Hao Gongming returned from her exploration of the latest world with great satisfaction.

Over the past three months, she had successfully slain numerous 2nd step beings, and she couldn't be happier. She had reached level 78 and now possessed 11 free stat points to allocate.

However, reaching the next level would prove to be a daunting task. Even if she were to eliminate a hundred more 2nd step creatures, her level would not increase significantly.

The path ahead is much more difficult.

Furthermore, increasing physical power after 100-point threshold required exceedingly rare and high-level resources.

she allocated an additional 4 points to physical strength, raising it to 110, and kept the remaining 7 points for emergencies. She could feel her physical strength becoming several times more formidable. Then, she turned her attention to her skills related to physical strength:

* Divine-Blood Strength: Temporarily enhances strength by burning one's own blood.

* Divine-Inexhaustible: Greatly reduces exhaustion from physical activity.

* Divine-Berserker: Host will get stronger the more blood she loses.

* Divine-Replace: The host can change places with any clone anywhere anytime at will.

Hao Gongming was delighted with the power of her skills. However, she still didn't believe that she had reached the 3rd step.

Setting aside those thoughts, Hao Gongming called for Tan Su.

Tan Su arrived with a serious expression and greeted Hao Gongming, who have been absent for a long time.

Hao Gongming smiled and asked, "How are things going?"

Su replied, "Things are much better now, Gongming. There is plenty of space, and mages are providing enough food. With the resources we have, many people have improved their cultivation and mage levels. There is even one boy who reached rank 4."

"Really? Bring him to me later. now, call Kang," Hao Gongming instructed.

Su left the room with a serious face, and after a while, Kang entered.

"Hello, Kang! Long time no see. I enjoyed your dance team and stripper team very much. Now I want to ask for more," Hao Gongming said.

Kang sighed and replied, "Of course."

Hao Gongming continued, "Choose the best boys in every arena, such as art, dancing, writing, poems, etc., and get them ready. I plan to establish an academy in the mage world that teaches these arts."

Kang's eyes lit up, and he said, "This is a great idea, Gongming! I will select the best of the best, and together we will spread art around the world."

Kang happily left the room.

Hao Gongming didn't want to disturb Peng's sleep.

Strangely, even though Peng was almost always asleep, his cultivation level continued to progress, and he had reached core formation without using the resources that was given to him.

"Maybe he has some kind of unusual bloodline," Hao Gongming pondered, but she put those thoughts aside.

She was about to embark on another journey to other worlds to gain xp when suddenly she looked up at the sky, and her pupils shrank.

"That demon..."

The demon was the only 3rd step she had encountered in the past three months, and Hao Gongming had a deep impression of her, so she remembered that distinct aura very well.

"She has detected my location in this world! I can run, but my harem will be destroyed if she comes here!"

Shivering at the thought, Hao Gongming immediately took action.

She summoned her clone.

The clone opened a portal, transferring the entire sect to another world. Once in the new world, the clone quickly opened another portal and moved the sect to yet another world. She repeated this process more than 100 times, both to find a suitable world and to avoid detection.

Hao Gongming's main body let out a sigh of relief when she sensed that her harem was safe in a faraway world.

Then, with a serious expression on her face, Hao Gongming looked up at the sky.

...

A demon named Poison Claw gazed at the world's protective shield and sneered.

She had a human-like appearance with a snake-like head and wore entirely green clothing. Standing beside her was another demon with horns and a tail, also sneering.

Poison Claw shouted, "Taste my poison!" and proceeded to spit on the shield.

The poison appeared unremarkable, but upon contact with the shield, it swiftly corrupted it, changing its color from transparent to green. Soon, the shield began to disintegrate.

The world shield differed from protective formations.

Generally, the larger the area to be protected, the greater the cost. As a result, when trying to shield an extremely vast area, the power of the shield became thin enough to break.

...

Worldunity01 cursed and exclaimed, "It's rank 12!"

The shield could have withstood a rank 11 attack, but it was not sufficient against a rank 12 assault.

He immediately contacted the emergency line to reach the rank 13 mysterious mage, who was the owner of all parts of the mage world that its name start with B9.

The message was relayed swiftly, and the mysterious mage promptly appeared.

When a pioneer mage in charge made such a contact, it signified a serious situation. The loss of B9 would have significant repercussions, hence his quick arrival to defend it.

The mysterious mage calmly gazed at the sky and observed Poison Claw. He cast a spell with a composed demeanor, uttering, "Space: Lock."

...

Poison Claw let out a loud laugh and prepared to enter the world, but suddenly she stopped in her tracks!

It wasn't just him; everything and everyone who intended to invade came to a halt.

Poison Claw attempted to use her poison to corrupt the space, but it proved ineffective. Her teleportation also failed, as did her communication with the Duke of Abyss, Endless Pride.

She was filled with terror. This level of attack could only be executed by an Abyss Prince!

The mysterious mage, known as Blue, cast another spell, "Space: Transfer."

In this world invasion, countless demons, including Poison Claw, a Count of abyss, the horned and tailed demon, a Baron of abyss, and numerous abyss Knights and low-level demons participated, but at this moment, they all vanished!

They reappeared in front of Mage Blue, but in a minimized form, small enough to fit on a small table.

Mage Blue gazed expressionlessly at them and thought, "These creatures are from a higher-level universe. It would be wiser to seek peace rather than engage in conflict."

Mages preferred to plunder weaker universes with abundant resources rather than fight stronger universes that yielded less loot in comparison.

Mage Blue promptly informed the mage who owned all districts starting with B.

That mage was the Arch Mage Seven Color, a rank 14 entity. When negotiations between high-level universes were involved, a rank 13 mage was not enough.

The highest ranks in high-level universes typically reached rank 16. However, those individuals were so distant and detached that they did not concern themselves with such matters.

Therefore, rank 15 mages were the highest powers involved in these affairs. As the chiefs, they did not negotiate in person, leaving the rank 14 entities to handle negotiations between high-level worlds.

This was not the first time mages encountered equally powerful worlds.

Every time such encounters occurred, they attempted to negotiate and establish peace. Conflict only arose when peaceful resolutions were impossible.

No one desired a fight to the death; everyone sought to exploit the weak.

Soon, the Arch Mage Seven Color appeared near the Abyss universe.

On the other side, a King of Abyss named Pill Demon made an appearance.

They exchanged information and engaged in a non-verbal negotiation. After a moment, both parties returned to their respective bosses.

Arch Mage Seven Color presented the agreement to the Divine Mage named Unification, who agreed to the deal.

Similarly, the King of Hell, Pill Demon, went to a God of Hell named Sloth Source, who also agreed to everything.

Soon, both sides erased the memory of the other world's location as if it never existed.

The Mage Universe Wall was repaired, and low-level beings forgot that such an event had occurred. However, the captured demons were not returned; they served as compensation for the damage caused.

Meanwhile, Hao Gongming looked up at the sky in confusion, questioning why she had sent the sect away and why she had been afraid of it being destroyed.

She immediately opened a portal and traveled to where her sect had been relocated. She had traversed numerous portals across various worlds to lose her trail.

Upon arrival, Hao Gongming asked her clone, who revealed the whole story.

Cold sweat formed on her forehead as she heard it. An entity that could make her forget such an important matter... the Mage World was too dangerous!

She decided to leave her harem in this cultivation world, where the strongest existence she had encountered was only at the second stage. Staying here would be much safer for her harem, and she could expand it as much as she desired.

However, she couldn't abandon the Mage World. She was still determined to open portals for mages and acquire free loot from other worlds.

Then, she made up her mind to explore this world a little further, ensuring its safety.

But first, she decided to return to the Mage World to confirm a suspicion that she had.

Passing through multiple portals, she arrived at the Mage World and entered. Immediately, she sensed that something was amiss.

"My memory! I've forgotten again why I transferred the harem away! It seems that nobody here is allowed to remember what happened," she realized.

Although she could recall asking her clone and the cold sweat that formed on her forehead at that time, she can’t remember what information the clone revealed!

"It must be an extremely high grade spell that affects the entire Mage world. It was the right decision to keep the harem in that world," she concluded.

Leaving a clone behind in the Mage World, she opened another portal to explore the world she had discovered, ensuring its safety firsthand.
