In the land of evil, Rody led an elite squad to battle against the orcs. Around a small tent and a campfire, Rody resumed his own identity, sitting in the center of everyone present. There weren't many people there, besides Chris, Tommy, Terry, and Stanley, there was also the Doll Diva disguised as a little maid, and the great beauty Pandora. After ending his role as the Black Night Prince, Rody planned to step into the land of the seven clans at the moment the space-time rift opened, in search of Jill and the Succubus sisters, also preparing for the miraculous return of Rody from hell in the future.
When the temple secretly breathed a sigh of relief at the death of the Black Night Prince, Rody would return to give them a big surprise. By then, not only the temples in the country of Camalon would be burnt down and overthrown by people. Rody's goal was to completely expel the temples from the human continent, take over humanity's faith, strengthen his own power, conquer the heavens, and return to the realm of the gods...
His current task was to quickly gain the support of each race in the land of the seven clans, preparing for the future flattening of hell and the attack on heaven.
"You, always making things so tragic when you leave, making me cry non-stop these past few days, shedding so many tears for nothing," Pandora complained. Even in front of Chris, Pandora was fearless, boldly sitting next to Rody, acting coquettishly like a little girl.
"Your tears weren't shed in vain. In a sense, the Black Night Prince is indeed dead," Rody sighed slightly and said, "If there really was a Black Night Prince, and it wasn't me in disguise, then he would have truly died at the hands of the temple's assassins."
"I cried too, it's annoying. It was all fake, but it was so moving!" The Doll Diva, disguised as a little maid, remained in character until she played a trick on the Black Night Prince with spicy noodles in the arena, and Rody recognized her. She was mischievous enough as the Doll Diva, but as a little maid, she was even more so, giving Rody a headache.
"Hee hee, I still like the Black Night Prince more because he was full of treasures and a prince," Pandora of course liked the Black Night Prince. She could always find an excuse to see him, unlike with the miraculous little Rody, who, as the nominal queen of Camalon, she didn't really know.
"The temple has suffered a heavy blow, I doubt they have much prestige left," Stanley laughed heartily.
"Seeing them in trouble, it's really unspeakably satisfying," Tommy and others also nodded in agreement.
"No, they still have power. The chance for them to rise from the ashes is great. We must take advantage of our victory to hit them hard, to prevent them from regrouping and turning defeat into victory. During this year Rody is in the land of the seven clans, we must unite with Camalon and Mille and other countries to strike at the temple as much as possible, using all means, especially magical newspapers and other propaganda means, to use public power to overwhelmingly crush the temple on moral grounds. If we can force the temple to show its true colors in front of the world, then their grand and holy image will completely collapse in people's hearts. But now, it's still early!" Chris secretly kicked Rody, hoping he'd keep his distance from Pandora.
"Everyone, try your best to enhance your strength! What we will face in the future are not only orcs and demons, but also the knights of the holy temple and angels. If you want to follow me to invade heaven, then train diligently!" Rody encouraged Tommy and the others.
"Boss, don't worry about that. A year from now, I guarantee I'll at least be a Sky Warrior!" Lopeck and others were brimming with confidence.
"I hope you all can become stronger, to become Sword Emperors, or even Sword Saints. Of course, this can't be rushed, you must improve step by step," Rody said with a smile.
"Ha, just thinking about becoming Sword Emperors and Sword Saints one day excites me. If I become a Sword Emperor, there will surely be lots of beauties throwing themselves at me. Oh my, then which little beauty should I kiss first!" Although Terry was still a small-time thief in terms of strength, his imagination was masterful. Hearing Rody mention Sword Emperors and Sword Saints, he really thought he could become such a powerful being.
"I say, drag this guy out and give him a good beating!" Silver-haired cool guy Tommy couldn't stand this guy's fantasizing anymore; being around him was simply embarrassing.
"All he thinks about are those dirty things, hit him a few more times for me!" the Doll Diva said, raising her little fist.
"Miss Doll, we'll definitely give him a good thrashing, break his ribs, but remember, later you have to introduce us to a few beauties from the opera house. Alright, we won't say more, we're leaving now..." The group left several beauties with Rody and dragged Terry away without any loyalty. Even a blind man could see the sparks flying between the beauties, staying here would sooner or later make them sacrificial lambs.
"Rody, good guy, say something. My magic is so powerful, I can definitely help you, let me go with you!" The great beauty Pandora, seeing everyone leave, immediately clung to Rody's arm, pushing up her ample chest and provocatively rubbing Rody's arm in front of Chris.
"Nobody is allowed to go with him!" Chris strongly opposed.
"I think I can do it, with my singing voice and my proficiency in the Elvish language, I can definitely move freely in the land of the seven clans," the Doll Diva added to the chaos.
"Young master, we also want to go with you. A year is too long, we, we can't bear to part with you!" The Linessia sisters, having no significant status, did not dare to compete with Chris, the Doll Diva, and the great beauty Pandora, but they also quietly pleaded with Rody. The time rift opens only once a year, and Rody's departure would mean a year, making them wait painfully for a year was indeed hard to bear.
"What's a year? Xingqing and Xingyu have been waiting for this guy for thousands of years, and they don't whine like you!" Chris supported Xingqing and others to accompany Rody to the land of the seven clans because they truly had the ability to help Rody. Moreover, what reassured her the most was that Xingqing and the others' attitude towards Rody was almost like that of a father or a god, more respectful than romantic, so she was certainly comfortable with them following.

"We're not going, and you're not allowed to go either. Why do you get to be with him every day?" The great beauty Pandora demanded that Chris also stay behind.
"Right, right, you should stay. Rody is going to the land of the seven clans to find Jill. What are you going there for?" The Doll Diva, finding herself on the weaker side, temporarily chose to ally with the great beauty Pandora against their biggest rival, Chris.
"I'm not going!" Chris huffed angrily: "Don't worry, this guy has left me a big mess of things to deal with, even if I wanted to go, I can't!"
"Christina sister, let me help you," the Doll Diva offered sweetly, trying to ingratiate herself.
"No need, I'm not very familiar with you, don't call me sister." Chris huffed: "How dare I trouble the Doll Diva to do things for us! If the people of Camalon found out, they would curse me to death, the child of the elves. If I'm not careful, others might think I'm trying to pursue you! Forget it, just continue singing at the opera house!"
"Sister, I apologize to you. I was wrong not to show up last time you went to the Hidden Mist of Thunder, but I saw you holding him... Never mind, it's all in the past. Shall we talk?" The Doll Diva's temperament was completely different when dealing with Chris and Rody.
"You two talk, Rody and I are going to sleep," declared the great beauty Pandora, not following the sisterly route, but instead taking a more direct approach.
"Good, that's a nice suggestion!" Rody nodded.
"In your dreams!" Instantly, both Chris and the Doll Diva's little fists flew at him.
"Poor young master, having too many girls you like also seems to be a problem," the Linessia sisters whispered to each other: "I heard that in Rody City there are thousands of girls in the Rody Love Fan Club. The young master is really miserable..."
"Both of you, shake hands with me! Finally, someone understands my pain!" Rody gratefully grabbed their hands.
"Taking advantage and still acting cute? Asking for a beating!" Chris and the Doll Diva were furious, about to hit him, but they found the great beauty Pandora sitting calmly, not intending to lift a finger, and couldn't help but ask, "Don't you find him detestable?"
"No, such a man is good. The more people love him, the more it proves his excellence," Pandora smiled: "Besides, I'm busy thinking about Jill."
"Jill?" Both Chris and the Doll Diva were startled.
"I think the one who can make Rody rush to find her must be very obedient and cute. It's because of your wild behavior that she seems even more obedient and cute. Ha, how could I be like you? I must be a lady, always giving him a good impression!" Pandora's words made both Chris and the Doll Diva put down their fists, each grabbing one of Rody's hands, their faces showing extremely tender smiles, and said in unison, "Silly, how could I bear to hit you? Don't be afraid, I just want to steal a kiss."
"The war between women is terrifying!" The Linessia sisters hugged each other tightly, shivering with fear.
"It's nothing now, but if the female boss were here, it would probably be even livelier!" Rody laughed heartily.
"Who? Who's the female boss? I don't know about her!" The Doll Diva became anxious upon hearing this.
"Hehe, I won't tell you. You can guess!" Rody said mysteriously: "It's late at night, I need to rest. If anyone is afraid of the dark, I can accompany her to sleep! Come on, raise your hand to sign up!"
"Who dares to raise their hand?" When Chris saw that all the women were preparing to raise their hands, her temper flared again. She huffed, "We all sleep together, and nobody is allowed to make a move. Pandora, stop looking around, I'm talking about you! As for Rody, you big pervert, if you dare to make a move, I'll tie you up and throw you out to feed the night wolves, just try it!"
"Chris is so scary!" The two sisters hugged each other tightly in fear upon seeing this.
...
After a night passed, no one had a good sleep.
Due to constant movement, almost every half hour, someone would hit, kick, or bite, and the target was often Rody in the middle. No matter who moved, touched, or kissed, it was ultimately blamed on him. Fortunately, the threat of being tied up and thrown out to feed the night wolves didn't happen, though his lips were bitten.
After that night, Rody realized something.
If a man stays with one woman, then in the long night, something is bound to happen.
However, if a man stays with several women, then in the long night, amidst the fighting and fussing, it quickly passes, and nothing happens. Nevertheless, he took the opportunity, in the dark, to steal kisses from them, though he couldn't be sure whom he kissed or if he kissed anyone twice in the darkness.
The girls, however, were quite satisfied. Sleep was not the goal, nor were the kisses.
Their goal was to prevent anyone from getting ahead and having something happen with Rody in the long night, and so, their purpose was achieved.
After bidding farewell to brothers like Tommy and Terry, and to girls like Chris and the Doll Diva who were reluctant to let go, Rody began his journey to the legendary land of the seven clans. The affairs of the human world were wrapped up for him, leaving the rest for his brothers to complete, or for girls like Chris to take care of.
Now, he was to set foot in the land of the seven clans, another mysterious space.
The space-time rift of the seven clans was inside the Silent Forest, in an area where ordinary humans could not enter, near the divine mountain.
Although Rody was anxious to find Jill, he didn't forget to return to Whitestone Town, spending an afternoon with his surprised mother. Watching her live peacefully in this town, free from worldly strife, he was reassured enough to bid her farewell. Rody guessed it would be at least a year before he could see his mother again. Although he had reminded Chris to be especially careful about his mother's safety, the various changes in the world still caused Rody some worry.
He dared not let Chris bring his mother to Rody City, fearing the temple assassins' plots, nor did he want to disrupt her peaceful and tranquil life.
Unless he had enough power to ensure his mother's safety, Rody hoped that a hidden place like Whitestone Town could shield everything, allowing his mother to live safely and peacefully.
"Don't worry about mother, my dear. The Holy Mother watches over all beings from heaven, and she won't let mother encounter any danger," his mother comforted her son, kissing Rody's forehead, reluctantly letting him go and watching as he gradually disappeared into the sky. She felt content, her heart filled with happiness and sweetness, because her beloved son had finally grown up. He could now fly freely in the sky with the wings of his dreams.
This had always been her prayer.
To let him fly freely and happily was the warmest blessing in her mother's heart.
In the deepest part of the Silent Forest, there were magical beasts everywhere. As Rody flew in, he discovered some extremely powerful magical beasts, some of which had never appeared in the world before. Perhaps these beasts were from the land of the seven clans, escaping through the space-time rift. Entering deeper into the Silent Forest, Rody saw dragons and young dragons more than once. Although these were just immature dragons, it was enough to prove that the continent originally did not have any giant dragons. They were a product of the land of the seven clans, just like how magic worms and magic flowers are products of the Abyss, the dragons came to the human world because of the space-time rift.
This meant that in the land of the seven clans, Rody might have to face giant dragons as enemies.
He still vividly remembered the strength of the Black Dragon Alfred from years ago.
Although today's Rody was no longer the same as before, if he encountered beings much stronger than the Black Dragon Alfred, he believed there would be a great battle.
"Interesting, maybe I can turn Tommy and the others into dragon knights," Rody mused. With the help of the four Starlight Girls, Xingqing and Xingyu, and possessing several divine artifacts, he was truly looking forward to the land of the seven clans. He didn't have a plan to counterattack heaven yet, but he already had an idea of forming a bone dragon squad and a dragon knight squad.
In the deepest part of the Silent Forest, he could see the edge of the Divine Mountain in the distance. There were space-time rifts everywhere, with volcanic eruptions occurring.
This place was very similar to the Exile Lands, yet different.
The space-time rifts here were far more stable and fixed than those in the Exile Lands. They seemed to be restricted by some divine power, slowly rotating in place. He believed that each time they fully opened, it took a year. When Rody arrived, they were only slightly open. Only a few flying magical beasts were coming in and out.
Carnivorous magical beasts chased herbivorous ones, and if they accidentally collided with the space-time rifts, they would scream and turn to ash.
Rody cautiously used his psychic powers to detect and ensure safety before quickly passing over them. After a burst of magical light waves and transportation through different space-times, feeling slightly unwell, he stabilized his mind and found himself in the 'land of the seven clans' of another world.
This place was very different from the human continent, with magical elements as rich as air.
Surrounded by tall fruit trees and endless fields of flowers, Rody was amazed. This mysterious land of the seven clans was a hundred times more beautiful than in the legends. Here, he believed that anyone who made a little effort could rapidly increase their strength and reach a higher realm of cultivation. Moreover, the space-time rifts here were unusually mild, without the catastrophic earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and billowing smoke like in the human world.
Except for the barrenness around the space-time rifts, there were no adverse effects.
Flying over the vast sea of flowers, Rody occasionally noticed the legendary thumb-sized honey fairies, flying around carefree and chasing each other.
"Mitty, is this your homeland? It's so beautiful!" Rody summoned Mitty, who was sleeping in the Mithril Magic Bracelet, gently woke her up, and asked.
"No, this is the terrifying Butterfly Fairy Kingdom, brother, we need to leave quickly!" Mitty, however, looked terrified.
