You all heard me,\" he said. \"Start preparing your things. We’re moving.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples blinked, then nodded almost at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They quickly split up, heading back to their rooms to pack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia stretched her arms. \"Guess it’s a temporary move,\" she said. \"Don’t unpack too neatly, everyone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara laughed. \"Too late. I already like dramatic relocations.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel gave Garion a small nod before turning to leave as well. \"I’ll make sure everyone is ready.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion stopped her for a moment. \"Rachel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned back. \"Yes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep an eye on Velion,\" he said quietly. \"He’s a demon. Not dangerous, but... still sensitive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel smiled warmly. \"Don’t worry, Garion. I’ll take care of him like the others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded, relieved, and watched her walk away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the area cleared, he turned slightly and spoke out loud. \"Atlas.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Here.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright,\" Garion said. \"Which islands are closest to Demon Gate Island?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The nearest ones still require roughly one day of flight. There are six islands in total.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A screen appeared, showing the surrounding sea and land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[They include Nature God Island, Flame God Island, and Thunder God Island... the ones you previously assigned to the Avenora and Revalis clans.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The remaining three islands have not yet been modified.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion crossed his arms, studying the map. \"So... can I turn the remaining three into proper god islands too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You can.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atlas paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[But it will take a long time.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion clicked his tongue. \"Damn. Are there any[Origins]on those islands? I could speed things up if there were.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Negative.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Those islands have no detectable origins.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion let out a slow breath. \"Figures.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tapped the screen once, then nodded. \"Alright then. For now, we’ll move everyone to Nature God Island first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Understood.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion straightened his posture. \"Temporary move first. Then... I’ll rebuild this place properly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples gathered at the edge of the platform, lined up one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of them wore a simple ring on their finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion looked at them and said, \"You all got your spatial rings already, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia lifted her hand and waved it lightly. \"Got it. Everything I own is in here. Kind of scary how empty my room feels now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara spun her ring once. \"I tried stuffing extra clothes inside just to see if it would explode. It didn’t. A little disappointing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor snorted. \"Why would you even test that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden adjusted his sleeve and nodded. \"It’s... very convenient. I double-checked everything three times.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eliza silently raised her hand to show the ring, then gave a small nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion glanced around the group. \"Good. Don’t lose them. If you do, the maker will haunt you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I will judge silently.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several disciples stiffened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia grinned. \"See? Worse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion turned serious again and looked at everyone. \"Alright. Are you all ready?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the nods were firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel stepped forward. \"Everyone is accounted for. Even Velion is ready.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Velion stood a little to the side, holding his ring carefully. \"I’ve packed... very lightly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s fine,\" Garion said. \"You can get more later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flying ships hovered nearby, their decks lowered for boarding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, the disciples stepped onto the ships.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some looked back at the familiar buildings of the God Gym, others chatted quietly, trying to hide their excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia crossed her arms as she walked up the ramp. \"So this is a temporary goodbye, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion followed behind them. \"Temporary. Don’t get sentimental.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valtor laughed. \"Too late.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once everyone was aboard, Garion took the lead ship as well. He leaned against the railing, eyes forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll explain everything to Raviel and Aveline on the way,\" he said calmly. \"When we arrive, we’ll settle in, then start training like usual.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ships slowly lifted off the ground and went straight toward the Nature God Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, onNature God Island, the morning was calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric stood near the training terraces, sleeves rolled up, checking the progress of several newly planted spirit trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, his wife was busy giving instructions to a group of younger clan members, her tone firm but relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Raviel and Aveline were the clan’s patriarch and matriarch, most of the daily work still fell to the two of them, as it always had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Move that one a little to the left,\" she said, pointing. \"If the roots overlap, it’ll weaken both trees.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric nodded in approval. \"Good. Don’t rush. Nature cultivation rewards patience.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything felt normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the light shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric paused mid-step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His brow furrowed slightly as a shadow passed over the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted his head, squinting toward the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...That’s strange.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His wife followed his gaze. At first, she thought it was a cloud. Then another appeared. And another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those weren’t clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were flying ships.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are there so many?\" she muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the ships descended lower, the markings became clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...God Gym,\" Rendric said slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes widened. \"All of them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The younger clan members stopped what they were doing, pointing upward and whispering among themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did something happen?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there a problem?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric straightened his back. Instead of alarm, a faint smile appeared on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So they’ve finally come,\" he said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His wife glanced at him. \"You don’t look worried.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not,\" Rendric replied. \"If this were bad news, Garion wouldn’t arrive like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ships slowed and began to descend in an orderly formation, lining up above the open grounds near the central area of the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sight was impressive, almost overwhelming, but there was no pressure, no hostility. Just presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric let out a small breath and brushed the dirt from his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright,\" he said, already walking forward. \"No point keeping them waiting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His wife fell into step beside him. \"You think this is about territory? Or training?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendric chuckled softly. \"Knowing Garion? Probably both. Or something even bigger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they moved to greet the incoming ships, the confusion remained but beneath it was clear excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever this was, it wasn’t trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>",1006,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.543Z",1,"novelbin.me","50716f35de8aeafd758db20749cd98e06b5215f6f3d59de8b3731eb44ab8d6ce","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-398","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-396",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
