To outsiders, the mage preparing to ascend emits a faint white light and then slowly disappears.

But for the mage themselves, they feel their surroundings suddenly blur, gradually losing their perception of the world until everything becomes clear again after the blur.

This process is quick, just a matter of seconds, similar to the process of using a teleportation device,

Hilia didn’t even have time to feel the teleportation process before she was transported into the Divine Realm.

After entering, Hilia first looked around to ensure nothing would appear until she started moving.

Then she checked her backpack and the magic puppet’s backpack to ensure nothing was left behind.

"It’s so amazing that coming into the Divine Realm would know what I want to bring with me." Entering the fantastical Divine Realm for the first time, Hilia was filled with curiosity about everything.

"It’s like each mage naturally comes with teleportation ability. In the world of the mind, this is quite normal."

Rose’s voice came, startling Hilia.

"Lord Rose? So you can come in too."

Rose rolled her eyes, "What are you saying? I’m a god, isn’t the Divine Realm where I naturally come and go? But when I was sealed, the Divine King also sealed the entrance to the subspace, otherwise I would have come out long ago."

If there had been any way to communicate with the outside, Rose could have asked someone to release her seal from outside eight hundred years ago.

"So, in the subspace, can you come out of my mind?" Hilia curiously asked.

Rose said nothing; after a moment of silence, Hilia saw him disappear from her spiritual space and appear beside her instead.

"You really can?" Hilia’s eyes lit up.

Although she always saw Rose in her spiritual space, this was her first time seeing him in ’reality.’

It felt quite wondrous.

"Stop looking, or you’ll be rejected by the Divine Realm, and it will be hard to come back."

"Ah, oh, okay!"

Hilia snapped back to reality, her cheeks slightly red, and hurriedly walked forward.

Guided by Rose, she appeared at the deepest part of the Divine Realm.

The ground was black metal, surrounded by deep blue, long, metallic strips, some only a meter high, others towering like skyscrapers.

In the distance ahead, a huge staircase made of pure white stood, and at the top of the stairs, a golden tree taller than the staircase swayed gently.

"The golden tree at the top is the shadow of the Star Spirit Tree. After climbing to the highest step, plucking a branch from the Star Spirit Tree’s shadow grants the final license for godhood."

Rose’s voice came from beside her as Hilia walked towards the steps, diverting her gaze from the Star Spirit Tree shadow and examining the passage between the stairs.

From the entrance, it was clear that before tier six, faintly visible roads connected the stairs, allowing mages to ascend. But after tier six, the roads disappeared, with only stairs remaining, seemingly without any ascending path for the mage.

"Is this why tier six is the human limit?"

Hilia thought, focusing on between tier one and two.

As she advanced, the surroundings began to change, and the various strange metallic strips in space began to float anti-gravitationally.

The smaller metallic strips fell in front of her, shattering like glass.

The shattered metallic pieces slowly transformed into common magical beast images in the forest under Hilia’s gaze.

The first group of obstructing demons numbered only around ten.

They roared angrily at Hilia and charged directly at her.

"Let’s see how powerful the scrolls are."

Hilia took out a Wind Vortex Skill Scroll and tore it open.

A swirling blue wind vortex appeared among the demon horde, with strong suction pulling all the demons toward the center.

During this process, the demon at the core was ground into powder, vanishing into the air, with a stream of light flowing from it into Hilia’s body.

This was the reward for the kill, helping climbers when they reached the second tier by increasing a large amount of magic power and comprehensively boosting the climber’s stats.

This wave of attack destroyed at least three or four demons.

So easily defeated, Hilia was stunned, "Did they die just like that? I thought they’d be tougher."

Rose chuckled, "This is just the beginning. They’re herbivores manifested; if they couldn’t be solved with a single magic spell, you wouldn’t even think about advancing later."

"That’s true."

After slaying a few demons, the power of the wind vortex dwindled, gathering the remaining demons together without shredding them apart.

Seeing this, Hilia pulled out an Entanglement Skill Scroll and tore it open.

Many vines sprang up from the black metal ground, entangling and grinding all remaining demons.

The first wave of attack was easily overcome.

Hilia continued along the faintly visible road.

Soon enough, metallic strips flew in front of her again and shattered.

This time, the strength increased, and the demons presented were wolves and hyenas, very aggressive demons.

The number increased to nearly twenty.

Having gauged the scroll’s power, Hilia didn’t use another scroll; instead, she ordered the magic puppet to charge forward, utilizing Water of Stagnation along with Ice Blade Impact repeatedly to slay all the demons!

Hilia became excited.

The feeling of smashing demons made her addicted and full of fighting spirit.

"So my ascension task only needs me to keep killing?"

Hilia looked back at Rose.

Rose nodded.

"Tier one doesn’t have complex events; you just need to kill, as long as you can manage it."

"Hmhm, don’t underestimate me!"

Kill, kill, kill!

The young girl pressed onward, the difficulty gradually increasing.

The number didn’t change much, but the demons’ size and strength continuously grew.

From initially the wind vortex instantly killing monsters to later being unable to kill a single one.

Fortunately, the suction of the wind vortex worked regardless of the demons’ size, just varying in speed.

"The deep layer of the Divine Realm, so simple!"

A thrilled girl personally controlled the magic puppet, galloping among the demon horde.

Rose simply smiled silently.

Soon, Hilia made half of her way forward.

At this moment, a massive metallic strip flew up, crashing to the ground. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

This strip didn’t shatter; instead, it directly blocked Hilia’s way.

Such an unexpected situation made Hilia pause.

"What’s going on?"

Rose chuckled, "There might be a bug."

"Bug?"

Rose kept laughing, "Any problem in subspace wouldn’t be surprising; it’s a world of chaos here. Keep going ahead, if you hit a dead end, tough luck."

Hearing Rose while she was enjoying the battle startled Hilia.

"Could I be so unlucky on my first time in here?"

But she soon breathed a sigh of relief.

Because the column blocking the path shattered.

The broken column quickly gathered, forming...

The form of a white whale!

Hilia’s heart lifted once more.
