By the time the second match was about to start, Elijah had left two minutes later after seeing Yawen and her team leave the platform. He also saw the change in expression of Yawen when he son whispered something on her ear making her a little impatient as they walked away. "I guess this is it, I"ll be resting in my room for the rest of the day. We"ll meet later, Yalli knows the inn I"m staying at. I have an long-range communication device." Elijah smiled and had them marked on his artifact, now he could contact any of them even if far away. Then he headed to the place he told Elliot and sat on a wooden bench next to a observation tower right in the middle of the plaza.
With the tournament, the lower plaza was completely empty. Everyone was either in the platforms or watching from their homes. Elijah removed the disguise and was watching a tv show on his phone when he noticed a lone female walking in the plaza wearing dark clothes.Her eyes swept over the plaza and it wasn"t possible to hide the anxiousness in her eyes.
"Huh?" When her eyes turned to the central tower the lady gasped, and soon revealed an radiance smile full of love as she walked to the wooden bench. Without saying anything Yawen sat on his right side and grasped his hand and intertwined their fingers. They just stayed there, holding hands and enjoying the wind. None of them dared to open their mouths, as if it would spoil the moment.
Like two magnets, their lips quickly approached each other. Elijah was nearly drown in the sensation, it felt soft and delicate, yet a little cold. The sweet fragrance made him feel a little lost as both immersed in the kiss. Feeling a moist and eager little tongue knock on her closed lips, Yawen quickly open way as his tongue extended inside Yawen"s mouth.
"Elijah, stop... Ahh, others will see us!" With her mouth blocked, Yawen yelled inside his head and Elijah came back to his senses and released her after what felt like years. The two of them stared at each other, Yawen"s eyes were half closed and even if she was the one who told him to stop she had a reluctant expression on her face.
Only after both calm down a little, Elijah had his phone make a barrier around both of them before they started talking. Then, Yawen embraced him and rested her head on his shoulder while telling what happened with her while he was away.
"... So after Elliot third birthday, I noticed spies of my void clan hiding in the shadows. They were really good, and I couldn"t catch them and neither did them see me or my son. But they were only sent to confirm their princess was in Peuh and had a son. Some time later, I had a talk with one of the previous lords of Peuh. The Immortal Lady of silence. She knows who I am, and she told me about this celestial world and that my clan had their own territory here. The second I stepped in this world, I felt the connection with my true body had reestablished. And I remembered something, the man who brought my true body here, the man with the same face as Damian, was he..."
Elijah nod, he didn"t know what to think as well. There were too many stories and even he felt overwhelmed by them. "Right, Damian is not just my ancestor. He"s supposed to be myself in a parallel world just like old man Elijah."
At this moment, only him knew how timelines and cosmic realms existed within Chaos. He also promised to find Claire even if he had no idea where her cosmic realm was located, not only cosmic realms were in constant expansion, just the chaotic s.p.a.ce was infinitely times bigger than all of it together. There is G.o.ds, immortals and paragons who explore the chaotic s.p.a.ce like Thunder, Edward"s son. Then his expression turned sour, he still felt bad for what happened to Damian, the time palace and her brother.
Yawen could not believe what she heard and started crying. So her brother was finally free, but now there huge threat coming for her husband. She didn"t know what to think. He told her about his cultivation and how he discovered how to truly use the supreme origins. Hearing his words Yawen started to believe it all was fated to happen. Supreme Origins were different from the ones Elijah gave to his disciples and students of the Origin Inst.i.tute.
If he hadn"t forged his body, soul and energy to the present level with the trinity path, he would never be able to grasp all its power and if he tried to fully merge with one of it before reaching that level he would have certainly died. Now he may seem fragile compared to before, but he managed to gain a miraculous ability even himself didn"t know the limits it had.
One hour later, Elijah guessed today"s tournament had ended and bade farewell to Yawen. Both were staying in different sides of the city, and he prefered if their relations.h.i.+p was kept a secret for the moment. He just gave a spatial storage device full of presents for his son who Yawen left with Ca.s.sie and Aina before coming here.
Elijah headed to his own room and heard Yalli"s voices coming from the next room, it seems she was back from the tournament. He was about to open the door when he realized it was unlocked, his phone flew from his pocket and a.s.sumed the form of a jet-black sword as he dashed into the room only to find an unknown man sipping on a gla.s.s of wine while he sat on a nearby chair.
It was a handsome middle-aged man wearing dark red clothes. He had an devilish and wild air, yet n.o.ble at the same time. The aura he felt was familiar, the same he felt when Edward unleashed his feathered wings and then he realized who was in front of him in shock.
"Lu-Lucifer?" He saw something of Edward"s past so he certainly knew of the ill.u.s.trious figure in front of him. It wasn"t the same lucifer people from earth known about, but he may very well be the most ancient devil in existence. It seems he is alive in his own universe differently from Edward"s. If so, then he is from even earlier than the origin race and the man"s next words confirmed that.
"So you were the one to obtain the Origin"s inheritance... Not bad, it looks like their idea of making that thing their named Supreme Origin was not just empty talk. For the more I wish to beat the c.r.a.p out of you while you are still young, I know that old demon would do even worse to me." While Elijah was thinking who was worth enough for lucifer, someone from the era of genesis to call "old demon" was.
Lucifer snorted and sighed uncomfortably. "I just came here for the meeting, and here I found you. At least this means this era still has hope. I will be going now, just don"t let that freak refine you as it would become impossible for anyone to succeed if that thing really transcends the celestial. I would be happy if another transcendent living in the chaos could come here and refine that freak even if he would become our king. See you at the banquet." Whoos.h.!.+ The man vanished just as he said the last word.
And Elijah sat on the bed reflecting on what he just heard. He knew The cosmic heart was supposed never gain intellect and just be the core of the universe, and one day a transcendent would appear and refine the heart to become its king. This is why he referred to that thing as a freak, he really was a freak if you think he was supposed to be just the energy source of the universe.
Thunder also told him of this universe"s abnormality. For some reason it had a size more the four to five times bigger than the cosmic realms close to it and it had countless planets with living beings which some realms didn"t even had. He thought for a while and had the conclusion to why the most powerful races of each era would disappear.
Maybe it wasn"t to protect itself from those who waste its resources but to refine them. The cosmic heart was close to a transcendent in terms of power and it may very well be because it had been refining countless experts throughout the ages.
