Chapter 996 Frustration
Astounded by what he had just heard, Jason couldn't help but stare at the Queen for a few seconds.
'Multiple merged universes…it happened because of Shima's birth…overlapping dimensions… What the hell?!'
He knew that he was not greatly informed in terms of the universe's history.
But even then, Jason was not able to understand the information she bombarded upon him.
Trying to comprehend what was going on, he began to theorize a few possibilities.
However, even then, the truth was still hidden, irking Jason, who was at a loss.
'Looks like I really need to improve my history knowledge…'
Accepting that he had lots of things to learn despite having given his best to improve his wisdom during the last few decades, Jason simply smiled wryly.
It was great that there were many things he didn't know about, and it gave him something to look forward to.
After all, it would be boring to know everything while only being a century old.
Others required thousands of years to cultivate and reach his stage, but his cultivation progress had never been a problem.
Rather, there were too many things Jason had yet to know, to understand the complexity of specific topics, and to further improve.
Time was what he had the least, yet also the most at the same time.
He had too little time to become powerful to face the Primordials, but a lot more to assimilate knowledge and learn more.
Once all problems and tasks at hand would be solved, Jason wanted to research the secrets and mysteries of the Universe.
And from the looks of it, there was not only one universe but multiple, maybe even countless as per the Queen.
The Universe itself was already vast, but to have multiple ones connected to each other was shocking, to put it simply.
At this moment, he got an idea that caused his expression to worsen, as confusion was visible in his eyes.
"In that case, is the Veil one of the Universes you just talked about? One of the merged Universes that revolve around Shima?"
Jason was not yet sure if he had understood the things about the merged Universes, and all of them revolving around Shima, correctly.
But he presumed to have a grasp of the situation…or at least the slightest bit of it that might lead to a bigger understanding.
Yet, when he saw that the Queen hesitated for a moment before shaking her head, Jason was not sure of that anymore.
"Oh no, the Veil is different….Ahem…how to put it…"
Tilting her head, while rubbing her chin thoughtfully, the Queen tried to figure out a way to explain what exactly the Veil was.
However, this was quite difficult because Lilya was not really informed about the existence of the Veil either.
Her knowledge of it was shallow, and even if she wanted to, there was not much she had been able to find out about the Veil.
Information of the Veil was scarce, and only a handful knew about it!
As such, she decided to say what she knew, while leaving the remaining things blank.
"You could say that it is a completely different Universe than the merged Universe, but with certain similarities.
For example, a few races that exist in the Veil also exist in our complex of merged Universes.
It is like an evil twin of the universe we are living in... No that's wrong too…"
Taking a deep breath, she grew frustrated while thinking about a suitable answer before she just blurted out.
"To be precise I have no idea what exactly the Veil is…
Maybe only Primordials know what the Veil is, but what I can tell for sure is that the existences behind the Veil are bad….I just know that they want to destroy our homes and devour our universes…
But to be honest, the Sacred Elvyr are too insignificant to be informed about the news pertaining to the Veil, so we just know the publicly known facts!"
It hurt her pride to expose that her race was too weak and unimportant to even receive the slightest information about the Veil.
After all, these were just pieces of information.
Yet, her entire race, the race she had built up with all her might, was not worthy to get that little information.
Because of the Queen's evident anger about her lack of knowledge of the Veil, Jason figured that Lilya was the wrong person to inquire more about the Veil.
However, the fact that the Veil was something bad and ominous, and a place evil beings emerged from caused him to understand that he had to be careful of it.
There were often things that were labeled as bad backed by a reason for being considered so.
In terms of reasoning and behavior, there existed no black and white.
Some beings believed that they were doing something good, but in reality, their actions harmed numerous existences.
What was a good deed for someone was bad for another which was why everybody could be considered to have behaved like a bad person at some point in time.
Even Jason knew that he was not a good person.
He had killed numerous beasts, and also Cultivators of multiple races.
These Cultivators were likely to have a family, beloved ones, and he just took away their lives, causing their loved ones great grief and insufferable loss.
This caused Jason to shake his head, reminding himself that the Queen had just mentioned the rumors and little pieces of information to help him have a rough idea of the beings behind the Veil.
However, it was not as if he had failed to understand her.
The unknown was even more frightening than knowing that something was dangerous and scary.
As such, he simply smiled lightly with an understanding nod to the Queen, who required several minutes to calm down.
"By the way, you bound the dragon eggs, right? It looked like you took the Dragon corpses too. Just take what you need from them and give the rest to us…"
Switching to a different topic in a rather straightforward manner, the Queen's cheeks were still red after having forcibly calmed herself down as she inquired about him.
Jason had expected her to ask some questions about the True Dragon corpses, and even the Twin Dragon eggs were something he expected to hear about from her.
As such, there was no need for him to lie as he nodded his head.
"Yes, I bound them. After the dragon mother died, they nearly died but I somehow managed to save them."
Afterward, he thought about it for a moment before adding further,
"If possible, I would like to keep the Dragon mother's corpse. And if possible, I need both the Dragon heart and the dragon essence of the other two True Dragon corpses as well.
Other than that, I need nothing."
Jason was not sure if the Queen was willing to accept his request, and if she were to reject it, he would have no say against it.
However, asking for something or stating a request would either be answered with a yes, a no, or by stating a price.
But when the Queen heard his request, she just waved off her hand as if she was unbothered by it.
"Just take whatever you need. We cannot use the body parts of True Dragons for our cultivation, or to enhance our body with it either way.
The lesser divine energy in our body and our constitution repels it!"
