Sam is currently being beaten up by his three friends, even though nothing is lethal, they are still beating him up.

He looked at them as they attacked from all three sides and couldn't help shaking his head.

Even the obedient and good Watt is also retaliating big time.

To be honest, he did expect that some form of scolding or beating would be waiting for him, but he didn't expect it to be this intense.

As soon as he yelled at the top of the tower, the whole city was resounded with his voice, and his three friends who became busy all ran towards the tower. They also heard the reports from the guards that they saw Sky flying into the city.

Sam expected some sort of warm welcome first or even a group hug. But the next thing he knew he was dragged into a training room inside the tower and they are attacking him with the pretext of testing themselves after a long time.

Sam also didn't resist much as he let them hit him as they liked.

After an hour of the constant onslaught, everyone is panting and they called for a truce, and then came the group hug. Even though Sam is not extremely fond of these things, he felt like they deserved this.

Then they went to Mackey's restaurant and started drinking and eating. Even Mackey felt a bit emotional after seeing Sam and just shut the restaurant for the rest of the day and started whipping out all his new dishes.

Everyone in the restaurant also didn't make a fuss as most of them are locals and they only greeted Sam with smiles as they left.

The two Yakshas and one Naga are trying their best to blend in, but they couldn't. They didn't expect they would come to a place where only humans exist.

But the thing that surprised them most is the respect of people for Sam.

From a common citizen to a guard of the city to high-level cultivators are all respectful towards him.

Sam just let them follow for now as he had a lot of catching up to do with his friends.

They ate and drank with no care at all.

After that fun time, they went back and they started explaining official matters, he was actually surprised to find out that there are so many breakthroughs in the past year and a half.

There are more than two thousand Nascent stage cultivators now and thousands of Grand realm cultivators, followed by even more Great realm cultivators. They recruited a lot more Novice stage cultivators.

As for Pre-transcendent stage cultivators, they are in hundreds and even the transcendent stage cultivators are around thirty. This surprised him quite a lot and the most crucial part is there is another consummate realm cultivator and that guy is Adrian.

This is an unexpected surprise.

The most delightful thing though was the list of patents and new inventions in the school.

The students and lecturers all got some significant new inventions and patents were registered in all kinds of categories. Equipment, inscriptions, formations, weapons, construction techniques, forging techniques, tailoring, embroidery, cooking, and even massage techniques.

Sam must say he was extremely impressed by the progress of the school.

The revenue also increased as they have the income from the rest of the parks in the other continents.

There are more than a hundred billion spirit stones left for him and it didn't even include the revenue from the other continents.

For the next few days, Sam got busy as he gave out half of the resources he got from Naga Loka to the School and the research departments.

There is one thing, he made a priority in researching and that is a pill recipe he got from Vronti. Vronti is actually a place with no Miasma. So, the Yaksha born there are not born with poison immunity, so they developed a pill from the resources of Union dimension to visiting the remaining planets, Sam wanted to create an injectable serum with this pill as the base.

After arranging everything, he led his three new employees to the school.

He introduced Chatur to the department of marine combat and formations. He didn't give any explicit instructions on what he should learn, he just had to focus on learning more about water element energy.

As for the two Yaksha, they are new instructors of the combat division and assassination subdivision.

After sending them all, Sam was surprised to see someone running over to him.

Sirona, that beautiful yet innocent maiden ran towards him as if she wanted to jump into his arms with clear delight in her eyes.

But she seemed to have thought of something and halted right before him and spoke in an excited tone.

Before he knew it, she grabbed his hand and dragged him to a training room.

She took out a few puppets and started excitingly explaining everything to him. She looked like a teenage girl talking about her idols. But she is talking about her work.

"Can you not leave so suddenly and stay away for so long?" She asked in a soft tone.

"Why?"

"Everyone here is dumb, they don't understand what I make even if I explain to them. So, there is no improvement as there is no one who could point out my mistakes."

Sam smiled. He looked at the puppets that are now implemented with many mechanisms that are created by the knowledge he added in the library, there are many modern elements in this. Sam explained a lot of places where she could improve and promised that even if he left, he wouldn't stay away for so long.

Sirona smiled and this is the first time Sam saw her like that, he also smiled and left the place.

He took the space gate and went to the tempest valley. It's about time he got some answers and he is going to talk to the Old Beast about this.

When Raiju came to this valley along with Sam, he jumped excitedly and ran, Sam followed him with a smile and met with the Old Beast.

"How are you doing? Is your trip to Naga Loka good?" The Old beast asked.

"Nah, it is boring. There is no challenge and there is not even a bit of fun. I killed so many people but there is no sense of achievement in winning that war. It is extremely burdening."

"Boring?" That is something I didn't expect.

"What can I do? I don't know what happened to me when I was there as the time passed and the day of my return journey got closer and closer, I had this conflicting feeling. I don't know to react. I couldn't even identify the trigger of these emotions. Help me sort this out will you?"

Sam asked as he looked at the Old beast in the eyes.

"Just tell what you did since you left for Naga Loka." When the Old beast asked this, Sam immediately started recounting every situation.

After hearing everything, the Old beast asked.

"What was your biggest attraction to come back, the biggest factor that made you desire your return?"

Sam thought for a bit and said.

"My friends."

"The biggest thought that made you not want to come here and return to your normal life as the head of your organization?"

Sam fell into confusion, these are the contradictions he had in his mind and he thought deeply, but he didn't come to the conclusion all these days, because he looked at the question the wrong way.

Now that the Old beast talked to him, he came to an answer.

"Because it is too boring?"

Sam was not sure himself.

"Is this planet boring from the start?"

"No, I enjoyed my journey to reach this position quite a bit. I received a lot of suppression and faced a lot of obstacles that is why I was so satisfied when I established the City and the School. It feels like it became boring recently."

Old beast chuckled a bit and said.

"There is nothing wrong with you My boy. You are just getting bored because of the lack of challenge. There nothing left for you on the planet, you have power, authority, and respect. You have everything this planet can offer and can get anything you want as long as you desire.

But it seems like that feeling is not as satisfying to you as reaching that position that could grant you that feeling.

All you want is the adventure, the fun of exploring and growing.

As for the trigger, there is no single or particular trigger for this, you were gradually dragged into those thoughts.

You visited all these planets in Naga Loka, with different terrains, with different lands, different people, different creatures, different rulers and every place you went you experienced and thought of one common thing and that is question yourself with 'what would I do if I need to develop here?'

This question might have come to your mind in other ways, but you definitely thought like and this gradually made you realize that you lack all those in your current Normal life.

You want that kick off the journey and you want that journey to be with your friends, if you ask me, this is easy to solve. After all, you have dimensional drifter."

That evening Sam left the valley after he did a lot of thinking and made a decision. He came back to the city and gave an order to his friends.

"You have one year. In this time breakthrough to Pre-transcendent stage and find your successors for your current positions in the city. Train them however you want, but they have to fill your place in this city."
