However, his search was not progressing smoothly.

He described the other side of the magic web as a vast world, yet it looked more like a work in progress. Aside from the traces left by the Elemental Shaper who delved deep into exploration, there were no signs of any other life ever existing there. The land and sea were pieced together in an irregular manner, and the climate changes were completely unpredictable.

Although the magic web bore no ill will toward explorers, the exploration itself became perilous due to extreme weather and frequent natural disasters.

Thus, Elemental Shapers only allowed scholars above the fourth-tier to enter.

Kadela wrote in great detail, carefully depicting every detail he witnessed within the magic web, pausing now and then to ponder, afraid he might miss an important detail.

Next was the feasibility of the "Descent of the God" ritual.

Through research, he explored the concept of "soul," mentioning that any intelligent creature would have their soul linger for a while after death. The more powerful the transcendent being, the longer their soul would last. However, on the other hand, the soul and body must rely on each other, as even the most powerful transcendent being couldn't change the continuous decay of the soul.

Kadela studied a deceased Saint, whose soul imprint lasted 371 days, the longest duration he knew.

Currently, he was conducting further research in two directions.

The first was to find ways to extend the soul's lingering time; the second was to explore the possibility of embedding the soul into a new body to sustain life.

At the end of the "thesis," Kadela proposed the concept of "skin," considering it a potential direction.

This was a very long "thesis."

The densely packed text silenced Lindong, also making her heart stir with a subtle unease.

Because as Ethan had said, no matter if these books were woven with lies, they could discern Sincaro's intentions from them.

They were getting closer and closer to Sincaro.

This was Sincaro's first action beyond "breaking the seal," becoming a mentor here, engaging his student in research related to souls.

From the densely packed text, Lindong glimpsed the source of her unease.

Although Kadela didn't write it directly, all this investigation seemed to aim at the same purpose.

— Resurrection.

It seemed that Sincaro was intent on reviving something.

Time passed by slowly, and the first investigation report was completed.

The blurry, distorted figure retreated after completing, leaving the report on the table. He returned to the bookshelf, properly placing the book back in its original spot.

This time, even Lindong felt the heavy atmosphere of the library.

She and Ethan also returned to their original places, and the blurry figure returned to the book, which closed itself upon the final shimmer of light fading away.

Then came a long silence.

She mustered a faint smile, "Looks like we will finally meet the real Sincaro."

However, Lindong's smile quickly faded.

Because the book in Ethan's hands suddenly "came alive," the added weight almost made Ethan drop it to the floor.

The closed book kept trembling in his hands, and a thick, blood-like black ink seeping out.

Suddenly, a page turned, and the speed of turning pages became faster and faster.

The twisted ancient runes kept changing, stopping abruptly on a particular page.

Dark lines sketched out words they were familiar with.

"Don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die!"

The densely packed words filled the entire page.

But this page alone was fragmented, and the sticky black blood flowed precisely from this page.

Lindong turned pale, closing the book tightly and pressing it down until it was completely silent.

It was a bit terrifying.

She placed the book back where it belonged, looking at Ethan with lingering fear.

Almost immediately, an alarm bell rang in her mind.

Sincaro once trusted Kadela because he was His student, needing him to complete a particular research.

What about them?

Why did Sincaro allow them to peruse these books?
