Uncle Kolan!?

"Kolan, how could you be a Saint Realm necromancer?" asked the Wind Element Saint Magus, Dickeny, unable to hold back.

Before this, Kolan had been a teacher at Yulan Magic Academy and had even served as its vice principal.

They had known each other for a hundred years.

Kolan smiled. "I practice Life Magic alongside Necromancy!"

Dickeny furrowed his brow. "Life Magic and Necromancy are both exceedingly difficult to master. We Saint Magi pursue godhood, but practicing both Life Magic and Necromancy will make it even harder for you to become a god."

Those in the Saint Realm naturally aspired to godhood.

After all, the High Priest and the War God, the two divine-level powerhouses, stood as benchmarks for everyone to strive toward.

Kolan smiled but offered no further explanation.

Everyone at their table was a Saint Magus from the Yulan Empire, so they felt quite at ease.

"The Four Ultimate Warriors are all incredibly powerful now. Their mastery of the Laws isn't all that impressive yet, but their strength increases tremendously after they transform. I hear they've all reached the Saint Realm's limits," Natalie said.

"They really have reached the Saint Realm's limits. When Baruch challenged Senior Brother earlier, he fought him to a draw without transforming into a dragon. After he did, Senior Brother lost to him," Riley said with a nod.

Now that Baruch had founded the Baruch Clan, both acquaintances and strangers had come to offer their congratulations.

It was because Baruch was so powerful!

A powerhouse at the Saint Realm's limits stood at the very pinnacle of the Saint Realm, just below the divine-level powerhouses.

And now, Baruch was at that level!

Kolan joined in the festivities and soon got to know the others, making the acquaintance of the other Saint Realm powerhouses.

Unfortunately, not one person present practiced the Death Rules, and there was only one Saint Realm powerhouse who practiced the Life Law.

He was a Life Saint Magus from the Temple of Life, and he had become one only twenty years ago.

"Baruch, is this your son?" Kolan asked when he spotted a handsome young man who bore some resemblance to Baruch.

"Yes, this is my son, Ryan. He's twenty-five this year and an Eighth-level Warrior." Baruch smiled. "Ryan, this is Kolan, a Saint Magus. Go on, call him Uncle!"

"Uncle Kolan!" Ryan called out.

"Haha, now that you've called me Uncle, I'd feel bad not giving you a present." Laughing, Kolan took off the Space Ring on his hand. It was the one with a storage space of one cubic meter.

Ever since he had obtained a better Space Ring, Kolan had transferred everything into it, leaving this one unused.

He removed its owner-bound enchantment and tossed the Space Ring to Ryan.

"Th-this is a Space Ring?!" Baruch exclaimed in surprise.

The Saint Realm powerhouses nearby all turned to look.

Space Rings were incredibly precious. Of the hundred or so Saint Realm powerhouses present, at least a third didn't have one.

And now Kolan was giving a Space Ring away.

"Uncle Kolan, this Space Ring is priceless. It's far too precious. I can't accept it," Ryan said quickly.

Having grown up around such things, Ryan naturally knew a great deal. His perspective was far beyond that of someone from an ordinary family.

Kolan smiled unconcernedly. "I have another Space Ring. One is enough; there's no use having more. Just take it."

Baruch hesitated, then said to Ryan, "Hurry up and thank your Uncle Kolan."

"Thank you, Uncle Kolan!" Ryan said at once.

The Baruch Clan wasn't short of money, but Baruch was the only one in the clan with a Space Ring. No matter how much money they had, they couldn't buy one.

"Train hard. An Eighth-level Warrior is pretty good, but only those who become Saint Realm powerhouses are truly strong," Kolan encouraged him.

"Haha, it's lively here today. Nearly a sixth of the Saint Realm powerhouses on the Yulan Continent have come. That saves me from having to visit them one by one." Just then, a hearty voice rang out, and a white-haired old man descended from the sky.

"May I ask who you are, sir?" Baruch stepped forward and asked with a smile.

"Me?" The white-haired old man looked at Baruch with a smile. "My name is Hodan!"

Kolan's heart jolted. He hadn't expected this white-haired old man to be Hodan, the Plane Overseer. Hodan was a Mid-God from the Renars Clan, a super-clan in Hell!

He hadn't expected Hodan to have already arrived at the Yulan Plane and become its Plane Overseer at this point in time!

"Sir, my fellow disciples and I would like to raise a glass to you!" Riley said. The Saint Magi from the Temple of Life all rose and lifted their glasses.

Everyone else began looking at Hodan differently.

Only a divine-level powerhouse would be addressed as "sir" by Saint Realm powerhouses.

Hodan then had everyone who wasn't in the Saint Realm leave the courtyard.

Riley also introduced Hodan to everyone in front of the whole gathering.

Everyone immediately became more respectful. After all, he was a divine-level powerhouse.

Hodan smiled. "Everyone should know that the Yulan Plane is a Material Plane. There are countless Material Planes like it. Above the Material Planes are the Seven Divine Planes and the Four Supreme Planes. The Seven Divine Planes are the Earth Divine Plane, the Wind Divine Plane, the Fire Divine Plane, the Fire Divine Plane, the Thunder Divine Plane, the Dark Divine Realm, and the Light Divine Realm. The Sovereigns of each element joined forces to create the Seven Divine Planes. The Four Supreme Planes are Hell, the Netherworld, the Life Divine Realm, and the Celestial Realm. They were opened up by the Four Overgods. The Seven Divine Planes and Four Supreme Planes are seas of powerhouses."

"In ordinary Material Planes, any creature who reaches the Saint Realm is entitled to enter one of the Four Supreme Planes or Seven Divine Planes to cultivate and live," Hodan said. "Throughout the history of the Yulan Continent, many Saint Realm powerhouses have left and chosen to enter one of them."

"In the Seven Divine Planes and Four Supreme Planes, experts are everywhere, and Saint Realm powerhouses are ordinary people. You can receive the finest cultivation there, and treasures are as plentiful as water. Space Rings, for instance, are so common you'd be amazed," Hodan coaxed.

"Mr. Hodan, I've only been cultivating for a few hundred years, and I've just founded a clan. I'm not ready to leave the Yulan Continent," Baruch said apologetically.

The other Ultimate Warriors also spoke up one after another. They were all young by Saint Realm standards. Though they had already reached the pinnacle of the continent, they clearly hadn't grown tired of it yet.

Hodan couldn't help feeling secretly disappointed.

He would have loved to send all Four Ultimate Warriors to the Divine Planes or Supreme Planes to die. After all, they were members of the Four Divine Beasts Clan, and the Renars Clan was sworn enemies with the Four Divine Beasts Clan. The two sides were currently at war.

If he could, he would have liked to kill the Four Ultimate Warriors himself. But Beirut had already warned him: he couldn't make a move in the Yulan Plane or force any Saint Realm powerhouse to go to a Divine Plane or Supreme Plane.

Of course, Hodan hadn't come away empty-handed. More than a dozen veteran Saint Realm powerhouses had cultivated for thousands of years and had long since had their fill of life. Their children had passed away long ago, and though they had families, so many generations had passed that they no longer felt any familial ties. They chose to leave the Yulan Plane and venture into the Divine Planes and Material Planes.
