Chapter 999 999: Origins
The small creatures lacked any extraordinary abilities or powers. They were not much different from ordinary animals, yet their existence was still quite remarkable.
"Were the animals also created by your family?" he asked Talia.
"I would assume so," Talia answered. "This entire place... No life form can be born here without the interference of the Family. The laws here would never allow it. So it makes sense that even these life forms were created by them."
"Your family sounds very strong," Lucifer commented.
The more he learned about Talia\'s family, the more extraordinary they sounded which made it even more strange how they were unknown in the world.
Even when the Ancestral Species ruled over this universe, that family was unknown as if they didn\'t even exist at all. If they were really that strong, they would\'ve been more well known in the war against the Ancestors.
On the contrary, it was the Baltics who contributed the most in the war, eventually attracting the wrath and getting annihilated completely.
"Strong..." Talia fell into a momentary silence, understanding the complexity of her family. "They are very strong."
"Are they stronger than the Ancestral Clan used to be?" Lucifer asked, trying to gain more information.
"Hahaha, although I never fought against the Ancestral Clan, but from what I heard about them, they were very strong by this universe\'s standards. But that\'s the extent of it. If my family existed in this Universe, a single member from our family could\'ve annihilated them."
Although it sounded like she was bragging, there was not a hint of a lie in her words.
It was as if she truly believed what she was saying. "Where I came from, the Clans like the Ancestral Clan should be considered only mid tier clans,"
Lucifer wasn\'t sure what to believe, but if what she said was true, then that meant her origins were truly extraordinary. But that left some flaws in her story. Was there really an entire universe that they didn\'t know about?
Also, if she indeed belonged to a remarkable family in a universe that was much stronger than theirs, that meant they had better resources as well. So why would Talia come to this universe and establish the Star Alliance here?
Another question that Lucifer couldn\'t shake from his mind was why Talia was so weak if she was from a family like that?
She wasn\'t weak in essence, but according to his memories, the beings from the Ancestral Clan were much stronger than her.
Even if he were to fight her, he wasn\'t certain if she could defeat him. If the daughter of that family couldn\'t defeat him despite living for so long, then how could her family defeat his clan which had the Bloodline Ability of every species in this universe?
He directly asked her, "If your family is so strong, shouldn\'t you be strong as well? Why do you need an inheritance to fight the last remaining member of the Ancestral Clan?"
"Are you calling me weak?" Talia frowned in response. "The only reason I\'m after this inheritance is because girls in our Family are born weaker than men. That\'s why this inheritance was created to close the gap."
"The men don\'t need the inheritance, and they are much stronger. But for me, this inheritance is very useful. You\'ll see once I get it."
"Your story raises so many questions in my mind," Lucifer commented. He wanted to ask so many things but he didn\'t know where to start.
"Why did you enter this universe? Why did you create Star Alliance? What is your true goal? The Ancestral Clan had nothing to do with you. So why are you doing all this?"
"Don\'t give me the story that you care about the people of this universe. No one would believe that after knowing where you come from."
One after another, Lucifer asked the question in his mind. He had still scratched only the surface of the secrets hidden in the depths of the woman\'s heart.
He still didn\'t know why he had killed that woman in the future that he had seen. And even if he killed her, why did her family never appear to kill him in revenge? Instead, it was the Star Alliance that was after him.
Although he had changed some things about the future, there were still many things that were unclear. He wondered if this was the place where he killed the woman? But if he did that, no one was going to have any proof that he did it.
He could easily give excuses about some accident that took Talia\'s life. No one was there to find her body after all. So it didn\'t make sense for the Star Alliance to chase after him in that future.
"You shouldn\'t ask what you don\'t need to know." Talia\'s expressions turned darker. It was unclear which of the questions made her angry, but she didn\'t look like she was going to answer.
For the rest of the journey, Talia didn\'t answer a single thing about her past or reasons. The conversation between the two was limited to small things about this journey.
Before long, six months had passed from the moment Lucifer entered this world with Talia. These six months had been the most boring time of his life, as they just traveled silently most of the time.
Fortunately, the journey was now over as Talia stopped before a thousand feet tall statue.
In front of the statue, many animals could be seen sitting, as if they were respectfully praying to the statue.
The statue had no face, as if someone intentionally left that part blank. That blank face made the statue look incomplete.
Lucifer couldn\'t help but feel a sense of mystery and intrigue emanating from the statue. It was a strange feeling. It was his first
time seeing a statue that made him feel such intense hate for some reason.
