"No one knows he hasn't told anyone not even Kalatis the dragon god, after your father he is the eldest god and your fathers' closest confidant.", Samsara laughed inwardly as he noticed her inner turmoil even her facial muscles twisted as she spoke Kalatis's name.
The lowering of one's self-esteem was already taking effect on her, while the curse would not affect those around her while outside the void, it would still have a mild effect on her, just speaking the dragon god's name and Samsara could sense a feeling of inferiority, he didn't point it out to her, he already helped her by giving her the hint, the rest would be up to her.
He turned his attention to the void tears there were tens of thousands of them, by the measure of an entire universe the space those tears occupied could be considered inconsequential but the truth was that those tears were making the plain unstable, which worried him greatly especially since one of his strings were tugging greatly on the tears, he knew that he would be involved in them from the moment he heard of them but now he was certain that something important was going to happen to him due to the tears if it was good or bad he had no idea.
When he turned back to Anuka he saw her fixed on the seventh panel that depicted the god realm looking at it in disbelief, "What's wrong?" he asked dreading the answer that could make a god afraid.
She didn't answer and pointed to the god realm, in it there were 18 red specks, "We just left the god realm, and just before we did the first tear opened how could so many have opened up!?" her question was rhetorical but Samsara had an answer.
"I have two theories but it's probably both," she looked at him with tight fists hoping for an explanation that made sense, "We entered that unstable portal and it's very possible that we interacted with time laws and if that's the case we might have been slingshot many years into the future."
Anuka looked at him wide-eyed, "Even so it would take almost a billion years for so many tears to appear in the god realm, then the million-year prophecy is over.", she spoke with worry in her voice.
At that moment one of the fate strings on Samsara's hand snapped, "200 thousand years," he murmured.
"No that's too short, the stability of the god realm would have had to have fallen drastically for so many tears to appear, even we gods aren't capable of that."
"No gods aren't but the Heaven can." Said Samsara as he pulled out the two chaos binding chains, "Theory number 2," he spoke like a learned scholar, "These chaos binders came from the god realm, and with the 200-thousand-year lapse since we left, it would make sense."
"Well on the bright side the other gods would be too busy battling the plainer invaders to focus on all your companions, so I'll assume that they are fine for now."
"We need to go back, the war will be entering the middle stages now I can help them, even you can," said Anuka at a loss.
"It's true that we can return but as we are now, we'd only get in the way or did you forget the effects of that universal treasure once we re-enter the heaven, we will lose our cultivation, you'll most likely be at the lower end of the immortal realm and I'll be close to the top of the mortal realm, but honestly I'm going to destroy this cultivation of mine and start off from scratch anyway and so should you."
"NO! Absolutely not we only have nine hundred thousand years before the time is up, it takes a million years for a mortal to reach godhood and that for a genius even an unparalleled genius would take eight hundred thousand years to reach the god realm!" Shouted Anuka hysterically, "Even if we breakthrough, we won't be able to do anything in the later stages of the war as newborn gods, it is better if we return restore our cultivations and push ourselves to reach the peak of our strength."
"We have plenty of time a few thousand years and I can definitely become a god again."
Even Anuka as a god of pride felt embarrassed by his bragging such a thing was not possible, "Madman." she murmured not even caring that he could hear.
"Oh Lady Anuka, I'm definitely a madman," he spoke with a smirk on his face, ", but let me tell you a little something about all those so-called genius's that could shake the heavens, unlike all of them I have made entire universes freeze and set all of creation to burn, there is not a single genius that can enter my eyes because when compared to me all of creation is nothing in comparison, you say nine hundred thousand years is difficult I say it's easy it's so easy that in fact…" as he was about to finish his monologue that even he didn't understand why he was speaking with such arrogance, the fate strings on his hands all snapped and the words in his throat turned into a screech, like a dying cat.
"I take back what I just said, it's going to be very, very difficult for me," Anuka could almost see blood pouring from Samsara's eyes as he repeatedly muttered, ", my heart bleeds," on a loop.
"Change of plans," he muttered with a dejected look on his face, the fate strings were searching for a path so that he could survive the million-year prophecy and as it turned out it was anything but pleasant, naturally he was tied to the prophecy like strings that were tied to a bloody kite.
"It's going to be easy for you to reach godhood again Lady Anuka, remember you were a god so you don't have to have to waste a second on learning new arts, you just have to focus on perfecting your cultivation, and when we return if you use one of your revival embryo's you can restore your old cultivation level in a few centuries, as a former god it should be easy especially with these." He reluctantly pulled out three orbs each one the size of his palm and tossed them to Anuka but the look on his face made it seem like she had just robbed him.
When she caught the orbs, she almost lost her mind at their contents, she looked at them like they were unprecedented treasures but also like a time bomb.
The orbs held energy from each of the great sources Genesis, Cosmic and Celestial, for each one of these treasures' gods would fight savage battles across the god realm, and here she had all three and in a vast quantity, the largest she had ever seen was about the size of a finger, but her hands could barely wrap around these orbs.
No wonder he looked at her like she had entered his grave and stole his bones and used them for a potion.
After that, eight new objects appeared, "Are those essence revival embryos?" she asked with surprise, she only had six of those in the god realm, but these embryos were all different from the usual.
It was like a bunch of black and white energy twisting and turning constantly with an azure blue light spinning inside releasing a pulse similar to an essence revival embryo.
"Essence revival embryo," Samsara muttered with a wronged expression, Anuka couldn't help but admire how cute the pouting Samsara looked, but his next words almost made a god feint, "I wish this was something as common as that."
Anuka wanted to scream, in what world are essence revival embryos common, gods could only form one upon entering godhood and another two when breaking into the second god rank, and the odds of successfully creating one was extremely low, and even gods considered it a long time to create it artificially.
"It is basically the same thing the only difference is that it has been given an ethereal form that allows it to become soul tethered," Samara explained while watching the ethereal embryo, it looked like a thick liquid constantly changing shape due to high-frequency sound waves hitting it.
That's when something clicked inside Anuka's head she had been wondering where this grey world came from and seeing these new objects, it made no sense, Adolin didn't give him any items, and yet he was pulling out treasure after treasure.
Finally, Samsara mentioned something she didn't expect him to a soul tether, and for once it was something she knew off.
A soul tether would ensure that a god would be able to keep their equipment even if they get killed when they revive the equipment would reside in a special place close to the soul, experiments were done on mortals and immortals to see if they could carry the objects on to their next lives after reincarnating, but every experiment ended in failure.
The soul tether would break, and the object would remain behind after countless attempts the gods either gave up or put it on a hold until they received some inspiration.
"If you make something ethereal it can pass through reincarnation.", Anuka surmised.
"A good deduction but there is a limit to how much you can bring through even for me."
"But how?" asked Anuka for the first time she learned of something that piqued her interest to the highest degree.
"Ethereal laws," said Samsara, ", those laws are all the way up there with Genesis, Celestial, Cosmic and Fate laws it's interwoven with the Void/Chaos as well so even I'm not great at it."
Anuka felt like reality was imploding on her she had no idea that such laws existed except for fate laws, Genesis, Celestial and Cosmic weren't they just energy sources.
