Chapter 32: Hints
Seeing that the White Tiger God is willing to hear Tatsuya's inquiries, the latter felt quite satisfied and relieved. It seemed that Tatsuya's efforts won't go into waste. He immediately retracted back the lightning energy into his body, as the lightning arc on his eyes vanished.
"Master, did you originate from Earth?"
"Hm. It seems that you came from that nonexistent planet."
"Nonexistent?"
"Well, that planet doesn't exist now because of some unknown reason."
Hearing the White Tiger God's statement made Tatsuya felt quite complicated for various reasons. It wasn't because of his pity for the people that died because of him. It was because of the fact that he wasn't able to control his emotions back then, resulting into the current situation.
But, Tatsuya knew that it wasn't wrong either. He lost control over his emotions because of his loss. This reason is more than enough for Tatsuya to completely burn the planet into ashes. Also, Tatsuya are already too aware that the humans from that planet had gone too far.
Basically, the few centuries that had passed gradually destroyed the planet from inside and out. Trees are basically almost nonexistent in that planet, because of human's greed. Humans have begun to focus on developing different methods for destruction.
"I see… So you came from that planet, huh."
"Hm?"
Tatsuya then suddenly heard the White Tiger God mutter in a low voice. It made him felt quite intrigued, as the fact that the White Tiger God's statement seemed to contain some hidden meaning. Tatsuya directly looked at the White Tiger God with his calm eyes.
"…"
Despite the inquiring eyes of Tatsuya, the White Tiger God only replied back with nothing but a smile on his face. Seeing that the latter wasn't willing to answer his inquiry about that statement, Tatsuya immediately gave up on that notion.
"Then Master, I'll get direct to the point."
"Mm…"
"Do you have any guess how I arrived into this universe?"
The White Tiger God's smile didn't faltered even a bit from that question, forcing Tatsuya to feel quite helpless. However, Tatsuya's instinct told him that the White Tiger God knew something about his current situation.
"Tatsuya, are you aware that you're currently walking into a path that hasn't ever seen before?"
"What do you mean, Master?"
Now that the White Tiger God had spoken, he managed to completely capture Tatsuya's interest with his short statement. His steady smile and calm eyes made Tatsuya feel quite comfortable, allowing the latter to trust the former even if it's little.
"Basically, every being has their own pre-destined path that cannot be changed that easily.
"…"
"Usually, it becomes a very difficult obstacle for people. It is a very limiting factor for everybody. However, there's a way to change that pre-destined path that you have been granted by the universe itself."
"And that is attaining control over your own will. That's what happened to you, Tatsuya. You are one of those special people that have an unpredictable destiny that even someone like me can't predict."
"Even if the real me stood before you, I wouldn't be able to determine your fate. I could only watch it slowly manifest itself from afar."
Tatsuya instantly felt a fog blocking his vision and senses from comprehending the White Tiger God's profound statement. He involuntarily heightened the focus on his body, as his body instantly entered the state of equilibrium. He had entered the state of enlightenment, and this made the White Tiger God quite speechless.
"I see. So you're saying that everything happens for a reason. There must a reason why I arrived into this universe, but I'm afraid that I'm still unaware of my purpose in this universe…"
"Mm. I have met a lot of talented individual in my life, but you really are vastly different from them. Although, I'm more powerful than you, I could still feel something heaven-defying hiding within your body."
(What is he talking about? There's nothing like that inside my body. But, if my guess is right, he must be talking about my current state.)
When Tatsuya gained the White Tiger God's blood, it allowed him to touch the door that Tatsuya has always wanted to touch. It was the door towards the Quintessential Realm whereas everything exists. This realm basically symbolizes the very core of existence.
Although, Tatsuya had already accessed that realm once, it was nothing but a lucky feat. It is also the sole reason why he was able to recover his life and his emotions. He knew that this realm encompasses everything, without any exception.
"Then, is there any way to go back into that universe, or more specifically, in that galaxy?"
When the White Tiger God stated his hint over Tatsuya's first question, it helped Tatsuya know that the White Tiger God could only give hints, and not answers. But, Tatsuya ignored that fact, and went ahead to ask the White Tiger God once again.
"I'm afraid that you're the only one who could answer that question…"
Before Tatsuya's question, the White Tiger God's smile didn't faltered at all. It is very steady to the point that anyone would think that his smile is not real. But, Tatsuya knew for a fact that this is the very reason why the White Tiger God is different from him and others.
Tatsuya's current state had already stepped inside the Supreme Territory. However, when he stepped into it, he found out that he's nothing but an orphan before this territory. The secrets and mysteries inside the territory are more than enough to completely consume Tatsuya's time.
He also knew that the White Tiger God is currently standing at the very pinnacle of the Supreme Territory. Tatsuya knew that although the White Tiger God before him is nothing but a soul fragment of the real one, this soul fragment is powerful enough to decapitate every living thing in this universe.
"Do you have any other questions, Tatsuya?"
"…"
The White Tiger God's body slightly glittered amidst the darkness that engulfed the whole inheritance realm. A bit of his body slowly separated itself and vanished into thin-air. It seemed that the White Tiger God is running out of time.
"What is your reason for leaving an inheritance in this place?"
Hearing that unexpected question, the White Tiger God's expression slightly faltered. Someone of his level shouldn't be this shaken at all, and this allowed Tatsuya to realize that the godly being before him is hiding something.
"I… I'm planting my seeds to see whether they could help me accomplish a goal."
Although, the White Tiger God's expression had already gone back to normal, Tatsuya could sense sadness emanating from the former's body. Tatsuya waited for the White Tiger God to answer his question, without any thread of ripples on his expression.
"You… really are different. But, I'm afraid that I can't tell you about my reason now. However, I'm confident that you'll stand before me in the future."
Seeing that Tatsuya didn't even feel anything from the sudden fluctuation of his emotion, the White Tiger God felt quite helpless about Tatsuya's emotion. Still, it made the White Tiger God more confident about his decision of choosing Tatsuya over that person.
Tatsuya isn't the only talented one here, as the 2nd Elder from the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region is already a heaven-defying talent that almost caught the White Tiger God's eyes. However, if their talent were to be compared, the 2nd Elder's talent would be a drop of water while Tatsuya's would be the ocean itself.
"Looks like I'll soon vanish…"
The White Tiger God touched the glittering light around him, feeling very amazed from the spectacular view. Although, the glittering lights are basically the part of his soul fragment, he didn't felt anything from this.
He slowly turned his back away from Tatsuya, as the latter just watched the former do whatever he wants to do. Seeing that the White Tiger God will soon vanish, Tatsuya gripped both of his fists, as he courageously went forward.
"Master, is it possible to revive someone?"
Hearing that question, the White Tiger God's eyes slowly descended into Tatsuya's figure. There was still a smile on his face, and his calm eyes were still present. However, the White Tiger God could sense a trace of emotional fluctuation from Tatsuya.
"It's not possible…"
Hearing that statement, it made Tatsuya feel downcast, as he couldn't help but grip his fists. Although, he already knew that the White Tiger God would say such thing, he still can't help but be affected by that answer.
"If there's nothing anymore, then I'll bid my farewell, Tatsuya."
Tatsuya quickly suppressed his emotions, as he suddenly recalled the brief moment where he talked with his sister. He could feel happiness and acceptance flow into his very heart, as he felt calmness spreading throughout his awareness.
Now that he had become calm again, he slightly nodded his head towards the White Tiger God. This notion made the White Tiger God quite satisfied, as he could feel that Tatsuya is sincere of his farewell. After all, Tatsuya isn't really used into the hobbies of the cultivators.
*Swoosh*
The glittering lights around the White Tiger God suddenly intensified, as Tatsuya could sense the White Tiger God's soul fragment rapidly disappearing in existence.
*Mutter*
Suddenly, Tatsuya's eyes widened, as he saw the White Tiger God mutter something. However, he felt a very mysterious fog block his senses from comprehending the latter's words. Even though, he tried to analyze what the White Tiger God tried to convey, he couldn't do it.
Before he had even managed to try everything he could do, the White Tiger God's soul fragment had already disappeared from existence. This made Tatsuya quite confused, as he tried to think of a reason why the White Tiger God suddenly muttered something.
"Sigh, I guess in the end, reviving someone is impossible…"
Tatsuya said to himself, as he knew all too well, how impossible is it to revive someone. Even if he managed to access the Quintessence Realm, he's not confident at being able to take control over that realm. Thus, the chances to revive Miyuki are basically nonexistent.
"Miyuki already said it herself that she exists within my heart…"
Before Tatsuya had even managed to completely comprehend how to enter the Supreme Territory, the Miyuki that his heart created based on the Miyuki that once existed, told Tatsuya of her acceptance over her own death. Although, it sounded too painfully for Tatsuya to hear, it made him feel relieved.
(When the time comes, it wouldn't hurt to try…)
Tatsuya slowly said to himself, as he looked forward to the time whereas he would be able to access the Quintessential Realm. Even though, the White Tiger God had already deemed such act impossible, Tatsuya still believed in himself that despite being impossible, there's a way that could bypass the impossibility.
(As for now, I'll just go back into the room…)
He suddenly cut off his thought, as his face formed a disguise once again. His crimson blood eyes shone brightly, as he stared at the distorting space around him.
He recalled Miyuki's smiling face, as he knew that reviving her isn't really the best way to approach things. After all, people are usually obsessed over someone's revival because of their current emotion.
Although, Tatsuya isn't the person to believe in fate, he knew that if its really destined for him and Miyuki to be reunited again. It would happen even if the cosmos itself disintegrated into nothingness.
Coming back into his senses, Tatsuya's calm eyes looked at the surroundings. Then without even further ado, he immediately entered the realm of nothingness, as the very trace of his existence vanished…
