At the age of 1,363, Ian stopped training for a while. He sat in his quiet land, thinking about life, power, and what came next. He had reached a level where he no longer needed to fight often. Most strong beings now stayed away from his land, and many came only to ask for help or advice. As for his debts to the system?
At the age of 1,364, Ian started to visit lower realms. He helped fix broken lands, stopped some small wars, and gave warnings to gods who were causing trouble. He didn't stay long in any place, and most people only saw his shadow or felt his cold calm. Still, his name became more known, even in realms that once feared him.
At the age of 1,365, Adam told Ian that Zero had returned again. This time, Zero had changed. His energy was harder to read, and some said he had eaten a dying star to grow stronger. Ian did not go after him. Instead, he told Adam, "If he wants to find me, he will."
