Apotheosis

After Elder Xue sent Geoffrey away, he had been very upset all this time.

Unfortunately, he couldn't return to the main world, which meant he had no chance to meet his friends again.

However, though Elder Xue hoped that Geoffrey would bring someone here, he did not expect that it would be so soon.

"We were both loyal to the Four Spirits Sect but we had a disagreement. Is that something to be ashamed of?" Elder Xue asked as he waved his hand.

A bitter smile spread across Hilario's face. "It was not a mere disagreement. Master Kincaid and I chose a path that was a dead end, and this led to the destruction of the Four Spirits Sect." He looked down at his feet. "How can I just forget this?"

"Let bygones be bygones..." As Elder Xue spoke, he put an arm around Hilario and looked at the people behind him. "Where is our king?"

Hilario's soft smile turned into a frown once again. "He passed away."

"How is that even possible?" Elder Xue asked as his body stiffened. "You..."

Because Geoffrey successfully brought these people to the Deep Space, everything should have gone smoothly. As a Treacherous Being, Kincaid had no flaws except for his coordinates. Killing him would be no easy task.

Hilario sighed and did not speak a word.

"What happened?" Elder Xue stepped back as he sensed something had gone wrong.

At the same time, Zen moved forward and cupped his hands before Elder Xue. "Elder Xue, I'm Zen Luo. Geoffrey is my son."

Though Elder Xue had never seen Zen, he had learned much about him through Geoffrey. It was Zen he'd chosen for the plan and for fusing with the ancestry-level bloodline.

"Sir, you've given me a great fortune but I still failed in the end," Zen said as he still looked down in defeat. He shook his head in shame, not wanting to make any eye contact with Elder Xue.

This was the first time they met each other. Standing before him was the man who changed his life.

Since the page had been burnt, Zen's fate had forever been linked to the entire world. The person responsible for this was Elder Xue, but unfortunately, Elder Xue's plan never followed through.

Meanwhile, Elder Xue stretched out his hands and placed them on Zen's head. "As the saying goes, man proposes and fate disposes

well.

If one looked from afar, the Deep Space resembled a flat cone. Though the downgrader broke many of its parts when it was downgraded before, not much of its cone-like structure had changed.

Meanwhile, the fairy palace continued to rise along the axis of the cone. When it reached its peak, it abruptly stopped.

"We can't seem to go up any further," said Zen.

Everyone looked up to the sky as if on command. Each and every world had a boundary, and the boundary of the Deep Space was hovering about eighty feet above them. It floated there like a translucent layer of gray soil.

This was as far as they could go.

"Dad, what do you think is outside the Deep Space?" Geoffrey asked curiously.

"My son, even Clarence can't seem to answer that," replied Zen with a smile and a nudge to his son's head.

"Then why don't you try to break it?" Geoffrey asked again but this time, with his fists clenched. He also knew that this was almost impossible to do, but he was convinced that they should have a try.

"I guess we can have a go."

But just as Zen finished speaking, a black light rapidly rose from below and then slowed down its pace as it neared the fairy palace. It was the black ship controlled by the Evil God.

This was not a surprise to any of them, for the Evil God was unfamiliar with the main world and the Deep Space. He moved around aimlessly as he was chased by the Wall World, and finally, he found himself at the top of the Deep Space just like everybody else.
