The supreme element of the time attribute was abundant in the Time Void, where every River of Time flowed. To connect her mother with the Time Void, Tania moved closer and placed her hand on her mother’s head. Channeling the primordial energy into her hand, she allowed it to spread throughout her mother’s body, and started triggering her bloodline. It was the primordial energy of Time that directly strengthened her ability. The light golden glow, a manifestation of her mother’s ability to manipulate time, suddenly transformed into a vibrant blue, glowing with intensity. With this primordial energy coursing through her, her mother could easily absorb the Supreme element of the time attribute directly from the Time Void.
As the connection between her mother and the River of Time strengthened, cracks began to appear in the space around her, forming a tunnel directly to the Time Void. Waves, reminiscent of a river, started to form in space due to the influence of the River of Time, and with the help of the primordial energy, the blue glow manifested in a solid state, flowing out like flames to merge directly with the River of Time. Once the merging was complete, the space tunnel vanished, leaving only a strong connection behind.
“Now I just have to wait for time to pass,” Tania thought. She then checked the condition of her father. His transformation didn’t require her intervention, as it was already nearing completion due to the condensed immortal energy he was absorbing from the immortal energy liquid. The immortal energy surrounding him was converted into five basic elements as soon as it touched his body and was absorbed immediately, transforming into various types of Supreme elements. Her father had a strong connection with these basic elements, and she couldn’t predict which Supreme elements he would ultimately acquire with his immortal body.
The special beasts residing in the forest surrounding the bamboo house were also mutating due to the influence of the immortal energy stone that served as the foundation of this space. These beasts had a strong connection with her parents for some reason. Although she didn’t inquire about it, Tania knew they also would have freed these beasts from the space if they ever escaped, given their bond. However, she couldn’t quite grasp the nature of this connection, so she chose not to dwell on it.
Tania smirked as a devilish idea formed in her mind. She wanted to take this entire dimensional space with her, as she didn’t want to wait while the transformations were ongoing and also wished to create some trouble for the humans outside. This way, she could preserve everything inside it. Although she could have sped up time to complete their transformations instantly, her mother was linked to the River of Time, and her ability would weaken if she interfered with the flow of time. Instead, she decided to store this dimensional space within her inner world and let her parents live inside there.
Tania looked outside the bamboo house through her soul sense and spoke to herself,
“I wanted to give them a chance for revenge, but now isn’t the time. I have a fate of returning to this secret realm in the future with Anna, so I’ll have to delay it, they will get there chance in the future. And there’s also that thing waiting for her here.” Tania truly wanted to destroy this realm, but she wasn’t easily swayed by emotions like Anna. So, she proceeded to store the dimensional space within her inner world.
With a plan in mind, Tania tore through the space and entered the void outside the dimensional space. Transforming into her true Primordial Phoenix form, as the blue Nirvana flames surrounding her began to burn the fabric of the void around her. She flew to the intersection between the dimensional space and the secret realm. While it was possible to absorb this secret dimension directly, doing so would harm the creatures inside it. Therefore, she had to proceed in her true form, which would allow her to integrate it safely.

There was a link connecting the dimensional space and the secret realm. If she could sever this link and connect it to her inner world, her inner world would eventually absorb the dimensional space without damaging it. With a swipe of her sharp talon, she severed the link and grasped the edge of the dimensional space with her claws, opening a gateway to her inner world. The opening of her inner world swallowed the dimensional space entirely, integrating it as a new continent within her realm. Now her parents could complete their transformations safely.
Transforming back, Tania traveled to the place where the core of the secret realm was, by crossing the spatial crack that had been created on it by immortal weapon. The core looked the same as she had left it, but now, instead of the dimensional space, there was an infinite void beyond the crack. “Should I also close this crack?” she pondered playfully. The humans of the secret realm would surely be anxious upon seeing the crack closed. She knew they couldn’t use immortal weapons repeatedly to create spatial cracks, and even if they did, only a void awaited them on the other side.
With a wave of her hand, she dissipated the destructive energy of the immortal weapon that had been preventing the space from healing, allowing it to close itself. With everything accomplished that she had set out to do, Tania found herself missing Anna. She had been away for a few days, and the preparations for the Black Market Auction must have been completed. Anna would have already finished her capital tour, as she was really excited about it.
She felt a pang in her heart for having rejected Anna's request to explore the capital together, but repaying her debt was also important so she had to do it. “I should compensate Anna by taking her to some fun and interesting places,” she decided, a small smile forming on her face. But first she will tease Anna by saying that she left her alone and went alone to this interesting secret realm adventure alone. Speaking of debts, she had much to repay Anna for all that she had done for her. Only another primordial being could evoke such emotions in her; like Anna, she couldn’t see anyone else as her equal unless they were equally or more powerful. Only the strong were respected in this world. Perhaps that was why she felt no emotions when seeing her parents. Tania resolved to deepen her relationship with her only equal, Anna, to cultivate more emotions and to connect more easily with her parents in future.
Snapping back to reality, she looked around once more and decided to collect some small items here and there within the secret realm. These items would come in handy for trading at the Black Market Auction. The countries of the Apple continent will go crazy for the things present here. She gathered many different types of herbs around the core, along with various weapons and treasures scattered throughout the secret realm. Tania only selected things she deemed suitable for trade in the Apple Continent, leaving everything else behind, even then they were top treasures for them.
Tania then went to the thing which called for her when she first came and spoke to it " I will take you out with me when I came back here in the future. " hearing her words, the calling intensified for a second and died down completely indicating its farewell.
Then she returned to the man-eating forest, drawn back to the psychedelic, man-eating fruit trees she had encountered earlier. Collecting many of the psychedelic and hallucination fruits, she smirked while holding them. “These fruits are good and Maybe they will be useful for something interesting.”
With that, Tania exited the secret realm, bypassing the outer barrier without damaging it. Without delay, she began her journey back to the Apple Continent through the void. Once again traversing many seas and continents, she reached the Apple Continent in no time and headed directly to the Dragon Kingdom.
