Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100

Chapter 1260  Life Space Rings

Freya held the ring between her fingers with the same steady poise she always carried, yet her voice carried a quiet note of pride that did not escape anyone in the hall. ”This is a Life Space Ring,” she said. ”Only someone who has mastered the fifth level of the concept of space to an exceptional degree can create something like this.” Her gaze moved to Max with a softness that came only from an older sister admiring her younger brother.

Max met her look with a gentle smile. ”Yes. This is a Life Space Ring. I have been working on the idea for a long time. I remember seeing rings like these in the Divine Realm. The moment I learned about them, I always wondered if I could recreate one with my own understanding. Those memories gave me the foundation I needed.”

He placed his hand lightly on the table. ”But I should clarify something. This one is the lowest quality version of a Life Space Ring. It can only store humans whose strength is at or below the Divine Rank. The Life Space Rings I saw in the Divine Realm were extremely rare and far more advanced. They could store beings whose strength far surpassed the Divine Rank, but that also depended on the craftsmanship and quality of the ring.”

Freya nodded slowly. ”Even then, this is still a remarkable feat. Creating a Life Space Ring in the mortal realm is as difficult as ascending to the Divine Realm without an ascension tunnel. There are things even the greatest leaders of this world could never hope to accomplish, yet you stand here with something that should not exist in this realm at all. You did well.”

Max did not speak for a moment. He simply let her praise wash over him while he recalled how this idea had truly begun. It had started inside his Dimension of Spirit, during one of his quiet moments with Alice and Lenavira.

He had warned them both about the fate of their world. He told them that the dark red cloud would devour everything, no matter how hard they fought. Their expressions that day were full of fear and worry, yet Lenavira had asked him something simple.

”Can you store everyone inside your Dimension of Spirit? Is it possible to keep the whole world safe in there?”

Her question had lingered in his mind long after she asked it. He replayed it again and again. At first he told her it was impossible. His Dimension of Spirit was a cultivation structure, not a refuge.

But the idea she planted took root inside him. Then the memories of the Divine Realm surfaced. He remembered the rare Life Space Rings he had once seen, stored deep within the vaults of powerful clans.

Those two inspirations merged together.

From Lenaviraʼs question came the desire.

From the Divine Realm came the knowledge.

And from the Void Genesis Art came the power and the method.

He looked at Freya, then at the other leaders, and said quietly, ”I only created this because I had to. If the world is going to fall, then we must find a way for the people to live. This ring is not perfect, but it is enough to save millions.”

For a brief moment, the hall was silent.

Not out of confusion.

Not out of shock.

But out of the heavy realization that, for the first time since the calamity began, a real path to survival had appeared.

Max rested his palms on the table. ”I can make as many of these Life Space Rings as I want,” he said quietly, ”but that alone will not solve everything. There is a fundamental problem that you all need to understand. Even if I created hundreds of them, I am the only one who can ascend to the Divine Realm without an ascension tunnel so carrying a hundred of them was pointless.”

Freya, who had been listening in calm silence until now, suddenly interrupted him. Her voice held a sharp edge of disbelief and concern. ”Wait. You can ascend to the Divine Realm without an ascension tunnel?”

Max turned toward her and smiled in a way that concealed more than it revealed. ”Yes. I can do that. How? Let us keep that a secret for now.” His tone was gentle, as if reassuring an older sister who had spent years worrying about a younger sibling who walked willingly into the jaws of danger.

Freya exhaled slowly, relief softening her expression. ”As long as you can leave this world before the devouring spirit reaches its limit, I am fine,” she said. Her voice carried the exhaustion of someone who had seen too many futures end in ruin and only cared about saving one person she could not bear to lose. She had her own methods, that much was certain, but neither of them said it aloud.

What Max did not tell her or the others was the truth simmering beneath his calm exterior. Ever since he had comprehended the fifth level of both time and space, he could feel the world pushing against him like a tide. Its laws rejected him, unable to contain him anymore.

Every day the pull became stronger, like invisible hands trying to push him out of the mortal realm entirely. Max understood the meaning behind it. The moment he ascended to the Divine Rank, he would no longer have the choice to stay. The world would expel him, and he would be forced to ascend whether he wanted to or not.

But that was his burden to carry later.

Right now, the world needed a plan.

”So,” Max continued, returning the discussion to the table. ”I will give you ten rings in total.” He placed nine more beside the first. ”I want all of you to begin storing every human you can find into these Life Space Rings. Do not worry about space. Each of these rings contains a world inside them, and they can hold every human in Acaris. Not just Middle Domain. All of Acaris.”

A heavy silence sank into the room as the weight of his statement settled on them. The idea that the entire human population could be safeguarded inside ten rings was absurd, hopeful, terrifying, and miraculous all at once.

Maxʼs expression hardened slightly. ”But you must do this in complete secrecy. If the demons discover this, everything collapses. They will attack the rings. They will target the carriers. And our plan will fall apart before we save even a fraction of the people.”

Every leader in the chamber straightened and nodded with solemn determination.

Freya turned toward the tiger-masked man. ”Leader of the Obsidian Order,” she commanded, her voice steady as granite, ”you will take responsibility for this operation.”

The masked man bowed his head without hesitation. The Obsidian Order had always existed in the shadows, unseen and unheard, moving silently where no one else could. If any force in the world could execute a task like this without attracting attention, it was them.

Max waited until the room settled before he spoke again. ”There is one more thing.” His voice shifted into something sharper, something that carried the weight of a coming storm. ”I have found a way to strike the demons directly. A way to exterminate them for good.”

The leaders leaned forward. The tension doubled. The air itself seemed to hold its breath.

Max smiled. But this time the smile was cold, decisive, and full of quiet confidence—the kind that appeared only when he had found a path no one else could see.
