Along with the abrupt end of the distant memory, a string of system notifications shifted Vaan's attention.

Although Vaan didn't get to see what kind of fate awaited the Peak Heavenly God duo after the invisible threat chased them, he gained a lot of information about the two Heavenly Gods, the Divine Realm, and some insight into the unknown dimension they had stumbled inside.

Vanitas, the Heavenly God of Space. Divine title – Heavenly God Divine Void. Scarlett, the Heavenly God of Fire. Divine title – Heavenly God Scarletsea. Two peak existences from the earlier era of the Divine Realm.

Empyrean Scarletsea was also a person from the Divine Realm.

Although Vaan had never seen Empyrean Scarletsea's true appearance and her character was a stark contrast compared to Heavenly God Scarletsea in the distant memory, he knew they were the same person.

It didn't take a genius to draw the connection between the two.

'I must admit, Empyrean Scarletsea was quite the peerless beauty,' Vaan clicked his tongue as he recalled Scarlett's goddess-like appearance in the distant memory.

As for Heavenly God Divine Void, Vanitas… That should have been who he was in one of his past lives. But contrary to his current promiscuous life, Vanitas was a faithful man with only one wife.

However, Vaan understood why Vanitas, a dual cultivator, only had one wife. Scarlett was undoubtedly the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

All other women's beauty paled in front of her.

Furthermore, Scarlett was extremely gifted and competent, rivaling Vanitas in power and wisdom.

With such a mighty wife, how could Vanitas dare to look for other women?

A capable man could have multiple wives, while an incapable man could only dream of it. Although Vanitas wasn't an incapable man, he had an extremely capable first wife. Thus, it could only be said that he wasn't capable enough.

…

Vaan cross-referenced Empyrean Scarletsea's story and experience with the newly acquired information from the distant memory before he inferred the events that followed.

'Vanitas and Scarlett promised to live and die together, but Vanitas most likely couldn't bear to see his wife die in front of him. Thus, he must have sacrificed himself to send her back to the Divine Realm and let her live on…' Vaan mused.

'Subsequently, Scarlett, who had her life saved, couldn't die to follow Vanitas in death as it would make his sacrifice meaningless. As such, she was forced to live on, bearing all the grief and loss alone. The betrayal of her trust must have twisted her heart and given birth to hatred and resentment…'

'As a result, the Empyrean Scarletsea detests love and finds it meaningless…' Vaan continued to contemplate.

In truth, Empyrean Scarletsea had never told Vaan about her view on men and love. Vaan had figured it out himself from the impression he received based on the few interactions he had with her when she possessed Henrietta's body.

Nevertheless, Empyrean Scarletsea's matters were of little importance to the present Vaan as he had learned of something more concerning – the threat posed by the unknown higher dimension.

Although Empyrean Scarletsea successfully fled to the Divine Realm, her escape must have also left behind traces that allowed denizens of the unknown higher dimension to reach the Divine Realm. freeweb novel. com

The unknown invaders with strength beyond the True Divinity Realm in Empyrean Scarletsea's story were most likely from that very higher dimension.

Vaan couldn't help but lament with a sigh as he reached this conclusion.

What Vanitas had done was very selfish and also stupid. Although he saved the love of his life, he screwed over the Divine Realm and made his current life more difficult.

Vaan felt quite certain that the higher dimension in the distant memory he saw was not a part of Chaos.

Although it was brief, Vaan had been to Chaos before and had even seen what it was like through the dimensional crack. The boundless void in Chaos was suffused with a red hue due to the ever-present power of existence. On the other hand, the void in the unknown higher dimension was dark, like the present universe.

In other words, there was another boundless world besides Chaos and his universe.

Although Vaan didn't know if the unknown higher dimension was bigger than Chaos, it was definitely bigger than the Divine Realm—at least according to what he had sensed through Vanitas inside the memory fragment.

Compared to the extinction-level threat posed by the unknown higher dimension, Gehenna's threat seemed insignificant.

'In front is Gehenna, and behind is the higher dimension. There's no path of retreat. The only path is forward,' Vaan thought.

The current state of the Divine Realm was unknown, and there was no telling how many denizens of the higher dimension invaded the current universe. Thus, fleeing into the sea of stars to look for another habitable planet was the same as seeking certain death.

After all, the threat posed by Rank 6 Divine Beings was not the same as the threat posed by existences potentially above Rank 13.

'What a difficult world we live in…' Vaan's frown deepened.

The newly acquired information had seriously thrown a wrench in his plans. However, he was glad he found out rather than stay ignorant. novelbuddy .com

The sense of urgency and desire for power in his heart surged uncontrollably.

Even if he had to risk starting a continental war, he had to unify Pangea in the shortest time possible. Only then would he have access to all possible knowledge, resources, and manpower in the world.

Vaan had enough self-awareness to understand that while he might have already become the strongest person in Pangea, he was still an insignificant ant in the grand scheme of things.

The power of one man was limited, perhaps only enough to cause a small ripple in the great ocean.

On the other hand, the power of an entire race could create wonders and miracles.

Vaan seemingly had a breakthrough in his mental state.

After knowing what must be done, he no longer cared whether he exposed his true identity and capability to the people of the Great Ratholos Empire.

He boldly advanced to the top of the Black Mountain, where the suppressive force of gravity was the greatest, to comprehend as much of the Law of Space in the shortest time possible.

The weak relied on their intelligence, while the strong made use of their strength.

'I will cow this world into submission with strength so great people can only despair and look up to, never dare to compare!' Vaan's eyes flickered with a fierce glint.

The reason he was reborn… The reason he was gifted with unparalleled talent… He was beginning to understand the purpose of his life…

He was burdened with a great mission that no other could or hoped to realize.
