Lord Shadow

Chapter 1163: There lies madness

At least the silence between them is broken. Behind them, the servants all looks a t each other with a smile, feeling happy looking at their lord and lady flirting. 

The culture of most humans in the slave world is a bit conservative. To say someone is beautiful, the lords usually would say it in other ways 

Only when they are husband and wife, the sweet whispers of nothing would be traded in their home. But Lord Azief is very direct.

But because of this novel way of being direct, at least to the eyes of the servants, Lord Azief seem very bold and some even thought that this kind of method is not bad. 

For a while only the sound of eating could be heard in the dining room. That awkward atmosphere continues. 

Azief had finished his bread and soup and put down the spoon on the edge of his plate. He then looks up and said.

‘Did you talk to her? Can I see the lab?’

Hearing this question, it took some time for Katarina to understand what Azief is talking about. Then she remembered something.

she nodded without seeing Azief face. Even though she tries to hide it one could see that she is blushing and her cheeks are red like a tomato.

Azief smirks a bit.

Then she said

‘I’ll send someone to give you the access card to the lab. There is an artificial guide for the lab. She would explain it to you about the technology there.’ She then returns back to sipping her soup. Azief almost wanted to laugh,

Azief also returns back to his food and took a few more bread resume eating. He also felt a bit awkward to see Katarina after last night

But he is trying to play it cool. 

He doesn’t know whether it works or not, but he hopes that it does. Azief almost wanted to laugh when thinking about it. 

For the past five months, his life has slowed down a bit.

He did not obsessively try to raise his strength in this world.

There is a lot of ways to raise his strength. 

One of them is using the blue crystal.

He believes that he could gain something good if he nurtures the blue crystal. But he did not use it even after having so many times in his hand.

The reason why he did not use the blue crystal is actually quite simple. 

He is sure that the Seresian world is not a suitable place for him to nurture the blue crystal. 

He had long decided to nurture that blue crystal on Earth

So, he will not use that blue crystal here on this world. There is also the fact that if he uses that blue crystal in this world it would only make it harder on him.

What if once he uses the bleu crystal it could not be moved to another place? While he got a bit of knowledge of how to use the bleu crystal, what happens next is still anyone guess.

If this blue crystal created some kind of device or opens up certain doors to other worlds what if by using it in the Seresian world, the blue crystal would permanently reside here?

That means he would always have to come to this world and break the barriers between worlds each time he did that. 

So, he scrapped the idea of getting stronger through using the blue crystal.

He would think more about it when he returns back to Earth

And it is also inconceivable in trying to breakthrough in this world considering the level of energy that it possesses.

The energy of this world is on the verge of rising. But Azief and Katarina pointed out a way of technology to the humans, elves and dwarves.,

They did not want the three races to follow the method of magic. The reason is simply because unlike Earth, this world is slowly recovering its energy.

And even though the energy recovery is fast right now, it is only for a few years. After a while it would slowly recover. The process would take thousands if not tens of thousands of years. 

And not to mention that even only a few cultivates the energy of this world, it would severely drain this world energy

It is for that reason that Azief and Katarina pointed a different way for the three races. This would also help the living beings of this world

The reason why the Seresian world populated by powerful demonic creature decline is simply because they are too many of them absorbing the energy of heaven and earth

Because this world is magical world, everything in this world is governed by magic and not by some laws of physics.

The death of forest, the advent of daily natural disasters are all the symptoms of the world raging as the Heavenly Will of the world is dying because of the lack of energy.

And unlike Earth, they do not have a powerful primordial artifact like the All Source to recharge the energy.

The Seresian world energy was accumulated for trillions of years but it was easily squandered by the Seresian demon in only a few thousand years 

The problem of the Seresian world has always been about the mystical energy and they never try to find another way.

Azief and Katarina then decided that kind of development would not be good for this world since the energy is just recovering.

Maybe after a few millions years, this world could start absorbing the energy of the world and become like the people on Earth.

But until then, it is better for them to engage in technology instead of exploiting the energy of the world that has just started recovering. 

As for the energy of this world other than Katarina, if Azief is using the energy of this world to breakthrough to Essence Creation it basically would drain this world of its energy. 

Katarina on the other hand is quite different. 

If she breaks through she would only break through toward Divine Comprehension level. 

At least, Divine Comprehension breakthrough is still something that this world could handle. And there is only one cultivator in this world right now so it would not affect this world badly.

But if Azief tries to use the energy of this world to break through to Essence Creation, not only he would drain the energy of this world, he might also fail because the energy on this world might not be enough for him to break through to Essence Creation

If breaking through to Essence Creation is so easy, there would be tens of trillions of them in the vast universe.

But there is only a few millions of Essence Creation leveler in the entire Universe and the Omniverse at large.

Of course, this millions number might seem a lot but when you compared it to the gigantic and vast sizes of Universes and think of how many lives that exist in all of Omniverse from the main Universe to the parallel ones, you would find that millions of people is simply too small of a number.

Even the stars in the Milky Way galaxy itself is as numerous as the sands on a beach. 

Now think of all the worlds that could exist and possibly exist in the Universe and think of the Universe that have passed by, Universes that no one could travel to as their planets keep moving, taking all of this into account, a few million, this number is infinitesimally small.

But that did not mean Azief himself slack at all. 

While he could not take too much the energy of this world, he did manage to heal the inner injury of his body when he got a backlash from his failed attempt at breakthrough.

And he had reached back at his peak. 

The only thing he could not do is his breakthrough. 

However, this delay did not weaken him. instead, it allows Azief to be more detailed in his attempt at breakthrough later.

Azief from the very beginning had been moving too fast in his quest for power.

He had never taken the time to stop. 

But now, here, he stops and he found that he has missed seeing many things, missed seeing many sceneries.

It gave him time to reflect and trying to see if he missed anything when he was breaking through in the past. 

He had time to hone the skills that he already has, perfecting it even further, creating attacking moves that amplify the use of the energy around him and the laws around him

He also uses the time to make sure his mental health is sane. He notices that as be become stronger, the more emotional he becomes. 

He examines himself, trying to see if anything could hinder him to breakthrough to other level.

Azief even thought maybe this is the so called heart demon that most cultivators in the Jade Empire have to face when they have to transcend to a higher level.

Ultimate peak, in the end, does it lie madness there? 

When he thinks of such hypothesis, he once again thought about the vision of himself in the future, like some kind of a destroyer killing all lives and he shudders
