Ethan gave a small nod.

"General Rozer, let’s have a chat," he said slowly. His gaze shifted toward the stunned figures standing nearby, lingering for a brief moment before moving on.

"Max, it is up to you whether you take the medicine or not," he added in a calm tone.

Max stood there, still processing everything. His fingers trembled slightly as he looked at the vial in his hand.

Ethan did not wait for a response. He reached into his storage and took out a folded paper.

"Erina, from now on, you should practice this breathing technique. I created it specifically for you."

He handed the paper over.

Erina accepted it almost mechanically. Her mind had not caught up yet. A custom cultivation technique? Created personally? What was going on?

Her grip tightened around the paper.

Rozer swallowed hard.

He had witnessed Ethan’s power earlier. That pressure was not something that could be described with simple words. It was not just strength. It was something deeper, something that made even existence feel fragile.

Even the strongest being they knew, the Shura Sovereign, would probably not be able to stand calmly under that aura.

And now, this same person was casually giving away a cultivation technique. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

A personal one.

Rozer’s heartbeat accelerated.

Such a technique could reshape an entire race.

But he did not dare to ask anything. Not a single question. Ethan was already walking away.

"Max, return to the family and absorb the antidote," Rozer said quickly before following Ethan without hesitation.

They entered a secluded room.

The moment the door closed, the atmosphere changed.

Ethan sat down casually and gestured toward the seat opposite him.

Rozer remained standing for a second before realizing what was expected. He immediately sat down, though his posture remained stiff.

"I am not an enemy of humanity," Ethan said. "There is no need to be nervous. I am here to discuss something."

"Yes, sir," Rozer replied. He did not relax.

Ethan looked at him for a moment before continuing.

"Humans mainly follow a breathing technique borrowed from another race. It is universal, but not optimal. It suppresses the inner elemental potential."

Rozer’s eyes flickered.

This was not a topic many dared to discuss openly.

"The race you borrowed it from might have their own intentions," Ethan continued. "Control, limitation, or something else. I do not care about their motive."

He paused briefly.

"I am willing to create individual elemental breathing techniques for humans. Tailored ones."

Rozer’s breath stopped for a moment.

Tailored techniques?

For the entire human race?

That was not just a benefit. That was evolution.

"But," Ethan added calmly, "humans must help me with something."

Rozer immediately stood up and bowed deeply.

"We will be eternally grateful, sir. Please give your order. There is no need to request."

Ethan took out several images and handed them over.

"These are my family members. I want the human race to help me find them."

Rozer accepted the images with both hands.

"If anyone finds even one of them," Ethan continued, "I will personally help that person break through to the Upper Realm."

Rozer’s throat went dry.

The Upper Realm.

It was something humans only speculated about. A higher plane of existence beyond the current universe.

And now, this man was speaking of it as if it were a simple destination.

"I will circulate this order immediately," Rozer said, his voice firm despite the shock. "This will become the highest priority for all humans."

Ethan nodded slightly.

"You may leave. I will prepare the techniques by tomorrow."

He closed his eyes as if the conversation had already ended.

Rozer bowed again.

"Thank you, sir."

He turned and left quickly, his mind already racing with plans.

The moment the door closed, silence filled the room.

Ethan remained still for a few seconds.

Then he spoke quietly.

"Old man. We need to talk."

A faint, ancient voice responded.

"Yes?"

Ethan leaned back slightly.

"This tower. What is its origin? Can you control it fully?"

There was a brief pause before the reply came.

"I cannot. There are ten thousand worlds within it, but that is only the surface. I can access only a small portion. I believe it has a deeper origin, something far beyond my understanding."

The voice grew heavier.

"I suspect it might be a treasure from unknown regions of Elysium."

Ethan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

"Is that so?"

He tapped his finger lightly against the armrest.

"What do you think about the outer world and Elysium? Do you think Elysium is the main world, and the outer world is just a hidden realm?"

The old man did not answer immediately.

"I do not know," he finally said. "I tried to trace the origin of the outer world, but it is beyond my comprehension as well. However, its potential is clearly lower than Elysium. That suggests it is a lower world."

Ethan nodded once again.

He did not continue the discussion.

Some answers required power, not speculation.

He would wait.

In Elysium.

Ethan opened his eyes inside the time field.

Thousands of years had passed within this isolated space.

His presence had changed.

It was more stable now. More refined.

"As expected of me. Each one of my talents are comparable to the ultimate talents of others.", he had a smug look on his face.

Then he stood up.

With a thought, Absolute Veil activated.

His aura dropped instantly, stabilizing at level five.

Completely concealed.

"Now I will have to hunt monsters myself," he muttered.

Then he paused.

"There is a problem."

He looked forward.

"Yumiko, once I reach a level where no one else exists, how will I gain points if there are no monsters left?"

The answer came immediately.

[Master, do not worry.]

[Once you reach level 100, you will gain access to the broken Law of Infinity.]

Ethan’s eyes sharpened slightly.

[This law is nearly endless. Even understanding a small portion will grant points.]

[You already possess the Infinity Strand. You only need to comprehend your own strand and expand it.]

[You will gain evolution points accordingly.]

There was a brief pause before the system continued.

[Additionally, your Gray Mist Production talent allows you to extend your strand using your own power.]

[This creates a self-sustaining cycle.]

Ethan’s eyes lit up.

An infinite loop.

Growth without dependency.

He let out a low breath.

"How do you know this so clearly?"

The answer came without delay.

[Omniscient Core, Master.]

[Now I know everything.]

Ethan remained silent for a moment.

Then a slow smile appeared.

"Good."

He took a step forward.

"Let’s go hunting."

He moved toward the exit.

But before he could leave, space distorted slightly.

A figure appeared.

The founder.

"Ethan," he said, his expression calm. "I have gathered all the ingredients needed to integrate your soul with that monster. Are you ready?"

Ethan stopped.

For a brief moment, the room felt heavier.

Then Yumiko’s voice echoed in his mind.

[Master. Be careful.]

[He intends to devour your existence to learn your secrets.]
