Liuyun City.

The Bartley family castle.

restaurant.

"Master...Master..."

"I sense it, Master is back!"

"..."

That dragon's roar was like a thunderclap from a clear sky.

The air seemed to freeze.

Doug Bartley stood frozen in place.

This imperial duke, who had once been decisive and ruthless on the battlefield, was now trembling uncontrollably even in his fingers.

Jenny covered her mouth, her eyes instantly reddening.

Avril whirled around and stared intently at the tightly closed, ornate door of the restaurant.

really?

Has the man who disappeared for two hundred years, venturing alone into the highest plane, really returned?

Without warning, a ripple spread through the space.

There were no violent fluctuations of magical elements, nor any earth-shattering light and shadow effects.

It's like a drop of water merging into the ocean, or like a breeze sweeping across a mountain.

A black figure appeared out of nowhere, defying all logic, next to the head of the long dining table.

Her hair was as black as ink, falling freely over her shoulders.

His face is still as young and handsome as it was two hundred years ago.

However, the originally sharp outline has become much softer now.

This person was none other than Raven.

Raven's gaze swept over everyone at the table.

A father with slightly graying temples, a mother with fine lines around her eyes, and a younger sister who used to follow him around begging for candy.

Two hundred years.

For eternal life, it may just be a fleeting moment.

But for those who miss their loved ones, every second is torture.

"Father! Mother!"

Raven's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly penetrated everyone's ears.

"And Avril Lavigne, and Little White."

"I'm back."

These few simple words were like a heavy hammer, instantly shattering the last line of defense in everyone's hearts.

"elder brother!"

Avril no longer cared about noble etiquette or the reserve of a Saint-level expert.

Like a wronged little girl, she transformed into a streak of blue light and crashed hard into Raven's arms.

"Waaaaah..."

"Why are you only just getting back!"

"Do you know how worried we were about you!"

"Damn Raven! You stinky brother!"

Fists rained down on Raven's chest.

Of course, it did not come with any fighting spirit or magical power.

Raven let his sister vent her emotions, and reached out to ruffle her soft blonde hair.

"alright."

"You're such a grown-up, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by newbies?"

"Awoo!"

Little White has already reverted to its miniature form.

The cute little lizard nuzzled affectionately against Raven's trouser leg.

"Master, I've missed you so much!"

"The barbecue here is terrible, I want your grilled monster meat!"

Jenny rushed over at that moment.

She pushed Avril aside and carefully examined her son from head to toe, left to right.

Her hand trembled as she touched Raven's cheek. Feeling the warmth from her fingertips, tears finally streamed down her face.

"I haven't lost weight, thank goodness I haven't..."

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

Doug stood a few steps away, his fists clenching and unclenching repeatedly.

As a man and a father, he was used to being reserved.

But his bloodshot eyes betrayed him.

Raven looked up at his father, a bright smile spreading across his face.

Doug couldn't hold back any longer.

He strode forward and punched Raven hard in the chest.

All the words in the world ultimately converge in this one punch.

"You brat!"

……

After half an hour.

The mess inside the restaurant had been cleaned up by the servants, and steaming hot dishes had been served again.

The atmosphere was so lively, it felt like a festival.

Raven sat next to the head of the table.

Xiao Bai was hunched over the plate in front of him, devouring a top-quality marbled steak.

"Is hell... really as terrifying as the legends say?"

Avril rested her chin on her hand, her deep blue eyes filled with curiosity.

Although there are records about the Supreme Plane on the Yulan Continent, they are mostly vague legends.

Doug and Jenny also put down their knives and forks, watching Raven nervously.

That was a world they couldn't reach.

Raven organized his thoughts in his mind, but did not directly describe the scenes of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

"Hell is very big."

He spoke slowly, his voice steady and powerful.

"It is the cradle of the strong, and the graveyard of the weak."

"Compared to this, the Yulan Continent is probably like a grain of sand outside Liuyun City."

"The gravity there is extremely high. Even in the Holy Land, you don't have the right to fly; you can only walk on the ground like an ordinary person."

Upon hearing this...

Doug's pupils contracted sharply.

The Holy Land...cannot fly?

In the Yulan Continent, the Holy Domain is already at the very top of the pyramid, revered by thousands.

But in hell, they are just ordinary people who can barely walk?

This huge difference made him feel suffocated.

"and……"

"There is no law, no morality there."

Raven's voice turned colder.

"The only rule is survival of the fittest."

"Killing happens every day."

"For divinity, for wealth, for even the slightest dislike."

"God-level powerhouses are falling like rain, and the Holy Domain is as worthless as grass."

The restaurant was deathly silent.

Jenny gripped Raven's arm tighter instinctively, her nails almost digging into his flesh.

She couldn't imagine what kind of hellish place her son had spent the last two hundred years in.

"And...and what about you?"

Little White raised its head, its lips still glistening with meat juice, its dragon eyes filled with worry.

"Master, were you bullied?"

"If you get bullied, let's not go. It'll be much better if we just stay on the Magnolia Continent and be local tyrants!"

Raven chuckled and flicked Xiaobai's head with his finger.

"Being bullied?"

He shook his head, a hint of arrogance flashing in his eyes.

That was an absolute confidence built upon countless corpses.

"It was indeed a bit troublesome when we first arrived."

"I was thrown into the Bauhinia Continent, with no relatives or friends to turn to."

Raven glosses over that most difficult period with a nonchalant air.

How to perceive the laws on the edge of life and death, how to crawl out of a pile of corpses...

"But things got better later."

"I fought my way through... and traveled all the way to the Blood Peak Continent."

Raven picked up his wine glass and took a sip of red wine.

"Now, I am the lord of Ziyang Prefecture on the Blood Peak Continent."

"Lord of the Manor?"

Doug paused for a moment, clearly having no concept of the term.

In his view, the prefectural lord was probably equivalent to the provincial governor of the empire, or the city lord of a major city.

"Um……"

"I guess it's like being an official in charge of a region?"

Doug asked tentatively.

Raven put down his glass and looked at his father's cautious manner, feeling a little amused.

Information gap.

"More or less."

Raven nodded, not wanting to dwell on the issue too much, lest he scare them.

"Its jurisdiction is only tens of thousands of times larger than that of the Yulan Continent."

"I command hundreds of millions of god-level experts..."
