As time passed, fewer and fewer people had left the hunting grounds. Among the few people who had entered the hunting area number 40, there were only 75 who passed the assessment and the rest had failed, while the rest might have died from being killed by another spirit warrior or an accident while attacking a beast.
"To think this year's assessment was quite cruel than the previous year!" Ricky muttered after seeing that only 75 people were still alive.
“You're wrong… As one of the largest organizations within the Feysac Kingdom, the assessment of the secret service organization is already considered lighter than organizations in other kingdoms. Maybe you don't know that the evaluation of the fire lotus organization which is one of the largest organizations in the southern part, namely the Nebula Kingdom, is crueler than the judgment of the Feysac Kingdom. To the Nebula Kingdom, the number of 75 people was of no value at all. The Nebula Kingdom doesn't hesitate to throw multiple participants into one place to kill each other leaving only one person alive." Prince Alfred could only shake his head before sighing helplessly as if he was remembering past events.
When William heard that, he subconsciously frowned. William subconsciously raised his head to look up at the sky, he looked up at the vast, bright blue sky before sighing, “Cultivation was originally a path that defied the heavens, as sentient beings tried to change the fate of life that heaven and earth had bestowed on them. That's why if we humans can't endure such a small thing, then you will be forgotten by the whole world and can only choose to live as a human being.”
While listening to this, Prince Alfred, Chiaki, and the others looked at William with surprised looks. It seems William has his own life story to make such a lonely face.
"Forgotten by the world?" William subconsciously muttered under his breath while remembering his life on earth, he didn't know if there was still someone who still remembered even though his life was no longer there.
"Growing up until one day we rot like fallen leaves, without anyone knowing that we ever lived in this world...." William suddenly remembered a song full of sadness when he was alive on planet earth, him little by little knowing the reason why scientists on planet earth are always looking for ways to prolong life, it's because they don't want to feel lonely and sad death like that.
"If one day my life is no longer remembered by someone, maybe I will leave a trail of achievements to prove that I have lived in this world!" William sighed, his eyes filled with a lonely look.
All William needed to do now was to submit and put his life in the hands of others.
"Let's go! This year's assessment time is over, no one else has passed!” One of the elders in charge of the number 40 hunting area assessment who had previously stopped William's attack had spoken.
The elder in charge made a strange hand gesture with spiritual energy surging out from within his body. The next moment, the golden ring on his finger started to glow, then a plane sizable like the shape of a sword had suddenly appeared in the bright blue sky.
“This is a flying transport soul artifact!” The few people below were slightly amazed to see the huge sword hovering above their heads. Then everyone saw the greatsword slightly lower its height until it reached the ground in front of them all.
Everyone didn't say much and jumped onto the greatsword.
“Use the soul energy of all of you to stabilize your bodies, lest they be blown away by the wind!” The elder in charge took out his soul energy and began to control the large flying transport soul artifact below him to bring everyone flying towards the area where the secret service organization was located.
William and the others followed what the elder in charge said.
At this time, the location of the mountains and rivers in the number 40 hunting ground below them was rapidly passing, in the eyes of all of them, there was currently only lush greenery where they were.
“Our secret service organization's special area is coming!” William muttered under his breath as he closed his eyes.
About half an hour later, the elder in charge of hunting area number 40 had brought them all to a mountain unknown to many. They can't see anything behind the big mountains in front of everyone.
But at this moment, they all saw that the elder in charge had stretched his hand forward with a token that had a closed one-eye logo in the center of the token.
Then in the next moment, an extremely strange transparent wave suddenly appeared in front of all of them.
“This is the secret service organization's private territory protection formation because after this mountain range is the area where the secret service organization's main headquarters are. Only a few cores authorized members who have passed the criteria will get this entry token, while ordinary official members will not get it. That's why ordinary official members can't enter or leave the secret service organization's territory freely!” The elder in charge explained one of the benefits of being a core official member and an ordinary official member, even the middle-aged man subconsciously looked towards William.
William, who felt the gaze of the middle-aged man, immediately turned to look at him.
"Why has this guy been looking at me all this time?" Said William who was a little confused.
Then they all started to pass through the protective formation that was in front of the huge mountain range.
“Is this the outer protection formation? This is very interesting, it seems that the prohibition formation just now was filled with illusion and surveillance.” William muttered as he watched the protective formation behind him recover little by little.
The sound of the howling wind had passed through their ears, and everyone was dumbfounded by the scene before them all. Compared to previous places, the area the secret service organization's main headquarters was in right now was truly like a legend.
Rows of mountains that are close together, giant trees towering with lush green leaves, huge buildings made of jade are amazing and various birds and rare animals are walking on the ground. They looked like ancient paintings that William had seen on the internet and comics.
“This is like the land of the gods!” Everyone had excited expressions on their faces, being able to meditate in this place was their biggest dream.
What surprised everyone was that the soul energy here was more abundant than in the hunting area. Everyone could feel that the air here was extremely clean, just by breathing it in they felt the soul energy within their bodies all starting to recover faster.
"The soul energy here is twice as abundant as the hunting ground, not only that, it's even more abundant!" Ricky felt the soul energy with his body, he felt his body getting refreshed.
“The secret service organization's main headquarters is located above the Hidden Dragon Mountain, in the northern part of the Feysac Kingdom, it is a place with more soul energy than any other ordinary place. Moreover, in the deepest part of the organization's territory, there is much more abundant soul energy than on the outside.” The elder in charge explained to everyone while controlling the greatsword that was flying in the air.
Listening to that, everyone had shocked expressions on their faces and looked towards the core with expressions full of hope. They hoped that at the gathering place later, their names would be mentioned as official core members.
However, William was not at all surprised by the thickness of the soul energy in this place. Because according to his memories, the Pendragon Imperial Family is in the central continent. If William's memory was not mistaken, there was a thickness of soul energy that was far more abundant and cleaner than this place.
As William began to understand more deeply about the world of the gods, William felt a tremendous horror emanating from the Pendragon Imperial Family in the central continent. William clearly remembered that the outer part of the Pendragon Imperial Family's territory in the central continent alone had a thickness of soul energy that could be seen by the eye, let alone with the core part of the imperial family's territory.
“But since I have promised to avenge the owner of this original body, then I will not back down so easily. Even if it seems impossible now, that doesn't mean it can't be in the future!” William clenched his fists with a stern expression plastered on his face.
At the same time, the two people namely Prince Alfreed and Chiaki looked much calmer. Like William, they both also have problems that are no less severe than William's burden.
“It is a great destiny to meet William! No matter how difficult the road in the future, we will step by step towards the central continent!” Prince Alfred clenched his fists with a determined facial expression.
“I thought I would die in this southern continent, but I didn't expect to meet the young master and Prince Alfred here. Since fate has given me a good living environment, then all the suffering I felt in the past I will let it all be blown away by the wind, and enjoy a pleasant life on this continent with the two of them.” Mu Yin said in his heart as he stood beside William.
Although the three have not yet reached the level of trust that can completely exchange secrets about the past, the three of them have trusted each other's words without asking why.
The three of them had secrets that no one else could talk about, it was only natural that the three of them could only let out a few secrets that weren't too important. It's the same as human relationships. If you try to push it too much then it's not very good for the three of them, but if the three don't care about each other, then it's not very good for the three of them. That's why the three must gradually be able to bring out the deepest secrets in their hearts.
“Looks like we have arrived somewhere!” William said in a calm tone. The large swords under their feet had all landed on the ground while looking at the large and empty square next to them.
