Once the energy he released had completely enveloped the training ground, Ethan slightly adjusted the energy and gently moved the training ground.

"The consumption is a bit higher than expected."

Ethan quickly understood why there was an error. He had only roughly estimated the mass of the training ground before, but had overlooked environmental factors.

This small asteroid belt had various chaotic gravitational forces and magnetic fields. These all had some influence on moving the training ground. Although the various influences were not significant individually, and any single influence on Ethan could be ignored, the combined effect of all factors resulted in a noticeable loss.

"Fortunately, this consumption can continuously decrease."

As long as the training ground was in motion, the consumption would decrease. However, once it entered the atmosphere of the Purple Star, the consumption might rise to a new level again.

Leaving aside other things, he would need to use magic to counteract the Purple Star's gravity. Otherwise, if such a large training ground were to free-fall, the outcome would be hard to predict.

Even if the training ground had a sufficiently strong energy shield and didn't need to worry about that level of impact, if the Purple Star were hit by such a massive artificial celestial body, its originally perfect living environment might undergo drastic changes, possibly even becoming completely uninhabitable.

While calculating the magic consumption in his mind, he also pondered which spells could help him solve various problems.

This process of thinking did not hinder Ethan from moving the training ground.

After the energy enveloped the training ground, the entire training ground became an object Ethan was holding in his hand. He just needed to move normally in the direction of the Purple Star, and then, like carrying something, take this thing along. The training ground would obediently follow Ethan, slowly approaching the Purple Star.

The people sitting in the Milano were originally expecting to see some rather spectacular scenes. For example, Ethan flying while pushing the training ground with both hands, or moving the training ground by supporting it from below, or perhaps casting some magic in front and dragging it along.

In short, they were all expecting displays of power, and none of them had imagined a scene like this.

It just looked like Ethan was floating normally, and then the training ground, wrapped in a layer of faint light, simply walked along with Ethan by itself.

This wasn't spectacular at all.

More importantly, there was no earth-shattering effect at all. It even looked a bit boring.

"In a vacuum environment, although there are disturbances from nearby gravity and magnetic fields, the impact is relatively small. Perhaps there's no need to make a big fuss."

Everyone knew Ethan was a mage. Although Betty initially found it hard to believe, she gradually accepted it in the face of various facts.

Furthermore, she knew more about the universe's conditions, so she felt that Ethan didn't make a big show of it simply because it wasn't necessary.

"Maybe, anyway, we'll know if we follow along and see."

The Milano began moving again, and Yondu also made the same move. The two ships followed near Ethan like escort fighters, forming a stable formation as they approached the Purple Star.

Because the interior of the training ground was essentially an independent environment, external movement would not affect the inside at all. Even if there were noticeable vibrations upon entering the atmosphere, the interior of the training ground remained completely unaffected.

These external influences were perfectly absorbed by the outermost energy layer. Ethan had already known from the control room that while many pieces of equipment in this training ground were aging and at risk of breaking down at any time, this did not include the outermost energy layer generator.

It could be said that even if all other equipment in the training ground broke down, the energy layer could continue to operate for a long time. This thing was the most durable part of the entire training ground. This Empire had mastered this technology perfectly and was very confident in it, which is why they would create such artificial celestial bodies that relied solely on energy protection and had no physical shell protection.

By this time, Ethan could make slightly larger movements without worrying about startling the ordinary people inside the training ground.

As they approached the Purple Star, the training ground had already begun to accelerate due to the Purple Star's gravitational pull. Ethan initially did not interfere, only starting to control the outermost energy to slow the training ground down as it began to approach the atmosphere.

At this point, the speed could not be too fast. If the speed was too high, it would not only easily cause disaster during landing, but the excessive speed would also generate high temperatures from intense friction with the atmosphere. Both high temperatures and intense friction would consume the magic Ethan had attached to the outer layer of the training ground.

To avoid this consumption, Ethan had to control the training ground's speed, so he couldn't just watch from the sidelines as he had before.

His outstretched left hand was primarily used to concentrate his attention. The magic attached to the outermost layer of the training ground began to emit a more noticeable glow. Although these lights varied and the nature of the energy was completely different, under Ethan's control, they obediently served him, beginning to support and pull the entire training ground, preventing it from accelerating further and crashing towards the planet's surface.

With his free right hand, he continuously cast spells like Feather Fall.

At this moment, the grand scene that Quill and the others had been expecting seemed to appear. Although compared to before, Ethan only made a few more gestures, and the energy layer wrapping the training ground's exterior was still not very conspicuous. After all, the training ground's outer layer was an energy layer itself, making it difficult to truly distinguish between the two. At most, the magic Ethan released had a slight color.

But it was precisely these few gestures that completely changed the perception.

Along with Ethan's movements, the training ground's descent speed significantly slowed down. The heat generated by the intense friction also gradually dissipated as the deceleration continued and the training ground truly entered the Purple Star's atmosphere.

Especially after passing through the uppermost layers of the Purple Star, which contained various unknown substances, and entering this world filled with purple, the training ground became no different from how it was in space.

Even the magic Ethan used to wrap the training ground became less conspicuous due to the ambient color.

Now it looked like, with a wave of Ethan's hand, the immense training ground was slowly descending towards the purple sea below like a feather. After watching for a while, Quill and the others started to feel bored again.

The Milano flew back into space and stopped there to wait for Ethan. They originally thought Ethan would return soon, but unexpectedly, they waited for a good half-day before Ethan returned to the ship using a teleportation spell.

This time, Ethan did not appear abruptly. Instead, a blue ball of light flashed on the ship first as a warning before his figure appeared.

"Is everything arranged?"

"Yes!"

Actually, Ethan could have put the training ground down faster, but he specifically chose a sea area, hoping that a similar sea level height would be beneficial for the fusion of the two worlds.

Ethan couldn't guarantee his judgment was accurate. If there were any errors, that would just be bad luck for them.

At the same time, Ethan also needed to set up a permanent teleportation area inside the training ground. Otherwise, the training ground would remain completely sealed, and adventurers wouldn't be able to get out even if they knew the information.

So, in the sea area where the Guild had previously tried its best to prevent adventurers from entering, Ethan left behind a special teleportation circle.

Adventurers sailing into the area near this teleportation circle and activating the corresponding key could travel to the purple sea outside.

This teleportation circle was located inside the control room. Destroying this teleportation circle would mean destroying this place, and once the control room was destroyed, the outer energy shield would also disappear.

There was also a teleportation circle in the purple sea. The two circles were linked and allowed mutual passage.

Having done all this, Ethan specifically went to find Brent again.

Brent was commanding his new ship, sailing the Death Route, and launching an assault towards the Sea of Miracles.

Ethan just appeared abruptly on his ship, almost startling everyone around him. Even Brent was quite shocked. If he hadn't clearly seen that the person was Ethan, the long sword he was holding would have already swung out, although it wouldn't have done any good.

Seeing Ethan appear so suddenly, Brent sensitively realized that something big was about to happen. After talking with Ethan for a few moments, he found that his premonition was indeed accurate.

Ethan didn't hide anything and directly told Brent about the various conditions of the training ground and their current situation on a purple planet.

Afterwards, he roughly explained the teleportation sea area he had set up and the situation outside. He also infused the information he had gathered about the Purple Star into a recording magic stone for Brent to easily access.

This also included instructions on how to create the key to leave this world. It could be said that Ethan handed over all the information to Brent. As for whether Brent wanted to be the leader himself and lead adventurers outwards for expansion, or share the information completely, Ethan would not interfere.

"You're leaving for good, aren't you?"

Ethan told him so much information in one go, and Brent keenly felt that he might never see this miraculous young man again.

"Yes."

Brent didn't ask where Ethan was going. He realized the huge gap between himself and Ethan. If he could continue to improve his strength, perhaps he could step into Ethan's world, and they would naturally meet then.

If he stopped here for his entire life, what would be the point of asking?

Neither of them delved deeper into this topic. After explaining everything, Ethan simply waved goodbye to Brent.

Leaving Brent, Ethan returned to the Milano.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a sense of freedom and exhilaration, as if breaking free from all constraints, and couldn't help but shout out,

"Freedom!"
