Chapter 83 - The Trial of the Illusory Realm

I've returned to the 80th Heaven, now having mastered the art of teleportation, able to come and go freely.In the temple, "This young man has good comprehension and a pure heart. Perhaps we should consider nurturing him," Ao Tian said to the subordinate divine officials. "The Divine Lord speaks wisely, but with the Nirvana period still far off, isn't this a bit hasty?" one replied. "A talent like this is rare even in billions of years. With negative forces stirring in other universes, if this continues, the awakened Primordial God will indiscriminately wipe out all universes. We must prevent this," Ao Tian continued. "At such a young age, he's already mastered 500 types of cosmic energy. If properly cultivated, he'll surely surpass us and become a new leader," Ao Tian added. "The Divine Lord's words are true. Let's see how he fares moving forward," the subordinate gods agreed.Standing at the peak of the 80th Heaven, I searched for the entrance to the next level. "Damn, I forgot to ask them how to get to the 81st floor," I muttered. Just then, I spotted a spiral light gate opening not far away. I hurriedly flew toward it, thinking, (This must be the entrance to the 81st floor, right?) and cautiously entered.Inside, it was pitch black. Realizing something was wrong, I tried to fly back out, but the entrance had vanished, trapping me inside. Suddenly, the surroundings gradually brightened, and the scene became increasingly familiar. Looking closely, I realized—this was Flower Field Village! How did I end up back here? Standing in the fields, I heard a familiar voice: "Brother Bai, you're back!" It was Bo Na! I turned around and saw her running toward me. "Long time no see, Bo Na!" I happily hugged her. "Brother Bai, I missed you so much! Did you defeat the Demon King?" she asked, clinging to me. "Yup, the war's over. The Demon Clan won't invade the human realm anymore," I said, patting her head. "That's great! Now I can be with Brother Bai again. Dad's working over there—let's go see him. He'll be thrilled to see you!" Bo Na said, pulling my hand. "Sure, let's go see Uncle," I replied, holding her hand as we walked."Dad! Brother Bai's back!" Bo Na shouted to her father, who was weeding. "Bai?! When did you get back? You're not hurt, are you?" Bo Na's father dropped his work and came over. "Thanks for your concern, Uncle. I'm perfectly fine." Suddenly, a villager shouted, "Bad news! Enemies are attacking!" We looked toward the sound and saw a large number of Demon Clan soldiers charging toward the village. (Didn't the war end? Why are there still enemies?) I thought, confused. Then I noticed the leader looked oddly familiar. "Isn't that Enis?!" I gasped. "Heh heh heh, today I'll leave this land barren!" she sneered from the air."Wife, why are you here? Didn't your soul shatter? I was just heading to the Heavenly Realm to save you!" I shouted, flying up to her. Without a word, Enis hurled a lightning magic bolt at me. I dodged quickly, but the bolt obliterated half the forest behind me. "Who's your wife?! I won't forgive such humiliating words!" she snapped, continuing her assault. Why didn't she remember me? This had to be an illusion— this Enis wasn't real. But she looked exactly like her, so I couldn't bring myself to fight back. I kept dodging. "Hmph, is that all you've got?" she taunted. Then she aimed at the villagers below, firing multiple magic bolts. Seeing Bo Na and the others in danger, I rushed down and raised a protective shield. The bolts hit the shield and exploded, leaving everyone else unharmed. My strength now far surpassed Enis's, and her attacks couldn't harm me. But if I didn't deal with this fake Enis, the crisis wouldn't end. This was truly a headache…
