Prime Originator Chapter 665 - Feeling Threatened

Chapter 665 - Feeling Threatened

Standing beside the Dimension Crack, Leon could feel the boundless power of nihility from the Chaos Sea.

If such power had long existed, even before the beginning of time and the formation of Primal Chaos, it was a wonder how the world could have lasted so long.

And if everything is bound to return to nothingness, everything was transient, nothing was eternal.

Ultimately, everlasting would be a vain dream.

'No, nothingness is eternal—if nothing else. Perhaps, the secret to understanding the everlasting lies in understanding nihility first,' Leon thought.

Eventually, he shut his mind from all distracting thoughts, focusing entirely on comprehending the source of nothingness from the Chaos Sea.

Slowly, a chant was instinctively formed in Leon's mind.

'Everything was born from nothingness. From nothingness, infinite power is drawn. Nothingness is the beginning and the end, the source of all creation and destruction.'

Nihility was not a Great Way. It was the Truth, the answer to all riddles.

Existence and non-existence were just two sides of a coin, separated by a thin wall called belief.

Because something is not seen, it does not mean it does not exist. And even if something is seen, it does not necessarily exist.

As Leon silently comprehended the Nihility Law and deepened his understanding of it, he was enlightened to some truths.

Subtly, a faint connection was formed with the Chaos Sea, and his Nihility Law strengthened.

…

…

…

Meanwhile, Saint Voidflame and Celestial Earthshaker observed Leon with surprises.

They gradually realized Leon was someone who had comprehended the Nihility Law before their expressions quickly turned solemn and grave.

"This child has comprehended the absolute power of the Chaos Sea…! The power of nihility has been tamed by this child! He must be destroyed immediately—!" Celestial Earthshaker exclaimed solemnly.

"Stop!"

As she prepared to strike Leon in the back with the full blast of her celestial power, Saint Voidflame's spiritual form stood in her way, followed by his tree roots moving over to block the Celestial Ruler.

"Don't get in my way, Voidflame. This child must die. His ability will be the death of all worlds if it is allowed to grow!" Celestial Earthshaker barked.

"You are jumping to conclusions again, Earthshaker!" Saint Voidflame growled before he began rebuking, "The appearance of the Dimension Crack already marks the beginning for the ending of Primal Chaos!"

"The Chaos Sea is a problem that even the G.o.ds and Devils of old did not experience! Do you think anyone can stop the power of nihility if even the G.o.ds and Devils of old did not have a solution prepared for this situation?!"

"Even we can only exhaust our powers to contain the Nihility Aura! We have no means of actually stopping the expansion of the Dimension Crack! It might be true that this child's ability could hasten the end of the world, but if there's even a slim possibility that he could save it instead, I will not let you kill him!"

"Have you gone mad, Voidflame?! That's the power of nihility! How can nihility save anything when it is the very thing destroying everything?!" Celestial Earthshaker fired back.

"Mad, you say?" Saint Voidflame snickered before he said imposingly, "On the contrary, this Saint has never been more clear!"

"I know you are making hasty decisions because you feel threatened! After all, you are bound to Gaia! Thus, if Gaia is swallowed by the Dimension Crack, you will also die! However, you mustn't let fear cloud your judgment, Earthshaker!"

"Don't you think it's enough proof there's hope for this world when this child can control the Nihility Law to protect himself from nihility?! No one has ever comprehended the Nihility Law! Do you think we can find another person if this child dies?!" Saint Voidflame shouted.

Saint Voidflame's words finally reached straight into Celestial Earthshaker's heart, startling her greatly like she had just been doused in cold water.

Within a short moment, Celestial Earthshaker ultimately calmed down, no longer in a rush to kill.

"Thank you, Voidflame," Celestial Earthshaker expressed her grat.i.tude before saying, "If not for your intervention, I could have made an irredeemable mistake and become the sinner of Primal Chaos."

"This junior also thanks Senior Voidflame for protecting this junior," Leon gave the tree spirit a respectfully fist-palm salute.

Unknowingly, he had already ended his meditation.

The verbal exchanges between Saint Voidflame and Celestial Earthshaker did not precisely go unheard by Leon while he was deepening his understanding of the Nihility Law.

"Oh? You must have heard everything," Saint Voidflame commented with a nod before he waved his hand nonchalantly, "Don't mind it too much. This Saint just hates to see a young talent die so early."

Although the tree spirit made it seem like a small matter, Leon understood that he was highly valued by the tree spirit.

Shortly after, Leon turned to the stone golem calmly and also offered her a courteous fist-palm salute, "This junior also thanks Senior Earthshaker for staying your hand."

"Hmph."

Celestial Earthshaker snorted slightly before she furrowed her brows and gazed at Leon with her obsidian orb-like eyes.

"I don't understand how you can still remain so calm when this Celestial just tried to kill you. Do you not fear death, or did you foolishly believe this Celestial won't actually kill you?"

"Not at all," Leon shook his head and said, "On the contrary, this junior fears death a lot—not because this junior finds death scary, but because this junior still has many things to accomplish and people to protect."

"Then how can you still look so calm?" Celestial Earthshaker frowned.

"This junior understands that if either Senior Earthshaker or Senior Voidflame wants to destroy this consciousness of junior, this junior would not be able to resist at all. Since this junior cannot do anything about it, what use does worrying about it have?"

"Enough, Earthshaker." Saint Voidflame interjected before adding, "You are not asking the important questions. It is evident that this child is not an ordinary person."

"What we should we asking is how this child comprehended the Nihility Law and if there's a way to stop the Dimension Crack's expansion with it!" Saint Voidflame firmly stated.
