After being reminded by Wang Yanran, Lin Tianming also noticed that the Phoenix Flame they had just absorbed was regenerating at an extremely slow pace.

Wang Yanran finished speaking and then affectionately linked arms with Lin Tianming as they left the Flame Secret Realm together.

After exiting, Wang Yanran, who had ascended to a more perfect level of the Phoenix Flame, immediately dispersed the flames at the entrance.

This way, her desire to turn the Flame Secret Realm into an exclusive training ground for the Wang Family could be realized.

Outside the Flame Secret Realm, the Wang Family Patriarch and other Wang Family members who had been waiting outside for seven days immediately came to greet them as they emerged.

When they sensed Wang Yanran's breakthrough to Level 85, they were overjoyed.

However, when they saw that Lin Tianming had also reached Level 70, they were all stunned.

"Not bad, Tianming, not being a Fire attribute superpower awakener, but still managing such an advancement in level upon entering the Flame Secret Realm, good... good, you are a promising seedling, Jiang Han really took on a good student!"

As the Wang Family Patriarch was the first to express his admiration for Lin Tianming, the rest of the Wang Family members also deeply agreed and echoed his praises.

"Mr. Lin is truly the number one talent, only a genius like him can ignore the attribute of the realm and achieve such great advancement!"

"Yes, with Mr. Lin's talent, it is normal for him to have such advancements! Our Miss really chose the right person!"

"Mr. Lin has reached Level 70 after just over a year of cultivation, this talent... truly unprecedented!"

They not only praised him but also called him 'Groom' throughout, which made Lin Tianming quite embarrassed.

Does this mean he's now automatically considered the son-in-law of the Imperial City Wang Family?

Wasn't the Wang Family, one of the four major Awakener families in the Imperial City, supposed to be haughty?

He would rather have them act like the family clans in traditional online novels, looking down on people through their nostrils, picking on him one after another...

This role of Wang Family son-in-law... Not easy at all!

What if Qingxue finds out...

Hiss!

Lin Tianming was a bit scared to think further...

Afterwards, Lin Tianming exchanged a few pleasantries with the Wang Family Patriarch at the entrance of the secret realm, then quickly found an excuse to leave.

...

In the blink of an eye, another month passed.

During this month, Lin Tianming, who had no major opportunities, only advanced to Level 71.

This level was already a height that the vast majority of Awakeners globally could not achieve in their entire lives.

But Lin Tianming knew that this level was certainly not enough for someone who wished to become a God.

"Qingxue, Lianghua, Feng Lan... none of them have come back yet..."

"Senior Sister Yanran disappeared a while ago too, probably went to seek an opportunity, take me with you next time!"

Walking alone in the Great Emperor Academy of the Imperial City, Lin Tianming murmured to himself.

As he walked distractedly, he bumped into someone.

"Sorry, I..."

Just as Lin Tianming was about to apologize, Feng Lan's emotionless voice rang out in front of him.

"No need to apologize, but... be more careful lately, stay alert!"

Having not seen Feng Lan for a long time, Lin Tianming was quite happy to see her again.

He looked up, and indeed it was her.

And her aura... had reached Level 70 as well!

Although still a level lower than his, Lin Tianming still felt quite shaken.

Was she going to catch up to him so carelessly?

It's true that Feng Lan is a Reincarnator.

But it's not like she is a wholesaler of opportunities, to gain such a huge improvement just by going out once?

Before Lin Tianming could recover, Ye Qingxue's voice also suddenly rang out from behind him.

"Surprisingly, I agree with you this time, Feng Lan, let's temporarily cease our conflicts!

And Brother Tianming, you really need to be careful lately, I have a really bad premonition!"

Lin Tianming turned around to see Ye Qingxue had also reached Level 70.

Taking a deep breath to slightly calm himself, Lin Tianming temporarily refrained from thinking about how fast they were gaining levels.

It's been a long time since everyone had seen each other, how nice it would be to have a reunion meal together!

However, just when Lin Tianming was about to invite them to eat, they all seemed colder than ever, each disappearing into different directions.

That's right!

They didn't just walk away, they used special techniques to hide their presence and flee!

Fortunately, Lin Tianming could lock onto their positions with the power of Spiritual Power Ascension.

They were both wandering around nearby, seemingly on alert for something.

Eavesdropping on their thoughts revealed nothing specific, mystifying as ever.

Left with no choice, Lin Tianming went to eat alone in the cafeteria.

On the way, Lin Tianming had his Spiritual Power Ascension fully activated.

Then, he discovered an old acquaintance hiding under a tree.

The Guardian Beast Goddess Reincarnator, Meng Xiyue!

She, like Ye Qingxue, was shrouded in mystery.

Using the power of a Wood Attribute Divine Beast, she hid her aura so well it seemed she had fused with the tree.

Lin Tianming felt a bit dizzy.

What's with everyone acting so strange after their return?

Could they have been brainwashed by the Deceit God?

Next, Lin Tianming encountered other Goddess Reincarnators.

Alice was sitting far away inside the cafeteria, using a Mechanical Doll to hide her presence, also on alert for something.

Alice is here, could Sofia and Lilith be here as well?

As Lin Tianming expected, in the small forest on his way back to the male dormitory.

He sensed the figure of Lilith hidden in the dark shadows.

At a pavilion, Lianghua pretended to be playing with Xingzi, but was actually on high alert throughout.

On the roof of the male dormitory building, there was the presence of Sofia.

One by one, they all secretly came to the Great Emperor Academy without notifying him... playing hide and seek with him!

At the North Gate and South Gate of Great Emperor Academy, which Lin Tianming did not visit, Teacher Tianshui and Senior Sister Yanran were wandering nearby.

Only Teacher Jiang Han, the first Goddess Reincarnator to be killed by the original host in her previous life, was quietly staying at her home, waiting to give Lin Tianming special training tomorrow.

In the dead of night, although Lin Tianming didn't know why Ye Qingxue and the others were acting so nervously after returning today, he still slept soundly.

Perhaps because the Goddess Reincarnators were in the Imperial City, he had a good dream where they were all with him.

In the dream, he felt like someone was missing, but he didn't think too much about it.

However, during the dream, all the Goddess Reincarnators were swallowed by a black sea formed by thousands of Gu Worms under his horrified gaze.

And he himself was covered by countless Gu Worms, submerged in the black sea of Gu Worms.

He tried to use his superpower to escape, but in the dream, he couldn't activate any skills.

He could only watch helplessly as he was devoured by the black sea of Gu Worms.

Awoken from the nightmare, Lin Tianming gasped for air, his body drenched in cold sweat.

He found himself on his bed in the male dormitory.

Seeing Chu Yunfei sound asleep on another dormitory bed, he breathed a sigh of relief, somewhat glad it was just a dream.

He checked his phone for the time.

It might be a coincidence, but the time was exactly 4:44 AM.

If his phone's screen displayed seconds, it would definitely show 44 seconds as well.

Just then, he received a message from an unknown source.

"Husband... Why didn't you come to find me? Why!"

Under the dark and oppressive atmosphere.

Seeing the brief text on the lock screen, Lin Tianming was so startled that his phone slipped directly onto the bed.

It was... her!
