Several people tried to approach Kayden, but the boy just blinked and disappeared into space. Kayden didn’t want to develop any friendship in this place, it didn’t make any difference to his cultivation. His new job was much simpler, he just needed to fight when called upon, and luckily the captain of this ship was a good navigator and managed to avoid most of the dangerous areas with abominations.
Normally, he had to face one battle a week. Most of the time, it was just sixth-realm abominations in a ridiculously high quantity. Kayden had an easy time dealing with groups like that, he just needed to throw thousands of aura slashes without stopping.
There were millennia of fighting on the walls with an abnormally large number of opponents, perhaps he was the most calm person about thousands of abominations, all the magicians of the seventh kingdom around him were in his shadow in the number of dead. For every second that passed, Kayden took down dozens of abominations during fights. It didn’t even take him three battles to achieve a new record on the ship that would probably be insurmountable.
Kayden killed 47 thousand abominations in one of these fights, he only spent a minimum amount of mana on each attack and managed to kill his opponents, this was mainly due to his ability to manipulate space. The aura slashes appeared directly on their opponents at a distance of less than one meter, most of the time the abominations were killed in a single move. The other wizards of the seventh realm had large-area damage spells, but in these cases, the abominations overwhelmed the attacks with their numbers.
A single simple fireball from a seventh realm mage was capable of burning a few dozen if they were caught off guard, but in this situation, they faced the attack directly in a suicidal manner. Their rationality was no longer the highest and, when they got together in groups like that, it practically ceased to exist. For some reason, eating their opponents’ attacks seemed like a very good idea to them.
"Hey, genius, let’s get something to eat, I’ll pay." Kayden received another of countless invitations after a battle. At first, they were a little scared of Kayden turning on them aggressively, but after all attempts at conversation were ignored, they lost their fear.
At the moment there were three big bets on the ship: the first was whoever managed to insert Kayden into a group, the second was whoever managed to sleep with Kayden and the third was whoever managed to beat him in a body count in battle.
Time began to pass quickly and these three bets were never won. In the blink of an eye, the five years passed, and Kayden never once talked to other people or formed a social circle.
The captain of the ship didn’t bother him with any requests about his identity, not only that he allowed Kayden to get off the ship before everyone else and disappear into the crowd of people on the last planet.
"HEY! Wait!" Kayden heard a voice behind his back after camouflaging himself for a few hours, the person who shouted at him was only in the sixth realm, but... the rest might not be. With a perfect degree of manipulation, Kayden blinked and appeared two hundred kilometers away, immediately he camouflaged his aura and blinked again, every time he blinked he attracted the attention of the strong mages in the region.
His spiritual sense went out in search of strong presences and, the moment he found them, he blinked again, a few dozen times, leaving the mages in the region with a flea behind their ears. Kayden still waited at least a month before starting to look for another ship to continue his journey, this safe approach was his best bet to remain 100% untraceable.
There were millions of organizations looking for him, Kayden would be crazy if he didn’t take all the necessary precautions. Within that month he found a new way to browse in a slightly safer way.
The mercenary organization, Kayden only needed to demonstrate his eight-ray strength and a little of his skills to get a good position in the organization, logically it was no big deal, as mercenaries value service above strength.
His rank was enough for him to get a list of ships leaving and returning from thousands of planets, he only needed a few days to organize a mission route that would take him directly to his objective. The estimated time was around 930 years, a ridiculously long time for Kayden to cross, but in the end, it was his best opportunity. He had already given up on elevating his path to an incomplete law without the necessary time.
Kayden would not stop trying in every way anyway, he continued trying to study his life force and all its facets, with each passing day he understood a little more and, at the same time, he found himself even more lost. It would take hundreds and thousands of years for him to understand the life force, this was one of the greatest secrets in the universe, something that few could manipulate, it was even rarer than manipulating space.

True immortality was directly linked to two factors: the life force and the soul, Kayden could only perceive his life force, the soul was nothing in his eyes, and he had no idea how it worked or any other information.
Time began to pass quickly, Kayden took hundreds of ships in just a few decades, they were all cargo ships and he received a reward commensurate with the distance, his rewards were never used to buy useful things.
They were used to buy the one thing he couldn’t make, which was time. The rest he already possessed, be it treasures or incredible techniques, of them were always at his disposal. Furthermore, their function was the least important in the entire mercenary federation, their rewards were almost worthless in monetary value.
Kayden had been traveling for about three centuries when something strange happened. He had saved enough to buy a trip where he wouldn’t be disturbed to work for ten years, this meant he had been in his room without moving for a long time.
