Chapter 517: Conversation with Patriarch Xin 3
What is the Devil Lord planning? If he truly depends on his god to launch an attack or create chaos, then how does he summon them? This is a question that might lead to an answer about how the prophecy came to be. Aldrian believes that for a god to descend, the devils must require something that allows the path to this world to be opened.
From the moment he saw a vision of that "thing" trying to descend upon this land, he has been thinking about how such a being could manage it. The law of causality should prevent a powerful existence like that from descending into the lower heavens.
When he took in the clones of the Golden Phoenix and the Great Peng to his group, he began to suspect that the law of causality might have weakened, which could explain how beasts from the higher heavens were able to be summoned into this world.
But that remains only his guess, without any solid proof. That is because weakening a law of causality that is already part of the fundamental rules of the universe is no simple task.
With Patriarch Xin’s explanation, Aldrian’s certainty that the Devil Lord might knows how to weaken the law of causality grew much stronger. That seemed to be the only piece that fit into the puzzle of how that "thing" could descend—and likely the reason the devils still had the confidence to initiate another great war, despite the heavy losses they had already suffered.
The next important question was: how? What method did the Devil Lord use to weaken the law of causality? This had to be something only he knew, and Aldrian had found no trace of it in the memories of the devils he had killed.
If he could uncover how the Devil Lord weakened the law of causality, then perhaps he could prevent that "thing" from descending. They would not have to experience the prophecy—meaning the prophecy would never come to pass.
"Do I have to barge into the Devil Lord’s stronghold?" Aldrian wondered, but inwardly, he shook his head.
That would be far too reckless. Aldrian had no idea how strong the Devil Lord truly was, or what kind of tricks he might be hiding. If he just barged in without a plan, he would be no different from the arrogant fools he had always despised.
But how could he understand how the Devil Lord operated without entering devil territory?
"It looks like I’ll need to infiltrate the devil territory after this."
