Divine Ruin Lands, Summer Family.

In a heavily guarded villa, the lush greenery and fresh air were accompanied by the faint sound of birdsong, akin to an ethereal melody resonating through the valley.

In a quiet room at the far end of the villa, a figure clad in white sat cross-legged on a bed emanating intense cold air.

She was a woman, her white garments purer than snow, her beauty captivating enough to make everything around her seem dull.

She sat there quietly, as if she were one with the icy bed beneath her.

Cold air consistently emanated from her body, making her seem less like a living person and more like an ice sculpture.

But if one looked closely, one could see:

At this moment, the peerless beauty in snow-white attire had her delicate brows slightly knitted.

Her flawless cheeks twitched slightly, as if enduring some kind of pain.

At the same time, the aura extending from her body continuously changed, growing stronger...

"Scarlett."

Only when a robust voice came from outside did the woman in white on the bed relax her delicate brows and open her tightly shut eyes.

As her eyes opened, autumn-like irises were revealed.

The woman, now with open eyes, appeared even more dazzling than when her eyes were closed.

Whoosh!

As if blown by a gust of wind, the woman in white vanished from the ice bed and immediately ’bang,’ opened the quiet room’s door into the backyard.

In the backyard stood a middle-aged man, unkempt and slovenly.

The man let his messy hair cascade behind him, revealing a strong, square face. With tiger-like brows and eyes, he exuded a commanding presence even without anger...

"Uncle Three."

The woman, as pure as a fairy in her white clothes, paid no heed to the man’s unkempt appearance and rushed forward, holding his arm, asking with bright, sparkling eyes:

"Have you seen Brother Leandro?"

At her query, her delicate body couldn’t help but tremble slightly, a deep excitement showing in her eyes.

"You silly girl, Uncle Three just arrived and you didn’t even ask if I’m tired. Instead, you ask about that lad first... It seems, in your heart, Uncle Three is far less important than him. Ah, girls tend to value outsiders more!"

The unkempt middle-aged man was none other than Ernest Summer, the third master of the Summer Family in the Divine Ruin Lands.

Ernest had just hastened back from the mortal realm, crossing the heavens to return to the Divine Ruin Lands...

He made it back just in time before the ’space channel’ between the Divine Ruins Lands and the other realms closed.

"Uncle Three, you tease Scarlett again."

The woman’s exquisite cheeks flushed with embarrassment as she spoke.

"Alright, alright, Uncle Three won’t tease you."

Ernest shook his head, then his expression turned serious, "I saw that lad... Fortunately, I arrived just in time, otherwise he would have been killed by the men Rocky Cloud sent!"

"What?!"

Upon hearing Ernest’s words, the woman’s face changed dramatically, and the calm look in her eyes ignited with intense anger, "Rocky Cloud... dared to send people to kill Brother Leandro?!"

This woman was none other than Wyatt Barnes’ wife, Keer.

She was also the eldest daughter of Summer Family in the Divine Ruin Lands, Scarlett Summer.

"That lad probably heard about your soft detention by your father, and that your Storage Ring was confiscated..."

Ernest paused for a moment before continuing, "I even suspect... your father deliberately let him know your Storage Ring was taken to use Rocky Cloud to eliminate that lad."

After speaking, Ernest sighed.

He understood how much his elder brother, the head of the Summer Family, disliked that lad from the mortal realm.

Back then, when his brother first learned about their niece’s reincarnation finding a husband and having a daughter, he was furious.

He nearly left the Divine Ruin Lands himself to the mortal realm to hunt down that lad!

"Father..."

Keer’s eyes were full of anger, yet she didn’t know how to release it.

Because that person was her father!

Now, apart from being Keer, she was also the eldest daughter of the Summer Family, Scarlett Summer.

"Uncle Three, Brother Leandro... is he alright?"

Keer asked worriedly.

"Don’t worry, he’s fine."

Ernest shook his head, "Additionally, I also informed him about the ’space channel’ between the Divine Ruin Lands and the heavens closing for a thousand years..."

"In the coming millennium, your father has a lot to handle and can’t arrange your marriage with Rocky Cloud. But a thousand years later, when the Divine Ruin Lands’ matters are settled, your father will surely bring it up again, forcing you to comply!"

"I explained all this to that lad..."

"He’s a very ambitious person... perhaps, a ’miracle’ might happen a thousand years later."

Ernest Summer found it hard to believe his own words as he spoke.

Although earlier in the worldly plane, Ernest encouraged Wyatt Barnes to strive to possess the strength his elder brother, the head of the Summer Family, would recognize a thousand years later.

Yet, he felt it was an almost impossible task.

"A miracle?"

Upon hearing Ernest’s words, Keer smiled bitterly, "Uncle, Brother Leandro has good talent and chances... but wanting to achieve strength that my father would recognize in just a thousand years is practically impossible!"

"Scarlett, you have to believe in him... I’m sure he also wishes you would believe in him."

Ernest said.

"Of course I believe in him... However, this time, I won’t let him face this alone!"

As Keer spoke, she looked towards Ernest and said, "Uncle, the closure of the ’space channel’ between the Divine Ruin Lands and multiple planes over the past two days means that those within the Divine Ruin Lands can’t access the multiple planes, much less the worldly plane via them."

"Once that space channel closes, Father likely won’t continue confining me..."

"Then, I intend to go to the ’plane battleground’!"

Saying this, Keer’s eyes flashed with determination.

Whoosh!

However, the moment Keer’s voice faded, Ernest’s expression changed drastically, and he immediately shook his head:

"No! You cannot go to the ’plane battleground’! Not to mention your strength hasn’t returned to your previous life’s level, even if it has, the plane battleground is still incredibly dangerous!"

"I disagree... I disagree!" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Ernest’s stance was firm.

"Uncle, if you disagree, then no one will assist me..."

Keer said with a bitter smile, "Uncle, I truly don’t want Brother Leandro to bear everything alone... He’s already sacrificed a lot for me in the past. Now that I have a chance to change my destiny by myself, no matter what, I must try!"

"If I don’t try this time... I’ll regret it a thousand years later!"

Keer’s gaze towards Ernest grew more unyielding, immovable.

"You, silly girl..."

It was the first time Ernest had seen his niece so serious, so serious that he didn’t know how to persist in his own view.

Eventually, he sighed and said, "You should think it over... That’s a plane battleground where no one will show mercy to you!"

This time, the closure of the ’space channel’ from the Divine Ruin Lands to multiple planes is due to the impending opening of the ’plane battleground’ in the Divine Ruin Lands.

The Divine Ruin Lands are planes created by The Strongest One, separated from multiple planes and the worldly plane.

Besides the Divine Ruin Lands, other planes have also been created by The Strongest Ones.

These planes created by The Strongest Ones encounter each other every ten thousand years.

At that time, the ’plane battleground’ will open!

Both major planes send representatives, and victory is determined within the plane battleground...

Once the plane battleground opens, it lasts for a thousand years.

Whether from the Divine Ruin Lands or similar planes, if they wish to swiftly enhance their strength, entering the plane battleground is the only way.

There, through real battles and various opportunities, one can rapidly enhance their strength in a short time.

Significant gain naturally comes with respective risks.

Deaths occur almost every moment in the plane battleground...

"Uncle, no need to consider... I’ve thought about it. If I want to recover my previous life’s strength within a thousand years, or even exceed it, entering the plane battleground is the sole path!"

Keer shook her head and said.

"Although I believe in Brother Leandro... I hope even more that I can fight alongside him in a thousand years!"

Keer’s tone was firm, leaving no room for negotiation.

In truth, despite her words, she internally had little belief:

That her Brother could possess strength that her father would recognize a thousand years later...

Thus, she must become stronger herself, changing her destiny in a thousand years!

In her past life, she willingly ended her own life for the annulment of a marriage.

Yet, even after ending her life in her past life, she hadn’t received her father’s approval...

Her father still insisted on marrying her to Rocky Cloud!

This life, she has too many attachments, so she cannot conclude her life like she did in the past.

She seeks to enter the ’plane battleground’ and fight for a future!

Even if she falls on the plane battleground, she will have no regrets...

At the very least, she tried.

"Brother Leandro... this time, Keer won’t leave you lonely. No matter how challenging the path, Keer will accompany you! Through life and death, never to part!"

Inwardly murmuring, Keer’s eyes revealed an immensely resolute glow.
