Chapter 666: Jue Di’s Condition

The moment he was sure they were alone, Lan Jue dialed his father’s number into his communicator . He told Jue Di everything that had transpired .

“These creatures are highly intelligent . She was probably testing you . ” Jue Di said once the story was finished .

“Dad, when you faced the alien in the Starfields we learned how strong they were . You are the most powerful human in history, is it possible universal protogenia will rebound on you, too?”

Jue Di was silent .

Lan Jue’s heart skipped a beat . His father had always been good about replying to his questions . This time, though…

Jue Di took a deep breath . “I wasn’t going to tell you and your brother, but now that you’ve asked it’s time . Yes – once a human reaches a certain degree of power the universe attempts to restrict them . You will begin to sense it once you achieve Nirvana . What we call the Infinite is just the beginning, a bottleneck to immortality . However, with no Immortal Realm there is no way to protect ourselves from the universe . The immortal of ancient days had reached heights the universe could not sustain, they surpassed the limits of this reality and hid in a place that kept them safe .

“This place was the Immortal Realm . No one knows how this pocket reality came into being . They say it was created by a being of immense power . As more and more immortals rose to prominence, this realm was no longer able to hide them from the repercussions of defying natural law . In the end, it collapsed . The immortals perished, or perhaps found some other way to hide their power from the cosmos . The Immortal Realm went by many names; Olympia, Heaven, Western Paradise… they all described the same thing . A place of safety for beings that could no longer live in the same reality as everything else .

“None of the ancient books spoke of it, but after years of experience I know that those who came to achieve immortality – be they sages, Buddhas or what have you – were unhappy . Every day the pressure of their stolen existence bore down on them, forcing them to live in cramped seclusion . I was blessed with talent and a potent lineage, and when I was your age my search for power was undeniable . I was determined to be the strongest human to have ever drawn breath . I achieved this, but when I did I began to sense something wasn’t right .



“When I achieved Nirvana I began to sense a darker part of reality pressing me . OF course I did not care at the time . I pressed back and found my way into the Infinite . I began to feel the danger, but my potential would not be stopped . I could not simply stop cultivating and halt progress . I came upon the border of mortality, felt myself forced against the barrier .


“In the old world when a being reached my level of power they had to face tribulation lightning . Surviving meant entrance into the Immortal Realm . It was said that when the Immortal Realm was first created the danger from tribulation lightning was not so terrible . Only once the Immortal Realm could no longer bear the power within it did the lightning became truly terrifying . Only the truly strong could survive, for only the truly strong could help the Immortals maintain the reality they’d built for themselves .

“Now it’s different . There is no immortal realm, and I must rely only on myself . Tribulation lightning has faded into legend, but the rejection I feel from reality is real . Every time I use my powers the universe can feel it and attempts to suppress what it senses as an aberration . It seeks to destroy me by consuming my life force . This is the reason why I hid away on Ziluo, cutting myself off from the rest of humanity . I had to take every precaution not to reveal my strength . But over the last couple of years I have felt I can no longer subdue my powers . It leaks, taking my life force with it . Under these conditions I have perhaps only three more years before my time in this reality is over, and only if I don’t use my powers . ”

Although Lan Jue had guessed at his father’s danger, hearing it struck him like a ton of bricks . He hadn’t known his condition had become so bad .

“Then, when you fought the aliens…” His voice trailed off .



Jue Di answered, his smile evident in the sound of his voice . “A true man has responsibilities he cannot shirk . You think I’ll let the universe tell me what to do?”

“What can we do? How do we stop it?” Lan Jue asked .

His father’s voice was solemn . “If the Immortal Realm is truly gone, then I don’t have the power to create one myself . My choices are limited; I can find a way to extend my life, or continue to this way until it claims me . I am close to what we call Immortality, but I need enough power to contend against universal protogenia and survive . I don’t have this power . However, if I were somehow able to break through and uncover the secrets of the Immortals, death would not take me so easily .

“I’ve been thinking a lot about what I experienced in the Starfields, against the alien planet . Whatever it was possessed the power of an Immortal . Those beasts couldn’t be called Immortals, but it possessed the strength of one . It must have some way of defending itself from universal elimination . However, during the fight it didn’t give chase, likely for the same reason I can’t show my real power . It would be destroyed just like I would . ”



As he listened, a thought crystallized in Lan Jue’s mind .

He perked up . “Dad… what if you could command more power than the greatest immortals? Could you resist the universe then?”

“The ancient texts seem to suggest it,” Jue Di answered . “For instance, one of the Three Pure Ones could do so . I’m sure that somewhere in existence there is this power, but it isn’t me . Perhaps you two, the younger generation could try . It’s likely that whatever method the alien is using to protect itself from obliteration takes a great deal of energy . They must continuously consume to keep from being destroyed . Approaching you as a mate was probably an attempt to perfect their own DNA . They’re a truly frightening race – strong and smart . ”

Lan Jue’s voice was low, hard . “It seems an all-out war with these creatures is inevitable, and that means we’ll need to face their false immortal . Do you have a strategy?”
