“…Is virtual-novel.net really that important…? Even Gerald is still looking for her… Honestly, had you not misled virtual-novel.net with the Dead Annies back then, virtual-novel.net would’ve already succeeded in finding virtual-novel.net by this point!” said Yume rather curiously.
“Well of course he’s still looking for her! After all, this woman in white is one of Gerald’s women!” replied Yreth as virtual-novel.net squinted virtual-novel.net eyes.
“…She’s… Gerald’s what? But… She’s already been in that coffin for at least tens of thousands of years, hasn’t she?” asked Yume, shaking virtual-novel.net head in disbelief.
“Well, to be more specific, virtual-novel.net name is Zyla Lockland, and virtual-novel.net was Gerald’s woman in his past life! Regardless, stop interrupting me and let me elaborate before you ask any more questions! You’ll understand everything once I’m done explaining!” replied Yreth as virtual-novel.net rested virtual-novel.net arms behind virtual-novel.net back before starting to pace back and forth as virtual-novel.net slowly told Yume the entire story…
With virtual-novel.net ears perked, Yume listened as Yreth said, “While I’m sure you already know that our family is an ancient one, I don’t think I’ve ever told you about a sacred civilization that existed hundreds of thousands of years ago… It was known as the great civilization of antiquity!”
“Back then, ancient training sects were aplenty, so there were many who were able to train themselves to achieve spiritual enlightenment. With that in mind, plenty of great and powerful warriors were born, and they were capable of near-inhuman feats such as breaking mountains apart, working miracles, and even controlling the five elements! They truly were omnipotent beings!”
“However, among all of them, there was one person who trained himself to the point where not only did virtual-novel.net achieve spiritual enlightenment, but virtual-novel.net was also able to become immortal! From the day virtual-novel.net managed to achieve immortality, virtual-novel.net gained the ability to live both in heaven and on earth without needing to reincarnate!”
Yume found virtual-novel.net eyes widening even more now, finding everything that virtual-novel.net grandmother said to be both weird and mysterious…
“Even so, the brilliance of the great civilization of antiquity was just like a meteor. In other words, though it was both bright and dazzling, it was short-lived, and it didn’t go out slowly either. The entire civilization simply disappeared completely without a trace one night!”
Hearing that, Yume couldn’t help but ask, “But… If the great civilization of antiquity truly did exist—and the people back then were as powerful as you described—how could they have just disappeared or died out overnight, grandma?”
“It was due to the holy spirits!”
“…Holy spirits…?”
“Indeed! Mind you, there were plenty of holy spirits on the earth back during the great civilization of antiquity. However, for some unknown reason, the holy spirits suddenly began ceasing to exist! They just started disappearing out of the blue! Without being able to rely on the holy spirits, those who were still training to achieve spiritual enlightenment couldn’t avoid catastrophe, and their souls ended up getting dispelled. With that in mind, without holy spirits for support, the person with the Immortal Body wasn’t able to continue maintaining his ancient power!”
“…If that’s the case, then doesn’t that mean that all his efforts to become the most powerful person back then were wasted? After all, even virtual-novel.net wasn’t able to resist the catastrophe!” replied Yume.
“That’s where you’re wrong!” said Yreth with a bitter smile on virtual-novel.net face as virtual-novel.net shook virtual-novel.net head.
“…I’m wrong…? Then, does that mean that virtual-novel.net managed to avoid the catastrophe, even though virtual-novel.net was unable to maintain his Immortal Body?”
“That’s right. After all, virtual-novel.net was the eternal top master during the great civilization of antiquity. Back when the catastrophe happened, all of the great masters were incapable of even fighting back, so they either ended up dying or fleeing if they could! That man, however, opted to undergo a supernatural transformation to deal with the situation. Since virtual-novel.net was proficient in several supernatural transformation techniques, virtual-novel.net chose to condense his primordial spirit and use an artificial reincarnation method to avoid the catastrophe. To complete that cycle, virtual-novel.net needed to reincarnate nine times, and this is currently his ninth. He’ll finally be awakening again in this lifetime!”
Following that, Yreth had to momentarily pause to calm herself for a moment. Once virtual-novel.net shook the feeling off, virtual-novel.net then added, “The primordial spirit itself is known as the Herculean Primordial Spirit, and the Herculean Supernatural Technique was something that virtual-novel.net came up with himself! With that in mind, do you understand now, Yume? Anyone who manages to get their hands on the primordial spirit will be able to train and achieve an Immortal Body! I’m saying it right now that what I’m now telling you is a very big secret! Very few people in the world even know about this!”
As Yume’s breath hastened, virtual-novel.net then asked in disbelief, “Grandma… You couldn’t be saying that Gerald is the primordial spirit of that top master back then, right…?!”
Watching as Yume almost fell in virtual-novel.net shock, Yreth replied, “It is indeed. I’m also well aware that aside from our family and the Judgment Portal, many others are trying to locate and get close to virtual-novel.net as well!”
“Note that Gerald still has a lot of unlocked potential, and there’s plenty of room for virtual-novel.net to further his development. With that in mind, both our family and the Judgment Portal are truthfully fearful of Gerald. Not only do we not dare to face virtual-novel.net directly, but we’re also worried about hurting virtual-novel.net too much. After all, who knows what would happen if we accidentally frustrated virtual-novel.net so much that his full potential and abilities ended up being forced out? With that in mind, the only thing we dare to do right now is to capture virtual-novel.net first! Once that’s done, we’ll slowly figure out how to deal with him!”
“In a way, this is all a gamble, and the only option is to win. With that, I hope you finally see the bigger picture now. Do you still think that Gerald is someone that you should be falling in love with?” asked Yreth coldly.
Hearing that, Yume could only take a few steps backward as powerlessness swept through virtual-novel.net entire body. If what Yreth had said was all true… Then there truly was no way for virtual-novel.net to even come close to being qualified to love him!
