The realm lord's situation is not hopeless though. He has already achieved so much without his full knowledge or the full capabilities of the system. He can only imagine what he will achieve when the first one awakens again.
"There is a lot I don't know. But that will end soon. I will find the path of Supremacy. No one will be able to stop me then."
His confidence is not baseless. He is confident of his success because no incarnation has been able to match the first one and he has never heard about anyone reincarnating apart from Legion.
The first one had to have a very important reason for subjecting himself to multiple incarnations. There must be something he is looking for. He is about to find it soon.
That question will be answered in this incarnation. The only thing that stands in his way is the era of conquest. If he can overcome that, which he will, then nothing can stand in his way anymore.
THE END OF VOLUME 5.

THE BEGINNING OF VOLUME 6.
---Somewhere In A Lush Plane.
This is a plane full of vitality. It is covered with traces of life as far as the eye can see. There is a green color everywhere you look. The poorest biome you can see on this plane will be the grasslands and prairie. The rest of the plane is filled with forests and lakes.
The skies of the plane are filled with clouds heavily laden with water and the air is humid. Even the ground is wet. It is because rain is a common occurrence in this plane.
The plane looks peaceful and prosperous. But beneath all the signs of vitality are scars of death and suffering. The forests and the trees they contain mask ruins of a terrible past.
The lakes were not created naturally. No natural lake should be so narrow and have beds that end in a sharp concave. Beds should be flat. But these water beds look as if they were cut into the landscape.
The lakes seemed as if they were formed by filling the injury in the landscape with water. This hypothesis becomes convincing because of the narrow width but the long straight length of the lake. The lake doesn't meander. It cuts straight across the plane. It passes through mountains, valleys, plains, and forests all the same.
One of the forests that the lake passes through at the edge of the plane contains a ruin. It is a large structure that has sunken into the ground. Vines, moss, and other plants have covered the ruin. They and the other elements of nature have worn the ruin into a state of decay. This ruin is certainly old. It is ancient and heading towards total destruction. But it is not forgotten.
There are people who remember what used to be in this place before the forest came and covered it all up. These people remember the city that used to be here. Many don't long for those days anymore. But some people want a return to those times. They don't see a forest of prosperity. They only see the decay of the past and the relics buried beneath the forest.
Some of those people are determined enough to bring back that past. They are so determined that they are willing to do anything to make it so. So the ruins have not been forgotten and the past that they represent is more than remembered, it is longed for. It is for that agenda, that some people are conversing within the ruin right now.
----
If you go down from the surface to the ruins below, you will realize just how big this forest is. It is because the structures of the ruin are massive. The doorways and rooms are so large, it is as if they were made for large people. Most doors reach 70 meters tall. Some doors are as tall as 100 Meters. And yet, the trees of the forest buried these large structures with their roots. They must be some pretty large trees.
The ruin should be quiet apart from the occasional sound made by animals making a living in this ghost of archaic times. But you will hear the sound of many footsteps right now. It is either that there are many people here or there is a single person here with many legs. Either way, the ruin seems full of activity because of the footsteps.
If one follows the sound of the footsteps through the decrepit and mossy structures, one will come to find the people making all the noise in this ancient place. There are 5 people meeting here. Each one of them is about 10 meters tall. And yet they seem tiny compared to everything around them.
These people are conversing silently. It is their footstep that is making all the noise. The ruin literally shakes each time they strike it with their feet. These people sure seem heavy despite looking so small compared to their surroundings.
"What is the plan?" One of the people here asked.
This person has purple skin and purple hair. She has a form and posture that indicate that she is female, at least to others of her race. She might not look feminine to other races at all because her body is marred with scars and she is muscular. So she looks fearsome.
She also appears to be the leader of her group. There are three others standing behind her while she faces the person she just asked a question with her arms folded on her chest and a frown on her face.
The person she asked wasn't cowered by her demeanor or by the fact that he was a single party facing off with a party of four.
He answered with a calm but cutting tone, "You know your part and that's all that is required. You do your part and we do ours."
The lady's face began to morph. Her previous frown changed into a scowl. Everyone could tell that she was getting angry.
