“Hey, isn’t this different from what we had decided on before we arrived?” asked Nine-Tailed Fox unhappily. “I know that you’re thinking of using Garen’s position of strength and rank to improve your own social status but you should still behave with a bit of integrity, right?”
“Integrity? Are you actually saying that I don’t have any integrity?!” Night Water yelled. “Do you know who frantically went back and forth to take care the both of you when the after-effects occurred after you fell into a coma suddenly? Do you know who was supporting the rear steadily when both of you left for White Crab Island and were risking your lives there? Do you know who had to risk being discovered to sneakily place the monitoring device in… Mmm!!”
Before Night Water could finish speaking, Nine-Tailed Fox covered her mouth without batting an eyelid, making it impossible for her to make any noises except mumble.
“Aren’t you guys annoying?! You have been yapping all day long just because of some trivial matters! Do you know how to empathize with other people’s feelings?! You were yapping yesterday and today! Don’t forget that I still have nude photos of both of you… Ahh!” Night Water lunged towards Kong Xinxue, causing her to fall down before Nine-Tailed Fox rushed over to help as well. The three of them wrestled into a chaotic and messy catfight.
“Enough!”
Garen raised his voice slightly.
Whoos.h.!.+
A gust of strong wind was accompanied by a torrent of rain submerged the trio completely.
The trio was soaked to the bones instantly as Garen’s saliva sprayed across their heads and faces.
Splash.
Nine-Tailed Fox wiped a handful of saliva off her face before using both hands to comb her damp sticky hair backward.
“Isn’t it comfortable now…”
“I know! Ptui ptui ptui 1 !” Kong Xinxue jumped up from the ground. Her entire body was covered in Garen’s saliva.
Speaking of which, ever since Garen’s physical fitness became excessively powerful, his saliva secretions were also sufficiently strengthened. A random drop or sprinkle of his saliva could soak an entire person.
This was not the first time that this trio had experienced this situation.
“Hehehe… Luckily, I came prepared!” Night Water crawled up from the ground. The black tight-fitting clothing that covered her whole body seemed to be waterproof as large amounts of spit trickled down her body from the top. She became spotless once again. However, she had clearly overlooked the fact that her face and hair were still dripping.
The trio sat before Garen again. They were sitting upright despite their entire bodies being in a state of disorder. Moreover, the rising scent of the vaporizing saliva made them seem in an even worse off position.
“We came over this time with Night Water to proceed to Lighthouse together. That’s fine, right?” asked Nine-Tailed Fox formally. After all, it was obvious that Night Water and themselves wanted to go to Lighthouse together this time because they wanted to take advantage of Garen. Thus, they needed to seek his permission.
“It’s fine. Tell me the main matters.”
“From the information that I’ve received, Lighthouse should’ve lifted the restriction order long ago. However, there’s a huge difference on how to treat you,” said Nine-Tailed Fox quietly.
“Differences? What do you mean?” Garen was startled.
“Your powers have already reached the Suppressor’s level even though it’s merely human strength like ours. Thus, the forces of the three main clans in Lighthouse are consulting each other on how to arrange a position for you,” replied Nine-Tailed Fox.
“There are a total of three main clans in Lighthouse. Of course, these three clans are the most important. While there is obviously an abundance of other Transmigrator clans, their powers can be overlooked in comparison to these three main clans.”
“Who are the three main clans?”
Kong Xinxue took over the conversation and explained.
“The first one is the Many-Limbed Clan. Any races that have more than three limbs will be cla.s.sified as part of the Many-Limbed Clan. The second one is the Many-Eyed Clan. It follows the same principle whereby those with three or more eyes will be determined as part of the Many-Eyed Clan. Our human race is next. All beings that possess human figures or forms will be cla.s.sified as part of the human race. However, careful and strict cla.s.sification has determined that our human race mainly consists of human earthlings, merpeople, and winged people that form three groups. As a newly discovered earthling who belongs to the same level as a Suppressor powerhouse, they need to discuss the actual position, att.i.tude, and treatment that they’re willing to give you first. Next up are the att.i.tude, position, and reply within the human race. Indeed, many years have pa.s.sed without the appearance of a Suppressor level powerhouse.”
“Many years? How many years?” Garen was not interested in these struggles for influence but was focusing on other aspects instead.
“Perhaps about two to three thousand years. Lighthouse wasn’t established for a long time either and has only been around for about over ten thousand years. Only three Suppressors have appeared so far and they are the three highest-ranking individuals within the members a.s.sociation. They are Evil Shadow King, Strengthening Superhuman, and Pure Jade Clan King.”
“What about the other three?”
“The other three’s combat powers aren’t that great. However, they’re very useful and effective in other aspects such as the Worldly Tree of Knowledge Jules. He can give you the answer to almost any piece of knowledge you desire. He’s a superhuman old man who has lived for more than ten thousand years. He will hold cla.s.ses spontaneously when he’s in the mood. Occasionally, he will sleep or doze off as five or six years pa.s.s,” explained Kong Xinxue.
“The inside of Lighthouse has been further divided into Wind Tower, Water Tower, and Spirit Tower. We’re in the territory of Water Tower. This is because the specialty of our race is water as more than fifty percent of our bodies are made up of water.”
“Are the others similar in that sense? Are half of the insides of their bodies made up of wind? Or spirits?” Garen continued asking.
“Yes, the Three Main Tower Territories are each used as the living areas of the Three Main Forces. However, powerful beings like yourself must usually be sealed up first before they are allowed to come out and meet others,” answered Nine-Tailed Fox while smiling.
“I understand…” nodded Garen knowingly. He currently felt that the difference between their grades had grown too far. Moreover, this situation had produced various inconveniences. He could not help blowing a person away if the tone of his voice was slightly too loud.
“So the three of you came together because the restriction order was lifted?” Garen asked casually.
“Yes, it has probably been lifted now after so much time has pa.s.sed. However, regardless of the forces, at least your strength is powerful in comparison to the entire Transmigrator community. This is extremely good news because it means that they won’t neglect you but will spend to win you over instead,” replied Nine-Tailed Fox, smiling. “When the time comes, everything will be fine as long as there are no accidents.”
“When do we leave?” Garen took the communication device out. No one knew what this object was made of but its quality was unusually solid. The device had experienced numerous battles alongside Garen but was able to persevere without being damaged or breaking down at all. It was truly rare.
“Anytime.” Nine-Tailed Fox stood up.
“We’ll leave now then.” Garen got up before the two remaining people followed suit and stood up as well.
Nine-Tailed Fox nodded and took out her own communication device before tossing it in front gently.
“Open the Teleportation Point,” she said softly. “The largest scale.”
“The largest-scale requires the consumption of the highest level of Contribution Points, are you sure that you want to open it?” A melodious female voice echoed from the communication device.
“I’m sure,” answered Nine-Tailed Fox certainly.
Whoos.h.!.+
It moved at a rapid speed. Within the blink of an eye, a white Light Beam that resembled a line was projected from the bottom of the communication device directly.
The white Light Beam pulled itself open from both sides slowly like a folding door that was pulled into a semicircular white light door.
“You can go in now.” Nine-Tailed Fox nodded towards Garen. She finished speaking and took a long stride towards the light door.
A brief hissing noise could be heard when Nine-Tailed Fox’s entire body had just touched the light door before she disappeared completely.
Kong Xinxue took a step forward and caught up to her. She disappeared at the same time at the moment when she touched the light door.
Night Water cast her gaze towards Garen instead.
Garen smiled and walked towards the front of the light door.
He was finally about to leave this world and enter a larger universe and dimension.
His heart grew faintly exited. He was not merely going with the flow and rus.h.i.+ng into a world and universe chaotically by trying his luck. Instead, he had chosen his own path to the greatest of his capabilities.
“I’ll go first then?” He looked at Night Water before she nodded.
Garen did not waste time and took a big step forward. However, the moment before he was about to touch the white light, he suddenly felt Night Water’s hand grabbing his arm.
Shh!!
The white light burst open before his eyes and made it impossible for him to see anything clearly at that moment.
**************************
Within the boundless, pitch-black spatial universe, a long stretch of the galaxy was flowing slowly. The countless celestial bodies resembled the most insignificant grains of river sand in the galaxy.
These hundred billion celestial bodies finally formed this entire vast beautiful blue galaxy.
The galaxy moved slowly like the most magnificent whirlpool of flowing water while an imposing white lighthouse stood upright in the center.
The cylindrical white lighthouse stood tall in the center of the galaxy coincidentally while three blinding golden light pillars were projected from the top of the lighthouse. These light pillars penetrated the entire galaxy and illuminated the exterior of the boundless jet-black universe.
It seemed as though these three light pillars were completely motionless. However, if someone could measure the speed of the light pillar extremely accurately, they would discover that these light pillars would occasionally move towards other directions at a slow pace.
Nonetheless, throughout the distance of this vast galaxy that spanned across countless light-years, the speed of the light pillar’s movements appeared to be abnormally slow.
The interior of this white lighthouse was divided into a total of five floors. The highest floor was the control floor that controlled the operations throughout the entire lighthouse while the bottom included two floors of halls which were the High Hall and an observation hall.
The bottom of this lighthouse consisted of the important dwelling areas. The two other layers included the circular plaza and the library area.
The circular plaza was currently bordering the examination area. Within the largest Teleportation Linking Point, Garen appeared at the linking point suddenly with Night Water still holding on to his arm. Faint halos of white light were being released by the side of their bodies slowly.
The white shades before Garen’s eyes faded slowly as he regained his sight quickly. More than ten smiling white-robed people entered his line of sight and welcomed him.
“Welcome to Lighthouse, my dear clan member!” said the leading white-haired man loudly while stretching his arms open. “Sword Master Garen, we’ve heard about your great strength all the way from our headquarters. We’re ready to welcome you to formally join us any time.”
He walked over and extended his hand.
Garen reached his hand out as well before the both of them shook hands gently.
“I’m very glad to be able to come to Lighthouse formally as well.”
Garen surveyed his surroundings. He was currently standing inside a white cylindrical pavilion. There were rows of various white stone pillars beside him that were each larger than the previous one when you approached them from afar. Each of these stone pillars surrounded pavilions of various sizes. It appeared that they were used to teleport and transport Transmigrators of different physical sizes.
The vast blue galaxy was above his head while the white jade colored solid stone floor was below his feet.
“My name is Pera and I’m the main person in charge of the humans here. Our leader Pure Jade Clan King has already given orders regarding your matters beforehand. He will definitely entertain you properly and will meet you personally immediately after returning. The old man is currently handling the sect’s important matters in the local world and is too busy to attend to you for now,” explained Pera while glancing obviously at Night Water, Nine-Tailed Fox, and Kong Xinxue who were standing beside Garen.
There were all beautiful women. His heart knew exactly what it wanted immediately.
As the headquarters of the Transmigrators, Lighthouse naturally possessed beneficial relations.h.i.+ps on the inside as well. Places with intelligent creatures would have clashes of interest and could never be that pure. Moreover, the division of profit would naturally be related to the closeness between the strengths and forces.
“I’ll take you to the resting area that has been arranged already. After that, what would you say if I brought you to visit the various areas briefly?” said Pera while smiling. The other people behind him had friendly smiles on their faces as well. However, they were not forced smiles but were smiles that evolved from the heart instead. It was obvious that Garen’s arrival could produce real benefits and advantages to them.
“There’s no need. We’ll take Garen to visit around the area.” Without waiting for Garen to answer, Kong Xinxue stepped forward voluntarily and spoke. She was not an idiot. When she saw Pera coming forward to receive him personally despite being someone whose face she had never even seen once on a normal day, she immediately understood that Garen’s position of strength was perhaps higher than her expectations.
She was not an idiot. If she acted as if she was slightly closer to Garen now and borrowed some of his influence, her life would become much better in a place like Lighthouse where everything depended on power.
