Since when did it return to my inventory? I couldn’t tell. But last time I checked, I couldn’t find any trace of such an awesome statue.

I opened its description and revised everything written there. Once I read through a few lines, my puzzlement started to grow deeper.

I got a few answers already, but also got more questions as well.

This sea was supposed to be a lake not a sea. This magical artefact was supposed to instruct a lake with magical waters.

I recalled a distant talk with Silverlining. The sovereign who gave me such a valuable magical artefact already made great wealth by trading such water.

It has the ability to grow land and heal those on the brink of death. It was magical, but why did things here differ?

Under my puzzlement I started roaming this world.

Previously, this place was small compared to the first layer. After all, it only encompassed the central zone of the first layer.

However after exploring it for a few days, I was met with another shocking discovery.

“This… Don’t tell me this is a continent!!!”

In front of my eyes land ceased to exist and only a grand space of water appeared. This time, the water surface churned with mighty waves, making me guess this wasn’t a sea, but an ocean!

An ocean! Dammit! When did all these things appear here?

I couldn’t control my curiosity anymore and spent an entire month wandering around this world.

One thing I learnt, this wasn’t a lawyer anymore, but an entire grand world! Calling it a small world was an understatement!

I found ten huge and medium-sized continents in the middle of many oceans. Even after flying for one month, I couldn’t reach the end of this place!

Endless water surfaced in front of me, giving me a deep and unfathomable impression about this place.

Even after one month, and after exploring this place using my chariot’s top speed, I couldn’t find an end to it!

And all my explorations happened in just one direction! What about the opposite direction? What about other directions?

Damn! How huge was this world exactly?!!

During this one month, I squeezed my mind to find clues about what happened here. All I could find was traces of faint memories about my talk with the lady of the statue.

She seemed to speak about using my kingdom’s heart and turning this place into a world. But girl, couldn’t you be so overbearing when doing things?

As I realised that exploring this place was going to take much more time than planned, I decided to give up and leave this task for someone else.

I have plenty of time at hand. But I had to finish wrapping up things and plans that I drew before.

I saved many bookmarks in the continents I discovered. Putting aside this unexplained phenomenon, I got a grand world filled with tons of resources to explore!

Not to mention grand forests, I saw many places filled with exposed ores on the surface. I knew they were exposed veins of ores, and that told me how rich these places were with ores and minerals.

That was just perfect! I was worried about how to bring resources here for the research department to use. And now I got a grand open new world to explore, filled with such rich and awesome resources.

Just using my staff I went directly back to the first layer’s entrance zone.

My plans… They should all change!

That world was just too much for just the research department. From my long exploration, I got that it was on a larger scale than my second Earth world!

Leaving this only to one department? Hell no! I’d turn this world into another place for my training grounds.

“Finally! I thought you forgot about us!” As I appeared, I was welcomed with the grand sight of many people moving around.

Many were moving resources, while others were lining up in wait. The grand bubble of my chariot still flashed with light to obscure what was going inside.

One month time passed, and I believed it was enough to finish building the altars and start the process of opening cultivation.

On one side, I noticed a group of people sitting cross legged. Air swirls came all around them in torrents. They were cultivating. And they all were humans!

“You did it!” I looked at the annoyed Lily while she harrumphed back.

“Your chariot is a beast! Just one day out here is equal to a hundred inside! What did you expect? These are just the tenth batch coming out… Oh wait, see out there? The eleventh batch came out!”

I looked, and as she said a line of people came out. They were around fifty thousand in number. And that meant they built fifty thousand altars at my chariot’s affected territory.

“Great job! But I need you two to come with me right now!” I noticed the leaders of the research department hurrying at me with their chariots so I waited for them to arrive.

Old Gan was the one leading them, and they had a look of worry over their faces. They were asked to break everything apart and mobilise here without any explanation.

After coming, they all had to wait without doing anything. They were restless, and I could understand that.

“You’ll come with me as well,” I said before any of them would express their dissatisfaction and complaints.

The next instant I opened a portal and went through it. “Come with me,” I said before vanishing.

For a few minutes, none followed before seven chariots appeared through the portal. It seemed my sudden actions after my disappearance for one month left them all baffled.

But when they arrived here, their doubts and puzzlement changed into immense shock.

“This… What is this beautiful place?!!” The look of shock appeared on two more than others; Lily and Angelica.

They saw this world before, and suffered greatly from it. They have never seen something so beautiful in this world before like this place. And above all, they felt it was immensely huge.
