Chapter 1970  Unwilling Living Or Unreasonable Death.

The progenitor returned the cubes to the sky. As it did so, it said, "If you don't remember what you have achieved, then everything you have done won't matter. All of it won't matter in the river of time. That is the calamity of this world."

Finally they spoke. All of them said at the same time, "I don't understand."

It said, "We don't have time. You need to remember. That is the most important thing. If you can remember, then you can kill me."

It continued to speak. "If you can kill me, then you can free me. If you can free me, then you can have my power. All you have to do is remember."

They were taken aback by that. It caused them to groan and tremble with frustration.

They were not getting the answers they wanted. Instead they were getting more questions. So they were getting more and more confused. The void universe seemed to be dying but isn't dead. It shouldn't be dying in the first place. After all, the void universe is so strong and prosperous.

It shouldn't be capable of dying. But it looked like it was dying, and it seemed that it wanted to die. But apparently, it can't die even though it wants to die and is dying.

Their minds whirled with confusing questions and statements. "The void wants to die but can't kill itself. This is despite it being so close to death."

"What is capable of killing the void universe? Why does it want to die? Why can't it die even though it wants to die? What is stopping it from killing itself? What is keeping it alive?"

"Why are we talking with an entity whose appearance is not certain? What if its words are not certain either?"

The void universe drew their attention by speaking. "I see that you have acquired some of the power of the lord of Madness. That is good. But that is also dangerous. You have to be very careful not to turn out like me. He is a true bastard."

The void universe laughed for a while, muttering, "Bastard madness. Madness bastard. Mad bastard. It is good that he is dead. He won't be missed."

Then it turned to them and said, "But then again, you have more dangerous things to deal with now than the lord of Madness. You have to avoid the danger within."

"The path of chaos has been corrupted by danger. It has been cut off in his absence. You need to ask for the seed of chaos if you want to become independent of the path of chaos and avoid this danger. It is a must that you..."

It stopped talking, and its body began to shake. The three runes on the chains on its body began to glow, and the chains dug deeper into the progenitor. Legion heard a wail of pain as this happened. It didn't appear to have come from the entity before them. Instead, it came from the whole world around them. It was as if the whole of the void universe was in pain. They could sense that the progenitor had become weakened and that its strength was waning. This was more evident in its voice as it spoke. Its calm voice had become a whisper. It reduced in volume until the progenitor became completely silent. "Remember to ask me for the seed of chaos. Ask me for the seed of chaos. Ask me for the..."

It continued to say that line over and over again as its voice waned. Its voice eventually died down. They didn't notice this because they were deep in thought. They had so many questions but no one to ask because the primogenitor had gone back to sleep. They just stood there blankly with their confused minds not knowing what to do next. Fortunately, they didn't have to wait for long. The runes on the chains binding the body of the void universe dimmed. Parts of its body had shrunk, which made its body smoother, symmetrical, and more definite.

All nine of them could finally see the same thing when looking at it. Then the void universe woke up again.

This time it was able to move every part of itself, not just its body. Every one of its eyes focused on them. It looked more powerful than before too. They could feel the difference in their existence vividly.

They could also tell that even though it looked like their progenitor, it wasn't their progenitor. But it was the void universe. It spoke to them, "Welcome, Legion. Congratulations on unlocking your potential."

Its voice was loud and majestic. It was the imperial voice of the Will of the void universe. They could recognize that voice anywhere after having heard it so many times and felt its anger towards them on so many occasions.. It was the void universe they were used to, not the sickly old entity that they spoke to earlier.

It didn't look or feel like it was dying. In fact, it was growing stronger by the moment. This should have been a good thing, but they were only more confused. They didn't understand why this was happening or what it meant. But the void universe wasn't willing to clear their confusion. It said with a stern voice, "I don't like you, Legion. But that is to be expected since you follow in the footsteps of the creator. You are a rule breaker, and you have even begun on his path. Congratulations."

"You have met the requirements for a reward. Unfortunately, you are late to this milestone. Another person has completed the comprehension of the Supreme law of order in this chaos cycle. You won't get the Authority Creation Universal artifact. But I still have to give you something for achieving the milestone in another unique way."

Without being told, they could already guess who it was that beat them to the punch and took the Authority Creation Universal Artifact for himself. They could only be one person responsible for that.
