“A supreme talent…” the Pillar Heaven Mage muttered in a daze.

“I…”

Meno was at a loss for words to say. He had never heard of anyone that became a Grand Mage after a year and a couple of months. He was shocked, confused, and amazed at the same time.

“How old are you??” Meno asked with a desperate look on his face.

He was hoping that Lawrend was a hundred years old. The truth was so shocking that he would rather believe something less absurd. Still absurd, but not as absurd as what Lawrend said.

“I’m 19 now.”

“19…”

“Uncle Pillar…”

Meno and the Pillar Heaven Mage looked at each other. They came to a mutual understanding.

“I heard that you have several maids. How about marrying one of my descendants?” the Pillar Heaven Mage said shamelessly.

“*Cough*”

Lawrend choked on his own saliva when he heard his words. It was something one would never expect from a respected Heaven Mage.

“Heart is a sweet lady. She would surely like a man like you. Hahahahaha!” Meno said with a hearty laugh.

“Right. Heart is a talented young lady. She is only an Arch Mage, though,” the Pillar Heaven Mage said.

“I’m sorry, but I’m not looking for another woman,” Lawrend flatly refused.

He was not a fan of arranged marriages. He would rather find a woman that liked him. For example, his maids. They were all women that grew a liking to him in one way or another.

“‘Another’ huh. You have a child with Humility. I’m guessing that you will marry her?” Meno asked while in thought.

“Yes. This might sound weird, but I have a lot of maids. I will marry all of them once things become peaceful on my end,” Lawrend explained.

“How many?” the Pillar Heaven Mage asked.

“Ten.”

“That’s not that many. Alright. How about you meet Heart? If the two of you like each other, then all will be well. Of course, if the two of you don’t fancy each other, then I will drop the matter,” the Pillar Heaven Mage said.

“Wait. What’s in it for me?” Lawrend asked as he realized that the flow of the conversation was carrying him.

“Errr… Marrying my most precious descendant?” the Pillar Heaven Mage replied.

“First of all, I don’t know you. I only participated in the tournament because of Humility. I have no interest in marrying your descendant,” Lawrend replied with a frown on his face.

“I see… Then what is your question for me? That is your reward as the winner,” the Pillar Heaven Mage said.

“I didn’t have any questions before I came here, but after what you said earlier, I have one.”

“What is it? As long as it’s not about the secrets of the pillar, then I can tell you anything,” the Pillar Heaven Mage replied.

“What happened ten thousand years ago? Tell me everything.”

“…”

“…”

The Pillar Heaven Mage and Meno frowned.

“Meno, leave for now,” the Pillar Heaven Mage said.

“As you request, Uncle Pillar,” Meno replied.

He bowed and left the room.

“You probably don’t know, but there were only two continents in this world ten thousand years ago. This continent came from the void. This is a piece of a destroyed world for who knows how long it happened ago. The Altro continent connected with the edge of this world and formed a very large ocean between them.

“The other one besides ours and yours is a much smaller continent. It’s located on the other side of the Primitus Continent.

“The Altro continent accepted this world’s powers and became what it is today. We suspect that the angels placed the first humans on this continent. They are known to us as the Preserver of Order.

“As for why the Altro continent connected to this world, we don’t know. It might be a coincidence, because of the Goddess, or some other unknown reason.”

The Pillar Heaven Mage finished his words.

Lawrend was shocked at this piece of information.

‘Master, it must’ve happened after our destruction!’ Valentine exclaimed inside his mind.

“Did you know that there was a civilization before ten thousand years ago?” Lawrend asked solemnly.

“Wha–!?”

A look of shock appeared on the Pillar Heaven Mage. His eyes widened, and his mouth opened.

“Yes, but in exchange, you have to tell me the secrets of the pillar,” Lawrend replied.

“How reliable is this information?” the Pillar Heaven Mage asked seriously.

“As long as we write a contract, I will let you know the reliable source.”

“Young lad, you won’t trick me if you write an absurd claim in this contract. I can break a blood contract any time I want,” the Pillar Heaven Mage said in a heavy voice.

“A blood contract? No. I want us to sign a soul contract,” Lawrend calmly replied.

“S-Soul contract? Does that mean that you are really serious?”

The Pillar Heaven Mage knew what a soul contract meant as a bonafide Heaven Mage. It was something that you had to die for to remove the contract. Your soul had to dissipate just to be free from its binds.

“Yes. I want to know the secret of this ‘Celestial Pillar’. It is something that you won’t let anyone know, but you needed your disciples to solve it themselves, so they can know the secret themselves. It is definitely worth it,” Lawrend replied.

The Pillar Heaven Mage held his chin and thought about it.

He became silent for several minutes. His eyes wandered around as he thought hard.

…

“…The Goddess is watching me. Unless you can stop her from watching me, then I will tell you the secrets to the pillar. I once wrote the secrets on a book before it combusted to flames, and an Arch Angel visited me,” the Pillar Heaven Mage said.

“The Goddess…”

Lawrend furrowed his eyebrows in worry. The Goddess was also watching his every move. In fact, she was having fun watching him. It would be impossible to escape from her eyes in this world.
