Hum~ Li Yuan only felt a flash before his eyes, followed by countless colorful lights zipping past him, and he felt as though he was being swept away by a current, his body even experiencing a sensation of weightlessness.
His divine sense couldn’t be extended outward.
<<This probably isn’t the legendary space teleportation, but rather moving along a passage,>> Li Yuan thought to himself.
After barely more than ten seconds, Li Yuan felt the flowing lights disappear before his eyes, and an invisible force lifted him up from beneath his feet as he rose quickly through the passage, as if buoyed by an unseen force.
He gently landed on the metallic induction platform.
He had returned to the entrance of the passage, located within the War Fortress of the Fierce Feather Star Realm.
Above his head was a giant dome constructed of metal.
<<Li Yuan.>>
<<Li Yuan, you’re finally back.>>
<<Li Yuan, I’m Tavares.>> A group of figures exuding powerful auras had been waiting for some time and came up to greet him, all sporting smiles and greeting Li Yuan in turn.
<<Mentor Wu.>>
<<Yu… Mentor Yu.>> Li Yuan was somewhat bewildered as he looked at the group before him.
He only recognized Wu Manong and Yu Jinghe.
In fact, this was his first encounter with Yu Jinghe, and as for the others? He knew their names but couldn’t match them to faces.
But that didn’t prevent Li Yuan from using Divine Palace Inquiry to instantly verify the strength of the group.
29.9 level!
29.9 level!
30.2 level!
…Two Flying Heaven Martial Artists, and the rest were Top Grade Origin Martial Artists… and from their self-introductions, Li Yuan understood that these Top Grade Origin Martial Artists were definitely the most fearsome among the Seven Star Civilization.
Each had the strength to fight against a Flying Heaven Martial Artist.
Quickly, through introductions, Li Yuan got to know each of these powerful beings… Lude Nef, An Yongya, Tavares, Dorothy… each one a legendary supreme fighter in the eyes of common folk, their destructive power akin to human-shaped nuclear weapons, exerting tremendous deterrence.
At this moment, they were all exceedingly polite to Li Yuan.
<<Honored seniors,>> Li Yuan couldn’t help saying, <<Why have you all come here?>>
<<Li Yuan, didn’t you send a message saying the passage was closing and you were preparing to return?>> Wu Manong chuckled, <<You are the number one contributor to this World within Worlds battle, so naturally we came to welcome you.>>
The first time they met, Wu Manong was quite indifferent to Li Yuan, treating him like a junior.
Now, though, he was quite enthusiastic.
<<It’s thanks to the seniors fighting on the outside that the War Base could stand unshaken, allowing us to easily win within the World within Worlds,>> Li Yuan continued, having always been aware of the situation outside.
<<Haha, alright.>> Lude Nef with his hair in disorder and a smile on his face said, <<Li Yuan, there’s no need for modesty, we’ve seen your contributions. Not to mention other things, just for taking down three demigod-level geniuses, you’re credited with exceptional meritorious service.>>
<<Moreover, in the last two days, you led a team to kill nearly a thousand warriors from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, which is also a great achievement.>>
<<When it comes to merits, you are the first.>> Lude Nef laughed, <<It’s already detailed in our alliance’s report, and there’s no need for further dispute over this.>>
Li Yuan was speechless; his leadership in the last two days had involved using ‘World within Worlds Inquiry Authorization’ from the Boundary Spirit, akin to having full-map cheats.
He exposed all those Gu Yue Divine Kingdom warriors who couldn’t return due to the passage closing, one by one.
In actuality, these warriors were innocent… but in a battle for the existence of a civilization, there was no room for pity.
It also allowed Li Yuan to gather a vast amount of spiritual nurishment, boosting his Spiritual Awakening Level to 45%, reaching the current limit.
<<Let’s go.>>
<<Li Yuan, we have already arranged a feast to honor your return,>> Tavares said with a smile, <<and no need to call us seniors anymore; you are now a Prime Warrior yourself, just call us by our names.>>
…
After the feast, Lude Nef, Wu Manong, and other top-tier geniuses took their leave one after another.
The closure of the portal used by the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom was known to the Seven Stars side, and with that, the Great Battle of the World within Worlds had come to a definitive end.
Naturally, they didn’t linger in the Fierce Feather Star Realm.
The Flying Heaven Martial Artists like Flame Cloud Fox, Dorothy, and others had tasks to attend to, their presence in the Fierce Feather Star Realm destined to be a long-term affair… just the cleanup after this battle would keep them busy for a long time.
Only Yu Jinghe stayed with Li Yuan.
<<Li Yuan, today is our first meeting, isn’t it?>> Yu Jinghe said with a smile.

<<I’ve heard so much about Big Brother Yu.>> Li Yuan replied with a smile, <<In fact, you’re my uncle’s lifesaver, and I’ve always kept that in my heart. I just didn’t find it appropriate to mention it earlier with so many people around.>>
Big Brother Yu, that was the name Li Yuan had adapted during the feast.
<<Oh?>> Yu Jinghe expressed surprise.
Li Yuan immediately recounted the incident of his uncle Li Changzhou trapped in the Rob Sea.
<<If it hadn’t been for you guarding the War Fortress back then, my uncle would surely have perished,>> Li Yuan said.
<<That battle…>> Yu Jinghe immediately remembered and with a smile said, <<I believe that in the future, you will do the same, making contributions to our entire civilization.>>
For a top-tier Prime Warrior like Yu Jinghe.
They enjoyed a wealth of resources from civilization and were highly valued by the upper echelons.
But many crises involving the Second Level Star Realms required them to fight at the forefront.
<<Also, congratulations are in order for receiving the inheritance of a demigod-level powerhouse.>> Yu Jinghe said with a smile, <<The legendary Visualization Method is said to be very mystical.>>
He was also somewhat aware of Li Yuan’s gains.
<<It was just good luck on my part,>> Li Yuan said with a smile.
<<It’s because your strength is formidable,>> Yu Jinghe looked at Li Yuan, <<The demigod-level geniuses from the Immortal Ruins Civilization were all formidable… yet they all fell to your hands, which says it all.>>
