Chapter 269 Chat With That Woman
The woman did not stop observing Ciel even when Ciel arrived in front of her.
It took a few minutes before she said anything.
"Sit here," she said, patting the cloud at her side.
It seemed that she wanted Ciel to sit beside her.
Ciel chose not to speak right away, he sat down as she asked.
So far, Ciel felt that she did intend to tell him many things.
Perhaps it would be the secret of everything.
"Let's talk about the world and the universe," she continued right after Ciel sat down.
When he heard that, Ciel's expression immediately became serious.
"There are countless worlds, the Seven Realms is just one of them, not even considered important. However, a world, no matter how much genius it has, how much beauty it has, will be destroyed before it grows again. It was a natural phenomenon. However, it was only for weak worlds. A strong world could survive such a natural phenomenon, but unfortunately even a strong world would also be destroyed, even wiped out. This time it's not because of a natural phenomenon, but because someone wants it that way."
"What is the dark hand?" Ciel's eyes widened after he heard the woman's words.
"You seem to have seen it," the woman said.
"That's right, on the outside, life is so beautiful, so bustling, full of infinite potential. However, when that hand appears, it is the end of a civilization. What's worse, just looking at that hand directly is enough to make a civilization tainted by evil forces, corrupting the cultivation of the people in that civilization so that they have to eat the unpolluted people to cultivate. The Ancient Night Race was an example of that. Experts had always tried to find a way to stop that dark hand, but unfortunately, no one had succeeded until now. Of course, everyone keeps trying, including me."
"Who exactly is the owner of the dark hand?" asked Ciel.
The story the woman told sounded so horrible, making Ciel finally realize that even he with all the magic would meet his end if he met the dark hand without preparing enough power.
The problem was that even a God King would die, so how to stop it.
"The owner of the dark hand?" The question made the woman look up at the sky.
However, after that she shook her head.
"Let's not talk about that right now. The more important thing is about cultivation, only cultivation can make us survive. And, there is actually a solution to fight that dark hand, one can do it."
"Who?" asked Ciel.
"Heaven," the woman replied.
"Are you talking about Yelina?" Ciel was surprised when he heard the word Heaven, and immediately thought of Yelina.
"Yes!" The woman nodded.
"Who exactly is she?"
"She is definitely the most unique creature in the universe. However, I'm also not sure how to explain it to you because Heaven has too complicated a history. Simply put, it was the beginning of everything. However, it disappeared as it disintegrated to create countless lives and worlds. In the end, it appeared again, forming a race.
"In the universe, there is only one Heaven Race. Many claim that name, but only the Heaven Race in the Seven Realms is truly real. The word Heaven on their foreheads is proof of that. You might be surprised, but the Ancient Night Race's goal is to protect that race. They even sealed this world from being detected by other civilizations. It's just that, since the Ancient Night Race can't live without eating humans, so conflicts are inevitable.
"Indeed, they also have selfishness considering that they could have enlisted the help of a trusted cultivator to protect Heaven.
"However, we can't predict when Heaven can fully revive, so we also need to fight on our own so that we can survive. Right now, I'm already a God King, but my potential might be exhausted here. That's different from you growing up with two Heavenly Treasures, your destiny is very unpredictable. Perhaps, someday you can reach a level that exceeds that of a God King."
"I'm afraid it will take a very long time before I become a God King." Ciel smiled wryly.
At this point, he was not yet interested in asking the woman what their relationship was. He was more interested in the cultivation she was talking about.
Plus, he was sure she would explain more later.
"You can become the Supreme God when the Ice Goddess succeeds with her plan," the woman replied.
"After that, you will fuse with all the Holy Flames. That will make you extremely powerful, able to compete with the False God King as a Supreme God. Although that is not enough to make you a God King, there will be a time when you manage to truly become one because your foundation is so extraordinary. When you manage to become a God King, your strength will definitely be above average.
"Perhaps you don't know, but the Holy Flames are one of the most extraordinary objects. The unity of them all is equivalent to Heavenly Treasures in terms of rarity. The Seven Realms have them all, this is probably due to the existence of the Heaven Race that increased the blessings of this world."
"Are you serious? However, I don't have any other Holy Flames other than the one on my body," Ciel replied, surprised again by the information the woman gave.
"Don't worry about that, I can gather all the Holy Flames in this world, but that doesn't include the First Rank Holy Flame, the Eternal Flame. Even you who have fused with the Heavenly Flame Gem can't because it's too powerful. If you fused with that Flame, you would practically become a God King directly. Unfortunately, you need a lot of other preparations for that Flame. Everything I said before does not include that one."
"I have enough patience," Ciel said after hearing her words, smiling slightly.
After that, the woman strangely stopped speaking. She just continued to stare at Ciel.
This made Ciel hesitate, also making him want to ask questions since she apparently didn't say anything.
Fortunately, before he asked, she spoke first.
"You must want to know about our relationship," she said.
Ciel nodded to her.
"I'm sure you guessed it," the woman replied. "Yeah, you're my son, and I'm the reincarnation of the Ancient Night King. Of course, it would be more correct to say that you are the son of the Ancient Night King. It's actually no different because your soul comes from my soul."
"Then why am I not like the Ancient Night Race?" asked Ciel.
Surprisingly, he did not show any exaggerated expression after hearing that.
"Because you have been purified," the woman replied.
"Was my life designed by you? I mean, any luck I have?" Ciel asked that because he thought the woman would not speak up to that point.
To his surprise, she shook her head.
"Your talent was lost since you were purified, you're very average in terms of talent. And I was also in the process of reincarnation at that time, so I could only leave you to grow on your own. Letting you stay in the Ancient Night Race's territory is very unlikely, you can't live there. Of course, there is my power in this world that will protect you if you run into trouble that will definitely get you killed. There's no way I'd leave you unprotected. You can't detect that because the power is protecting you from afar, and it doesn't matter, my power can reach every point in the Seven Realms and in the Ancient Night Race's territory faster than anyone else.
"My plan was to help you grow up after I completed my reincarnation. However, unexpectedly, you grew up so well despite having no talent. That you obtained two Heavenly Treasures is your own luck. The two treasures do exist in this world, but even I don't know where they are located."
"Then why does the Eyes of Heaven seem to appear in front of me?" asked Ciel.
At this point, he didn't need to hide that because she knew very well what he had. The observation of a God King could obviously penetrate many secrets, even if it was only a False God King. After all, only a remnant remnant of the spirit of the Immortal Domain owner can also know that Ciel has two Heavenly Treasures."
"It should have been in the place where you found it from the beginning, but it was in a dormant state, probably deep underground. You know, even Heavenly Treasures can be damaged, and it takes time to recover. When it recovers, there is nothing strange about it surfacing on its own until someone finds it."
