At the 149,999th step, facing the final hurdle, Zar was no longer conscious.
Moved by his last shred of will, he crawled upward, desperate to rise up.
"It's over, kid. You'll only waste your life…" The entity of power, Zar's contractual partner, sighed, preparing to expel Zar from the trial.
However, before it could act, an irresistible force shielded Zar from interference.
In its shock, watching Zar ascend to the 150,000th step, certain he would die, a miracle suddenly unfolded.
Bursting with dazzling light, the fragments of Zar that remained began to regenerate, emitting an even greater power.
As if returning from the edge of time, his soul, origin, bones, and flesh pieced themselves together into one.
Like a god of light rising from the dead, Zar's ascent accelerated, as if walking on flat ground.
"How is this possible?! Has Zar's physique evolved to a plane level?!"
