King Solomon, revealed to be Hill, confronts Saqin and Suzi about their research into creating a child. Suzi confesses she only wants the stillborn baby to live. Hill takes the baby, revealing his own research into a "spark" to awaken life and suggesting he can awaken the child, much to Saqin's surprise.

"It’s time to show you around."

Hill snapped his fingers, and the supreme power belonging to King Solomon unleashed, Raymond Gaudent responded, the space where the three stood twisted and distorted, plunging into darkness before dispersing again.

When everything became clear, they had already left the Soulless’ nurturing chamber and arrived in a secluded and tranquil azure space.

Saqin felt dazed for a moment, and after a few seconds, he realized that this was the place where Hill was crowned King Solomon, yet it had changed so much from what he remembered, especially the high concentration of Ether...

"Ether Realm?" Saqin speculated.

"Yes, I transformed this place into the overlap point between the Material Realm and the Ether Realm to obtain a continuous flow of Ether to provide energy for my research."

Solomon walked towards one side, holding a baby while warning, "Don’t go further inside, continue forward, and you will completely enter the Ether Realm. You are aware of the dangers within."

Saqin looked up at the arranged artificial celestial bodies, the daylight-like light spheres at the core. Now, looking towards the end of this tranquil azure space, Saqin couldn’t help but shiver.

"If you can get a continuous flow of Ether here, what about the Devils? Aren’t you afraid they will use this opportunity to invade?"

To Saqin’s question, Hill merely smiled and did not answer, while Suzi tugged on Saqin’s arm, signaling him to follow Hill.

After becoming the overlap point, the space here had already twisted and changed completely, in this unfamiliarity, Saqin could only follow Hill. Under his guidance, Saqin and Suzi once again ascended the steps, and the distant arranged celestial bodies became clearer, as if they were getting closer.

It was at this moment that Saqin noticed the stone slab standing beneath the celestial bodies.

The material of the slab itself wasn’t special, just ordinary rock, weathered by time, its surface covered with fine cracks, edges smoothed, leaving layer upon layer of time’s changing patterns.

Even without any professional knowledge, an ordinary person would clearly realize the slab’s antiquity upon seeing it.

Saqin quickly stepped forward a few steps, his mood tinged with some excitement, gently stroking the smooth surface of the slab, a cool sensation emanating from his palm.

The slab wasn’t special, but if something were noteworthy, it was the series of complex patterns etched on it, which, along with the slab, had weathered a long period. Its vibrant colors had long faded, but the blurred lines still conveyed intense emotions, seemingly narrating some great epic long forgotten.

"Initial Scroll."

Saqin murmured, immersed in an inexplicable emotion, only turning to Hill after a long time, "Did you put it here for remembrance?"

"Something like that," Hill said, "After all, it was through this that I became King Solomon, wasn’t it?"

Saqin chuckled twice, choosing not to say more.

Hill truly was a genius, upon discovering the primordial artifact, he keenly perceived the existence of the Ether Realm, and in the days that followed, managed to break the barriers of the Material Realm, successfully delving into the Ether Realm, bringing back the slab known as the Initial Scroll.

Such an achievement alone wasn’t enough to crown Hill with that sacred coronet. What truly decided everything was the information Hill deciphered from the slab.

It was a secret buried deep within their minds, one that could never be disclosed, revealing the truth of all things.

"Saqin, after understanding the secrets on the Initial Scroll, I’ve been pondering one thing, how exactly do we escape this damned cycle," Hill approached with a hand holding the baby and another stroking the cold slab, "Good news, I figured it out and succeeded, hmm... not quite a complete success, it is still missing the final step."

Saqin felt immense unease from Hill’s words and questioned, "What exactly have you done?"

"Since this world is the Devil’s hunting ground, endlessly harvesting our souls, then we just have to create a new world, leave this hunting ground, won’t we break free from them?"

Hill paid no heed to Saqin, continuing with his monologue.

"I’ve already done it, I cast numerous souls towards the boundary of the Ether Realm, that true void, among them, one found a brand new world."

Hill’s voice gradually became dogged, adamant.

"New World."

Saqin’s gaze turned somewhat perplexed, Hill’s words left him feeling staggeringly impacted.

A completely new... New World?

Saqin felt there was something off, and quickly, he realized, "Wouldn’t the Devils follow us? Thus finding a new hunting ground?"

This action undoubtedly brought disaster to another world.

"This is the most perfect plan I can think of, Saqin."

Hill turned cold, as if donning a mask again, he continued, "Now, that soul with coordinates needs a vessel, one that can perfectly carry it."

He looked down at the baby in his arms, Hill said, "Reestablishing the balance of body, mind, and spirit, this might allow him to come back to life."

Saqin stared blankly at Hill, for a moment not knowing what to say, let alone act, when Suzi at the side instead started questioning him.
