Chapter 724
Some seconds of silence passed as Gravis calmed down. The past minutes had felt like he stood at the edge of chaos. Just onewrong step and he would stop existing.
"So, what is this Brand?" Gravis asked.
The Opposer looked at his son. "What | am about to tell you will never be repeated again, and you are not allowed to talk aboutthese things with anyone, including your mother. Don't even talk to me about it with a voice transmission after our talk is oversince the danger is too great that someone will overhear your voice transmission."
"If anyone ever hears of this, no matter who, they and you will be immediately extinguished by the old bastard. Absolutely no onecan hear about this," the Opposer said severely.
Gravis felt like a colossal weight pressed on his entire being. This was obviously something of paramount importance, which theOpposer had never shared with anyone, including his wife. Probably only two beings in existence knew of this thing, and Graviswas about to become the third one.
Gravis took a deep breath and released it. Then, he looked at his father with conviction and nodded. "I will never repeat anythingyou will say to me during this talk."
The Opposer nodded. "You are only allowed to speak of this when you are directly in front of me and only when | give youpermission to. If you handle this incorrectly, you will stop existing. Understood?"
Gravis nodded again. "Yes, father."
The Opposer looked at his son for several seconds.novelbin
"Good," the Opposer said. "I will now tell you why it is impossible for a second Opposer to exist."
‘Impossible?’ Gravis thought. It was one thing that reaching this power was very hard, but straight up impossible?
"This will also explain to you why | specifically targeted the Star Gods back then, and not the more powerful Gods," the Opposersaid.
Gravis nodded again.
"When a Heaven's Magnate steps into the next Realm, they will be able to somewhat resist the Old Bastard's power. | won't tellyou the details since that power level is simply too far away from you and might move your cultivation into a different direction,”the Opposer said.
"When | reached that Realm around 50 billion years ago, the Old Bastard immediately tried to kill me. That had always worked,and he thought that this would continue to work."
Then, the Opposer smirked. "But he underestimated me. | managed to resist him just long enough to ensure my survival. Withmy survival ensured, | managed to cultivate in peace until | broke through again and reached the power of the Old Bastard.That's when | returned and fought him."
‘Broke through again?’ Gravis thought with surprise. ‘Does this mean that father is not only one Realm higher than a Heaven'sMagnate but two Realms? That's insane! No wonder they are so powerful!’
"The Old Bastard realized that he had committed a fatal mistake and vowed that nothing like this would ever happen again.Because of that, he implemented the Brand," the Opposer said.
“A Star God is called a Star God because they condense a star inside their being. They become connected to that star, and it willact as the embryo for all their future advancement. The star is the very thing that allows them to become stronger."
“As their power increases, their star transforms multiple times until it finally gives you the ability to retreat into your own space,absent from the Old Bastard's control. That's when you reach the Realm after a Heaven's Magnate."
"The Brand is an infusion of the Old Bastard's essence and control into your star when it condenses, and its purpose is to granthim access to your star when necessary. This means that the protection of the Realm after the Heaven's Magnate Realm doesn'twork anymore. Because of this, you can't protect yourself against the Old Bastard. You can imagine the rest," the Opposer said.
Gravis nodded. Not being able to run from someone an entire major Realm above themselves spelled certain death. Battle-Strength also didn't matter since the highest Heaven probably had the most powerful Battle-Strength out of anyone alive, exceptfor the Opposer, maybe. Additionally, the highest Heaven would be an entire Realm higher.
That was why the Opposer said that it was impossible to reach the Realm after the Heaven's Magnate Realm. No one couldescape from the highest Heaven.
"Infusing a star with this Brand costs the Old Bastard a lot of Energy, and that Energy will only be reclaimed when the Star Godbecomes an Ancestral God," the Opposer said.
‘That's a lot of Energy,’ Gravis thought. Yet, he still had a question.
"Then doesn't it mean that the highest Heaven loses most of its Energy? After all, only a select few will ever become AncestralGods," Gravis said.
The Opposer nodded. "Correct. Just this Brand alone probably slows down the growth of Energy in the Cosmos to 80% of its fullpotential. It's a significant expenditure of Energy. Yet, the Old Bastard would rather waste this much Energy instead of allowing asecond Opposer to appear."
Now, Gravis understood why the highest Heaven became so enraged when the Opposer killed the Star Gods. The highestHeaven had just used an incredible amount of Energy to brand the Star Gods, but not even one of them would ever be able torepay that Energy. Additionally, the Opposer had probably killed future Ancestral Gods, Divine Gods, and maybe even futureHeaven's Magnates.
This was a truly devastating strike.
"This is also the reason why Cultivators reach the highest world at the Peak Immortal Emperor Realm instead of the Star GodRealm. The higher worlds can't bring up the sheer amount of power required to infuse the stars with the Brand. Additionally, theOld Bastard would never trust any of his children with something that important. As long as he deals with everything himself,nothing can go wrong," the Opposer said.
Gravis had already thought it unusual that the higher worlds didn't follow the ascension pattern of the lower and middle worlds.Now, he knew the answer to the question of why.
"If anyone finds out about the Brand, the entire purpose of cultivation will vanish from the world," the Opposer said. "Everyonebelieves that there is a chance to reach my power, even if it is slim. Additionally, the Heaven's Magnates have not given up hope.Yet, if they know that it is straight-up impossible, the entire goal would be put into jeopardy. Far more people would decide to notcontinue on their path."
"That is why the Old Bastard is so adamant about keeping the Brand secret. It not only endangers his own survival but also thegrowth of his Cosmos. If anyone hears of this, the Old Bastard won't stop until they stop existing," the Opposer said with severity.
Gravis took a deep breath. This piece of information was truly heavy. Just knowing it felt like Gravis was weighed down by aheavy burden.
"| understand, father," Gravis said solemnly.
"Good," the Opposer said. "Right now, by knowing about the Brand, you are the second most dangerous being to the OldBastard. Even if he had to kill all Heaven's Magnates to kill you, he would do it without hesitation. The only thing protecting yourlife is my threat right now, and that also only because | keep my word. As soon as | break my word, it would mean that the OldBastard can't negotiate with me."
"And when he sees that he can't negotiate with me, he has to get rid of me, even if it means sacrificing billions of years ofEnergy. If this gets out, | am forced to let you get killed. Otherwise, everyone | love will die, and maybe even | will die."
Gravis nodded again. "I understand," he said again.
The Opposer nodded. "Now, in orderto reach my power in the future, youobviously need to avoid getting thtBrand. wert Yotr reach the Star GodRealm in the highest world, you willbe branded. Because of that, youneed to reach it in the higher world."The content is on NovelDrama.Org!Read the latest chapter there!
“Of course, the higher world doesn't have enough Energy to create a Star God. Even if you consumed the entire world, youwouldn't be able to become a Star God."
“But there is one being in each higher world that has enough Energy to push you to the Star God Realm," the Opposer said.Gravis nodded. "Heaven," Gravis said.
The Opposer nodded. "This meansthat to ever have the chance ofreaching my power, you need to killand consume ahighefPedven YouKho hoW Powerful the middleHeaven was, and you might be ableto imagine the power of a higherHeaven.

“Additionally, the Old Bastard wants you to fight his firstborn, the most powerful higher Heaven. Otherwise, he wouldn't agree.""Gravis," the Opposer said. "You believe that you know the power of the higher Heavens, but you are still far off."

“Every single one?" Gravis asked as he took a deep breath. "But doesn't that mean..." he said as he trailed off.The Opposer nodded.
"Yes, Gravis."
"It even knows the Higher Law of the True World."
"This thing is an absolute monster, even for my standards."
