Simon agreed with a smile, though he still tactfully advised Anthony that it would be best to wait until he had the strength of a Midgod before going. Seeing that Simon was being very serious, Anthony took his words to heart.

Loya was much more composed, but the speed at which Simon had broken through to Midgod still exceeded his expectations. Upon learning that Simon intended to go to Hell, he felt it was only natural. After the two shared a small gathering, they agreed to meet again in Hell in the future.

As for treasures like the Soul Golden Bead, Simon chose not to give them to Anthony or Loya, as he did not want to test human nature, nor did he want to leave behind hidden dangers for the Herbert Family after his departure.

Moreover, given the strength of Anthony and the others, if they never achieved a major breakthrough, staying in the material plane to live out their days would be quite fine.

Having handled all matters, both big and small, Simon left the Rayast Continent with Fanny, free of any lingering attachments.

Fanny, who had been quiet and well-behaved the entire time, spoke up at this moment.

"Simon, if you want to stay a little longer, that's perfectly fine. We can go to Hell later."

Perhaps the attentive Fanny had noticed Simon's low spirits and specifically spoke up to comfort him.

"It's alright, Fanny. It's just that since we are leaving so suddenly, it's inevitable to feel a bit down for a moment. Now that everything that needed to be handled has been handled, and everything that needed to be left behind has been left, it is time for me to leave and begin the next leg of my journey."

Simon's eyes were firm; even if there were thousands of hardships ahead, he would never be content if he didn't go and experience them for himself.

Furthermore, Simon's heart was yearning for a larger world and a grander stage.

Constantly breaking through his own limits amidst passionate battles and climbing to the peak of cultivation was Simon's greatest pursuit.

Soon, the two returned to the small island where the teleportation array was located. Since the successor Plane Guardian had not yet arrived, the two simply returned to their residence and stayed there, waiting quietly.

In the blink of an eye, half a year passed. Suddenly, one day, the teleportation array representing Hell lit up.

A man dressed in luxurious robes stepped out. The man's attire was opulent and his bearing was extraordinary; one look was enough to tell he came from a great family.

At this moment, Fanny and Simon also walked out of the house. Seeing Fanny appear, the man in the luxurious robes immediately bowed and saluted.

"Greetings, Miss Fanny. The family sent me to take over; you may return to the family now. Currently, there are family members stationed around each of the seven teleportation arrays in Hell to receive you. Please convey my greetings to the Patriarch on my behalf."

"So it was you, Walter, who came to replace me. Don't worry, I will convey your greetings when I see Grandpa."

Fanny said happily, then turned to look at Simon.

"Let's go, Simon. We can finally go to Hell."

Simon nodded with a smile upon hearing this, then gave a polite nod to Walter before he and Fanny stepped onto the teleportation array leading to Hell.

Although Walter was curious about the relationship between Simon and Fanny, as a member of a branch family, he dared not ask casually. Seeing that Simon was graceful and had an extraordinary temperament, he also nodded back at Simon in a friendly manner.

Immediately, Walter, who had just arrived to take over, prepared to activate the teleportation array. At this moment, Fanny suddenly said, "Walter, remember to look after the Herbert Family on this material plane, the Rayast Continent. If you do a good job, I will have a reward for you when I return from Hell next time."

Although he found Fanny's request strange, Walter still nodded solemnly and said, "Rest assured, Miss Fanny, I will certainly do so."

If he didn't do a good job and was caught by Fanny when she came back to visit, he would be in for a world of trouble. He might even end up stuck as this Plane Guardian until he died, and he still wanted to go back after finishing this term.

After all, for the descendants of these great families in Hell, traveling to various material planes when bored was a very common occurrence. The expensive teleportation fees that others worried about were just pocket change to them.

Having received a positive reply, Fanny nodded in satisfaction and then signaled for Walter to activate the teleportation array.

As a beam of light shone, Simon and Fanny disappeared from the Rayast Plane.

When they appeared again, they had already arrived in Hell.

Chapter 29: Kaluosha Continent

On the Kaluosha Continent, at the peak of Delamont Mountain, by the plane teleportation array, a beam of light lit up.

"Big Brother, someone else has come to Hell, and it looks like one of them is a Highgod!" a bald youth wearing ink-colored standard armor shouted.

"People come every single day. It's just a Highgod; it's not like we haven't seen one before. Why are you making such a fuss?"

The cold-looking youth who appeared to be the captain replied.

But as the light dissipated and the figures of a man and a woman appeared, this captain could no longer maintain his aloofness, turning instead to a look of respect.

"Respected Miss Fanny, welcome back to Hell!"

"Whew~ finally back."

Fanny scanned the people before her.

"If I remember correctly, you are Lumis, right? Where is this in Hell? Why does it feel like I've never been here before?"

"Replying to Miss, this is Delamont Mountain at the northern end of the Kaluosha Continent. It is very far from our family's main base on the Bifu Continent, separated by almost the entire Starry Fog Sea."

Lumis replied respectfully.

"What bad luck, to have teleported here. Forget it, I don't feel like teleporting back and forth anyway. It just so happens I'm going back to the family later."

Fanny pouted, clearly not expecting her luck to be so poor.

"So this is Hell. Such clear fluctuations of the laws, such powerful elemental energy. The suppression on spiritual power is also so strong—it's at least tens of thousands of times stronger than the material plane."

Having just arrived in Hell, Simon appeared very intrigued, looking around with curiosity.

"That's right. The restrictive force of Hell far exceeds that of the material plane. Here, a Saint Realm expert can just barely survive, only a Lowgod can be considered a person, a Midgod can barely be considered a normal person, and a Highgod can get by quite well."

Fanny explained.

"The legendary Hell is truly cruel."

Simon looked at a group of strange-looking creatures shivering not far away. On the ground, there were also dried bloodstains, likely left behind by some disobedient fellow.

More than half of this group were Saint Realm, and there were a few Lowgods among them, but not a single one above the level of Midgod. Clearly, they had just been teleported from their respective material planes.

"Miss Fanny and this friend, please wait in the palace nearby. My divine clone has already notified the experts from the family waiting here, and they will be able to arrive to pick you up by tomorrow morning."

Lumis said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Fanny nodded.

"Let's go, Simon, we'll wait for them in the palace next door."

After speaking, the two of them, led by Lumis and under the envious gazes of the crowd, entered the exceptionally luxurious palace.

"I didn't expect your family to have people stationed at every teleportation array waiting for you, Fanny. Your family's strength is truly astonishing."

Simon sighed with emotion.

On the way here, Fanny had filled Simon in on some common knowledge about Hell, including the geographical layout of Hell, the distribution of cities across the various continents, and the famous major factions.

Although Simon already knew much of this, he still pretended to be a novice and listened attentively.

"I didn't expect the family to take this so seriously either. They actually don't believe I can make it back on my own, hmph!"

Fanny was happy that her family was so thoughtful, but she was also annoyed and embarrassed that they didn't trust her strength.

"Hell is still too dangerous, after all. Your family doing this is also for your own safety."

Simon sat on a stone chair carved from a solid piece of Cyan Nightmare Stone and said to Fanny.

"Hmph~ even if they didn't send anyone, I could still take you across the Starry Fog Sea and back to the family, believe it or not, Simon?"

"Haha, of course I believe you."

Simon replied, suppressing a smile.

Although the strength of a Five-Star Fiend was decent, it was still not quite enough to cross the Starry Fog Sea.

Of course, Fanny was very wealthy; once they reached a city, she could hire some powerful Fiends as guards, which would make the chances of returning safely much higher.

Seeing that Simon's words were insincere and that he clearly didn't believe her, Fanny puffed out her chest.

"Since you don't believe in my strength, I, Fanny, am going to go back on my own!"

"Simon, do you dare to roam this boundless Hell with me?"

Seeing Fanny, who had suddenly turned serious and looked a bit childish, Simon also put away his smile.

"Why wouldn't I dare? I'd like to see just how dangerous this Hell really is."

Just kidding—with Simon's perfected Speed Profound Truth, running away if he couldn't win wouldn't be a problem. Plus, with his various trump cards, if anyone underestimated him just because he appeared to be a Midgod, they would be in for a painful lesson.

Seeing Simon answer without a hint of fear, Fanny felt embarrassed instead.

She was fine; she had many treasures given to her by the Grayson Family and could ensure her own safety. But in her eyes, Simon was just a fast Midgod, and it would be very dangerous if he were to be surrounded.

Although Fanny liked to act tough, she didn't want Simon to fall into danger.

If he really followed her to roam about, in such a dangerous place as Hell, even with the help of her many treasures, it would be bad if something were to go wrong.

"Oh, Simon, I was just bragging earlier. Let me reconsider; Hell is really very dangerous."

Fanny stuck out her little tongue and said sheepishly.

"Actually, I really do want to roam Hell with just the two of us. Even if you hadn't brought it up, I would have suggested it to you later. Since we've already come to Hell, why be so timid? If we rely on others for everything, we might as well just stay in a material plane and retire."

Simon looked at Fanny and said.

Looking at Simon's firm gaze, Fanny's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and her pretty face turned red instantly. She then thought of the many treasures the Grayson Family had given her, especially the legendary Sovereign's Might, of which she had been given two drops!

Relying on these two drops of Sovereign's Might, Fanny was absolutely certain she could protect both herself and Simon. Even if the Sovereign's Might were eventually exhausted, she could just find a city and spend some money to hire a group of powerful Fiends as bodyguards.

Feeling that she had thought it through thoroughly, Fanny replied, "Then it's decided. We won't wait for the family's people; we'll rely on ourselves!"

Fanny waved her little hand firmly and then stood up.

Simon stood up as well. The two exchanged a glance and then left the palace.

"Lumis, I've decided not to wait for the family's people. I have already reached the Highgod realm and successfully fused two profound mysteries. With my many treasures, I have enough strength to protect myself. You can report to the family that I am going back on my own strength!"

After speaking, ignoring Lumis's attempts to dissuade her, Fanny released a flower-shaped metal lifeform from her interspatial ring, called for Simon, and flew toward the nearest city.

Watching the two of them leave, Lumis sighed.

"Sigh, Miss Fanny is still so willful. This mission can be considered a failure."

Lumis then contacted his divine clone that was rushing over and relayed the news that Fanny had left alone with a strange Midgod to the expert coming to meet her.

This expert was a guest elder of the Grayson Family, a long-renowned Seven-Star Fiend, accompanied by a squad of Highgods sent by the Grayson Family.

With such strength, they were fully capable of taking Fanny across the Starry Fog Sea and back to the Bifu Continent.

But now, the leader, the Seven-Star Fiend House, frowned upon hearing that Fanny had already left.

"I have waited here for a hundred years according to Lord Grayson's instructions. Now that Miss Fanny herself has ignored the family's arrangements, she cannot blame me."

The burly House said.

As for Simon, the Midgod, he was automatically ignored.

"Yes, Lord House. I will prove it to the family. Should we return directly now, or pursue Miss Fanny and the others?"
