Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100

Isabella nodded and began explaining, her expression turning solemn as she spoke of a place that few dared to truly understand. ”Orion is not an ordinary planet,” she said. ”Thousands of years ago, it was one of the main battlefields of a great war that swept across the Divine Realm. That war involved countless powerful beings, forces from different realms, and even existences that no longer leave traces in the current era.”

Her eyes lowered slightly as if recalling something distant. ”Because of that war, the entire planet was transformed. The land itself is soaked with remnants of ancient power. Fragments of laws, broken inheritances, forgotten techniques, and lost treasures are scattered across its surface. Even now, those remnants continue to influence the planet, creating environments that defy logic.”

She paused briefly before continuing, her tone growing heavier. ”That is why Orion is considered a land of opportunity. From first rate forces to third rate forces, many send their disciples there to test their luck. Some go in search of ancient inheritances. Others seek rare resources that cannot be found anywhere else. It is not an exaggeration to say that Orion is one of the most frequently explored planets in the Divine Realm.”

Max listened carefully, but he could already sense that there was more to it.

”And yet,” Isabella said, her voice turning colder, ”it is also one of the most dangerous places in existence.”

She looked directly at him, her eyes reflecting a seriousness that had not been there before. ”Orion is called a forbidden planet for a reason. Alongside its treasures, it is filled with horrors that defy understanding. The remnants of that ancient war did not simply fade away. They twisted the environment, created unstable zones, and gave birth to entities that should not exist.”

Her voice slowed slightly as she continued. ”There are places on Orion where the laws of reality themselves are broken. There are regions where time flows differently, where space collapses without warning, and where even powerful cultivators can disappear without leaving a trace. There are also ancient creatures, mutated beings, and remnants of war constructs that still wander the land, attacking anything that enters their territory.”

A faint tension appeared in her expression. ”It is said that nearly half of the people who enter Orion never return. Some die. Some vanish. And some... return as something else entirely.”

The room grew quiet again.

”At almost every step on that planet, there is a chance of death,” Isabella said finally. ”That is why, despite its treasures, Orion is considered a forbidden planet by most of the Divine Realm.”

Max remained silent after hearing all of this.

But within his eyes, there was no fear, only interest.

”This is good news,” Max said as he nodded slowly, his expression turning thoughtful rather than concerned. Instead of fear, there was a faint glimmer of anticipation in his eyes, as if the danger Isabella had just described only made the opportunity more valuable in his mind.

Isabella frowned the moment she heard his tone. She studied his face carefully before asking, ”You are not planning to go to Orion, are you?” Her voice carried a trace of disbelief, but beneath it was a clear concern. She had just explained how terrifying that place was, and yet Max did not seem the least bit hesitant.

Max smiled lightly, his expression calm but unwavering. ”I am planning to go there,” he replied without hesitation. He looked at her directly, his eyes carrying a quiet intensity as he continued. ”Isabella, there is something you must understand. If you truly want to become strong, then you cannot afford to ignore opportunities just because there is a chance of death. In this world, every path to power comes with risk. The greater the opportunity, the greater the danger that comes with it.”

He paused briefly, letting his words sink in before continuing in a more serious tone. ”Opportunities that can significantly increase your strength do not appear often. Most people spend their entire lives waiting for a single chance like that. If you let fear hold you back, then you will remain exactly where you are, no matter how talented you might be.”

Max then shifted his gaze slightly, as if thinking ahead. ”There will be a gathering of geniuses organized by a second rate force in three months, and after that comes the most important event in the entire Divine Realm, the Cosmic Ascension Conference.” His voice grew heavier as he spoke of it. ”For both of these, I need to increase my strength as much as possible. The gap between me and the true top geniuses is still too large.”

He looked back at her, his eyes steady. ”If there is even a chance that the corpse of that Black Dragon on Orion can help me grow stronger, then I cannot ignore it. No matter how dangerous it is, I have to go there and try my luck.”

A heavy silence followed his words.

Isabella stood there, her eyes fixed on him as his determination became clear to her. There was no hesitation in his voice, no trace of doubt in his expression. He had already made his decision long before she even finished explaining Orion.

For a moment, she said nothing.

Then, her expression gradually changed.

The hesitation in her eyes faded, replaced by a firm resolve.

”I will go with you,” she said.

Max looked at her for a brief moment before a faint smile appeared on his lips. ”You will have to come with me anyway,” he said casually. ”You are my maid after all.”

Isabella’s expression immediately turned sour, her brows knitting together as annoyance flashed across her face. Just as she was about to respond, Max spoke again, cutting her off before she could say anything.

”Jokes aside,” he said, his tone returning to seriousness, ”go and make preparations for Orion. As the Saintess of the Black Dragon Clan, you should have access to a high grade Star Shuttle. We will need something reliable if we are going there.”

He paused briefly before adding, ”We will leave in one week. Until then, I suggest you focus on increasing your strength. Try to break through to the Law Awakening Realm. Orion is not a place where we can afford to be careless.”

Isabella nodded slowly, her expression still serious as she absorbed his words. ”Alright,” she said.

With that, she turned and left Max’s residence, her mind already beginning to plan her next steps. She knew that the coming journey would not be simple, and if she truly intended to follow him to Orion, then she needed to be prepared for whatever awaited them on that forbidden planet.

”Time to use this week of time to consolidate my strength.” Max muttered as he once again entered the training chamber and into the Dimension of Time.
