Atop the mountain, near the stone cottage.

Enzo felt a surge of curiosity and asked, “Mr. Dorek, what is it that you need my help with?”

Dorek’s gaze grew distant, lost in thought.

In that moment, Enzo seemed to share in the emotion, sensing a deep sense of longing and nostalgia, hinting at a sorrowful past.

After a brief pause, Dorek regained his composure.

He addressed Enzo, saying, “At the farthest point beyond this peak, there lies an inconspicuous stele, left by an old friend of mine. Unfortunately, all these years, I have been unable to discern its meaning. I would like to ask you to uncover what insights you can and share them with me.”

Enzo readily agreed, saying, “Of course.”

Dorek responded with a smile, “Then it is settled.”

With the agreement made, Dorek began to speak.

In the vast expanse of the Starry Sky, the world resembles grains of sand in an arid desert, remarkably ordinary yet immeasurably abundant.

In different worlds, various supernatural systems exist.

However, when it comes to the realm of the Starry Sky, only those who ascend to the level of deity possess the ability to explore it.This rule applies universally across all worlds.

In the Starry Sky, deities are categorized into Nine Stars.

Upon reaching Three Stars, one is designated as a deity, classified into the ranks of beginner, intermediate, and advanced—these constitute the majority of the populace in the Starry Sky.

Levels beyond the fourth represent the immortal deity realm.

An immortal deity is not an ordinary deity. They have mastered the elemental laws, achieving an almost infinite lifespan, and cannot be vanquished through conventional means.

With but a thought, an immortal deity can annihilate countless worlds.

Moreover, as long as someone utters their esteemed name, even from infinite distances, they can sense it.

The most prominent feature of an immortal deity is their command over the laws of space, enabling them to harness spatial powers for teleportation, akin to the ability that Enzo has discerned.

Yet, mastering teleportation does not guarantee one will become an immortal deity.

Thus, Dorek was certain that as long as Enzo did not encounter formidable beings that would thwart him midway, he would inevitably ascend to the rank of advanced Three-Star deity.

Upon hearing this, Enzo’s yearning for the Starry Sky intensified.

Such a resplendent Starry Sky, replete with a multitude of vibrant worlds, was undeniably alluring.

Nevertheless, Enzo ultimately calmed his fervor.

With a smile, he replied, “Thank you, Mr. Dorek, for sharing this enlightening information. At present, I lack the strength to venture into the Starry Sky, and even the idea of becoming a deity feels quite distant.”

Dorek encouraged him, saying, “You can do it.”

After exchanging pleasantries, Enzo expressed his intention to take his leave. He utilized his teleportation ability to swiftly arrive at the location mentioned by Dorek.

However, upon arrival, Enzo’s expression turned peculiar.

Someone had arrived before him, and that person was none other than Rosanne.

Furthermore, it seemed that she had gained some insight into the situation.

Yet, having promised Dorek, Enzo did not hesitate. He settled down to contemplate the seemingly unremarkable stele before him.

The stele bore a simple illustration.

Two birds was frolicking in the water.

Enzo closed his eyes to attune his senses.

As he engaged with the elemental essence of the stone, the Bloodline Grass he had previously cultivated through his understanding of Bloodline Spirit Refining had already shattered the massive stone, augmenting Enzo’s mental prowess to an extraordinary level.

Thus, upon his initial touch of the stele, a vision unfolded before him.

In the vision stood a woman.

She adorned in lavish attire. Though faint wrinkles adorned her face, they did not convey age. Rather, they imparted a sense of grace and benevolence.

The middle-aged woman spoke.

“Dorek, when will you return? Once you’re back, let us go to the designated place together. I can no longer bear to wait.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the image vanished.

And the stele remained devoid of any luminous glow.

Just as Dorek had stated, it was merely an ordinary stele.

At that moment, Rosanne also emerged from her contemplation.

Her eyes were red-rimmed, clearly burdened by sorrow, having evidently perceived the vision within the stele.

Seeing Enzo, Rosanne was startled.

She blinked in disbelief and inquired, “Are you Enzo?”

Enzo replied coldly, “Indeed, I am.”

Rosanne couldn’t contain her curiosity and inquired, “How did you come to be here? I mean, weren’t you engrossed in the contemplation of that colossal, unadorned stele?”

Did she not notice the earlier golden light?

Enzo shared her perplexity but patiently elucidated, “I made some progress and returned to the stone dwelling briefly. I accepted Mr. Dorek’s commission to delve into the insights of this stele.”

Rosanne nodded thoughtfully, countering, “But why didn’t Mr. Dorek come himself?”

“Perhaps there are special reasons for that.”

Enzo replied, mirroring his uncertainty.

Dorek was responsible for overseeing Steles Amusement Park. He had ample time at his disposal, and his dismissive tone regarding the so-called deities suggested that his prowess was at least on par with theirs.

Such a person would undoubtedly possess remarkable talent.

Yet, this was merely a straightforward stele, and it was implausible that Dorek could not glean its insights.

The reasons behind this were indeed intriguing.

Was it emotional ties, or something else entirely?

Enzo chose not to dwell on the matter, realizing that pondering further would be futile and that it would be more prudent to inquire directly with Dorek.

Thus, Enzo utilized his teleportation ability once more, bringing Rosanne along with him.

Upon witnessing Enzo’s swift return, Dorek appeared unfazed. However, his surprise was palpable when he noticed Rosanne, particularly as she held a shard of a peculiar crystal. His expression shifted dramatically as he exclaimed, “Where did you acquire that?”

Rosanne hastily explained, “Mr. Dorek, I previously comprehended a green inheritance called the ‘giant stone barrier,’ and in the process, I obtained this crystal shard, which subsequently guided me to that location.”

After hearing this, Dorek was left in a state of perplexity.

He murmured to himself, “The giant stone barrier… Indeed, this is Xochitl’s signature spell. Yet, I distinctly recall that she did not leave any spells within the stele’s domain… What could this mean?”

With this thought, Dorek turned to Enzo and inquired, “Enzo, what did you witness within that stele?”

Enzo recounted the scenes he had observed with absolute candor.

Dorek furrowed his brow, a look of perplexity etched onto his aged visage.

At that moment, Rosanne interjected, “Mr. Dorek, in addition to what Enzo has mentioned, it seems that due to this fractured crystal, I heard two other phrases.”

“They were: ‘Beware of traitors, and the expedition is a trap.'”

Upon hearing Rosanne’s account, a sinister expression overtook Dorek’s face, and a formidable aura emanated from him. However, he ultimately contained his emotions, allowing his countenance to regain its composure before responding, “Thank you for the information, Miss Rosanne. If you require any spells, I would be glad to offer my guidance.”

Rosanne eagerly asked, “Mr. Dorek, I wish to gain insight into the inheritance of the earth element.”

After listening to Rosanne’s request, Dorek informed her of the relevant information.

After imparting the relevant knowledge, Dorek turned to Enzo once more and asked, “Young man, is there anything you wish to inquire about?”

Enzo shook his head and replied, “Mr. Dorek, I intend to leave the stele’s domain for a while.”

Enzo’s response caught Dorek off guard, prompting him to chuckle and say, “Well done, lad. Among all the candidates, you are one of the few capable of resisting the allure of the colorful inheritance.”

“What is the colorful inheritance?”

Enzo inquired with curiosity.

He had just concluded his reflections on the elemental stele when he learned from Dorek about matters concerning the Starry Sky. Following their agreement, he went on to contemplate the ordinary stele, remaining oblivious to the happenings within its space.

Dorek was taken aback and retorted, “You don’t know?”

Enzo nodded in acknowledgment.

Realizing this, Dorek elaborated, “The colorful inheritance pertains to the profound legacy of immortal deities. Each hue of inheritance possesses remarkable powers. You have aided me greatly. If you wish, I can reveal to you the location of the colorful inheritance on a specific stele.”

Enzo shook his head, declining Dorek’s generous offer.

He replied, “I sincerely appreciate your kindness, Mr. Dorek. However, I am acutely aware that my current deficiency lies not in the lack of formidable spells, but rather in the understanding of certain supernatural essences. This comprehension can only be attained through personal experience.

Otherwise, no matter how many spells I grasp, they would be akin to a towering edifice built upon an unstable foundation—destined to collapse at the slightest gust of wind.”

These words plunged Dorek into a profound silence.

When he finally spoke again, his eyes glimmered with genuine admiration as he remarked, “Young man, I knew I did not misjudge you.”

With that, he produced a crystal orb, its material identical to the fragments given by Rosanne, yet complete. Dorek extended the orb to Enzo, saying, “This is a piece from my collection, containing insights into supernatural forces across different realms. If you are interested, it may prove beneficial in your quest for deityhood.”

Enzo accepted the gift without hesitation. This was precisely what he needed.

He expressed his gratitude once more, then passed through the arched passageway beside the stone house, emerging from the stone archway and hastening towards the outskirts of Steles Forest.

Mastering the art of instantaneous movement, Enzo’s speed was naturally remarkable.

In but a fleeting moment, he located Eve.

Eve was engrossed in contemplating a stele. A mere glance from Enzo revealed that it detailed a spell related to the ice element, though to his now refined perception, it seemed rather simplistic.

After a brief interval, Eve finally emerged from her meditative state.
