"Then explain," Leon stated impatiently.

'There is indeed a center floating landmass, but it was destroyed in the war; only some parts of the central floating landmass remain while the rest sunk, including the core,' the Realm Spirit explains. 

"I see… Sorry I doubted you."

'It's fine, Master… It's fine…'

The Realm Spirit didn't dare to accept Leon's apology, even if he wasn't serious about it; it just wanted to end the matter there. 

However, Leon rubbed his chin thoughtfully before he said with a sly smile, "Well, although the core isn't at the central floating landmass, there shouldn't be a problem with me exploring it anyway, right?"

'T-this…' the Realm Spirit immediately hesitated.

That brief moment of hesitation was all Leon needed to confirm his suspicion; the Realm Spirit was hiding something about the central floating landmass and didn't want him to go there.

But the more that was the case, the more he wanted to find out. 

"What exactly are you hiding there, hm?"

'Um…' 

The Realm Spirit was conflicted as if it was battling internally between whether to spill the secrets to Leon or not. 

"Well, it doesn't matter if you tell me or not. I will still find out when I head over there," Leon shrugged nonchalantly. 

The battle between the Celestials and demons ravaged the Radiant Heaven Realmship and left it desolate and barren in various parts of its subspace. 

It would be strange if only demon inheritances existed in the secret realm and not a single Celestial inheritance.

At the very least, he expects to find some Celestial Sparks—or so he hopes. 

However, the secret realm has already opened several times. As such, it wouldn't be strange even if the Celestial Sparks were already pocketed by those who came before him. 

Perhaps, the Celestial Water Spark that supplied the Infertile Plains for hundreds of years also came from the secret realm. 

Nevertheless, Leon suddenly thought of something that didn't make sense to him.

'Right, since this Radiant Heaven Realmship lost its core functions, it's most likely not in the skies of the dark continent…' 

'However, the demons had to scale a flight of heavenly stairs to enter the secret realm, while those who didn't were all dragged inside by the spatial storm… That was definitely the work of a Teleportation Array, one set up by someone…'

Leon pondered. 

It wasn't just any Teleportation Array, but a highly complex and large one as well; so complex that he cannot guess its quality. 

But given his attainment in runes, he assumes it was at least a Tier-7 Teleportation Array.

'If the Teleportation Array is really Tier-7 quality, it should be powerful enough to teleport people across local planets in the star realm…'

Leon speculated. 

"Oi, where is this Radiant Heaven Realmship located?" Leon suddenly questioned the Realm Spirit. 

However, the Realm Spirit was confused by his abrupt question. 

'What do you mean where is the Radiant Heaven Realmship is located, Master? You're inside of it—or should I say that you're inside of me?' the Realm Spirit replies abashedly.

Leon immediately felt his skin crawling with goosebumps from the way the Realm Spirit spoke in its effeminate male voice. 

"…Stop talking like that," Leon demanded with a frown.

"And I was asking about the Radiant Heaven Realmship's location in the world. Is it still within Gaia or on another planet in the Vandelheim Star Realm?"

'Master even knows the name of this star realm? No one knows that name anymore. Are you sure you're from this world, Master?' the Realm Spirit queried with surprise. 

"Nonsense. Just answer the question," Leon rolled his eyes. 

He had an entire star map etched into his soul. 

'…Yes, Master. I, the Radiant Heaven Realmship, am currently in the middle of a sea, a fair distance off the west coast of the Dark Abyss Continent.'

"So, we're still on planet Gaia and in the Boundless Sea too, huh? That explains the sea monsters in the Bone Sea… Well, that's good to know," Leon casually nodded. 

However, shortly after, he suddenly adds, "But then again, maybe not so good."

'Why is it not good?' 

"If we were at least outside of Gaia, I would be able to confirm that it's possible to use Tier-7 Teleportation Arrays to escape this world which has been sealed the Great Void Celestial Conqueror's spatial lock."

'Indeed, it's not possible to escape the Great Void Celestial Conqueror's spatial lock with a Tier-7 Teleportation Array. But if Master can fully restore my functions, I can easily bring Master out of the whole Vandelheim Star Realm.'

The Realm Spirit spoke confidently. 

However, Leon could only scoff at it with a helpless laugh and say, "Easier said than done." 

Although he does not know how much repair is needed for the Radiant Heaven Realmship, he was certain that it required a large amount of True Grandmist Energy. 

If he had to tear the world down to collect enough True Grandmist Energy for the Radiant Heaven Realmship, the world would eventually collapse and undo the spatial lock anyway.

'If I had that much True Grandmist Energy for body cultivation, it wouldn't be difficult for me to reach the peak of Body Transformation Realm and open my first gate,' Leon thought. 

Alas, dreams were nice, but reality struck differently. 

He wouldn't reduce an entire planet into True Grandmist Energy, at least not with planet Gaia, which has countless lives living on it.

Leon didn't dare to think about the accumulation of karmic sin he would get for causing the death of an entire planet thriving with life.

After shaking his head, Leon eventually descended and landed in front of the dark faes. 

"Why are you all idling here instead of cultivating?" Leon casually asked. 

"M-my lord!" 

Saresha and the other dark faes exclaimed as they shot up to their feet before pointing at the temple-like structure. 

"Look at what we found here! I think this might be a Demon King-level Tomb!" Saresha reported the dark faes' collective assumption.

"This?" 

Leon glances at the support-rune circuit building before he shakes his head with a chuckle.

"It's not a Demon King-level Tomb, but we can head in and check it out; perhaps, we will find something useful."
