The invitation was meant for Atlas, but Kayden stopped him from accepting it. Atlas needed to strengthen his mind without shortcuts and continue going through soul sessions during this period—being away for ten thousand years was too long without stabilizing. As a result, Kayden received the invitation in his place. He saw it as a great opportunity to push his sixth sense to its limit, which at that moment spanned 25,000 kilometers—a staggering amount, though Kayden believed he could achieve much more.
Master and disciple traveled through various space portals to one of the most distant points on the planet. There was absolutely nothing there—just a vast stone desert devoid of life or civilization. It was so remote that it would take months of travel at a good speed to reach this place. Kayden and Atlas easily found their destination, as all the mana in the area was being pulled toward the center of the desert like a black hole.
