"Alright, stage two," Adrian muttered as he sat inside the Time Chamber.
He was studying the requirements of the second stage—and this time, it was to reach the Gate of a being.
Just like when he had entered the mindscape of his subjects while studying the third thread, he now had to resonate his mana with another person again. The difference was that this path was far more complicated, and the destination had no face.
A Gate had no fixed color or shape—it existed in the space between the conscious and subconscious mind, where mana remained raw and most potent. Naturally, there would be heavy resistance.
"Hmm… it says here I can use my mana to create a barrier while traveling through the mana stream," Adrian muttered, glancing at the notes he had written before.
