Chapter 230
The wrinkled skin and tattoos that once adorned his body had disappeared, replaced by smooth, muscular flesh. The extravagant ornaments that had once adorned him were now gone, leaving behind the image of a solitary monk in a humble robe, clutching a stone tablet.
Despite the differences in his appearance, physique, facial features, and aura, Lennok remained composed and did not mistake him for another. Instead, he wore a wry smile as he gazed at the young man before him.
I think I understand why you took so long to unfold your Domain.
.
Proud as you were of following the Cartels chairwoman for half your life, deep down, were you longing for the place you had returned to? Lennok inquired.
Lennok continued, Its not surprising. Peoples hearts rarely move as they think. How many realize what they truly desired only after its too late?
I am grateful to you. the young man responded quietly.
McQueen, the rejuvenated young man, spoke as he turned his gaze towards the imposing temple towering behind him.
Even after reaching the realm of a Saint-level Wizard, I wandered for a long time. I couldnt accept that the primal image deep within my heart had brought me back here because I believed I never regretted a single moment spent with the chairwoman.
Lennok nodded in understanding.
But now, I think I understand why I yearned for these days of asceticism, which I always thought were lonely, boring, and solitary It was also me.
There was silence.
Born a normal human, living as a monk, Parden McQueen was also myself. I left all my youth here.
With this declaration, McQueen outstretched his arms, symbolizing his reconciliation between his human self and his sorcerer self. This miraculous restoration of his youth, even if it was a phenomenon confined to his Domain, served as evidence of his progression within the realm of a level 7 Saint-level Wizard, transcending countless divergences.
The stone tablet in his hand levitated, radiating a brilliant light.
Koo-goo-goo-goo-goo!!!
In that instant, four stone statues in the temple courtyard behind him came to life, glaring down at Lennok.
Arjumartha, who had jointly unveiled the Domain with McQueen, and the fierce-looking generals known as the Suras, roared in unison.
[Roaaaaaaar!!!]
The four roaring statues burst through the temple walls and charged towards Lennok.
With astonishing speed despite their ten-meter height, chains connected to their waists extended rapidly, swiftly encircling Lennok.
Originally meant to be a formidable barrier safeguarding the mountain temple, within McQueens Domain, it had transformed into a colossal restraint designed to ensnare a single individual.
Clank! Clank! Clank! Clank! Clank!
The statues, resembling guardian Buddha figures behind the monk, enveloped Lennok within moments, each brandishing their weapons.
The chains surrounding Lennok ascended into the air, forming a vast circle and commencing to constrict the space.
A spatial-bound spell that even McQueen could not breach.
Yet, within his own heart, within the memory of the temple he longed for
What couldnt be achieved within the heart of a seeker, pursuing his own salvation?
With both hands free from the stone tablet, McQueen slowly forged hand seals.
As the incantation concluded, the weapons of the statues surrounding Lennok emitted a bright yellow glow, each of them surpassing the power of McQueens [Column Dismissal Cannon].
His half-open eyes gleamed with a laser focus solely on the adversary before him.
Farewell.

The weapons of the four statues descended from different angles and converged at a single point, generating a massive surge.
A tremendous influx of heat descended vertically from the center of the expanding wave, directly targeting the bound individual beneath.
Outside the Domain, Parden McQueen, who had struggled to summon even one statue, now summoned four directional guardian spirits to execute a sure-hit spell.
No elation, no sorrow.
Just a profound respect for the adversary who had granted him another opportunity and unveiled a new realm.
McQueen slowly shut his eyes.
Its impossible. Thats just wordplay How can a human do such a thing!!
For Parden McQueen, dissatisfied with his own mindscape, the idea of a human choosing the landscape of their own heart was unfathomable. Even if one could bring a desired mindscape from memory, it would already be a remarkable feat, let alone extracting a needed mindscape from a non-existent future.
Even McQueen, who had lived for centuries and encountered countless superhumans and monsters, had never heard of such a concept.
Ive always pondered. Lennok continued, disregarding McQueens protests as he advanced.
In a choice where I cannot afford to be wrong even once, what would be the best move I can make
Once Lennok finalized his mindscape within his sacred Domain, concealing his identity in battles against formidable opponents would become challenging. He sought a way to maintain the anonymity that had allowed him to operate covertly while maximizing his talents to their fullest.
Ideally, his sacred Domains mindscape should be adaptable to the situation. Therefore, Lennok chose the ability to choose itself as his milestone, pulling possibilities from the future.
Avid Yonsen saw exactly what I had gained.
Silence hung in the air.
The opportunity to choose itself. Its as if I am directly foreseeing countless futures from this point.
This was the path honed by Lennoks most formidable talent, refined to its pinnacle. Leveraging his extraordinary intuition, capable of foreseeing dozens of moves ahead, and his hypersensitive combat instincts, he deliberated and selected from countless potential futures.
The power to observe and manifest the myriad branching paths stemming from Lennoks potential.
The sacred Domain chosen by a wizard at his zenith acted as a kaleidoscope, reflecting countless parallel worlds.
Pavavavavat!!
In that moment, within the thousands of golden rings hovering behind Lennok, diverse landscapes began to materialize. A mere glance at them overwhelmed the mind with an astonishing amount of information, compressed beyond imagination.
Ah, ah
McQueen finally grasped the significance of the landscapes visible within those thousands of rings. They represented the countless branching choices that a single individual, Lennok, could have made. The golden rings suspended beneath the darkened sky served as mirrors reflecting these countless possibilities.
If this truth is known all the magic towers will try to kill you.
McQueens words tumbled out in a stumbling mutter, his understanding of Lennoks accomplishment making the utterance possible.
It wasnt merely about splitting and observing parallel worlds or realizing them. If that were the extent of it, the kaleidoscope behind Lennok wouldnt exhibit such chaotic dispersion. It was intentional disorder, a margin left for his Domain to evolve even further in the future.
Realizing this, McQueen shouted with all his might, his voice echoing through the void.
How arrogant, wizard! Do you seek to glimpse the laws of the world with just the realm of a Saint, without even being sure you can reach there!!
Lennok remained silent.
How dare you, of all people, try to grasp a fragment of omnipotence Arent you afraid of the wrath of the ascendants!!!
Despite McQueens desperate pleas, Lennok paid no heed. He had waited for McQueen to deploy his sacred Domain first, just to ensure the secrecy of this moment.
There was no room for hesitation. Within the double-layered Domain completely isolated from external observation, Lennoks true value would forever remain concealed.
One of the countless golden mirrors behind him slowly descended into Lennoks hand.
Im going.
It represented one of the many potential futures that Lennok could have faced. Disguised as Eden, the leader of the Cigar Bang Gang, he infiltrated the Torben Magic Tower and acquired unique lightning magic. Overcoming internal conflicts and challenges among the towers wizards with his extraordinary talent, he ascended to the highest echelons. Finally, he became a tower wizard who successfully confronted his Domaina mindscape.
A faint possibility that might have existed at the intersection of infinite choices was now being brought into reality from this place.
Kwooooooo!!!
A swirling sea of lightning enveloped them. In a sky devoid of solid ground and shrouded in dark clouds, a colossal blue light flashed, and only one wizard had absolute control over these natural phenomena.

[Higher Order Mindscape Realization]
[Eightfold Celestial Matrix ()]
A sky where eight thunderous paths converged. Within Lennoks Domain, brimming with endless thunder, McQueen let out a piercing scream.
Aaaaaaaah!!
The technique from his prime, now unleashed anew with his regained youth, once again illuminated this place. The four statues that materialized behind him joined McQueen in forming hand seals, transforming into a radiant protective shield encompassing every direction.

A white whale emerged from the sea of clouds, consuming everything in its path.
