Chapter 1650 Theories

The Intent was the Heavens. What did that mean?

Alex knew what that meant, or at least thought he did. But surely that couldn't be true, could it? How could that possibly be? The possibility itself felt absurd to Alex.

Intent required intelligence and that came from...

No, what he was thinking could definitely not be possible. He must've been misunderstanding once more. After all, he had made a misunderstanding last time as well.

Surely this time he had assumed something wrong in the process too. It was better to be absolutely sure he wasn't letting his mind roam into places he would rather it not go.

"What do you mean?" Alex asked Godslayer.

He was inside his Spiritual sea now and was looking at the small white crystal sphere with dark clouds of shadow aura floating around him. He had no face and thus Alex couldn't see any expression on his face.

But the sound came from the sphere nonetheless. nOVElbIn

"I mean what I said," he said in a deep voice. "The Intent is the Heavens."

"Yeah, you said that," Alex said hurriedly. "But what do you mean by that? Surely you don't mean that the Heavens are a product of someone's Intent."

"That is exactly what I mean," Godslayer said softly. As soft as his voice was though, the confirmation rang like giant gongs in Alex's ears.

The Heavens, the thing that could be said to be the biggest thing of all the worlds was simply someone else's Intent? How was that possible?

And how strong did someone have to be to be that strong?

"Who..." Alex slowly asked. "Who does the Intent belong to?"

Or was it a 'what' again? He had thought the Intent belonged to the Heavens before, but if what they called Heavens was the intent, then who or what did that Intent belong to?

"We don't know," Godslayer said. "It's one of the great mysteries of the world."

"Mystery?" Alex asked. "So people in the other worlds, these so-called false Gods, do they not know the answer either?"

"To my knowledge, no," Godslayer said. "But my knowledge isn't as extensive as those gods. The most I know is what a regular late Divine realm cultivator would be knowledgeable about. Maybe a bit more due to my... circumstances at the time, but not a lot."

Alex was about to speak when Godslayer continued.

"But, I do not doubt that a few of these individuals would have inklings of what is going on," Godslayer said. "I, myself have a theory, although I cannot prove if it is true or not."

"Now that you've learned the truth, what do you think?" Godslayer asked.

Alex stopped there for a while, thinking to himself what he thought. The first thing he remembered was the thing that began this whole conversation.

He had felt the Intent, something that even Immortals shouldn't have been able to do. Why?

Was it because he called the Worldly laws so close to where the Heavens were? Certainly not. He had felt it before that, vaguely. The Worldly laws had just made it stronger.

If it was just a property of the Qi, then everyone else should've felt it too.

If it was the human's collective strive for survival, then everyone else should've felt it too.

If it was the True God's Intent, however... yes, that was possible. The Sun God was one of the two True Gods. If he was feeling this feeling because of him then...

"I agree with the theory about the True Gods more than the others," Alex said.

"Oh," Godslayer said. "So you believe the same theory as me then. Did you come to the conclusion on your own, or was it because I said I believed it?"

"I have my own reasoning to believe them," Alex said. "But the other theories have merit too, so I won't dismiss them immediately. It is possible that what is happening is either one of the three theories, a combination of the three theories, all of them, or something entirely different."

"Chose one for your own sake," Godslayer said. "Chose one and let your heart be calm."

"No," Alex said. "I do not need false consolation to be calm. I was scared, and might still be, but the fear I felt was irrational. Fearing this is no different than fearing that the sky would fall. If it does somehow become a problem, then fear will be a luxury."

"For now, I will fear what is right in front of me. The damn Dragon Emperor," Alex said.

Godslayer was astonished by Alex's words. "I..." he slowly spoke. "You should leave."

Alex thought for a bit and nodded. "If there is no more, I will go. I need to check on the plants," he said and quickly looked around. "I should suppress the Yang too."

He disappeared.

Godslayer remained where he stood for a long while before speaking to himself softly. "He handled it so much better than I did," he said before quickly stopping. "I did? When?"

For a while now, bits and pieces of his memories were returning to him. Not from when he was consumed by hatred and went around killing Gods. But one from much before.

Memories he didn't know he had. Memories that he thought should not exist. Since Alex had cleansed the corruption in him so long ago, he was being healed in more ways than one.

His memories were returning to him, and he didn't know if he liked that very much. Sometimes, it was so much better to just know these things without the memories.

Now, he questioned who he was before the corruption got to him. Had he always been like this, or had the corruption changed him?

If he had become different, could he ever return to a time when he was someone else?

Lost in deep thoughts, Godslayer drifted through Alex's Spiritual sea, to see if he could jog some more memories up for answers.
