1425 I won't sleep.
"When he grows up, I want that boy to be on my side, I assure you that he will be an invaluable addition to the Ancestral Order.
And for him to be on our side and be loyal to us, we need to show him that we deserve his hard work and dedication. We need to become his family.
A family he could trust."
Aeliana spoke and Althea, who heard those words, couldn't help but have a complicated look on her face, "Doesn't that mean that you are... manipulating that child...?"
"Well, I was never exactly a good person, now was I?" Aeliana replied with a smile on her face, not denying Althea's words.
Something that Althea didn't exactly like, neither did she understand. Who was the woman in front of her? She was the strongest existence in the entire world. She was the being who could face the entire Ancestral Order alone and still come out victorious.
Despite there being people who are at the same level as her, the woman was so strong that all of them combined weren't enough to hurt her, the gap between them, despite being on the same stage, was simply that big.
This woman was a monster through and through. A monster never seen before and a monster who probably wouldn't be born in the future either. She was the last person who needed to manipulate a child in order to get him on her side.
With her charisma, the boy would follow her on his own accord anyway.
Althea didn't like that her Goddess had to follow such small schemes just to get a mere child on her side and as if sensing her emotions, Aeliana couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Sometimes, you think too much, Althea.
Even if I say what I said, it doesn't mean I am trying to use him. I will never force him to do something against his will.
At the end of the day, Nux is still a disciple I took in, he is someone, who, someday, might inherit the name Ruinous and..."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSuddenly, a heavy look that Althea had never seen appeared on Aeliana's face,
"And the weight of the Ruinous name is much heavier than what you would expect."
"..."
Althea stayed silent. Even if she wanted to, she just couldn't open her mouth as she stared at the intense emotions she could see on Aeliana's face.
"I plan to raise Nux as my successor, of course, all of that is still far in the future, I am still not sure if I will follow through with this plan or whether Nux has what it takes to inherit this position.
Heck, I don't even know if that child wants to do something like this or not,
What I do know, however, is that my decision to take him in as my disciple is not wrong.
As for how far Nux will go..."
A smile appeared on Aeliana's face as she continued, "Wouldn't that be interesting to find out?"
She questioned and once again, Althea was silent, this time, she was too mesmerized to speak.
Aeliana Ruinous... her Goddess... wasn't she a little too beautiful?
Was it legal to be so beautiful!?
Althea had doubts.
...
On the other side, while Aeliana and her subordinate were discussing his future, Nux was busy reading the books he had received from Aeliana.
He knew most of the things about Yrniel, so the books related to Yrniel, he simply skimmed through them, making sure he knew everything written in there and for the parts he didn't, he studied them within a few minutes and stored it into his memory.
What he was more interested in, however, was the books related to the Ancestral Order. He knew quite a lot about the Ancestral Order through Vyriana, however, he still couldn't claim that he knew everything, not even the basics that everyone from the Order was supposed to know.
After all, this was his first time in a land where only people who are part of the Ancestral Order are allowed to be in.
According to what Nux had read so far, the Ancestral Order was a force that oversaw and secretly ruled over Yrniel, they often found beings with potential in Yrniel and offered them to join them, if those beings accepted, they were then brought here, where they are separated from Yrniel, are given resources to cultivate and strengthen themselves.
All of this was something Nux already knew,
What was more interesting was that despite ruling over Yrniel, the members of the Ancestral Orders themselves didn't stay in Yrniel, rather, They lived in two separate dimensions.
Low Order, and
High Order.
Yes, just as the name suggested, the only thing separating the two dimensions was strength. The beings living in the Low Order were all Cultivators who hadn't reached the Divine Stage, the Divine Stage Cultivators and above stayed in the High Order.
Of course, this didn't mean the two dimensions had different leadership, Aeliana had absolute authority in both these dimensions even though the ones managing the dimensions were different.
As an Emperor, Nux currently stayed in Low Order.
Something he didn't mind. After all, he, as the sole disciple of Aeliana Ruinous, could go to the High Order anytime he wanted.
Knock Knock
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Nux Leander, Lady Aeliana has summoned you to the High Order, please come out."
...and it seemed like he would be visiting the High Order sooner than he expected.
Thinking about it, Nux couldn't help but chuckle, he soon walked out of his room and was soon taken to Aelina's office.
"Master."
He bowed his head and greeted.
"Have you settled down at your new home?" Aeliana questioned with a gentle smile on her face.
"I have."
"What were you doing before I summoned you?"
"Reading the books you gave me."
"Oh? Already?"
"Of course, I don't like to slack off."
"I thought you would rest for a while. After all, you have seen quite a lot of things within just a day, I am sure your mind needs a break."
"I won't sleep."
Nux replied in an instant, the hatred in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
It was as if the very act of sleeping disgusted him, something that grabbed Aeliana's attention.
