Chapter 1474 Azriel''s Secret.
"This is…" "The deepest part of Yrniel''s Core." "It is beautiful…"
"It is." Azriel nodded with a light smile on his face. Aeliana looked around with a curious look on her face, she had often heard about Yrniel''s Core and how beautiful the ce was. She always wanted to visit this ce, however, Azriel had locked himself inside the Core, other beings, even the Progenitors, could only enter the outer core. Now that Aeliana was seeing everything with her own eyes, she could confidently say that those praises never did this ce justice. This ce was much more beautiful than she had expected. The beautiful moon hung in the night sky, the flying inds covered with fresh and lively flora, fresh water that originates from these inds and falls onto theke under it, beautiful houses built on top of these inds and the ground, light wind that gently touches your face, the most optimal temperature that calms your body, This entire ce seemed like a sentential being whose only aim was to pull you into itsfortable embrace and make you lower your guard. *Picture* Aeliana continued to look around, Azriel smiled when he saw his daughter act like that.
"The sun does not rise here in order to amodate the Vampires who do not like the sun, most inds are covered with nature and greenery to amodate the nature-loving Elves and Beastmen. The ce is full of rich materials, satisfying the dwarves, the outer areas are dark for the demons, some of the inds are made for the Dragons, and the houses are built for the humans. Everything here is created with every race in mind, it can be called Yrniel''s most beautiful creation." Since Aeliana seemed curious, Azriel exined. Aeliana listened to those words attentively. "Would you like to go see our house?" "Our house…?" Aeliana was taken aback. "Of course, as my daughter, my house is rightfully yours as well, no?" "W-Where is it?" Aeliana wasn''t used to the emotions she was feeling. Azriel smiled as he then pointed at therge ind flying above any other ind. A huge mansion could be seen on top of the ind. "That is ours…?" "Of course." Azriel nodded. Then, with one step, he and Aeliana appeared right in front of the mansion. Aeliana looked around, from the top, surrounded by beautiful flora and clouds, this ce looked even more beautiful. Azriel let Aeliana enjoy the scenery, then, he thought of another idea and with a wave of his hand, two chairs appeared on the ground. "How about we sit and continue our conversation here?" "I-I would like that." Aeliana nodded as she sat down. Azriel followed. He looked at his daughter again and,
"Ask whatever you wish. Whateveres to your mind, throw at me, I wouldn''t mind, I would actually prefer that." Aeliana stared at her father, there were a lot of questions she wanted to ask, but the first one…
"Did you miss me? Did you think about me when you were here…?" "…" Azriel didn''t say anything and looked at Aeliana. Once again, no words were needed. Seeing the guilty look on her father''s face already gave her the answer. His silence didn''t help the situation either. Aeliana forced out a smile in order to hide her emotions, it was a habit she had developed after living like this for so many years.
"My mind was forced into a deep sleep, I wasn''t conscious. The only time I ''wake up'' is when Yrniel is in danger and seeks my help. Even then, most of the time, I unconsciously release my Aura without waking up, if the threat is gone, I return to my slumber if not, I am forced to be awake.
For me, almost no time has passed since… that day…" Azriel exined his situation, his eyes flickered as he recalled the incident that changed his entire life, Aeliana, who noticed that reaction smiled weakly, "It must be painful." Shemented. Azriel just smiled, not saying anything. "How are you holding up?" Aeliana questioned. "What do you mean?" Azriel frowned. "You sealed yourself because it was too much to bear, right? Then how are you right now?" "What are you talking about?" Azriel''s frown deepened. "Too much to bear? What?"
Now, it was Aeliana who was confused. In an instant, the two understood that there was some sort of mimunication between them and to resolve that, Aeliana exined everything, "Mothers'' deaths affected you, the pain was too much to handle because you were unable to avenge the women you loved, so you decided to seal yourself inside Yrniel in order to not feel the pain and miss them, correct?" "Is that what they told you?" Azriel questioned. Soon, however, he realized the reason, "I guess this is the only thing they coulde up with since I didn''t make anything clear." Thinking about it, Azriel could understand their perspective and nodded continuously. Aeliana, on the other hand, was even more confused. "What do you mean? Is that not what happened?" "We never won that battle." Azriel revealed the truth.
He had promised to do so, therefore, he decided to reveal what no one else but he knew. "What…?" "Yrniel''s Core was damaged beyond repair in that battle. It is to the point where if Yrniel doesn''t use my Mana to stabilize itself, it will be no different than a devoured world." Azriel revealed and Aeliana widened her eyes in horror. "You were barely a 2-year-old child back then, even if your blood was pure and your talent was higher than any of the Progenitor children born before, you were still onlyparable to a King Stage Cultivator, a mortal. If I don''t act and supply Yrniel with my Mana, its own Mana would be too unstable for you or Yrniel''s cultivator to cultivate further, in 250 years, your lifespan would have ended. In order to avoid that, I had no choice but to seal myself inside Yrniel''s Core to keep it stable, the Mana was stabilized, the cultivation process remained, but as a consequence, my mind was forced into deep slumber. I had to remain in that situation till you became a Primordial Stage Cultivator with an Absolute Law so you could have an eternal lifespan. When you finally achieved that and I came out, I realized that you had created the Order, thinking that you liked to rule, I realized that Yrniel''s Mana could never be unstable since that would halt the working of the Order, something you created out of scratch. So in the end, I had no choice but to go back and seal myself again. If I had known that you were suffering so much…
I would have left sooner, Even if that means that Yrniel would eventually be destroyed.
No one, in this entire world, is more important to me than my daughter."
