Chapter 568: Returning to Earth

"Wow, is this the Cloud Realm that Brother mentioned? It really looks very vast! But it always makes one feel empty!"

As soon as she appeared in the Cloud Realm, Xiaona began to curiously look around at the surroundings.

"Are we floating in the Void?" Xia Shi looked around with a curious face.

"Welcome to my territory, the Cloud Realm!" Ruoxi's figure appeared in the Void.

"Ruoxi, you said this place is your territory?" Xiaona looked at Ruoxi in surprise.

"That's right, this entire world is my territory! Of course, it's also Brother's!" Ruoxi wrinkled her little nose and said with a proud face.

"Hmm, that place has a very large building!" Tina's gaze suddenly looked into the distance.

"That place is Aincrad, and it is also Yui's territory!" Ruoxi introduced.

"Aincrad? Yui?" A pile of question marks appeared above Xiaona's head.

"Papa—" Just at this moment, a small figure suddenly pounced down from the sky and landed in Lingyun's arms.

"Papa?" Xiaona and the others all looked at this little girl, who was not much older than themselves, with strange expressions.

"Hmm, this is really a miscalculation. I didn't expect Brother Lingyun to actually have a child!" Senju Kayo frowned and muttered.

"Little sister, why do you call Brother Lingyun 'Papa'?" Xiaona looked at Yui in Lingyun's arms with some curiosity.

"Because Papa is the one who gave me life!" Yui hugged Lingyun's neck tightly and said with a giggle.

"Gave you life?" Xiaona and the others looked at each other and found that the mysteries surrounding Lingyun seemed to have increased.

"Right, for this period of time, your residence will be on Aincrad!" Lingyun pointed into the distance and said.

"Aincrad? What kind of place is that?" Senju Kayo asked.

"Look, it's coming over!" Lingyun pointed at the sky.

"Wow, this is too exaggerated!"

Looking at the giant floating city flying toward them in the sky, all the Cursed Children present opened their mouths wide.

"A castle flying in the sky, this is simply something that would only appear in a dream!"

"Hmm, Xia Xia, are we still in a dream? We actually saw a castle flying in the sky?"

"I feel the same way. How could a castle flying in the sky appear in this world!"

A group of Cursed Children chattered, their tones full of disbelief.

"Alright, no need to be so surprised. The things you see in the future will be even more magical." Lingyun said with a smile. "Right, your home for now will be temporarily set on Aincrad. As for what your future home will be like, it depends on your own choices and designs!"

"Really? Can we really live in this place?" A Cursed Child looked at Lingyun with an excited face.

"That's right, you can choose the places you like to live in!" Lingyun said with a smile. "However, the future construction of the Cloud Realm will depend on your help!"

"No problem, leave it to us!" That Cursed Child said with a serious face.

Yui opened her hand, and a huge Array appeared before everyone.

"This is the portal leading to Aincrad. You can go to Aincrad through this portal!"

"Is this the legendary portal? It looks really magical!"

A Cursed Child stood on the Array with a curious face. Only to see a flash of silver light, and that Cursed Child disappeared into the Array.

"I'll try it too, I'll try it too!"

One after another, the Cursed Children stepped onto the portal and were transported into Aincrad.

"Yui, I'll leave the responsibility of those children's residences to you for now!" Lingyun patted Yui's head.

"Okay, Papa!" Yui nodded vigorously.

It took quite a bit of effort for Lingyun to settle down these little girls who were overexcited about coming to a brand-new world.

What made Lingyun happiest was that the once cold and quiet Cloud Realm finally had a little bit of popularity. At the very least, when Ruoxi was in the Cloud Realm, she could find some people to chat and play with.

Aincrad, First Floor, Great Grassland.

"Lingyun, this world has ended. What are your thoughts for the next step?" Chen Jing sat on a large rock, looking at the Cursed Children chasing after wild boars in the distance, and asked Lingyun beside her.

"If your current strength were placed in the classification of Earth's strength, you would have long since entered the Golden Core stage!" Lingyun said.

"That's right."

"Then, let's return to Earth first! We can go to that International Exchange Conference you have always yearned for!" Lingyun said.

"Eh?" Chen Jing tilted her head and responded in a somewhat dazed and cute manner.

"Isn't this something you two have been looking forward to, and the reason you have been working hard to cultivate all these days?"

"Hmm, it seems we forgot about this matter!" Su Wanyue stuck out her tongue and said.

"Then what are your thoughts now?" Lingyun asked.

"Go, how could we not go!" Chen Jing jumped up all of a sudden, "We really want to see what those top geniuses on Earth actually look like!"

"What about you, Wanyue?"

"I'm going too!"

"Alright then, let's return to Earth next!"

"But, what about the Continent on the other side..."

"Don't worry, I have already finished locating the Space-Time Coordinate of that Continent. When the time comes, just have Brother borrow the Space-Time Coordinate to jump back!" Ruoxi said while raising her little hand.

"Is there really no problem?" Su Wanyue asked.

"No problem, Brother has already done this several times before!" Ruoxi said with a smile.

"Then, let's go back. I miss my brother and my parents a little." Su Wanyue looked toward Lingyun.

"Brother, this is the previous Space-Time Coordinate of Earth!" A small Light Ball appeared in Ruoxi's hand.

Lingyun took the Light Ball, and overlapping rays of light unfolded from his hand, finally transforming into a gateway.

Earth, in Lingyun's Villa.

The Void began to twist, and a light gate slowly appeared in the Void.

"Mm, finally back. It feels just like I went on a long trip!"

Chen Jing was the first to step out of the light gate, stretching her body. She glanced at the electronic calendar hanging on the wall; exactly seven days had passed.

"Lingyun, I want to go home first, then I'll meet up with you all later!" Su Wanyue said to Lingyun.

"Eh, it looks like there's a package!" Chen Jing took out her phone and said, "I don't remember buying anything recently!"

It didn't take long for Chen Jing to retrieve the package.

"This package is strange!" This was the first thing Chen Jing said after seeing the package.

"Then let's see what's actually inside this package!" Su Wanyue said with an indifferent expression.

Everyone currently in the room was at least at the Golden Core realm; how could a mere strange package possibly worry them?

"This is... an invitation to the Dark World International Exchange Conference?" After seeing the contents of the package, the corners of Chen Jing's mouth couldn't help but twitch. "Since when are such valuable items sent by courier? Aren't they afraid of it getting lost?"

"There is an Array on it. If the intended person doesn't receive it, it cannot be opened. Even if opened by force, the contents inside will self-destruct," Lingyun said, looking at the package box.

"There are two invitations inside, one for me and one for Wanyue?" Chen Jing looked at the invitations in her hand with some surprise.

"Since they are your invitations, then you should keep them," Lingyun said.

"Lingyun, do you know something?" Chen Jing recalled the matter of Lingyun asking her to deliver a letter to Chen Rui earlier.

"I do know a few things. The forces behind you two are quite the big shots!" Lingyun smiled and did not answer their question directly.
