Chapter 890 Something
Maybe in the history of the Celestial Hamster, this was the first time they had heard such a thing. No… That was wrong, according to the information the Celestial Hamster had, this very scenario had occurred 11 other times. And in each instant, they all died premature deaths.
One might not understand what it meant to have the legacy of knowledge the celestial hamsters wielded… But, it quite simply meant that they were a library that far exceeded even the Timeless Library.
Despite the Timeless Library being a scam that led to the death of the Demon Sage's Kingdom, within it, there still lied a host of information only available to transcendents. If those who created this library hadn't gone out of their way to make it real, how could they have tricked such high-level characters for so long?
However, such a repository of information was actually looked down upon by the celestial hamsters.
Starting from the very first celestial hamster, information was passed down through their bloodline. As a race that existed from the beginning of time, one can imagine just the level and quality of information they had accumulated to this point.
Even further, as a pair of Prince and Princess, the bloodline the possessed once coursed through the veins of the most famous and accomplished Celestial Hamsters to ever live.
Maybe if this was the limit of their knowledge, it would be acceptable. But, even when it came to things they didn't know or understand, it was possible for them to use their bloodline abilities to come to understand them at a depth that was only comparable to a peak-most expert.
To explain, the Second Trial of the God Trials was created using a particular path of Time Will that was known as the historical path. Of course, this was already mentioned in passing, but its importance was never clearer or more relevant than now.
What did it mean to follow the historical path? It meant, that depending on your level of proficiency, it was possible to learn about the past of an object simply by observing it.
Imagine finding an artifact you had no prior knowledge of. If you followed this particular path, or mastered this path, it wasn't necessary for you to guess or speculate as to its uses. One could directly learn about an object from the object itself!
While Celestial Deer were masters of celestial will, Celestial Hamsters were the masters of time will!
Not only was this a large reason for their vast knowledge stores, and also attested to the accuracy of this knowledge, it was also the reason why their concealment abilities were so heaven defying.
The requirements for an object, person or thing to exist would be its placement and movement along a time line. What validated one's existence was the cause and effect that revolved around them. However, what if it was possible for a race of beings to completely displace themselves from time, to exist outside of it.
Humans, and creatures in general, couldn't hope to wrap their minds around an instant where time didn't exist or flow. Even in explaining such a concept, it was necessary to use terms like "an instant" which is, by definition, impossible to separate from time.
When it comes to making up for things a person doesn't understand, the brain is excellent at filling in the gaps, although those fill-ins might not necessarily be correct. The brain often creates false memories, it often forgets traumatic experiences, and even when it comes to things as simple as sight, the blind spot located in everyone's eyes are often filled in with the incorrect images.
Now, imagine this same flaw infested brain, was tasked with comprehending and visualizing a being existing out of a time itself. Even if you were a transcendent, was it even remotely possible for you to understand such a concept?
When a celestial hamster matured, it would grasp the highest levels of time will, and become able to hide from even the peak-most existences in the cosmos. Even if one had a mastery of time will on the same level, if you weren't aware that there was an oddity you were meant to be paying attention for, how could you see through a technique of such a level?
To be capable of doing this, even directly after their birth, the level of the celestial hamster was completely unfathomable.
And yet, Dyon knew all of this, from beginning to end. He even read copious amounts of legends praising this race of beings without end, and chronicling the exploits of those they chose to serve. But, he still rejected them without batting an eye.
The white and black furred twins were silent for a long time. They large, glistening eyes trained on his face, as though they were trying to memorize something.
Dyon only continued to smile, silently petting them. He even began to converse with his wives again, listening to Clara berate him for being naked this entire time.
Sometime during the silence of the Celestial Hamsters, their eyes began to glow as though they had come to a certain understanding. They had only just been born, and despite their lofty attitudes, they weren't ready to run into such a complex and mind-numbing issue. Unfortunately, trillions of years of accumulated knowledge didn't provide them with the one thing they needed right now: Wisdom.
At some unknown time… They disappeared.
...
"Aren't you disappointed they disappeared?" Madeleine asked a while later. Honestly, she found it difficult to even remember exactly what she was referring to. For some reason, Clara and Dyon found this much easier.
In truth, this was because the mortal realm spent a lot of time theorizing about such impossible and mind-boggling things. For example, theoretical physicists from their world were constantly coming up with incredible explanations for the reasons and ways things occurred. Of course, these topics included vast concepts like time, light and gravity. Because of this, Clara and Dyon were more used to trying to wrap their minds around abstract concepts.
Dyon shook his head, "The only thing I'm disappointed about is the fact I can't exchange them for another treasure. It seems I've taken a loss."
Clara pouted, "They could have at least left a thank you. If it wasn't for you, who knows when they'd be able to hatch."
Dyon laughed, "For all we know, they're in this room right now."
When his three wives realized that Dyon could be right, they felt slightly uncomfortable. In truth, for all they knew, celestial hamster could be any and everywhere. They could be watching everything that occurred with absolute complacency.
Dyon didn't mind too much, but he also didn't say too much. According the words of the hamsters before, they had watched while he and Ri went at it. He didn't care, but he knew his wives would. If they became too apprehensive to have any more sex, wouldn't that be too depressing?
Plus, unlike other True Deity level beasts, Celestial Hamsters could never form a human body. So, their sexual drives were completely different from, say, a Dragon. They couldn't care less about Ri's body or his. That was why Little Yin, a name Dyon decided to give to the white furred hamster, didn't care about seeing Dyon naked, but blushed when Little Yang mentioned the particular action taking place. Even if she didn't care about their bodies, that didn't mean she was immune to the idea of sex entirely.
That said, a Dragon might be the only beast in existence will to copulate with any and everything. Bird, rodent, bug, arachnid, it didn't matter.
What Dyon found interesting was that Dragons should technically be ancient beasts as well. A few dozen millennia ago, only they and the phoenixes remained. Now that the phoenixes were extinct, only they remained. As such, didn't they need a lot of Primordial Energy to hatch too? How did they deal with that?
Dyon shook his head, he'd find out eventually. "I actually think it might be a better idea if you used the Demon Generals instead, Madeleine."
"Oh? Why is that?" Madeleine was a bit confused. She was actually looking forward to seeing Little Lyla and Zaire.
"I'm not actually sure what Little Zaire and Little Lyla are up to, if they were up to something of importance, it would be a shame to interrupt them if they were.
"Also, I'm heading to the Drago-Qilin quadrant eventually… The Crystal Dragon Clan has something I need."
