Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100 Chapter 1407 Dimension of Genesis

"I wish to attempt the challenge method now," Max declared, directing his eyes toward Tian with a composed but intent expression. "How exactly does it function?"
Tian responded without delay. "Master, you must select the dimension you desire to unlock first," he stated in an even and deferential voice. "After the selection, a trial tailored to that dimension will emerge."
He proceeded, "Multiple challenges will form the trial. Their shapes aren't predetermined, and they extend beyond mere battles. Generated at random, they will evaluate Master's power, insight, and resolve."
Tian halted for a moment before continuing, "Should Master conquer every challenge in the trial, the selected dimension will unlock and merge into Master's dimensional framework. Failure concludes the trial, leaving the dimension locked until Master tries again later."
Max absorbed the words intently, his mind already churning. This approach demanded far more than random unlocking, yet it granted what the alternative lacked. Selection. Targeting a precise dimension enabled him to shape his progress rather than gamble on fate.
"I see," Max responded deliberately, a subtle grin tugging at his lip's edge. Risky as the challenge path was, peril never made him retreat. Instead, it fueled his most profound advancements.
At that instant, an expansive catalog materialized in Max's view, endless streams of luminous script cascading down, each line holding a dimension's title alongside a succinct but weighty summary.
As soon as he noticed it, his eyes gleamed with fervor, capturing the vast scale unfolding ahead. The catalog stretched far beyond lengthy; it seemed boundless, brimming with potentials that spanned epochs and domains, every dimension embodying a distinct idea, landscape, or dominion ripe for conquest.
However, Max refused to lose focus. Though tempted to devour each detail, he reined in his curiosity and zeroed in on his core needs. His vision darted rapidly over the entries, sifting through them sequentially, seeking a dimension where humans or kindred beings could thrive unbound, free from peril or confinement.
He bypassed realms of brutal forces, aggressive vacuums, and esoteric notions that would rend typical creatures. His pursuit went beyond raw might; he craved shelter.
In mere moments, his gaze locked in place.
Dimension of Genesis.
The title bore immense gravity, and as Max scanned the details, his breathing grew measured. This realm could conceal any life variety from outer detection. No energy would seep out.
No space distortions would arise. No divine awareness, regardless of its potency, could sense the life shrouded inside. Even Divine Realm's mightiest entities would detect absolute nothing.
A faint squeeze gripped Max's chest as the significance registered.
This matched precisely what he sought.
"Securing this dimension," Max whispered tenderly, a true smile blooming over his features as his hands balled into fists, "allows me to escort Alice and Lena to the Divine Realm utterly free of concerns."
No hunters would track them, no watchers would spy, no covert threats from vastly superior forces would loom. They would remain protected, entirely off the world's radar, until he gained the strength to shield them in plain sight.
In that instant, the boundless catalog dimmed into obscurity. For Max, a single option endured, and he resolved to seize it without fail.
As Max sealed his choice, the void ahead quivered softly, summoning a portal from emptiness. It lingered silently within the chamber, its facade sleek and bare, yet it radiated an unavoidable aura impossible to dismiss.
"Master, having picked the dimension for unlocking, this portal guides you to the trial required for it," Tian remarked steadily from his position behind.
Max inclined his head, eyes riveted to the portal. He advanced one step, then halted. Swiveling back to Tian, he inquired, "What type of trial awaits me there?"
Tian replied promptly. "Primarily battles."
"And against whom will I clash?" Max pressed, his eyes narrowing faintly.
"You'll learn upon crossing the threshold," Tian answered.
Max offered a wry grin and exhaled gently. Further questions proved futile. He extended his arm, swung the portal wide, and crossed inside.
The surroundings transformed in a blink.
Max now stood at the heart of a lush woodland. Colossal trees loomed overhead, their foliage veiling much of the heavens, as the soil under his boots lay strewn with shed leaves and robust roots.
The atmosphere hung serene, laced with aromas of dirt and foliage, but an unnatural hush enveloped the site. No bugs droned. No avians sang. The woodland appeared vibrant solely in sight.
Instinctively invoking his Dimensional Sovereign Body, Max extended his senses over the full expanse. The findings hardened his features. The woodland stood utterly vacant, barren of life or concealed entities, registering merely two presences in this domain.
One was his own.
The other lurked farther within the woods.
Max pressed on, his footfalls mute as he navigated the trunks, until the other silhouette emerged. Approaching nearer, his gaze intensified, comprehension igniting.
"Truly a puppet," Max uttered upon facing it squarely.
The form ahead mimicked human shape, its contours elegant yet eerily devoid of vitality, as if hewn from stone rather than flesh.
Familiar with Tian, himself a puppet, Max instantly spotted the faint indicators. This entity wasn't a vital cultivator. It formed a fabrication, crafted exclusively for this ordeal.
Then Max probed its energy more keenly, and his forehead creased.
"Its power hits the Rebirth Realm's summit?" he murmured lowly.
Such intense resistance from the outset surprised him, yet as the idea took root, its rationale became clear.
Without posing a true peril, the trial couldn't justify safeguarding a realm like the Dimension of Genesis. An ordeal to claim something so vital demanded unrelenting hardship.
