Fatty’s eyes welled with tears as he listened to the Fortune God’s words. The weight of his destiny, his sudden rise to power, was overwhelming. He struggled to hold back sobs. “I won’t fail you, Fortune lord,” he stammered, his voice thick with emotion.
The Fortune God’s presence faded completely, leaving behind only the echoes of his laughter. The sky returned to its normal blue, and the divine glow that had lingered around the War God Temple gradually dissipated, leaving the scene bathed in the natural light of the fading day.
As reality settled back into place, the blessed land lost its restrictions. Immediately the onlookers moved, rushing towards Kent, their eyes wide with awe and greed.
Everyone wanted a piece of the man who had drawn the attention of the gods. But as they approached, a powerful sword energy erupted around Kent, forming an impenetrable barrier that kept the crowd at bay.
The sword barrier cut anyone who approached it.
“Stay back!” Supreme Sword Magus voice boomed, laced with authority and resolve. The crowd recoiled, fear and respect flashing in their eyes as they realized the futility of pushing forward.
But among the crowd, one voice pierced the chaos—a voice filled with desperation and longing. “Brother! Brother Kent!”
Kent’s eyes turned at the familiar sound. He turned his gaze towards the source, seeing Tata Lan, the long-lost chubby girl who followed him during Storm God inheritance ground awakening.
Pushing her way through the crowd, Tata Lan moved towards Kent, her eyes wide with excitement.
She was a pretty, chubby woman, her face flushed with exertion as she fought to reach him. “Brother! It’s me, Tata!”
With a surge of willpower, Kent focused on the sword barrier, willing it to allow his closest ones to pass. The barrier shimmered, then parted like a veil, allowing Tata, along with Sophia, Lucy, and Amelia, to rush forward.
As Tata reached the steps of the throne, she slipped on the golden steps, tears streaming down her face. “Brother Kent, I thought I’d never see you again!”
Kent caught her, his lips curved into a smile at the sight of her tears. “I’m here, I’m here… Don’t rush.”
Behind Tata, Lucy and Amelia approached, their expressions a mixture of relief and joy. Lucy directly hugged, her voice soft but filled with warmth. “Thank God you were safe.”
Kent smiled at her, his gaze lingering on her familiar face.
Amelia, standing slightly back, nodded in agreement, though her eyes held a deeper meaning.
Before Kent spoke with his closed ones, a loud, joyful cry echoed as Fatty Ben, still clutching his newfound treasures, was tackled by Mei Bai, the arbiter lady, who enveloped him in a bone-crushing hug. .
“You lucky fool! Look at what you’ve got! I’m really worried about your safety”
Fatty, caught between tears and laughter, hugged Mei Bai back, his voice choked with emotion. “I don’t even know what to say… it’s like a dream!”
“You better believe it, you big oaf,” Mei Bai teased, though her eyes were shining with pride and affection. “Let’s see, how my family will reject us now. My father will beg you to marry me” Mei Bai chuckled with a teasing look.
As the reunion continued, the crowd outside the barrier watched with a mixture of envy and admiration.
But a few pair of eyes were staring at Kent with different kinds of emotions. Among them was Lana Mintleaf, the girl who had once been violated and had promised to marry by Kent. She stood at a distance, her eyes filled with a complicated blend of emotions as she watched the group.
Not far from her, the princesses of the Demonic tree sect, Mona, and the Princess of Ice Castle, Eira, staring at Kent with longing and desire.
While Eira is planning to take Kent as her partner and support the rise of her ICe Castle sect, Mona thinking of rising status of her Demonic tree sect by taking Kent as husband. But both knew that they were daydreaming.
Jia Ron of the Prime Family who Kent helped to get a treasure in Storm God inheritance and Kelly, the Ron Family girl who got beaten by Kent in the eternal forest of Storm god inheritance —gazed at Kent with expressions ranging from disbelief to awe. Each had lost their first time to Kent in the Lust goddess inheritance, and now, they were witnessing his rise in ways they could never have imagined.
Jia and Kelly exchanged a glance, their earlier skepticism replaced by genuine admiration. They had underestimated Kent, but now, standing before the barrier that had protected him from the masses, they realized just how much he had grown—how much he had become.
Jia still had good relation with Kent. But Kelly know how bitter her relationship. Her anger turned towards her sister, who attacked Fatty and ignited the quarrel between Kent and her.
Back inside the barrier, Kent finally released his girl friends from embrace, his eyes sweeping over the faces of those closest to him.
“Thank you all for being here,” he said, his voice filled with gratitude.
The situation finally began to return to normal, the divine energy fading completely, leaving only the echoes of what had transpired.
From a realm away, Jason and Ryan, who had been watching the entire spectacle, clenched their fists in fury. Their eyes blazed with anger as they saw Supreme Sword Magus protecting Kent like a guardian.
Simen and the other disciples from different realms start to leave, not even waiting for orders from their masters and trainers.
“Hahaha… Go… Go now and lick your wounds.”
“What a bunch of Idiots! They lost all fortune to help a single man…”
“Next time be careful when you visit the blue planet…”
The mockery continued as the blue planet fighters mocked the other realm disciples. But there is resistance from other realm disciples. All were blaming Simon who failed to lead them and forced them to use poison against an expert.

If not for Simon, the other realm disciples could have got Some great god inheritances. But not a single one of them god any type of inheritance or legacy.
As the Blue Planet disciples began to cheer, celebrating their victory and the inheritance received during the Immortal Beast Spirit Gathering, they couldn’t help but boo the other realms, who had once mocked them for their perceived weakness.
Now, the tables had turned, and the Blue Planet disciples revealed in their newfound pride.
Kent, standing at the center of it all, allowed himself a moment of reflection. He had been given incredible power, and with it came immense responsibility.
