Chapter 41 – Journey to Octaplanet
The morning was bright, but the air over the Cultivation Association's headquarters was heavy with anticipation.
Chairman Guo stood in front of a massive teleportation array carved into the ground — glowing with countless runes that pulsed with spiritual light.
"Shin, this array will connect directly to the Octaplanet Capital — Celestial Dawn City," Guo explained. "Once you arrive, you will be under the supervision of the Eight Commanders of the Octaplanet Alliance. Be careful. Even though you are powerful, there are experts there who can crush mountains with a thought."
Shin nodded calmly, gripping the Abyssal Void Sword.
"If they are stronger, good. That just means I can grow even faster."
Guo chuckled softly.
"You really are a monster."

The Teleportation
The runes lit up, filling the air with crackling spiritual energy. Shin stepped into the array, and the world twisted. Space folded, light stretched, and in the blink of an eye—
BOOM!
He arrived on Octaplanet.

First Impression
The first thing Shin felt was the spiritual density — several times richer than Earth's. Every breath he took seemed to nourish his body and soul.
Before him stretched a city beyond imagination. Towering jade walls, floating immortal palaces, spiritual beasts soaring in the sky, and cultivators flying on swords.
"This… is the Octaplanet?" Shin muttered.
"Yes," a voice answered.
Shin turned and saw a tall, armored man with silver hair and a calm, majestic aura.
"I am Commander Ren of the Eight Commanders," the man said. "Welcome to Celestial Dawn City, Luo Shin."

Other Geniuses
Shin followed Commander Ren into a vast hall, where dozens of powerful young cultivators stood. Some radiated killing intent, some radiated pride, and others looked at Shin with curiosity — and a little disdain.
Commander Ren spoke:
"These are the chosen geniuses of the Octaplanet Alliance. You are now one of them. But know this — strength decides status here. If you want respect, you will have to earn it."
One of the geniuses scoffed.
"This is the human from Earth? I heard he killed a Demon Lord, but he doesn't look like much."
Shin just smiled faintly.
Soon enough, you'll know who I am.

Mission Briefing
Commander Ren gestured, and a large star map appeared.
"The God Alliance has been sighted near the Dark Nebula. We suspect they are planning another large-scale attack. You will all be trained, tested, and prepared for war."
Shin's eyes sharpened.
"God Alliance… we'll meet soon."
