After a series of eerily welcoming gestures from their fellow classmates, they met an incarnation of Senior Su.
Senior Su's true body was within this plane, but they could not see it, for Senior Su's true body needed to stay at the core of this group of planes, suppressing the hostile Divine System here.
This bizarre group of planes, resembling an octopus with its numerous piecemeal and small planes stacked upon one another, was not the senior's Divine Realm but an area of planes that the senior was in the midst of conquering. A Divine System formed by several Native Deities had occupied this group, and the senior was contending with this minor Divine System for control over the group.
Using his absolute strength, Senior Su had occupied the central core plane of the group, driving the Native Deities from the main plane to take refuge in the depths of this tentacle-like group of planes.
