"Yeah, you're spot on...you're a native of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes."

The Almighty Demon Vine spoke languidly, as if it was getting tired of nagging at Wen Yu.

"But the Universe of Immortals and Heroes also has a complete social system, and where there is a social system, there are class differences."

"The identity I'm referring to is that class difference, not some crap about being from Earth or a native of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes!"

Listening to the Almighty Demon Vine's explanation, Wen Yu finally understood.

It was clear that the identity the Almighty Immortal Emperor had arranged for me wouldn't be a lowly one.

"Oh well, since we've already brought Tang Haofei along, might as well continue. He might be a bit verbose, but there are no other major faults..." the Almighty Demon Vine grumbled as if resigned to fate.

Wen Yu didn't really have a better solution to this situation. Besides, the Almighty Demon Vine hadn't mentioned this earlier, and bringing Tang Haofei along for safety's sake hadn't been a major mistake on his part.

I'll just have to see how things go and ditch this guy then, he thought.

By now, this was probably the only remaining option for dealing with Tang Haofei.

But...

"You still haven't told me what identity you've arranged for me."

"You'll find out when the time comes."

The Almighty Demon Vine's dismissive tone made Wen Yu's lip twitch in annoyance.

This guy's attitude towards me has been getting worse ever since its soul awakened.

...

About 20 minutes later, Tang Haofei finally ended his call and walked back, looking completely befuddled.

"Let's go," Wen Yu said, deciding not to ask about the call.

Tang Haofei, however, was the type who couldn't keep things to himself when it came to "minor issues."

"I'm really curious about what you were up to just now."

Wen Yu ignored Tang Haofei.

"Do you know what the headquarters on the second layer just told me?"

Wen Yu continued his silence.

"They said all the dead spirits of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes have regained their sanity. Apart from their bodies, they're no different from when they were alive. These dead people have all come back to life, not like zombies, but truly alive! Also, the number and quality of Demon Fiends suddenly increased, and they've found several teleportation gates similar to Treasure Land gates, with Demon Fiends pouring out of them like a flood. This all has something to do with you, right?"

Wen Yu remained silent, pressing onwards without a word.

"Because I'm closest to the Fifth Layer of the Heavenly Palace, and also considering safety factors, the military gave me a mission. They want me to go to a place called Ling Yun City in the Fifth Layer of the Heavenly Palace, find the City Lord of Ling Yun City, and negotiate an alliance between Cathay's military and an organization called the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. For crying out loud, what the hell is all this?"

All these new terms, indicative of the sudden shift in the situation, left Tang Haofei feeling disoriented. It wasn't just him; even Wen Yu, who was listening, felt an odd sense of unease.

"Ling Yun City? The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance?"

Tang Haofei scratched his head, following closely behind Wen Yu.

"What on earth is going on?"

"We're here!"

Wen Yu abruptly halted, causing Tang Haofei to almost collide with him from behind.

Tang Haofei looked up ahead.

Not far away, a teleportation passage connecting the Fourth and Fifth Layers of the Heavenly Palace rested quietly on the ground.

...

After a barely noticeable wave of dizziness, Wen Yu and Tang Haofei appeared on the land of the Fifth Layer of the Heavenly Palace.

Gazing at the endless barren plain before him, Wen Yu directly questioned the Almighty Demon Vine.

"Where are we going?"

After a long pause, the Almighty Demon Vine finally uttered a name.

"Ling Yun City..."

"Why the hell didn't you say so earlier!"

It turned out Tang Haofei and I are heading to the same place!

"What difference would it make if I told you then or now? You have two choices: go with him or ditch him! But here's a suggestion: take him with you for now. It won't be too late to part ways when you reach Ling Yun City."

The Almighty Demon Vine's confident retort left Wen Yu speechless. At times, the Almighty Demon Vine could be quite domineering!

Furthermore, since the Almighty Demon Vine's suggestion made sense, Wen Yu agreed without much thought.

With Tang Haofei along, the journey from the wilderness to Ling Yun City would be much safer; at least the intensity of the battles would be considerably reduced.

Wen Yu turned and looked at the bewildered Tang Haofei. After a brief moment of contemplation, he asked casually, "Do you know the way to Ling Yun City?"

"No idea."

Right. It would be a miracle if you knew... Wen Yu thought with an inward scoff, then pointed in the direction of Ling Yun City that the Almighty Demon Vine had just indicated.

"I don't know either. How about we head that way?"

"Sure!"

For Tang Haofei, it didn't really matter which direction they went.

...

The scenery along the way wasn't great. After countless eons, the Fifth Layer of the Heavenly Palace had long since lost any prosperity it might have once possessed.

The landscape was covered in all sorts of plants different from those on Earth—not tall, but remarkably sturdy.

Of course, the vegetation posed no problem for Wen Yu and Tang Haofei.

The real trouble for them were the active things spread across the Fifth Layer of the Heavenly Palace—Demon Fiends and the dead souls of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes!

"We've really been through the wringer, haven't we?"

Tang Haofei's words perfectly described their current situation.

They sprinted in the direction Wen Yu had indicated. Along the way, they crossed mountains and rivers as they encountered them, and killed any Demon Fiends they met. Just as Tang Haofei had said, the number of Demon Fiends had indeed increased dramatically. Roughly every kilometer they covered, Wen Yu and Tang Haofei would encounter scattered Demon Fiends.

This frequency was much higher than when they were on the levels below!

When it came to Demon Fiends, both agreed—just kill them.

Wen Yu needed the flesh and blood of Demon Fiends, but Tang Haofei didn't. Their abilities didn't conflict at all, which was good news for Wen Yu.

At the very least, I've got a free fighter!

However, when encountering the dead souls of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes, their choices were more varied.

After some discussion, they captured the first dead soul of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes they encountered. Once they had asked for directions to Ling Yun City, they killed it and resumed their journey.

They promptly killed the scattered Demon Fiends they met along the way. Whenever they encountered dead souls of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes, they tried their best to go around them.

And when they came across battles between dead souls of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes and Demon Fiends, Wen Yu and Tang Haofei would also try to avoid them—mainly because they couldn't be bothered to get involved.
