Kayden slowly forgot even the environment he was in before. In his memory, only important events were mentioned, the rest were completely unimportant to him. The names of the captains of the ships he took or the planets he passed through disappeared from his memory.
The thousands of years quickly turned into tens of thousands of years, and Kayden continued with the same level of understanding, it was practically an impossible task he was trying to accomplish.
"Primordial mana", Kayden baptized this mana with that name, this was the only explanation for it to be so superior to everything he had ever seen. Not even divine mana was that complex.
Kayden spent his first 100,000 years in this place in the blink of an eye. At this point, he had spent more time in this environment than living his life and yet he didn’t seem to be close to achieving anything.
No matter what he tried or what test he took, everything was always the same and he got nowhere. This was the hardest task Kayden had ever done in his life. He spent more time in this environment than any other.

In a way, Kayden spent 100,000 years focused on just one task, his perception of time and willpower were completely broken. Any other wizard would have freaked out in this environment.
Probably only a few mages above the seventh realm could do something like that. In the universe, it was quite common for mages to level up quickly with a lot of resources. A ninth realm wizard could be less than a thousand years old, for example, and his expectation would easily reach 1 billion years.
The years passed as if they were seconds, Kayden had no progress, at least until a certain day when he accidentally caused a serious injury to his body and saw the mana from the environment entering him at high speed.
His injury was an explosion in his base and his path, it was not a physical injury but something spiritual, it was a small mistake that had happened a few times in the past and resulted in him having to recover for a few months to be able to continue moving forward.
Its base hasn’t been completely fixed it hasn’t even been modified. Kayden couldn’t understand exactly what happened, but the pain disappeared and his mind was completely clear.
"A healing mana?" That was his thought, but in the end, he got nowhere. Over the next few years, Kayden abandoned any rationality and messed with his base, causing damage dozens of times.
It just created small tears that repaired itself in just a few days. Every time, mana would come in and cure him of something he didn’t even know existed and then return to normal. The stronger the injury, the more mana entered.
His vital force did not undergo any change during this period, but Kayden noticed that during his tests it was this mana that entered him that made him capable of maintaining his vital energy at the same level.
Large injuries to his structure changed his life force until he was healed, it was as if the injuries were stones in a pond, until the stone was removed the pond was left with a smaller amount of life force.
The vital mana was like a springboard for this situation, as it caused the stones to be easily removed in just a few seconds. The problem was that the water did not return naturally to the lagoon, it still took a few days for it to return.
It took Kayden another 100,000 years to begin to notice the small changes in his life force and even then he didn’t understand much, but he was able to remove the stones alone without having to fix his base, this was completely ridiculous.
This small action meant that he could test thousands of things without fear of permanently injuring himself, as in the end he just needed to remove this stone and wait for his body to heal itself over time.
Time passed much more quickly this time, in fact at a completely insane speed. Kayden spent more than 1 million years in this place. At that moment he lived almost 20 times longer in this environment than in any other environment in his life.
His gains again were minimal, he just started to learn how to shape his life force, and he could expand it slightly and also compress it. When his life force was compressed he would gain an increase in all of his body’s stats.
It was almost like burning his life force in exchange for strength. The difference was that within a few days, she would go back to normal unless Kayden converted her and that...let’s just say it was a great test when he tried.
An infernal pain assaulted his body when he converted his life force into mana, but that wasn’t the main problem but rather his instincts telling him that he would die every second. These small uses took millennia to be recovered, it was as if he took away a part of the lake.
The lake was just a giant living space that could be changed with a little effort, but most of the time its changes were minimal and inconsequential. Only when he utilized conversion was he able to elevate himself to real change.
This knowledge was discovered by Kayden several tens of thousands of years ago. He spent practically his entire time in a circle with no way out, understanding this mana became impossible and it had always been impossible for him.
His gains were minimal about the time he spent in this place, but luckily he didn’t have his life changed, so in a way his gains were huge. He gained new knowledge and strength for free.
The time he spent in this place was ridiculously long. Kayden spent more than 20 times his entire previous existence in this location alone. His mind did not suffer even the slightest sign of wear.
Kayden already had a willpower bordering on perfection, it would probably take tens or hundreds of millions of years for his mind to suffer the slightest sign of rupture and...
