Lord Shadow - Chapter 2040: Curious Person

Imagination is a powerful concept and a powerful ability. To imagine something based on just a thought.

To see dreams like it is real in your own mind. This is itself is a miracle.

Humans are trapped on earth and certain beings on the Omniverse would break one mind because the mind could not comprehend certain ideas of existence

Azief thought for a moment and then he nodded to himself.

He somewhat understands why that person is here.

It did not take long for him to deduce the kind of method this person is using to increase his realm.

“Cores of beast and demons. He is using the beast of the world to forge his cores. Probably searching for beast that have different attributes to supplement the laws”

Azief believe he at least see the essence of this method.

But for the detail, only that person would know.

Azief coming here is simply because he is curious.

This village is not a secret to him.

He had notices it before.

But he never interferes and he never evicted people.

After all, there is many such villages in Pandemonium.

And only those who wanted recognition would ask for recognition.

Most of the land in Pandemonium, if it is outside of the scope of the capitals and out of the scopes of the kings , most of the land is freely given

But he came here because he senses this anomaly. His heart moved. And so, his feet also moved and as he lets his heart guided him, he arrives here

And he met this person.

Core formation is equal to Disk Formation a bit. The concept is the same but the power is different and the ability is also different. But when he wanted to break to Divine Comprehension would he shows another surprise or would he be stuck in that path?”

Azief is genuinely curious.

And at the same time feel happy.

In this world, most of the people in the world cultivate using the system.

It is not only the simplest method it is also the safest.

As long as you do not deviate from the system method of levelling up, you would reach Essence Formation.

But, Azief had known it quite early from the moment he walks the path of perfection. Using the system means you are bound by it.

Every magic has a price.

The system…is like a video game. It has those stats, it has those quest, those goodies, and it all feel addicting at first

But it is not a game and even the slight feeling of excitement would wear off. Because unlike a real game, this is real life and when you fight monsters, you are dancing on a tightrope between life and death.

Even Azief who now have reached a high realm still feel the threat of death.

Well, his situation is a bit different from others.

He had these enemies because he seeks the peak

But Azief had think about this matter carefully. Even if he did not seek the peak, he would undoubtfully somehow be dragged into it.

Fate and destiny do not lose their grip on you when they targeted you.

Azief knows this more than others.

They would be some events in his life where he had no choice but to rise to the occasions and enter the game

That is what he believes.

As for the system, it is not so much of a game, more of an interface created by the All Source.

It is consciousness.

The consciousness of the All Source.

The All Source simply uses the system to modify a method to fit humans

So that they could easily strengthen themselves.

Why?

That is a question for another time.

But Loki had always said it.

Every magic has a price.

And this magic does have a price.

A shackle on divinity.

You could go to anywhere in the Omniverse, suck up any energies you could find and comprehends all kinds of laws and rules that permeate between heaven and earth, but when you reach the final gate, the gate where you would be able to ascended and become godlike, you would find out, that the gate of divinity is closed on you.

There is a shackle.

And if you walk the path that the system gave you, that shackle is very binding.

You have to find a way to bypass it or break the system or break your own cultivation from the very beginning and start again.

There is a way.

But to do it at that moment……that would require more than just strength. It would require character of heart.

“this person, he walks a different path”

Will he persevere until the end?

Or will he give up halfway?

Or will he give up at the final gate?

Azief don’t know.

He could see possibilities…but he did not delve deeper.

After all, the eyes he uses to see things are not really his eyes.

The eye might be in his eye socket.

But he does not feel like it is his eyes at all.

But he must admit, having this eyes, he had piece together some of the things that is happening to him and why it is happening to him

He doesn’t like it. But he understands the things that is happening. And that is good enough.

“Before it is over it would not be bad for me to bestow some blessing.” He thinks for a moment and he smiles to himself

“Why not? Think of it as investment” he mutters to himself.

He waves his hand and a powerful energy sweeps through the forest.

This energy is invisible and no one notices it.

It is not like the wind, rustling the leaves and disturbs the flow of air.

It is energy.

But invisible, like a small piece of atoms.

And in just a few second it traverses great distance, phasing through every objects and living thing until it finally enters the body of that person

Azief did not know the name of that person, does not know his story but he felt something moved in his heart and he decided to trust his premonition.

He is also curious. About what choice this person would choose. And where he would end up.

“In that person life, in this matter, whatever he chooses is not wrong” Azief could see it even before this person make the choice. Whether he makes the choice to go through with his method, whether to give it up halfway, or whether to stop it at the gate, or maybe stubbornly trying to force a road where there is none….whatever he chooses, that would be the right choice. What Azief is curious about is simply the “why”

When someday, this person reaches that step, or whether when he gives up, or whether he quits, whether he abandons it….Azief would simply want to ask him why.

Of course, at that time he might even forgot this person.

The cause and effect between them might even be severed by then.

Maybe at that time he would be busy. Or maybe he would not need to ask this question anymore. But this action of his is just the whim of his heart.

He did not need to think it too deeply.

Azief then retract his divine sense and then look again at the sky

“it is not enough energy”

The energy gathers and goes below. But whether it is above or below, in Azief eyes he could see all of it.

The mine there is connected to the root of the land. The mines roots connected to the root of the land, it connected everyone above the ground

Hence, it serves like some kind of a signal tower. Only it is a signal for energy.

“Need more death. Only then it could be more pronounced”

Azief only mutter these words and then he walks again.

This time as he walks, ten thousands of kilometres traversed with each steps.

He flitted through space and time like it was nothing.

One moment he was at a forest, with a step he suddenly arrives at a city and with another step he reaches a village in the middle of nowhere.

He wanted to meet someone.

But if he wanted to meet that someone, he could simply teleport himself to that person.

There is no need to walk, and take steps.

But he wanted to see and soak in the sights of this empire that he supposedly rules and protect.

Everyone knows that he is the ruler of Pandemonium.

But unknown to many, he did not know much about the cities and villages under Pandemonium.

He did not know how much people in it, he did not know many kingdoms and states established inside it.

Reports does not do it justice.

He takes in all the sight.

Even though he is only at a certain place in only a second, his Divine Sense that surveys the area, takes in all the sights for him

He sees beautiful forest filled with flora and faunas, he sees terrifying forest filled with monsters and beast, he sees lakes, rivers, streams, hills and mountains, and he must admit there is many beautiful and odd and bizarre things in Pandemonium

Pandemonium has many bizarre landform, many bizarre valleys and canyons, it has all kinds of rivers, lakes and it has all kinds of animals and beast.

A truly wondrous place. And then there is the people.
