Apotheosis

Dorothy was slightly startled, and put a stop to all distracting thoughts.

Then, just as she had calmed down, her Truth Boat abruptly tilted to one side.

A Truth Boat tilting on the Sea of Truth was one of the most terrifying things to witness. If one failed to cast the Illusion Breaking Rune in time, they would fall overboard into the sea and die.

As Dorothy's Truth Boat leaned sideways, however, the hull of her boat bumped into Zen's boat's stern. Shoving her boat with it, he forced it into its original position.

"Thank you," Dorothy said sheepishly.

"The second line is coming soon. Stay focused," Zen reminded her.

Dorothy smiled and returned to focusing on steering the Truth Boat.

Making it to the first line was difficult, and making it to the second was even more testing.

Having broken through the first line, Zen was experienced now. The power of his Soul of Light also far exceeded that of any consummate True God. In theory, breaking through the second line shouldn't be too challenging for him.

Dorothy's condition was similar to Zen's, even though her Soul of Light was weaker than his. However, she had the advantage of the Necklace of Mystic Soul, which would more than make up for this handicap.

If she were to fully activate the Necklace of Mystic Soul, even Zen's power would pale in comparison to hers.

The first three lines were easy for a personal disciple of a large clan like Dorothy.

In order to speed up their progress through the second line, Zen used two soul pills, whereas Dorothy used five.

Having passed through the second line, Zen still felt like he hadn't been fast enough. Considering their time limit, it would be ideal if he could cross the third line in a single breath.

The moment Zen was about to act, No. 9527 spoke up. "Zen, someone is very close to your cultivation room."

Zen had set up an enchanted barrier in his cultivation room to prevent others from spying on him. In addition, No. 9527 would also help him monitor his surroundings. It would not bother him if someone was just passing by his room.

Zen frowned and told Dorothy that he needed to leave the Sea of Truth now.

Dorothy noticed the change in Zen's expression. Just as she was about to ask him what trouble he had encountered,

st of the disciples could not get the correct answer. Very few of them figured it out, but they stayed silent and kept it to themselves.

They knew the owner of the palace opposite them was the Oneness Sky Palace's leader's equal.

After they had entered the palace, Felicity took Dorothy by the hand and led her straight to the backyard, where a woman in a white robe sat in a small pavilion.

The woman was, perhaps, even more beautiful than Felicity. But her brows were deeply furrowed, and her face was etched with sadness.

Whoosh!

A beam of light flashed through the backyard and landed outside the pavilion.

"Daisy," said Felicity to the woman in white.

"Aunt Daisy," Dorothy called out.

Daisy looked back at the two, her beautiful face deadpan. "Oh, hello there. Felicity and Dora, what brings you here?" she asked, her tone flat.

Evaristus was her son, and after the accident, she had lost all interest in life. Seeing him listless and drunk broke her heart into pieces. However, she still didn't want Evaristus to undergo reincarnation.

Felicity walked into the pavilion and asked quietly, "Daisy, are you still worried about Evaristus?"

"So what if I am," Daisy replied harshly, making Felicity recoil. "It seems that your brother-in-law can't find a way to rescue him."

"Dora fell into a whirlpool, too," said Felicity.

Daisy's body stiffened in response, and she stared at Dorothy, wide-eyed.

"But someone helped Dora break the whirlpool!" Felicity continued, triumphant.
