After a few days of negotiations in the Fairy Tribe, Vicente had almost run out of high-level resources to trade.
He still had a large amount of items with him in his space ring, things that beings of the 8th stage wouldn't look for, but which were riches for any other kind of magician. In addition, he closed the deals he could on behalf of Stonewall, helping his sect with new relations, but also opening doors to local Amae forces.
With these diplomatic actions, Vicente spent his last days on the island in tranquility, having time to interact with his most recent partners and even to cultivate. Thus, he reached 4-Star, achieving the maximum cultivation that this island could offer someone with his cultivation base.
Vicente finally decided on his departure date, giving the fairies the chance to prepare a ship for his group and gather the materials and information needed for the group to be able to move forward with their goals.
Vicente would leave the Fairy Tribe the following morning, when he would go to the Elf Tribe to pick up Lyra and then go alongside her, Rex and Larissa, to the port from where they would leave Amae permanently. Given this set departure date, today Vicente had been summoned to the last official meeting with the leadership of Amae's largest force.
As previously promised, the tribe would tell him a little more about their doubts regarding the Nine Paths!
...
At the royal palace of the Fairy Tribe, Vicente had just dined with the royal family and some of the tribe's high-level elders.
After finishing the meal, which had been taken casually and without much tension, focusing on the positives and saying goodbye to Vicente, a group of two elders and the king accompanied Vice through the estate without anyone else.
They began their journey down a long corridor, with the three old Grand Magus showing Vicente the history of their organization through paintings and statues. This went on until they stopped in an underground room, where the king led the way into what looked like a vault made of gold.
Everything changed a million years ago, in the first war of Hell and Argardus."
"The two supreme dimensions clashed for the first time at that time, causing chaos and degeneration in all the lower dimensions. Out of this chaos, however, some of the Transcendents behind the two dimensions saw a great opportunity," said one of the elders, looking at Vicente as if his words carried the weight of the entire universe.
"The opportunity to destroy the Nine Paths and keep for themselves absolute power, capable of bringing them total control over the dimensions." The other elder continued, as the four individuals watched the crystal in the room gradually lose its shine, as if marking the time they had in this way.
The Fairy King said, "By partially destroying the Nine Paths, those Transcendentals ended the possibility of most creatures having a chance of gaining their places in one of the two absolute dimensions. In return, they gained more power and possibilities."
"It would have been perfect if it hadn't been for the imbalance afterwards." Sighed an elder, who only knew this truth because of the sacrifice of countless fairies in an incident a million years ago, at a point far from Amae, in the Sea of Stars.
"Now these Transcendentals choose who should enter Argardus and who should not. Meanwhile, some dimensions, like ours, are suffering from the effects caused by the actions of these Transcendentals, which have damaged the wheel of reincarnation and created spectres and ghosts in several dimensions."
"That's not the case with Amae, but there are islands in Anicane that are practically completely destroyed, Vicente," said the king gravely.
"Anyway, you and the Polaris Realm natives who have passed through my island are not the only ones who are dissatisfied or looking for change. But be careful, Vicente. Those behind the destruction of the Nine Paths are so strong that they can destroy entire plans with the snap of their fingers!" The king finished as he watched his time run out.
Immediately their time was up, the three individuals lost their worried and deeply serious expressions, becoming smiling again, as if they hadn't said anything.
'This is more complicated than I had previously imagined...'
