"......It wasn't me who chose him, but his own choice. Ever since Samuel Wright merged with the Dao, the Second Samuel appeared, then the Investiture of the Gods plan unfolded, and the Lord God's Space was successfully constructed—whatever happened in between, we all lost that segment of memory. By the time we came to our senses, the original Lord God's Space was already lost. You were ordered to search for hundreds of millions of years, and when you finally found it, it was already in this person's hands, and moreover, his fate was intertwined with it, their destinies connected, making it impossible to seize. Isn't that so?"

"......Yes."

"Of course, killing him would naturally allow you to seize it, but he possesses the original Lord God's Space, and his essential fate has already reached the level of a high saint, or even higher. If anyone tries to kill him, that one will surely descend directly upon the Great Desolate Continent. The preparations to impeach that one aren't even complete yet—if he descends, everything will be over. 'Divided, they are saints; united, they are gods'—part of the reason for this saying refers to this. That's why you used so many threads, hints, and acted as the mastermind behind the scenes, all to ensure that this mysterious fate wouldn't implicate us. You finally arranged for him to enter this college entrance exam test. We thought it was a sure thing, but who could have known that the original Lord God's Space would activate at this moment? Now, he's probably already entered the Lord God's Space. To find him again is nothing but wishful thinking."

"Master, to have your trust, I will do everything in my power to find him. This original Lord God's Space is unique—it can help you transform and advance, and you are only one step away from that one. Please rest assured and leave it to me!!"

"Of course I trust you in this. Otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen you in the first place. So you... No, he's gone!"

Suddenly, the always dignified and noble voice was filled with surprise and urgency.

"Master, could the original Lord God's Space truly be so miraculous? Even though his fate and destiny were already marked, can this space even completely shield him from you?"

"......No, his fate and destiny have disappeared. There's nothing in the River of Time, nothing in the River of the Underworld, nothing in the River of Destiny..."

"He's... gone."

Chapter 3: The Great Desolation!

Henry Clark opened his eyes and saw the sun shining brightly in the sky. It seemed that birds were flying high above, and a gentle breeze blew in from afar, making him feel so lazy that he didn't want to move at all.

"Is this the plane? What's so special about this place?"

Henry Clark lay on the grass and asked, but a few seconds later he snapped out of it, immediately stood up from the ground, and what he saw made his mouth drop open, even drooling unconsciously.

What he saw was simply too, too, too, too, too unbelievable!!

What did he see? A mountain.

Alright, just from the literal meaning, what's so amazing about a mountain? Compared to a mountain, obviously ghosts, monsters, or even a spaceship would be much more astonishing.

But when something's scale surpasses a certain limit, it can astonish anyone to the extreme.

He saw an unimaginably enormous mountain. Although it was extremely far away, just by comparing it with the naked eye, this mountain was even bigger than a star—much, much bigger.

"Could it be... Buzhou Mountain!?" This thought flashed through Henry Clark's mind.

You couldn't blame him for thinking this way—the mountain was simply too gigantic, towering into the clouds, reaching who knows how many tens of thousands of miles high. Even though it was extremely far away, just by looking at it, its size was comparable to a star. The naked eye couldn't take in its entirety, and for a mountain to be this huge, no matter how you thought about it, it could only be the legendary Buzhou Mountain from myth.

But as Henry Clark's field of vision continued to expand and moved around, what he saw made him even more incredulous.

Because he saw at least four or five such gigantic mountains. These mountains formed a mountain range, and as for whether there were more mountains within that range... that was almost certain. It was just that his view was blocked and he couldn't see them all.

Henry Clark looked at everything around him. Everything nearby was still normal-sized—trees were still trees, grass was still grass, flowers were still flowers. He hadn't shrunk; everything around him was normal. The only abnormal thing was the sheer, sheer, sheer, sheer, sheer size of the geography—so enormous it was beyond belief.

For some reason, Henry Clark recalled the information about the Great Desolate Continent he had found during the months since he transmigrated. It was said that the Great Desolate Continent was round above and square below, its land so vast it was uncountable. The size of a single continent could rival the size of an entire universe in other planes. So on the Great Desolate Continent, a mountain range could be as large as dozens of stars combined, and a single mountain could be as big as a star.

At the time, Henry Clark thought this information was just exaggerated self-praise, like how people on Earth boast about their hometowns. After all, he had lived in the city, and during the few cautious months since his transmigration, he had never left the city. So naturally, he had never seen those so-called star-sized mountains with his own eyes. Although he had searched for pictures and videos, at that time he was only focused on searching for supernatural powers and didn't pay much attention to any of this.

Could it be that he was beside a mountain range somewhere on the Great Desolate Continent? Didn't the watch previously have him enter a pillar of light to complete a mission? Why did it send him back to the Great Desolate Continent?
