Gravis and his father spent a couple of days together, talking about random things. The important conversation was over, and from this point forward, Gravis would never speak of the Brand again. The danger was just far too great that soone could overhear him.
After so ti, Gravis’ mother joined them, and everything imdiately beca livelier with her around. She took so pot-shots at the Opposer’s ego in a playful manner, but the Opposer didn’t mind. One of the reasons why he loved his wife was because she talked to him as equals. No one in this world but Heaven talked to the Opposer on the sa level. Even the Black Magnate still had so reservations.
So days later, Orpheus also joined them. He had been called over by Gravis since he wanted to include Orpheus. Orpheus was his family, just like his mother and father. Gravis didn’t call for Yersi since he didn’t want to interrupt Yersi’s alone ti with Jake.
Yet, Yersi appeared of her own volition after a while with Jake in tow.
It was about ti that she introduced Jake to the rest of her family.
In the beginning, Jake was incredibly nervous as he stood before three far more powerful beings. Especially the Opposer frightened him to a high degree.
Of course, with Gravis’ mother being here, this awkward atmosphere didn’t last long. Yet, with a seemingly innocent and normal question, the entire atmosphere changed again.
"Could I ask for your na?" Jake asked Gravis’ mother.
So awkwardness appeared in the atmosphere, surprising Gravis, Yersi, and Jake. This was a normal question. Why didn’t Gravis’ mother answer?
"Don’t ask about the nas of people at the Ancestral God Realm or higher," Orpheus said.
Jake was surprised, and Gravis also realized sothing very strange.
He didn’t know the na of his parents. Wasn’t this a bit abnormal?
"Why not?" Gravis asked before Jake could ask.
"Because nas are powerful," the Opposer said. "Nas are just nas in the Star God Realm and below, but later, they change their aning."
"Could you explain?" Gravis asked.
"When you step into the Ancestral God Realm, your star changes into your own space. This is like your Spirit Space, but even more distant than that. Being able to invade soone’s private space is nearly impossible, even if you are far more powerful," the Opposer said.
"Everyone’s private space is different as it has been created by your own being, emotions, mindset, Laws, and everything else. It receives its own unique status and being. So beings share your na, but there are no beings that have an identical private space."
"Your na, therefore, takes on a different aning, as it not only refers to you as a being but also to your private space, which is separate from the Cosmos. Because of that, the na of the Cultivator interacts with their private space, allowing a connection to be established."
"I apologize," Jake said as he bowed a little. "I didn’t know that."
"It’s normal," Orpheus said as he shoved Jake in a joking manner. "Everyone learns that at so point."
"What exact effects does the na have?" Gravis asked as he still wanted to know more.
"Well," Gravis’ mother said as she tried to find the right words. "Your private space gets summoned by the call of your na. If you speak soone else’s na, you will receive so feedback from an unknown place. With a sufficient understanding in the Laws of Space, you can then teleport to this place, which is the private space of soone else."
"In short, you could compare it to soone else inviting themselves into your Spirit Space. That’s why no Ancestral Gods or more powerful share their nas with anyone. So of them even kill every being that knows their full na."
"Oh, right!" Gravis’ mother suddenly said as she rembered sothing. "This only works with the full na. The first na is not enough to create a resonance."
"Is that why I don’t know my own last na?" Gravis asked.
Gravis’ mother nodded with a smile. "Exactly. Our last na exists, but it only exists in your father’s head. Like this, none of our children can fall victim to this since they don’t even know their own last na. Therefore, they also can’t tell anyone."
Gravis blinked a couple of tis. "Wait, does this an that not even you know our last na?" Gravis asked in shock.
Gravis’ mother nodded sheepishly. "Sadly, yes. Only your father knows our last na. If you want to be shocked even more, I don’t even know your father’s first na."
Everyone was surprised, even Orpheus. Not even the Opposer’s wife knew his first na? This was far too weird!
"It’s to protect her," the Opposer said. "My private space is as powerful as the Old Bastard’s, which ans that if it creates a resonance with this Cosmos, two equally powerful forces will collide. None of the two of us would die or get injured, but an uncountable number of beings across the Cosmos would die."
"Because of that, the Old Bastard will kill absolutely everyone that knows my first or last na, no matter who it is. My na has been a pretty common one back then, but as soon as I gained my power, the Old Bastard changed the entire world. No single being can think of my first or last na as long as they are not being told by soone that knows it."
"Even if you try out every possible combination of letters, you would subconsciously skip the right one without noticing. If you put your head to it, you might be able to find a way to find out my na, but the Old Bastard will just kill you before you can even get close," the Opposer said.
This explained why Gravis didn’t know his last na and why he didn’t know the nas of his parents.
After so seconds, Gravis sighed and looked at his mother. "I presu that you are also not allowed to share your na since you share the sa last na as father, and knowing your na would make it easier to find our last na, right? After all, they would only need to try last nas with you to find the correct one."
Gravis’ mother nodded. "Sadly, yes, but it’s a necessary precaution. I don’t want so many beings to die."
Jake rembered sothing. "That also explains why my boss only gave his title," Jake said. "I guess that Ancestral Gods and Divine Gods only refer to each other by their title, right?"
"Right," Gravis’ mother said. "My title, for example, is the Economistress," she said with pride and a smile.
"Pfffft," Gravis let out as he heard that na. "Seriously? The Economistress?" he asked as he started laughing.
Gravis’ mother also started laughing. "It’s great, isn’t it? I ca up with that title all on my own!"
Everyone shared a good laugh at that. For so reason, this title didn’t fit her, but it sohow also did fit her. It was a weird feeling of not knowing if it fit her or not.
"Did I co at the wrong ti?" a new voice said as the Black Magnate appeared with a complex expression on his face.
Jake and Yersi didn’t know who this person was. Additionally, this person just entered the Opposer’s room just like that?
"No, it’s a good ti," Gravis said with a smirk. "Why don’t you co join us? Co out of your shell and partake in so festivities."
The Black Magnate had an unsure grimace on his face. He wasn’t really a fan of parties. He only ca back to talk with the Opposer so more.
Yet, Gravis didn’t let the Black Magnate get away. "Jake, Yersi," Gravis said as he gestured to the Black Magnate.
"This is the Black Magnate, one of the few Heaven’s Magnates," Gravis said with a smirk.
Yersi was not very surprised, but Jake’s eyes nearly fell out.
One of the legendary Heaven’s Magnates!?
