Ti Ga?”
“Yes,” nodded Cori. “The Space Elder God is ambitious yet capable. He knew that anyone who successfully broke the laws of the space-ti continuum was talented or lucky in so way. So, he devised a thod to use their knowledge for his own.”
The great elder paused as he swirled the drink on his glass; it was probably wine, but the dark purple color was sowhat eerie.
“He created the Ti Ga to give these Ti Criminals a way to escape imprisonnt. Well, that’s the official reason.
“To survive the ga, any criminal only needs to defeat him by showing him an unknown or unique understanding of Ti. You should be able to understand the implications behind such a thod?”
Edward nodded; this approach was similar to how he created the Empire to use other individuals to help him gather magical knowledge.
“I have to say, you’re unlucky. To be precise, all ti criminals in this day and age are unlucky,” continued the Great Elder. “In ancient tis, it was much easier to survive the Ti Ga. But now, after billions of years of gathering the knowledge of Ti Criminals, nothing can truly impress him anymore.”
Edward frowned as he realized the problem's core. The Ti Guardian has lived too long and has access to the Multiverse, allowing him to communicate with his variants.
After so long, this man should have mastered all the secrets and knowledge about Ti Authority, making it almost impossible to impress. Even knowledge from other planes might be useless to him.
‘My first instinct is to use Void Energy and its Space-Ti Characteristics. However, there is a high chance that the Ti Guardian also had access to Void Energy.’
The reason he concluded such a thing was due to how he first encountered Void Energy–the tear in space-ti discovered in Rowena’s tiline. After the Magus Race departed this universe, Edward did not doubt so Void Energy entered this world.
As soone who can navigate the Multiverse and has lived for so long, he should have experienced that era and gotten his paws in Void Energy.
‘In that case, we need to change strategy,’ thought Edward. ‘He wants a unique understanding of Ti? I can think of a few: the Ti Stone in Marvel, Doctor Who’s Tardis, the speed force from The Flash, and many others.’
Edward internally sneered, ‘The Ti Ga is a perfect opportunity for to get close to him. If I play my cards correctly, I can make him pay and use him for an experint.’
Edward knew that as long as he could create a thod to break the Soul Limit, he would reach Tier 10 quickly. His only concern is achieving Tier 11, which seems to be an even more difficult task.
A perfect example of the difficulty is this Space Elder God. Such a brilliant man who has mastered Ti Rules to the pinnacle has not achieved Tier 11, showing it’s not a simple feat. Let alone Edward, who plans to beco the perfect Tier 11.
“So, are you confident?” asked Cori.
“Confident? No. But it’s better than when I had no information to go from.”
“It’s good not to be overconfident. In the worst-case scenario, you can run away to other planes or this layer of the Quantum Realm. Although it will not guarantee safety, you can prolong your life.”
“What do you an by that?” asked Edward.
“He’s not a simple man. He has countless powerful clones scattered all over the Astral Realm. So, even if you ran away to another plane, he would track your Soul Imprint and kill you.
“Your best chance without the ga is to defeat him in the Quantum Realm, using the rules to your advantage. But even that is not a guaranteed plan.”
Edward took a mont to digest the information. If he ran away to another plane, he would have to deal with countless Tier 10 clones of the Ti Guardian.
‘No, he doesn’t have to use such a stupid thod. He only needs to reveal my identity, and these top planes will hunt down,’ analyzed Edward. ‘As for the Quantum Realm, it would be a battle of attrition and foundation.’
Battle in the first layer involves not strength but a faction's power due to the limitations and rules. For example, if Edward wanted to invade this place, sending people whose power maxed out at Tier 4 was not the best idea. The best way to fight would be to use ships or magical artifacts.
However, the Savant Race has been in this place for who knows how long, so the Empire could not compete with their arsenal of weapons. So, if he wanted to conquer this place, he would have to spend years manufacturing Tier 6 ships and sending them to attack his opponent, hoping to wipe them out slowly.
In other words, the situation would be the sa for him if he chose to hide in the Quantum Realm. However, the Space Elder God is probably even more ancient than the Savant Race, so Edward could not fathom the resources available to him.
‘In other words, if I don’t want to move the entire Empire to another universe, I must win that Ti Ga,’ summarized Edward.
“Thank you for your information.”
“My pleasure.”
“If you don’t mind, I have so doubts,” continued Edward.
“Ask away.”
“Why do I feel you don’t want to ntion his na out loud?”
“Quite observant,” nodded the great elder. “So things are taboo, and his na is one of them.”
“So, he will know once it is uttered?”
“Yes, especially for ti criminals like you.”
“Can it be written?”
“Yes,” said Cori before writing sothing in the air: [Cosmus].
Edward took a mont to rember that na.
“Second question: why did you reveal this information so easily? You did not ask anything in return and easily offered this piece of information. Sothing tells it’s not because I solved your previous puzzle.”
“You’re correct in your observation,” said Cori. “We are showing you kindness because you’re also a mber of the Akashic Record.”
Edward frowned before relaxing. He guessed the Savant tried to research him on the record, but like him, they could not get any information since he was also a mber.
“Is this truly the only reason?”
Cori did not imdiately answer, sipping from his glass. “Have you heard of the concept of luck and destiny from the Heavenly Dao Plane?”
“I know a little.”
Edward lied as he had only learned very little about that plane. However, he guessed the concept was similar to Qi Luck, which he had learned from reading novels in his past life.
“We have done research on this concept, so we can see many things. For example, you are a man blessed with great fortune or luck.”
As Cori said this, his eyes could see a golden dragon above Edward’s eyes with spots of purple.
“We can tell you’re a man destined for great things–especially after seeing Cronai’s blessing. Our race suffered trendously at the hands of the Magus Race, and we do not want the sa thing to happen again.
“So, after seeing your destiny, we made the unilateral decision to make friends, even invest in your future. Maybe we can achieve our dreams after associating with you.”
