Chapter 975 The Cause of the Fall (8)

Alastor did not reveal his identity to the humans when he acted as a mediator between them and Ames. Hiding his identity was not something he and Ames agreed on, but he was sensible enough to know that revealing his identity to the humans might cause some problems.

He was not worried about the Fates trying to do something to remedy the Human plane's knowledge of the Lower Realm. Because, like Nolan, he was aware that one of the Fates suffered an injury from Kyran. Thus, they could not interfere with anything in the Lower Realm that could change the course of the future.

Moreover, Alastor knew that the Human plane was one of those special planes in the Lower Realm that must not be destroyed during the War of the Sovereigns. Even if the Fates intervened with the events happening in the Human plane, they could not overdo it because, unlike in other planes, their influence there was only at a bare minimum.

Alastor initially believed that the reason behind this was the fact the Human plane was one of those special planes. However, he changed his mind after the recent event where the Fates personally appeared in Somuli to prevent Flos's and Obstruction's deaths. After all, Somuli, like the Human plane, was one of those special planes.

From this, Alastor gleaned that the Human plane was far more special than what they initially believed it to be. While he and the rest of the senior mages in the Higher Realm had already considered the Human plane special because it was confirmed to be a remnant part of the Land of the Ancients, he sensed a different type of power in the Human plane that lowered the Fates' influence over it.

If the other senior mages in the Higher Realm knew about this, they would do everything they could to understand what that power was. Such power that could lessen the influence of the Fates was something every wise mage would want for their planes. After all, if the Fates had less influence over one's plane, they could do and test many things that teeter to the edges of what the Fates deemed acceptable or unacceptable and would not have to worry about receiving an irreversible aftereffect.

Fortunately, the only mages in the Higher Realm who managed to find and enter the Human plane were not interested in that power.

Even the Demons, when they invaded the Human plane, they were only interested in locating the Dragon clan and the Heart of the Cosmos. Then again, the Demons were unaware that they were in the Human plane back then and that the Great Antitheus King, their leader, was on the brink of death and had greatly weakened. He failed to sense that different power in the Human plane until death.

The power that Alastor felt was actually weaker compared to the time when the Great Antitheus King was in the Human plane. The fact that the latter still failed to sense that power was a testament to how weak he had gotten.

Nonetheless, the Great Antitheus King might not have noticed that power, but he discovered that the Human plane had humans possessing the Four Ancient Magic Cores. This discovery could have changed the events in that particular War of the Sovereigns. If he had offered this intel to The Emperor and asked for leniency, the Demon Clan would have escaped total annihilation and could have returned to the Higher Realm.

Ultimately, the Great Antitheus King decided to keep this intel to himself, only telling it to a few of his loyal subjects. His decision destroyed the Demon Clan's chances of survival. Even his loyal subjects who knew about the existence of the Four Ancient Magic Cores in the Human plane were killed, with Ruin being the only survivor.

Ruin, being his uncaring and unambitious self, did not care about the existence of the Four Ancient Magic Cores— except for the human possessing the Void core, that is.

In the end, his unique character ensured that the appearance of the Four Ancient Magic Cores in the Human plane was kept secret. Not only that, it allowed Caelan, Stella, and Zane's plan to create a powerful Void Master for the future.

To them, Cyneah successfully 'taming' the mirror was unprecedented. Not only that, they also confirmed that her innate magic was quite different from the mirror. How was she able to 'control' the mirror?

Alastor and the rest of The Coven might be veterans even in the Higher Realm. Apart from that, their knowledge in the Lower Realm was far superior to anyone else in the Lower Realm. However, there were still plenty of things that they were unaware of because of the missing bits and pieces of history of the Human plane.

It was not wrong to say that their knowledge of the Human plane was greater than the others, but that did not give them an edge.

The others who knew about Cyneah's identity remained mum as well.

It was not because they did not trust Alastor completely. On the other hand, the level of trust they gave him was quite high. And that was the reason they could not disclose Cyneah's identity.

They knew Alastor had been open with them all this time. And how he could easily gather intel and share it with them with ease confirmed that he was receiving updates in real-time.

But how was he doing it?

He was not even using any communication device. Instead, they would only sense a strange fluctuation happening around him.

Unfortunately, none were present when Alastor and The Emperor exchanged words outside of Somuli. If they did, they would know that the former could use the Lower Realm's laws to a certain degree.

Then again, Ames was probably the only one who would understand the exchange between them because they spoke using the Ancient Language.

Time flew by, and almost two days had passed since Kyran went missing with The Emperor.

Alastor did not expect such a thing to happen. The Coven was practically everywhere, and many of them could communicate with the Lower Realm.

How could they not find Kyran and even The Emperor?

Alastor's expression turned grim as he thought of a place that the two might have gotten into, which would definitely make them unable to locate them.

The Land of Desolation.
