Chapter 875: Athena Plane
During his travels northward through the Ylli Knight Alliance, Sein spent over a total of a hundred years journeying through ten or so foreign planes.
Unlike his initial twelve-year stay in the Aqua Rhino World, Sein’s time in each subsequent foreign plane grew progressively shorter as he ventured through more and more worlds.
The primary reason for this change was the sheer number of member planes under the Magus Alliance—a staggering tens of thousands.
Even if Sein limited his stay to a single year per plane, it would still take tens of thousands of years to visit them all.
This did not even account for the time lost while traveling through teleportation arrays.
On certain planes that particularly piqued his interest, such as Fire Trapa World, Sein stayed longer, spending nearly eight years in this case.
On more ordinary planes, however, his visits lasted only a couple of years before he moved on.
Even with these adjustments, Sein’s exploration of the ten or so planes accessible through the Ylli Knight Alliance still took him over a century.
A hundred years—how many centuries does one have in a lifetime?
When Sein departed from the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring, he had just passed his two hundredth birthday.
Sein spent his three hundredth birthday in a microplane known as “Miranto Plane”, a world known for its unique geo elemental creatures—sludge monsters.
On that occasion, Sein celebrated his birthday with Reina and his wife, Natalya.
Yes, Natalya was now traveling with him as well.
Thirty years earlier, she finally managed to find and catch up to Sein and Reina.
When Sein and Reina departed from the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring, Natalya had been visiting House Ernst.
By the time she returned to the Divine Tower, she was shocked to learn that her best friend had left on a journey with her husband.
Since Sein already had a companion on his travels, he did not mind adding another, as long as the two women did not interfere with his daily experiments.
The two female knights frequently ventured off together, seeking out arenas where they quickly gained a reputation for their prowess, even in the heart of the Ylli Knight Alliance’s territory.
Interestingly, despite Sein’s century-long stay in the Ylli Knight Alliance’s territory, he never encountered the knights with whom he had previously had disputes.
By then, she had already led Athena World to the pinnacle of its glory.
Her decision was common among powerhouses of the Astral Realm.
After all, not every plane could compare to the Magus World, with its abundance of overlords and overmages.
For the Rank Six creatures of the Magus Civilization, the existence of these beings served as tangible proof that higher realms were attainable and that even the seemingly insurmountable life barriers could indeed be overcome.
Moreover, some peak Rank Six creatures who had received guidance from the Magus Civilization’s overlords were gained access to greater opportunities and pathways that allowed them to ascend to higher realms—advantages far beyond the reach of most other extraplanar creatures.
For those creatures, how could they possibly break through to a higher realm without even being aware of the existence of overlords?
Regardless of whether it was a micro, low-level, medium-sized, large, or top-tier world civilization, the birth of every Rank Four, Rank Six, Rank Seven, or Rank Nine creature was an extraordinarily rare and arduous occurrence.
This was especially true for the first creature to break through their shackles. Even the very laws of their world would shift as a result of their achievement.
The emergence of such exceptional prodigies depended not only on innate talent and potential but also on the alignment of favorable circumstances.
Empress Athena was undoubtedly the favored child of her homeplane.
Determined to pursue a higher realm and elevate her homeplane’s status, she chose to venture into the vast expanse of stars without hesitation!
After a hundred thousand years of absence, Empress Athena returned.
Her prolonged disappearance had led to the appointment of a new empress in Athena World.
Many of its inhabitants were even convinced that their strongest ruler in history had perished, leaving only her youthful effigy worshipped in the Temple of Female Warrior Goddesses.
But Empress Athena had not fallen.
Although she had not yet crossed the most difficult life barrier, her one-hundred-thousand-year journey had significantly enhanced her strength and elevated her foundational power!
Her return came just in time—on the eve of the Magus Civilization’s second invasion of Athena World.
The heightened danger sense of a peak Rank Six being allowed Empress Athena to detect the crisis threatening her homeplane from across vast distances in time and space.
With her sudden reappearance, the Magus Civilization’s vast resurgent combat legion suffered another defeat at the hands of Athena World, led by its empress.
