Damien and the Ancient Sovereign walked through a single second.
And they conversed.
Their conversation didn't have a true direction, just like their steps, but every word held profound meaning.
About the universe, about truth, about life, and about purpose.
The Ancient Sovereign was a man who stood above all these concepts. To him, they were all inconsequential.
So the perspective he offered was one that couldn't be found anywhere else.
There wasn't a single entity like him.
He was a being born before the universe was created, albeit just slightly. If one looked at the entirety of existence, including the Heavenly World Damien had never seen, one would never find another being like him.
Damien understood that intuitively. That's why he wanted to meet this man badly enough to spend a year traveling to speak with him.
And the gains he made were real.
As had been mentioned several times, it was all inconsequential.
