“Am I right?”

The Pillar Heaven Mage turned his head to Lawrend.

“…”

“Oh, right. I sealed your body.”

As soon as he said that, Lawrend felt himself regain control of his body. He shook his head and looked at his hands. He clenched them and tested the control of his body.

“Greetings, Sir Pillar Heaven Mage,” Lawrend said and lightly bowed to him.

He was showing his respect. As someone who had the power of an Earth Mage, he couldn’t fathom how powerful a Heaven Mage was. The higher the level, the greater the difference in strength was.

“Mm. Your name is Lawrend, right? Are you from the Primitus Continent?” the Pillar Heaven Mage asked.

“Yes and yes.” Lawrend nodded his head.

“Interesting. Did the Four Great Clans send you here?”

“Four Great Clans?”

Lawrend furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. He never heard that term before.

“Hoh?”

A look of interest appeared on the Pillar Heaven Mage’s face.

“From your face, I can tell that you are not lying. Very well, follow me to my residence,” the Pillar Heaven Mage said.

He turned around and flew up into the sky. Meno looked at Lawrend and followed behind the heaven mage.

Lawrend thought about it for a few seconds before deciding to follow after them.

Meanwhile, Lawrend’s spell that was frozen dissipated into elemental mana that turned into a golden fog. As for the audience, they soon regained control of their bodies.

“Woah!? Wasn’t that the Pillar Heaven Mage!?”

“He never showed himself before!”

“Isn’t it rumored that he found a supreme treasure from the pillar which led to his rise 6,000 years ago?”

“I felt like nothing in front of his power..! So this is what it’s like!”

“Shhhh! Let’s all go home and spread this news to our friends!”

…

Because the stadium was wide open, the Pillar Heaven Mage led the way, and they flew towards the center of the city. A huge dome of yellow earth mana spread out from the heaven mage.

It covered Lawrend and Meno.

“The magic array set up in the city would prevent the two of you from flying,” the Pillar Heaven Mage explained.

“Thank you for your concern,” Lawrend respectfully replied.

He doesn’t know why or what the Pillar Heaven Mage wanted, but he could tell that there was no animosity on him. He was like a gentle senior that wanted to help his juniors.

After several minutes of flight, they arrived at the center of the city. There was a huge pillar that reached up to the middle of the sky and earth.

“This pillar is called the Celestial Pillar. It fell from the heavens since the beginning of time. There were many that tried to crack its secrets, but I was the only one that succeeded. Even today, my disciples are unable to crack its secrets,” the Pillar Heaven Mage said.

They landed at the bottom of the giant pillar and walked to a palace beside it. It was a stark contrast to the size of the pillar. The palace looked like a kid’s toy from a distance.

“The beginning of time?” Lawrend repeated in confusion.

“Meno, explain to him.”

“Yes, Uncle Pillar,” Meno responded and bowed respectfully.

Lawrend turned his head and looked at him as they continued walking to the palace.

“It was said that this continent did not exist 10,000 years ago. My mother told me that this continent was a lifeless place at the beginning. Only when it fell to this world did it gain life as we know it.

“For example, this pillar had been here ever since humans started the first tribes. No one could explain where it came from except Uncle Pillar, but he would never tell anyone where this pillar came from,” Meno explained.

‘10,000 years ago!?’ Lawrend exclaimed inside his mind.

‘That’s the same timeline as when our civilization was destroyed back then…’ Valentina murmured.

The look of shock on Lawrend’s face was visible to Meno. He smiled at him in understanding.

“I’m afraid that I will anger the heavens if I reveal the secret of this pillar. Someone is always watching me, I can feel it,” the Pillar Heaven Mage said in a deep voice.

“Yes, Uncle Pillar.” Meno nodded his head.

Soon, they entered the palace. They walked through several hallways and arrived inside a room. There was a small round table at the center with four chairs around it.

“Sit on any seat,” the Pillar Heaven Mage said.

He randomly chose one of the seats and sat on it. The table was made of jade and adorned with premium wood. And the chairs were made from soft leather with expensive goose-down stuffing.

Lawrend picked the seat farthest from the Pillar Heaven Mage, and Meno picked the one closest.

“Where do we start… Oh, yes. Why did you come to our continent?” the Pillar Heaven Mage asked.

“How do I say this… I came here because I was running away from the Blumin Empire,” Lawrend awkwardly answered.

It wasn’t an honorable thing to reveal that he ran away from something. It was an action that people thought of as disgraceful.

“Hmm. The Saltside City Mayor never told me that,” Meno replied.

“What a mistake. You’re such a talented lad, yet you were pushed out of your continent. A shame, such a shame.”

The Pillar Heaven Mage shook his head in disappointment. In his opinion, Lawrend was worth far more than an Earth Mage.

“They feared that I will topple their current power structure,” Lawrend replied.

“That is understandable from their perspective, but that is ridiculous. You’re a Grand Mage with the strength of an Earth Mage. You even defeated me, the strongest Grand Mage in the Runic State,” Meno replied with slight anger on his face.

“I plan on coming back soon. I left a year ago as an Arch Mage,” Lawrend replied.

“A y-year ago?!” Meno exclaimed in shock.

Even the Pillar Heaven Mage’s face changed.

“How long were you an Arch Mage before you became a Grand Mage?” the Pillar Heaven Mage asked as he breathed rapidly.

“A year and a couple of months,” Lawrend replied truthfully.
