Chapter 460: Departure

“Isn’t this Little Girl the granddaughter of the Elder?”

The apprentice disciples had heard the earlier discussion too, though they hadn’t paid attention then. Now that Zuo Meng had successfully advanced, Little Girl’s status naturally changed.

“As the Elder’s descendant, she deserves Elder-level treatment. Our tribe has never had a Saintess…”

“Exactly! This Little Girl shows excellent potential to become our Saintess.”

Little Girl stood dumbfounded, never having faced such attention. Potential? She’d barely joined the tribe through Grandpa Meng’s connections, her actual aptitude ranking among the lowest! These three old men were clearly lying through their teeth to save their own skins.

Zuo Meng ignored them, finally perceiving the world’s rules through his Endless Realm attainment.

Though vague, he detected this world’s upper limit – the Imperial Level, surpassing King-level. Exceeding this would trigger world rejection, though he couldn’t yet sense where rejects went.

“This world feels flawed… almost artificial.”

Zuo Meng paused, sensing approaching presence.

“Congratulations on reaching Endless Realm.”

A grey-robed man with flowing beard appeared, looking every inch the immortal sage. Zuo Meng saw through the facade – this world had no cultivation system. The strong totemic aura marked him as Totem Tribe elite.

“I sensed celestial phenomena and rushed here immediately.”

The timing proved impressive – Zuo Meng’s breakthrough took half an incense stick’s time, yet this elder had raced from distant Totem Tribe territory.

“Totem Tribe Elder.” Zuo Meng nodded as an equal. In Great Wasteland, strength ruled.

“No need for formalities. Let’s speak as peers.”

Though centuries older in lineage, Endless Realm practitioners enjoyed extended longevity beyond Thousand Mountain Realm’s scope. Tribal records about this realm came from Totem Tribe archives anyway.

“Elder Brother.” Zuo Meng landed gracefully.

The elder relaxed – better to befriend new Endless Realm experts than oppose them.

“Planning to journey far?”

He’d initially blocked Zuo Meng’s departure fearing threats, but now recognized the man as reclusive scholar-type.

“Time to leave.”

The tribe offered no further growth. Zuo Meng needed to investigate this world’s nature – why it blocked his creator powers, and what role the ‘door’ played.

“Why depart after achieving Endless Realm? Did someone offend you?”

The elder’s Pressure blanketed the tribe below.

The trembling tribe leader and Core Elders dropped to their knees. Beast Control Department’s scheming elder practically buried his head in dirt, avoiding attention.

Foreign Affairs Elders escorting the ‘Saintess’ also knelt abruptly, bewildering Little Girl: “Do our Elders have leg problems?”

“After decades secluded, I’ll explore now that I can protect myself.” Zuo Meng exchanged brief pleasantries before leaving unimpeded.

Later, earth shifted as shriveled crone emerged – Totem Tribe’s second Elder. The kneeling tribe leaders’ legs failed again.

“No conflict?”

“None. He’s cautious,” the first elder replied.

“Sixty years to reach Endless Realm? That secret’s valuable.” The crone’s graveyard voice rasped.

“Only if you survive to use it.” The elder vanished wind-borne.

“Old cowards!” The crone melted back into earth.

Core Elders remained kneeling half an incense-time, legs numb when rising.

Thus Little Girl’s Saintess status solidified. Wangu Village joined the tribe, octogenarian Zuo Feng becoming honorary Elder…

Zuo Meng journeyed west beyond Totem Tribe, discovering world’s true face – ancient wilds teeming with monstrous beasts compared to his Dream Realm.

Endless mountains and forbidden forests housed King-level entities even Zuo Meng avoided. Two centuries passed as he traversed human kingdoms – some tribal, others nation-states, all might-makes-right.

In Great Wasteland, power meant survival.
