The second was a massive ocean where water-path whales swam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eighth floor burst with green life, and the tenth felt dark and endless. But the eleventh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Totally different. It was just a small room, more like someone’s messy library mixed with an alchemy lab.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only a little bigger than those waiting rooms they had seen before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Books and strange materials covered every inch. Right in the middle sat a simple table loaded with stuff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this really the eleventh floor...?\" Rosalina muttered, completely stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Correct,\" the same voice echoed again, now sounding much closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius and Rosalina jumped at the sudden reply and looked down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There stood a boy who looked about ten years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a full head of auburn hair and bright blue eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face was small, his body tiny, and the oversized clothes hanging off him made him look ridiculously cute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you?\" Julius asked, his brows pulling together in a deep frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no info about this floor, so his guard shot straight up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too many things had already changed in this world. Better safe than sorry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy gave a small, polite bow like he was greeting royalty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am the memory remnant of the Lone King, and the guide for the eleventh floor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice came out with a little squeak at the end, which somehow made him even cuter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How cute...\" Rosalina smiled, her eyes softening. She reached out to pat the boy’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy instantly stepped back, dodging her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please refrain from touching me,\" he said, moving sideways. \"I may not look like it, but I am very old.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina’s hand hung in the air for a second before she pulled it back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt a bit awkward, but the boy’s cuteness still calmed her down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned to Julius with a grin. \"Do you think ours would be as cute as him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How would I know?\" Julius shrugged, then stepped closer to the boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, what’s the trial for the eleventh floor?\" He didn’t want to waste any time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The longer they stayed, the higher the chance the dean would show up. Grab the inheritance and get out, that was the plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The invincible path was the only reason he had risked coming in here at all. ’Who knows,’ he thought with a smirk, ’if I get the invincible path, I might finally be able to kill that fucker.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole situation felt like a bad joke. After all the deadly trials and giant monsters, the final floor turned out to be a cozy little study run by a sassy kid in baggy clothes. Julius almost wanted to laugh. Almost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t laugh. Instead, Julius took one step forward and entered the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Earlier you said you are the memory remnant of the Lone King. Is that correct?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked, eyes scanning every corner of the small space. Rosalina followed right behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment both of them stepped inside, the big door let out a soft creak and closed shut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius stared at it for a second, thoughts racing, when the small Lone King spoke up again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed,\" the boy said in a calm voice. He took a slow step toward the table in the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius and Rosalina followed, listening closely. \"As you must know, inside our heads there is something called a memory cord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He explained it steadily while walking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Every memory we ever had is stored there, and each part holds a different phase. This body of mine contains all the information about the enlightenment and insights I gained on the time path and...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stopped right in front of the table. His voice dropped to a whisper. \"...the invincible path!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said it with a serious face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius and Rosalina stared at him for a moment, then gave a short nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I may,\" Julius spoke, his tone turning very respectful, \"can I ask, Senior, if the remains of the invincible path are from the four stationary continents or not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina noticed his respectful shift and quickly copied it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Senior. Is the inheritance from the four stationary continents?\" she asked the same question. This mattered a lot to both of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the novel TST, Crypian had found the invincible path inside the 101 Treasure Tower on the four stationary continents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was also where the first mention of the invincible oath appeared. But now everything felt off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lone King’s inheritance had shown up with the invincible path too, completely outside the book’s plot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius felt suspicious. Could his own actions have caused this change? It was possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither he nor Rosalina had entered the tower in their last life, and they weren’t even at the academy back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time they were here, so maybe something had shifted without them realizing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Lone King’s invincible path info really came from the four stationary continents, it would clear up whether Crypian had secretly learned about it from this place first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small Lone King fell deep into thought, like he was arguing with himself over something important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius and Rosalina kept their faces blank, showing neither excitement nor boredom. They just waited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, the boy nodded. \"Yes, the remains of the invincible path I hold are from the four stationary continents,\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then may we know exactly where you found them?\" Rosalina asked, keeping her voice lightly interested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, both she and Julius had already guessed the answer, but they wanted to hear it straight from him for full confirmation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lone King shook his head. \"I cannot tell you that. As per the agreement with ’that’ person, I am unable to reveal anything further.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Julius and Rosalina frowned at the same time. ’That person?’ they wondered together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius racked his brain, digging through every detail from the book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was there some hidden character in charge of the Treasure Tower? No answer came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Looks like this mystery won’t be solved until I get there myself,’ he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked back at the boy. No point asking twice. Better move on. \"So, what’s the trial?\" he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lone King looked up and shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is no trial. Once you passed the floors before this, you already proved you are worthy. However, there is something you must do to claim the inheritance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius and Rosalina waited in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a short pause, the boy continued, \"There is only one way to get the inheritance... and that is to refine me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a step forward and pointed at the shelves full of books and materials. \"All the necessary items are here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In a way it’s a trial, but at the same time it isn’t,\" he added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he ducked down, reached out, and pulled something into his small hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bright blue fire flickered to life above his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It glowed with vivid color and gave off heat stronger than normal flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius could feel the warmth brushing against his skin even from a distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Treasure refining fire...\" Julius muttered softly, staring at the dancing blue flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So the trial for this final floor is simply to refine me into a treasure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1328,"2026-06-10T05:56:22.118Z",1,"novelbin.me","662e506b9e7d76c494248017e1faab860695b6f0b01ed255ebf6ebe8389ae563","villainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-chapter-155","villainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-chapter-153",220,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fvillainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-cover.jpg"]
