This one answer made him understand a lot of things. A weapon created in the Eastern Continent ended up in the Southern Continent. It meant only one thing.

Someone had managed to steal the weapon from the Divine Church. An existence that could achieve it... Eren was certain that the Hero Academy had a hand in it.

"The weapon isn\'t complete, probably because it was stolen before the Divine Church could complete it?" Eren asked the man.

"You are correct again. If you want to complete it, you would have to go to the Western Continent yourself. But I would really advise against it, because your identity is very complicated."

"Because I am related to the Necromancer Tower?" Eren asked, already guessing the answer.

The Divine Church hated the Necromancer Tower. And he was the Heir of the Necromancer Tower. He did not have to guess the outcome if his identity was discovered there.

There were four continents in this world. And in three of these continents, he was in danger.

If his identity as a Spy was exposed, he was going to be killed in the Eastern Continent.

As a cultivator from the Eastern Continent, the Southern Continent was already his enemy. And now, even the Western Continent was his enemy.

"This guy really had a knack in creating enemies. Imagine having enemies in the continents I never visited."

Eren could only scratch the back of his head in frustration.

"With the luck I\'m having, I guess even the Northern Continent is my enemy?" He asked sarcastically.

The Author went silent in response.

Seeing his reaction, Eren had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Please tell me that\'s not the case?" he asked.

"Cough, why think about unnecessary things." The man tried to change the topic.

Eren already had his answer by now. He rubbed his forehead, feeling even more annoyed.

He had no other choice but to get stronger if he wanted to protect himself. Only by becoming the strongest, could he protect himself.

Only by becoming an existence above the Overlords could he create a world that he wanted to live in.

"You... You really couldn\'t find me any other identity to possess, could you?"

"I told you, I am not the Author. I had no hand in selection." The man clarified again, but Eren refused to believe it. He had a feeling that the man wasn\'t telling the complete truth.

"I-" he tried to speak further, but stopped instantly. He raised his head, looking towards the roof.

"It seems that the time is up. I will be taking my leave. Though I have one last piece of advice. Instead of thinking about the future, you should start thinking about the present."

He pointed at Astral.

Eren understood his meaning. He still had a big problem to solve. He understood what the Hero Academy was doing here.

They were not here to investigate a murder. If anything, they were the ones who killed that woman to take the knife. It was only when they failed to find the knife on her, they sealed the entire area.

He did not know if they could detect the knife, or they were just guessing because he was the last person to come in contact with her.

The former possibility appeared even more unlikely. It was a weapon that was capable of killing even the Overlords once completed. It should have been impossible to locate it with such ease.

If they could locate it, they should have realized that the woman did not have it in the first place. They had no reason to kill her.

He was certain that this was more of a guess from them. But even with a guess, things were a mess because of their identities.

"Best of luck, child. I hope you can..." He did not finish his sentence as his figure started disappearing. He turned into specks of light and disappeared entirely.

Eren quickly kept the knife in his inventory before the flow of time could recover.

He also took out things from his storage rings that he did not want others to see, and kept them in his inventory.

There was one other thing that he brought out from his inventory and kept in his pocket, thinking of a plan in advance.

Although it was a plan that could create a bigger mess, but for now, that was the only solution he could think of.

He did not want Xiu Ying to fight the man and get hurt.

Just as his preparations were complete, he returned to his original position. The flow of time recovered, and the world was free from these mysterious restrictions.

Even though everyone was frozen, no one knew what happened. For them, this never happened.

....

Astral came to his senses.

He did not understand why, but he felt that something was wrong with the space around him. Even though everything appeared to be normal, something felt out of place.

He wasn\'t certain if he was overthinking, but it felt like a lot of time had passed in an instant. However, he could not confirm it. It was just an innate feeling.

He gazed at Eren, who was staring back.

"Can I help you?" Eren was the first to ask.

"Hand over that thing," Astral said as he reached out his hand. "I would consider letting you live."

Eren wasn\'t a fool to believe this man\'s words. There was no way they were going to let people go, who might know about the existence of this weapon.

If this was revealed to the Western Continent, a continental war could start between the two continents. If he agreed that he had the knife, it was no different than signing a death warrant.

Even if Astral was a human before he transmigrated here, he was someone who had recovered the memories of the real Astral.

It wasn\'t hard to think that he could easily kill people. He was not tied by morality.
