Cedric dismissed his Profile page and gently petted Aurelion's thick fur much to the little thing's behest as it curled into a ball on his lap to take a nap.

'I reached Tier 9 now, only a few levels away from becoming a Planar Traveller.' Cedric mused to himself.

'My self-created techniques advanced to Intermediate Mastery, my class-releated skills leveled up as well, my Sword Heart even reached level 40 now.'

'I comprehended Space Laws to the Beginner stage, allowing me to manipulate space more easily. I'm still far from perfecting my control over it but that will eventually come.'

'I've also learned all I could about the Aspect of the Stars, I even perfected it even further thanks to my superior comprehension ability. Having complete mastery over it allowed me to increase my comprehension towards Astral Laws, but it will take time for my insights to fully integrate my body and reflect to my skills and Profile.'

'As for the Aspect of Space, I'm nearly there. Acala said that it only contains inspirations until the Intermediate Stage. Beyond that, I'll need to rely on myself, which is fine.'

Cedric's eyes peered out the glass doors, giving him a view of the academy grounds outside.

"If someone were to tell me that I'd be in this position a few years ago, I would probably think that they're crazy, yet look where I'm at." He sighed, feeling nostalgic all of a sudden.

Barely two years passed since he inherited the eyes of the Godking. Before this, he couldn't even kill a few zombies and get enough Demon Souls to sustain his everyday life within the RMC.

Yet look at him now; he has already reached the pinnacle Tier for Superhumans, only a few levels away from becoming a Planar Traveller.

He has become this era's Sage — the Sun Sage, no less. He was hailed as the strongest youngest prodigy of the Starlight Royal Academy despite his low-profiled nature. He's now the Holy Son of the House of Light and a member of the Outer World Expedition Team.

Even the Pillars of Humanity - the Star Travellers, paid close attention to him. He hasn't met all of them but he knew that he had gained their respect because of his contributions so far.

From a complete trash nobody, he became Humanity's unparalleled prodigy, and it only took roughly two years for this total transformation to occur.

Now that he really looks back on it, his progress has truly been insane. Yet somehow, this was far from enough.

Beep!

Cedric raised a brow as he mentally summoned his communication page. Gabriel sent him a message. He opened it and it says:

[Archbishop Gabriel]: Young Sage, my subordinates completed their most recent task. Is there anything else we could help you with?

Before replying, Cedric extended his surveilance range and inspected their underground territory.

His focus was on the illusory veiny roots that's only visible to Superhumans. These are the Leylines of Prime Earth, more specifically, the ones that are under Humanity's territory.

Since his previous excursion and surveilance, he discovered that he had neglected this problem and rectified it. He requested this mission to the trusted people and there were no doubts that the army was involved. In the end, the House of Light were ones who stepped forward to assist him.

He handed them a bunch of array discs and asked them to install it to the locations he marked on the map, most of them required them to dig underground but the subordinates didn't mind.

It took a week for them to finish this task, and how Gabriel notified him that they're done.

[Me]: Thank you for your help. Please notify all the involved parties and tell them to meet me here (pinned location.jpg), I need to inform all of you about certain things before I start with this project.

[Archbishop Gabriel]: I'll notify them, then.

Cedric replied with a thumbs-up emoji before dismissing the message window. He then gently woke Aurelion up and said:

"Hey bud, return to your room first. Papa has to work for a bit."

'Mmkay!!' The sunlion replied drowsily before turning into a streak of light shooting straight to his room which was the beast space residing on Cedric's soul.

Once Aurelion was tucked in, Cedric himself turned into a streak of light. He went to the location he marked, but before leaving, he sent a message to girlfriends saying that he'd be out for work.

The location he marked on the map was actually under that very same mountain that he went to last week.

After making his plans, he figured that this was the best spot to become the center of this project. This mountain will inevitably transform because of what he's about to do. But it's for the best so he hoped that others and the mountain itself wouldn't mind.

He dug a small cave entrance on the base of the mountain which led to the dried up Spiritual Vein hidden at the depths of the mountain. He already finished setting up the things he needed here and he was just waiting for the rest.

About an hour later, Cedric felt several people entering the cave. He opened his eyes from his meditation. He stood up just in time to greet them politely.

"Hello, Ladies and Gentlemen. My name is Cedric Stormrider, thank you for accepting my invitation for this little project of mine."

Cedric spotted Lissandra, Fiona, Gabriel, and Charles within the people who showed up. They nodded back at him to return his greetings. Of course, there were more people he's meeting for the first time.

"Ah, so this is him, eh? Our Young Sage. What a dashing Young Man, must be popular with the ladies, he reminds me of myself when I was young, bwahahaha!!"

The one who spoke just now was a rugged looking old man. He dressed up shabbily and had an unrestrained aura about him. The only decent looking thing on him was the sword attached to his waist.

"Nice to meet you, Sir Jin. I'm a fan."

"Call me Old Jin, Young Cedric. I'm not too fond of formalities. Besides, if we publicize everything that you've done for us, I don't doubt that your prestige would be much greater than mine."

This was Old Man Jin - the Wandering Swordsman. One of the Star Travellers of Humanity. It's easy to dismiss him because of rougish appearance and hjs unrestrained attitude, but this old man was the most publicly revered Swordsman. He spends most of his time roaming the Azure Terra continent, honing his sword and skills in tough battles.

Because he doesn't stay too long within the civilization, he had no disciples to pass on his skills to. It was also said that he's not looking for one. It was rumored that he already passed his inheritance to Acala and allowed her to do what she thinks is best for it, that's why he's not worried about taking any disciples.

"I'm flattered." Cedric replied, he then turned to the men in uniform and felt a dominant aura on them. He gave them his salutations and said: "Greetings to you, High Marshals."

"At ease, Young Sage. We're not in the camp, you can speak comfortably with us." A High Marshal with short black hair and thick beard replied amiably. "My name is Raven Armstrong, High Marshal of the Northern Defense Wall."

"Anthony Selner, High Marshal of the Western Defense Wall." Said the ash blond man next to Raven.

"Cassandra Zephyrus, High Marshal of the Southern Defense Wall." A kind looking woman said standing on Raven's left side.

"Filius Greenwood, High Marshal of the Eastern Defense Wall. Nice to meet you, Young Sage." This one had a striking bright emerald hair and looked very young compared to his colleagues.

These four are the High Marshals of the Defense Walls, each one was as formidabble as the rest and the true pillars of Humanity.
