Felix told Viggo, "Sir, I'll be going now." Seeing the eager look on Felix's face, Viggo had a bad feeling. It had only been a year. Felix couldn't possibly have gained Soulvision already, right? No way. There was absolutely no way.When Felix reached Trinity Falls, Auroris was already waiting. This was their daily routine. After a brief cuddle with Felix, Auroris would follow the monkey off again. Honestly, Felix had no idea what the two creatures were up to. But in just one year, Auroris had somehow advanced to Royal Realm. Meanwhile, Felix was still stuck at Nebular Realm. No surprise there—he'd spent the entire year at Trinity Falls without actually practicing, so how could his power increase? At first, he just thought Trinity Falls was fascinating. But now, he was catching glimpses of something. If he could fully understand it, he believed his cultivation techniques would be perfected. This was too good an opportunity to miss. Without completing his technique, he coul

Viggo told the Ghostgator, "Come here, buddy. I don't like who's coming this time." The Ghostgator zipped to Viggo's side in a flash. From the look in its cold eyes, it seemed ready for battle. Clearly, these were not friendly visitors. A moment later, a hunchbacked old woman appeared. Her face was deeply wrinkled but oddly covered with rouge, which made her seem eccentric. The sound of her cackling was even worse. She sounded like a rooster crowing with its throat half-squeezed. "Lord Viggo, it's been years. I see you're still enjoying your peaceful life here." Seeing the old woman, Viggo made no attempt to hide his disgust. "Well, if it isn't Scorpia. It really has been many years. Honestly, I thought Duncan had killed you by now. I'm surprised you're still alive." When Duncan was mentioned, a cold glint flashed in Scorpia's eyes. "Humph! Someday, I'll take his head and use it as my chamber pot." Viggo choked on his drink. "You've got guts to talk like that. Duncan could

After the giant bird flew off, Viggo kept his eyes on the sky above the Etherstorm, his gaze unreadable. He was even more certain than Scorpia—there was no doubt that it was Felix. After all, the Etherstorm was directly over Trinity Falls, and there was no mistaking that location.However, it had only been a little over a year, and somehow, Felix had grasped something so powerful that it triggered the arrival of the Etherstorm."Duncan, even you have moments when you're wrong," Viggo mumbled. He recalled how the Duncan had made a bet with him, giving Felix a full ten years to reach enlightenment, implying that any progress within that window would already be extraordinary. And yet, Felix had accomplished something unimaginable in just over a year."I just hope you can hold on... The Etherstorm targets the soul. One misstep, and you're dust."Beneath Trinity Falls, Felix looked up at the strange black clouds swirling in the sky, trying to make sense of what he was seeing. The stor

When he saw Felix fall silent, Viggo chuckled and teased, "What's the matter? Think it sounds a little exaggerated? Scorpia isn't stupid. No matter what kind of enlightenment you achieved, the fact that you triggered the Etherstorm and are now an enemy of the Ruin Order makes you a major threat. "There's no way they'd let you live—they'll throw everything they've got at you. If Duncan doesn't show up, there's no way I can hold them off alone." Felix finally realized why everything felt so rushed. He asked, "Sir, then where are we going?"Viggo wagged his finger. "Not we—you. I still have to honor my bet and head to Earth for 50 years. As for you, if the Human Emperor doesn't make it in time, I've already figured out a place to send you."Felix gave a wry smile. He knew Viggo wasn't being cold, and this wasn't about saving himself either—it was because Viggo understood the Ruin Order would return with thunderous force. They knew Viggo was here, so there was no way they'd send weak

Viggo's decision to personally escort Felix to Visiora wasn't just out of kindness—it carried some personal motives too. If it were only about his friendship with Duncan, that alone wouldn't have been enough for Viggo to take such a major risk.Instead of taking a roundabout route, Viggo doubled back to Azurath. The move was deliberate—it would confuse the Ruin Order and buy more time before they could figure out where Felix had really gone....Meanwhile, just as Felix's aircraft neared Visiora, his communication system suddenly lit up with an incoming message. "Unidentified aircraft, this is Visiora control tower. You are ordered to leave immediately, or you will be shot down."Felix quickly replied, "I have a token from Mr. Linden Yackley. You can verify it in person."There was a moment of silence before the voice came through again. "We will escort you for landing. Any suspicious behavior will result in immediate termination."Within minutes, another aircraft zipped in besid
