According to Damian\'s words, everything had been hazy and he only saw the corpses. Maybe there were some brethren, or possibly even his biological parents that had survived. But then again, Nial was not sure what to think about that.

He had never really given much thought to his biological parents and he didn\'t think that it made a big difference if they were alive even today. Nial was raised by Miles and Maline and he would always consider them his parents. He might have been brought over to Jundra through a dungeon portal anomaly, which was the sole reason why he was alive, to begin with, but that was certainly one of Nial\'s great fortunes.

Even if he was blind and not awakened, and unable to do many things in the past, Nial had been quite happy, if he were to be honest with himself.

Other than the blurry memories of the time before he and the Godly fragment of the Late God of Darkness were fused through their terrific compatibility, Damian told him about a few more things.

Most of them were related to the City of Trials, the existence of another kind of Cultivation Path that used a medium called \'Essence Crystal\' and Essences to Cultivate. Beings who followed such a path were said to allow cultivation at a much faster rate because it was possible to devour the Essence from the Essence Crystal of the beings they defeated.

Their Cultivation ranks were divided into Tiers which they could break through as long as their innate talent was high enough. There was also something about the Primordial Ascension, a creation of the oldest Primordials to increase the talent of Ascenders artificially.

Ascenders were beings with an Essence Crystal that was located near their brain.

Nial had already heard a few things about Ascenders and he knew that Undying was one. However, he didn\'t expect to hear that Ascenders were considered to have a weaker type of Cultivation. Most of them had to create something called faux Divinities to increase their talent through external means, otherwise, they wouldn\'t be able to become True Gods.

True Gods were actually normal Gods, but Ascenders split the term God into Lesser Gods and True Gods. Becoming a Lesser God was something that could be achieved by creating a faux Divinity, while the term True God was applied the moment an Ascender created their \'True\' Divinity.

Nial felt that all of this was a little bit useless because it was just a means to ignore the fact that the foundation of Ascenders was much worse than that of Originals. Ascenders may be able to advance in the Tiers at a rapid pace due to their foundation but they couldn\'t ascend to Godhood that easily. Thus, Originals were considered superior even if they took a long time to build their foundation.

[Your secondary Godly mission is to either defeat the Undying or to survive against him for 100 days!] Damian announced when Nial\'s thoughts were not as clouded by the vast amount of information he had received anymore.

"Defeat him, or survive…how strong is this \'Undying\' for you to give me two options to solve the secondary Godly mission?"

Nial enquired. He was not too sure about the prowess of the Undying but he could tell that his current strength was much higher than ever before. He might not be strong enough to fight Gods, even the Lesser God Ascenders, whose foundation was bad, but Nial was pretty sure that not even Keltia-ranked prodigies should be able to fight him easily.

There were still a few things that he was uncertain about regarding the Undying\'s combat prowess but the secondary Godly mission would solve them for sure.

[The reason why both you and the Undying were given the same kind of mission, and trial is pretty simple. The Undying has been in the City of Trials for the last 10,000 years according to the passage of time inside the Forgotten Time realm. However, his abilities were restrained and so was the advancement of his strength. In terms of physical strength, and other means you should be stronger than the Undying, especially since he cannot use his abilities.

However, his combat experience is much stronger than yours and he can also use techniques, which he was taught by the Gods who left imprints of their Soul in the City of Trials. His special traits and the Origin ability, which is equivalent to the Innate ability of Originals, are not restricted though.

Thus, the second option of \'survival\' was given!]

\'10,000 years…abilities restricted...techniques…that doesn\'t tell me how strong he is…\'

Nial was trying to gauge how strong the Undying was but that was definitely not easy. The only thing that gave him a rough understanding of his capabilities was the title \'Undying\'. It told Nial enough to understand that he had to be at the top of his game to finish the secondary Godly mission with flying colors!

"Alright. Send me over then!" Nial made up his mind and got up while stretching his body.

[Impatient brat…] Damian scowled a little but Nial could tell that the Late God of Darkness didn\'t mean it seriously. On the contrary, Damian was amused and excited.

As for Nial, he stood with his chin up, his expression overflowing with confidence and determination.

He stepped through the portal that appeared in front of him moments later.

The passages he used were narrow and there was barely enough space for him to pass through them. Fortunately, it didn\'t take too long before he appeared on the other side of the portal. He was greeted by a tremendous amount of mana that permeated every inch in the radius of 100 kilometers that he perceived right at this moment around him.

His expression remained the same as before,, careful and neutral, but internally, he was baffled about the tremendous density and purity of mana in this place.

\'If I could spend 10,000 years here, my strength would increase by leaps and bounds!\' Nial figured before he heard a voice from above him.

"Long time no see…" She said a little hesitantly as a tiny blush crept up her cheeks.

It was the Oracle, who greeted him once again. Visualizing her allowed him to see that she was as beautiful as ever. The Oracle was in her original form which was the mature woman he visualized in his mind with great detail.

"It hasn\'t been that long since we parted ways, little Oracle," Nial responded, reflexively adding \'little\' as he had called her that often before. He smiled gently at the Oracle who smiled back at him.

At this moment Nial sensed that another figure standing not too far away from him shook his head. Nial\'s attention was attracted to the human, whose appearance and power level didn\'t seem to be too impressive.

The Undying had brown hair that were tied behind in a man bun, just like Nial had. His build was more muscular than Nial\'s but that didn\'t mean that the Undying was physically stronger than himself. The Undying was wearing a simple set of combat clothes, and Nial noticed that he was wearing exactly the same clothes all of a sudden.

The Undying looked at Nial and he returned his gaze, though unfocused, which was the only way he could \'look\' at anyone as he was not able to control his eyes perfectly. They were not milky white and seemed lifeless for no reason!

"You must be the human they call \'the Undying\'. It\'s nice to finally get to know you!"
