Mike’s expression became solemn. He recalled the Holy Dragon’s remnant soul he had seen in the northern region. He subconsciously asked, “Could it have been left behind by that Great One?”

“I hope it isn’t. Even though that Great One has passed away several times, he still has a realm that far surpasses that of a divine summoner. If there really is someone who is using his corpse, we definitely won’t be able to deal with him.”

Mike’s mood became dark. He asked, “What do you think?”

“I suddenly thought of something. Do you think that the dark magi found out about your relationship with the Great One, and that’s why they’re targeting you? I’m just a side character.”

Eve immediately refuted Mike’s opinion. She said, “What are they afraid of me for? Do they suspect that the upper realm sent me to investigate them? Then they would not dare to touch me. As for the fact that they suspect that I am the Great One’s descendant, that is even more implausible. Think about it, if they really suspect that I am the Great One’s descendant, why would they be willing to kill me? Squeezing out the last bit of my value is the way to go. Without knowing all the secrets about us, they would kill me.”

Mike nodded. He felt that what Eve said made sense.

Eve said, “There’s another thing.”

Mike immediately perked up and asked, “What is it?”

Eve said, “They might be coming for Teacher Kelly. Teacher Kelly doesn’t belong to this world, and her power is suppressed by the High-level summoners. So they are taking this opportunity to harm Teacher Kelly.”

Mike nodded after hearing what Eve said. He felt that what Eve said made sense.

…

On the other side of the High-level, a crow flew into the young man’s hand. The young man did not seem to notice it. His gaze drifted into the distance as if he wanted to see through the endless mountains and rivers and focus on one person.

A black fog gathered around the young man and whispered into his ear, “You can’t waste your time here. You have to go to the central region and compete with those geniuses. Over there, our spider webs can be exposed to the sunlight. Here, we can only live in the shadows.”

The young man’s gaze continued to look into the distance. The delicate face was still like a piece of white paper, without a trace of anger.

The young man’s adam’s apple moved, and a word came out of his mouth, “Okay.”

The figure in the black fog seemed to heave a sigh of relief. He turned into a black fog and disappeared into the world, “Then you can leave in three days.”

The young man turned into a flock of crows and left the place.

…

Mike was listening to Eve’s explanation, engrossed.

The two of them did not agree for a long time, so they decided not to think about it anymore.

Mike walked in front of the youths and said, “Tomorrow is your new round of selection. I hope your efforts are not in vain.”

The youths agreed in unison.

The next day, Mike bid farewell to the group of teenagers and said goodbye to Linda. Under Linda’s reluctant gaze, he walked up the Snowy Mountain and began his own life.

In the distance, a black figure saw Mike up the snowy mountain. He only regained his senses when his subordinate called his name.

“Thief, it’s time for us to leave. It’s hard to guarantee that nothing will happen when it comes to that guy.”

The youth turned into a group of crows expressionlessly and left this snowy country.

…

Mike sat beside Akari. Akari and Amelia smiled at him in a friendly manner. Mike also returned the greeting in a friendly manner.

The Dark High Priest looked at his 100 disciples and said, “From today onwards, Mike is a member of the Church of Darkness. Although he is not my student, he is also a student of the Summoner of God. In terms of status, you are all the same. As for strength, if you want to challenge him, go ahead. However, you are not allowed to rely on divine power, lest others say that we are bullying Mike.”

Mike smiled wryly at the Dark High Priest.

The Dark High Priest looked at Mike and said, “Mike, from today onwards, I will begin to teach you about the application of divine power. I will teach you seriously, and you will learn seriously. Listen and look carefully, do not miss a single detail.”

The students answered in unison.

Mike began to learn the application of divine power from the Dark High Priest, and with Eve’s consent, he gave the Great Wilderness Qi Refining Technique to the Dark High Priest. The Dark High Priest was overjoyed, and his relationship with Mike became even closer.

With the help of the Dark High Priest, Mike successfully learned how to cultivate divine power. From then on, Mike could directly generate divine power in his body without having to convert it.

Time passed in a flash. During this time, he had only seen Elinda a few times. Every time he saw her, the love in her eyes made him feel at a loss.

This was not the most embarrassing thing for Mike. The most embarrassing thing for Mike was that the princess and the female wizard had followed a group of young students from the kingdom to the Dark Continent.

Mike had only met the female wizard once, and the two of them had never contacted each other again.

The three of them had fallen into an endless cycle. They only knew how to keep their heads down and train, no longer asking about external matters.

Another period of time passed.

Mike had already arrived at the Dark Continent. During this period of time, the Dark Continent had sent five batches of thousands of students.

Mike understood that the situation of the Dark Continent was becoming more and more difficult. Otherwise, the Dark Continent would not be so anxious.

However, Mike was not in a hurry to go back. He knew that the progress he had made over the years, the strength of a high-level ten-star could not change anything. He also knew the progress of the others, and he knew what these people could do for the Dark Continent.

Mike looked at the twelve spirits quietly rotating in his Divine Power Spring. He raised his eyebrows, and then laughed lightly.

…

Another year had passed. Mike’s trip to the Dark Continent had already been completed.

In the middle of the field, two figures crossed each other. The snow that filled the sky was swept up. The atmosphere in the surroundings became tense. The students stood on both sides, cheering. With a bang, a youth was sent flying. The winner and loser had been decided.

Amelia walked in front of Mike and stretched out her hand. Mike stood up with his divine power. He looked at Amelia and said with admiration, “After so many years, I still can’t catch up to you.”

Amelia shook her head and said, “Mike, you flatter me too much. Everyone has seen your progress over the years. If I had not broken the rules today, I’m afraid I would have lost to you. I think you are invincible below the heaven-tier.”

Mike hurriedly bowed.

The Dark High Priest laughed and said, “Don’t praise him, you guys. If you praise him any further, he’ll be over his head.”

The Dark High Priest looked at Mike and said, “Mike, don’t worry. I’ve done some calculations. It won’t be long before you break through to the heaven-tier.”

Mike cupped his fists at the Dark High Priest and said, “I want to go back to the kingdom.”

Kelly had come to the Dark Continent to visit Mike, which was why Mike had received the help of the Dark High Priest.

The High Priest of Darkness was stunned and asked, “If you want to go back, you can. You should go back and take a look. It might be beneficial for your breakthrough.”

Mike looked at the Dark High Priest and said with some embarrassment, “Through information with His Majesty, I know that the war in the Dark Continent is getting urgent. May I ask if I ask for some reinforcements?”

The Dark High Priest laughed and said, “You can tell me who you want to go with you. I will allow it unless they hold positions in critical areas.”

Mike said with embarrassment, “The Vanguard of the Church of Darkness.”

The Dark High Priest did not seem surprised. He said, “Yeah, only they can help you. Then you can take them there. To the Vanguard, remember, you are there to help. Don’t put on airs. You know that I hate people who put on airs the most.”

The Vanguard of the Church of Darkness agreed in unison..
