1332 It is time we start your and your wives' training.
"Don't push it, Dragon.
I will give you 10 years.
Do the best you can."
Saying those words, Lilith disappeared, fixing the bet on her own terms. Honestly, the very fact that she was even willing to give them some extra time could already be called generous.
After all, no matter what, the fact was, Nux had already accepted the bet, agreeing to the terms, Vyriana's request was unreasonable, however, there was nothing else she could do in this situation.
She had her own reasons for doing what she did, reasons that Nux was very curious about.
"Why did you it?" He questioned as he glanced at the Dragon.
Vyriana observed Nux for a while, then, she replied, "You would need these 10 years."
"What do you mean?" Nux questioned with a frown on his face.
Vyriana continued as a solemn look appeared on her face,
"Astaria's path was the clearest in front of me when I first met your lot."
Nux tilted his head, waiting for the Dragon to explain herself.
"I could sense that the woman was trying to do something different, she was trying to walk on her own path and I could even sense the Universe reacting to her will. She had the talent and I took her in because of that.
Then, I met the rest of you and it didn't take long for me to realize that Astaria wasn't alone, every woman around you was special in one way or another. It doesn't matter if you have a way to raise their cultivation method, all those women are persistent, even if they did receive help, it couldn't be denied that all of them were special in one way or another.
Even though I couldn't see it at first, as I spent more time with them, I could sense their talents as well. Take the elf for example, the girl was pure and naïve, traits that didn't go with most cultivators. She, however, was able to use her naiveness and love for you to form a Law, something not many beings could do, and reached a level where she could even be called one of the strongest Saints in Yrniel.
Then there is also her,"
Vyriana spoke as she pointed at Lane.
"She turned into a Shadow Demon and almost became a part of your body, your shadow, someone who couldn't be separated from you. Her obsession over being close to you was so strong that she managed to form her Law revolving around it. Even becoming somewhat of an Immortal in the Process. Though that Shadow of hers is still a problem, there is no denying that she is a special being who has already found what her impact on the universe is.
The others aren't any different either,
The General who recently turned into a Dragon, I can already see the universe acting around her like it did with Astaria before, I can see that the woman has changed after coming out of the Dragon Trials and if she follows my previous advice, I think she would be able to form her Law as well.
The same is true for the two Assassins, the Cat and the Mother, they should be able to form their Laws fairly quickly as well.
Amaya, well, she is a bright woman, I doubt she would let others overshadow her. Heck, I am pretty sure she is already vexed that three women around her have already surpassed her. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if she appeared tomorrow with a newly comprehended Law and a smug grin.
The rest of the women aren't any different either, it may not be very soon, but I can see all of them forming their own Laws and proceeding further in their cultivation journey very soon."
Vyriana spoke, seemingly positive about the group's future. Then, however, a grim look appeared on her face as she pointed at Nux, "The one I am worried about is you."
Nux narrowed his eyes.
"You are a monstrous Prodigy. Honestly, you are a little too monstrous. Predicting your future is no easy task. In one look, one can tell that your future is endless, with you standing on the top, ruling over everything.
Looking closely, however, one would start noticing a problem.
All your wives have a certain direction they can head into, sure, the direction they have currently cannot be called a Path, however, with some effort, I can imagine them succeeding in their particular fields, even becoming future experts who would have major influence.
The Problem, however, is you. Unlike your wives, you don't have any single direction to walk in. You are a being who excels at too many things, you do not have a particular Path.
You have a clear Goal in your head, however, how you are supposed to reach that goal, that is a big blank.
And this is a big problem.
Unlike your wives, I cannot see a way you can form your Law, so the two of us would need a lot of time to explore things and find a way out.
This is why I demanded more time.
You should already know this by now, but everything you see inside the Trial Towers, be it the Demon, Dragon, Human, Elven, Beastmen, Vampire, or the Dwarven Trials, all of it is created by that woman.
And just so you know, according to Master, when she was creating all this, she was merely half-assing it. The real strength of her illusions is on another level.
Now I am not saying you would lose the bet against her, since you accepted the bet, I am sure you are confident in winning. However, what I do not wish to see is you wasting this golden opportunity.
The place you will be going to is a treasure trove, the creator of all the Trial Towers is personally going to cast an illusion on you, you will be staying in a world no different than the real world for 10,000 years.
An opportunity like this is rare and if you go inside the Tower with the current knowledge of Laws you have, you will most probably waste this opportunity since you would have to figure everything out on your own.
This is why I asked for some extra time.
In these 10 years, we will try to figure out different through which you can form your Law. Of course, in case we do manage to find a way and you form a Law, you will be unstoppable, you can then simply go inside the Trial and reap the rewards.
However, if what I fear does happen and you are unable to form your Path and Law, then all the knowledge regarding the Laws you have gained exploring different things in these 10 years can be used and you wouldn't be a total newbie when it came to law.
Who knows? Lady Lilith's Illusion might help you form your Law."
Vyriana spoke, explaining her plan more elaborately and Nux, who had been listening to her words all this time had a lost look on his face when he glanced at the Dragon in front of me.
"I didn't know you were capable of coming up with a plan like this..."
He muttered, impressed.
"Are you calling me a fool?" Vyriana narrowed her eyes as she glared at Nux.
"No no."
Sensing danger to his life, Nux was quick to shake his head, explaining himself.
"I just didn't think you would be the type to think things through, after all, if I had the strength you have, I wouldn't care about most things and simply barge into all my problems in order to solve them."
"Flattering wouldn't work," Vyriana spoke with a cold look on her face.
"No, I am not trying to flatter you, I only speak the truth!" Nux replied, trying to explain himself.
Vyriana, however, didn't care. The woman had too many things to think about to be joking around like this.
They only had 10 years.
And this time, they couldn't go to places like Waranal, where time flows 25 times slower than normal, to train.
After all, the very reason the time flows slower in those places is because of the weaker presence of Laws there. Just like that, in places like New Eden, where time flew 25 times faster than normal meant that the presence of Laws is stronger, meaning that comprehending Laws in such places was much simpler.
As Vyriana said before, she was taken to a place even better than the New Eden to comprehend her Law, something that wasn't possible in Nux's case since unlike her, who wasn't bound by time, the man only had 10 years.
So for him, Yrniel was the only stable option since even now, they didn't know what direction they should head.
"Let's return to Yrniel.
I believe it is time we start your and your wives' training.
I need all of you to comprehend your Laws,
I do not wish to wait any longer."
