After clearing the tower, Lin Zhen met with his family.
They had not seen each other for more than a decade. After chatting for a while, Lin Zhen received a Dimensional Universe call from Jin Nuo.
"Lin Zhen, come over here."
Lin Zhen agreed, parted from his family, and headed to Jin Nuo's little wooden cabin.
By the time he arrived, Jin Nuo had already prepared tea and was waiting for him.
"Fifth Senior Brother, you wanted to see me?"
"Lin Zhen, you performed exceptionally well this time. You exceeded even my expectations. I originally thought it would already be remarkable if you could clear the twenty-first floor. It seems I underestimated you."
Lin Zhen smiled. "There was some luck involved as well."
"Don't try to fool me with that. There is no such thing as luck when challenging the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower. You simply did well enough."
After a pause, Jin Nuo changed the subject.
"Lin Zhen, I don't want you to participate in the Holy Land Competition this time."
"Ah! Why?" Lin Zhen was stunned.
"There are two reasons. Clearing the tower is one of them. You have already proven your strength to the entire Origin Realm. I just spoke with Zhang Lang, Fang Fei, and Feng Dao in the Group Chat. They all agree that you no longer need to participate in the competition. You can be directly designated first place. That is one reason."
Lin Zhen remained silent, knowing Jin Nuo had more to say.
"The other reason is the Tian Huo War. During the Holy Land Competition, the entire Origin Realm will be watching. I don't want you to keep exposing yourself to the public either. The Tian Huo War is about to begin, and you should devote more of your energy to it."
