The {Spirit Dragon Brood Bug} suddenly received a strange signal, one it had recorded before.
When the connection opened, Zhang Fan's eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "Dumite? You're not dead?"
Dumite was still decked out in jewels, and the Orland Race catgirl patrol captain stood beside him.
"Overlord, we meet again. What brings you to the Vitter Universe?"
Zhang Fan laughed. "Hahaha, shouldn't I be asking you that? You know, when you turned to dust, I grieved for quite a while."
Dumite looked dejected. "I thought we'd finally been freed too. But we never expected to come back to life in New Orland, and we're still immortal..."
Zhang Fan smiled at Sophia beside him. "They're the only race I've ever met that possesses immortality but hates it."
Dumite bowed to Zhang Fan. "You're welcome to visit New Orland, Overlord. While you're here... perhaps you could see if you can break the seal again."
Zhang Fan asked curiously, "Wasn't the Key to the Seal already undone? Surely there can't be another one."
Dumite looked helpless. "Ah... it's a long story."
Zhang Fan once again saw the familiar yet unfamiliar metal pyramid that served as the Hyperspace Transmitter. When he met Dumite in person again, Dumite was already sobbing too hard to speak clearly. "Overlord, you've finally come. We've been waiting for you."
Zhang Fan said in surprise, "Why do you make it sound like you've been waiting ages? It's only been a few hundred years since we last met."
Dumite exclaimed, "It's been hundreds of thousands of years!"
Only then did Zhang Fan remember that this was the Vitter Universe. A few hundred years in the Erl Universe amounted to hundreds of thousands of years here.
Zhang Fan smiled. "But you seem to be doing pretty well this time."
