When the smell of barbecue wafted in the air for quite some time, the remaining sleepyhead woke up.

"Good Morning! You guys still have your barbecues?!"

"Ehem. You're the only one who ate them continuously after you got them. You still haven't eaten any food besides barbecue, is that right?"

"I-I did! I-uhh.. ate the stew once!"

You did? Why can't I remember that?"

"I ate it while you're all cultivating!"

Seeing this, Red couldn't help but laugh inwardly. He knew that she loves to eat roasted meat the best, so much that she can eat a barbecue for an entire month straight.

"Sigh.. It can't be helped. Here."

Red summoned the remaining 5 barbecues that he reserved in his spacial bracelet.

"Ohh~! Thanks, I knew I could trust on you!"

She grabbed those and sat before roasting them in the bonfire. Meanwhile, Anna couldn't help but send a complicated gaze to them.

'He becomes quite different once Scarlet is involved.'

As for Maria, she still has those expressionless eyes; no one knows what she's thinking.

"Right, want to visit you father today?"

"We're going back?"

"It's not like we're going to live like an outcast. Plus, I want to see the state of Aquamarine right now."

"Let's meet him then!"

After eating their breakfast, they prepared to go out. They flew out of the mountain they're in, leaving them with an exquisite sight.

After that, Red asked the 'mountain' to shrink. As it shrank, it caused large quakes; even more so after it left the ground.

By the time it became palm-size in Red's hand, what's left is a huge empty plot of land. The surrounding dense Qi and Mana present were also disappearing. It's all thanks to the mountain that it had such density, but with it gone, the energy density at the site became normal.

"You're too lucky."

"Me? I think so.."

Red didn't deny Maria's comment; he just accepted it. After all, how would he regress if he isn't lucky?

"We've found that Immortal Cultivator's remnants when we're all about to camp. Practically speaking, it would only happen in 1 to 1,000,000,000,000 chances."

"You used your trait to compute all that?"

"Yes, but it's only almost accurate. We can't predict anything willfully after all. Even the prophecies only shows us the event with the highest rate of happening. Once we know of it, the rate becomes even smaller."

To be honest, it was really Red's luck that caused them to stumble upon it. When they found that, there's not even any trials. It's as if it was left there for them to pick up for free.

"Well, it's out of my plans, but I'm happy that it did happen."

Because thanks to that, they were able to reach their ranks 1-2 year in advance. Since he planned that they'll only tackle those Low-Rank Deity Realm Ruins at SS+ Rank, he thought that they'll take more time to reach that.

As for how they can rank up like a cheat, it's all thanks to him. They farmed those remnants like crazy to the point that they'll be able to reach EX+ Rank under 100 years with that just alone. If they absorb those Origin Cores...

It might not take them more than 10 years to do so.

"Craw!"

An SS Rank giant eagle suddenly flew at their direction. Since Red retracted his aura skillfully, it didn't know that there's an SSS- Rank besides them, thus it regarded the three as prey.

"I'll solve it."

"Okay! I'll wait here if it goes melee."

After 2 years of going through this forbidden land, they learned many things. Teamwork is only one of them. Because Anna has the highest long-ranged damage output, the responsibility of dealing with hostiles far away from them falls on her.

"1. 2.."

As she spoke, she completed the stages of <<Spellcasting>>. Unlike when using Heaven's Force, a traditional mage needs to go through 3 stages before a spell can be cast, namely: Calculation, Manifestation, and Manipulation.

In Calculation, one creates a spell model inside their Mental Realm. After the spell is created, one could finally manifest it in the outside world, thus Manifestation. Lastly, one would manipulate the elements of the world through it.

With Nature's Force, one would skip right to the Manifestation stage, just like the races loved by the world such as Elves and Dragons. Meanwhile, one would be able to directly manipulate the elements with the help of Heaven's Force; it's as if they became the world itself.

This shows the gap between the non-fusion systems and the fusion system built by the zerg world.

As someone taught by Red, she possesses the fusion-system techniques, allowing her to have Heaven's Force. This gave her a big advantage in contrast to this world's mages.

"<<Flame Spear>>."

A 5m long flame spear appeared from the spell circle. It then took aim at the incoming giant eagle.

"Craw!"

Soundwaves appeared in order to block it, but it couldn't do anything. As the soundwave barrier got pierced through, the giant eagle's head turned into ashes. Naturally, its body fell from the sky.

"Woah!"

Scarlet flew to catch it. She heaved a sigh of relief only when she placed it into her spacial ring.

"Phew. I said that I wouldn't let it happen again!"

"Sorry. I'll cast a wind-type spell next time to catch it."

"Thanks then!"

After Scarlet regrouped with them, they started to fly in the direction outside this forbidden land.

***

"Emperor, we can now return to that place again. The world's suppression weakened enough to the point that our people at Law Realm can enter."

"Mn."

The current Dragon Emperor thought as he tapped the handle of his chair. After some time, he looked at the current head of the Frost Dragon clan.

'That matter was left to them back then, so it should be fine to hand it over to them this time.'

"Handle it well."

"Yes, your majesty!"

They talked about more matter before the meeting ended. The Clan Head couldn't help but rejoice at the current circumstances.

'A half-blood that surpasses a pureblood in terms of purity, and the matter about the planet that the Space-Time Lord left. I should make some adjustments to my plans.'

He left the Dragon Court in a very good mood.
