Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100

Chapter 1300  Into the Secret Chamber

Freya exhaled slowly, preparing herself to explain something most mortals never learned until it was too late. "The Divine Realm is not like this world, Max. The very fabric of its reality is constructed from divine energy. Every inch of its land, every breath of its air, every pulse of its atmosphere contains laws and pressure that are many times heavier and more refined than anything you have experienced here. Mortals or low-ranked beings cannot withstand it. Even someone at the peak of the Divine Rank would feel immense pressure on their bones and soul the moment they arrive. Ordinary people would be crushed instantly."

She continued, her voice firm and clear. "This is why mortal civilizations are usually confined to mortal realms. Their bodies and souls are aligned with mortal laws. They grow, fight, and evolve under the structure of those laws. When a being ascends, they undergo a transformation that allows their body to adapt to the Divine Realm's laws. Without that transformation, the very existence of that realm becomes lethal. Imagine the difference between walking on grass and walking through a storm of swords. The pressure of the Divine Realm is like standing inside a world where gravity, laws, and spiritual density are all stacked against those who are unprepared."

Freya leaned forward slightly, emphasizing her next words. "You are an exception because your body has been tempered repeatedly. The Heavenly Lords Secret Domain, the Giant Dwarves' forging, your divine veins, your concepts, and your countless battles have shaped you into someone whose body is already capable of adapting to divine pressure. But the others have not undergone anything like that. They are still Divine Rank cultivators born and raised under mortal laws. If you release them into a Divine Realm world, they will collapse immediately."

Max listened closely, absorbing each detail. The realization sank in deeper than he expected. He knew the Divine Realm was powerful and dangerous, but hearing Freya describe its fundamental structure made him understand how alien it truly was.

"So unless they ascend naturally through an Ascension Tunnel," Freya added softly, "they must be placed in a mortal world. Only then can they survive and live normal lives."

Max nodded slowly, finally grasping the gravity of the situation. He had been carrying the responsibility of an entire race, but now he realized the road ahead was far more complicated.

He could save their lives by storing them in the rings.

But choosing the right world to release them in…

Would decide whether they lived or died.

After spending more time discussing the dangers of the Divine Realm, Freya's concerns, and everything they feared and hoped for, Max finally left her room.

His mind was heavy, not with uncertainty about himself, but with the enormous responsibility he carried for every life sealed inside the Life Space Rings. As he walked through the halls of the Four God Nation's headquarters, he found Alice waiting in a quiet corner, as though she sensed the weight on his heart before he even spoke.

Max approached her and explained everything in detail. He told her about Freya's warning, the impossibility of placing mortals directly into the Divine Realm, the crushing pressure that would annihilate them instantly, and his obligation to find a new mortal world somewhere across the realms.

He spoke about Freya's interpretation of the Divine Realm's laws, and the complications that came with bearing an entire race's survival on his shoulders. Alice listened to every word with gentle patience.

When Max finished, Alice offered a small, soft smile. "It doesn't matter where the new home is," she said. "A home is a home. If it keeps everyone safe and allows them to live without fear of demons or calamities, then any world is good enough. Whether it lies in the mortal realm or the Divine Realm does not matter. What matters is that they will be able to live freely." Her voice and expression carried warmth and conviction, easing some of the tension inside him.

At the same time, Alice also revealed something that caused Max's heart to tighten. "When I reach the peak of the Divine Rank, I will ascend," she said with determination. "And when that happens, the first thing I will do is search for you in the Divine Realm."

Max felt both pride and fear at her words. He admired her courage, her desire to stay by his side even across worlds, but the Divine Realm was not a place where one could travel freely or safely. He knew how difficult it would be for her to navigate its dangers alone.

He wanted to tell her to stay, to live peacefully in whatever world he created for humanity, but he could not bring himself to extinguish her excitement. He saw the brightness in her eyes, the hope she placed in the idea of reuniting with him, and he did not have the heart to deny her that dream. So he simply nodded, choosing to silently trust her resolve.

Later that day, the atmosphere in the Four God Nation grew heavy with anticipation. Everyone who had been chosen for the expedition gathered before the entrance to the secret chamber, the only pathway into the secret domain.

Elders, leaders, squad geniuses, and several specially chosen prodigies stood together, forming a group unlike any assembled before. A faint ripple of spiritual energy pulsed from the stone doorway as ancient mechanisms awakened.

At this moment, Max held all the Life Space Rings in his possession. Every human in Acaris—every elder, warrior, child, and commoner—had been sealed inside those rings. Only those who would enter the secret domain remained outside. The world had become a quiet shell, emptied of life except for this final gathering.

Max looked at the young geniuses, his gaze sweeping over Victor, Seraphina, Arthur, Daniel, Christine, Chris, and the others he personally chose. Then he looked at the leaders who were prepared to risk their lives as well. "I am warning you all," Max said, his tone serious and commanding. "We do not know what we will encounter inside the Celestial Beast Temple. There may be things that can kill you instantly. There may be illusions or formations that tear your body apart. Some of you may lose limbs. Some of you may lose your lives. If anyone feels uncertain, if anyone does not think they can withstand the risks, speak up now. I will place you inside the Life Space Rings where you will be safe."

No one responded. Not a single person stepped back. Every young genius, every leader, every chosen warrior kept their eyes forward. Their determination filled the air with a silent pressure. They had already made their decision. There was no turning back.

Max nodded slowly. "Good," he said. "Let's go in."

He stepped forward and took the lead into the secret chamber. Freya and Lucien followed closely behind him, their steps steady and unshakeable. One by one, the rest of the group entered the chamber, leaving the mortal world behind as the ancient doors sealed shut.

Ahead of them lay the secret domain.

And deeper within that domain awaited the Celestial Beast Temple, a place where countless before them had vanished without leaving a trace.
