"That's right, it was so hard to reach the Highgod realm, I definitely need to relax properly."

"Then let's return to the Rayast Continent. There are still several decades until the next Plane Guardian arrives, so it's the perfect time for me to go back and handle family affairs."

"That works. I was planning to visit the Rayast Continent before I left anyway. Haha, I feel like I haven't been there in ages."

"Haha, you certainly are a carefree Plane Guardian. Let's set off now, then."

After speaking, the two of them tidied up briefly and flew toward the Rayast Continent.

"Simon, how about we have a speed race? Let's see if your Wind Profound Truth is faster or my Fire Profound Mystery of Explosion is."

Fanny said cheerfully.

"Sure, I'm curious too. Let's race."

With that, the two of them pushed their speed to the limit. Of course, Simon only used his Wind Divine Power and did not use his fused divine power.

One could see Simon surrounded by pale cyan divine power, his figure like a phantom, streaking toward the distance at extreme speed. His velocity far exceeded the limit he had as a Lowgod.

"As expected, a perfected Profound Truth of Speed is synonymous with speed itself."

Meanwhile, Fanny was enveloped in a dazzling, fiery red light. Her entire body instantly transformed into fire elements, flashing and disappearing into the distance, only to reappear as fire elements again as she continued to blink forward.

At first, the two were neck and neck, with Simon even holding a slight lead. But Fanny was a Highgod after all, and she had fused the Profound Mystery of Fire Element with the Profound Mystery of Explosion; she was highly skilled at explosive speed. As she blinked several times in succession, she gradually left Simon behind.

"Truly worthy of the Law of Fire. It excels in both explosive attack power and explosive speed. Unlike the Wind Profound Truth, which unleashes its maximum speed the moment it is activated—starting at its fastest and maintaining that pace—the fire element can continuously burst and accelerate."

Simon watched the fiery red blur flashing rapidly ahead and sighed with emotion.

However, as the continuous, extreme bursts persisted, Fanny's speed gradually slowed down.

She returned to a speed comparable to Simon's, but after a short moment, Fanny began to burst forward again, once more pulling away from Simon with a series of blinks.

"It seems that while the fire element has strong explosive power, it requires brief pauses. Every law truly has its own characteristics."

Just like that, in a game of cat and mouse, it didn't take long before the coastline of the Rayast Continent appeared before them.

Simon had originally thought about visiting Loya, but he figured he would be passing through again in a few decades anyway, so he decided to visit and say goodbye next time.

"Haha, Simon, it looks like I'm still faster~"

Fanny, who had reached the continent first, said triumphantly.

"I concede. The fire element is indeed very strong in terms of speed. But once my wind element reaches the Highgod realm, Fanny, you won't be able to catch me."

Simon landed afterward. The wind element was indeed a law that excelled at speed; even though he was only at the Midgod realm and using Midgod wind divine power, his extreme speed at full burst was only slightly slower than a fire-element Highgod who had fused two profound mysteries.

"That's right, I, Fanny, am a genius of my family~. With just a little effort, I can easily suppress you, a mere Midgod."

Fanny, having been praised, felt like she was floating on air and couldn't help but start bragging again...

However, Fanny's cultivation talent was indeed not bad. In the Coiling Dragon World, where one could live forever in the Saint Realm, time was the least valuable thing.

Reaching the Highgod realm in a million years and fusing two profound mysteries—especially when one of them was the Profound Mystery of Explosion—without having experienced any intense life-or-death battles, such talent was actually quite impressive.

Although Simon lost this speed test, he was still very satisfied.

After all, he hadn't even used his fused divine power. Once he did, his speed would surge by at least three times, far exceeding Fanny's current limit.

After comparing them in his mind, Simon had a clearer understanding of his own speed.

Once on land, the two no longer traveled at full speed, heading toward the Gale Empire at a leisurely pace.

Even at a normal speed, Simon brought Fanny to his family's ancestral home a few hours later.

Since it was currently summer and not the annual Wind God Festival, the ancestral home seemed a bit quiet, with only family patrols wandering about.

"Simon, your family home is quite large, and the design is quite nice."

Fanny seemed very satisfied with the layout and design of Simon's family estate.

"Haha, is that so? I think the Patriarch hired the best designer in the empire for it. I don't really understand these things."

Simon laughed it off. He truly didn't understand or care much for such things; in his view, only one's own strength was the most important.

As long as external conditions were passable, that was enough.

As Simon spread his divine sense, he found Patriarch Solo and the Second Elder Garrod in the family council hall.

So, Simon led Fanny toward the council hall.

"Patriarch, Elder, I'm back."

Simon said loudly.

After more than a hundred years, Patriarch Solo and Elder Garrod had barely changed.

The two, who had been discussing something, stopped immediately upon hearing Simon's voice. After exchanging a glance, they both revealed expressions of pleasant surprise. Patriarch Solo excitedly stepped forward and hugged Simon.

"Haha, Simon, you're finally back. We've all missed you so much."

"I've missed you all too, Patriarch. Has the family encountered any major events over the past hundred years?"

"Nothing major. With His Majesty Edward overseeing things, and the divine sword you gave us earlier, the family has always been safe. By the way, who is this lady next to you, Simon?"

Only then did Solo notice Fanny standing beside Simon.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you. These are my friends I met while traveling: Fanny and Grayson."

"Oh, it's Fanny. On behalf of the Herbert Family, I extend a warm welcome to you," Solo said happily as he looked at the lovely Fanny.

Since Simon had befriended her, and he himself couldn't perceive even a trace of her aura, this seemingly young girl was likely someone who had surpassed the Saint Realm.

She is likely a god!

Solo was startled as this realization hit him, but he immediately reasoned that since Simon was also a god, it was perfectly normal for gods to be friends with one another, so he calmed down.

Poor Solo; he could never have imagined in his wildest dreams that this harmless-looking, beautiful girl was actually their Plane Guardian. Of course, this was also because Fanny hadn't appeared on the Rayast Continent for over a hundred thousand years.

"Simon has been obsessed with cultivation since he was a child and hasn't had many friends. Fanny, please treat this place as your own home. If you need anything, just say so; don't be reserved."

After inviting the two to sit, Solo said generously.

"Alright, Patriarch Solo, I won't stand on ceremony," Fanny replied.

"Patriarch, are my parents doing well? Have they managed to reach the Saint Realm?" Simon finally asked the question he cared about most.

"Darren and Iseline? They are both doing well, but it is a pity that they are both still at the ninth rank and haven't broken through to the Saint Realm."

As expected, for ordinary people, the Saint Realm was not so easy to reach.

Fortunately, he had met Fanny and was lucky enough to receive treasures from her that assisted in cultivation.

"I see. Then I'll have to trouble you, Patriarch, to send someone to notify my parents to return to the family. I have a surprise for everyone."

Seeing how formal Simon was, Solo didn't ask what the surprise was. Having led the family for so many years, he possessed at least that much composure. He immediately sent someone to fetch the family's messenger magic eagle and personally wrote a letter to be delivered by this ninth-rank Wind-Splitting Eagle.

"This ninth-rank Wind-Splitting Eagle will deliver the letter in half a day. I will have Darren and the others rush back at their fastest speed once they see this letter. They should be able to return to the family in three days."

"Sorry for the trouble, Patriarch."

"What trouble? It's just a small matter."

Afterward, Solo brought out the highest family standards to settle Fanny in and arranged a banquet.

"Simon, over the past hundred years, the family's territory has expanded by another two provinces. Now, all the habitable land in the north of the Gale Empire is under the jurisdiction of our Herbert Family. You returned at just the right time; after His Majesty Edward came out of seclusion last time and learned that you had become a god, he wanted to see you for a long time. Unfortunately, not long after he finished his seclusion, he went back into it. Who knows when you'll be able to see him."

"The family's territory has increased again? That's a good thing. His Majesty Edward is in seclusion again? That is indeed unfortunate."

Simon replied casually. With his current strength, which was comparable to a Five-Star Fiend, he no longer took these trivial matters of the material plane to heart.

After chatting for a while longer, Simon took Fanny to the place where she would be staying—an elegant and quiet small courtyard. The layout and decoration were of the highest standard in the family, and it was right next to the courtyard where Simon used to live.

"Leading a family is truly not easy," Fanny sighed. "My grandfather is also a patriarch. I used to think he was too strict with me, but now that I think about it, it's truly amazing that he could lead our family to stand tall in Hell for hundreds of millions of years."

Especially since Fanny had witnessed the rise and fall of countless empires and families over the past million years, she felt this even more deeply. Now, seeing Simon's patriarch worrying about the family's affairs, she couldn't help but feel moved.

"The patriarch is indeed not easy. I admire him for maintaining such a large family and keeping it thriving," Simon said sincerely. This was the reason why, even though his strength far exceeded the patriarch's, he still respected him so much.

If Solo hadn't been supporting the family all this time, Simon wouldn't have grown so smoothly.

That was why Simon felt such deep affection for his family.

The deeply rooted concept of family was one of the major characteristics of the Coiling Dragon World.

In this dangerous world, only by gathering the strength of the entire family could one overcome many crises and grow stronger.

Simon and Fanny chatted idly like this until evening, when Simon took Fanny to the banquet. The family had put a lot of effort into the arrangements, making it both grand and exquisite.

Everyone in the family was happy to know that Simon had returned, and the banquet lasted until late at night before dispersing.

If Solo was the sky of the Herbert Family now, then Simon was the spiritual pillar of the entire family.

Now that everyone in the family knew Simon had become a god, it greatly encouraged them and filled them with confidence, making them feel they were no longer inferior to the royal family. The younger generation was even more motivated to cultivate.

After sending Fanny back to her courtyard, Simon went to Solo's study. Seeing that the other two elders were also there, he got straight to the point and took out the Thunder Godhead.

"I obtained this when I was passing through the Lania Mountain Range. I fought the Magic Beast king there and killed it. It is a thunder-attribute godhead. This godhead is useless to me, so I will leave it to the patriarch to distribute."

Seeing Simon take out a godhead so casually, Solo could no longer maintain his composure.

This was a godhead—a treasure that countless Saint Realm experts dreamed of. Now, it had appeared before him just like that, and he was even given the authority to distribute it.

Garrod and Sanders, who were standing nearby, were also stunned. Over a hundred years had passed, and their strength hadn't improved much, let alone becoming gods.

"This is too precious, Simon. Even if you have become a god, your Saint Realm original body could still use it. The family cannot accept this."

Patriarch Solo waved his hand, still thinking of Simon's interests.

"Haha, Patriarch, do not decline. I have already broken through to the level of a Midgod, and I do not wish to use a godhead."

Hearing that Simon had broken through again, the three of them were so shocked they couldn't speak.

It took a long time for Solo to calm his emotions.

"Hahaha, good! Good! Good!"

"Simon, you are truly the most talented person in the history of our family. With this level of talent, even in the history of the entire plane, you are likely among the most gifted."

Patriarch Solo felt that this was the happiest moment of his life.
