Time flies, in the blink of an eye, it's already the day to open the secret realm.

The entrance to the secret realm is surrounded by ruins, and looking ahead, all you can see is barren land with no vegetation, not even a single tree.

Teams dispatched by various countries have all arrived near the secret realm. Although there is enmity between countries, they will not choose to go to war before entering the secret realm. This will only benefit the "fisherman".

The White Stork Empire has sent a group of elite knights and mages, led respectively by the Holy Knight Sichu Dong and the Headmaster of Tiandu Academy, Griffin.

Iris could see the diamond behind Headmaster Griffin at a glance.

Starlight was dressed in a black vest, white shirt, a helmet on her left shoulder, and light blue lace decorations on both sleeves. Her wrists were wrapped in blue striped wristbands. She wore a blue skirt that exposed her fair and slender legs, reaching above her knees.

She had long golden hair tied with a black ribbon, and two strands of hair fell from the temples, emitting a charming glow in the sunlight.

Their gazes met, and Starlight slightly nodded as a greeting.

The Sun Moon Empire sent four people: Qizhou, Shizhi, Iris, and Jilu Leng.

If there were any major moves, it would inevitably bring trouble to Starlight's family, so she could only be polite in this way and not give any clue to others.

"Who were you greeting just now, Starlight?" Elaine noticed Starlight's gesture next to her and asked curiously.

"Hehe... It's nothing, just a little soreness in my neck," Starlight smiled and said.

Upon hearing this, Elaine tilted her head slightly and looked at Starlight's neck, saying, "Let me massage it for you."

Before Starlight could refuse, Elaine raised her right hand and gently kneaded Starlight's neck, her movements very gentle.

A cool touch penetrated Starlight's skin, making her uncontrollably shiver. "It's so cold."

"Of course, my hands are mixed with ice magic," Elaine said with a smug expression upon hearing Starlight's words. She smiled and asked, "Feeling better now?"

"Mhmm," Starlight nodded.

There was no other choice for Starlight but to go along with the act.

"It doesn't hurt anymore, that's good," Elaine withdrew her right hand and said softly.

"Thank you," Starlight slightly bowed and thanked.

The Beastman Empire was led by the bear-shaped Beastman Grom and the fox-shaped Beastman Galrak.

Grom was the crown prince of the Beastman Empire. He was over 2 meters tall, with tough skin and great strength. He was an incredibly fierce and strong giant, but his personality was rough, which perfectly matched the Beastmen's worship and pursuit of strength.

Grom was proud but actually low-key. He took care of his younger siblings very well as well.

Galrak, the second prince of the Beastman Empire, was not as ferocious and strong as Grom, but rather elegant and refined. He loved human culture, enjoyed reading and studying, and was very friendly towards humans. He had once been apprenticed to a human sage, learning human writing and language, as well as various rules in human society. After the teacher's passing, Galrak returned to the Beastman Empire.

Galrak had extremely keen observation skills and an intelligence that could be considered terrifying. He was hailed as the most outstanding sage in the history of the Beastman Empire.

The Silver Moon Empire's members were all wearing mech battle suits, carrying a silver-white spear on their backs, with a straight posture and a chilling aura.

More than a hundred young men and women wearing mech battle suits, led by a man in a gorgeous purple robe and a bamboo hat.

His name was Dios, the second prince of the Silver Moon Empire. His identity was distinguished and his status was lofty.

This person was extremely jealous. He always took pride in his own status, but was extremely hypocritical in certain aspects. As long as he obtained the treasures from this secret realm, he would undoubtedly be able to secure the position of the empire's sole heir.

A sinister curve appeared at the corner of Dios' mouth, and greed, desire, and longing were hidden deep in his eyes.

"Huh? Why haven't the Blood Clan arrived yet?" someone murmured quietly in the crowd.

"It's better if they don't come. With one less Blood Clan, we can snatch these treasures better!"

As soon as the words fell, Lilia and others appeared in the sky, causing everyone to look up in awe.Everyone present was astonished, why would the Queen of the Blood personally come here? Could it be that the core of the secret realm has fallen into the hands of the Blood Clan again?

Lilia and the others flapped their wings and landed in the center of the secret realm. They scanned the crowd and their gaze stopped at Iris. Lilia smiled and said, "My daughter... oh no... I should call you Qirou, right, Qizhou Guoshi?"

"Of course. She is my sister. Lilia, don't you dare lay a finger on her again!" Qizhou responded coldly.

"Hehe, the world is not blind. Who's right or wrong, as long as you and I know in our hearts." Lilia glanced disdainfully at Qizhou and said with contempt.

In other words, catch Qirou and the reward is yours.

Everyone present could see the connection between Qirou and Lilia. They had the same appearance and it wasn't difficult to guess that Qirou was Lilia's daughter. Qirou was probably using a pseudonym, her real name being Iris.

What puzzled everyone was why Lilia, as Qirou's mother, would issue a warrant for her daughter. In normal circumstances, the Queen of the Blood Clan would only produce one daughter, showing how prestigious the position of the Princess of the Blood was.

Everyone had made up their minds that it would be impossible to obtain the core of the secret realm after entering. They would rely on luck to get whatever they could and then capture Iris to mitigate their losses.

There were also those who planned to kill Iris. Without an heir, the Blood Clan would not be far from decline.

"Don't even think about it!" one of them warned.

"If the Princess of the Blood dies, the Queen of the Blood knows that the country will face decline. Won't she fight us to the death? Lilia has the ability to slaughter all of us humans, and we will suffer severe consequences."

"Yes, that's right," a male mage with yellow hair chimed in.

"Moreover, Lilia has a brother. Although he is dead, he apparently had a daughter as well. It wouldn't be a problem for her to succeed the throne."

"If you can't get the core, students can keep what they seize for themselves, everyone else must turn it in.

Remember! Don't be greedy.

This person called Iris is likely your former classmate, Night White. The abilities described on the warrant are almost identical to his. Black Flames, White Python, Dark Shadow System Magic.

He is the designated heir and should help as much as possible. If not, then forget it." Sichudong looked at Iris in the distance, pondered for a moment, and spoke.

"Yes." Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Lu, we have done all we can. After all, she is a member of the Blood Clan. As for the Black Lock being taken away, it's for the best. This way, our talented children from White Stork won't have to sacrifice their lives." Sichudong looked up at the sky and muttered to herself.

Davis, Devon, Minel, the three of them were also feeling uneasy. Their former good friend suddenly changed gender, becoming a girl and turning out to be a princess of the Blood Clan. How could they accept it? For some reason, she went from being a princess to being a wanted criminal.

Other countries would not harm Iris's life, at most they would exchange her for the reward. They feared Lilia, after all, she was young and the Blood Clan had the power to wipe out an entire race. Perhaps Lilia would act with her daughter's injury as an excuse to declare war on other countries.

The Blood Clan was so cunning, everyone knew that very well.

Accompanied by the grinding sound of stone, a huge stone gate slowly rose from the ruins. The gate was adorned with many mysterious and peculiar patterns, exuding a taste of ancient and ageless history, as if countless years were flowing, giving a sense of the sediment and weight of time.

In the center of the stone gate was a fist-sized crystal blue pearl, emitting a dazzling light, as clear as crystal.

The surface of the pearl was covered with intricate and complex patterns, seemingly inconspicuous, but upon careful observation, one would discover that each pattern contained magical power.

Liran Day looked at the stone gate in front of him, feeling an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had seen something from a long time ago.

Lilia narrowed her eyes, staring at the intricate and complex patterns on the stone gate, and thought to herself, "This craftsmanship is quite ingenious. It seems that the Blood Clan's history has not seen such carving techniques before! The craftsmanship of the dwarves has reached its peak, but it still can't compare to this pearl."Lilya was about to step forward and examine the pearl, but Liran Day quickly stopped her, saying, "Sister, don't touch this thing. It feels strange to me. Let's let people from other countries try it out first before making a decision!"

Lilya furrowed her brow and pondered for a moment before nodding.

The people from the other countries saw this and quickly stepped forward, wanting to give the pearl a try.

One person reached out to touch the blue pearl, and suddenly a strong pulling force was felt. Caught off guard, the mage was pulled into the stone gate and disappeared.

After that, one after another, the Orcish Empire entered, followed by the Crescent Empire, and then the White Stork Empire.
