Chapter 463
On a bank of a crystal clear lake, on the soft green grass, Keith lay with his eyes staring at the beautiful cloudy sky, listening to the thunder and watching the flashes of lightning that constantly streamed everywhere.
By his side, lay his bride-to-be, whom he had dragged here with him an hour before their supper, and she was mesmerised by the lightning show as well, having not spoken a word in a while.
"Keith."
"Yes?" He gently asked, and a subconscious smile crept on Rouxi's lips.
"Does the time inside this world not affect our ageing process?" She curiously asked.
"Yes, and no." He smiled. "It takes six months inside Aerzar for your Aura and Mana to assimilate to the Time of this world. So, for, at least, four months or 120 days, you would grow at the rate of the world you are coming from, and then you will slowly start ageing faster until you have fully assimilated with the Time Flow here."
"Oh, is that why you don't stay inside this world for longer than a Gaian Fortnight?" She surprisedly looked at him.
"Yes." He nodded. "If we stay inside this world for 14 days and return to Gaia, take a break for a day and a half there, and return here, the assimilation process will start all over again."
"And if we stay here for a year and then return to Gaia, how long will it take us to assimilate to Gaia's Time Flow?"
"36 and a half days." He answered and then continued. "The Time Flow inside Aerzaar and in the outside world will remain different until we reach Heaven."
"The Heaven?"
"Yes." He smiled before he turned to meet her curious eyes.
"Tell me about the Heaven," She asked, visibly quite excited.
"In the Heaven, there are no Planets, but Stars, capable of producing their own light, and each World has 18 Moons, all of which are habitable. There are Five Suns in Heaven, and each Sun has its own Star System with Thousands of World Stars orbiting it in seemingly irrational paths and yet never colliding or even coming too close to each other..."
"...And the Suns are not there to provide light but to serve as a source of Aura and Mana, which all the habitable worlds feed on. When a world has fed on enough Aura and Mana, it starts producing Light, and the daytime starts. When it decides to replenish its Reserves, it stops producing Light and nighttime arrives. There's no specified time for how long the day and the night are going to last. And some World Stars have very distinct climates and even specific seasons. For example, there are World Stars that are completely covered in Ice, and on some World Stars there's forever Autumn..."
Keith kept telling her about how different Heaven was from the Star Systems that she knew about, and Rouxi absorbed all the information like a sponge and looked forward to learning more.
"How do they measure the days?" She asked.
"By the Rotation of the World Star on its Axis. Once the World Star has completed the Rotation, regardless of whether it is daytime or nighttime, it counts as a day. The year is called a Star Year, which is determined by the time that the Sun takes to complete a rotation on its Axis. The time of the Year is uniform throughout the Heaven Realm, exactly 666 Days. And the same goes for the time of the day. Regardless of how big the World Star is, a day is exactly 72 hours long. There are no Months or Weeks, but there are Kaems, exactly 18, consisting of 37 days each, and each Kaem is the time it takes for the 18 Moons to complete a revolution around the World Star. Just like the Sun, the Moons are visible during both daytime and nighttime, but during night, they shine. The 37th day of each Kaem is very special as the Aura of the world is purer and denser than normal, and if the 37th day happens to coincidence with a special alignment of the Moons, the Sun, and some close by World Stars and their Moons, the Cultivators get a glimpse of what awaits them if they manage to Transcend the Heavens..."
Rouxi excitedly listened to everything he told her about, quite shocked, surprised, and curious about the mysteries, and she could tell that it was a subject Keith was very knowledgeable about and took great interest in.
"Why are they called the Eastern, Western, Northern, Southern, and Central Heavens?"
"That's because each of the Five Heavens falls under the Jurisdiction of their respective Regions in the Immortal World." He smiled. "It has a name, but I won't tell you that. However, it is the World where only Immortals and Gods can live."
"Is it more beautiful than the Heaven?" She asked and smiled when she heard him chuckle at her question.
"It's a special place." He nodded and then turned to meet her icy-blue eyes. "We will rule it one day."
"You wish to rule over everything?" She smiled.
"Yes. And I will leave all the work to you ladies." Keith playfully said, and Rouxi could not help her giggles.
"It's the same reason why Rebecca has Void with her." He said, and let her run her brains to make the connection.
"She told me that Void was a gift from Nyx. And the Lady of the Night gave it to her because the real Hecate was dear to her. It was a present for Hecate's True Inheritor." She frowned, and her brows furrowed deeper as she saw the smile on his lips. "I am a True Inheritor?"
"Yes," He nodded and watched her eyes widen in shock.
Rouxi blankly stared at him for a good minute, and her heart was thumping hard against her chest now.
"Whose Inheritor am I?" She took a deep breath and asked.
"Nuwa."
"The Goddess of Marriage and Fertility?"
"And the Goddess of Nature, Earth, Ocean, and Order" He smiled. "Nuwa was considered one of the Strongest Goddesses to have ever existed."
Rouxi kept looking into his eyes, but her hands were now subconsciously clutching his shirt.
"And who gave Eira to me?"
"Nyx."
"Why?" She frowned. "Do I not belong to the Tian Pantheon?"
"You do. It just so happens that the Tian Pantheon belongs to her as well. She's one of its founders. And she goes by the name Wuji."
"Wuji?"
"The Goddess of Infinity." He nodded. "She has a lot of other names too. And she is the creator of several more Pantheons."
"Which ones?"
"You can ask her yourself when you finally meet her." He smiled.
"She's coming..." Rouxi was about to ask her next question when she saw a very beautiful and strange golden Rune light up on the back of Keith's left hand.
"Let's go. Kiara is calling us." He told her, and as they got up on their feet, she still kept her eyes on the Rune that was disappearing into his skin.
"What's that?"
"The Scared Rune of Wedding." He whispered near her ear before he teleported out of Aerzar, and back inside his room, where little Miss Demiliore was waiting for them.
"Qin Feng was in the City Center, and he was attacked," She informed them, and Rouxi's eyes went wide as she knew City Center was where Wei Jia had taken Feifei and Baobao.
"Fei..."
"She's fine. But Qin Feng tried to steal her necklace." Kiara grimly said, and Keith lightly smiled when he heard those words.
"That's interesting."
