'Mission Accomplished.'
Lev said inwardly with a smile after finally completing his world-level quest. Following that, all the rewards were automatically stored in his inventory while a new feature appeared on his status.
'System, explain this Random Class Change Card to me.' Lev asked. Though he already had a general idea of how to use it simply from its name, there was no harm in asking for confirmation.
[Random Class Change Card]
Description: A one-time-use card that randomly selects a class together with its corresponding skills.]
Seeing the description, Lev couldn't help but feel a little disappointed upon seeing the word random again. He had actually hoped that he would be able to choose the class he wanted himself. Still, he was rather satisfied with the reward, as there was a possibility that the randomly selected class could bring his strength to an entirely new level.
[Do you want to use the Random Class Change Card?]
Hearing the system's prompt, Lev thought about it for a moment before deciding not to use it yet. He would save it for later when he had more time to properly prepare himself.
Instead, he asked another question to confirm something that had been on his mind.
'System, can I return to Earth now?'
[Yes.]
Hearing the positive reply, a smile appeared on Lev's face. However, he decided to get some sleep first. As much as he wanted to return to Earth immediately, there were still things he needed to settle in this world. More importantly, he couldn't simply disappear without informing his lovers beforehand.

—Six months later—
Eternal Divine Continent,
Months passed, and the continent eventually reached the height of its prosperity. This period was later recorded in history as the Golden Era, a time when the continent experienced unprecedented development and peace under Lev's rule.
Lev's biography was also published and distributed throughout the continent, with copies displayed in the libraries of every major city.
After Lev's return, the people finally learned the purpose behind the numerous buildings he had ordered to be constructed during his absence. Following his plans, he established an organization consisting of doctors and Spirit Masters with healing abilities, allowing medical knowledge and healing techniques to be shared throughout the continent.
He also established an organization for blacksmiths, craftsmen, and individuals with related construction abilities. Numerous other organizations were created according to Lev's instructions, all designed to make the continent's various industries more organized and efficient.
In addition, various types of vehicles and motorcycles could now be seen traveling across the continent. Rather than relying on gasoline or electricity, Lev and several intelligent individuals modified their designs to run using Spirit Power as their primary source of energy.
Such vehicles quickly became popular among nobles and wealthy individuals, while motorcycles became especially popular among Spirit Masters because of their speed and convenience.
Furthermore, vehicles capable of flight were eventually introduced. Their arrival caused immense excitement throughout the continent, especially among ordinary people, as flying through the sky had always been a dream for many.
Meanwhile, the previously dangerous seas could finally be explored more safely. Lev introduced modernized ships capable of traveling across the vast oceans while providing greater protection against attacks from Sea Spirit Beasts. Although accidents and attacks could still happen, ocean travel was no longer as dangerous as it had been in the past.
On the other hand, Lev's direct students had already become Titled Douluos and officially inherited the title of Royal Guards.
Lev subsequently granted them a vast territory surrounding the continent, assigning them the responsibility of protecting the borders and guarding against any potential threats.
He also revealed the truth about becoming Gods and encouraged them to continue working hard. Lev told them that he would wait for them in the God Realm once they had reached that level.
His students were shocked when they first heard this, but after Lev shared some of his memories with them, they could only widen their eyes in amazement. Seeing the magnificence of the God Realm gave them an entirely new goal and motivated them to work even harder.
Lastly, Lev held another tournament to select the next generation of Royal Guards.
Knowing that his current students might eventually ascend to Godhood, Lev wanted to prepare successors who could take over their responsibilities and protect the continent in their absence.
From the tournament, he selected another twenty talented Spirit Masters and personally began cultivating them, intending to turn them into qualified candidates for the title of Royal Guard of the Eternal Divine Continent.

Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan Hall,
Meanwhile, the former Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan had already changed its name to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan after Ning Rongrong successfully cultivated her Spirit to the fullest of its potential.
At this moment, Lev could be found inside the clan's main hall for a single purpose—to formally ask for Ning Rongrong's hand in marriage.
During the past few months, Ning Rongrong had finally mustered enough courage to confess her feelings to Lev. She had initially been hesitant, afraid of how he would respond, but Zhu Zhuqing and the others had encouraged her to take the initiative before it was too late.
"Clan Master Ning, I'm here because I wish to take Rongrong as my wife. I hope you will allow us to be together."
Lev smiled as he spoke to Ning Fengzhi while holding Ning Rongrong's hand. After seeing and feeling the sincerity of her feelings toward him, something within Lev had been deeply moved. He had therefore decided to accept her feelings and make her a part of his family.
Hearing Lev's words, Ning Fengzhi was stunned.
He had originally thought that something serious or troublesome had happened when Lev requested to speak with him privately. He never expected that the reason would be something like this.
Ning Fengzhi then turned his gaze toward his daughter standing beside Lev. Seeing the happiness and slight embarrassment on Rongrong's face, a faint smile appeared on his own.
Deep down, he had already expected this day to come.
"Then, take good care of Rongrong for me, Your Majesty."
Ning Fengzhi's voice trembled slightly as tears began to flow from his eyes. They were tears of pure happiness. His daughter had finally found someone whom she truly loved, and that person was none other than the Emperor himself.
Uncle Gu and Uncle Ju also felt emotional upon hearing the news. In their eyes, there was perhaps no man in the entire continent who could match Ning Rongrong's brilliance and accompany her better than Lev, their Emperor.
With that, the hall was filled with happiness and celebration.
Lev stayed for a while longer to talk with Ning Fengzhi and the others before eventually leaving. However, the news did not remain within the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan for long.
After Ning Fengzhi excitedly shared the news, word of Lev and Ning Rongrong's engagement quickly spread throughout the entire continent, causing another wave of excitement among the people.
**********
—Six months later—
Eternal Divine Palace,
Another six months passed.
At this moment, Lev could be found sitting in the living room together with all of his lovers. He had specifically called everyone there because he had an important announcement to make, leaving the women feeling excited, curious, and slightly nervous at the same time.
Bibi Dong, Gu Yuena, Zhu Zhuqing, Dugu Yan, Xiao Wu, Bo Saixi, Qian Renxue, and Ning Rongrong along with their tailed beast companions especially assigned to them seeing the latter got the last tailed beast, Kurama, all looked toward Lev.
Their hearts beat faster as they noticed how unusually serious he looked.
Lev slowly looked at each of them one by one before a gentle smile appeared on his face.
"We've been together for quite some time now," Lev began. "I think it's finally time for us to get married."
The moment those words left his mouth, Bibi Dong and the others widened their eyes.
For a moment, none of them reacted, as if they were unsure whether they had heard him correctly.
But when they saw the sincere smile on Lev's face, tears suddenly began flowing from their eyes.
"W-Why are you all crying?" Lev asked in confusion.
This was the first time he had ever proposed marriage to someone, and he genuinely had no idea what reaction he was supposed to expect.
Instead of answering him, Bibi Dong and the others suddenly rushed toward him and pounced on him, surrounding him with hugs and tears of happiness.
It took nearly five minutes before everyone finally calmed down.
"T-Then, what do you think?" Lev asked again after seeing their reactions. "Will you allow me to marry all of you?"
"Yes!!!!"
All of them shouted at the same time.
Their voices echoed throughout the living room.
Although they didn't actually need marriage to prove their love for Lev—being able to remain together with him was already enough—they couldn't deny that hearing him personally propose to them awakened the maiden hearts they had buried deep within themselves.
The thought of becoming Lev's wives filled all of them with indescribable happiness and excitement.
"Then, let's start planning it."
Lev smiled widely, his own excitement growing as he realized that this was truly going to happen.
Following his words, the peaceful living room instantly transformed into a lively planning hall.
Bibi Dong and the others began discussing wedding dresses, decorations, guests, locations, food, ceremonies, and countless other details.
What had started as a simple announcement from Lev quickly became one of the most important and joyous events the Eternal Divine Continent had ever seen.
**********
Eternal Divine Continent,
Days passed, and news of the Emperor's upcoming wedding quickly spread throughout the entire continent.
The shocking announcement caused the entire continent to erupt with excitement. People from all walks of life began thinking about what they could possibly give as a wedding gift. Even those who weren't certain whether they would be allowed to attend personally still wanted to send something as a gesture of goodwill and congratulations.
As the wedding drew closer, the demand for vehicles, motorcycles, and ships also skyrocketed. People from distant regions wanted to travel to Eternal Divine City to witness the grand wedding of the Emperor with their own eyes.
This sudden surge in demand gave the workers responsible for manufacturing them both a headache and a sense of excitement.
The rapidly increasing number of orders meant that they had to work harder than ever to keep up with the demand. At the same time, they couldn't help but feel excited when they saw how much profit their industries were making.
**********
God Realm,
Inside a beautiful room, a stunning woman could be seen sitting on a chair while working on several matters while Shukaku could be seen sleeping around.
Suddenly, she stopped what she was doing.
She had sensed a presence other than her own.
The woman immediately stood up and headed outside to investigate. Shukaku, on the other hand, also felt the presence seeing him follow the woman outside.
After stepping out of the palace, her expression instantly brightened upon seeing the familiar figure standing in the distance.
The man who had arrived was none other than Lev, who had come to the God Realm to visit Sheng Ming, the Goddess of Life, and check on the matters he had entrusted to her.
"Lev, you're back!"
Before Lev could even say anything, Sheng Ming excitedly greeted him. Her reaction was almost like that of someone welcoming a long-lost companion, her happiness impossible to hide.
Beside her, Shukaku was also visibly excited to see his master again.
Lev remained silent for a moment as he looked at Sheng Ming. He then reached out, gently took her hand, and caressed it before the two of them headed inside the palace.
"Sheng Ming, how is the task I entrusted to you progressing?"
Hearing his question, Sheng Ming immediately put away her excitement and became serious.
She began reporting everything Lev wanted to know, explaining the progress she had made and the current situation within the God Realm.
As they continued walking through the palace, Sheng Ming patiently updated Lev on every important matter, ensuring that nothing he had entrusted to her was left unreported.
**********
—Night—
Eternal Divine Palace,
After settling everything in the God Realm, Lev and Sheng Ming finally descended to the Eternal Divine Continent.
By nightfall, they had already arrived at the palace, where Lev introduced Sheng Ming to everyone.
At first, his lovers were surprised upon seeing her.
After all, they remembered her as one of the God Kings whom Lev had fought during the war in the God Realm.
On the other hand, Sheng Mind just remained composed as she looked at them one by one as she was also familiar with them.
Following the introductions, Lev and the others spent the rest of the evening together.
Everyone was curious about Sheng Ming and the God Realm, so they asked her numerous questions about the place.
Sheng Ming patiently answered them one by one, sharing her experiences and explaining what life in the God Realm was like.
The conversation continued late into the night as Lev's lovers eagerly listened to her stories, fascinated by the world that awaited them beyond the mortal realm.
**********
Eternal Divine Palace,
The days passed quickly, and only one month remained before the wedding.
As the grand occasion drew closer, more and more people began gathering around the palace. Ordinary people and Spirit Masters alike traveled from distant regions, eager to witness the Emperor's wedding with their own eyes.
Many others also took advantage of the opportunity by setting up shops and businesses around the palace, turning the area into a bustling commercial district as they waited for the grand event.
The Eternal Divine Elite Academy also opened its doors to the public, allowing visitors to explore its magnificent facilities and infrastructure.
Those who entered could not help but marvel at what they saw.
Many ordinary people couldn't help but imagine how fortunate it would be to study in such an academy, while Spirit Masters were especially impressed by the training facilities available to the students.
The academy's students were not idle either. They took advantage of the sudden influx of visitors by establishing small businesses of their own, allowing them to earn some income while gaining valuable experience.
Day by day, the number of people surrounding the Eternal Divine Palace continued to increase.
Meanwhile, the palace itself had undergone a complete renovation. New structures, decorations, and designs had been added according to Lev's instructions, transforming the area into a magnificent venue worthy of the most important wedding the continent had ever witnessed.
After all, Lev had personally chosen his palace as the location for their wedding.
**********
—One month later—
Eternal Divine Palace,
Finally, the day of the wedding arrived.
The area outside the palace was filled with countless people, all waiting in anticipation for the Emperor and his brides to appear. Everyone wanted to witness what would undoubtedly become the most magnificent and iconic wedding in the history of the continent.
Standing outside the palace, Megatron and his Decepticon crew acted as guards.
Their imposing appearances immediately attracted countless gazes. Many people stared at them in astonishment, wondering just how powerful their Emperor must be to possess such strange yet intimidating Spirit Beast guards.
A moment later, the palace doors slowly opened.
Lev and his brides finally emerged.
They were dressed in their carefully chosen wedding gowns and suits, each design reflecting their individual personalities and beauty.
The moment they appeared, the entire crowd fell silent.
The beauty of Gu Yuena, Bibi Dong, Zhu Zhuqing, Dugu Yan, Xiao Wu, Bo Saixi, Qian Renxue, and Ning Rongrong left countless people mesmerized.
Soon, cheers and congratulations erupted from every direction.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
"Congratulations to the Empresses!"
"Long live the Emperor!"
The atmosphere became increasingly lively.
However, when the people finally focused their attention on Lev, many of them became completely speechless.
His handsome appearance, coupled with his calm and dignified demeanor, left an especially deep impression on those who were seeing him for the first time.
The wedding then proceeded according to the planned ceremony, with the Clan Heads and other important figures assisting in the celebration.
Eventually, the most anticipated moment arrived.
Lev kissed his brides one after another.
The crowd erupted into thunderous cheers, while some people were already wiping away tears of joy.
For a moment, everyone believed the ceremony had reached its conclusion.
Then Lev stepped forward.
His next words immediately silenced the entire crowd.
"Thank you all for coming to our wedding today. I truly appreciate all the gifts and blessings you have given us."
Lev smiled as he looked across the countless people gathered before him.
"However, I have one more announcement to make."
The crowd became completely silent.
"My wives and I will be leaving this continent. From now on, we have decided to live in the God Realm."
The moment those words were spoken, confusion spread throughout the crowd.
Lev had already discussed this decision with his wives and the upper echelons of the Empire. Although the news had shocked them at first, they eventually accepted it after learning that the legendary God Realm truly existed.
Many of them had even expressed their desire to follow Lev there.
However, Lev explained that they would first need to break through the shackles of mortality and ascend to Godhood before they could enter the God Realm themselves.
He also promised that he would occasionally return to the continent to check on its development.
The upper echelons eventually accepted his decision with excitement and anticipation.
Now, however, the ordinary people were still completely confused.
Suddenly—
CRACK!
The sky above them split apart.
A spatial rift slowly opened, revealing a mysterious and majestic aura from beyond.
From within the rift, Sheng Ming emerged.
The crowd stared at her in shock as they sensed the extraordinary power radiating from her.
Lev then turned toward the people one final time.
Standing beside his wives, he gave them a gentle smile.
"Strive hard. I will wait for you in the God Realm."
Those simple words left the crowd even more bewildered.
Before anyone could ask another question, Lev and his wives stepped into the spatial rift.
In the blink of an eye, their figures disappeared.
The rift slowly closed behind them, leaving the people staring at the empty sky.
For a long moment, nobody spoke.
They had just witnessed the most magnificent wedding in the history of the continent, only for their Emperor to reveal that another world—the legendary God Realm—actually existed and that he was now leaving to live there.
Confusion, excitement, curiosity, and disbelief filled the crowd.
At that moment, the Royal Guards and the other people whom Lev had entrusted with governing the continent stepped forward and gathered at the center of the venue.
Ning Fengzhi stood at the front, with Dugu Bo silently standing beside him and several trusted subordinates behind them.
"Everyone, I understand that you are all confused by what the Emperor has just announced."
Ning Fengzhi looked across the crowd with a calm expression.
"We, the people entrusted by His Majesty, will explain everything once the time is right. What the Emperor revealed today is the greatest secret of our world, and we cannot disclose everything immediately."
His words gradually calmed the crowd.
More importantly, the presence of the Royal Guards and the other trusted officials gave the people confidence that the continent would remain stable even after Lev's departure.
"For now, you may all return home and await further announcements."
Although many people were reluctant to leave, they ultimately followed the instructions.
They left the palace grounds while discussing everything they had witnessed, their minds filled with countless questions.
No one could properly describe what they were feeling.
They had come to witness an iconic wedding.
Instead, they had witnessed something far more mysterious—the departure of their Emperor into the legendary God Realm.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the spatial rift…
*****
God Realm,
Lev stood within his newly established divine domain, looking at his wives with a peaceful smile.
For the first time in a long while, there were no wars to fight, no enemies to defeat, and no responsibilities weighing heavily upon his shoulders.
His wives stood beside him, still wearing their beautiful wedding dresses, their faces filled with happiness.
Looking at them, Lev couldn't help but smile.
After everything he had experienced, he finally believed that the most peaceful and happiest chapter of his life had begun.
