Chapter 333 The Immortal World

A few hours later, all that was left of the command center were broken screens, shattered machinery, and plentiful body fluids. On one side, Dante lay amidst a console of computers that had been shattered, panting tiredly while orange energy flickered haphazardly around his body.

On the other side, Beatrice also lay in a heap, her breathing labored as her lower body leaked a copious amount of white fluids. She was seated above a group of broken chairs, looking tired but still energetic compared to the defeated Dante.

It was clear who won.

After resting for a bit, the two cleaned up and wore their clothes once more, Dante with a sullen expression while Beatrice was beaming. However, in consideration of Dante's pride, she did not say anything to provoke him.

Beatrice closed the alternate dimension and brought them back to real space where everything was normal, with various androids going up and down while working. They only glanced at the duo who appeared for a split second before looking away and resuming their duties.

As for them, they left the First Gate and headed towards the Eternal Universe. Before they entered the Immortal World though, Beatrice pointed out something that had been slightly bothering her all this while.

"So now that you've retracted all your forces in the First Gate, how will we manage things?" Beatrice asked slowly.

Dante glanced at her. "I know your feelings for your home universe are strong, and I won't downplay them. However, I think they should be largely fine with your mother there, not to mention our quantum clones will provide her support while taking care of Antonia."

"Hmm, anyway. It's a good thing because they will be forced to adapt without relying on us for one, and secondly, they have become too reliant on our handwork and have profited freely along the way. That's not good for long-term development." Beatrice admitted and put the matter out of her mind.

"Hmm, why don't you transform some of our most recent picks from the recruitment into Radiant Angels and deploy them to fill the void my troops left behind?" Dante suggested gently.n(0)vel(b)(j)(n) was the first platform to present this chapter.

Beatrice rubbed Dante's back and smiled. "Thanks for the concern, Dante, but it's not important. I don't want to contract angels currently because I will likely abandon this power when I try to become an origin being like you."

The duo then wasted no time as Dante accessed his school account that was now in the second year since he had passed the first year with flying colors. A lot more resources and classes were open to him, along with many worlds he had never seen before.

However, none of them caught his interest much like the Immortal World did.

Dante raised an eyebrow. "Massive, huh? The most I ever made was a small world, and even that took so much time and effort that I feel tired remembering it."

"Yeah, I also gained a new appreciation for the school and its intricately crafted worlds. The school has many flaws and problems, but its innovation with its quantum worlds is something else." Beatrice admitted as she shook her head.

Dante logged into this world and chose a starting point that was pretty good. He chose to be the husband of Beatrice in the world who came from a destroyed immortal family of an ancient era and was its last heir.

Satisfied, Dante descended into the world using his game avatar first. When he appeared, he was at the mountain gate of an ethereal sect that had floating mountain peaks covered with mist and grandeur.

Before anything could happen, he descended with his main body and placed a quantum marker down. Immediately, Beatrice appeared beside him as she teleported to the quantum marker using her true body.

Dante logged out of his avatar and left his main body down. He did not want the school to be able to monitor his current realm of abilities, especially since he lost the Quantum Core superpower and could not twist the quantum laws to his favor.

"Who goes there?! State your names!"

Suddenly, a young male voice sounded out from above them, prompting the duo to look up and see a handsome young man of obviously Asian descent flying towards them while riding on a sword.

"Dante Alighieri, heir to the Alighieri Immortal Family. This is my wife, Beatrice," Dante promptly introduced themselves with a smile.

"Huh? an immortal family?" The young man's face changed greatly as he immediately lowered his altitude to be on par with them and adopted a respectful expression.

He made a gesture that Dante and Beatrice knew to be a martial salute from their time in the True Martial World. "Greetings fellow daoists, my name is Ken Kei, and I am an Inner Disciple tasked with guarding the sect gate."

After introducing himself, he sized the two up and was shocked by the sense of danger he felt from both Dante and Beatrice despite his own high cultivation. As such, even his next questions were a little bit more kind than he would have originally preferred.

lightsnοvεl "May I ask what the two of you are doing at the gate of the Pure Heaven Sect?" he asked carefully.

"We are here to cultivate the dao of immortality and would like to join the esteemed sect," Dante responded with a smile.

"Oh? Please wait a moment." The young man quickly took out a small talisman and then placed it against his forehead before tossing it backwards. The talisman then flew at a mountain peak at the center of the sect that towered above all the others.

Soon, a small meteor streaked towards them that was made of a golden color which was different from the red color of the one Ken Kei originally sent out. When Ken Kei especially saw the color of the talisman, his face changed once again as he hastily received it carefully and placed it against his forehead.

When he opened his eyes, they were full of surprise and wonderment. He turned to the patiently waiting duo and bowed towards them respectfully before inviting them in.

"Thank you for waiting, sir and madam. Please follow me to the Ancestral Hall to meet the Sect Master," Ken Kei said, beckoning to the duo.

Dante and Beatrice followed along, flying steadily behind Ken Kei. Beatrice used spatial magic while Dante simply manipulated the world with his endless Origin Energy. He didn't use his hellfire true qi because he didn't want to disgust these fellows.

Soon, they arrived at the peak of the highest mountain which was surrounded by many aesthetic phenomena that truly enhanced the visual and spiritual appeal. Dante saw qilins playing with dragons and even little phoenixes and rocs flying about.

Here, there was a large building that was about the size of a large palace outside that was glowing with potent energy. Upon arriving here, Ken Kei became extremely humble and didn't dare to fly anymore, landing on the ground and walking with Dante and Beatrice also adopting such a behavior in order not to cause conflict.

At the door of the hall, a surprisingly well-organized flow of people dressed in brocade robes or fan-like robes were entering and exiting, all of them bearing different powers, colors, and visages, but one thing they all shared was Ken Kei's look of subdued respect.

This naturally made Dante and Beatrice stand out like sore thumbs since they wore casual smiles and seemed free. It wasn't intentional but rather because the duo could not muster the energy to pretend when they could raze this entire quantum world to ash.

This behavior naturally caused the others to glance at them with skepticism and wonder. Who were these two where being personally led in by an inner disciple, not to mention their dismissive demeanors as if they were walking in the back garden?

Pffft, who did they think they were? Did they truly believe that they were two immortals descended upon the lower world?
