Start in Terra, immortal

In front of the woman who resembled Celia, a middle-aged man was struggling to approach her.

Based on his previous speculation, the adventurer quickly stepped forward and stood between the man and "Ceria".

"What do you want?" Looking at the man in front of him, whose clothes and attire were exactly the same as those of the elderly mage, the adventurer immediately understood—the person in front of him was Mar, the middle-aged Mar.

"You are... an adventurer?" Mar chuckled. "I see, you've entered my memories. Although I knew you would eventually come here, I just didn't expect..."

"Didn't expect anything?" The adventurer frowned. He always disliked people who only said half of what they meant.

"It's nothing." Mar looked up and pointed to the woman in the sky. "You should recognize her, right?"

"Do you mean Dewdrop or Celia?"

Upon hearing this, Mar was somewhat surprised: "It seems you already know... That's right, she is Dewdrop, the largest fragment of the Great Will. However, she is currently still a pure force without self-awareness, only her appearance has taken on human form."

As he spoke, Mar spread his arms, and a huge magic circle appeared beneath his feet. A massive amount of magic power surged from Mar's body and was squeezed into the magic circle.

As a large amount of magic power poured in, the already enormous magic circle expanded again and slowly rose until it covered the sky for thousands of miles around.

Beneath the magic circle, what was originally a desolate desert has become lush and vibrant due to the magic.

Grand Forest has become what adventurers remember it to be.

However, even though the desert had turned into a forest, Mar continued to infuse magic into the magic circle. For more important than transforming the environment was concealing the power of the primordial fragments.

Beneath the magic circle, magic power overflowed, and the destination of all the magic power was the glowing girl in the air.

Layer upon layer, wave upon wave, the magic circles continued to contract into the girl's body.

Finally, the girl's overflowing light gradually subsided, and her two humanoid ears began to sharpen, her entire appearance moving closer to that of an elf.

Then, Celia, now fully transformed into an elf, slowly descended from the sky. When she landed on the ground and opened her eyes, Mar, who had been middle-aged, had become white-haired and withered.

The moment she opened her eyes, Celia recognized the person before her, her face beaming with joy: "An adventurer?"

But soon she lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.

At this moment, Mar, who had transformed into the familiar appearance of the adventurers, also stood up from the ground.

Celia's reaction just now made Alice, who was standing to the side, unable to hold back any longer: "If this is a memory replay, then why does Celia know the adventurer?"

Xilan chimed in, "Isn't it said that only incredibly powerful people can connect memories with reality? Could you explain this to us, the great mage—Mar!"

Although her name had been revealed, Mar wasn't surprised: "It seems that my later recorded memories revealed who I am. However, there's really no need to explain. As the creator, the Great Will, even a fragment stripped from His light, far surpasses any apostles you've seen. Moreover, She is the largest piece, comparable to the Transcendent One..."

Upon hearing "Transcendent," the adventurer asked, "What is a Transcendent? The administrator you left behind said he wasn't authorized to tell us about Transcendents. Can you answer that for us?"

Marna's aged yet wise gaze swept over the three of them, a complex and unfathomable light flashing in his eyes.

"The Transcendent..." he spoke slowly, his distant voice seemingly able to pierce through time and space, "They are beings who transcend the norm, or rather, they are the embodiment of a certain 'will' and 'rule' of a great will."

He paused, seemingly organizing his thoughts to make it easier for the three people before him to understand: "They... are more like living laws of the universe, possessing powers that are somewhat close to the Great Will. They don't usually interfere directly with the world unless... a massive distortion or crisis occurs that could shake the very foundations of the universe."

The adventurer pondered, "Like... the administrator?"

"You could draw an analogy like that," Mar nodded. "They are basically administrators created by the Great Will to assist in managing the universe."

"Well..." the adventurer hesitated, "compared to the Transcendent, that one..."

Although the adventurer didn't explicitly say who "that person" was, Alice and Xilan both knew that he was referring to Rosso.

Mar, of course, understood immediately: "That one..." His gaze suddenly turned to the distance, "...is a being even more powerful than the Transcendent One!"

"More powerful than the Transcendent?" Xilan stared in disbelief. "Doesn't that mean He can rival the Great Will?"

"Perhaps. After all, I have never seen the Great Will, but Lord Rosso does indeed possess his own world. In a sense, He is the Great Will of that world."

It's easy to tell that Mar's words were full of admiration for that person.

The adventurer was now even more perplexed. A being comparable to a great will would actually target an unknown nobody. He couldn't understand it, he just couldn't understand it! He shook his head repeatedly, occasionally letting out a sigh.

"You don't need to overthink it. He's optimistic about your future, not your present," Mar comforted the adventurer, watching him shake his head. "You just need to keep moving forward and constantly strengthen yourself, just like you said in the Underworld."

"Alright, you should go to Volume One now."

The three were somewhat puzzled: "Isn't there a second volume?"

Mar smiled. "I'm also in the second volume. Since I've seen you here, there's no need to go to the second volume. Let's go straight to the first volume. Lord Rosso already knows you're here. If you have any questions, you can ask Him; He might be willing to answer them..."

As soon as they finished speaking, the three of them found themselves back in the Memory Library.

Coming to her senses, and noticing the boy's attire was similar to that of the middle-aged man, Xilan whispered to the two of them, "Don't you think his style is very similar?"

Alice sighed, her eye twitching slightly, and her gaze fell on the administrator who had flown to her side. She was used to him always whispering in a normal voice—but she hadn't expected him to be so oblivious.

west Lan didn't notice that the person he was commenting on had come up next to him, and was still talking to himself: "He's definitely Mar when he was little! I never thought he was so..." He seemed to have trouble finding a way to describe him for a moment, and after a long pause, he finally uttered two words, "He deserves a beating..."

"Ahem!" The administrator cleared his throat, a helpless yet amused expression on his face. "Talking about people behind their backs, and so loudly at that, isn't a good habit, Mr. Xilan."

west Lan froze abruptly, her neck stiffening as she turned to see the administrator standing right in front of her. An awkward smile instantly spread across her face: "Ahaha... this... Administrator, when did you get here? I was just... just now I was praising you... uh... lively! Yes, lively!"
