Kent Clark arrived at his home, the grandest structure on the Blue Planet, now the power center of the Nine Realms. Without delay, he sent out a command, summoning all the women in his life to his chambers. Within moments, they all hurried in, their faces filled with eagerness, excitement, and a tinge of worry.
He stood before them, his expression serious. “Everyone, listen to my words attentively. On the 13th day from now, we are leaving this world. Not temporary… you might never come back here and you might won’t see youe families.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You might never return to the Nine Realms. So, think carefully. Decide your choice by tonight.
You have 13 days left before we leave this world entirely. If you have goodbyes to say, do it now, because once we step into the Immortal World… one day there is a thousand years here. By the time you regain consciousness, the people you leave behind will be long gone.”
The women took long time understand what’s happening around them. But soon realization dawned on their faces.
His words sent shockwaves through the room. The reality of leaving their families, their pasts, and their lives behind hit them harder than they had anticipated.
“What about the Blue Planet?” Amelia asked, her voice trembling.
“Regardless of what happens, I am passing down all my spells and knowledge to the Eternal Sun Sect, here in the next few days,” Kent replied. “The future is up to them. I have done my part.”
Maya, the Poison Sect lady, hesitated. “But the other god race people are still waiting to meet you… They want to hear your decision personally.”
Kent chuckled. “Oh, we’ll be in the Immortal World and take a breath, and people might even forget my existance. Let the world move on as it must. We have our own journey.”
Many women stood in silence, unsure of what to do. They had known for a long time that Kent was moving far beyond their reach, but they had never thought the moment of separation would come so soon. For those who chose to stay, this was their last night with him.

Later that evening, Kent visited his mother’s chamber. She was waiting for him, standing on the balcony, overlooking the vast lands of the Blue Planet.
“Mother, I want you to come with me to the Immortal World,” Kent said softly.
She turned to him with a warm yet resolute smile. “My son, I know you would ask me this. Even though your offer is very much tempting, I can’t follow your path. My place is here. My life’s fulfillment will be ruling these Nine Realms efficiently. I have spent years building this empire, and I cannot abandon it.”
Kent clenched his fists. “But you could achieve so much more if you came with me. You would have limitless opportunities in the Immortal World.”
She shook her head. “What use are opportunities to me? My people need me. These lands need me. Your legacy will remain here, and so will I.”
Kent sighed deeply. He had anticipated her refusal, but it still hurt.
She stepped forward and took his hand in hers. “But there is something you can do for me, before you leave. Take Thea with you.”
Kent’s expression darkened. “Mother, I…”
“I know,” she interrupted. “I know she hurt you. But that was my doing. I forced her hand back in Silver Leaf Town. If you must blame someone, blame me. Thea is your predestined wife, and she deserves another chance.”
Kent was silent for a long moment, his emotions in turmoil. He had buried his feelings about Thea and already forgot her existance, but hearing his mother speak with such regret stirred something within him.
“Fine,” he finally said. “Out of respect for you, I will take her with me. But I am not promising anything beyond that.”
His mother nodded. “That is enough. Thank you.”
The final thirteen were chosen: Amelia – Woman of the Su Yang Clan, Maya – Poison Sect Lady, Sophia – Chen Family Girl, Lucy – Girl from Silver Leaf Town’s Gray Family, Lana – Moonbrook Family of Golden Bamboo City, Jia Ron – Kent’s closest aide, Tata Lan – Fierce lolli who once followed Kent, Two Dragon Twin Sisters, Fatty Ben and His Wife – Kent’s childhood friend and his loyal partner, Thea – His past, his unresolved destiny, Lily – Thea’s sister…
Even though Kent had many other good women, they decided to stay with their families. Also, many others close ones chose to stay behind. They spent the memorable night with Kent, giving Kent their final gift—his children, who would continue his legacy in the Nine Realms.
For the next thirteen days, Kent traveled across the realms, meeting with old friends, giving blessings, and ensuring that those he cared about were well taken care of. The world moved quickly, and the final day arrived.
The group made their way to the Devil Mountain, where Elder Mahavir would open the portal. As they approached the entrance to the Devil Forest, an enormous crowd awaited them.
Friends, family members, warriors, rulers, and admirers from all over the Nine Realms had gathered to bid Kent farewell. Many wept, some stood in awe, and others saluted the man who had changed their world forever.
“Kent Clark, we will never forget you!” shouted a warrior from the human armies.
“May the Immortal World treat you well!” called another.
Kent stood before the crowd, looking at the faces of those who had fought beside him, laughed with him, and cried with him. “This is not the end,” he said, his voice carrying across the masses. “You are all stronger than you think. The world belongs to you now. Build it well.”
The group turned and entered the Devil Mountain.
To Kent’s surprise, as they reached the depths of the Devil Mountain, a familiar figure was already waiting for them. The Kaban King stood there, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
“Kent Clark! Finally, you’re here!” he said, a wide-grin spreading across his face.
Kent narrowed his eyes. “You seem unusually happy.”
