YM778.TV Chapter 460 Lady Astaria, L Hope You Answer My Question Honestly.
"Initially, yes. That is what Teacher wanted."
Nux nodded and hearing his answer, Astaria frowned,
"Initially?"
"Yes, initially, however, when I learned about it, I rejected the Idea."
Again, Nux was honest.
"Why would you reject that?"
Astaria frowned.
"You become the Strongest Being in the Kingdom, a being who has control over everything, a being who can order around anyone, even the King. You can just stay in your room and do whatever you want, literally no one can say anything to you.
Why would you reject something like that? You gain absolute power."
Hearing her words, Nux couldn\'t help but chuckle,
"Absolute power my foot. Staying in a single room for the rest of my life, isn\'t that comparable to being a prisoner? You get to order around people? What are you talking about? You rarely even meet people.
Tell me, when was the last time you left your room before this?"
Nux questioned.
"…"
Astaria turned silent.
"See? This Absolute Power is just a prison. I will rather stay as an independent Emperor Stage Cultivator, go wherever I want, live wherever I want, and do whatever I want." Nux spoke with a big smile on his face.
"And who said you can\'t do it as the Protector of this Kingdom?"
Astaria questioned.
"Hmm?" Nux frowned.
"Do you really think anyone in this Kingdom has the power to imprison me? Do you really think that I would stay in that room if I don\'t want to?" Astaria smiled.
Nux narrowed his eyes,
"Then why do you stay in that room? Isn\'t it… lonely?"
"I am always immersed in my Cultivation, I don\'t have any time to think about such stuff. Yes, you will be free from any responsibilities whatsoever if you do not become the Protector, however, if you do that, you won\'t be able to focus on your Cultivation. And Trust me, after becoming an Emperor, a cultivation session of a few hours wouldn\'t help you in any way."
Hearing those words, Nux frowned,
"Cultivation? You still cultivate?"
"Of course I do."
"But isn\'t Emperor Stage the peek? You are already the strongest in the world, why cultivate now?"
"Heh."
Astaria couldn\'t control herself and a small chuckle leaked out of her mouth.
Seeing that, Nux frowned,
"Wait… you are not the Strongest in the World?"
He guessed.
"I am."
Astaria nodded.
Nux was now even more confused,
"Nux, Emperor Stage is not the Limit, there is something above the Emperor."
"Above the Emperor?"
"Yes, don\'t ask me what it is, since even I don\'t know, however, the moment I stepped into this Realm, I knew it wasn\'t the Limit, I can still accumulate energy in my body, there has to be another Realm above the Emperor.
Other Emperor feels the same, the reason they stay in a single room for most of their life is that they all want to reach that realm.
You know about the Treaty, correct?"
Suddenly, Astaria questioned.
"Yes, I do."
Nux nodded.
"Why do you think the Treaty the signed?"
"Is… is it because you all wanted to cultivate, and didn\'t want anyone to bother you?"
Nux guessed.
Astaria chuckled,
"Indeed. Well, it wasn\'t us, it was the Second Generation Emperors, they all could feel this Realm as well, therefore, they signed this Treaty. Of course, the damage caused by the Battle between 2 Emperors is also a reason."
"So you have been Cultivating all these decades inside that room?" Nux questioned.
"Indeed."
Astaria nodded and now, Nux was even more confused.
[Name: Astaria Skyfall.]
[Age: 318]
[Mana Cultivation: Emperor.]
[Body Cultivation: Mortal.]
[Race: Human]
[Occupation: Protector of the Skyfall Kingdom.]
[Talent: Exceptional]
[LVL: 70]
He glanced at Astaria again and soon, her information appeared in his mind.
\'Is my System wrong?\'
Nux couldn\'t understand. With a confused look on his face, he turned towards Astaria and questioned,
"Lady Astaria, I hope you answer my question honestly."
"Alright, ask what you wish."
Astaria smiled a little.
"After Cultivating for all these years, have you experienced any improvements? Can the present you defeat the past you, who had just become an Emperor?"
"…"
Astaria turned silent.
"Please answer my question, Lady Astaria."
Nux urged.
"I can defeat my past self, yes."
Astaria nodded. Hearing that answer, Nux\'s frown deepened.
"However."
Suddenly, Astaria continued,
"I have not experienced any improvements in my cultivation. In all these years, only my control over my energy has improved."
\'As I thought.\'
Nux nodded inwardly.
Astaria was still Level 70, and even after all those years, her level has not improved, that was also the reason Nux believe that Emperor was the peak.
"I don\'t understand, if you have not experienced any improvements, then why bother? Why not just enjoy your life?"
Hearing that question, an emotional smile appeared on Astaria\'s face,
"I am determined to see that peak."
"And this is the same for all the Emperors?"
Nux questioned.
"You cannot become an Emperor if you are not curious enough, Boy. All those geezers are desperate to see the peek, even more desperate than me."
Astaria answered.
"Some of them might not be that desperate."
Suddenly, Nux commented.
"What do you mean?"
Astaria frowned.
"I told you, did I not? Focus on the Solid Earth Kingdom." Nux spoke with a serious look on his face.
Hearing those words, Astaria\'s face turned solemn as well.
"Herms Lizander has broken the Treaty."
"I wanted to ask you this before but couldn\'t since there were too many people.
How do you know that man\'s name?"
Astaria questioned.
"The General of the Solid Earth Kingdom, Armando, he is my subordinate."
Nux revealed and Astaria\'s eyes widened in surprise.
"A General serving the Solid Earth Kingdom is your subordinate? How did you do that?"
"I have my ways."
Nux smiled mysteriously. Astaria\'s face twitched, however, before she could attack him in annoyance, Nux continued.
"This only proves my point further. Herms is actually breaking the Treaty, if you want, I can even tell you what he plans to do."
A solemn look appeared on Astaria\'s face, seeing that he successfully managed to gain his attention, Nux smiled and started telling her everything he knew.
