Nolan blinked and the next thing he knee, he was already in outer space. The question that imdiately ca to Nolan's mind was how was he able to breathe in space and it turned out that he actually couldn't. There was an invisible barrier around the three of them, providing air and protection.
{I have created a barrier that will protect the two of you, you can't survive in space yet. Our journey will take a while before we reach our destination so you can ask any question along the way.} said the old man. Nolan nodded and the old man started to move. A wormhole appeared and the trio seed to travel through it.
In fact, the appearance of a wormhole while travelling wasn't a natural occurrence but artificial. A wormhole was in simple terms space friction that acted against those travelling extrely fast in space. Since the old man moved at speeds faster than light, he was colliding with space forces. It was very similar to the sonic booms created when travelling faster than sound but one couldn't travel faster than space since space was everywhere.
Inside the barrier, Nolan didn't experience the speed at which they were travelling in but was instead thinking about what questions to ask.
“Elder, who are you exactly and why did you choose to beco a mber of your Demonic Sect.”
{I'm the Grand Elder of the Demonic Sect, my Title Na is Lalabu so you can just call Elder Lalabu. I hold a very high position in the Demonic Sect, even higher than that of a Sect Leader. The reason I chose you is because of your Killing Concept that was even able to affect . You have great potential and talent but also the way you think falls in line with how the Demonic Sect does things.}
“Oh right, Elder Lalabu, you're so strong so why was my Nightmare Illusion able to affect you? It doesn't make sense.”
{Nightmare Illusion, so that's what it's called. Why did it affect , well that's easy. People at my Realm have to completely seal off all their powers to live in a weak world without it rejecting us. So after sealing all my powers, I beca a sowhat above average person so obviously your Nightmare Illusion would affect .}
“So Elder Lalabu, can you manipulate ti, like turn it back or freeze it, things like that.”
{I personally cannot do that but I've heard of sothing like that but it's much more complicated than that. Firstly, even those who control ti can't reverse it and also can't accelerate it. The only thing they are able to do is Stop Ti within a limited area.}
“Why can't they travel back in ti or into the future? Ti Stop only is kinda boring.”
{Ti Reverse can't exist because once you're dead, your Soul goes to a place you humans call Hell but it goes by other nas in other places. Now, if Ti Reverse existed then it would be like an ordinary person opening a tiger's mouth and taking out food it has already swallowed which would be absolute nonsense. As for travelling to the past and future, that's also unrealistic.
Think about it, if we could truly travel back to the past then we wouldn't grow as living and intelligences species. The mistakes we make, the choices we make, the actions we take, whether right or wrong are what makes us grow, what makes us different and what defines us as individuals.
For example, let's say you impregnated a girl by mistake and after finding out, you ran away to a faraway country. Years go by and you later find out that the girl committed suicide shortly after you ran away because the burden was just too much for her to carry. Only then will you learn how to take responsibly for your actions and also make better decisions.
But if you could go back to the past and just undo what you did, you wouldn't be learning anything right, you wouldn't grow as a person. Things that co easy also perish easily but things that take ti, effort and hard work are hard to erase. A person who inherits a company would have a different mindset from a person who created it from scratch.
When it cos to travelling to the future, that would also be nonsense because how could you travel to a place you don't even know if you exist in. Let's say tomorrow is the day you die, how then can you travel to a future where you're already dead. We can only look back to the past to see how far we've gone and we can only look forward to the future because it's unknown and we can only enjoy the present because it's all we're gonna get.}
The elders' words were very profound and full of knowledge which Nolan couldn't fully comprehend yet but would be very useful in the future if he managed to understand what the elder just told him.
“Elder Lalabu, is the universe infinite and ever expanding like humans think?”
{The universe isn't infinite but it's comfortably exploding but not in the way you think. How many species do you think exist in the universe? Don't ask because I also don't know but it's countless species. This question, I think it's best you figure it out on your own.}
…
While Nolan was asking Elder Lalabu all kinds of questions, Earth had regained its peace after they left and the suppressive aura didn't cause a big commotion because those weaker only felt bodies beco heavy and that was it, only strong people felt fear from the bottom of their hearts but didn't say anything.
Inside the throne room of the Roan Kingdom, Loid and his siblings were kneeling in front of their father. This ti, the throne wasn't high up but actually down to the flour. The king wasn't sitting alone this ti but with his first wife and also the queen who actually looked like him and wore the sa overcoat as his.
In fact, looking at the two of them was like looking at the clones of each other, they looked ‘that’ alike. They continued their discussion until Loid's bodyguard requested an audience with his master, which was Loid himself.
The king allowed him to enter the throne room and the bodyguard ca in carrying a scalp with hair. Everyone's eyes focused on the hair because of how beautiful it was, the glistening hair fluttered with every step the bodyguard took. The bodyguard eventually reached Loid and gave him the hair as well as the recording of Tyler's corpse. The contract between Loid and Nolan was considered complete.
Loid asked the bodyguard through telepathy why he didn't store the hair in a storage artefact and the bodyguard answered that he couldn't, no matter how many tis he tried, the hair couldn't be stored in any kind of storage artefact.
[Loid my son, if you borrow your father that wig for a while, I'll take you back to the Roan Empire and ask the Emperor to recomnd you to the Roan Royal Academy. I'll also cover all the costs of your tuition while there.] said the king.
Not just Loid but also Loid's siblings were shocked by the way the king just addressed Loid. In private, the king did address so of them as his son's and daughters but in public, that was a big no no. Not just that, Loid was also offered a chance to enter the Roan Royal Academy which was a great opportunity. But what happened next was unbelievable.
[Loid my beautiful boy, after you've borrowed your father the wig, please lend it to too. I'll not only make you my favourite baby, incomparable to even your eldest brother who's in the Empire right now, I'll also allow your mother to be my secretary, is that okay with you my boy?]
‘WHAT THE FUCK..!!!’
