There are two words that Klaus has been looking for answers to for a while now.
One is ’why’ he was here. Why is he the Paragon? Why do the heavens hate him?
This word had raised so many questions over the years that he had no answers for.
Most of the ti, he wonders why his nature is different from everyone else’s.
However, as he grows and learns more about his past, so of those questions are being answered, even if in the most subtle way.
But when the second word cos into play, everything changes.
’Where’ is he from? Where did he co from? Most importantly, where are the Paragon stars from?
These three questions needed answers. Thankfully, Efad just said sothing that caught his attention.
"What do you an by when I arrived?"
"Oh, you are not from this Universe, buddy—we are from sowhere else. We are just here on a mission."
Klaus stared at his past self with a stunned expression for a few minutes before a word ca out of his mouth.
"Huh?"
He was at a loss for words. Obviously, he expected Efad’s answer. In the past, when he found out the heavens hate him, he had anticipated this reason.
He wished to find out where he is from, and in so cases, he even expected the answer to be just what Efad said.
However, expectation and reality are two different things. In fact, a part of him wished his suspicions weren’t true.
"No need to look stunned buddy. The answer will co to you eventually. For now, know our existence in this universe—the reason why we had to reincarnate nine tis—was all to prepare for the mission we are about to embark on."
"Don’t just end there. Add more context."
Efad laughed. "Sorry, buddy. That is all I know."
"Bullshit. I know you know more than you are saying."
"I am telling the truth. I don’t know more than I said. After all, you had that mory wiped before you entered into the nine reincarnation cycle."
"Then how am I going to know why I am here if I don’t have mories of that?"
"That is where the Star Lights co in. All you need to know is in the Nine Paragon Stars. Unlock them, and everything will beco clear."
Klaus stared long and hard at his 9th incarnation before a smirk appeared on his face.
He hated that whenever he was drawing close to sothing that would finally explain his existence, sothing else seed to be in the way.
In the past, he had encountered these problems.
However, while he hated it, there is just no way he could change anything. He would have to wait until the day he finally unlocked all Paragon Stars.
"Tell more about this Primal Bloodline."
"Sure." That is within his capabilities, so he started to speak. "A very long ti ago, you gave the Primal Bloodline to an angel who, since then, has passed it down through his lineage.
You told him that one day, soone in his family will awaken the complete version of the bloodline, and that when that day cos, they have only one thing to do: raise this person into a fine warrior.
This Burning Angel is that child. He had no idea you were the reason he is who he is, but he also cannot kill you since you made him who he is." Efad smiled, then continued.
"When you first t him, he hadn’t yet awakened the innate talent that would finally awaken the true Bloodline. So he tried to kill you, but later on, when his true bloodline awakened, he started dodging you, perhaps out of sha.
Millions of years ago, when I was about to enter the last reincarnation, I t him. He recognized with a re glance, and we bonded. I learned about his adventures and gave him so pointers on improving his strength.
I even got to et his family. However, when the day for my ascension was drawing near, the Heavenly Court attacked my people and killed them.
Hael’s family was among those who died. I was too late to save both his family and mine. So before I entered reincarnation, I gave him a way to identify early this ti around so we could better plan our revenge on the Heavens court."
"I suppose that explains why he seems to hate the Heavens Court." Klaus sighed, but then his mind picked up on sothing.
"That is all good, but where does he fit in? What does the Primal Bloodline do..."
"Oh, that—it keeps this Universe sealed. As long as he lives, this universe will be sealed, and nobody, absolutely nobody aside from him, can ascend to the next realm."
"Which is..."
"The Primordial Realm. His blood holds the key that has kept the universe at bay for all these years. Of course, the Cosmic Mother had her hand in it, but without the Primal Bloodline, even she wouldn’t be able to lift the seal."
Efad paused again and stared at Klaus’s confused face for a while before a smile appeared on his face.
"Take it like this. The Cosmic Mother, the one who regulates all Cosmic Laws, needs the blood flowing through Hael’s body to open the seal binding this universe.
But for that to happen, you must beco a Celestial and fully awaken all nine bloodlines and the Primal Bloodline that binds them all. So you, Hael, and the Cosmic Mother are the only things keeping this universe alive.
Hael is alive because he is your backup plan. If you were to fail your mission, he would ensure the universe at least doesn’t fall into the hands of a tyrant."
"So if I am to make sense of what you are saying, Hael is like the heir of the Universe, that one day, if I were to fail at my unknown mission, his bloodline, which is binding this universe at the Celestial stage, will trigger and make him the king of the universe."
"That summarizes it. Looks like your brain is even bigger now." Efad laughed. "However, if this universe becos his to rule, then it will forever remain a Celestial Universe. It can never ascend."
Klaus nodded. "I think I am getting the gist of things."
His mind is too big for him not to see so hidden details. Just now, he learned there is a realm above the Celestial stage and that he ca from another universe.
Naturally, that is a unique way of saying you are from a place where Celestials aren’t the strongest. However, because you had to co save a universe, you left it all behind and had to start from the bottom again.
But maybe because you were not sure you could succeed, you brought a backup plan in the form of a bloodline that will trigger and automatically make him the king of the Universe.
That is just sothing to think about. However, Klaus isn’t that concerned now.
Knowing the Burning Angel is on his side gave him all the confidence to know his past lives didn’t just ss around. They made sure this life, being the last, gets ahead of things before it is too late.
"Why the Seven Dominion Eye, though?" Since all this started when he was tasked with learning the technique, there must be sothing unique about it.
"The universe is weakening, buddy. The Foreign Race is here, and so you must be prepared. However, while their arrival weakens the fabric of the universe, it also opens windows into the unknown."
Efad stood up and stretched. "Reaching the God stage is the easy part. As a Paragon, your privileges end at the God stage. So to reach the Supre and finally climb to the Celestial stage, you need to look into the unknown.
The Seven Dominion Eye will co in handy when that ti cos." After saying that, he turned to Klaus and pressed his finger against his forehead.
"Good luck, buddy. You have a lot to do and little ti to prepare."
