The news of Eirik's chaos in the Forbidden Zone and Pixie transforming into a pure elemental being quickly spread to the Institute of Primeval Magic, and soon, the entire continent was buzzing with the details.
At this point, those who had previously opposed Pip fell utterly silent.
The son of the Archmage—truly formidable! Even someone cursed with Pip's condition was healed.
Many had once claimed that Pixie’s physique was unsuitable, that her potential was lacking and she was unworthy of the Archmage’s son.
Yet, in a stunning turn of events, she had ventured into the Forbidden Zone, captured five Grandmaster-level practitioners, and had them modify her body.
Such a bold and audacious move had sent shockwaves through the world.
In every corner of the continent, it was the talk of the town!
Which girl wouldn’t envy Pixie at this point?!
Upon her return, the Institute of Primeval Magic, eager to repair relations, demoted all those who had slandered her. Some of the more serious offenders were even expelled from the academy.
As for Pixie, her status soared.
Once considered the weakest of the five student council presidents, she now stood as the undisputed leader of the student body, a candidate for the next head of the academy.
“The potential of my wife is finally up to par. Now, it’s time to put in the hard work, learn magic, and make the most of this talent.”
Eirik had no intention of dragging things out any longer.
It was time to ascend to the Archmage level!
So, both he and Pixie retreated into seclusion.
Of course, it wasn’t pure isolation.
As the son of the Archmage and president of the student council, Eirik and Pixie often received first-hand information about treasures and hidden secrets. They frequently ventured out to compete for these treasures.
Pixie, meanwhile, was often placed in illusionary realms by Eirik to hone her combat skills.
At first, she struggled to adjust, but soon, she became accustomed to the intense training, forging herself into a formidable fighter.
The once timid "little bitch" had, against all odds, cultivated a faint air of authority.
Of course, that was only in front of others. Before Eirik, she was still the cute and pampered little wife.
In no time, Pixie's progress was astounding. She quickly reached the Savant level, and then continued to climb, all the way to Grandmaster, and then Grandmaster Lv3!
“I’m already at Grandmaster Lv3?! That was fast!”
Pixie couldn’t believe how quickly she had advanced. It felt as if she were following in Eirik’s footsteps, clutching onto the leg of an elixir master as her cultivation soared to new heights.
Meanwhile, Fennec once again held a funeral for her sister in the life simulation game.

“Wow, sis, this is my funeral? The artwork is amazing!”
In the real world, Fiona was admiring the original artwork of her own funeral.
In this life, she had lived for over a thousand years, a remarkable feat.
“Fiona…”
Fennec embraced her sister, and Fiona’s fluffy fox tail brushed against her thigh as she cuddled closer. Fiona seemed to be in good spirits.
The two sisters lay together in the same bed, playing the life simulation game.
Though Fiona had initially been upset at her sister for being such an idiot, after Fennec came to play the game with her, the anger quickly faded.
The game was just that fun!
Especially when the two of them played together, calculating their futures and even “bullying” others in the game. It made Fiona very happy.
“Don’t worry, Fiona. I’ve already found a way to cure your body. There’s a place called the Immortal Mountain, where a spring known as the Eternal Spring can completely heal you. I’m going to the Forbidden Zone to find a way to get it. Once we do, we’ll both be able to study magic and grow stronger together!”
“Mm, I believe in you, sis!”
Fiona replied obediently, snuggling her ear against Fennec’s white neck and rubbing it affectionately.
Fennec, ticklish, couldn’t stop laughing, her stern expression breaking into a smile.
As Fiona teased her sister, her mind began to wander.
The Immortal Mountain!
That was also a Forbidden Zone!
To retrieve the so-called Eternal Spring from there would not be an easy feat.
Even with the simulation, success was far from guaranteed.
There were three major Forbidden Zones in the central continent: the Reincarnation Sea, the Immortal Mountain, and the Ancient Forbidden Zone.
The Immortal Mountain was just as dangerous as the Ancient Forbidden Zone or the Reincarnation Sea!
Although Eirik could freely enter the Ancient Forbidden Zone, even disturbing the Archmages in their slumber, it was only because of his status as the Archmage’s son.
For Fennec, the Immortal Mountain would be a perilous place—one where even survival was uncertain.
Could Eirik truly navigate the Immortal Mountain with ease?
He probably could.
Even if he couldn’t handle it at lower levels, after reaching Grandmaster Lv3, wouldn’t he have the ability to traverse such dangerous places?
Fiona couldn’t help but sigh to herself.
Sure enough, her sister was such an idiot.
Just look at Pixie—she was growing so much alongside Eirik.
And where was Fennec’s sister? Still a Grandmaster Lv1.
Pixie had been a Practitioner back when Fennec was already a Savant.
Now, Pixie had surpassed her. It was almost too much to bear.
Meanwhile, Pixie and Eirik had both reached Grandmaster Lv3, and Eirik noticed that the system had given him a new prompt.
“Your strength is now sufficient to venture into the Path of Rules in the Starry Sky. Do you wish to proceed and unlock it?”
The Path of Rules in the Starry Sky?!
Was this the cue to open a new dungeon?
Eirik had thought the Path of Rules in the Starry Sky was just background fluff, but it seemed it could actually be unlocked.
Truth be told, Eirik was excited.
He’d been using the simulator for so long, focusing on activities within the continent, but he had never ventured out to explore the stars.
The Path of Rules in the Starry Sky was calling to him, and Eirik knew he had to take that step!
