Time flew by. After Fang Yu had remained quiet for roughly half a month, another familiar figure arrived. This visitor truly surprised Fang Yu—it was none other than Her Majesty the Empress.
"Your Majesty, forgive me for failing to welcome you from afar. But shouldn't Your Majesty be doing everything possible to break through to the Divine Realm right now? No, that's not quite right. Since you have yet to pass the final trial, Your Majesty should be unable to reach that stage. Besides, the one who came this time is merely one of Your Majesty's avatars—one could even say it is only a thought, not Your Majesty's true body. So, what instructions does Your Majesty have for coming here this time?"
Fang Yu's words made the Empress furrow her delicate brows.
"You should know why I have come. But I know you are unwilling to leave. Would you be willing, then, to stay with me instead? Going to my place would be tens of millions of times better than remaining here. You should be perfectly aware of that, without needing me to remind you."
Her words were not gentle in the slightest, but full of majesty.
"Of course I know that perfectly well, but I do not wish to cultivate at Your Majesty's place right now. Cultivating there is hardly a good option. It may look harmless, but who knows what kind of medicine you might feed me? What if something happens to me there? As for entering the Heavenly Wheel Seal, that is even more impossible. That place is not suitable for someone at my current realm. It may seem to accelerate my cultivation, but the toll it takes on my lifespan is tremendous. I have no desire to cultivate there. So, Your Majesty, please leave as soon
