"How should I let them know? Gather all of them in one place?" Yuan asked.

"No, you don’t need to do that much. Just speak to them using the Mystic Realm. You can broadcast your voice to everyone in this world if you wish. Just ask the Mystic Realm to help you."

Yuan nodded and said, "Mystic Realm, I would like to speak with everyone in this world, so make sure my voice can be heard by everyone."

[Command acknowledged]

[You may speak whenever]

"Ahem!" Yuan cleared his throat before his speech, and his voice echoed throughout the world for everyone to hear, almost as though there was a god speaking to them from above.

"Hello, everybody in the Mystic Realm. I will keep this brief. I have recently become the Master of the Mystic Realm, and as the new Master, I will be opening the Mystic Realm for those of you who wish to leave this world and go outside."

"There will be a portal near the Mystic Pagoda, so if you wish to leave, you may go through this portal, which will take you outside the Mystic Realm. That is all."

The natives were greatly shocked after hearing Yuan’s words. There’s a new Master for the Mystic Realm? And this person will be opening the Mystic Realm again? Why would this person do something like that for them? And who is the identity of this new Master?

The natives were also sketchy about this announcement. Nevertheless, many of these natives were desperate to leave the Mystic Realm, so a lot of people from around the Mystic Realm began preparing their trip to the Mystic Pagoda.

"Now that all of that is done, what else should I do?" Yuan asked.

"You have already done more than enough, young man." Grandpa Lan said with a smile on his face.

And he continued, "Everyone that has been yearning to leave this place will be finally able to do so. I can imagine the population in this world lowering by a lot in the next few weeks."

"How about I open the Mystic Realm for the people outside as well? This way, there will be more people coming into this world."

"Hm? You mean you’re not going to take the Mystic Realm with you?" Grandpa Lan looked at him with wide eyes.

"Can I even take something this massive with me?" Yuan raised his eyebrows.

"Of course. You can take it with you like a Soul Weapon." Grandpa Lan nodded.

"But if I do that... How will people enter or leave this place?" Yuan asked.

"Well... They can’t— at least not until you take out the treasure again."

After pondering for a moment, Yuan said, "I will leave the Mystic Realm where it has been for the last few hundred thousand years. This way, people can enter and leave as they wish, and the sects will be able to continue doing this event which decides the rank of their sects."

After all, even if he’s the Master of the Mystic Realm, he has no real use for such a place, and it would be somewhat unfair to the people that have been relying on the Mystic Realm for so long if he took it with him.

"I understand. If that’s your decision, then so be it." Grandpa Lan nodded.

"Yuan, what should we do now?" Wang Xiuying asked him a moment later.

"Since you have automatically disqualified all of the participants, there is no longer any reason for us to be here. We can simply leave whenever we want."

"You’re right... I don’t think we should linger in this place when everyone is already outside." Yuan agreed with her.

"There’s no need to be in such a hurry, young man. How about we return to the cabin and have some tea before you leave? I also have something to give you." Grandpa Lan said to him.

"Okay." Yuan nodded.

"What about you? Do you want to come along? I can take you out of here if you wish."

"I don’t want to leave alone. I can already imagine what might happen if I do..." Wang Xiuying shuddered at the thought of being surrounded by everyone outside the moment she leaves, asking her why she’s the only one who didn’t get kicked out.

"Great. Then let’s go." Grandpa Lan said to them.

A moment later, they went outside, where Grandpa Lan transformed into his serpent form, shocking Wang Xiuying.

"Y-You’re a magical beast?"

"A Divine Beast, to be exact." Grandpa Lan said with a smile.

"A Divine Beast...? Yuan, don’t you also have a Divine Beast as a servant?" Wang Xiuying recalled one of his world announcements.

"What? You have a Divine Beast as a servant?" The Lan Family looked at him with their eyes wide with shock.

They didn’t know Divine Beasts could be servants, as they are usually extremely prideful beings that would never lower themselves to become a servant.

"Yes, I do." Yuan nodded.

"Unbelievable..." Grandpa Lan mumbled.

Lan Yingying stared at Yuan silently, seemingly in deep thoughts.

"Get on my back. I’ll carry you guys back to the Divine Forest." Grandpa Lan said to them.

"Let me create the exit for the natives first," Yuan said, and he commanded the Mystic Realm to create a portal right outside the Mystic Pagoda, which will let the natives finally leave this place.

Once that was done, he jumped on Grandpa Lan’s back with Wang Xiuying and the others before flying into the sky and away from the Mystic Pagoda.

In the air, Wang Xiuying looked at Lan Yingying for a good moment before asking her, "If you don’t mind me asking, what’s your relationship with Yuan?"

"What...?" Lan Yingying pondered for a moment before speaking, "He impregnated me."

"He what?!" Wang Xiuying exclaimed, nearly falling off Grandpa Lan’s back from shock after hearing Lan Yingying’s shocking words.
