to the Beast King Pool?â
âOf course, how else are we going to make that sly old fox take the bait?â
More importantly, the Beast King Pool was not on Earth. It was situated in another world within the
universe.
Not long after, Saria showed up with a boat that could sail through space.
Josef, Phoenix, and Saria then secretly left America in the middle of the night, rushing up towards the
void. Although Barne could already go through voids, this was the first time he had to leave Earth. Heâd
be able to look at Earth from space yet it looked completely different from what the media showed the
public.
Josef,

âCould it be⦠That the ancient boundary was completely sealed off?â
