Chapter 430 Re-entering the Realm of Reason
He Yun's request was not a problem for Olivia.

Opening a Holy Land once is fine as long as the number of participants does not exceed three. The only difference is how long it takes for the Holy Land to recover after the upgrade.

Moreover, Wu Chang is the leader of the Mystic Knights and has made great contributions, so allowing him to enter the Holy Land is already in line with the requirements.

The question is, why would He Yun make this request, and what exactly is the relationship between her and Wu Chang?
After all, the Eternal Light Cult is the state religion of Stellan, and it was Wu Chang's wife, Eileen, who brought the Eternal Light Cult to Stellan.

In the streets and alleys of Grimland, Erin was already known as a walking saint, and her popularity among the people was even higher than Olivia's.

Judging from the current situation, the woman named He Yun is someone who made mechs for Wu Chang and obtained a spot to enter the Holy Land. She also wanted to bring Wu Chang along. Could there be something between them?

Does Eileen know about this?
If she leaves He Yun in Grimland for an extended period, and things are exposed, won't the First Knight of Stellan, the Saint of Stellan, and the future First Scholar of Stellan start fighting in Grimland?

Thinking about this gave Olivia a headache, but she had no right to ask for details.

After a brief hesitation, he agreed to He Yun's request.

"No problem, but we need to prepare for a week before entering the holy land, so we can't enter immediately."

He Yun nodded without saying anything, returning the topic to Wu Chang.

Wu Chang exchanged a glance with Julie, then turned to Olivia and said:

“Your Majesty, besides seeing He Yunlai off, I have also been asked to take Julie away. You should already know about this.”

Olivia looked at Julie, her eyes filled with reluctance, but as Wu Chang had said, Julie had already been told that she would be called by the true god and leave this world.

Despite having made preparations, she still couldn't calm down when the time for parting actually came.

She hesitated for a long time, but in the end, she couldn't bring herself to ask, "Can you not leave?"

This would put Julie in a difficult position.

She could only sigh and say to Wu Chang:

“Sir Sean, being able to connect with the true god of the Holy Revelation Church, I know your strength is greater than it appears. Take good care of Julie on the journey, and make sure she doesn’t encounter any danger.”

Wu Chang smiled and said, "Even if Your Majesty hadn't said anything, as a friend, I would have escorted Julie to her safe arrival."

Olivia nodded and said, "Julie said you're short on time, so let's get going as soon as possible. Is there anything I can do for you?"

Wu Chang shook his head and said, "No need, we just need to go to Yongguang Cathedral."

Olivier immediately arranged for a carriage to take the four of them straight to the Grey Church slum.

Thanks to Eileen and Reventon's renovations, the Greychapel slum, though still low-rise, is no longer dirty and chaotic, and is cleaner and tidier than many working-class neighborhoods.

With the implementation of the new Factory Law, workers' treatment has improved significantly, and their working hours and working conditions have also improved.

Distance is still a long way from ensuring that everyone can live a decent life, but the situation where siblings like Grey and Thomas struggle to get enough to eat no longer exists.

Not only does the Stellan government provide assistance to these orphans, but the Eternal Light Church and the original Holy Revelation Church also provide them with food to ensure their nutritional intake during their growth period.

When the group arrived at Yongguang Cathedral, they happened to run into the siblings who were there to pray.

Grey has recovered her health without any aftereffects, while Thomas has developed and is no longer as thin as a seven or eight-year-old child. He is at least nine years old, and flesh has begun to hang from his skin and bones, making him look like a boy.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with the two, Wu Chang and his group entered the inner hall of the Yongguang Church. Since the Yongguang Cathedral was established here, the Pillar of God, which was located in front of Thomas's house, has been moved here.

The Steam Phantom instance was originally a pillar of Wu Chang's present world. Following his command, a golden teleportation array appeared in the center of the room.

He said, "Julie, we're leaving now. We don't know when we'll be back. Is there anything you want to say?"

Julie, who had been silent all along, came up to Olivia, gently hugged her, and said:

"Your Majesty need not worry, the True God has been very kind to me, I will be fine."

"Also, take good care of yourself. I've always believed you will become a great king."

After Julie finished speaking, she turned and entered the teleportation array.

Wu Chang shrugged and said, "Your Majesty, we'll be leaving now."

"Wait a minute." Olivia called out to Wu Chang, asking cautiously:
"Sir Sean, if I become powerful enough in the future, will I be able to go to Julie's world, even if it's just to take a look?"

Wu Chang nodded and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, with your qualifications, as long as you wish, you and Julie will be able to meet again soon. I can guarantee that."

Putting aside the fact that Olivia possesses the power of the source and is the chosen one of the planes, the Light Steam Phantom plane is Eileen's divine kingdom. Once he ascends to the Realm of Reason, Olivia will be able to travel to his divine kingdom plane in the Realm of Reason through the Pillar of the Divine Kingdom.

Upon receiving Wu Chang's affirmative reply, Olivia's serious expression eased, and she said, "I believe you."

Wu Chang left Victoria's side, went to He Yun's side, and whispered in her ear:

"Did you see that idiot peeking in through the door, with half his head sticking out?"

"Hmm." He Yun glanced outside. Ever since they left St. George's Cathedral, she had noticed Reventon, who was following them suspiciously.

Wu Chang said, "Teaching one is the same as teaching two. If you're not busy, teach that guy a set of what Olivia is going to learn as well."

"We're friends after all, this is all I can do to help him."

Raventon was such a coward that even when Julie left, he only dared to watch from afar and didn't dare to show up himself.

If this fool really goes to the New World to improve his strength, he probably won't see Julie a second time in his life.

He Yun narrowed her eyes, staring at Wu Chang's face, and said:
"But judging from your expression right now, it's not simply that you want to help him."

Wu Chang touched his cheek, pressing down the corners of his mouth that he couldn't help but turn up.

"Really? You must be imagining things."

How could he have impure motives? He simply wanted to cheer for Reventon and also just enjoyed watching the drama unfold.

After instructing He Yun to take care of Raventon, he greeted Olivia, whose expression was somewhat strange and who seemed to have discovered some huge secret, and then turned and entered the teleportation array.

He looked at Julie and asked curiously, "Julie, you are calmer than I expected. You don't seem to have much attachment to this place."

When Julie was alone with Wu Chang, her expression was not as calm as before.

She looked out through the spatial array and said softly:
"When the true God descended and revealed himself to me, he said that in the world I was about to arrive in, power is everything. As long as I am powerful enough, I can do anything I want."

“I don’t want to be like before, helpless and watching from the sidelines when a crisis comes next time. So I don’t have time to be sad; I must keep moving forward.”

Wu Chang said, "Even though you say that, you can still come to me if you encounter any trouble in the future. Your true god will pay you a reward, so there's no need to feel embarrassed."

"If there's nothing else, let's get going."

Julie took a deep breath and nodded, saying, "Let's go."

Accompanied by the light of the teleportation array, Wu Chang was suddenly transported to the Realm of Reason with Julie.

Similar to the underground shelter, the other side of the Steam Phantom Dimension is also located in the wilderness of the Realm of Reason, some distance from the controlled area.

Julie truly lived up to her reputation for possessing the power of spatial origins. While others would vomit uncontrollably after their first time using the teleportation array, Julie remained completely composed, as if she had simply passed through a door.

Unlike Wu Chang, Julie, although not a player, met the requirements for advancement and was guided to the Realm of Reason by Christine.

As soon as Julie gained a foothold in the Realm of Reason, her surface began to shimmer with the light of the power of the Root of Space. Under the shaping influence of this inexplicable ability, a large amount of the Root of Space power was drawn to her. The surge of the Root of Space power into her body caused Julie's strength to increase by leaps and bounds. At the same time, the power, exceeding her absorption limit, condensed into a thin, transparent barrier on the surface of her body.

Wu had seen this barrier before; it was a barrier formed in the Dimension of Reason after Wu had truly ascended to the Dimension of Reason and gained its recognition.

Once this barrier is obtained, it signifies that one's existence has become qualitatively different from that of ordinary beings in the desolate realm.

The reason is simple: when facing attacks from beings of the desolate realm, this barrier can negate 100 points of all attribute bonuses from the opponent's attack.

Regardless of the type of attribute amplification, all attacks will have 100 attribute points deducted when passing through this barrier. If a skill has dual or even triple attribute bonuses, this bonus is an advantage in the Desolate Realm, but in cross-dimensional battles, this skill will be weakened by double or even triple.

Unless you're a special case like Wu Chang, who doesn't care about a mere one or two hundred attribute points, for ordinary players, losing a hundred attribute points in battle is nothing short of a catastrophe.

For this reason, the four major organizations set a boundary when defining positions.

For example, in the Administration Bureau, no matter how high their achievements are in the Wilderness Realm, even Hou Jingchuan and Leng Shan, as long as they do not enter the Realm of Reason, their positions will be stuck at Level 1 Investigator, and no exceptions can be made.

Even for them, defeating the weakest players in the Realm of Reason is extremely difficult; they can only try to compensate for the numerical gap by using mechanics.

The ascension ceremony lasted about three minutes. As the barrier of the rational world around Julie's body was fully formed, her existence became one with the rational world, no longer like Wu Chang, who was out of place with his surroundings.

Julie truly lived up to her reputation as Christine's chosen saintess. Her ascension ceremony directly elevated her spatial source power to the Lord level, making her even stronger than Wu Chang.

This improvement was extremely rapid. Julie was immersed in the mysterious feeling of the power of the source, her eyes shimmering with a silvery mist, and her expression became unusually cold.

It was as if she had evolved, and had begun to be high above others, like a superior life form.

This change in mindset mainly stems from the sense of identification that comes from being accepted by the rational world and being influenced by it; it cannot be blamed on Julie.

Before Wu Chang could remind Julie of her changes, a beam of light came along with the energy fluctuations of the ascension ceremony.

Since Julie came to the Realm of Reason with Wu Chang's Pillar of Reality, they appeared in the Crimson Garden of the Realm of Reason. Following the energy, an Abyss Game player arrived.

The other person was wearing a full set of plate armor, which was exquisitely crafted and covered with gold thread decorations. He had a round hand shield hanging on his left arm and a knight's sword decorated with gems hanging at his waist. He practically had the words "luxury" and "wealth" written all over his face.

But what caught Wu Chang's attention even more was that in the center of the rich knight's shield was a spiral mark, which was composed of two intertwined arcs that were wider at the bottom and narrower at the top.

Wu had seen this symbol before. The two arcs, one representing the world and the other the human soul, together form a spiral, signifying the soul's full perception of the world and its integration with it. This is precisely the symbol of the Blissful Sect.

The wealthy knight landed within twenty meters of the two. As soon as he touched down, he drew his jeweled longsword, pointed it at them, and said rudely:
“You two, no, that woman, are you an Ascendant from the Desolate Realm? There are requirements from above that all newly ascended individuals must undergo interrogation. You'll have to come with me.”

Wu Chang frowned. What an overbearing declaration! All the newly promoted individuals have to go with him.

Why is it that after a period of absence, members of the three major evil god sects dare to appear so blatantly in the Realm of Reason?

Sensing Wu Chang's displeasure, the wealthy knight shifted his gaze from Julie to Wu Chang, asking in confusion:
"As for you, you have no barrier of reason yet you appear here. What are you? I'll give you one minute to explain. If you can't, you die."

The appearance of the wealthy knight made Julie, who had just completed her ascension, nervous. She sensed the same aura of reason emanating from him as she did, as well as an immense pressure that she could hardly withstand.

She instantly realized that her opponent was not someone she could defeat.

Wu Chang sent her to the Upper Realm; now it was her turn to protect Wu Chang.

Julie whispered to Wu Chang, "The opponent is very strong. I am no match for him. Come closer to me, and I will find a chance to help you escape."

Julie's little actions naturally did not escape the notice of the wealthy knight, who said coldly, "What are you whispering about? You have thirty seconds left, you guy from the Desolate Realm."

Wu Chang clicked his tongue. Judging from their auras, the rich knight and Xu Dejun were similarly strong, or even slightly weaker. How could he possibly save face being threatened by such a nobody?

He stepped forward, stood in front of Julie, and said, "I am Peace."

The wealthy knight's lips twitched slightly. "I asked you to state your background and which faction you belong to. Who cares what your name is..."

"Wait, peace?"

The three pieces of information—the Wilderness Player, the Appearance in the Realm of Reason, and Peace—collided together, suddenly reminded the Rich Knight of something.

His expression changed drastically. He raised his shield in his left hand and turned to flee.

But as soon as he took a step, he stepped into a pool of water. His barrier of reason couldn't even withstand it for a moment, and he sank into it and disappeared.

Wu Chang calmly withdrew the Blind Abyss and said to Julie:
"Don't be nervous. Her Majesty Christine sent me along precisely to prevent this from happening."

Julie responded blankly, "Huh? Oh, thank you."

As she watched the wealthy knight disappear, her gaze instantly cleared, and the arrogance of a superior being vanished completely from her eyes.

What do you mean by entering the Realm of Reason is evolution? Where is the evolution? I can't see it at all.

She looked at Wu Chang cautiously. He hadn't been promoted yet, but he could defeat such a powerful opponent with a wave of his hand. Just how strong was he?

After the brief incident, Julie's initial elation at being promoted back to reality.

She took out the horn that Christine had given her. The horn floated in the air, spun twice in place, and then pointed eastward.

“Sean, the true God said the trumpet will guide us.”

Wu Chang used his talent of condensing emptiness into reality to condense a small flying vehicle that Xu Dejun had previously piloted, and took Julie to the east indicated by the horn.

Besides seeing people off, he also needed to meet with Xu Dejun and others on this trip. He didn't plan to make too much of a fuss, so he kept a low profile throughout the journey.

In the wilderness, he encountered more than one group of wealthy knights. If there were many of them, he would avoid them using his inspiration and spatial domain. If they were alone, he would simply stuff them into the Blind Abyss to keep the wealthy knights company.

It wasn't just the Blissful Cult that intercepted the newly ascended ones; he also saw the Tranquility Cult and many unmarked ordinary Reason players.

The horn pointed and stopped in front of a dilapidated ruin at the border between the wilderness and the controlled area.

If you were flying over from high above, you would never notice this ruin and would think it was just like any other building in the wilderness, a place swallowed up by the abyss.

But as the horn appeared above the ruins, a hidden portal of light emerged in front of them.

Wu Chang recalled that Xu Dejun had said that as long as the area under control was invaded, it could be transformed into the conqueror's private space.

However, such private spaces are not safe and may be attacked by other players. The current Apocalypse disguises these private spaces to avoid attacks from the four major organizations and other evil god cults.

A middle-aged man wearing a mask walked out of the portal and said to Wu Chang:
“Mr. Peace, it is an honor to meet you. His Majesty the True God has already given divine revelation, and this private space is always open to you.”

Wu Chang recognized the masked man; he was Yu Na's ex-boyfriend, the archbishop Yan Xin, who had once been in charge of the Xia Kingdom's apocalypse.

He nodded to Yan Xin, then said to Julie:

"I have other things to do, so I'll leave you here. If you encounter any danger, remember to contact me."

Watching Julie follow Yan Xin into the private space, Wu Chang activated the aircraft and headed to the coordinates that Xu Dejun had left for him.

In the current Crimson Courtyard of the Realm of Reason, the survival environment for the Order Faction is no better than that for the Evil God Cult. The place Wu Chang arrived at by following the coordinates is also a hidden private space, even more secluded than the Revelation stronghold he had just visited.

He sent a message to Xu Dejun, and after waiting a few minutes, Xu Dejun opened a tunnel and signaled Wu Chang to enter.

He walked down the tunnel, symbolically ascending a dozen or so steps, and after opening an iron gate at the end, he found himself in a beautifully decorated reception room.

Before Xu Dejun in the reception room could speak, he preemptively opened the Blind Abyss and threw out the three players who were soaking inside.

"We'll talk about the rest later. You should focus on saving them first. These guys are too fragile. If you're not careful, they'll have a mental breakdown and go crazy."
