BXBX NOVEL Chapter 125 124: Conquerors
"So I guess I'll start from the history between Paragons and Supremes, why we are fighting and so on."
With a slightly solemn expression, the Paragon Ancestor spoke as he sat on the grass-like ground in a cross-legged seating position.
Corey who was sitting in front of him, waited to hear information which most would definitely not know or would be dying to know.
Though, Corey was not sure if the information would be a 100% true but any information was better no information at all.
"The Supremes are what I call Conquerors.
They like to conquer places.
Their Ancestor, the bastard that calls himself the All-Father, is a multiverse conqueror.
He has conquered and is still conquering so many universes, and whenever he conquers a universe, he becomes more powerful, though it's not by a huge amount."
"Wait… Please wait."
As the Paragon Ancestor was speaking, Corey interrupted as he placed both his arms in a stopping sign.
The Paragon Ancestor raised an eyebrow, his expression asking the reason for Corey's interruption, and Corey who had furrowed brows and a deep thoughtful expression, spoke after a few seconds passed.
"You said that the All-Father has conquered so many universes and is still conquering many Universes right?"
Corey spoke in a questioning tone and the Paragon Ancestor nodded slightly.
Corey took a slightly long pause, then he spoke:
"The universe I'm currently in… Has it been conquered by the All-Father?"
As soon as Corey asked that question, a slightly surprised expression appeared on the Paragon Ancestor's face and with raised brows, he replied:
"Yes, you're right.
And from your tone, I can guess that you already knew or guessed that that was the case.
Though, I'm curious as to how you knew the answer to that question."
The Paragon Ancestor asked and a light of remembrance appeared in Corey's eyes.
"When the apocalypse started, the Universal System said: 'The Universal System Welcomes The All-Father'.
Not only that, there's an image of the All-Father on the Evolution Center.
There are more but this are the main ones that made me to realize that the Universe I'm living in, is being controlled by the All-Father."
With a calm tone and expression, Corey explained and the Paragon Ancestor nodded after he finished speaking.
"Just like I said before, your Universe has been conquered by the All-Father and he was the one that created the Universal System to control your Universe.
The reason why the young Paragon that you met said you should not keep your treasures in your inventory, but instead you should keep them in your spatial ring, is because the inventory of the Universal System is actually one of the treasuries of the Supreme.
Assuming you kept my blood essence and the poison infinity crystal in your inventory, you will definitely not find them again and you would most likely face problems in the future."
"What?"
Corey exclaimed with a surprised expression since he never expected such a reason as to why the old man repeatedly told him to not keep his treasures in his inventory.
Despite Corey's shock and surprised state, the Paragon Ancestor did not care and continued speaking:
"Although the Universal System was created by the All-Father, let's just say that, right now, a few things are not going the way the All-Father wants them to."
"What do you mean?"
Corey asked with a confused expression but the Paragon Ancestor just waved his hand softly as he spoke:
"Don't worry about that. Even if I tell you, you won't understand… yet."
"Anyway, as I was saying.
The reason why I'm at odds with the All-Father is because when the bastard wanted to conquer my universe, he attacked the Paragon Realm, my home in my universe and that's something I can never forgive."
With a cold tone and expression, the Paragon Ancestor spoke, subconsciously releasing a little bit of his killing intent but a second later, it receded and the Paragon Ancestor released a soft sigh.
"Anyway, the reason the All-Father doesn't like me is because he couldn't defeat me and conquer my universe, even till this day.
Not only that, my race is the only race that can combat the Supremes and defeat them, and that hurt the pride of the Supremes.
So currently, I can't defeat the bastard and the bastard also can't defeat me. We're currently at a stalemate, though there are little battles here and there between my race and the bastard's race."
With a slightly deep gaze in his eyes, the Paragon Ancestor spoke as he looked at Corey.
The three triangles in his eyes rotated once as he looked at Corey, though Corey didn't notice it.
Meanwhile Corey had a pondering expression for a few seconds after hearing the words of the Paragon Ancestor. A few seconds passed, then he spoke:
"What makes Paragons and Supremes so special?
I have seen some of your skills and the abilities of the second and third generation Paragons, but what makes the Paragons and Supremes to stand out as one of the top two races?"
The Paragon Ancestor placed his right hand on his chin and stroked it softly for a few seconds before he spoke:
"Paragons… Don't have a special ability that would make them the strongest from birth.
If a Paragon doesn't work hard, he or she would never go far."
The Paragon Ancestor paused and his brows furrowed slightly as he scratched his head with a slightly frustrated expression for a few seconds before he continued speaking:
"My main problem is that you don't know a lot of things so explaining the powers of a Paragon might, sorry, would definitely make you confused.
When I created myself to be a Paragon, I added a lot of things to my body, but the main ability that's actually feared and hated by the Supremes is our extremely high resistance to the elements."
"Elements?"
Corey asked and the Paragon Ancestor released a soft sigh.
'Why couldn't this kid be born in a cultivation world.'
The Paragon Ancestor released another internal sigh before he looked at Corey once again.
'Well, I was also like him when I was young. A spatial crack pulled me and teleported me to a world of cultivation.'
