"Quite the contrary." Uluomo Jia spoke with a self-satisfied tone.
"I did not disregard the rules. Every action I took was carried out within the framework of those rules."
"That black python you saw was not my true body, but a vessel I left behind in the God Realm."
"Or, you could think of it as an 'image' I left in this world."
"My true body has remained in the God Realm all along. It has never descended into reality."
"Because the authority I wield is 'Reincarnation,' which belongs to the category of 'execution' and 'experience.' If I wished to attain Promotion to a higher rank, I had to undergo reincarnation without end."
"The reason I appeared at this moment was also because your completion of the time loop happened to fulfill my need for 'reincarnation.'"
"You complete your loop, and I gain my insight from it. It is mutually beneficial, nothing more."
"I see..." Babayak's enlightened voice came from the darkness.
"So... the Ancient Secret Script carved into the walls of those ruins was also left behind by you?"
"You were the one who had been guiding our Goblin tribe, helping us develop and grow stronger?"
"I left some of it behind." Uluomo Jia admitted it directly without hesitation.
"After all, if you want to eat apples, you have to water and fertilize the tree."
"I'm not like the Time Dragon, who only knows how to take what is already there."
"However... not all the information was left by me."
"I do not know who left the other portion. Their rank is higher than mine, so I cannot discern their identity."
Babayak said nothing further, as though he were analyzing the meaning behind Uluomo Jia's words.
Instead, Xing Anlin noisily cut in.
"So what exactly are you here for?"
