Chapter 487: 91st Floor. Ouroboros (8)
One’s essence—it was something one had to uncover on their own.
But if help from another was available, there was no reason not to accept it.
Essentia, the God of Essence, governed essence itself. If anyone could discern Taesan’s essence, it would be him. It was with this thought in mind that Taesan asked the question, and Essentia stroked his chin in thought.
“Understanding essence... You mean for you to grasp your own essence, correct?”
“Yes.”
“Well, it’s not impossible. Many mortals have come to me seeking to find themselves.”
It was possible. Taesan’s eyes lit up.
“But essence is what makes up an individual. If one recklessly tries to observe it, their sense of self could be shaken. To truly realize your essence, you would need to perform the designated rites in my sanctum.”
“And if I leave this place?”
“Then I can assist you as much as you like.”
Essentia replied without hesitation.
“Normally, one would have to offer themselves to me entirely for such assistance, but for you, I’d do it without cost. I owe you, after all.”
