Chapter 690 Second Memory (2)

"Spare the comforting words, Little Brother," Varuna shook his head with a wry smile.

"You know that's not what I meant. While we are indeed in the same realm, our powers are worlds apart. My power, while it is great, it is limited. You, on the other hand, have unlimited power as the Lord of Chaos."

"Lord of Chaos this, Lord of Chaos that. I'm getting tired of hearing it, Big Brother," Asura sighed helplessly before saying, "I am indeed the Lord of Chaos and have access to the limitless power of Chaos, but that is only because I was the first one to refine Chaos and become its one and only master."

"However, Chaos is the eternal legacy Allfather left behind after striving his whole life to carve out the path to everlasting, allowing all life to break free from the predestined fate of disappearing at the end of every chaos cycle. As long as I am the Lord of Chaos, I will govern and safeguard Chaos, not abuse its power."

"That said, being the Lord of Chaos is so boring. I would rather be remembered as Albion the Asura. And as just Albion the Asura, it is hard to say which of us Outerverse Originators is stronger, Big Brother," Asura stated.

"Haa… You are too humble, Little Brother," Varuna replied with a dry and helpless laugh.

"Without your extensive help, I never would have reached Beyond True Divinity Realm and become an Innerverse Originator with my limited talent, let alone an Outerverse Originator."

"My talent's limit should have been the Empyrean God Realm. It was you who permitted me to reach this height, which most beings could only dream about," Varuna said earnestly.

"Hahaha, my good Big Brother!" Asura suddenly burst into laughter before saying, "Even if I am acting humble, it is only in front of you. Who else would dare say the Asura is humble?"

"Moreover, if you really want to talk about favors, it is I who owe you the most. If it weren't for your protection and care back then, I would still be trapped in the endless cycle of reincarnation, living one mediocre life after the other."

"The Lord of Chaos of today only exists because of you, Big Brother," Asura emphasized before suddenly mentioning, "Given our long lives, it wouldn't be strange for us to be indifferent to everything. Why are you feeling sentimental today, Big Brother? What do you have on your mind?"

"This might be the last time we see each other," Varuna said after a moment of silence.

Asura was immediately startled by his older brother's shocking statement.

As the Lord of Chaos, there wasn't anywhere in Chaos he couldn't reach. So long as one lived in Chaos, he would always be able to see them—should he will it.

Thus, there were only two instances where he might not see his older brother ever again – either his big brother had become tired of life and wanted to end his eternal life, or he intended to leave Chaos and explore the No Man's Land known as the Boundless Sea of Nothingness.

Naturally, Asura didn't believe his big brother was tired of life, so it could only be the latter.

"As you know, everyone used to believe there was nothing out there in the Boundless Sea of Nothingness," Varuna calmly mentioned.

"However, that foolish belief was shattered when those things appeared three chaos cycles ago. Not only are there other existences out there, but they are all incredibly powerful. Even if they aren't as powerful as true Originators, they wield Origin Power like one."

"Furthermore, there are hundreds of them out there now. There were only half a dozen when they showed up at the Chaos Barrier the first time, Little Brother. How many more will show up the next time and the time after that? Perhaps even more powerful existences will start showing up to attack the Chaos Barrier."

"Whatever the case is, it is undeniable that Outer Beings are threatening Chaos. I fear that if we continue to do nothing, Allfather's legacy will end due to these Outer Beings. That's why I have made a decision – I will venture into the depths of the Boundless Sea of Nothingness to uncover its hidden secrets."

"If an infinitely broader world is hidden out there, I will find it. If greater beings exist, I will learn their path of evolution. If they threaten Chaos, I will lure them away," Varuna firmly declared.

"Do you have any idea what you are saying, Big Brother?!" Asura lost his calmness as he scolded, "I do not doubt you can freely traverse the Boundless Sea of Nothingness without an issue as an Outerverse Originator. Even these brainless Outer Beings pose no threat to you. But what if you run into a greater being—one with power beyond our imagination?!"

"If you die out there, your Origin Source may never be able to return! And even if a miracle happens and your Origin Source manages to return, there's still a high chance it will either be damaged or contaminated by the nihilistic power outside, causing irreversible change that even I may be helpless to undo!"

"However, that isn't even the most important part! If such damages or changes truly occur, I may never be able to locate your Origin Source and revive you, Big Brother! You have to rethink your decision! If you leave, you'll be damned to suffer in the endless cycle of reincarnation!"

"You must remember that we are beings who have long stood above the heavens! Our reincarnations will not be the same as any others! The heavens will envy you and give you impossible trials and tribulations to prevent you from rising above its head a second time!"

"You'll be condemned to mediocre lives filled with tragedies! And with each restart, your memories will be washed away. Even if you recover some in one life, you will lose them all in the next!"

"We won't just lose you; even you will lose yourself, Big Brother! This is far from a wise choice!" Asura stressed the consequences of dying outside of Chaos.
