286 Taboo

Mei fell to her knees and began bawling her eyes out. "He has a chance to live!" She choked out her words as she cried. She was happy beyond belief. She looked at Nomi's frozen body with a mother's warmth in her eyes. 

A little while later, after calming herself down, Mei was standing in front of Grandpa Mu who was staring at her. His expression, very complicated. "I was going to allow you to gain more experience here. But instead, I will give you a choice. I can help you return to Phantasia or you can stay here and take this opportunity where you can not age to grow stronger. I will say that only a couple of hours have passed on Phantasia. Your Father there King Augustus also knows you are alive and well. even with all the time differences and the fact that you were on a different world, we were able to keep track of you due to your father and mother's efforts. King Augustus is taking care of everyone on Phantasia for you. But I still can offer you the chance to go home now. You do not need to stay here and put yourself in harm's way with the Machine Empire. They might not come alone either. The Machine empire seems to have contacts with those higher up." 

Mei who was listening to Grandpa Mu asked: "You say those higher up what do you mean by that?" 

Letting out a sigh Grandpa Mu stroked his beard. He had not planned to tell Mei about any of this until later but now he seemed to have no choice. "Normally one would not learn of this until they reached the higher planes. But as you know we celestials and even cultivators strive to become true gods and beyond. But there are many realms above the true gods and the ones who stand above them all besides the Origin which never interferes with mortal matters are the Creators. 

"These Creators sit on a seat that is controlled by many races. They oversee the happenings of the universe as a whole and will dictate the life or death of everything from people to planets or even whole galaxies. The problem is this… the Creators are unmatched to all races and even becoming a Creator would take great feats and millions if not billions of years. Except for a certain few. One of the taboos and a law that they passed down only known to those of the higher planes is the law that cultivators and celestials must never give birth to a child. 

"There are two reasons for this. During the dawn of the last Origin, there were cultivation methods that allowed anyone to cultivate both magicules and spiritual qi. Although these cultivators were stronger than others, that was it. They were only stronger than others by a little bit. That was until the day a male cultivator and a female celestial met and fell in love. Their meeting was by chance. The male cultivator had found a hole in space and time and passed through it bringing him to a world where celestials lived. The male cultivator and female celestial promised to marry each other and gave birth to a young boy.

"His life was going smoothly. He could roam the galaxy at will and do whatever he wished. That was until one day he met a creator who was out on a leisurely stroll. The creator being as arrogant as he was got into a fight with the young man and lost horribly. The young man's strength had grown too strong. He was now able to fight on par with the creators. 

"As word spread the death of one of the creators, the other creators could not tolerate this shame and sent out many people to find and kill this young man. Under the onslaught of the many, the young man was driven into a corner. With no other option, he was about to detonate himself to take down all his attackers with him. 

"But he was stopped. The Origin appeared out of nowhere and gazed at all the creators causing them to stop their actions. No one dared to speak as they watched the Origin take the young man away. After that, a new law was passed down and all the cultivation methods that allowed others to cultivate magicules and spiritual qi at the same time were collected and destroyed, a rule where no cultivator and celestial were allowed to give birth to a child was also passed down. 

" This happened millions of years ago and since then the taboo was never broken until the day your mother and father met and fell in love. You are their offspring and are what is considered taboo to the creators. My guess is that when you used the Omni Box, it recorded the kinds of powers you had which then the Machine race reported to their contacts connected to the creators." 

Mei took in all the information that she was just given and frowned. This meant her transporting to this world and the fact that Nomi had to be frozen until the day she could revive him, was all because of the Machine race. "I will stay on this world and grow stronger. Until I kill those that put Nomi on the brink of death I will not be able to return to Phantasia. From what you said I can go many years here without much time passing on Phantasia so there is no harm in me gaining more strength here. Plus… I have something I need to do in the Immortal Realm."

Mei did not forget the words that The old man said to her. That there was a place that hid some kind of item that would allow her to pass between worlds. She would find that first before returning to Phantasia.
