Chapter 651: Zera’s True Origin 1

More than attentively, Zeras’s ears perked up to their absolute limit as he sat down quietly like a child, listening to Rowan’s narration.

“Morana found Lilith on one of her long expeditions, with the small girl of about 10 years visibly washed ashore. As you know, Morana practices the death law cultivation, and that makes those types of people very, very cold, short-tempered, and also merciless. She wouldn’t even blink if she saw a thousand young girls or boys or whatever visibly bleeding out and would have simply walked past with her usual poker face.

But it came as an absolute shock to all of us when Morana brought the small girl back to the sect. All she said about her was that her name was Lilith and she would now be staying with her…”

“Lilith?” Zeras whispered silently.

“Lilith was the most special existence that we all have ever seen in our lives, when it comes to a person’s original natural ability.

She could read and understand everything by simply looking at it once, and her cultivation speed was jaw-dropping to us, reaching the Universe rank at 15!” Rowan said, and even Zeras’s eyes flashed in shock.

A 15-year-old Universe Origin rank expert!? The average age for that was at least 100, and he, the only anomaly, only reached that at 26 or so.

“As I noticed, Lilith had no memory of her past at all, but we definitely knew her background would be nothing but mind-numbing. Still, Morana, the coldest one among us, raised Lilith like her own true child, properly nurturing her as she grew up until she became an incredibly fine young lady, well-versed in death energy even more than her master, or you might even say mother, like Lilith herself used to call her.”

“Yes, it was. Until a certain bastard came into the picture…” Rowan said, gnashing his teeth, his eyes spitting out fire.

“Do you know the existence of higher universes?” Rowan suddenly asked as Zeras’s eyes flashed, and this time, he decided to come clean.

“Yes, I do. My Nine Star Art manual is from an outer universe called Cangu.” Zeras replied as Rowan nodded.

“That’s true. One wrong day, an entourage from a higher universe paid a visit to our universe.

A time when inter-universe traveling was still a thing. Their universe was higher than ours, and they held a young man with them. One of seemingly very high position.

Morana and Lilith were simply walking through the markets, just like they always had, when they came across the entourage, and that bastard sighted Morana. A stupid emotion that never leads to a good thing sparked that day, in both that bastard and Lilith…”

“Love?” Zeras answered blankly as Rowan nodded hatefully.

“It was supposed to be something that would quickly die off soon, since Lilith almost never leaves the sect ground, but that bastard came looking for her in the sect.

We at first thought we could chase him away, until we realized his status in the higher universe.

A position that is almost at the peak of an entire universe. Someone we couldn’t afford to cross at all…” Rowan said as Zeras listened quietly.

“All it took was a few years for their love to blossom into a raging flame that can no longer be subdued. You might not know this, Zeras, but there is a forbidden rule in the sect. A rule you should be able to observe if you ever think about it.”

“And what is that?”

“The ladies of the Ten Thousand Transformation Sect can never get married!”

“What!?” Zeras almost jumped up in shock, yet when he thought of it carefully, he realized it was true.

“No female elder of the sect really ever possesses a child or husband. Undying Narelle never had a husband or child. Grand Elder Celestine also never has a child.

All they have are disciples. No female of the Ten Thousand Transformation Sect ever married. It was something that could easily go unnoticed by anyone, but it’s very understandable.

In this cultivation world, marriage is only for those who are ready to settle down, perhaps after giving up on the path of cultivation or having reached their cultivation limit. Then they’ll settle down to produce offspring that would carry on their names. The talk of marriage was never something really to be given much consideration at all. And it is more of something to create even higher offspring who have even more talent. That was essentially what marriage is in the upper realms.

Morana is the one who keeps the laws of the Ten Thousand Transformation Sect, and Lilith’s want for marriage with that bastard wasn’t something she could accept. Her own daughter breaking the rule of the sect which she herself was born to protect!? A big stain on her name and that of the sect.

And even more numbing is the fact that that bastard also firmly believes that Lilith’s true origin can only be in his higher universe, and he told her.

Once Lilith heard of her true mother and father still being alive, she changed. She became just like you, willing to do anything to find her origin too.

And if that comes with also staying with the love of her life, then why would she not take the chance? So she decided to leave with that bastard, and you can guess how that went with Morana…” Rowan explained as Zeras nodded cautiously, he could also guess how that would easily go.

“Do you see that mark in the Hall of Niagara, the mark that cleaved its upper part and hasn’t healed till now?” Rowan said as Zeras’s eyes flashed, remembering the strange mark that he saw never healed when he wanted to enter the temple.

“I do.”

“That mark is from a sword slash from Lilith. A simple slash that severed Morana in two complete halves, severed the hundreds of law guardians of the sect who wanted to capture her, and ended up cleaving the temple of Niagara in two. It never healed even after more than hundreds of years.”
