"I believe the being who sealed Mark was from the same organization as the Four Divine Beasts in the Divine Realm. Otherwise, it makes no sense. How else would he possess knowledge of the Tower of Truth, the existence of this secret domain, and the true purpose of this temple?

His eyes swept across the gathered group, from the young geniuses to the elders and guards who had escorted them through countless dangers. "Only a selected few will enter the temple," he said firmly. "The rest of you will remain here and guard the surroundings."
