"You were given an opportunity to enter The Mysterious Abyss, yet you didn't fully use your time and just ended your stay after hundred and a half thousands of years, didn't even gone past two hundred thousand!"
"But even though you didn't go past two hundred thousand years, you should've learned some things about laws, magic, curses, and some stuff, but what did you do? You focused with leading a stupid empire that you wouldn't even go back to! And even if you go back, your existence would not even be important there because there is someone else more powerful there that would certainly stop you if you do some overbearing things! You should've learned all the things you needed to learn there like fighting, forging, crafting, all kinds of things that would help you in creation!"
"Although you learned to be indifferent there, you totally do not know how to control or decide when to use that indifference of yours, therefore failing to make the optimal decisions."
"Another thing; Simping!" Suddenly, in the middle of Old Man Sanyi's rants, he uttered a word that even Matthias, who knew that the Old Man is omniscient, didn't expect him to say.
"Simping?! You could say things like that?!" He gawked.
"You think I wouldn't speak of things like that just because I'm from a historical cultivation setting? Don't even! I am even of a greater simp than you are!" Old Man Sanyi snorted. He shook his head abruptly and reprimanded, "Why are we even talking about this? Stop focusing on the unnecessary parts and focus on what I'm teaching!"
"Even though we know that you don't really simp that much, I know that you totally bias that penguin! But don't even think of interfering in her life just because you could!"
"Heaven and Earth, even if they are just creation, would still always be the absolute upon mortal creation. Even though you are a god of creation, you certainly aren't the true absolute that gets to decide fate. Even Creator Gods are bound by Fate, for it is one of the absolutes."
"Before making a decision, always reflect on yourself first. Anything you do with your godly authority influences everything of your creation. You could just create a pebble and it could literally alter things. If you want to act upon the mortal realm, do so as a mortal. If you tackle the realm of the mortals as an immortal, you could tilt events itself. Although Fate always decides what would happen, you could still be precautious about things you wouldn't want to happen."
"Another thing I want to say is this; You're a creator GOD, not just a creator. You don't need materials in creation, you can just create it by simply creating it. I remember you creating a hair stick out of a plant that you grew inside your teenie little garden. Although what you're doing is somewhat logical for a mortal who likes saving some energy by just creating once and just letting it grow then harvest from it so you don't need to create it again, it will only be logical if you are a mortal! Those kinds of resources must only be used for emergency purposes like when you don't have your godcraft!"
"Next.." Out of nowhere, "Wait, I think I'm getting too far." Old Man Sanyi suddenly stopped reprimanding him, which made Matthias lost in that rant.
"Can you continue? I was learning a lot there!" Matthias whined. "No, that's too much now. I was only going to reprimand you about being too mushy in front of someone who knows of your true identity." Old Man Sanyi shook his head, "If you know that they know that you are what they know, then you've got to show some authority. Don't be too much of a goody two shoes." He remarked.
"After all the things I said, remember these words that, although unfortunate to hear, will always be the truth; Indifference is a must for a god. Mightiness is a must for a god. Being too virtuous would destroy you. Although mortals will always be far from immortals, they have one thing that will always be the same; they have greed."
"For knowledge, they would go through all lengths, like ordering their creations to invade other galaxies for additional knowledge to gather. To improve what they create, they would need knowledge. What if a powerful god decided to order his minions to infiltrate your galaxy and steal knowledge? Would you just let them because they are just mortals? No! Once they develop much, they would certainly occupy your creation and steal resources from your subjects! Your subjects would definitely suffer!"
"So, you need to either annihilate them or return them to their respective galaxies. Even if the god is more powerful than you, don't just cower and let the god rule over you. Be strong in both body, soul, and mind! Although Creator Gods are classified into ranks, knowledge is still more important than them, because even if you advance into the highest level of Creator God, you would still be defeated by a knowledgeable god who is four ranks below you. So work hard and become a powerful and knowledgeable god who can protect his subjects!"
After that long lecture, Matthias suddenly noticed that Princess Raya was looking at him worriedly, "Are you okay, Matthias?" She asked.
Matthias' eyes abruptly opened wide, "What did you call me?"
"Matthias. That's your name, right? You've been staring blankly there for some seconds just now. Did you notice something wrong? Has your insight about laws improved again? You're really a genius."
Having been fed by too many unbelievable things, Matthias thought, "What happened?"
"Eh. With the approval of Him, I fixed some things here. First of all, you're not in a place where they know you are an emperor, so you don't need to use that disguise name. Second, using a Mandarin name inside a world like this isn't really that much of a fit. Thirdly, Han Jianyu is really just a long ass name for the people here who only use their first name and very rarely use their surname. Lastly, Matthias is really a great name to use here." Old Man Sanyi said casually as if it's an everyday thing. "Oh, and also, I made them see that you grew the plants like crazy when you used the law of healing. You better comprehend the laws better now so that you can live with that image.
"You mean you did this?! How?! And why are you so casual when saying this?!" Matthias bombarded the old man with questions while hiding from the outside that he is stupefied.
"Yes, I did this. As for how, I can't tell you directly, but It's just Reality Distortion." Old Man Sanyi 'shrugged' and answered.
"Reality Distortion?! How can you say that kind of godlike ability with the word 'just'?!" Matthias yelled inside.
"Hey, hey, calm down, little guy. I already did so one time before this, remember?" Old Man Sanyi consoled him.
"When?! Did you alter my memory too?!" Matthias flared.
"There you are again using your stupidity, I told you not to use that crap here." The old man retorted. "If I altered your memory, I wouldn't have to ask you if you remember, dimwit."
"Wha– how did this turn into me being lectured?!" Matthias scoffed, "When? When did you do so?!" He asked with ridicule.
"When I distorted what happened when we first met! The people not remembering anything?" Old Man Sanyi stated.
"You only casted a spell in accordance with the laws! And you said that it was just a Samethrigiu Array that only involves all that is spiritual. Reality is physical and tangible!" Matthias argued.
"Uh-huh, Mhmm. You remembered it. Good, good." Old Man Sanyi nodded in approval. "But I can definitely tell you that anything that changes things that were meant to happen or was meant to be perceived is Reality Distortion. The Samethrigiu Array is an array that tackles the laws of souls and spirits, so the array itself cannot be Reality Distortion, it's how you use it."
"Anyways, good luck again!" Old Man Sanyi then stopped talking after.
"Matthias? Are you still listening? It would be a pity if you miss what I'm teaching you. You are talented with the laws. I saw that just minutes ago." Princess Raya waved her hand made of light in front of his face.
"O-Oh? S-Sorry about that. I was just thinking of something." Matthias apologized.
"Don't worry about it. I just thought that if I accepted you as my student, I would really teach you everything, so I want you to understand everything." She replied.
"Then, now that you have proved that you already understand the law of healing, we can go to the laws of nature. The laws of nature cover all the elements. Although the law of nature is hard to master, just know that the law of nature first requires harmony with the surroundings. If you're not in harmony, then you wouldn't be able to use them. You can try, you're a talent anyway." She explained and quizzed him.
