Chapter 1682 Eyes Across Space & Time

Chapter 1682 Eyes Across Space & Time

Varian tried to just read everything. But the soul of the god was different from living beings. Even with the power of a rank 2, Varian couldn't just read away the memories. Of course, he could try to brute force his way through. But that risked collapsing the entire memory and destroying the soul before anything valuable could be obtained.

So, Varian started by checking the memories of every day. Thanks to his enormous soul power, he could check the memory of a millions years in an instant. So, even though there was memory of billions of years, he quickly progressed.

The older the memory, the harder it was to get started. Varian started from the newest.

The dead god stayed in this sealed area of the forbidden region for billions of years. No one came here ever. Not a single soul.

Soon, Varian dialed back, reaching the first 100 millions of the forbidden region's creation. This was as ancient as history could get. Still, nothing happened. The days passed with the dead god simply meditating or staring into the distance. And then, as Varian got into the first 10 million years, the world in the memory shifted. It was right in front of the dead god. But as if it was deceived his senses, the dead god didn't even react to it.

But Varian did. He could barely see it as even his brain were unable to interpret what he saw. They were receiving the sensory information but somehow his soul was rejecting it.

Pushing his soul to focus, Varian tried to see it. The thing that his soul instinctively shielded him from. "You..." He could barely see it. Very, very vaguely. A pair of eye—

"Huh?"

The eyes turned to him.

The memory shattered and Varian crashed to the ground, bleeding from his eyes and ears.

"W-What happened?" He muttered in confusion. Kacha! Kacha! Kacha!

The sound of glass breaking rang from the side. Varian tried to stand up but his body ached as if he was a mortal who ran a marathon. "Urgh!" He urged his paths, his slivers, even his authority as the owner of the forbidden land. But all he felt was fatigue. The exhaustion extended from the depths of his soul and wished for him to rest forever.

When the tribes got the slivers, they were very weak. If the slivers wished to, even though we weren't fused yet, could've destroyed the tribes and ruled the world.

The slivers didn't act.]

Varian narrowed his eyes. "Then what about you pushing me on this path?"

[It was the call from the universe which sensed its eventual doom. Slivers are ultimately a part of the universe. I acted to prevent the destruction of the universe.]

"But the god emperor is protecting the univer—"

[He might not be the savior you think he is.]

"..." [Of course, he might not be the destroyer either. The fate of the universe is completey blurred at this point.]

Varian exhaled deeply. "I want some apple pie."

The surroundings changed and a tear-stricken angel appeared in front of him. "Ariel."

"Ah?"

"If anyone from the alliance tries to attack, use..." Varian wanted to give her Aphosis' seal. But he realized it shattered. "Haaa~" Varian clenched his fist and his divine power condensed into a medallion.

"The barrier should still work but just in case, use this if any rank 2 attacks." The angel caught the medallion with a confused face. "Rank 2? Wait...rank 2...did you defeat th—"

Varian vanished without answering, like always. "Hey!" Only the reverberating voice of the angel was left in the forbidden region.
