"I didn’t expect this thing to be so rare!"

Caelan glanced at the ring magic treasure and inwardly approved of the Sect mighty figure’s judgment.

As expected, coming to Oracle Vale was the right choice. It seems that the Sect mighty figure also thinks very highly of my talent.

Thinking this, Caelan continued looking at the subsequent progress.

[In the twenty-third year after your birth, you received an unbelievable piece of news. The late crown prince’s fiancée, the very woman who had personally killed the crown prince, had actually fallen as well. In the same year, the Sect mighty figure returned to the Sect.]

When he saw this message, Caelan was completely shocked.

And it was not just him.

All the awakeners across Eastreach Continent were also utterly stunned.

None of them had expected that such a powerful woman would fall as well.

Even when facing the ultimate trial, she had still been unable to clear the final step.

For awakeners, raising their own account to max level was an extremely time-consuming and exhausting process.

Looking across the history of the myriad races, there had indeed once been many geniuses who had trained their Instance characters all the way to max level. However, when facing the ultimate trial, not a single one of them had succeeded.

[After the Sect mighty figure returned to Oracle Vale, he began personally teaching the students. After one day’s lessons were completed, he personally asked you to stay behind.]

[Your classmates were all extremely envious of you. They believed that this was the Sect mighty figure personally giving you guidance.]

[Inside the quiet training room, you were thinking about how to ask the Sect mighty figure about the fortune surrounding you when the other party spoke first.]

[The Sect mighty figure said that he was actually the administrator of this Instance. His task was to guide max-level players.]

[Once a certain player’s level reached max level, he would guide that player through the final trial. Of course, this ultimate trial was called Transcending the Heavenly Dao within the Instance.]

[The administrator told you that the reason he had not returned to the Sect all this time was because he had been assisting the crown prince’s fiancée in participating in the Transcending the Heavenly Dao trial. Unfortunately, she failed, which was why the administrator was finally able to return to the Sect.]

[The reason the administrator decided to leave the ring magic treasure to you was because he had long since seen that your aptitude was extraordinary. He believed that one day, you would definitely reach max level and participate in the Heavenly Dao trial. He hoped you could reach this step as soon as possible, because there was not much time left.]

Caelan took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled.

So only after reaching max level, or possessing the qualifications to reach max level, could one truly meet the administrator.

In truth, these were all things he had figured out on his own.

Regarding the [Legendary Adventure] Instance, there actually were not that many shared experiences or guides.

Information about what happened after max level was especially scarce.

Many players were extremely curious about just how difficult the Heavenly Dao trial was, and why so many geniuses had fallen at the final step.

[You asked the administrator why you had always possessed such powerful fortune. The administrator told you that it was because you bore a destiny. No matter which simulation world you entered, you would receive the most perfect start.]

[According to the administrator, it seemed that some unknown existence had paved everything for you in advance, but only for the beginning. As for your subsequent development, that would all depend on yourself.]

When he saw this, Caelan unconsciously furrowed his brows.

So...

Who exactly had paved all of this for him in advance?

A sudden, inexplicable throbbing rose in Caelan’s heart.

His mind suddenly recalled the introduction to this Instance when it had first begun.

According to the Instance’s introduction, although there were many simulation worlds within the Instance, there seemed to be some sort of connection between them, as if one great world had been shattered into countless smaller worlds.

It was precisely because of this that the laws possessed by each small world were actually incomplete.

So were all these settings because someone wanted to help me?

Caelan frowned, then looked once again at the simulation before him.

[From the administrator, you learned that the people in this world had a level cap. They had no way of stepping into the true Ascended Emperor Rank. Only players could do that.]

[At the same time, the administrator also told you that this world could only have one player who had reached max level. If that max-level player failed to complete the Heavenly Dao trial, then it would become even more difficult for the next player to reach max level.]

[According to the administrator, at some point in the future, there would no longer be anyone in the entire simulation world capable of reaching max level. Therefore, he hoped that you could improve your realm as quickly as possible.]

[After you understood the full sequence of events, you expressed your gratitude to the administrator, then chose to leave.]

[In the twenty-fourth year after your birth, you said goodbye to your teacher and classmates. You knew that continuing to stay here no longer had any meaning.]

[In the thirtieth year after your birth, you worked hard at cultivation and reached the Ascendant Rank.]

[In the hundredth year after your birth, you reached the Golden Immortal Rank.]

...

[In the five hundredth year after your birth, you were only one step away from the Ascended Emperor Rank. You had reached the Half-Ascended Emperor Rank, and prepared to go all out to step into the final realm.]

[You exhausted all your strength, turning the entire Eastreach Continent upside down. You were shocked to discover that the difficulty of your breakthrough was far greater than what was recorded in books.]

[Because of your breakthrough, the disasters of heaven and earth that were triggered caused countless deaths and injuries. Even the awakeners who had entered the Instance were not spared.]

[In the five hundred and thirtieth year after your birth, you were only one step away from breaking through. However, because of a single lapse in judgment, your emotions became too impatient. You were tempted by a demon and accidentally fell onto the demonic path, causing you to be unable to step into the Ascended Emperor Rank in this lifetime.]

[You regretted this deeply. At the same time, you warned yourself that you must have powerful patience.]

I actually failed again?

A trace of surprise flashed across Caelan’s face.

He had originally thought that stepping into the Ascended Emperor Rank this time should not be much of a problem.

But who could have expected that he would actually fall onto the demonic path?

Previously, the administrator had warned him that it would become increasingly difficult for later awakeners to reach max level.

Even though he possessed ultimate talent, it now seemed that stepping into the Immortal Emperor realm was still not that easy.

Caelan unconsciously clenched his fists.

He had never admitted defeat, and he was even less accustomed to giving up.

Wasn’t it just starting over again?

This time, he would work even harder to improve his strength.

Caelan made his decision inwardly.

In any case, his abundant lifespan gave him the chance to start over from the beginning.

[In the fiftieth year after your birth, you knew that you could no longer step into the Ascended Emperor Rank. Thus, you began preparing in advance for your next life and formulated a detailed plan.]
