Pushing open the main hall doors, Andrew Han walked toward the entrance of the tranquil Starry Wonder Manor.
Inside the manor, rare and exotic flowers filled the space, and now and then two or three colorful vortices spun through the air, making it resemble a breathtakingly beautiful earthly paradise.
Suddenly, a respectful voice reached his ears. Andrew turned to look.
"Your Highness."
Victor Wu, wearing his ten-meter-tall hat, appeared from nowhere and bowed deeply. "A few days ago, His Highness Bloodchart and Her Highness Zara Lan paid a visit, specifically asking after your whereabouts."
Having just become a Primeval Steward for the first time, Victor Wu was extremely meticulous.
No matter how small the matter, he would always report to His Highness and let Andrew Han decide personally... He painstakingly painted a vivid replay of the scene, leaving nothing out and making it extremely lifelike.
Indeed.
It was a painting, not a mere description.
With his peak Void Rift cultivation, Victor Wu sketched one illusory scene after another in front of him, the rippling air forming images so vivid that Andrew Han was left stunned. Such a conscientious attitude was truly admirable.
"Alright, I understand."
Andrew Han nodded thoughtfully.
Just after entering the Primeval Gate, Bloodchart had gone to great lengths to help him... As for Zara Lan, she was the one who had once jokingly teased Sean Nan. Both of them had come, but their words were vague and indirect.
However.
Judging from Victor Wu's vivid replay, Andrew Han vaguely guessed the true reason for Bloodchart and Zara Lan's visit.
It was probably related to Brother Howard Gu.
Howard Gu, who had recommended him for entry into the Archaic Hall, was truly the strongest Primeval at the peak of Void Rift.
"Strange." Andrew Han frowned deeply.
"Isn't Brother Howard Gu preparing to break through to Cosmos Union Tier? He should be making his last attempt to challenge the Eternal King stage. I've always kept that in mind. Did something happen to Brother Howard Gu?"
Thinking of this, Andrew Han's heart suddenly trembled.
A drop of water's kindness should be repaid with a spring; this is the principle and bottom line Andrew always upholds.
Victor Wu, standing quietly at the side, noticed Andrew Han's grim expression and thought Andrew blamed him. He hurriedly took responsibility: "Please forgive me, Your Highness. I dared not record the scene at the time, so I could only paint a picture from memory."
"That's alright, that's how it should be," Andrew Han waved his hand.
In front of two Primevals, recording with technology or secret arts is considered a rude act of disrespect.
Victor Wu nodded repeatedly: "Your Highness is absolutely right."
"Victor Wu, don't flatter me anymore," Andrew Han chuckled and shook his head. After Victor Wu left, Andrew took out his Star-Gate Martial Communicator and marked two contacts: Bloodchart and Zara Lan.
He sent out communication requests to both of them in turn.
Ding dong, ding dong. Unfortunately, neither of them answered.
"Alright then," Andrew Han pondered. "If video calls can't get through, I can at least send a message. Now I can only wait for their reply."
After sending the messages.
His figure rose upward.
Like a blue bridge spanning both ends of the universe, Andrew Han headed to the entrance of the Primeval Gate, preparing to challenge the Flame-Heritage Mountains again.
The Primeval Gate symbolizes the Primeval tier. Each Genius tier corresponds to a certain level of talent, with a standard line and a highest ceiling. For Primevals, the baseline is clearing the sixth layer of the Flame-Heritage Mountains, while the highest ceiling is the eighth layer.
At the entrance to the Primeval Gate, there are one hundred and two Flame-Heritage Mountains.
Among the variously meaningful peaks, a woman in pale green battle armor stood with her arms crossed, her cold gaze sweeping over the mountains until it landed on one peak where her best friend was currently challenging it: "Fighting for so long—how disappointing. You know, even passing the sixth layer of a mountain has differences in strength."
Clearing the same layer of the Flame-Heritage Mountains does not mean the level of talent is exactly the same.
Whether one passes easily, after fierce combat, only after bitter struggle, or barely after a long bloody fight—these various situations represent very different levels of talent.
In other words.
