"I can't push it?

"Lin Yuan frowned.

The power he used to push the Heavenly Gate wasn't his full strength.

But what kind of power did Lin Yuan have?

He was a stage-50 Witch Ancestor, and at every stage, he was incredibly powerful.

Even if he used just one-tenth or one-hundredth of his strength, it would be enough to crush beings like the Divine King and other rank-eleven legendary lifeforms.

Yet, he couldn't push open the Heavenly Gate?

"Something's wrong.

"Lin Yuan withdrew his hands and carefully observed the Heavenly Gate in front of him.

The power he used earlier was thousands of times greater than any native Witch Emperor or Witch Ancestor, but it couldn't budge the Heavenly Gate.

So how had the native Witch Emperors and Witch Ancestors managed to open the Heavenly Gate in the past and enter?

Lin Yuan's thoughts wandered for a moment, and then he decided to try pushing the gate again.

He placed his palms flat on the gate, calmed his mind, and lightly closed his eyes.

"Open.

"The previously calm Lin Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, and a terrifying aura erupted.

The surrounding air seemed to freeze, and the intense blood energy surged like a vast ocean.

The entire mountain peak seemed to tremble, as if it might collapse under Lin Yuan's overwhelming aura at any moment.

This was Lin Yuan's full power.

It was the first time in two hundred years that Lin Yuan had gone all out.

Since reaching stage-20 Witch Ancestor, Lin Yuan hadn't fully unleashed his strength because there hadn't been any opponents worthy of his full effort.

Rumble.

His terrifying blood energy boiled like molten lava.

Below the mountain peak, the souls of the many powerful beings watching trembled uncontrollably.

Lin Yuan's aura now was completely different from when he had fought the Divine King earlier.

It was many times more terrifying.

"What kind of power is this?

""That human 'Blood Rain' didn't even use his full strength when suppressing the Divine King.

""Not only did the Divine King and the six other rank-eleven beings get crushed, but they didn't even force the human's true power!

"The shock in the hearts of the powerful beings from various clans was unimaginable.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed that anyone could exert such power in this dimensionally-suppressive two-dimensional world.

Ɍά?Ô?Ës̩Especially a human evolver.

"Still can't push it?

"Before the Heavenly Gate, Lin Yuan had used his full power, but the gate remained motionless.

"With the power I'm using now, I could pierce through this entire mountain, yet I still can't open this gate?

"Lin Yuan found it absurd.

If the Heavenly Gate were truly that difficult to open, how could the native Witch Emperors and Witch Ancestors have managed to push it open in the past?

Could the Heavenly Gate treat different beings differently?

Did it have a separate standard for the beings from the various clans and the native ones?

Even if there was a difference in standards, Lin Yuan's current strength should have reached the threshold.

"I refuse to believe that with my power, I can't open this Heavenly Gate.

"Lin Yuan's expression turned serious.

He had already used up all his normal means at full strength.

The only way to further increase his power was to use his trump card—methods that could only be used in desperate situations.

The Milky Way's Main Star.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.

What happened in the two-dimensional world was no different from what his true body experienced.

"Divine ability: Enhancement!

"Lin Yuan softly uttered the words, and instantly, deep within his body, the mark of the "Enhancement" divine art began to spread, enveloping his flesh, soul, and everything.

In the two-dimensional world, extraordinary powers were suppressed, including physical divine abilities.

Thus, Lin Yuan's Yang Primordial Spirit in the two-dimensional world could not use any physical divine abilities.

However, while the Yang Primordial Spirit couldn't use them, Lin Yuan's true body outside the two-dimensional world could.

Once the "Enhancement" divine ability was activated, everything about Lin Yuan would be strengthened tenfold—his physical body, soul, mind, and will.

And even though the Yang Primordial Spirit's physical body and soul were cut off in the two-dimensional world, its mind and will remained intact.

In other words, once Lin Yuan's true body activated the "Enhancement" divine art, the mind and will of his Yang Primordial Spirit in the two-dimensional world would increase tenfold.

While an increase in willpower wouldn't directly enhance his strength, it would allow for a more precise control of his power, enabling him to unleash even more devastating force.

Why did Rank-eleven beings from the various clans rise and grow faster than Rank-nine or Rank-ten beings?

Part of it was their higher level, but their strong willpower was also crucial.

Thus, the tenfold increase in Lin Yuan's willpower would significantly boost his strength.

Rumble.

As Lin Yuan's willpower surged tenfold, the blood energy burning around him grew even more intense, and a more terrifying aura began to swirl around him.

At that moment, the many powerful beings watching from mid-mountain were utterly speechless.

Lin Yuan now seemed more majestic than the towering Tianshan itself, as though he was about to break through all the limitations of the two-dimensional world and escape.

Moments later.

The overwhelming aura that Lin Yuan had released slowly receded.

Even after using the "Enhancement" divine art, he still couldn't move the Heavenly Gate, let alone open it.

When Lin Yuan used the "Enhancement" divine art, he would experience a brief period of weakness afterward.

However, the powerful beings watching from the mountainside couldn't see this weakness at all.

Lin Yuan merely dropped from stage-50 to stage-45 Witch Ancestor temporarily, and that made no difference to those onlookers.

As for his true body and his Yin Primordial Spirit outside the two-dimensional world, they weren't in any danger and remained unharmed.

"Still can't open it?

"Lin Yuan stood before the gate, lost in thought.

If he couldn't open it even after using all his means, who else in this two-dimensional world could?

"At stage-50 Witch Ancestor, I'm equivalent to a stage-60 or 70 being from the other clans.

With the 'Enhancement' divine art, I'm likely comparable to stage-90 or even stage-100.

"Lin Yuan stared at the gate in front of him, contemplating.

Below the mountain peak.

The powerful beings from the various clans finally recovered from their shock.

Soon, some realized something.

Lin Yuan had still not opened the Heavenly Gate.

"What does this mean?

""Even with the strength of the human 'Blood Rain,' he can't open the Heavenly Gate?

""Impossible.

If he can't open it, how did those native Witch Emperors and Witch Ancestors open it in the past?

"The powerful beings were in an uproar.

Though most of them had nothing to do with entering the gate, they couldn't help feeling a deep sense of despair.

If the Heavenly Gate couldn't be opened, what was the point of their efforts over the past three hundred years—of their desperate cultivation and power growth?

All the hunting and treasure-seeking they'd done would be meaningless if they couldn't take their treasures out of the two-dimensional world.

"If even the human 'Blood Rain' can't open the gate, I might as well abandon this clone.

"Some powerful beings chose to let go of their clones, accepting the core loss they would suffer.

No one wanted to endure such losses, but if there was truly no hope of leaving, it might be better to abandon their clones and find peace of mind.

Outside the painting.

The expressions of the ultimate beings were grim.

"The Heavenly Gate can't be opened?

""Does this mean there's no hope of leaving?

""How is this possible?

The Heavenly Gate could be opened in the past.

Why not now?

"The ultimate beings discussed among themselves.

They had deduced that the Heavenly Gate in the two-dimensional world would be the path connecting the inside and outside.

But they hadn't expected that the Heavenly Gate would be unopenable.

"Xia Qin…" The ultimate beings of the Starry Sky Alliance and the Prison Clan turned to look at Xia Qin, their faces changing.

Earlier, they had paid a heavy price to buy the lives of the Divine King and the other Rank-eleven beings from Xia Qin.

But now, if the Heavenly Gate couldn't be opened, it meant their payment had been for nothing.

Without a way out, the fate of the Divine King would still be death, whether by being killed or by old age.

"The deal is done.

Are you thinking of backing out?

" Xia Qin glanced at the other ultimate beings, but he didn't feel the usual satisfaction from his bargain.

Because if the Heavenly Gate couldn't be opened, it wouldn't just mean the end for the Divine King.

It would also mean the end for Lin Yuan.

If the gate couldn't be opened, and Lin Yuan remained trapped in the two-dimensional world, unable to slow down time, he would be dead in ten to twenty thousand years.

And in the primary universe, that would only be one or two thousand years.

Compared to Lin Yuan's potential core loss, Xia Qin would have preferred to forego the deal entirely.

"Everyone, the fact that the Heavenly Gate can't be opened is likely related to the powerful beings who were drawn into the two-dimensional world, which caused certain changes inside the 'blank paper.

'"At that moment, a single-horned ultimate being spoke up, offering their speculation.

The other ultimate beings nodded slightly.

They had the same thought.

Otherwise, how could the Witch Emperors of the past open the Heavenly Gate, while even a being as powerful as the human 'Blood Rain' was now blocked outside?

"Let's wait a little longer.

There might still be changes.

"The ultimate beings continued to observe the enormous "painting" from a distance.

The ultimate beings of the Starry Sky Alliance had no way to cancel their deal with Xia Qin now.

They had already sent their treasures.

It was too late to regret it.

Taking back those treasures would require an all-out war against human civilization, which wouldn't benefit anyone.

Even if a war did break out, it would harm them more than it would help.

In the Two-Dimensional World.

Lin Yuan stood before the Heavenly Gate but didn't try to push it again.

If even the "Enhancement" divine art couldn't move the gate, trying again would be futile.

"Is this gate targeting me specifically?

"Lin Yuan thought to himself.

This speculation seemed far-fetched, but it was something he had to consider.

Human civilization's evolvers.

Xuan Yuan Duo and the other Rank-eleven evolvers were also puzzled as to why the gate hadn't opened.

At that moment.

A voice suddenly sounded in Xuan Yuan Duo's ear.

"Xuan Yuan Duo, come here.

""Yes.

" Xuan Yuan Duo immediately realized that it was Lin Yuan calling her.

She quickly made her way to the gate.

"Lord Blood Rain.

" Standing before Lin Yuan, Xuan Yuan Duo bowed slightly, feeling a bit nervous.

Before today, Xuan Yuan Duo had respected Lin Yuan, but it was the respect one Rank-eleven being had for another.

She thought that while Lin Yuan might be stronger than her, the gap wouldn't be too wide.

But now, after witnessing Lin Yuan crush the Divine King and the other Rank-eleven beings and seeing his terrifying power, Xuan Yuan Duo's attitude had changed.

It was no longer mere respect; it was reverence, treating Lin Yuan as if he were a semi-ultimate being.

In her eyes, Lin Yuan's power in the two-dimensional world had far exceeded the limits of what a Rank-eleven being should be able to achieve.

"Try pushing the Heavenly Gate," Lin Yuan ordered.

To confirm whether the gate was targeting him, he would have someone else try pushing it.

"Alright.

" Xuan Yuan Duo had no doubts and walked to the gate, attempting to push it open.

"Lord Blood Rain, I can't move it.

" Xuan Yuan Duo quickly reported.

"You can't move it either?

" Lin Yuan mused.

Next.

Lin Yuan randomly selected a few more powerful beings from various clans and had them all try pushing the gate.

The result was the same.

No one could move it.

"Let's try one of the natives of the two-dimensional world.

"After dozens of attempts, Lin Yuan confirmed that it wasn't just him.

None of the powerful beings from the various clans could open the gate either.

So he decided to let one of the natives try.

At the edge of the mountainside.

Yan Fu, a newly ascended stage-one Witch Ancestor, was trembling under the overwhelming aura unintentionally emitted by the powerful beings from the various clans.

Despite this, Yan Fu felt that his trip had been worthwhile.

Here, he had witnessed battles more terrifying than anything in history.

Especially the young man standing before the Heavenly Gate.

His every move made Yan Fu feel as if he was facing the vast Heavenlys themselves, stirring an urge to bow in worship.

"So powerful… So powerful.

""Even if all the Witch Ancestors of the past combined their strength, they wouldn't be able to match a single hair of that man.

" Yan Fu was filled with awe.

Suddenly.

A voice called out.

"Come here.

"Yan Fu was momentarily stunned and instinctively looked up toward the peak, where Lin Yuan was standing before the Heavenly Gate.

Lin Yuan was looking at him.

"Me?

"Yan Fu couldn't believe it.

Had someone as insignificant as him caught Lin Yuan's attention?

"Yes, yes!

" For some reason, aside from the fear, Yan Fu also felt a trace of excitement.

To stand before a being as unprecedentedly powerful as Lin Yuan—what an honor!

Soon.

Under the gaze of countless powerful beings, Yan Fu reached Lin Yuan.

"L-Lord…" Yan Fu respectfully bowed deeply before Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan had suppressed his aura, so Yan Fu didn't feel any pressure, but he didn't dare act out of line.

The scene from earlier, as if the heaven and earth had collapsed, still replayed in his mind.

To Yan Fu, Lin Yuan was already an insurmountable, even unseeable, mountain.

"Go push the Heavenly Gate and see if you can open it," Lin Yuan said simply.

If Yan Fu, a native Witch Ancestor from the two-dimensional world, could push open the gate, it would prove that the threshold for the native beings and those from the various clans was different.

"No problem.

" Yan Fu steadied himself and approached the gate, pushing with all his might.

A moment later.

"Lord, I can't move it.

" Yan Fu cautiously reported.

"I understand," Lin Yuan nodded.

He had drawn his conclusion.

There was no difference in the threshold for the powerful beings from the various clans and the native lifeforms.

"Did the difficulty of opening the Heavenly Gate increase because of the arrival of the various clans?

" Lin Yuan wondered.

That was the only explanation that made sense.

"If the difficulty increased, how much stronger does one need to be to open the gate?

"Lin Yuan pondered.

At this point, he shared the feelings of the other powerful beings.

Without knowing the goal, everything suddenly seemed meaningless.

"Hmm?

""Has my mental state been affected?

"Lin Yuan immediately recognized the change in himself.

The rippling mental state within him instantly became calm.

"It's only been three hundred years, and I've already reached stage-50 Witch Ancestor.

By the time the Heavenly Gate opens again, my strength will far exceed what it is now.

"Lin Yuan's gaze sharpened.

"Even if I can't open the gate next time, there's always the time after that.

And the time after that.

With my unrivaled insight, as long as I have time, the possibilities are endless.

"Lin Yuan's resolve became stronger than ever.

As time passed.

The manifested Heavenly Gate began to slowly fade.

"The Heavenly Gate is disappearing?

""It seems that even Lord 'Blood Rain' couldn't enter the gate.

""What now?

Is there even any point in staying in this two-dimensional world anymore?

"Despair filled the hearts of the powerful beings from various clans.

"The Heavenly Gate is vanishing.

"Lin Yuan, standing before the gate, also noticed the change.

However, he didn't try to stop it.

He just watched as the gate completely disappeared.

"Continue training.

""I'll set a goal: within ten thousand years, by the time the gate opens again, I will have reached stage-100 Witch Ancestor.

"Without hesitation, Lin Yuan turned and left the peak of Tianshan.

What Lin Yuan didn't know was that the reason he couldn't open the Heavenly Gate had nothing to do with his strength.

It was because, deep within the two-dimensional world, a mysterious being was watching to see how quickly Lin Yuan would grow over the next ten thousand years.

This time, the Heavenly Gate had been completely locked.

No one could open it.

Even if Lin Yuan became stronger, he wouldn't be able to open the gate unless he could completely break through the suppressive restrictions of the two-dimensional world.

And breaking through those restrictions was something even the ultimate beings couldn't do.

A rank-twelve ultimate being might be able to resist being pulled into the two-dimensional world, but once inside, they too would be suppressed.

They could display only a fraction of their extraordinary power, much like the special treasures.

But that was all.

They were far from being able to break the restrictions of the two-dimensional world.

At the Luo River Settlement.

After leaving the peak of Tianshan, Lin Yuan returned here.

"Advancing beyond stage-50 Witch Ancestor is far more difficult than progressing through the earlier stages.

"Lin Yuan thought to himself.

This was why he had set his goal to only reach stage-100 before the next opening of the Heavenly Gate.

Reaching stage-50 in just three hundred years, but then only doubling that in ten thousand years, was due to the diminishing room for improvement after stage-50.

Moving from stage-50 to stage-51 was likely harder than advancing from stage-1 to stage-50 combined.

"Traditional closed-door training won't be very effective.

"Lin Yuan thought.

"Actually, even if I can't open the Heavenly Gate, I might still have a way to leave this two-dimensional world.

" Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.

Even the ultimate beings couldn't pull someone out of the "blank paper," but Lin Yuan, using the "Gate of Myriad Realms"—specifically, its physical transmigration—could leave the two-dimensional world.

The only cost would be fifty threads of world-breaking source energy.

However, there was one issue.

After using physical transmigration to leave, would the Yang Primordial Spirit, upon returning to the main universe, still end up back in the two-dimensional world?

If that were the case, then using physical transmigration would be pointless, as he would still be bound by the restrictions of the two-dimensional world.

Additionally, using the Gate of Myriad Realms to transmigrate one's consciousness would face the same problem.

After returning, would he still end up in the two-dimensional world?

"I'll keep observing for now.

"Lin Yuan collected his thoughts.

He wouldn't easily use this method unless absolutely necessary.

Disappearing from the two-dimensional world?

All signs pointed to the "blank paper" having an independent consciousness.

At the very least, it was a being similar to the Secret Realm Spirit of the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.

How else could one explain the fact that the difficulty of opening the gate had changed after the arrival of the powerful beings from the various clans?

Thus.

Directly using the Gate of Myriad Realms to escape the two-dimensional world, even if only briefly, would likely attract the attention of the being within the two-dimensional world.

Breaking free from the restrictions of the two-dimensional world was something even rank-twelve ultimate beings couldn't do.

If Lin Yuan did it, he would draw far too much attention.

For Lin Yuan, the worst-case scenario would be abandoning his Yang Primordial Spirit.

Even though it would create a flaw in his martial evolution path, with his unrivaled insight, he could likely overcome it.

Even if he couldn't, Lin Yuan, having pioneered the martial evolution path, could certainly create another evolution path just as powerful.

It would simply be a matter of starting over with a new path of evolution.

Given Lin Yuan's current status in human civilization, starting over would be much easier than it had been before.

After a moment of reflection.

Lin Yuan refocused on his training.

"When I activated the 'Enhancement' divine ability, my willpower surged, allowing me to gain a greater understanding of the essence of this world.

"Lin Yuan thought to himself.

"If I get the chance, I should use the 'Enhancement' divine ability more often.

"The biggest drawback of the "Enhancement" divine ability was the brief period of weakness it caused afterward.

However, as long as he remained in a sufficiently safe environment, he could treat it as a training method.

A stronger willpower would not only benefit Lin Yuan's understanding of the essence of power within the two-dimensional world, but also enhance the efficiency with which his true body outside could comprehend the various laws.

In short, it would strengthen him in all aspects.

As for the period of weakness afterward, it only affected his combat strength, not his ability to comprehend the essence of power.

In the Evolution Tower.

Xia Qin, the strongest of the human civilization, looked at Lin Yuan and asked with concern, "You really can't open the Heavenly Gate?

"The fact that the Heavenly Gate couldn't be opened had already been acknowledged by all the powerful beings.

If someone as strong as Lin Yuan, who had crushed the Divine King, couldn't open it, it meant no one could.

But Xia Qin wanted to hear more from Lin Yuan.

"I can't open it," Lin Yuan nodded.

There was no need to lie or hide anything from Xia Qin.

"This is troublesome.

"Xia Qin looked troubled.

If the Heavenly Gate couldn't be opened, Lin Yuan couldn't leave the two-dimensional world on his own.

And outside the "painting," Xia Qin and the other ultimate beings couldn't affect what happened inside, leaving them in a deadlock.

Some ultimate beings had suggested waiting to see if the next opening of the Heavenly Gate would bring any changes.

But Xia Qin remained worried.

"What do you plan to do now?

" Xia Qin asked.

"Continue training and wait for the next opening of the Heavenly Gate," Lin Yuan said calmly.

"Alright.

"Xia Qin nodded.

He could sense that Lin Yuan's mental state hadn't been shaken, which was remarkable.

Not giving up in the face of adversity was something many strong beings could do.

But to remain unshaken in the face of absolute or even certain death was incredibly rare.

Undoubtedly, the three hundred years since the powerful beings had arrived in the two-dimensional world had seen the greatest growth in power, but they had already reached the limits of this world.

Even if another ten thousand years passed, their power wouldn't grow as much as it had in the first three hundred years.

Advancing further from such heights was extremely difficult.

"Don't worry.

I've already discussed with the other ultimate beings.

""If it comes to it, we'll use our hidden resources and see if we can forcefully break open the 'blank paper.

'"Xia Qin said seriously.

Ever since the "blank paper" had squeezed into the universe, Xia Qin and the others had been careful, avoiding any drastic measures.

This was partly out of concern that they might trigger more changes in the "blank paper.

"And partly because they wanted to avoid damaging the "blank paper" itself.

But now, with all their attempts proving futile, the only option left was to forcefully break through.

"Thank you, strongest being," Lin Yuan said.

The hidden resources of human civilization couldn't be used lightly, especially against an unknown entity like the "blank paper.

"But Lin Yuan was too important to human civilization.

Xia Qin and the other nine ultimate beings couldn't bear to see Lin Yuan's clone perish in the two-dimensional world, resulting in core losses.

After leaving Xia Qin's personal world.

Lin Yuan's true body continued to sense the fluctuations of the laws.

"I've already occupied ten of the twelve guiding spaces on the black planet.

" Lin Yuan thought to himself.

In the past two or three years, he had comprehended three more pillar-level fusion laws.

At his current level, comprehending pillar-level fusion laws was easy.

The hard part was advancing those laws to higher stages.

The first fusion law Lin Yuan had comprehended, the Law of Life and Death Reincarnation, was still stuck at stage-two.

Even with the guiding spaces on the black planet helping him, it was a long way from stage-three.

"I've been too greedy.

"Lin Yuan shook his head slightly, reminding himself that he was only a rank-ten being.

For most rank-ten beings, the ultimate goal was to comprehend a single pillar-level fusion law and reach grade-A.

But for Lin Yuan, comprehending pillar-level fusion laws was as simple as breathing.

And the laws he had comprehended were all powerful fusion laws, combining three or more pillar laws.

The Virtual World.

Deputy Tower Master Nalan found Lin Yuan.

"You should have gone to see the Heavenly Gate on Tianshan," Deputy Tower Master Nalan said, unable to contain his excitement.

At the peak of Tianshan, when the Heavenly Gate opened, Deputy Tower Master Nalan had searched everywhere for Lin Yuan among the powerful beings but hadn't found him.

So he assumed Lin Yuan hadn't gone to Tianshan.

That made sense.

Not all the powerful beings had gone to Tianshan.

For example, most of the Tianyu's powerful beings hadn't gone.

And some powerful beings who knew they had no chance of entering the gate chose not to go.

In Deputy Tower Master Nalan's view, Lin Yuan probably belonged to the latter group.

As the greatest genius in the history of human civilization, if Lin Yuan had appeared on Tianshan, it would have drawn the attention of the other powerful beings, causing unnecessary trouble.

"Our human civilization's Lord 'Blood Rain' unleashed a massacre at the peak of Tianshan, crushing powerful special beings like the Divine King into the ground…"Deputy Tower Master Nalan spoke with awe.

The scenes from Tianshan still flashed in his mind.

It had been so overwhelming.

That human evolvers could be so dominant in front of those unique special beings?

"Hmm.

"Lin Yuan nodded.

He didn't offer much explanation.

To think that as a rank-ten being, he had crushed the Divine King and other Rank-eleven legendary beings.

If that news spread, it would cause panic among the Insect Race and the Tianyu.

It was better to keep it hidden, which was Xia Qin's advice.

Until he had enough power, it was best to lie low.

It wasn't that human civilization couldn't protect him, but keeping a low profile would save a lot of trouble.

Human civilization had also endured a long period of dormancy before rising to power.

"I wonder who exactly our Lord 'Blood Rain' is within human civilization.

Would I ever have the chance to meet him?

"Deputy Tower Master Nalan spoke with a trace of yearning.

He was a Rank-eleven evolver, but in front of Lord 'Blood Rain,' he had no thoughts of pride.

"Meet 'Blood Rain'?

"Lin Yuan glanced at Deputy Tower Master Nalan.

But he said nothing.

In the Two-Dimensional World.

After a brief period of closed-door training, Lin Yuan left the Luo River Settlement and began traveling through every corner of the two-dimensional world.

After reaching stage-50 Witch Ancestor, traditional closed-door training wasn't effective for improving his strength.

What Lin Yuan needed to do was journey through every part of the two-dimensional world, observing it from different perspectives, and thereby gaining a deeper understanding of the essence of power, breaking through the world's limitations, and continuing to increase his strength.

Time passed.

Lin Yuan remained out of sight, journeying through the twelve ancient kingdoms, and eventually leaving their territories to explore the vast, desolate regions.

Mountain peaks.

Deep in the wilderness.

At the bottom of the sea.

Lin Yuan passed through and left these places, like an observer standing outside the world.

Time flowed like water, and before he knew it, ten thousand years had passed....
