Lord Angel left the Heaven Mystery Pavilion with a heavy heart.

  Seeing him look like this, Alina could not help but ask, “Father, what’s the matter? I’m sure the people who dared to cross the seventh dimension will get their karma.”


  However, Lord Angel shook his head and said, “I don’t know what went wrong. Not only were they okay, but they also got the Origins and were devouring it happily.”


  “What…?” Alina was stunned and could not believe it. “How did they do it? Didn’t the expert stop them?”


  Lord Angel sighed. “The mind of an expert isn’t for the likes of us to know. By the way, what’s the result of the feather competition? We have to go to the seventh dimension soon.”


  “The top ten have been selected and they’re plucking their feathers in the hall as we speak. I believe it’ll be done soon.” Alina paused before saying, “By the way, we also captured a fallen angel. I wonder if the expert would like some black feathers.”


  The other fallen angels escaped with Mosha, but one was captured.

  Lord Angel pondered for a moment. Then, he said, “We might as well give it to the expert. Pluck the feathers and bring them with you.” Then, he reminded her, “Be careful when plucking the feathers. Be sure not to damage them.”


  Alina nodded and said, “Don’t worry, Father. Everyone knows.”


  After a while, 10 angels flew out of the main hall, stretched their wings, and hovered above the sky. All 10 pairs of wings were bald with no exceptions. If this had happened before, they would not have dared to show their faces and would only hide in their rooms and cry. Now, however, they were proud of what they had accomplished.

  Bald wings had become their new badge of honor. It was a recognition for their quality feathers, and it meant that they were the chosen angels! All the other angels looked at them with envy and they could not help but sigh when they looked at their feathered wings.

  Lord Angel did not hesitate to praise them. “Well done. You’re all the pride of the Angel Clan!”


  The 10 angels smiled and said, “You’re too kind, Lord Angel. It’s our honor to offer up our feathers. Please, hurry along and deliver it to the expert while they’re still fresh.”


  “Hahaha, alright. I’ll be off then!” Lord Angel laughed and set off for the seventh dimension, along with Alina and the angel feathers in their hands.

  Finally, they crossed through the portal and entered the seventh dimension.

  Lord Angel scrunched up his face and said, “What thick Wisdom aura! This dimension sure has an abundance of Wisdom. It’s incredible! But…how could this be?”


  “Father, what’s the matter?” asked Alina curiously. She could vaguely sense that it would be easier to have a breakthrough in the seventh dimension than in the fourth dimension but apart from that, she could sense nothing else.

  “You’re still at the first step of the Wisdom Elite realm so your senses are limited. The power of each Wisdom Elite’s too great, and the thickness of the Wisdom aura present represents the number of Wisdom Elites that each dimension can nurture. Take the residual Wisdom aura in the fourth dimension, for example, it’d be difficult to produce another Wisdom Elite for it would cause an imbalance if that were to happen.”


  “Imbalance? What do you mean by that?” asked Alina in puzzlement.

  “The servant becomes the master. Just like the first dimension whose Origins had been stolen by the Eldritchs.”


  Alina looked thoughtful. It made sense. There were countless parasitic beings in the dimension but the dimension also relied on those beings to operate. At the same time, the dimension had its own mechanism to operate smoothly. However, when the parasitic beings, for some unknown reason, become too strong, this balance would be broken. Then, the dimension would inevitably be destroyed.

  Lord Angel took a deep breath and exclaimed, “And this dimension’s different…very different! The Wisdom aura in this dimension’s too strong, even the fourth dimension did not have such a strong Wisdom aura initially. Such a thick Wisdom aura means that more than one hundred Wisdom Elites can be cultivated.”


  “More than one hundred?” gasped Alina. She could process everything else but this. The Eldritchs had been pillaging the seven dimensions for eons and even they did not have a hundred Wisdom Elites.

  Alina pressed her lips together and said, “Is the seventh dimension really that powerful?”


  “The power of each dimension may not be exactly the same, but it wouldn’t differ too much.” Lord Angel shook his head. His eyes gleamed with wisdom and in a trembling voice, he said, “I suspect…the anomaly of the seventh dimension’s related to the expert!”


  “It’ll be incredible indeed if the expert can make a dimension’s Wisdom aura so thick!” said Alina in disbelief.

  “The fact that he could give you a head wreath that contains the Origins of Wisdom shows that he can do so. I can’t even imagine what else he can do. In any case, it won’t do us any good to overthink things. Let’s go see him first,” said Lord Angel solemnly.

  Their respect for Li Nianfan had increased just then as they quickly made their way to the Area of the Gods. Not long after, with Alina showing the way, they saw the Fallen Immortal Mountain in the distance.

  “Father, the expert’s on this mountain,” said Alina.

  Lord Angel nodded, landed at the foot of the mountain, and said, “To avoid misunderstandings, we should go up by foot.”


  When they were about halfway up the mountain, they could vaguely sense an energy fluctuation, and when they looked up, they saw a swarm of Origins Devouring Bugs with red eyes, rushing excitedly in a particular direction.

  Lord Angel narrowed his eyes slightly and in a surprised tone said, “Those bugs… I remember seeing them in the Heaven Mystery Pavilion.” Immediately, he and Alina quickened their steps.

  On the other side, a group of wild game animals stood around a pit and were holding stones and branches as weapons in their hands. They stood in a formation and looked up at the sky with determined expressions on their faces.

  “Look, those crazy poo[-stealing creatures are here again. Hurry, we need to stop them!”


  “Stop them! Protect the poop at all costs!”


  “You’ll pay for stealing our poop! Die!”


  They roared and fought with the Origins Devouring Bugs and the scene was chaotic for a while.

  There were only about 50 game animals but there were thousands of tiny Origins Devouring Bugs. Naturally, it was easy for the bugs to slip past them and dive right into the pit.

  “No!” Lord Angel felt like he was struck by lightning when he saw what was happening in front of him. He was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground. ‘Is this what the people of the Heaven Mystery Pavilion were referring to when they meant they had the Origins of the seventh dimension? Why did they look so happy to be eating poop? It’s no wonder why it smelled so bad in the Heaven Mystery Pavilion.’ His brain began to buzz when he thought about how cocky they were in front of him.

  “Lady Luck must be smiling down on me!” said Lord Angel. He was patting his chest and seemed to be on the verge of tears. “I would be amongst the poop-eating army if I joined forces with the Heaven Mystery Pavilion. I’d rather die than do that!”


  “Brother Yun Qianshan, Brother Zheng Shan, my old friends. Bon appetit. It must’ve been hard work to cross the dimensions just to eat some poop.” Lord Angel retracted his gaze. What he had just witnessed further strengthened his determination not to offend the expert living in the four-part architecture.

  Gradually, the battle of the poop came to an end. There were still some Origins Devouring Bugs who got their fill, but the number was lesser than the last time.

  Lord Angel and Alina were fortunate to be able to see such a spectacular scene which directly refreshed their worldview and made them count their lucky stars. Alina looked toward the four-part architecture, feeling a little nervous. She asked, “Father, shall we knock on the door?”


  “Uh…” Lord Angel was equally as nervous. He had not felt like this ever since becoming the master of all angels. He could not believe that he did not even dare to knock on a door. ‘Will the expert find us annoying for suddenly visiting him? Would he misunderstand our intention since we’re from the fourth dimension?’


  Fortunately, just as they were hesitating, the door opened with a squeak. Nanan and Dragin came out, carrying some animal feed and beating the gongs in their hands.

  “It’s mealtime! Come one, come all!”


  Immediately, the group of wild game animals rushed over, arched their noses, and squealed like pigs. Nanan and Dragin began to distribute the feed amongst the game animals. “Don’t worry, there’s enough for everyone.”


  Lord Angel glanced at the pig food and found that it looked very unappetizing. He did not understand why these demons were fighting for it. However, in the next moment, he took a closer look and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

  “What? It can’t be! How’s this possible?” He gasped, moved closer to the pig food, and sniffed hard. Then, he exclaimed in horror, “This pig food not only contains the rich power of law, but also a thick Wisdom aura. This is the pure essence of the Origins of Wisdom!”


  He could not believe that they were giving it to them as pig food. Was it really that cheap in the eyes of the expert? He finally understood why the Heaven Mystery Pavilion people were so happy to be eating poop.

  “Huh? Sister Angel, you came back! Are you here for revenge?” Looking at Lord Angel and Alina, Nanan and Dragin suddenly became vigilant.

  “No! Definitely not that! Please, don’t misunderstand us.” Lord Angel shook his head quickly and then explained, “Alina had already told me what happened the last time she was here, and believe me when I said I’ve already reprimanded her sternly for that. It’s an honor for us that the expert likes our feathers and it’s only natural for us to give him more. Thus, we’ve come to deliver more feathers to him.”


  “Really? You brought more feathers?” asked Nanan and Dragin with shiny eyes. They knew Li Nianfan had been muttering to himself about how he wished he had more feathers so he could make more things. The two of them found that the cushion made from the feathers was comfortable, too. They would have gotten more feathers had they not copied ‘Di Zi Gui’.

  “Yes. Don’t worry, there’s more where that came from. One word from the expert and we’ll bring more feathers to you.” Lord Angel was overjoyed when he saw the expressions of Nanan and Dragin and quickly took out the feathers he had prepared.

  “Wow! There’s so much!” Nanan and Dragin both smiled. “Brother Li will definitely be happy. You have a very promising future ahead of you.”


  “It’s our honor.” Lord Angel was extremely excited. He then asked curiously, “If you don’t mind me asking, those pig food…”


  Nanan was in a good mood so she explained, “Brother Li wants to give more nourishment to the vegetables in the backyard. He treats this group of game animals as poop machines. He feeds them pig food and uses their poop as fertilizer.”


  ‘Poop machines? The expert sure doesn’t spare any expense when it comes to fertilizing his vegetables, huh? Excuse me, where can I sign up to be a poop machine?’ Lord Angel looked at the pig food wishfully. He had to rely on his strong willpower to resist the urge to fight over the food with the other game animals.

  “The two of you wait outside while I deliver the feathers to Brother Li,” said Nanan. Then, she and Dragin went inside the four-part architecture. They were being cautious by not inviting Lord Angel in. After all, it could be a scheme of Lord Angel. If he entered the courtyard and then said ‘Actually, you’re a cultivator bigshot’ to Li Nianfan, it would truly be game over for everyone then.

  Nanan and Dragin ran to Li Nianfan and gave him the angel feathers as if they were treasures. “Brother Li, Brother Li, look what just came!”


  He was taken aback for a moment. Then, he said suspiciously, “Angel feathers? Where did you get it? Did the two of you forcibly take this from the angels again?”


  “Of course not! We learned our lesson. Besides, we’ve been here all this while,” said Nanan.

  “Brother Li, the Angel Clan personally delivered this to us!” said Dragin.

  ‘The angels personally delivered their feathers here? Are they really that kind?’ Li Nianfan found the whole thing a little strange, but then, he suddenly understood what was going on. The angels must have offered up their feathers to protect themselves after seeing how strong Nanan and the others were. They must be thinking that we would not send them to rain revenge down on them if they sincerely offered up their feathers. That must be it!

  “Alright, alright. I’m sorry for jumping to conclusions,” said Li Nianfan with a smile. Then, he started to organize the feathers. There were enough feathers to make some cushions and a mat. Not bad at all.

  ‘Huh? There are even black feathers! Awesome! I was just thinking about what other colored materials I could use to spice things up a little. Now my problem’s solved!’


  Meanwhile, back at the Heaven Mystery Pavilion, everyone was craning their necks in anticipation. Finally, they grew extremely excited when they saw black dots appearing on the horizon.

  “Hahaha, they’re back with the Origins!”


  “Quick! Everyone, get ready. It’s chow time!”


  “Why are there only about three hundred bugs returning this time? It seems that they encountered a harder battle than the last time. We need to cherish these hard-won Origins!”
