Chiyang City.

A crowd gathered in front of a small plaza, with many young children lining up at the front.

At this moment, a magic talent test was underway.

This was a test conducted by the West Magic Academy of the Rhine Empire. On the Yulan Continent, the most famous magic academy was naturally the Ernst Institute in the Fenlai Kingdom.

However, apart from that, there were many other magic academies.

For instance, there was the William Academy and others, and this West Magic Academy was also a very reputable institution.

Unlike the Holy Union, the Rhine Empire's magic testing was carried out by various magic academies arranging visits to specific cities. Chiyang City was one of them.

"So, this is how one tests whether they can become a mage."

Meng Shan and his four companions were also watching from a distance.

"Meng, do you think we have the talent to become mages?"

The thin, sharp-featured man suddenly asked.

The hearts of the group stirred.

On the Blue Star Plane, mages were considered a minor path because there was no way to determine if one could practice magic, nor was there a unified system, making it difficult to develop.

But here, mages held a status even higher than warriors.

Especially Saint-level mages, who possessed various forbidden spells capable of easily turning the world upside down.

If one had the talent for magic, practicing it was naturally the best choice.

Meng Shan's heart wavered as well; even though he was already a Level 7 Warrior, the thought of being able to cultivate magic to the seventh level made him yearn for it.

"Everyone testing for magic talent is a child. Have we exceeded the age limit?"

The short-haired woman suddenly spoke up.

The group's hearts sank a little. Indeed, everyone being tested was a child; could it be that magic talent testing had an age restriction?

"Perhaps others were tested when they were children."

The thin man, unwilling to give up this opportunity, retorted.

Magic testing required a fee of ten gold coins, and perhaps most people did not get tested simply because of this cost.

After pondering for a moment, Meng Shan said, "Regardless of whether we can be tested, we must pay close attention to this matter of mages."

Even if they couldn't practice magic themselves, if they could bring back the methods of practicing magic, they would never have to worry about gold coins for the rest of their lives.

This was a long-term path to wealth.

Although he was becoming increasingly curious about the Blue Star Plane and the Magic Teleportation Array, Beirut felt no concern at all.

On the contrary, he looked forward to more and more people coming to the Yulan Plane; after all, the Yulan Continent had become a bit too boring for him.

It was somewhat like someone who had been observing ants playing, suddenly finding a caterpillar to watch.

Therefore, not only did Beirut not restrict the lives coming from Blue Star to the Yulan Continent, but he even provided them with sufficient "help." For instance, he built a small island in the area of the magic array, specifically to give the newly arrived lives a place to settle.

Likewise, On Blue Star.

After Fang Yun left the Velociraptors to guard the Magic Teleportation Array, he no longer intervened proactively.

Whether it was humans or Magic Beasts, after a period of entanglement, it was finally decided that Fulong Mountain would remain under the administration of the Yanhua Empire, but no restrictions could be placed on other lives entering.

To this end, other empires and Magic Beasts would compensate the Yanhua Empire with certain territories.

Therefore, the only things truly blocking people from entering were those two Level 7 Velociraptors.

Since these two Velociraptors knew the rules for entering the valley, they must have an owner. Facing the potential "existence" behind them, naturally, no one wanted to provoke them.

At least, no one wanted to right now. Those who had cultivated to the Saint-level were no fools. Just because the master of this valley did not appear did not mean they did not exist. Otherwise, none of this could be explained.

Thus, everyone tacitly accepted the existence of these two Velociraptors.

Furthermore, Zhou Yuan had seen with his own eyes the Crimson Feather Golden Phoenix enter the magic array and then vanish. No one knew the specific situation, and under such circumstances, even if someone were asked to go up, no one would be willing.

It was because of this that all the experts reached their previous consensus.

As the situation at Fulong Mountain stabilized, even Fulong Town began to transform into a major city.

It was the only city in the Yanhua Empire, or rather on Blue Star, where Magic Beasts and humans coexisted. Moreover, the Magic Beasts were all high-level ones.

Even Fang Yun had not expected this change.

However, this was fine; it would be more interesting this way.

It was just that he needed to find a new way to activate the magic array.

This magic teleportation channel was different from ordinary teleportation arrays; it was controlled through the Coiling Dragon in his mind, meaning that currently, only he could activate it.

Whether it was the teleportation array on Fulong Mountain or the one in the South Sea of the Yulan Continent, Fang Yun could sense them.

As long as he willed it, he could activate the teleportation array.

However, he could not spend every day focusing on these trivial matters.

Perhaps I could try doing what the Plane Guardian in the original work did and hand the authority to activate it over to these two Velociraptors. Let them become the "Plane Guardians" of Blue Star.

However, these two fellows are a bit too weak; I must find a way to help them become deities.

Soon, Fang Yun used the Coiling Dragon knowledge in his mind to create several special contracts; refining these contracts would allow one to activate the Magic Teleportation Array.

Furthermore, when these contracts were generated, they were divided into two types: one for Blue Star and one for Yulan Continent.

Activating it from the Blue Star side consumes no energy, but activating the teleportation array from the Yulan Continent side requires a certain amount of energy.

This activation method and mode are almost identical to the situation between the Material Plane and the Divine Plane in the Coiling Dragon World.

In other words, it is not difficult for Blue Star lifeforms to travel to the Yulan Continent, but returning from the Yulan Continent is not an easy task.

Fang Yun pondered for a moment, then took out the two contracts for the Yulan Continent and went directly to the Magic Teleportation Array.

He threw the contracts onto the teleportation array, and with a thought, the contracts vanished.

Fang Yun looked at the two Velociraptors, which were acting like docile kittens.

Isolating the surroundings with his divine sense, the two contracts landed in front of the Velociraptors.

Fang Yun said directly, "From today on, you are the Teleportation Array Guardians. Refine these contracts, and you will gain the ability to activate the teleportation array."

Fang Yun taught the two Velociraptors the method for activating the teleportation array.

"Woo~"

The two Velociraptors let out soft cries.

Following that, each of the two Velociraptors swallowed the contract in front of them in one gulp.

Before the two Velociraptors could even sense their own condition, a massive surge of energy erupted from the contracts.

The spikes on the bodies of the two Velociraptors suddenly began to change, visibly growing longer, and their physical forms also began to alter.

The Velociraptors, which were originally two or three stories tall, grew to the height of four or five stories within a few breaths, their bodies doubling in size.

The aura emanating from the two Velociraptors also underwent a tremendous change.

The originally seventh-rank Velociraptors leaped directly into the Saint-level.

Even Fang Yun himself had not expected such a change to occur.

In the Coiling Dragon World, increasing one's strength is extremely difficult; apart from the Netherworld Fruit of Netherworld Mountain, he had never heard of anything that could directly boost one's power. Let alone jumping from the seventh rank directly to the Saint-level.

However, the contracts generated by the Coiling Dragon knowledge in his mind could actually increase strength?

It was inconceivable.

But considering that this Coiling Dragon knowledge could even manifest cultivation talent and even a Godhead, it was not entirely incomprehensible that it could generate contracts capable of increasing strength.

Reaching the Saint-level is fine; at least they have the strength to guard the teleportation array now.

Otherwise, if they only had seventh-rank strength, he would have to look after them occasionally, which would be too troublesome.

"Thank you, my lord!"

Feeling the change in their strength, the two Velociraptors could not help but be ecstatic, prostrating themselves on the ground one after another as they spoke.

These two Velociraptors were siblings, and after gaining the ability to speak, one was male and the other female.

Fang Yun nodded casually, "From now on, your duty is to guard the teleportation array."

"Yes, my lord."

The two Velociraptors were even more in awe of Fang Yun.

To be able to raise their strength to the Saint-level so casually—what kind of power was this?

The Saint-level beings on Blue Star were not even worth mentioning as ants in front of this lord.

Afterward, Fang Yun's figure vanished instantly.

The two Velociraptors were still unable to calm their emotions; after all, this was the Saint-level! The Velociraptor race had never had an existence capable of reaching the Saint-level.

"From now on, we must guard the teleportation array well for the lord!"

A look of determination appeared in the sister's eyes.

The brother agreed, but then added, "However, it is best if we do not expose our strength. If anyone wants to defy the lord's rules, it won't be too late to reveal our strength and teach them a lesson then."

The sister nodded, "Good."

Following that, the two Velociraptors shrank back to their previous size.

Saint-level lifeforms were already capable of changing their body size at will.

Outside the valley, the humans and Magic Beasts guarding the area did not notice the changes inside the valley at all.

Yulan Continent.

South Sea, teleportation array.

The moment the light lit up, Beirut noticed it.

However, what appeared this time was merely a scroll, which made Beirut even more curious.

After obtaining the scroll, Beirut could not help but be surprised, "Teleportation Array Control Scroll?"

This Magic Teleportation Array was actually the same as the ones used to travel from a Material Plane to a Divine Plane!

Planes created by Highgods could generally use a Godhead combined with a magic array to create simple teleportation channels, such as the one leading into the Necropolis of the Gods.

However, the teleportation arrays between Material Planes and Divine Planes were all established by the Overgods. Using them came with certain restrictions; one could only use them by refining a Contract Scroll (borrowing the setting for teleportation arrays from Chapter 7 of the previous book, no further explanation needed).

He had previously guessed that Blue Star might be a place similar to the Necropolis of the Gods, though he didn't know why it was connected to the Yulan Continent.

But if this Magic Teleportation Array was identical to the ones connecting Material Planes to Divine Planes, it meant this array had been established by a Overgod. Only a Overgod possessed such power.

Yet, if this array was established by a Overgod, then Blue Star could not be a place like the Necropolis of the Gods.

His previous guess might have been wrong.

Furthermore, there was one point that didn't make sense. The teleportation arrays established by Overgods required a scroll to activate, but the scroll was actually meant to trigger energy that only a Highgod could manipulate.

In other words, a Highgod could activate the teleportation array at will.

However, he was unable to activate this array, which showed that this array was significantly different from the others.

Could it be that if he wanted to activate this array, he also had to refine a scroll?

Beirut didn't dwell on it; he reached into the Necropolis of the Gods and pulled out a Mid-level God Gatekeeper.

"Lord Beirut!"

This Gatekeeper was a lion-headed man with fiery red curly hair. Seeing Beirut, his heart was filled with awe.

Beirut's power was deeply etched into their minds.

"Refine this scroll."

Beirut didn't waste words, directly taking out a Contract Scroll and speaking.

"Yes."

The lion-headed man had no intention of resisting.

It was too easy for Beirut to kill him; there was no need for any other methods.

As the lion-headed man refined the Contract Scroll, the expression on his face turned to one of surprise.

"How is it?"

Beirut watched the lion-headed man's reaction, his heart already accepting the function of the scroll.

The lion-headed man looked pleasantly surprised and hurriedly replied, "My Lord, this is a teleportation array Contract Scroll; it can control the activation of the teleportation array."

Although he received the information from the Contract Scroll, he still couldn't believe it in his heart.

After all, only Highgod armies and Plane Guardians possessed such abilities. Could it be that Lord Beirut intended to let him leave the Necropolis of the Gods to guard a plane teleportation array?

Beirut nodded, then said, "From today on, you are the guardian of this teleportation array."

Having said that, Beirut left immediately.

As for the other scroll, he prepared to try refining it himself. After all, although he wasn't worried about the appearance of this teleportation array, it was naturally best if it remained under his control.

After refining the scroll, Beirut discovered that even if he wanted to let the lives of the Yulan Continent travel to "Blue Star," it wasn't something that could be done at will. The teleportation array actually required the consumption of Inkstone, which was the power of Highgod Power.

Although the consumption was only one-billionth of that of a Divine Plane teleportation array, it was still not something the lives of the Yulan Continent could afford.

In other words, if he really wanted to let the lives of the Yulan Continent travel to Blue Star, only he could actively activate the teleportation array. The lion-headed man was essentially just a figurehead for now.

Unless he pre-stored some Highgod Power energy into the teleportation array.

However, these were not the main points; pre-storing energy wasn't a big deal, and this amount of consumption was absolutely no problem for him.

As long as the teleportation array could be activated and one could travel to the so-called "Blue Star," it was worth it.

Beirut's eyes brightened slightly.

Perhaps he could find a God-level expert to go over and take a look; perhaps he could learn something about the situation.

Although the Crimson Feather Golden Phoenix said that the strongest on Blue Star were only Saint-level, Beirut was a bit skeptical. It wasn't that he didn't believe the Crimson Feather Golden Phoenix, but rather that he believed she wasn't qualified to come into contact with God-level beings.

After all, the appearance of this teleportation array was too mysterious. How could Blue Star not have any experts?

Blue Star.

Fulong Valley.

By now, this small valley had become one of the most famous areas among the experts of Blue Star, so it naturally adopted the name Fulong Mountain.

Moreover, the two Velociraptors within it served to verify the name "Fulong."

Just as the human experts and Magic Beast experts were still preparing to select candidates to head to the magic array, the magic array suddenly lit up.

The two Velociraptors instantly looked at the magic array with vigilance.

As the guardians of the magic array, they were now extremely familiar with its status.

Someone was descending!

Sure enough, as the light appeared, a human figure emerged.

The light dissipated, revealing a long-haired youth with an eerie, bewitching face.

"So this is Blue Star?"

The eerie youth had just appeared when he noticed the two Velociraptors. "To think there are two Saint-level Velociraptors here, interesting!"

Even on the Yulan Continent, Velociraptors did not exist beyond the seventh rank.

"Who are you!"

The elder Velociraptor asked in a deep voice.

It felt immense pressure radiating from the stranger, and the fact that the man could discern their cultivation level with a single glance meant his strength naturally surpassed the Saint-level.

It never expected that in the world on the other side of the Magic Teleportation Array, there would actually be existences beyond the Saint-level!

"Me? Hehe."

The eerie youth chuckled, not answering directly, as his Divine Domain manifested instantly.

Under the pressure of the Divine Domain, the two Velociraptors were unable to stand, their expressions filled with extreme terror.

Facing a God-level powerhouse, even the most formidable Saint-level beings were utterly helpless.

However, in the very next instant, the eerie youth was forced to his knees, the overwhelming pressure making it impossible for him to even maintain his Divine Domain.

The youth's complexion changed instantly; he couldn't even manage to speak.

As for the two Velociraptors, they remained completely unaffected.

"It's the Lord!"

The younger Velociraptor hurriedly spoke.

Following this, both Velociraptors prostrated themselves on the ground.

Fang Yun appeared in mid-air, his entire form shrouded in a layer of radiance that obscured his features.

He didn't care what this eerie youth intended to do upon arriving at Blue Star, but since this was the first God-level being to cross over, it made him wonder if this reflected the attitude of Beirut.

Therefore, after this God-level being appeared, Fang Yun revealed himself as well.

"Is this how Beirut sent you here?"

Fang Yun's voice lacked any fluctuation, yet it sounded ethereal, as if it were echoing directly inside the youth's mind.

Hearing Fang Yun's words, sweat poured uncontrollably down the youth's forehead. He was no fool; this sudden pressure indicated that the owner of the voice was a terrifying existence!

Moreover, since this terrifying being knew the name of Lord Beirut, it was clear he did not fear him.

He truly had not expected to encounter such a terrifying existence the moment he arrived.

Just as the youth was about to reach his breaking point, the pressure suddenly dissipated.

However, the youth dared not stand up, remaining on his knees. He dared not harbor any resentment, filled instead with fear, and said, "Lord, please forgive me."

Fang Yun naturally wouldn't kill this fellow; after all, he was the first lifeform to arrive at Blue Star from the Yulan Continent. He was counting on learning about the situation on the Yulan Continent from him.

Furthermore, the fact that this guy could come over meant that Beirut had already become a Highgod; otherwise, no one on the Yulan Continent could have activated the teleportation array.

Soon, Fang Yun obtained the information he wanted from the youth, and it wasn't just about the state of the Yulan Continent.

He also learned that Beirut was very interested in Blue Star.

This point alone was enough to suggest that Beirut would not randomly slaughter the Blue Star lifeforms who descended upon the Yulan Continent.

Perhaps it was time for him to go and see the Yulan Continent for himself.

However, it would be best to blend in with a large group of people when heading over.

Once he improved his World Power and gained the qualification for manifestation, he would manifest his talent to become a god.

His true self would then return to Blue Star, as for him, the safest place remained Blue Star.

Perhaps this eerie youth could give the lifeforms of Blue Star a helping hand.

Soon, a super-powerhouse far exceeding the Saint-level appeared on Blue Star, single-handedly unifying half of the ocean regions.

One had to know that the ocean was the most dangerous area for those beyond the transcendent level; even if the three great empires joined forces, they could not occupy the ocean.

Yet this youth had done it alone.

For a time, even the strange phenomena at Fulong Mountain were overshadowed by this event.

However, it wasn't long before the origin of this eerie youth was suddenly exposed.

He was a powerhouse from Fulong Valley!

He had appeared from the magic array inside Fulong Valley, coming from a place called the Yulan Continent!

The shock caused by this news was self-evident.

Of course, this was also Fang Yun's arrangement; he needed this youth to spread the news of the Yulan Continent, otherwise, given the caution of these Blue Star lifeforms, who knew how long it would take for them to head there.

As long as the Blue Star lifeforms began traveling to the Yulan Continent in large numbers, as long as this youth didn't slaughter them at will, he wouldn't bother with him again.

Sure enough, as the youth "inadvertently" revealed the existence of the Yulan Continent and the "God-level," everyone could no longer sit still.

Only then did they confirm that the Crimson Feather Golden Phoenix hadn't disappeared, but had entered a new "world"! She had gone to the Yulan Continent.

This magic array was like a "gateway."

It was a door that could lead to the Yulan Continent!

Thus, the human powerhouses and the strong among the Magic Beasts began to head to the Yulan plane in large numbers by tacit agreement.

As for Fang Yun, he secretly followed the latest group.

As the Magic Teleportation Array lit up with light.

Fang Yun arrived on the Yulan Continent.
