The Green-Leaf World is the biggest and strongest Middle-Realm in the Cloud Sea Universe, apart from the wasteland on its East, the rest of the world is considered relatively safe. There are some danger zones but as long as one doesn't carelessly, they won't be assaulted all of a sudden.

There many strong factions in this world but the biggest one and the ruler of this world is, without a doubt, the imperial family. It is kind of strange since they're mortals but they have very strong protectors which force everyone else to obey them. They aren't domineering or that arrogant, in fact, the family is rarely seen in public. However, there is an exception, a person with the name of Isadore Marfront. The Crown Prince whose name is renown even in the Divine Planet. He's an undefeated tactician and a formidable war general. Despite his weak personal strength, his merits made everyone respect him. He is also considered one of the rising talents of the Green-Leaf World alongside Cold Sword, Shu Ru, the Flame Crown Prince, and the Sacred Priest.

...

When the couple broke through the wall of Yang Fire, they retrieved a Spirit Boat and started traveling comfortably instead of hurrying. The environment was much more peaceful than the wasteland and the density of Nether Energy was much higher.

After traveling for a few days, they encountered their first town. It wasn't that big but it had an inn for passing cultivators and some shops that sold artifacts and weapons.

Arthur's goal was only to seek information about any special event that's happening in the near future. Big events are usually the gathering of young talents of the world and his intention was to meet Jian Si and ask her about the missing prince and princess. As for finding the material needed to fix Makaze, he didn't think it'll be in the Green-Leaf World as it's extremely rare and hard to come by.

He needs to retrieve it personally as no one would be willing to let go of such priceless materials. To fix the dark blade, Arthur was in need of two things which are; a place, and a material. The material is called Dark Yin Steel or another alternative is Star Iron but the latter is pretty much non-existent.

The Dark Yin Steel is found in places devoid of light and have a thick amount of Yin Energy. As for the place required for the healing of Makaze, it has to be an exceptional place where there's a suffocating amount of Darkness Energy. There is the alternative of finding a place filled with Dark Energy but such a place do not exist since Dark Magic was something created by Zodiak and not born from natural laws.

...

As Arthur tossed two red Spirit Stones to a porcine-looking man who was greedily sizing him up, the ugly looking man happily smiled as he rubbed the stones while speaking:

"Way North, there's a dangerous zone called the Wicked Forest, apparently, it's haunted by ghosts and specters. Many who ventured inside never came back but there's a few who were lucky to find Star Iron! Argh! Lucky bastards!"

Arthur almost couldn't believe what he heard, he coldly looked at the man and said

"Are you sure of what you're saying?"

He held another Spirit Stones as he waited for the informer to speak more about the topic

"Yes yes! It happened six months b-but I don't know the name of the guy who found it."

Arthur pondered for a bit before throwing the red Spirit Stones and leaving the room along wide a hooded-Lucy. A bit after the couple left, another person who covered himself with a jet black cloak entered the room and spoke to the porcine man

"Did you say exactly what I told you to say?"

With a fearful expression, the fat man nodded his head continuously

"Y-yes yes, I'm sure he fell for it!"

The cloaked individual threw a Green Spirit Stone before swiftly leaving the room, he had no presence as if he was a complete ghost.

....

"So, are we heading North?"

Lucy, who was leaning on Arthur's shoulder as the Spirit Boat flew with lightning speed, leaving a red trail behind it.

"I think so. I have to ascertain of the truthfulness of the matter of the Star Iron."

"Do you want me to go to the Capital and see if there are any clues about the guy?"

Arthur firmly shook his head and added:

"No need, we're undefeatable if we're together. Separating will only lead to problems."

*************************

In a luxurious and cozy room filled with books and the scent of old papers, there sat a tall figure wearing a black tuxedo. His face was blurry and the aura around him was chilling and would make anyone uncomfortable.

He was busy reading a book in silence when another person suddenly appeared just in front of the former. The new person didn't look human, he had a pair of two-inch horns bursting from his forehead that oozed a terrifying aura and two massive jet black wings. He was none other than Belos, the only loyal subordinate of 'X'.

"Master, it has been confirmed that the Nameless Knight had disappeared yet again, there's no trace of him."

'X' put down the book and snorted while saying

"Hmpf! The bastard is finally gone? Good riddance!"

With a bent knee and lowered head, Belos listened to the complaints of 'X' while thinking to himself

'You say that but you're scared shitless of him.... not like it's not normal to feel scared of such a person.'

"How's the search for the orb?"

With a bitter expression, Belos shook his head. No matter how much Spirit Stones they spend hiring black merchant dealers to find Arthur's whereabouts, there were no signs of him. Then again, it's impossible to find him since his appearance is so much different from the one in his past life.

"He's definitely in the System's Universe but I didn't think finding him would be so hard. I'll have to lure him..."

............

In a place where there's nothing but an endless white space, much like the ARK. Contrary to what's inside Arthur, this place seemed lively as there were some flourishing roses and ordinary trees.

Two figures were facing each other, both had six wings on their backs, they were incredibly handsome and a soul-shaking gaze. They were, in fact, angels, and high-ranking ones at that.

"There has been a sighting of a World Tree in the X-TR 500 Universe."

The other angel frowned and retorted

"This isn't the first time and it's probably just a bluff to get something from us. Which faction is the one who informed us this time?"

The first angel, who had long blonde hair, took out a purple crystal which immediately brightened and showed the other angel a clear picture of a tall woman, who was half snake, half human.

"Heavenly Snake Clan? What do they want from us?"

"That's the confusing thing. She asked for nothing in return and even told us which world we'll find the World Tree. I don't think she'll go through all the trouble to contact us just to lie."

The second angel, who had short white hair, pondered for sometime before speaking

"Bring a small squadron and go check that place. If anything happens, activate your signal."

The blonde angel nodded his head and left the place after performing a polite bow.

Not too long after that, a group of four minor angels and one leader, left Heaven, heading directly to Astria....
