Chapter 455 - Talk with Roan (2/2)
Roan… was silent after these words. His people had been abandoned by the All-Father who sought out a way to settle the fights between the Primordial Races.
Wang Ling just smiled and let him ramble on and on. The meeting lasted for more than three hours; Wang Ling collected information upon information about the grand scale of things transforming his meager library of information into a massive database he used in sorting out the situation.
He also learned about the GodKing and the Five Devil Generals. However, even after asking and collecting data, Wang Ling failed to gather one last thing, ”How many pairs of wings do you have?”
”That is a question I cannot answer.” Such was the answer he was given, ”I have taken an Oath that outside our Realm, I cannot speak of the pair of wings. My soul would be rendered and I would suffer by having my lineage stripped off my body. But if the All-Father wants me to do it, I shall not hesitate to—”
”Yeah, that is enough, you do not have to continue.” Wang Ling couldn't have Roan dying on him. This Devil was an added protection for him and the—
”I also cannot attack any that is below Rank-9 of Cultivation.”
Wang Ling looked at Roan with weirded-out eyes, ”…seriously?”
”Yes, it was an oath that every Devik must take for them to leave the Realm and ensure they do not damage the Universe's balance. Like any of the Primordial Race we exist beyond understanding, our Race had existed for Eons, cultivation ranking is but a passing idea to us, and we could have taken over the entire Cosmos if any of the Primordial Race wanted to, however, we had not.
”The Primordial Races lost our parents because of constant wars. After that we have learned to control our l.u.s.t to dominate…” from how Roan looked right now, this matter was more embarrassing than the other things combined, ”…in hopes of you, returning to us.”
The Devils were children of the All-Father. When he left, they were lost and had to find their own paths, but despite that, their existence still revolved around the d.e.s.i.r.e to reunite with him.
Angel hugged Wang Ling's head, she did not want to be alone again, ”When are you going to free the other?” Angel asked remembering the Incarnation of the Hell Qi was also locked within Wang Ling.
'Soon, do not worry.' He said as he tapped the child's head.
Wang Ling stood up and thanked Roan. He walked towards the door and then was just about to exit when, all of a sudden, he stopped, saying, ”…I am not the old All-Father you knew, you know. I am but his second coming, his reincarnation.”
Roan smiled at Wang Ling's words, ”That is all right. The All-Father's mere presence is enough of solace for me and so for the others.”
Wang Ling left with his words leaving Roan to himself. Roan looked at Wang Ling, he held a very soft smile, [He is different in both nature and temperament, yet, the kindness he has to his own people had not changed since I last saw the All-Father with my own eyes.]
He smiled remembering the time when the All-Father created him with his own hands.
A time when the Universe was still at peace, [I hoped everything could have remained the same. I hope that the Oldest Brother did not betray us and the All-Father.]
