If Lord Daniel returns to Crossbridge Academy, you should be able to get clearer information.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't ask further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that Randy only had a vague understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He probably knew even less than Icarus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that case, the only option Daniel had now was to increase his strength first and then personally find Rose for answers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel led Alice toward the main body of the Tree of Origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, Alice didn't chatter as usual.

Why would someone as powerful as you insist on keeping me by your side?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice asked in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically speaking, she should have been settled somewhere safe, just like Freya or Sark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather than staying by Daniel's side all the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Alice's question, Daniel fell silent for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he didn't know how to answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even he hadn't fully figured it out yet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I suppose there must be a reason, right?

The truth is, I sensed a familiar aura on you, but I don't know exactly who it belongs to, so I wanted to find out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Daniel's answer, Alice showed no emotional reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She accepted it very easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, Alice spoke on her own:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually… sometimes, I feel strange too. It's like I'm someone else… but still myself…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, don't think too much about it now. Focus on getting stronger—you'll find the answer eventually!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, ten years had gone by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the past ten years, a massive influx of people had entered Crossbridge World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Crossbridge World had managed these populations efficiently, preventing any major incidents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During these ten years, necro outbreaks had started appearing in even more worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This gave people a growing sense of unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if a new catastrophe was brewing in the God Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A storm was coming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to Randy, this was nothing to be anxious about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he was as steady as a mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he knew—that man had returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for these so-called crises, in his presence, they were utterly insignificant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, before going into seclusion, that man had specifically instructed him not to reveal his return to others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Randy had kept this secret buried in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing others panic about the situation, Randy not only remained calm but even found it amusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How are things now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While drinking tea, Randy suddenly heard a voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Greetings, Lord Daniel! My lord, have you emerged from seclusion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After ten years, Randy once again sensed that aura from Daniel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That aura of… absolute control over everything!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And… fully returned?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel smiled and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is all thanks to the Tree of Origin. If not for it, I wouldn't have recovered so quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Daniel had likely reached the limits of the new God Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he wasn't as strong as when he had extracted all his mana, to the point where the entire universe could no longer contain him—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't weak either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Congratulations, Lord Daniel! I will prepare a feast to celebrate your return!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's no need for that. This time, I've come to say goodbye.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Goodbye?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. Now, I should head to the academy and figure out what's going on!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Randy nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And that little girl…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's fine, don't worry about her. Let her stay with the Tree of Origin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel said as he left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he had to find out what was really happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You, what are you doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've long heard of this academy's great reputation, so I came to take a look…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Register!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man quickly filled out the form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man glanced at it and then said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enjoy new stories from My Virtual Library Empire\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the age section, did you write this wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I just turned fifty this year!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph!

Don't worry about what they say. Class doesn't determine worth! Just focus on doing your best!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, tell me properly—who dared to say such things? Looks like some people in this academy need their attitudes corrected!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was those…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl rattled off several names.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got it. Tomorrow, I'll have their parents take them home for a proper lesson.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl was skeptical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, her grandfather was just a gatekeeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could he really do that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry! Your grandpa can do anything! This is nothing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When I was young, I was—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man was about to brag when suddenly a voice interrupted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"5-Element, you bastard, are you… guarding the gate now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 5-Element God King's expression immediately turned furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Couldn't they see he was in the middle of boasting—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he turned to look at the person who had interrupted him, his eyes widened in shock!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because no matter how much he tried to convince himself otherwise—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't believe what he was seeing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You… you're…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Holy shit!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big brother!!!
