“I might be quite a different otherworlder, you may say. A different one that never had any idea how this thing works. He just found a strange portal and jumped into it only to find himself here.”
Do you understand?” Zeras explained to him the reality of his existence here.
“Hmm, so you chanced upon a mysterious portal and jumped into it!?” Fernand asked, as Zeras nodded his head.
“Yes, that’s basically everything that happened,” he replied as he watched them both look at each other and burst into loud laughter, puffs of smoke swirling through the air.
“Hahahaha, you know young man, we believe you now. One thing about the otherworlders is that…” Fernand said, puffing on another smoke.
“They’re too prideful to lie to seemingly mortals like us,” Baltimore helped him complete, his voice holding irritation and mockery.
“Or more, they disdain talking to mortals like you. They believe we’re at the lower bottom of life, and they are mini-gods, that can only be followed and never disobeyed!” Fernand said to him, as Zeras furrowed his eyebrows.
“The otherworlders that the man was talking about were definitely geniuses from the outside world. But the world that they are from is sothing that eludes his knowledge.
He had never heard of anyone from the three sects preparing for a realm expedition to this place at all.
And the three divine sects are the strongest sects that basically control close to everything in the Takamahagara universe. There was no way they would have missed a realm like this
. So if those geniuses aren’t from the Takamahagara universe, then just where the hell did they even co from? A separate universe, or could there be a place that was still even higher in the Takamahagara universe?
He knew he ca from the Lower realms and then there was the Upper realm where the god children’s area was located.
So could there still be another realm that he had no idea about? A realm beyond the upper realm? It was a greatly puzzling question.
“I don’t think I’m aware of who they are or where they even co from. But I’ve never t with one before and can’t say they are from my world.”
“They are not from your world! They are all from different worlds, and none of them like each other.
Back then, we would often see them quarreling amongst each other, and so even killed each other in thier barbaricness.
If they were all from a common background, then they wouldn’t be acting like animals in a jungle,” Fernand said to him as Zeras nodded, yet his mind was reeling.
‘Now I fully know well, Takamahagara isn’t the only universe in this cosmos. And there aren’t just one or two but multitudes and multitudes of universes like Takamahagara! Just how big is the world?’ Zeras couldn’t help but think.
“I saw so of the books on the table and saw so inscriptions and notes about so Tower of God? What’s that all about?” Zeras asked casually, and he got his reply from Baltimore.
“That’s what all of them ca here for. The Tower. There are tales of it holding all that is needed to be a True god or sothing like that.
Based on completing so sort of trial and getting rewarded or sothing like that,” Baltimore said to him as Hale’s eyebrow raised in confusion, yet his mind was reeling inside.
‘The Tower of God!? Could it be the sa tower that is appearing all over the sect?’ he pondered. ‘The Book. I need to check the book,’ Zeras thought to himself.
He could confidently say he was the one who had brought about the appearance of those towers in one way or the other and it was due to him checking that sealed book in the Martial God Hall.
He had been unable to even view the book once after that, due to his intense cultivation and various important situations he’s had. But now he had to check it.
He could rember having awakened a page or two of it. Perhaps, it could help him navigate through the darkness of it all.
“Your daughter has written a lot of these things down. It must have taken real years to jot down, and the hard work is sothing comndable, don’t you think?” Zeras suddenly said standing up from the sofa and heading toward the table, where he viewed the various notes present on the table.
From it, there were thousands of hypotheses and seemingly completed theories, thousands of mysterious questions, thousands of answers.
It was like the diary of a mad scientist trying to unravel the secrets of ancient dark magic.
The amount of work put in it shocked him greatly, but also piqued his curiosity. Why would anyone do this?
“Ahhh, you know what they say about the cat, don’t you?”
“Curiosity kills the cat,” Zeras responded.
“True. There are so among us, the original dwellers of this world, who are very interested in the otherworlders, wanting to uncover the secrets that lay behind their seemingly mythical abilities. Naive ones,” Fernand said as Zeras nodded continuously.
“But you can see it like a mortal who sighted a god once.
There will be a forever unending burn in his or her heart to find out the truth about the existence of gods. You can call it natural even.
Every man spends all of his years trying to correct his own disability. Sighting a god only reminds him even more of his own disability and hence an even greater want to correct the disability, you know?” Zeras replied casually as Fernand looked at his back, his eyes flashing in shock, before he scoffed.
“A mortal’s curiosity about a god, and his daringness to go searching out will only lead to his or her death.
There are thousands of people in such a situation, who choose of their own free will to accompany a god in order to learn more of his existence.
Guess what? None of them ever return. Even after the so-called god returns, with not a wound, they are always mysteriously gone.
That shows you it was more than true that the god had sacrificed them for his own greater agenda…”
