- Earth Core Area.
The Earth's Core Area, which used to be a paradise on Earth filled with plants, then turned into hell, but now, after Taufik created a new Earth's Core, the Earth's Core Area has changed again.
With Taufik's intervention, the Earth's Core Area was reborn and beca a brand new land. A whole new dinsion.
A new Heart of The Earth.
Taufik, who wields the power of Concept, the power of god, did not simply restore what was lost; he reshaped it entirely.
The new Earth's Core Area now pulses with an eerie yet srizing energy. Unlike its previous forms, it no longer conforms to the natural order of the world. Instead, it has beco a realm between life and death, creation and destruction.
The sky no longer follows the cycle of day and night. Instead, an eternal twilight bathes the land, casting long, shifting shadows. These shadows are alive, responding to Taufik's will and protecting the land from intruders.
A vast forest of onyx-colored trees that constantly regenerate. The trees absorb ambient energy and, in tis of crisis, would release waves of raw power. These trees can also shift locations, confusing those who enter without permission.
A river of liquid darkness that flows in reverse, defying gravity. It carries echoes of the past, allowing those attuned to it to glimpse forgotten mories.
A deep chasm at the heart of the land, from which the power of Darkness subtly radiates. Anything thrown into the rift is either erased from existence or transford into sothing new.
And above that chasm, right in the middle, suspended in the air, a sphere of energy pulsed with a faint glow, serene yet carrying the weight of impending doom.
That was the very Heart of the Earth. The New Earth Core. A manifestation of pure, untad energy, it hovered in the abyss, its glow both tranquil and overwhelming, radiating a power that sustained the world itself.
Besides the New Earth Core, Taufik floated in silence, his once-long hair now cascading endlessly, covering his face like a veil of shadow. His clothes had long since crumbled, unable to withstand the sheer force radiating from the Core. Yet, he remained unmoving, unwavering.
Since the mont he began recharging it, he had surrendered himself to the process, allowing his Mana, his Life Force, and his very Concept to flow outward, lding with the newly reborn Heart of the Earth.
The energy pulsed around him, an unspoken harmony between a Man and the world itself.
This transford land is no longer just a place, it is a force, a living entity that bends to Taufik's will.
It is neither paradise nor hell, but sothing beyond mortal understanding. Those who step into it must either prove their worth…
Or be consud by its mysteries.
--------
Taufik, who had remained utterly still, not even shifting an inch, suddenly stirred. From beneath the curtain of his impossibly long hair, his eyes, sealed in deep concentration, snapped open.
Not because of any external force, nor due to the imnse energy surrounding him, but because he sensed it.
An invisible thread of life reaching out, connecting to him. It was faint yet undeniable, like a whisper in the void, a presence that called to sothing deep within him.
His once-closed eyes now glowed with an unfathomable light, reflecting the unseen force that had stirred him from his stillness.
"... A new life has been born in the world... My descendant... Tina?"
Taufik said, his voice hoarse and unsteady, barely forming the words. It was the first ti he had spoken since he began filling the New Earth Core with energy. His throat burned from disuse, his breath ragged, but none of that mattered.
"... So she... Was... Pregnant?... I see... She gave birth... And once again... I was not by their side... At tis... like this... *Sigh* "
'System, show the progress of filling the Earth's Core, how long until it's finished?'
[DING]
[Earth Core Recharge Progress: 97.9%. Estimated Ti Remaining is 3 Days, 17 Hours, 42 Minutes, Master]
Hearing that, Taufik exhaled slowly, his fingers twitching as he resisted the urge to abandon the process imdiately.
Three more days. Just three more days and the New Earth Core would be fully stabilized.
But could he afford to wait that long?
His thoughts churned like the shifting shadows around him. He had missed Aksara's childhood, leaving Jenn, Rani, Anugerah, and Kaela during their pregnancy; now, Tina. He was not there at all, during her pregnancy and when she gave birth. Unable to be there when they needed him the most. Now, history was repeating itself.
Form Tina. A new life had entered the world, carrying his blood, his legacy. And once again, he was absent.
"... Even... After I... Said those... Words..."
Taufik muttered under his breath.
The energy around him trembled, responding to his emotions. The onyx trees at the edges of the realm whispered, their leaves rustling without wind. The reverse-flowing river darkened as if reflecting his turmoil.
He had two choices: Stay and complete the process, ensuring that the New Earth Core reaches its full potential, securing the balance of the world, Or Leave now, rushing to find his family, even if it ant risking the Earth's Core's stability.
Both choices carried consequences.
If he left now, the Earth Core's rebirth could beco unstable, leading to unknown disasters. But if he stayed, would he regret it for the rest of his life?
The weight of responsibility pressed on him from both sides.
"A man must see through what he has begun to the very end and that is what we call responsibility"
Those words echoed in Taufik's mind.
Those words were not his own. They belonged to his father, a man who once had vanished without a trace, leaving behind only mories and an unfulfilled duty, trapped in the past.
Taufik clenched his fists.
The Earth Core pulsed, radiating waves of power that threatened to spiral out of control.
He could stabilize it, and ensure its rebirth went smoothly. But staying ant turning his back on sothing else sothing equally important.
His gaze lifted to the darkened sky. Sowhere beyond, the unknown awaited him. A truth he had yet to uncover. A fight he had yet to finish. He knows, at the right mont this core is stabilized and can work normally like the old Earth's core.
Taufik knows it; he can feel it; all creatures in this universe will feel the aura of the Earth's Very Pure Core, the Purest Energy in the entire universe.
Taufik exhaled sharply.
He already knew his answer.
'System, if the Earth's core is stabilized and works normally, will I be able to use it as my own?'
[Yes, Master. When the Earth is stabilized, at that ti, the Master will officially beco the Aboriginal Being of the new Earth, in other words, this Earth Core is the Master's second Core]
'Good, that's all I need to know'
After that, Taufik took a deep breath, steadying himself.
The confirmation from the System clarified the significance of his decision, once the Earth's Core was fully stabilized, it would not only restore balance to the world but also beco an extension of himself.
This ant that his connection to the Earth's very foundation would be absolute, granting him authority over its energy and ensuring its long-term stability.
He had less than four days left until completion. If he left now, the process could beco unstable, potentially ruining everything he had worked for. However, if he remained, he risked missing yet another pivotal mont in his family's life.
Taufik understood the weight of his choice. If the new Earth's Core truly beca his second Core, then it would fundantally alter his existence.
The purest energy in the universe would reside within him, making him an irreplaceable force in this world, or maybe in the entire universe.
'System, just to make sure, if I complete the stabilization, will I be able to leave imdiately afterward without consequences?'
[DING]
[Yes, Master. Once the Earth's Core is fully stabilized, it will no longer require direct supervision. You will be free to leave without any negative impact on its function]
That answer settled it. The process had already reached 97.9% completion, leaving now would introduce unnecessary risk.
The risk that could accrued if he hadn't completed it now.
'... But if I completed it now... Then there's nothing to worry about, right?'
Taufik's gaze hardened as he processed the System's response.
The weight of his responsibilities pressed against him like an immovable force, yet the answer was clear.
If he completed the stabilization now, he could leave without endangering the Earth Core's balance.
No more delays. No more hesitation.
Taufik exhaled sharply, his breath rging with the swirling energies of the New Earth Core. His impossibly long hair fluttered as the pulsing glow intensified. His fingers twitched, then curled into fists.
'System, remove my energy expenditure limiter, then initiate forced stabilization. Redirect all my available energy into the Earth Core. No holding back... Let's finish this right now!'
[DING]
[WARNING]
[Forcing stabilization will consu a vast amount of energy. Master's physical and ntal state may suffer extre fatigue, are you sure you wanted to do it, Master?]
'I don't care... Do it!'
