Entering the Spirit Realm Again

In fact, within the Super God Guild, those Awakened members who hadn't joined the main team also wanted to join Bai Xiaowen's team to ride his coattails. They had already subtly inquired about this with Guild Leader Li Beihai through various channels.

This is where the convenience of autonomy comes into play. Li Beihai directly challenged Bai Xiaowen's autonomy, showing that even as the chairman, he had no right to interfere with Bai Xiaowen's team.

As for the main team of the Super God Guild, their hostility towards Bai Xiaowen, who decided to build his own team, is quite predictable.

Perhaps apart from Old Demon, the other four also had designs on the team Bai Xiaowen was about to establish—originally, they were the only members of the guild, so who else would receive all the resources if not them? Now things are different; there's another competing team.

Key players like Hou Zihua have said countless things behind Bai Xiaowen's back, criticizing him for being arrogant and unrealistic.

Bai Xiaowen had heard about this, but he didn't take it to heart at all.

This isn't to say that Bai Xiaowen is magnanimous or boundless, but rather that he simply doesn't consider the current main team of the Super God Guild as any competitor. In Bai Xiaowen's view, Battle Qi with the likes of Hou Zihua is a pure waste of time.

"Shu Yi and I are planning to go to the Spirit Realm again soon."

Bai Xiaowen said to Li Beihai.

"Are you ready?"

"Well, Shu Yi and I have been training our Battle Specialty and skills for the past two months, and we're almost there. Our main combat specialties are basically on par with our levels, so the speed boost from the league title isn't that significant anymore. Let's go to the Spirit Realm and do a few missions to reach level 7 as soon as possible; that's a crucial level," Bai Xiaowen said.

"Level 6 to level 7 is indeed crucial, signifying the leap from Intermediate Awakened to Advanced Awakened. However, at this level, the experience required for advancement is also very high, and it cannot be achieved in just one or two explorations of the Spirit Realm."

Li Beihai stroked his beard and recalled, "Back then, when I reached level 7, I ventured into the Spirit Realm about seven or eight times, which took me almost two years."

"Dad, Xiao Wen and I definitely won't need that long to reach level 7," Li Shuyi said confidently. The team she and Bai Xiaowen formed always completed missions with extremely high difficulty in the Spirit Realm exploration, and the experience points they gained were also very high, almost equivalent to the accumulation of several times by others.

Li Beihai grunted and changed the subject. "Have you found Spirit Realm Ticket? Should I collect one for you?"

"No need," Bai Xiaowen said with a smile. "My World Fame has remained at B-Tier for three consecutive months. I'll try my luck with the draw first. If I don't get Spirit Realm Ticket, I'll go to the school's Trial Space. That's a guaranteed ticket."

"Why don't we smoke here, bro?" Xiao Jun raised her hand and said, her eyes filled with curiosity about the world of the Awakened.

Bai Xiaowen had no objection; he summoned the roulette wheel and chose to draw a prize.

The B-Tier Roulette wheel radiated a silver light, and its lottery area still consisted of only four parts: 40% for Psionic Points, 30% for tickets, 20% for equipment, and 10% for mystery items.

Based on the patterns discovered from previous draws, the B-Tier Roulette rewards around 10,000 points in the Psionic Points area, which is considered the lowest value; the ticket area gives a B-Tier Spirit Realm Ticket, the equipment area gives a random piece of Gold Equipment, and the mystery area offers a huge reward.

"I'm not greedy. I'm fine with either the mystery zone or the ticket zone; the combined probability is 40%..." Bai Xiaowen silently chanted to himself, "The god of dice brings prosperity, the roulette wheel saves the nation..."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone at the table, Bai Xiaowen turned the pointer on the roulette wheel.

The pointer spun, then finally came to a stop.

"That's great," Bai Xiaowen said with a smile. Although the pointer didn't land on the mystery area, it did stop at the ticket area.

"You have obtained a Spirit Realm Ticket."

The roulette wheel's light faded, eventually transforming into a piece of parchment that landed in Bai Xiaowen's palm.

[Tome of Knowledge: Teleports the user to the Spirit Realm. Disappears after use. Remaining validity: 10 days.]

The 10-day countdown began.

This is a B-Tier Spirit Realm Ticket, which allows you to draw two affixes. Bai Xiaowen chose to draw them directly.

As a result, Bai Xiaowen drew item E, "Durability," and item F, "Challenge."

Bai Xiaowen was quite satisfied with this result. He would be happy as long as he could draw the "Durability" option, which would extend the exploration time in the Spirit Realm to 15 days. As for the Elite Tier mission in the "Challenge" option, it was just a bonus.

"It looks like it's set in ancient Europe," Li Beihai said after touching the texture of the parchment.

"The most likely background is ancient Europe," Li Shuyi also said.

"When do you plan to go?" Li Beihai asked. "Should we make some preparations?"

"Okay, let me check the data again."

After signing the S-Tier Contract, Bai Xiaowen had the authority to access all the data and intelligence stored by the Super God Guild —of course, classified information under the Spirit Realm Rules was not included.

For the next two days, Bai Xiaowen immersed himself in the Super God Guild's database, browsing through information with a Western background, all of which he had never encountered before.

Feeling that they were almost ready, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi chose to use their tickets at Taoran Residence and re-enter the Spirit Realm.

"Matching different dimensional worlds... Match successful!"

"Personal data scanned, currently in queue, please wait..."

"Entering a different dimension..."

"Emperor Tiberon, who unified the entire Aaron Continent, has been asleep for over three hundred years..."

"The Lionheart Empire declined amidst internal and external troubles..."

After those two notification sounds, Bai Xiaowen had a strange expression on his face, but he still listened patiently to the narration.

"The warriors of the kings return at the end of an era..."

After the notification ended, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi were temporarily in a separate space and did not immediately enter the dimensional world.

"This is... the Aaron Plane World? You seem to have been here before," Li Shuyi said.

Bai Xiaowen laughed and said, "Yes... a year ago, I had just become Quasi-Awakened, and I successfully awakened in the Aaron Plane World. Speaking of which, I really do have some kind of fate with this world."

Scenes and characters flashed through Bai Xiaowen's mind.

The powerful and loyal Knight Commander Goliya, the greedy yet pragmatic Chief Mage Kevin, the Elven Sword Dancer Lyra Redleaf whom he killed Grand Lord Galandis, whom he had never met but who harbored deep hatred for him, and the ruthless and cunning Usok...

The notification sound indicating the Spirit Realm Rules rang out at the opportune moment.

"Awakened Bai Xiaowen has been detected entering the Aaron Plane World for the second time."

"You can choose to enter the Aaron Plane World will be wiped clean."

"You can continue using the identity of Dio Skellboom and continue your exploration in the Aaron Plane World."
