Chapter 1217 Meeting With Time Primogenitor.
'Siaseme as in Foremother Siaseme?' Candace sucked in a deep breath in agitation.
The only consolation they have was that even the primogenitors were under the same execution sword!
Just as sudden as it appeared, the pressure went away in the blink of an eye.
Felix didn't even need to ask about his master's situation as he already knew that she had bad blood with Foremother Siaseme.
Ever since then, Lady Sphinx didn't come eye to eye with Foremother Siaseme.
If it was any other primogenitor, he wouldn't have acted like this...But Lord Zurvan wasn't any primogenitor. He was the last hope he had to remedy his mistake and save everyone.
Unlike Felix, he couldn't care less about any other earthling as long as his sister was revived...He planned on doing whatever it took to make it happen.
Half an hour later...
Felix didn't bring the others with him since Olivia had no idea that they planned on requesting Lord Zurvan to revive their people.
"That must be it." Felix said as he eyed a humble hut that was covered from top to bottom with vines and moss.
The building was compact, totally constructed of wood and bamboo, and had a rustic, natural aspect.
The supporting beams were encircled by vines and other tropical vegetation, giving the impression that the hut had spontaneously sprung from the forest.
When they reached the door, they found out that it was open and welcoming to an aroma of moist dirt flora that filled the interior.
There were only a couple of wooden stools and a table in the functionally minimal room.
Felix and the others didn't bother to appreciate the calming simplicity of the house as their eyes had been lured to focus on a man who was sitting near the fireplace.
"Lord Zurvan, it's a pleasure to finally meet you." Fenrir and Lady Sphinx bowed their heads without an ounce of disrespect.
"The pleasure is all mine." Lord Zurvan smiled kindly as he turned his chair to face them.
When Felix peeked at his appearance, he was taken by surprise as Lord Zurvan didn't seem to originate from any species.
He was wearing a long, flowing robe adorned with intricate symbols and patterns that seemed to represent the cycles of time.
He seemed more like a chimera, resembling his master Sphinx...But, his guts were telling him that he was far from being a chimera.
'Welcome back? What is he talking about?' Felix was left baffled.
'Don't think too much about it.' Lady Sphinx's eyelids twitched, 'Lord Zurvan is known to love messing with people by using such peculiar statements to confuse them.'
He believed her since he knew that anyone would be tripped off if someone that could control time were to tell them anything related to their future or past, whether it was a lie or truth.
Felix smiled wryly, not knowing how to behave before his eccentricities.
His statement had caused the atmosphere to grow stale instantly as even Lady Sphinx and Fenrir was left a bit stunned.
He literally shattered their hope before they could build some confidence to voice their request!
They were hit pretty hard with Lord Zurvan's rejection as they had been dreaming about this day for more than a millennium now.
Alas...
Thud!!!
Without an ounce of hesitation, Noah knelt down with his head on the floor and begged him to reconsider his decision. His eyes were reddened like he was trying his best to hold his tears while his voice was cracking mid-sentence.
"Boy, you are disrespecting your master by kneeling before another." Lord Zurvan advised after seeing Fenrir's frigid expression, "You better stand up if you don't want to get punished."
Lord Zurvan lifted Noah up with his mental energy and disclosed with a bitter smile, "As much as I want to help both of you, it's really not that simple."
Alas, he was going to drop this thought faster than Noah dropping to the ground.
"That's the premise."
"Well, I can do that." Before Noah and Felix could feel giddy, Lord Zurvan shook his head, "Unfortunately, everyone revived will be merely empty husks without souls to them."
"The moment someone dies, his soul becomes a clean slate with everything he has experienced in his life has been erased. So, even if I revived your sister, she won't really be your sister as her soul will be completely new." Lord Zurvan shook his head, "If you just want her body, there are much easier methods like cloning or such."
Even when he was desperate and borderline crazy about his sister's death, Noah was still sensible enough to understand that his sister's soul was what mattered, not her body.
"You guys want me to do this to tens of billions of dead people? Not a chance." Lord Zurvan said with a stern tone, "Everyone who experienced death in their lives learns to process their grief and move on. I am certain that everyone has already done this in merely a decade while you boys had more than a millennia."
"If you can't move on already, that's on you and no one but you."
