The Place Where Everything Begins

It was a total of 28 eras and 452 days after humans from Earth were transported into their new home, Ortus...

At this moment, on a particular battlefield...

The final war between two opposing forces occurred, while each side comprised several hundred thousand soldiers assembled up with various races.

'The final war' meant that if one side won, another side would be either annihilated or become enslaved to the winner.

The warfare was very intense that it was filled with thousands of magnificent spells and skills being launched, covering over half of the gloomy reddish sky while reaping many lives in every passing second.

Meanwhile, both sides' tactics and strategies continuously changed while the soldiers were being commanded and controlled by their respective commanders to contend with their enemies endlessly.

However, because most soldiers were elites among elites, many were even revered as geniuses among geniuses by their own kinds. As a result, most of them had more than enough defensive measures as their trump cards to counter the attacks aimed towards them.

Moreover, whenever an allied soldier became exhausted or ran out of their trump cards, they would be replaced immediately by another allied soldier.

That reason alone had made the war prolonged...

That's why the war had been ongoing for more than 7 days, according to Ortus' time calendar, but the winner was still undecided.

Since if one side lost the war, it meant that they would lose everything they ever had. As a result, countries, families, friends, loved ones, or their races might become extinct and disappear from Ortus forever.

Thus, they fought and fought...

Desperate, they were...

They gave it their all at every passing moment...

"Graaahhh!!" Shouted a 4 meters creature with grey skin while piercing and slashing its blade wildly at the enemy.

*Slash* *Slash*

*Splatter*

The body of a yellow-skinned creature with 3 meters height became separated into 3 big pieces of flesh lumps altogether, with purple blood gushing out from the severed body parts ceaselessly.

*Thump*

*Thud* *Thud*

There came the thudding sounds of the yellow skin creature's body parts dropping down to the ground heavily...

Afterward, the 4 meters creature went on to fight yet another being. Sometimes, many runes were floating upon its blade and body, signifying that some magic spells were used here and there.

With its high cultivation level, the creature could kill several dozen enemies. Still, not long after that, it finally got bombarded by many spells causing its defensive measures to be broken like glass.

At last, its head got pierced through by a laser beam-like spell...

It was undoubtedly dead...

It became yet another corpse within this vast battlefield...

Events like this were happening all over the battlefield that had spanned over several hundred kilometers in diameter.

Regardless of how strong you were as an individual, you couldn't win against an army...

That was also the case for the great sage of humanity who had caused several ten thousand deaths to the enemy camp.

At this moment, the sage, aka space sage, was now having a dangerous-looking knife stuck hazardously inside his heart caused by a combined force of 9 legendary ranked assassins of the enemy camp.

However, before his eternal demise, he activated a specific spell attached to the ring on his right index finger.

To be more precise, he had activated the 'spell' engraved on a small stone inside the ring socket...

At first glance, the stone seemed to be just an ordinary stone, yet it was actually a fraction of Ortus' core, as it also had a direct connection to the Ortus' central body in real-time.

The sage knew about the fact all too well that he might not be able to cast the spell successfully, for he didn't have enough time to study the 'stone' at all.

However, he didn't have time to waste anymore...

Moreover, he didn't have any other choice right now...

Therefore, he was pressed to use the spell or die here as it was...

Abruptly, all of his mana essences were gathered at one place, which was at the ring on his right index finger.

To be more exact, those mana essences were gathered at the small stone embedded in the ring...

Regarding that, the spell was actually a 9th circle spell called 'Time Reversal.'

According to his prior experiments, he could use this spell to reverse time of an object or the lifespan of a being's cells. Still, he didn't actually know what would commence if this time, he decided to reverse time by using the small stone on his ring as a medium...

In fact, the small 'stone' was a fractured part of the main Ortus' core...

What was Ortus, you say?

To be honest, Ortus was an Omnipresent being called by many names since immemorial times, for one of those names was actually 'Universe.'

Considering that the small stone had a real-time connection with the Universe itself...

Wasn't it possible to reverse time of the Universe then?

The great sage had thought about this problem for a long time...

Finally, from a total of 13 hypothesizes that he had come up with, he chose the most likely one, 'going back in time.'

Then, as a caster of the spell, it could only affect him somehow as the side effects of casting a magic spell on the Universe's core. Still, his soul and memory should be safe; as per one of the spell's commands, his soul would be protected and unaffected by 'time' itself...

'Ahh... the spell actually works. There is no sign of rejection or the spell formulas being unstable at all.'

The sage thought to himself while casting a space barrier to protect himself from the enemy's attacks.

That's why, currently...

The humanity's great sage was grinning evilly at his enemies as he finally opened his mouth to speak...

"This is not the end yet. The next time you meet me, the result shall be different..."

His voice was not loud, yet it traveled across the battlefield, letting everyone hear his confident but vengeful voice clearly.

For some of them, it might be a downfall of the supreme sage of magic...

For some of them, it might be the demise of their greatest enemy...

But for him, everything that had happened till now was just a prequel...

A prequel before a true sequel of which would flip the universe upside down...

...

Hence, this was just the beginning of our great sage's new journey…
