Chapter 1396 A Key to destroy Yrniel..


    "The Progenitors of Yrniel, including me, have not formed their Laws." Faustina dropped a bomb.


    "…what?"


    Nux froze, unable to believe what he just heard. He instantly started doubting his hearing ability, not even trying to consider the possibility that what his mother said might be true.


    After all, how did that even make sense?


    Forming a Law wasimportant, extremely important. After all, without a Law, breaking through the Divine Stage was simply impossible.


    Oneof the perquisites of reaching the Primordial Stagewas to form a Law.A Cultivator without a Law, no matter howstrong,no matter howtalented, will always face a ''Wall'' after the Divine Stage, a Wall thatcannot be brokenif he or she doesn''t have a Law.


    An example of this would be all the ''world leaders'' present in Yrniel, some of them had even reached the Divine Stage when they were merely 5000 years old and had 5000 more years to break through, yet, they couldn''t simply because they have not fulfilled the requirements to do so.


    Was they being an Iplete Cultivators a restriction for them?


    No.


    Even an Iplete Cultivator could reach the Primordial Stage, however, that case israre,since most of the time, Iplete Cultivators expend all their potential to reach the Divine Stage.


    A Cultivator with enough potential to reach the Primordial Stage always chooses to be a Complete Cultivation. After all, who would want a weak foundation if they can be the strongest?


    Anyways, the fact is, without a Law, progressing after the Divine Stage is simply impossible.Thisis alsothe reasonwhy Vyriana forbids Nux from breaking through and bing a Divine Stage Cultivator.


    As for Progenitors not forming their Law?


    Nuxpletely disregarded that possibility and med his ears for hearing wrong, afterall, from what angle do these monsters look like mere Divine Stage Cultivators?


    However, the reality was often shocking,


    "The Progenitors of Yrniel, including me, have not formed their Laws." Faustina repeated, thewords came out of her mouth slowly, making sure that this time, Nux wouldn''t just nk out and disregard her.


    "M-Mother, what are you talking about?"


    Nux stuttered.


    One had toknow,hehad spent almost 800 years in a barren world with no life, almost away from his wives,just sohe could form his Law.


    For him, who was barely 300 years old before the training started,it could be saidthat he had spent almost two-thirds of his life, away from his wives, to form his Law!


    And now his Mother ising to him, telling himandone could be as strong as her without forming their Law!?


    How ridiculous is that!?


    Where did all the talks about restrictions and the so-called wall go!?


    Did Vyriana lie to him!?


    Nux considered a possibility, soon, however, he disregarded that.


    He trusted his mother to the point he even agreed to keep whatever she said a secret from his wives. And the Dragon? He trusted her more than he trusted his mother.


    He knew Vyriana wouldn''t lie to him.


    And thinking about how Faustina was reacting when she was about to reveal the ''secret'' to him, Nux came up with a conclusion.


    A conclusion soobviousthat now that he thought about it, he wanted to p himself for not thinking about it sooner.


    Of course,he couldn''t be medfor everything either, whathe heard wassimplytoo surprising, itwasn''t difficult to imagine that the shock hindered his brain from functioningproperly.


    "The Progenitors kept it the secret from the rest of the Yrniel, didn''t they?"


    Nux spoke, looking into Faustina''s eyes.


    The woman stared at her son for a while,then,shenodded.


    "And I want you to do the same,


    Do not tell this to anyone, even yourwivesbecause…


    If this secretis revealed,


    Yrniel wouldbe destroyed."


    Faustina spoke with a face so grave that Nux couldn''t help but feel his body tremble from the intimidating pressure of her gaze.


    At the same time, he couldn''t help but frown as he thought of a question,


    "Why does it matter? Even if the secretis disclosed, your strength isn''tpromised, is it?You and the other Progenitors would retain your strength. How would it make any difference even if the secretis revealed?" After all,at the end of the day,what mattered was one''s strength. How one achieved their strength was not a question anyone bothered with. If you are strong, you are fearedandyou are safe.


    The Strong ruled and the weak were trampled on.


    That was the truth of the world.


    And if there was one thing that Nux knew for sure,


    It was that this woman in front of him was strong.


    Ridiculously strong.


    Sostrong that even now, after spending almost 800 years with her, he still couldn''t ''see'' the depth of her strength, shewas still one big veil of mystery.


    Faustina smiled when she heard those wordsandas an answer, shesimplyasked a few questions,


    "Did you forget about the ''Wall''? The prerequisites to be Primordial Stage Cultivators? Do we Progenitors look like Divine Stage Cultivators to you?"


    "What does-"


    Nux was confused, hedidn''t know why Faustina asked these questions instead of answering him directly, however, before he could evenplete hisownquestion,hefroze as he thought of another, even more ridiculous possibility that made him widen his eyes in horror.


    Seeing the look on her son''s face, Faustina''s smile widened.


    "The ''Wall'' exists, Nux. It exists for the entire universe.


    Vyriana did not lie to you."


    "Then how did you…"


    Nux didn''t even have toplete his questionandseeing Faustina smiling at him, he realized that the possibility he had thought of wasabsolutelycorrect,


    "You… you people found a way to break the wall…"


    He spoke, pointing his trembling fingers towards his mother.


    Faustina shook her head, "Even if we are as strong as we are, breaking through a limitation ced by the very Universe is not something we can do, Nux. Don''t give us too much credit."


    Nux frowned in confusion, "Then…"


    "It was Yrniel."


    Faustina revealed.


    "Huh?"


    Of course, these words didn''t clear Nux''sdoubts,rather,itonly filled his head with more questions. Something Faustina understood perfectly well, and after taking one big breath as if to prepare her mind,


    She began,


    "Yrniel is a special world, Nux.


    Yes, every world in the universe is special in itsownway, eachof them has its distinct history and culture, some worlds even have theirownenergy, anenergy that the world produces on its own.


    However, despite being ''special'', none of the worldsare capable of breakinga restriction ced by the very Universe, afterall, the Universe is Absolute. It is the source of everything. It is the Beginning and the End.


    Yrniel, however, is an exception.


    I do not know how this is possible, however, cultivatorswho areblessed by the Will of Yrniel can be Primordial Stage Cultivators without having to form their Law."


    "What…?"


    "The Will of Yrniel gives the Cultivator the power to ignore the Universe''s restrictions and continue going strongerand…


    That''s how we, the Progenitorscameinto existence."


    "Mother…"


    Nux called out, staring at his mother.


    What he heard was shocking, however, more than that, he was worried about the implications of his mother''s words.


    "Why…?"


    He couldn''t help but question.


    This woman…


    She just gave him the key to destroy the entire Yrniel. The Power to destroy everything she protected herentirelife… At the same time,all his questions were answered.


    Nux finally understood why Faustina had that grave look on her face before she revealed everything.


    Yes, the Progenitors wereindeed strong,strongerthan any beings he had seen.Not to mention the monster standing behind the Progenitors, the man who spends most of his time sleeping but would wake up and destroy everything the instant the Progenitorsare threatened.


    However,


    In the end, Yrniel was still a Low-Level World, the second weakest level.


    Even if Progenitors were strong, Nux knewthere were stronger beingsout there.What would happen if these stronger beingsfound outthat a Low-Level worldhas the power tobreak the Universe''s restrictions?


    It would be a catastrophe.


    Yes, ording to his mother, Azriel Ruinous, the strongest being in Yrniel can fight even the Elites of the Supreme Worlds, but…what about the rest of Yrniel?


    Can Azriel defend everything alone?


    Of course not.


    If thatwaspossible, Yrniel would have been one of the Supreme Worlds, if not the Strongest World.


    "You seemed worried."


    Faustina''s answer brought Nux out of his reverie.


    He nced at the woman standing in front of him with a gentle smile on her face, and for a moment, Nux couldn''t help but feel lost.


    "You were unable to form your Lawandalthough you were trying to hide it, you were still too young to hide things from a million-year-old monster.


    You were worried.


    You were scared of the uncertain future.


    Soasa mother,


    I decided to reveal the truth and help you."
