The Man’s Decree

Listening to Hellion’s words, Jared was quite puzzled. He asked, “Could it be that this spiritual wine isn’t considered a good thing to you two elders?”

Upon hearing this, Hellion glanced at Divinus and burst into hearty laughter. “This spiritual wine is of no use to us, of course. What we need for our cultivation is celestial energy, not spiritual energy. Even though Ethereal Realm is rich in spiritual energy, there’s a severe lack of celestial energy. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been trapped in Ethereal Realm for so many years.”

Upon hearing this, Jared could confirm that both individuals were indeed from the celestial realm.

Though Ethereal Realm was not particularly abundant in celestial energy, Jared had encountered quite a bit of it. Especially at the ruins of Infinitnus Celestial Sect, where even liquified celestial energy could be found.

That was a pool full of liquified celestial energy. If it was given to two people before Jared, they would be overjoyed.

Regrettably, in the end, Jared did not manage to acquire the liquified celestial energy. It was all absorbed by the sect leader of Infinitnus Celestial Sect.

“Brat, your talent is the best I’ve ever seen. If you dedicate yourself to rigorous cultivation, I’m certain you’ll become a supreme being in creating arcane arrays in the future. However, in the path of cultivation, always remember not to be restless and impatient. Steady and gradual progress is essential. Even though you didn’t accept me as your master, I would still share my knowledge of divine markings with you. Feel free to ask if there’s anything you don’t understand,” Divinus said to Jared.

Hellion also said to Jared, “I can’t teach you the demonic markings just yet. Once you’ve fully mastered the divine markings, come back to learn the demonic ones from me. After all, we’re not going anywhere!”

“Thank you both for your kindness. I’m just not quite sure why the two of you ended up trapped in Ethereal Realm.” Jared was rather curious.

How could two individuals from the celestial realm end up trapped? A character like Vermilion Demon Lord, his physical body was destroyed, leaving only his soul remnant hiding within Ethereal Realm. He has no way of returning to the celestial realm! Moreover, the likes of Baal and Whalreth were also mere soul remnants that had been sealed! Yet, observing Hellion and Divinus, the two don’t seem like bodies possessed by soul remnants. If they’re their original selves, how could they be trapped?

Divinus knew what Jared was about to ask, so he let out a bitter laugh and said, “It’s not just the two of us trapped in Ethereal Realm. There should be quite a few others from the celestial realm as well. The Celestial Battle back then was extraordinarily brutal. Countless immortals and demons perished, and many immortal beasts from the beast race also met their tragic end in Ethereal Realm.

In Ethereal Realm, countless lives have been lost. It’s unimaginable to think about how many have fallen across the entire cosmos because of this. We, too, were gravely wounded in the war back then. Furthermore, someone had set up a grand formation, the Heaven and Earth Array, in Ethereal Realm, preventing everyone from the celestial realm from returning.”

Divinus explained the situation to Jared.

“Elder Divinus, what’s the real story behind the Celestial Battle? Also, who set up this Heaven and Earth Array? Among those trapped, there are both immortals and demons. If a powerful demon really set up this Heaven and Earth Array, it’s impossible that they would trap their own kind, right? However, if an immortal was responsible, why would they want to seal away these immortals?”

Jared was utterly baffled, wondering who on earth could have done this. Could it be that the person who sets up the Heaven and Earth Array doesn’t belong to either immortals or demons? Perhaps this individual is the instigator of the Celestial Battle, the source of the turmoil. He doesn’t belong to either side. His only intention was to use this chaos to restructure the celestial realm!

“How could I possibly know who it was? As for the Celestial Battle, I also can’t explain it clearly. But thinking back now, the Celestial Battle seems more like a plot. It’s a pity that so many years have passed. Even if it was a plot, what could we possibly do now? We can’t even return to the celestial realm. Only by breaking through this Heaven and Earth Array can we have the chance to return to the celestial realm,” Divinus said.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

“Who could possibly break through this Heaven and Earth Array?” Jared asked.

Divinus pointed at Jared, saying, “You. To be precise, the future you. You can’t break through now, but you will definitely be able to in the future…”
