"And Athena, you can enter this portal and this will lead you to Immortal's Dark Realm." After Jin Rou entered the portal, the Creator immediately activated another one for Athena, "You will be directly sent to your little sister so there is nothing to worry about."
Athena nodded and was about to enter the portal when she asked, "His Majesty will be alright there, right?"
Athena was worried for Jin Rou. After all, it was once again a brand new world he wasn't familiar with. She remembered that Jin Rou wanted to go back home now but it looked like it wouldn't be possible with the current situation. Furthermore, it looked more difficult than the previous so she couldn't help but get worried.
"He will be alright. He's not Jin Rou if he cannot survive that world." The Creator chuckled, "As you saw, he even had the audacity to request something absurd so you should worry about yourself and your sister instead of him. Remember, don't let your little sister go out of that realm as she is contracted by their deal with Jin Rou so be sure to keep her in check."
That little girl was still young, really young not just in appearance. So there would be tendencies that it'd run amok and throw tantrums to get out of that boring place. There was a high chance, knowing that little girl's personality, that it would happen.
"I'll keep that in mind." Athena nodded. She was also aware of this fact thus she was prepared for it. Nevertheless, it seemed that the punishment would be grave since it was like this.
"Go. Your little sister is about to throw tantrums now." The Creator showed a vivid running image that could be seen by Athena.
Athena took a deep breath and said, "I'll be leaving now. Please tell His Majesty that he can visit us anytime in Immortal and we will welcome him with a heart."
"Rest assured, I'll be telling that." The Creator said. It never went back on its word.
After that, Athena entered the portal and was sent to Immortal Realm without problems. The Creator looked at the portal where Jin Rou entered and its imaginary eyes sparkled with anticipation, "I wonder how high can you soar? I'll be looking forward."

Nine Heavens. It was the name of the world Jin Rou had been transported. It was a very independent world that not the Creator didn't handle. It was a very far away world that couldn't be entered unless it was the Creator's means.
Of all the worlds in the vast multiverses, Nine Heavens was apparently the oldest world existed and perhaps the one which was created since the very start of time and chaos.
Currently, it was now a New Epoch Era, which was opened by Dao Monarch Lize who saved the world from the evil Dao Monarchs who ambitioned to get the Nine Heavens under their hands.
It was a brilliant era with peaceful motions everyday. Although the world was still having skirmishes, it wasn't major or anything that might affect the world.
Jin Rou opened his eyes and found himself in a large coffin. Before his awakening, countless memories containing battles, events, experiences ran through his mind. It was plethora that couldn't be counted. To estimate it generously, it was experiences of the person he was in for trillions of years.
The name of this body was called Han Li and he repeatedly challenged the Heavens for more than eight times. Eventually, he reached the end of his life. However, he was indignant to die since he couldn't win against the Heavens. He planned and schemed for trillions of years, used his mistakes to his advantage but he still couldn't win against the mighty and impregnable Heavens.
Supposedly, Han Li would have died now if not for the Creator's interference by putting Jin Rou's soul to Han Li's body. As a matter of fact, it looked like it was preplanned already even before Jin Rou ask the reward.
Han Li himself had already died since the soul was no longer there. But his memories of everything along with his flesh were all alive thanks to the Creator. And all of that were passed on successfully to Jin Rou.
"That Creator..." Jin Rou knew that the Creator was already prepared if Jin Rou asked for something absurd. It already prepared the stage for him to show his skills again and be pitted against mighty existences.
But the comforting thing was, Han Li was a very powerful existence that the Nine Heavens was wary of. Monarchs and emperors would have to bow down before him as many people at the same level would do anything according to Han Li's bidding. After all, he was dubbed to be the 'Immortal Master' who had nurtured many monarchs and emperors in the past.
Right now, the cultivation of Han Li was still there, fortunately. Jin Rou didn't have to go through the hell of suffering to get back to the peak.
"Now, what should I first do?" Jin Rou could feel that this body was heavy and he couldn't move a single finger. He needed a bit time to adjust to his current body. Moreover, it looked like the body had been staggered for so many years now leading to this effect. Nevertheless, Han Li was healthy and there were no problems to be wary of.
After 15 minutes, Jin Rou could finally move his finger. Another fifteen minutes, he managed to move his entire lower body including the toe fingers. After an hour or so, Jin Rou could move his entire body and exert effort to open the coffin.
"Thud!" The entire coffin broke after Jin Rou pushed something inside. It was made of the finest glass that couldn't break even after exposing to extreme fires yet it was shattered helplessly.
As Jin Rou stood up, he saw a vast sea in front of him with no islands to be seen. Thankfully, he had all the memories of Han Li thus he didn't panic. Han Li knew this place very well.
Jin Rou wasn't in a hurry and tried to adapt to the familiarity of the place.
