Eye System

Chapter 46: Returned

Instantly the old man and the woman with him could tell that Lex had a complete change in personality and expression, and the previously red eyes became a deep blue colour.

"Can I go please, whatever I did before wasn't me" says Lex nonchalantly, not scared in the slightest despite the situation and saw those before him as mere frogs in a well who didn't know how large the real world was.

"You dare to talk to me as your senior and the most powerful human on Earth in such a direct and disrespectful manner," refutes the woman with him angrily.

"Calm down Isabella, this kid isn't as simple as you think and we can't underestimate him, a month ago he was only an LVL 5 Mortal, yet now he can rival and Earth Mortal," states the old man thinking about what to do in this situation, while Lex burst out into laughter.

"Oi, old man, what LVL are you, strongest human on Earth," asks sarcastically Lex.

The old man could tell that Lex was profound and knew quite a lot, so wanted to play along with him.

"I have nearly completed the Sky Mortal Realm, but we don't know what comes next" announces the old man proudly, but what he didn't expect was for Lex to start laughing.

"How about we make a deal, I help you leave this tiny world and I will take you with me to the real world," says Lex knowing that he wouldn't be able to get out of this situation with strength and would need to negotiate with him.

Suddenly the old man jumps right close to his face, "Boy, you feel it to that we are trapped in this small world, what do you know" he impatiently enquires to Lex like a child.

"Release me and we can talk," says Lex knowing he wouldn't be able to get out without his permission.

"Don't release him, father, he doesn't know anything and you are just crazy there is no other world," declares the woman next to him ignorantly.

Yet she was just ignored by the old man who opens up Lex's locks and leads him to another room with a comfortable seat and sits down, ready to listen to what Lex has to say.

Lex sitting down knew that it was only a matter of time before he could leave this base and would need to cultivate, however with his current strength he knew he couldn't do anything.

"Listen old man believe what you want but what I am about to tell you is the absolute truth which everyone here is ignorant of, and this is merely a small universe that is closed, but you must be powerful enough to break through or know how to leave, and I know how to leave just need to train for longer," states Lex missing out a lot of overwhelming information such as being overseen by the Jade Palace disciples.

Hearing everything, his mouth gaped in shock but found that everything he was told matched what he found out as well and he just wanted the confirmation from somebody else.

"How strong are the other leaders of the other planets," asks Lex wanting to get a rough idea about the current situation and how close he was to leave this sub-dimension.

"Well the strongest is the Gama base Leader James Gama, who is at LVL 98 of the Sky Mortal Realm, but like me, no one knows what is next and what to do," says the old man who for some reason was placing all his hopes on this child sat before him.

[System, why can't the humans ascend past being a Sky Mortal].

{Ding, as host knows this is a sub-dimension so it has a power limit and those above the Mortal Realms will break through this sub-dimension and gain access to the real world and if you want to become a Heaven Mortal one must have unsealed meridians like yourself and break through the space}.

With this, he realised how cruel the outer world and humanity was in general and it reminded him of Ella who was prosecuted and is hunted due to her race and all these people in this sub-dimension are no more than ants or animals in their eyes.

"Old man it is impossible for you to pass the Sky Mortal LVL, but if I can help you increase in LVL we can also leave this place but I can only take you with me," he says to him knowing he had abundant amounts of energy in his eyes which he could use to unlock a few of his meridians and Lex himself knew he needed to absorb more and stream it through his body to unlock the rest of his meridians.

As he heard this, he was excited and for some reason looking into the kid in front of him with his deep blue eyes believed in him, but was reluctant to leave his daughter.

Seeing his reaction, it was a moral test on his loyalty and if he would leave his daughter to chase adventure, strength and opportunities. Just as he was about to refuse, he was interrupted by Lex.

"I was testing whether you would leave your daughter for strength and adventure and you have passed, I am not heartless and would never force you to leave family in such hard decisions," says Lex.

The old man became like a child in front of the young Lex while that woman just stood on the side shocked by what was just happening and how her father was being respectful to a kid.

Leaving the old man with a wide smile and tears streaming down his face having the hope of being able to explore which was the wish of his life and being able to take his daughter his only family with him, Lex gets up.

"Old man I admit that my body has killed tens of thousands of people in that Mortal Beast Dimension and to be honest with you I am not guilty in the slightest, I will leave you with some advice, only strength matters in this world to protect those you love like your daughter, and there is always someone above you so if you are willing to kill do not be afraid of death, I will return after I deal with some issues before we leave" advises Lex with a calm and serious expression as he walks out of the room he was in and leaves through the exit he found with his eyes.

Leaving the old man and his daughter shocked and overwhelmed by the child who is so ruthless and mature at such a young age.

"Time to give a visit to my old friend Jona," says Lex with an evil smile almost as if the personality of Evil Lex has rubbed off on him.
