"The battle has concluded. After this exercise, you should all understand your weaknesses," came Xia Yinyue's voice descending upon her planet.
"Take this time to reflect on the lessons learned, address your shortcomings, and prepare yourselves. Once you've adjusted, we'll head to your Father God's planet for an interdimensional exchange."
Upon hearing this, the Forest Dragon, who had been pondering ways to curry favor, immediately perked up.
She raised her head and asked toward the sky, "Mother God, the planet you speak of Father God's planet is it where those giant birds and octopi live?"
Xia Yinyue nodded. "Exactly."
"You will represent us, leading the angels and wind spirits to visit that planet as guests. Prepare well; it's your first time visiting another's domain, and we must not lose face."
The Forest Dragon was overjoyed at this announcement.
Visiting Father God's planet also meant an opportunity to interact with that commander-level Sacred Wood Elf. It was the perfect moment to secure her support!
"Understood, Mother God! We will prepare thoroughly and ensure we uphold your honor!"
The Forest Dragon's enthusiasm was palpable, and the angels and wind spirits couldn't help but feel a touch of excitement as well.
Father God's subordinates were so powerful what kind of world must their planet be?
Xia Yinyue said no more, withdrawing from her realm to give them time to prepare.
Meanwhile, the creatures under Bai Ze's domain had returned to his world through the interdimensional portal.
As they regrouped, Bai Ze issued a divine command, summoning them all.
"We bow before Father God!"
"We await your command, Father God!"
The five great clans gathered beneath Bai Ze's projection, awaiting his decree.
Once they were all assembled, Bai Ze spoke plainly:
"In the coming days, prepare yourselves within the homeworld. Creatures from another realm will soon visit us for exchange and discussion."
"Let Aurora serve as the envoy to receive our guests," Bai Ze instructed.
The gathered creatures exchanged glances. Interdimensional exchange?
One of them, a Kunpeng, asked, "Father God, may we ask does this other realm belong to Mother God?"
Bai Ze nodded lightly. "Yes, it is Mother God's realm. We have already visited her world, and it's only proper to reciprocate by hosting her creatures for an exchange."
Hearing this, the creatures nodded in understanding.
"Rest assured, Father God. We will prepare thoroughly to welcome our guests."
Satisfied with their response, Bai Ze withdrew his projection. To him, the interdimensional exchange was a minor event not something worth excessive attention.
Back in the divine realm, Bai Ze opened his eyes to find Xia Yinyue staring at him with a sly smile.
"Little Bai, everything's settled now, right?" she asked, her tone laced with teasing.
"If so, why don't you tell me a little about your epic battle with the liches and how you managed to stay so humble afterward?" she added, her grin widening.
Bai Ze glanced out the window; the sky was still dark after the night's battle, and it was only 5 a.m.
"Fine, let's go to your bed. I'll tell you while you listen, and you can sleep if you get tired."
Hearing this, Xia Yinyue blushed slightly and eyed him warily.
Still, she didn't refuse. After all, the two of them had grown up together and even shared a bed until they were about ten. It didn't feel strange now.
"Alright, come on in," she said, her tone playful. "I'll warm the bed while you tell me all about the liches."
Without hesitation, Xia Yinyue removed her outer garments, leaving only her underclothes, and slipped under the covers.
Bai Ze followed suit, settling into the bed beside her.
Outside, the wind rattled against the window, creating a crisp clattering sound, but inside, the atmosphere was warm and cozy.
As the hours passed, Bai Ze recounted his battle with the liches in detail. Of course, he left out certain specifics such as his ability to block signals, one of his unique powers. He saw no need to disclose it, fearing it might attract unnecessary attention.
Once the story was finished, the two of them fell asleep, leaning against each other.
It wasn't until 8 a.m. that they woke up, got dressed, and prepared to head to class.
On their way to the lecture hall, Xia Yinyue brought up a question.
"By the way, Little Bai, when are you planning to let everyone know the truth?"
"You can't let them keep misunderstanding things, comparing you to yourself," she said, covering her mouth as she giggled at the absurdity.
Bai Ze, however, shrugged nonchalantly.
"Let them believe what they want. Staying low-key isn't a bad thing it avoids trouble."
Xia Yinyue nodded in understanding, her admiration for Bai Ze growing even stronger.
Not only had he defeated an entire lich race single-handedly, but he had also earned the loyalty of a commander-level Sacred Wood Elf.
Her strength and noble bloodline were undeniable, and even Xia Yinyue's strongest Forest Dragon had to bow before her.
Just recalling how the once-proud dragon had been cowed into submission as if it were a kitten being petted, made Xia Yinyue feel a mix of amusement and awe.
As they neared the lecture hall, snippets of conversation reached their ears:
"Did you hear? The rumors about the mysterious student have even spread to the divine families in the imperial capital!"
"Seriously? Is that true?"
"I've heard about it. Some of the divine heirs have vowed to challenge this mysterious student."
Hearing this, Bai Ze frowned slightly.
He was well aware of what it meant to be a divine heir the child of a deity. These individuals were in a class far above the wealthy and influential mortals.
After all, a mortal family might have wealth, but a divine family undoubtedly had both divine power and resources in abundance.
"Little Bai..." Xia Yinyue looked at him with some concern.
But Bai Ze merely shook his head and said indifferently, "Don't worry. If the divine heirs are looking for the mysterious student, what does that have to do with me?"
