The Ganges Secret Realm had been discovered back when Leilin was still a First-rank Wizard, and it had stood until now without any specific ownership being assigned to it, which Leilin found rather surprising.
Looking at the towering metal gate that pierced the clouds, along with its intricate patterns, Leilin couldn't help but recall the scenes from his promotion back then.
Back then, he had used the intelligence core of the metal gate, along with a large number of Wizard souls as fuel, to drive the process and enable the Eyes of Kemoyin to advance directly to the second level.
The past was vivid in his mind, but his old acquaintances were nowhere to be found, which gave Leilin a touch of melancholy.
"Understood, my lord! Please wait a moment!" The guard captain immediately placed his hand on the giant gate, and the metal door began to rumble, emitting a dazzling light.
"Hm?" Leilin looked at the guard captain and made a slight sound of surprise.
"Lord Leilin noticed it too?" the Dark Night Sovereign said with a smile from the side.
"Mm." Leilin nodded. "This Wizard should be the reincarnated spiritual intelligence core of the original gate, correct?"
Hearing this, the guard Wizard captain's body suddenly trembled.
"That's right! We spent a great deal of effort back then to successfully subdue the gate's core spiritual entity, and then nurtured it to the point where it could be reincarnated. After that, finding a suitable physical body for it required even more effort..."
Dark Flame said with a smile from the side.
"But having it around has made controlling the secret realm gate much easier. Now it's an honorary professor of our Dark Night Lighthouse — Jinsi!"
"Jinsi? Nice name!" Leilin studied the other party until they began to feel a chill down their spine, then chuckled softly and sent a speck of light flying into Jinsi's forehead.
The other party futilely released a layer of metallic defense over their body, but it had no effect, and they could only watch helplessly as the light merged in.
"Lord Leilin, this is..." Dark Flame's face showed urgency, but he didn't move to stop him.
First, he knew Leilin's strength and wouldn't humiliate himself by trying. Second, through their recent time together, he had learned that Leilin wasn't the type of Wizard who killed casually, and had a good temperament — doing this must have had some special purpose.
"Consider this a little gift from me, kid..."
Leilin chuckled and stepped through the giant gate, with Niss following closely behind.
"Watch yourselves!" Dark Flame was completely bewildered but still followed them inside, leaving only the stunned Jinsi standing there.
After the light invaded, there was no pain or anything of the sort as expected. Instead, it transformed into a stream of information that fell into Jinsi's sea of consciousness, causing him to freeze on the spot.
Numerous letters formed an opening line: "Advanced Meditation Method: Dark Gold World — Compatible with Metal Aptitude!"
The massive text plunged Jinsi into a daze instantly.
"My lord?" After following Leilin into the Ganges Secret Realm, Dark Flame could no longer hold back and asked.
"Don't worry, I just gave them a small benefit," Leilin smiled. He had owed something to the metal gate's intelligence entity of the Ganges Secret Realm when he advanced to the Second-rank previously. Now that he had encountered its kindred, it was only natural to offer some compensation.
All of this came from his true heart, without any particular compulsion. If he hadn't seen them today, he probably wouldn't have even remembered this matter.
"The Central Continent, the South Coast, the Dark Extreme Domain, and the Keli Archipelago..."
Leilin's eyes flickered constantly. "Once all these connections, or rather threads of fate, have been resolved by me, that will be the moment I completely let go of everything and break through the shackles of bloodline!"
Although he didn't know why he needed to do this, a premonition deep in his soul told Leilin that carrying out these tasks would only bring him benefits, with no drawbacks.
"Whew..." After hearing Leilin's explanation, although Dark Flame was still somewhat curious about why Leilin had taken such a liking to Jinsi, he finally let out a long breath of relief.
Three blinding streaks of light tore through the sky and raced through the Ganges Secret Realm.
Leilin's eyes flickered with light continuously.
Ever since he had fully demonstrated his Morning Star strength and subjugated both the Black and White Wizards, he had become the uncrowned king of the South Coast. Whatever he wanted to do, both Black and White Wizards would scramble to complete it for him.
One word of command, and whether Black or White Wizards, they would all work desperately for him.
This almost inconceivable state of affairs, brought about through Leilin's powerful methods, had actually come to pass, leaving many uninformed common folk marveling at how unbelievable it was. Some busybodies even went so far as to issue declarations proclaiming that the South Coast would enter an era of complete peace — but in reality, they were all thinking too highly of things.
With the collective efforts of everyone, whether Leilin wanted to find someone or understand some grudge, the progress was extremely rapid.
Krupp and Dalenlai were married under Leilin's arrangement, and would return to the Keli Archipelago to rebuild an empire at the original site of the Farell Family.
After all of this was resolved, Leilin had originally intended to leave without looking back, but both the Black and White Wizards had simultaneously made a request of him.
