Chapter 558: The Truth About the Past 2
Aldrian couldn’t believe what he heard—that Feng Xuanyan and Long Shentian were actually the result of his experiment. What kind of experiment? What was the experiment for?
"If only I could remember this part," he sighed inwardly.
"Well, you never told us directly," said Feng Xuanyan, "but you subtly hinted that we are your unique creation, the result of your success after several failed attempts."
"Your Majesty, do you know why even many gods regard you as their god—an existence above them? One of the reasons is that you have the ability to create living beings as if it’s nothing. You can create entirely new forms of life—types of beings that never existed before—and yet you never face any repercussions from the heavenly laws. Many believe that your existence itself is already beyond the reach of those laws."
"Something like this could only be done by you, Your Majesty—the only being capable of doing anything without facing any setback from the heavenly order."
"So, after tracing our history, knowing we are the first of our kind and not born from the natural laws of the universe, we understood that we are special beings created directly by your hands."
"Added to the fact that we are the only beings capable of storing even a fragment of your energy—not even our descendants have that ability—and considering the nature of our karma with you, we can deduce that we were indeed created through your experiment," she finally said.
Aldrian felt that everything was finally beginning to make sense. Yet he sighed once again, this time in amazement at the strength and abilities of his past life. To create living beings without facing repercussions from heavenly laws or any other form of cosmic regulation was beyond comprehension.
He had already seen glimpses of it in his visions. For example, he could give life to dead objects and turn them into living beings as effortlessly as breathing. Thinking back on it, there was no reason to be surprised—he had even created an artifact like the Heavenly Scarf of the Divine Phoenix with nothing but his bare hands.
"I see... That’s why I could sense my energy in your blood when I found it on my way here, and also in your—" He wanted to say "in your remains," but couldn’t bring himself to finish the sentence.
"Anyway, I can only imagine your struggle—and the others’—at that time. It must have been hard for you," he said, deciding to steer the conversation elsewhere. "But it seems those invaders eventually managed to track you down. They had already begun attacking you during the great war with the devils three million years ago," he added.
