Meredith looked at the excited black dragon and said with a smile, "Todd..."

Todd stopped, shook his dragon head, and sighed, "Alright, what do you want to know? I can trade you information."

"First, tell me about absolute will. I have been following this matter for hundreds of years, and I am eager to know the answer."

Todd nodded helplessly: "As far as I know, the absolute will you speak of is also called the Crystal Constellation. They were created by some higher-level beings and are mainly responsible for managing and observing this universe. Their purpose is to record the diversity of biological changes and find the optimal path for species development."

Meredith's face was filled with confusion. She asked in a puzzled tone, "Higher-order creatures? Diversity changes? Optimal pathways for species development?"

Todd closed his eyes: "These are the exact words Crystal told me, and I don't know what he meant. Okay, now it's your turn to answer my question."

Meredith didn't hesitate at all: "Those scrolls are kept in the Elders' Palace in the Supuha Mountains to the south..."

Todd exclaimed in surprise, "The Council of Elders?!"

Meredith glanced at Todd: "I suspect that the female companion you went to the Shadow Kingdom with in the past—Ratchet—seems to have been keeping some things from you."

Annoyed, Todd fell silent for a moment, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

“Meredis! Tell me the details of the Muaiyed Scroll!”

The woman whose name was called smiled and put the raven mask back on. She spoke softly to the black dragon before her, "Todd, take me into your soul space. I want to see the world you once inhabited!"
