Chapter 570 - The Oriole Behind (Part 1)

A the first universes to become aware of what lay beyond its confines, as well as of the nature of existence, there was a particularly old one A universe that was referred to as 'the Bastion' This universe, one of its kind in many ways, was considered as one of the very few true seats of poithin the multiverse, as in it, resided the domain of Fate, and all of its cha of time, this universe had remained sealed, with the number of entities allowed to travel in and out of it a to no more than a hundred people every thousand years Within this universe, the champions of Fate, who referred to each other as 'seers,' cultivated in peace while enjoying the privilege of unliht to them by subject domains

At the very core of this universe, deep into space, was a s built on its surface Simple in its construction due to how ancient it was, the building only consisted of a single room, and in it, were a round table and twenty seats, allpoint for the leaders of Fate's domain, this roo the ih space, that neither the s had any purpose at all

At thethis island stood guard tens of thousands of white-robed cultivators, while inside the room, no seat was left empty

” This is not a simple matter! We can't expect to find the needle while the haystack is on fire!”

”You are an old fool! That is our point! We need to stop the fire fro first!”

”What did you call me?! I dare you to repeat that!”

”Calm! Be calm!!”

Within the room that for the past hundred thousand years only had silence to offer, white-robed cultivators argued with one another As their tone becaly an to carry threats of physical violence, which both sides appeared to be willing to indulge in If any outsider had seen this spectacle, they would believe these ancient and powerful entities to be a bunch of drunkards, fighting over an unfairly split bill that nobody wanted to pay for

Aed to maintain their calm Two people who did not appear to have as much interest in the topic at hand, as their mind was otherwise preoccupied Had Daniel seen these two individuals, he would have inized theed as the aspect of Karma

”Lord Baal, I need your support on this, make these fools' words make sense!” Said a bald old man with a fluffy white beard which floated in the air to ered state of mind, to the husband

Before the man could speak, however, a second individual with a sily never ending white hair, retorted, ”You wouldn't understand sense even if it s insults, the long-hairedat the wife, added, ”Lady Rhea, have a go at it, as I feel I can't discuss any longer with this rabble of idiots”

Once the two cultivators brought the couple into the arguht the opinion and words of these two people carried within the domain of Fate

Forced to join in, the first one to speak was the old lady, who turned towards her husband, and said, ”I agree with the in has been caused by the spawn of Destiny We need to eradicate them as soon as possible Only then will the other domains fall back in line, and order will be restored”

The husband, aware that he wasn't part of 'them', responded with a calm tone, ”I understand your point However, I can't deny the reality The cha it will take us to eradicate them all, there is no certainty We cannot afford to let the unrest continue growing, we need to enforce order”

Clearly in disagreement, the woman shook her head ”We need not fear the other dorowth is no threat to us But we have to stop those row too powerful” Responded the woly unconvinced, the husband stroked his beard in silence for a few moments, then added, ”I am afraid the past thousand years of failed attempts have chipped away at too much of my hopes The efforts of the few domains that have stayed loyal to the hierarchy, have only allowed us to capture a handful of thes would be different if we united the entirety of the ain”

The discussion, albeit not as animatedly, continued from the mouths of one spouse to the other for what felt like ht What caused its sudden interruption was the figure of an additional chaed into the roo and for the attention of the champions present to be directed at her, said, ”I have ih seers”

Appreciative of thewoman's, asked, ”Speak then What is the matter?”

Clearly terrified, the wo voice said, ”It is about your son His fate is Gone”
