Tyler was a transmigrated person with knowledge of the cultivation world.

He did have pride, but that would only amount to one cent.

His attitude towards the Fire Empress was only to show her that he didn’t mind staying in this realm forever.

Because he feared that without binding vows, the Fire Empress would truly cause trouble for him and the people around him.

Now that his teacher had raised this point, Tyler realized this was the opportunity he was waiting for.

But he still had to act, and it couldn’t be less convincing than before.

"Teacher, you know my condition. As long as she makes the binding vow not to harm my family and me, I will gladly cultivate."

"I don’t mind dying, but I want to live."

Hearing his words, his teacher immediately launched a sword energy out of his body and appeared in her human form.

She had a serious look on her face as she asked.

"I will convince her to make this binding vow for your reassurance."

"Remember, Tyler, every woman in this tower has some kind of resentment towards the tower and you."

"I know. It’s normal for them to have this kind of resentment. But I will not allow them to harm my family before I die."

Tyler replied.

This was one truth that hadn’t changed.

It was an act to show his pride. It was an act to show his rebellious attitude. Even his lustful nature was an act.

But his concern for his family wasn’t an act. After seeing what she did with a small portion of her energy, he was truly worried about his family.

He didn’t mind having a harem of nine of the most beautiful women in the universe. He didn’t mind being used as a dual cultivation tool.

As long as his family wasn’t harmed, he could do anything.

Because after seeing Porty, he realized how lightly he was taking his blessings.

Whether it was his powerful parents or that technique, he would truly be someone like Porty without them.

"I understand."

Looking at his eyes, Murong Xue sighed.

She truly didn’t know what was true and what was false. Although Tyler tried his best to hide his intentions, she was a woman who had seen everything.

She had gone through several schemes, she had gone through several betrayals, and she had gone through understanding the world.

Because of this, she couldn’t distinguish what was right and what was wrong.

Tyler’s attitude was truly one of a kind. It’s like he was fickle, changing his intentions constantly.

But there was a strange reassurance about him that he wouldn’t change his mind.

And, it was true. Tyler’s intentions hadn’t changed, it had just evolved.

Whether it was stopping the war with fishman or starting a battle with two families, it was all to keep this city safe.

Whether it was forcing the Fire Empress to make a binding vow or showing off his pride and intentions, it was all to keep his family safe.

How could he allow a literal exploding nuclear bomb near his family?

He understood her. His teacher didn’t need to say any of that.

She was filled with resentment. His teacher’s explanation only made it clear why she had so much resentment.

But she had resentment, didn’t mean he had to accept that resentment.

It was her problem. She should solve it herself.

Until she solved this problem, he wouldn’t allow her near his family.

"I will convince her to make a binding vow. You had just gone through a battle. You should go to sleep."

She said before returning to his body.

Tyler went to bed and yawned heavily.

He was tired. During his battle with Porty, he was injured in multiple body parts.

Although they were light injuries, and his mana was also healing him, he still felt a loss of blood.

But thinking about his opponent, he was truly glad that his team finished their battles earlier.

Otherwise, he would’ve been in a life-or-death situation once again.

He tried to sleep, but he couldn’t. Porty’s face kept reappearing in his mind, especially his face that was full of blood and resentment.

’Porty! Thank you for awakening me! Without you, I wouldn’t even have realized just how blessed I was.’

’I truly have everything. Women, resources, talent, and even a golden finger. It’s like I am a protagonist.’

’Well, it doesn’t matter if I am a protagonist or not. Everyone is the protagonist of their lives.’

’But thank you! I understand how I should live my life. Since I am given so much from the beginning, I am not going to waste any of that.’

’I will cultivate harder, Porty. If I don’t die, I promise you. I will remove the limiters placed on humanity.’

As he made that oath in his mind, Tyler slowly felt the burden being lifted from his mind as he drifted into sleep.

————————

Inside the tower,

Murong Xue appeared on the first floor. It didn’t look anything like a prison hall.

Instead, it was a massive garden with a gigantic mansion at its center. There was a large pool on the side and several trees on the other side.

Near the pool, a tall and white woman was sunbathing in her white bikini dress.

She wore a white hat over her face. Every corner of her body was flawless like a diamond.

"You don’t need to convince me. I will not ask him for anything."

Before Murong Xue even got closer, the Fire Empress spoke.

"Jenny, you should look at me and let go of that pride. If it were a month ago, I wouldn’t even be able to leave my floor."

"But now, by preserving most of my life force on the seventh floor, I can move around the tower and even leave the room."

"Lady Miko has already called it her destiny. He might be as weak as an ant, but a single conversation helped me improve."

"He is weaker than an ant."

Jenny replied with a cold tone.

Murong Xue couldn’t help but feel speechless.

"You can’t compare the ants from God Realm with the ants from the Lower Realm. Listen, Jenny, you are the weakest in this tower."

When she said that, Xue felt a strong fire burning around her.

Although this fire didn’t affect her or the pool or even the mansion, its temperature was more than a million degrees.

"Am I wrong?"

She asked.

"You did reach the peak of this universe, but even against the one on the second floor, you can’t win."

"That’s because your comprehension of Fire Dao is weak. Your physical capabilities are weak."

"Your mana isn’t refined enough, and your divine techniques are not diverse enough."

Hearing her words, Jenny felt like exploding.

She had never felt this miserable in her life, but deep down, she knew Xue was right.

That’s why she didn’t explode.

She slowly moved her white hat, and her peerless face came into view. Her hair was red, and so were her pupils.

Her eyebrows were straight, and her lips were red as if she wore lipstick. Those lips parted as her voice rang.

"You want me to beg him?"

"Not to beg him but to simply talk to him! Tyler isn’t your average eighteen-year-old guy."

"He is certainly not a reincarnation of a powerful cultivator, but he knows a lot about cultivation and has seen powerful cultivators."

"When he merged with the tower, the tower tried to expel him, but it couldn’t. So, there must be some power at play."

"I didn’t give this a thought before, but now that I am thinking about it, what kind of power could force this tower?"

"As a matter of fact, even we are almost unkillable in the universe. So, who killed the creator of this tower?"

"Do you want to destroy everything and become a Dimensional God with no chance of progression?"

"Or, do you want to accept my offer and get a chance to explore this mystery? There might be a bigger world outside our universe."

"Don’t you want to see it?"
