Chapter 1436 Seeing Through Theo
The Heavenly Sovereign and Zhao Jia were going to the meeting by car. Inside, she asked, "Do you know what one year means?"
The Heavenly Sovereign grinned. "If you call me Master, I'm going to answer you."
"Can you stop joking?" Zhao Jia gritted her teeth but knowing the importance of this matter, Zhao Jia let this hatred go for now. "Master… Please."
The Heavenly Sovereign smiled when watching her embarrassed expression. His expression turned serious soon and he snapped his finger, isolating this place so that no one could listen to their conversation.
"Ordovician-Silurian Extinction, 440 million years ago. Devonian Extinction, 365 million years ago. Permian-Triassic Extinction, 250 million years ago. Triassic-Jurassic Extinction 210 million years ago. Lastly, Cretaceous-Tertiary Extinction 65 million years ago."
"Mhm?" Zhao Jia tilted her head in confusion. "What are you talking about?"
"The five extinction level events in the past." The Heavenly Sovereign smirked.
"Huh? I don't understand."
"Well, what do you think about the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs?"
"Hmm? Is there something wrong with it? Wasn't it just a natural disaster?"
"Indeed. It's similar to a natural disaster. Science can explain it in one way or another through proof… But then again, how about the mythologies all around the world? In one place, we had a snake that was so long that it could loop around the world. In another place, we had a guy that destroyed nine suns but spared the last one. In another place, we have someone who could create the whole world itself. What do you think about them?"
"They're mythologies. At the same time, they're real and we acknowledge them after we start receiving a blessing from them." Zhao Jia answered.
"If they are real, then how in the world did they die? If they can create a world, why can't they end their own extinction?"
Zhao Jia was confused because the Heavenly Sovereign kept throwing some random questions about extinction.
"In one myth, we had this guy who started the end of the world. In another myth, we had a corrupted and polluted world. In the end, those, who were so powerful and glorified, died… Only their stories remained to this date.
"Just like our country, we have this government who will continue to strive even if the leader changes. In the past, kingdoms will continue as long as the royal bloodline is still alive. So, the past people who we referred to as Gods should be the same, right? Then, why did they die as if their era needed to end?"
Zhao Jia narrowed her eyes. "Are you assuming our era will end too?"
"Yeah. Do you remember about the sudden phenomenon that took millions of lives in Argelia?"
"Yes, I still remember it. I took part in the relief mission too." Zhao Jia nodded before noticing what he wanted to say. "Do you mean it's a sign that our era is going to end?"
"Bingo!" The Heavenly Sovereign. "And if it truly comes, no one will be able to stop it. This is the reason why I team up with Theo instead of the Griffith Family. He has that kind of clue."
"The clue of the end of an era?" Zhao Jia sucked a cold breath.
"Yeah. According to what he said, it seems he has more information than me. As an Authority Level Figure, I have understood and seen many things, yet a 23 years old guy told me that he knows more than me. Don't you think it's weird?"
Zhao Jia clenched her fists. She truly never asked this question. Why could Theo rise so fast? Was it truly only his talent? Was there someone who actually guided him so that he could be this fast?
Many questions appeared in her mind as Theo abruptly became shrouded in mystery.
"Wait a minute. I don't think there are many people who know about the extinction, so it's impossible to learn such a thing. Even you paid some of your life span to see it… Then, there's only one possibility…"
The Heavenly Sovereign smirked. "Exactly my point."
"Blessing!" Zhao Jia finally understood Theo's real strength. It turned out the one who was behind his progress was the one who gave him the blessing. "Still, who is the one behind him? He has illusion power, extraordinary fighting ability, and even something that can incite death… His ability is too random."
"Even I couldn't find his blessing if I saw it that way. But think of it the other way. Who do you think knows the most about the end of an era?"
"Who?" Zhao Jia tilted her head. Even after thinking for a moment, she couldn't find any name.
"Of course, the one who knows the most is the one who had once ended an era."
"Ah!" Zhao Jia trembled. "Do you mean…"
"Yeah. He had a son who was good at fighting, another son who was a snake, and a daughter that knew about death. But more importantly, he had knowledge about the end since he brought it himself… There is only one person who I believe to be the one giving him his blessing. The God of Mischief, Loki Laufeyson." The Heavenly Sovereign smirked.
This was why no one could predict the mind of the Heavenly Sovereign. His point of view was simply too far different. If he had thought like Zhao Jia or any other people, he wouldn't have come to this conclusion.
The Heavenly Sovereign stated one thing, "I don't fear the Griffith Family. I am more scared of the end itself. The fact that this God of Mischief has started making his move means he's planning to turn Theo to bring the end itself like what he did in the past.
"Yeah. It's like what you think. One year! That one year is the time Theo is planning to use to bring the end itself. Theo has suspected his original self to be the end itself. So, he is going to use him to bring a premature end.
"Without enough preparation, the premature end won't be able to wipe out the entire population. In other words, Theo is planning to use that end to avoid our true end. This is why I partner up with Theodore Griffith.
"Zhao Jia! This is one piece of advice for you! One year! Prepare everything you can to withstand this disaster so that we can save as many people as possible. Understood?"
