Chapter 73: 30 years in 3 days.
At this point, Lamia wanted nothing more than to tear the Ultimate Heaven Emperor's face apart.
"Hmph! Is this how you talk to your elders, you brat?" The Ultimate Heaven Emperor coldly snorted, uttering the words in a low voice.
However the impact his words had was anything but low, these mere words caused Lamia's spiritual space to shake.
In the next moment, the pressure around her seemed to increase exponentially, and her face turned pale with horror.
"No way! How can the gap between us be so huge?" Lamia gritted her teeth, forcibly suppressing her anger.
Both of them were at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, so why was the difference so vast?
Just then, the pressure she felt suddenly lessened.
"Hehehe, Ultimate Heaven, bullying the junior even after you killed her father."
"You sink to new lows every day," said the green-skinned Herath, interrupting the two of them.
"Arknos! You cunning old cougar..." Lamia cursed in her head, glaring at the green-skinned Herath. He had purposefully waited to help her only after she was humiliated.
After hearing Arknos' words, the Ultimate Heaven Emperor smiled and reined in his spiritual pressure. This was enough punishment for her actions in Deadwood City.
Lamia instantly felt the pressure lift and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, let's discuss serious matters," Arknos said, his eyes filled with dread as he gazed at the Black Curtain.
The three leaders had never expected the situation to deteriorate so rapidly.
They knew they had to unite; otherwise, survival would be impossible.
"Although I don't like to say it, our only hope lies in going beyond the Nascent Soul Realm. Only then can we escape this place," the Ultimate Heaven Emperor sighed and spoke grimly.
How many times had he tried to break through over the centuries, only to fail every time?
"I propose we pool our resources and hope that either this brat or Damien manages to break through," the Ultimate Heaven Emperor suggested after some thought.
Relying solely on Damien would be foolish, so he needed to consider other alternatives.
At his words, Lamia suddenly smiled, but her smile froze in the next moment.
Sigh! As if he would ever put her in an advantageous position.
"Let's sign the spiritual agreement."
The three parties came to a consensus and agreed to sign the agreement.
The terms were:
All internal fighting would cease.
They would ensure not to harm each other's interests.
The agreement was holistic, upholding the interests of all parties, much to Lamia's relief. After all, she was the weakest.

Three days later.
In those three days, the Dimensional Gate hadn't been opened again for reasons undisclosed to the public.
Today, David had come outside the town to practice flying. He wanted to soar like Ashford.
Hell, who didn't want to fly through the sky like a bird?
Flying for David was surprisingly easy he was able to soar through the skies after a single attempt.
"Wow, I believe I can fly," David sang joyously as he soared through the sky.
"Wow, Master, you are amazing," Mary clapped her hands, looking impressed by David's feat.
After all, only in the Golden Core Realm did a cultivator have enough mana to lift themselves into the air.
"Hahaha, Lady Mary, look at me!" At this moment, Sebastian muttered and flew up into the sky.
"Tch! Do you think you're the only one who can use Wind Law?" Mary scrunched her nose cutely, and in the next moment, she too became airborne.
Although both of them didn't have as much mana as David, their control over wind was something David could only dream of.
The wind seemed to gather around Sebastian and Mary, lifting them into the air.
Mary's black hair danced in the wind as she flew closer to David.
"Hehe, Master, look, even I can fly," Mary said happily, circling around David.
The joy David felt diminished significantly.
Sigh! He had thought too highly of himself and had forgotten that the beings around him were also monstrous geniuses.
While David was sighing, he suddenly received a notification from the bank that caused him to frown.
[Regretfully, your client has died once again.
Even in death, the client must repay their debts; therefore, his soul was captured. You now have the following options. Please note that you can only choose one:
1 - Extract the client's Crystallion of Life (The Besieger. Pseudo King Grade).
2 - Extract Ryan's memories from his birth until his death.
3 - Choose any item the client owned in his lifetime.
4 - Do nothing, let the compound interest accrue, and decide again when the client dies in his next life.
Please note that capturing the soul and imprisoning it requires a large amount of mana, so you only have nine minutes left to make a choice.]
"What the hell! How did the guy reincarnate and die again so quickly?"
Tons of questions suddenly popped up in David's mind.
Wasn't this process too fast?
Once, he could understand the guy reincarnating quickly, but how did he manage to awaken his Crystallization of Life so soon?
David clearly remembered that last time when he saw the status report Ryan's Crystallization of Life was the Anomaly; now it was the Besieger.
Barely three days had passed since his death. Even if he managed to reincarnate, he should still be in his mother's womb.
He needed information. With these thoughts in mind, he chose the second option.
This time, he didn't receive a warning from the bank, perhaps because his spiritual strength had increased.
Soon, unfamiliar information began to flood his mind.
"Vast Expanse Region."
"Planet Ruku…"
David felt as though he had lived an entirely different life in the span of a few minutes.
The memories he received left him gobsmacked.
"Master, what happened?" Mary shook his shoulder, looking at him worriedly.
He had been staring into the air, dazed, for several minutes.
Sigh!
"The world is indeed mysterious," David sighed after accepting the reality of the situation.
Only three days had passed in this world since Ryan's death.
On the other hand, In the place known as Planet Ruku, Ryan was reborn and died again on his 30th birthday.
Truly mysterious!
