A Key to destroy Yrniel.

"The Progenitors of Yrniel, including me, have not formed their Laws."

Faustina dropped a bomb.

"...what?"

Nux froze, unable to believe what he just heard. He instantly started doubting his hearing ability, not even trying to consider the possibility that what his mother said might be true.

After all, how did that even make sense?

Forming a Law was important, extremely important. After all, without a Law, breaking through the Divine Stage was simply impossible.

One of the perquisites of reaching the Primordial Stage was to form a Law. A Cultivator without a Law, no matter how strong, no matter how talented, will always face a 'Wall' after the Divine Stage, a Wall that cannot be broken if he or she doesn't have a Law.

An example of this would be all the 'world leaders' present in Yrniel, some of them had even reached the Divine Stage when they were merely 5000 years old and had 5000 more years to break through, yet, they couldn't simply because they have not fulfilled the requirements to do so.

Was they being an Incomplete Cultivators a restriction for them?

No.

Even an Incomplete Cultivator could reach the Primordial Stage, however, that case is rare, since most of the time, Incomplete Cultivators expend all their potential to reach the Divine Stage.

A Cultivator with enough potential to reach the Primordial Stage always chooses to become a Complete Cultivation. After all, who would want a weak foundation if they can be the strongest?

Anyways, the fact is, without a Law, progressing after the Divine Stage is simply impossible. This is also the reason why Vyriana forbids Nux from breaking through and becoming a Divine Stage Cultivator.

As for Progenitors not forming their Law?

Nux completely disregarded that possibility and blamed his ears for hearing wrong, after all, from what angle do these monsters look like mere Divine Stage Cultivators?

However, the reality was often shocking,

"The Progenitors of Yrniel, including me, have not formed their Laws."

Faustina repeated, the words came out of her mouth slowly, making sure that this time, Nux wouldn't just blank out and disregard her.

"M-Mother, what are you talking about?"

Nux stuttered.

One had to know, he had spent almost 800 years in a barren world with no life, almost away from his wives, just so he could form his Law.

For him, who was barely 300 years old before the training started, it could be said that he had spent almost two-thirds of his life, away from his wives, to form his Law!

And now his Mother is coming to him, telling him and one could be as strong as her without forming their Law!?

How ridiculous is that!?

Where did all the talks about restrictions and the so-called wall go!?

Did Vyriana lie to him!?

Nux considered a possibility, soon, however, he disregarded that.

He trusted his mother to the point he even agreed to keep whatever she said a secret from his wives. And the Dragon? He trusted her more than he trusted his mother.

He knew Vyriana wouldn't lie to him.And thinking about how Faustina was reacting when she was about to reveal the 'secret' to him, Nux came up with a conclusion.

A conclusion so obvious that now that he thought about it, he wanted to slap himself for not thinking about it sooner.

Of course, he couldn't be blamed for everything either, what he heard was simply too surprising, it wasn't difficult to imagine that the shock hindered his brain from functioning properly.

"The Progenitors kept it the secret from the rest of the Yrniel, didn't they?"

Nux spoke, looking into Faustina's eyes.

The woman stared at her son for a while, then, she nodded.

"And I want you to do the same,

Do not tell this to anyone, even your wives because...

If this secret is revealed,

Yrniel would be destroyed."

Faustina spoke with a face so grave that Nux couldn't help but feel his body tremble from the intimidating pressure of her gaze.

At the same time, he couldn't help but frown as he thought of a question, "Why does it matter? Even if the secret is disclosed, your strength isn't compromised, is it? You and the other Progenitors would retain your strength. How would it make any difference even if the secret is revealed?"

After all, at the end of the day, what mattered was one's strength. How one achieved their strength was not a question anyone bothered with. If you are strong, you are feared and you are safe.

The Strong ruled and the weak were trampled on.

That was the truth of the world.

And if there was one thing that Nux knew for sure,

It was that this woman in front of him was strong.

Ridiculously strong.

So strong that even now, after spending almost 800 years with her, he still couldn't 'see' the depth of her strength, she was still one big veil of mystery.lightsnovel

Faustina smiled when she heard those words and as an answer, she simply asked a few questions, "Did you forget about the 'Wall'? The prerequisites to be Primordial Stage Cultivators? Do we Progenitors look like Divine Stage Cultivators to you?"

"What does-"

Nux was confused, he didn't know why Faustina asked these questions instead of answering him directly, however, before he could even complete his own question, he froze as he thought of another, even more ridiculous possibility that made him widen his eyes in horror.

Seeing the look on her son's face, Faustina's smile widened.

"The 'Wall' exists, Nux. It exists for the entire universe.

Vyriana did not lie to you."

"Then how did you..."

Nux didn't even have to complete his question and seeing Faustina smiling at him, he realized that the possibility he had thought of was absolutely correct, "You... you people found a way to break the wall..."

He spoke, pointing his trembling fingers towards his mother.

Faustina shook her head, "Even if we are as strong as we are, breaking through a limitation placed by the very Universe is not something we can do, Nux. Don't give us too much credit."

Nux frowned in confusion, "Then..."

"It was Yrniel."Faustina revealed.

"Huh?"

Of course, these words didn't clear Nux's doubts, rather, it only filled his head with more questions. Something Faustina understood perfectly well, and after taking one big breath as if to prepare her mind, She began,

"Yrniel is a special world, Nux.

Yes, every world in the universe is special in its own way, each of them has its distinct history and culture, some worlds even have their own energy, an energy that the world produces on its own.

However, despite being 'special', none of the worlds are capable of breaking a restriction placed by the very Universe, after all, the Universe is Absolute. It is the source of everything. It is the Beginning and the End.

Yrniel, however, is an exception.

I do not know how this is possible, however, cultivators who are blessed by the Will of Yrniel can become Primordial Stage Cultivators without having to form their Law."

"What...?"

"The Will of Yrniel gives the Cultivator the power to ignore the Universe's restrictions and continue going stronger and... That's how we, the Progenitors came into existence."

"Mother..."

Nux called out, staring at his mother.

What he heard was shocking, however, more than that, he was worried about the implications of his mother's words.

"Why...?"

He couldn't help but question.

This woman...

She just gave him the key to destroy the entire Yrniel. The Power to destroy everything she protected her entire life... At the same time, all his questions were answered.

Nux finally understood why Faustina had that grave look on her face before she revealed everything.

Yes, the Progenitors were indeed strong, stronger than any beings he had seen. Not to mention the monster standing behind the Progenitors, the man who spends most of his time sleeping but would wake up and destroy everything the instant the Progenitors are threatened.

However,

In the end, Yrniel was still a Low-Level World, the second weakest level.

Even if Progenitors were strong, Nux knew there were stronger beings out there. What would happen if these stronger beings found out that a Low-Level world has the power to break the Universe's restrictions?

lightsnοvεl It would be a catastrophe.

Yes, according to his mother, Azriel Ruinous, the strongest being in Yrniel can fight even the Elites of the Supreme Worlds, but... what about the rest of Yrniel?

Can Azriel defend everything alone?

Of course not.

If that was possible, Yrniel would have been one of the Supreme Worlds, if not the Strongest World.

"You seemed worried."

Faustina's answer brought Nux out of his reverie.

He glanced at the woman standing in front of him with a gentle smile on her face, and for a moment, Nux couldn't help but feel lost.

"You were unable to form your Law and although you were trying to hide it, you were still too young to hide things from a million-year-old monster.

You were worried.

You were scared of the uncertain future.

So as a mother,

I decided to reveal the truth and help you."
