"Wendell, I'm sorry, I…"

Kewen looked at Wendell, who seemed as though his very soul had been drained, and was consumed by endless guilt.

Selas had been killed by Wendell's enemies seeking revenge.

At the time, Kewen had been deep in meditation, attempting to heal old wounds.

"Go away… I don't want to see anyone right now."

Wendell gritted his teeth against the excruciating pain, his voice hoarse.

He hated his enemies, hated himself, and blamed Kewen for not being able to protect Selas.

Wendell cried for three days and nights before Selas' grave.

When he finally stood up, his handsome face was now weathered, and his once black hair had turned streaked with white.

He left the Emerald Starfield and never returned.

The name Wendell became a legend sung by bards throughout the Emerald Starfield.

"It's good that you're back…"

Kewen placed his hand on Wendell's shoulder.

"It's just that, Selas…"

Wendell gave a faint smile and interrupted Kewen's words.

"Master, I've returned to tell you something."

"Selas, she will soon be back with us."

Kewen trembled violently, staring at Wendell in disbelief.

He knew Wendell would never joke about Selas!

But… bringing the dead back to life?!

How could that be possible?

Wendell didn't explain further. He led Kewen outside the house.

Leo and Albert were waiting there.

"Who are these two?"

Feeling their unfathomable auras, especially Albert's vast pressure, Kewen's heart shook.

"Master, this is my closest friend, Albert."

Albert stepped forward and elegantly bowed.

"I am Albert, from the Arcane Star Domain."

Kewen quickly returned the bow.

"Kewen, I was Wendell's mentor."

His mind raced—Albert… Arcane Star Domain…

This name, and the terrifying aura.

Could it be… the God of War from the Arcane Star Domain?!

Kewen's eyes widened in shock as he looked at Wendell.

"Are you…?"

Seeing Kewen's astonished expression, Albert merely smiled calmly.

"Yes, I am Albert, the God of War from the Arcane Star Domain."

Upon hearing this confirmation, Kewen stood frozen.

But soon, he regained his composure.

With Wendell's extraordinary talent, it made sense for him to befriend someone like the God of War.

However, the aura of this God of War seemed even more profound and terrifying than what was described in the rumors!

Could this really be just Sanctuary King rank?

Kewen had been living in seclusion on this remote planet and knew little about the changing tides of the world.

He didn't know that Albert had recently broken through to Sanctuary Lord rank.

If he did, his reaction would have been far from calm.

At that moment, Wendell spoke again.

"Master, there's one more person I need to introduce."

Kewen's gaze shifted to Leo, who was standing there with a constant smile.

His intuition told him that Leo was the most unfathomable of the group.

Although there wasn't even the slightest fluctuation of energy emanating from him, it only made him seem all the more mysterious.

Just as Wendell was about to speak, Leo raised his hand lightly.

"Let's put pleasantries aside for now. Time is precious. Let's get to the matter at hand."

Wendell paused for a moment and then understood.

It seemed Leo didn't want to reveal too much of his identity.

With that thought, he quickly nodded in agreement.

"Master, we'll discuss more later. For now, let's focus on resurrecting Selas."

Kewen's mind was shaken.

Even now, he still couldn't believe that anyone could truly bring the dead back to life.

And Selas had been dead for millions of years; perhaps even the traces of her existence had long been erased by time!

But he didn't voice his doubts, simply following Leo and the others to the back mountain.

Back Mountain.

The area was overgrown with weeds and wildflowers, desolate and lonely.

In the center stood a lone gravestone.

The surrounding area was exceptionally clean, suggesting that someone often came to maintain the site.

The four of them arrived in front of the gravestone.

The inscription on the stone had become worn with years of cleaning, but one could still barely make out the name "Selas."

"Selas… I've come back."

Wendell stood before the grave, tears streaming down his face.

Since the moment Selas had passed, he had grown disillusioned with the path of arcane magic, making no progress in rank.

In his heart, the pursuit of power was never for the sake of immortality or supreme authority, but to protect those he loved!

But the one he most wanted to protect was now gone—what was the point of all this power?

Seeing Wendell, consumed by grief, Albert and Kewen said nothing, turning their gazes toward Leo.

Leo, too, felt a hint of emotion in his heart.

So this is the power of love...

"System, are you confident?"

Leo silently asked within.

In fact, if he were willing to spend great effort, he could accomplish this feat himself with his understanding of the laws, though the process would be extremely tedious.

Thus, he had decided to use the system's power.

If the system couldn't complete the task, he would take matters into his own hands.

"Master, please allow me to describe this simply: there is nothing in this vast Starsea that this system cannot accomplish!"

Leo gave a slight nod.

The system's existence was already beyond belief.

Compared to that, resurrecting a being seemed almost trivial!

Moreover, such things had been done before in the Victoria phase system.

But the difference now was that they were attempting to resurrect someone whose very molecules had been completely disintegrated…

"Please step back."

Wendell and the others immediately backed away.

Only Leo remained before the gravestone.

The three of them watched anxiously from a distance, filled with indescribable anticipation and unease.

After all, resurrecting the dead was an unfathomable act.

"System, it's your turn."

"Understood, Master. Please extend your right hand!"

Leo slowly raised his right hand.

In the next moment, a mysterious force, originating from the very essence of the universe, began to emanate from his palm.

Whum—!

At once, the gravestone and the surrounding space began to warp and ripple.

The gravestone itself rapidly became spotless, its inscription now clearly visible once again.

The ground behind the gravestone began to swell, as if time itself was flowing backward!

Time was reversing!

And this was a permanent, irreversible, law-level reversal!

From a distance, Wendell and the others were left stunned.

They had never witnessed such a miraculous manipulation of time!

As Wendell snapped back to reality, he trembled with excitement.

Kewen quickly placed his hand on his shoulder, his own voice trembling.

"Calm down, Wendell!"

But his own body was also trembling.

He looked up at the starry sky, tears filling his eyes.

Could it be… that the Starborn Goddess had truly heard his prayers?

Before the gravestone, Leo's eyes flashed with a hint of admiration.

The system's methods were indeed beyond imagination.

Now, the entire grave seemed to have returned to its original state, as though it had just been buried.

But just then, something unexpected happened!

The entire space suddenly began to shake violently, emitting a deep, rumbling sound!

Then, a voice, filled with endless fury, echoed from deep within the fabric of space and time.

"Arrogant fools!"

"How dare you disturb the order of time and space?!"
