265 The Truth Part Two

Hearing the young woman's words made Mei look at her in surprise. It was no wonder the old man disappeared like it was nothing. But this left even more questions. As if reading Mei's mind the young woman continued to speak. "Listen to what I have to say first. I will answer everything once I have finished." 

Mei nodded to answer that she understood, causing the young woman to smile. She waved her hand and a small table and chairs appeared. On the table was a tea set and a plate of pastries. "Please drink some tea and have some pastries while you listen to what I am about to say." 

Mei cautiously took a seat as the young woman poured her a cup of tea and then a cup for herself. Mei took the cup and sniffed the contents. To her surprise, just this one whiff was enough to send a surge of spiritual qi into her system causing her to feel very refreshed. 

"You see the origin's power is not a power that one can get just by working hard. It is not something anyone can have except the reincarnation of the origin themselves. But even then the origin must work hard to regain their strength and normally have no idea that they were the origin in the first place. With each reincarnation, the origin can be reborn on any planet or universe at any time. 

"Normally, before they ever reach the pinnacle where they will then take over the role of the origin, they will have many helpers and followers. But there are always two people who represent light and darkness respectfully at their side. These two will represent everything that is good and bad and help influence the Origin's actions. Whether it is to save an entire world or kill every person on it. Will be up to these two the Origins right and left hands to decide these things. But these left and right hands of the Origin always come from different universes. Just like me and the ones who followed the previous Origin I followed the Origin's right hand. 

"Once the old origin dies, millions of years can pass before the next origin appears. Now the new origin has appeared although they might not know it yet. As followers of the previous Origin, it is our duty to make contact with those who will end up being the right and left hands of the Origin. I can not explain to you why it is possible for us to tell, but it is. Each of these left and right hands will become extremely powerful. Each one will rise to the pinnacle of their world and beyond. 

Mei sat in her seat sipping on the tea, she was given. She was not sure what to think about all of this. Mei only wanted to return home and live a life peacefully with her loved ones. So having such a grand task tossed on her shoulders was a little much. But on thing still bothered her. "Before anything, I must ask why was one of the books I was given written in Japanese?" 

"It's my senior's hobby to learn the languages across the multiverse. It just so happens that he likes to transcribe old cultivation manuals in different languages." The young woman said, scratching her nose trying to hide her embarrassment. 

Mei let out an "Oh." After thinking about everything that had been said. Mei came to a decision. She was about to reject the whole thing when the young woman stopped her thoughts. "I will say this first before I leave. You are far from being the true left or right hand. Your power is far from being powerful enough. Right now we are only giving you the ability to become powerful. This palace is one of those gifts."

The young woman pulled out a small pendant and handed it over. "This here is a key to enter this palace at any time from any place. But it will only teleport you out to the place you came in from. I hope you put it to good use."

Mei took the pendant in her hands and looked down at it. It was attached to a silver metal chain that she could place around her neck. The pendant itself was a diamond shaped purple gem. As she looked at the chain. The young woman's gentle voice entered her ears. "I leave what you do up to you. Grow strong and find the origin or continue your day to day life. We have done our task. But one warning, be careful or they might find you. Then everything you love and care for will be gone." 

A gust of wind blew past Mei's cheek as she looked up to see the young woman had disappeared. Mei frowned as she looked at the empty seat then at the pendant in her hands as she muttered: "She didn't even tell me her name..."
