Chapter 1823 Leave it to me. "How did you do it?" "Do what?" "How did you extend their lifespan? They are only Pseudo Transcendent yet have lived for hundreds of thousands of years. Doesn't that go against the Universe's Rules? The Universe should already be roaring to devour them. Why isn't it reacting? How are you breaking the Universe's Rules without it retaliating in any way?" Nux couldn't understand. In his case, every time he tries to break the Universe's Rules, it cries like a bitch and causes fuss all over the place. Then how come it isn't reacting when the Progenitors do the same thing? How are the Progenitors outliving other beings? Nux hadn't seen something like this even in a High-Level World like Umbrasol. Hearing that question, Aeliana, Vyriana, and even the Progenitors turned towards Azriel. seemed that even they didn't know the answer to this question. "Aren't you breaking the Universe's Rules yourself? Why do you ask?" "Every time I break the rules, I face consequences. I face its retaliation. That doesn't seem to be the case for you." Nux's answer was quick. "This is why an overabundance of knowledge is detrimental." Azriel suddenly sighed. "What does that mean?" Nux questioned with a frown, and Azriel, who observed his expression for a while, questioned with a light chuckle, "Do you even know how many Universe's 'Rules' have been broken around you till now?" Hearing that question, Nux's frown deepened as he started thinking. Not wanting to waste more time, Azriel just continued, "Transcendent Level Beings who don't have Laws, do you think the Universe would normally allow that? Do you think it would let beings it doesn't acknowledge reach the Transcendent Level? A level where one is supposed to transcend the understanding of their Law and reach absolute Perfection. How can a being reach this level when they don't even have a Law to begin with? Do you think it aligns with the Universe's Rules?" "..." Nux didn't have any answer. "Azriel Origin died, yet Yrniel was somehow able to keep a Progenitor's Blood and even hand it over to another being, essentially creating another Progenitor. Do you think that aligns with the Universe's Rules?" "But there was only one Progenitor, just like the Universe intends to. You didn't break any rule-" "Sure, we didn't break that rule, but according to the so-called 'Rules,' Azriel's Origin's entire existence should have returned to the Universe. That includes his Blood. How was Yrniel able to keep the Blood safe?" Again, Nux was silent. However, the Vampire Progenitor wasn't done yet. "Even your father, that Chaos Progenitor. He exists despite being dead. Sure, he uses Ethereal Form to lower his presence, but in the end, even he is breaking the Universe's Rules by not returning to it, no? Then comes your most recent encounter with an anomaly, The Reaper's Veil. A Veil that could hide everything even from the Universe. Do you think that makes any sense? Do you think its existence can be explained using the Universe's Rules?" "What are you trying to say, Father?" Aeliana questioned with a solemn look on her face. At her question, the rest present stared at Azriel as well. "I am saying that the Universe's 'Rules' are full of loopholes. If you study the rules deeply enough and experiment, You can find more of these loopholes and use them to your advantage." "But the biggest problem we faced was the lack of information, no? We didn't even know about the Universe's existence, let alone its rules and the possible loopholes in them. How did we manage to use these loopholes?" Faustina questioned. "We didn't use them." Azriel shook his head. "Yrniel did." "What...?" "Yrniel is the reincarnation of a Supreme World." "It retained some of its memories, like it retained some memories of my System." Nux realized, and Azriel nodded. "That is correct. Supreme Worlds, Worlds that exist for trillions of years. If anyone would know more about these loopholes..." "It would be these Supreme Worlds." Nux completed Azriel's sentence, and the Vampire nodded again. "This is why I told you to go out and explore more. Our enemies aren't weak, even if we surpass them in might. What they know far surpasses what we do. You cannot possibly surpass them in the information area, but at the very least, you need to reach a level where you wouldn't be caught completely off guard by their tricks." Azriel spoke, and Nux nodded with a determined look on his face. "You have been seeing instances where the Universe's Rules are being broken constantly, and you will continue to see them. Study them and learn. The more loopholes you find out about, the better it would be for you." Azriel instructed, and Nux nodded again. "Go and take part in the War like you intended to." Azriel commanded as he then turned towards his daughter and, after a slight pause, "Take Lia with you." His words surprised not just Nux and the Progenitors but even Aeliana herself. "Father, I still wish to spend some time with yo-" "I will be returning to Yrniel's Core and sleep," Azriel revealed. "What!? No! I cannot allo-" "Hundreds of years have passed, Aeliana. All this time, I have been trying to find a way out, a way to coexist with Yrniel without having to destroy mortal life, but Yrniel's energy is intertwined with too many things If I continue to stay awake, the life in Yrniel will perish. The new-borns will be mortals, unable to cultivate. The cultivators would never be able to advance to the next stage. In all these years, many have lost their lives. This cannot continue. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢 I am sure even you do not want that." "But I..." "Don't worry. I already found a solution." Azriel spoke as he gently placed his hand on Aeliana's cheek. "A solution...?" Acliana glanced at her father with a hopeful look on her face. Azriel then stared at Nux and, "I will be leaving things to you. Don't make me wait for long." Yes, the so-called 'Solution' was Nux. 'Fuck, I knew something was gonna happen when the stingy old man gave his daughter away so quickly. It couldn't have been a more obvious flag, and I can't believe I still fell for it.' Nux cursed in his head, but in the end, he glanced at his father-in-law and nodded. "Leave it to me."
