From the Book, it was clear that almost everything was connected, one way or another to the War of Gods.
Every change that his world went through... and the Changes that the Nether Realm went through.
At this point, he couldn't help but think if the sudden rise of the King of the Upper Realm was also related to the Great War of Gods.
According to the Stein Clan, the King of Upper Realm rose suddenly, at the time where their clan used to reign supreme because of the inheritance. And the inheritance was given to their clan after the great war.
That made him believe that the change in the Upper Realm happened at around the same time as well.
Everything was connected with an invisible threat. However, he still couldn't see if it was all an accident, or there was a puppet master behind all this.
Was this really a coincidence that Karyk was the first person to awaken in their world with a supreme element? Was it just a coincidence that his awakening led to the awakening of others? Or was there something else about him that they hadn't seen yet?
"Argh, it's so frustrating." Gabriel closed the Book, feeling a headache.
He looked around and could see nothing but darkness and the faint glow of the moon. It was the middle of the night. In his reading, he was so engrossed that he didn't even know how much time had passed.
"I need some fresh air," he muttered to himself and headed out for a walk.
As he walked, the wind whispered eerie tunes, and his thoughts were clouded with more questions than answers. Something strange was definitely going on. He didn't know why, but after knowing everything, he felt even more lost.
Subconsciously, he didn't feel connected to the Beast Monarchs and the woman who gave him the gem.
However, for some reason, there was a deep feeling hidden inside him that made him feel as if he could trust them. He couldn't help but wonder if it was the remnant feeling inside the skeleton that was affecting him.
"What do you think about all this?" he asked, gazing at the moon above the sky. However, he was clearly talking to Karyk.
Unfortunately for him, Karyk didn't reply. It was unclear if the two couldn't hear each other, or Karyk just didn't feel like speaking anything for the time being.
He had thoughts of his own.
As Gabriel was starting to think that he wasn't going to get an answer, a voice fell in his ears.
"The Realm of Gods... It might actually be the reality. But if that's the reality, then those people already know about us... They knew about us long ago."
"What do you mean?" Gabriel asked.
"They knew about our existence. They knew about everything," Karyk replied. "And not just that, they are watching us...closely."
"How can you be so sure?" Gabriel frowned.
"When we turned our world into our Domain..." Karyk muttered. He didn't have to speak much. Just that much was enough for Gabriel to realize what he was thinking.
The time when the two of them were one, they had used a World Tier Spell to turn their world into their domain. An unknown True God had entered their World to stop them.
At that time, they both knew that the man wasn't from the Upper Realm but they didn't know where he was from.
Thanks to their Domain, they had killed that man. However, not long after that, Karyk had felt that someone was watching them from far away.
Now that the both of them knew about the existence of the Realm of Gods, it wasn't hard for them to guess who was watching them.
They had killed a True God and broke the laws of the universe. At the time itself, the news about them should've spread.
That meant their existence was exposed right then. However, no one came to kill them, which was more surprising.
At the end, both of them were confused on what to believe. However, Karyk knew that no matter what, his goal remained the same! He had to kill all the Gods who betrayed him! That was his priority! As for everything else, he didn't care!

Another month passed. Even though Gabriel wanted to leave the Beast Region, he had decided to stay behind for the time being to learn more from the Beast Overlords.
He knew that there was still some gap between him and Karyk. He could use the Element of Death through his link to Karyk, but It wasn't as strong as Karyk. At the same time, his mastery over his other Elements wasn't even close to being adequate.
He could defeat the Goddess of Light, but when it came to facing Karyk in a battle, he knew he had no chance!
That's why, he wanted to learn everything that was hidden inside him, especially the abilities related to the Bloodline of the True God that they had killed, and the abilities of the Skeleton that he possessed.
He could only rely on himself to master the Bloodline. However, to be able to use the abilities that this skeleton granted him, he needed the help of people who knew and understood the person this skeleton belonged to.
Throughout the entire month, Gabriel was training with the Beast Overlords, while learning the Art of Worldly Laws that he could control.
Initially, he didn't know what the characters on the skeleton were. However, through the Book he had, and the Beast Monarch Guidance, he came to know that those characters were called the Worldly Laws.
There were said to be thousands of worldly laws which could be controlled by learning to utilize their ancient character. However, only a few of those characters were discovered by the owner of that skeleton, who carved those characters on his bones.
He was able to use the Ancient Characters to use the Worldly Laws, which allowed him to survive the War of Gods and escape. However, he couldn't survive for long. In the end, even he couldn't avoid fate.
