Flora asked, "Raine, then...then tomorrow's dinner?"

Renn teased Xiao Jia with a smile, "Go if you want to, don't go if you don't want to. It's all up to you."

Flora's eyes lit up with delight upon hearing this: "Then I won't go! I hate banquets the most!"

Flora had some doubts about Rein's abilities before, but now she believes him.

Rein put Xiao Jia back into the secret realm and laughed, "Indeed, a noble banquet is essentially a social activity. When you are in this society, you have to expend energy to deal with other people."

"But... when you're strong enough that you don't need to care about anyone's opinions at the banquet, you'll enjoy the banquet."

"Back then, even if you slapped the host of the banquet twice in public, he would still smile and say hello to you."

Flora pouted: "Hmph~ I don't like it either!"

Renn smiled and didn't seem to care.

...

After discussion, Ryan, being male, moved from Flora's room to Daisy's room next door, separated from Flora's room only by an inner door.

Daisy, the little maid, will stay with Flora for the time being.

In Renn's room, Renn leaned against the headboard and flipped through a book called "A Collection of Encounters on the Eternal Continent".

'Eternal Continent' is the Southern Continent, the continent that the people of the Southern Continent refer to as the continent they live on.

After spending an afternoon researching, Renn gained some understanding of the Southern Continent.

According to Raine's estimate, the southern continent is quite large, about one-third the size of the main continent.

There are three transcendent forces in the Southern Continent, and they are undoubtedly the leading forces in the Southern Continent.

What constitutes a leading force? It's a force that has at least one member with a seventh-tier combat power!

These are: the Lylemont Empire, the Bran Empire, and the Duchy of Vinidel.

Above the three transcendent powers, there is a hegemonic power: the Healing Church!

The Healing Church is not a neutral force like the Church of Light on the main continent, and it does not occupy territory on the continent.

Conversely, the Healing Church 'semi-rules' over the three major powers.

The Healing Church held a degree of influence in the election of emperors and kings.

Because the Pope of the Healing Church is a genuine eighth-order demigod-level powerhouse!

From this information, Renn could also sense that the Life Scepter mentioned by the Goddess of Life was most likely in the hands of this Healing Church.

Ding ding ding.

"Go in," Raine said, closing the book in his hand.

As soon as she finished speaking, Daisy, the little maid, pushed the food cart in from outside.

"Lord Renn, dinner is ready."

"Just put it aside, I can handle it myself later," Renn nodded.

Daisy placed the food cart aside, gave a slight bow, and left the room.

After dinner, it was already late. Looking at the starry night sky outside the window, Renn waved and entered the secret realm.

The mountainside plaza of the Witch's Secret Realm.

Raine stood in the center of the square and spoke:

"Qingyue, I'm ready. Let's begin."

"Alright." The cold voice of the Goddess Qingyue rang in Renn's ears.

As soon as he finished speaking, the moon in the sky above the secret realm suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and a silvery-white light shot out from the moon, enveloping Renn.
