Awakening of the Ancient: Rise of the Fallen

" You are right. It can't be said if it's true or not, but you must have an opinion about it. What do you think about it? Is it true or not? You're more knowledgeable, so you must have seen a lot of things to form your opinion, Right?" Xu Ming asked the little girl.

"I think it's a fake story. There is no way someone that strong could have existed, they fought, and we still haven't been destroyed. If it were true, there would be destruction all around. The whole world should have been destroyed if that was the case," the girl said.

"True, but maybe they didn't want to destroy the world and fought in a place that wouldn't affect others?" Xu Ming suggested.

The girl looked at him with a confused look on her face.

"That's a strange line of thought you have there. Why would they do it like that? Do you really think that they had a reason to be worried about the puny little worlds? Why would they care what gets destroyed and what doesn't?" the girl asked him.

"I'm just saying. I heard the stories about my grandfather. He was strong, but whenever he fought, he tried to keep the damage to his surroundings as contained as possible no matter what happened," Xu Ming replied.

The girl shook her head as she sat down on the bed.

"That's a naive thought that you have. There's a difference between someone from the Heavenly Realm and the Ancestral God Beast. Just like you can't compare an insect to an Immortal, you can compare an immortal to an Ancestral God Beast," she told him.

"It is true, but not true as well. The Ancestral God Beast should be like Ancestors of the God Beast. No matter how much a person hates someone, they won't destroy everything around them. If they did, would there really be any meaning left in victory?" Xu Ming asked.

"I'm just explaining my point of view. You can have different thoughts, but you're still naive. You still don't understand the thoughts of the mighty beings," Valeria told Xu Ming.

"Maybe, You might be right as well. I can't comment as I haven't read the story and have no impression of it. I'm only judging based on what you told me," Xu Ming responded.

"It really sucks that I'm stuck in a mortal world, though. I wish I had a crystal that brought me to higher worlds instead. The Spirit Qi here is really weak. I'm not even sure if I can increase my Strength by staying here. It would be impossible to grow strong in a backward place like this. I need to go to the immortal realm, at least," she muttered.

"Is there a way to go there? I need to go there in the future," Xu Ming told her.

"Of course, there are ways to go there. You can use a Spatial Crystal, but I don't have one. Do you have some Spatial Crystals?" she asked Xu Ming.

"I don't have any spatial crystals," Xu Ming replied. "None that I have seen at least."

"That's true, I'm not strong enough, but one day I will be. Nothing can stop me from going back to the Heavenly Realm," Xu Ming said, determination filling his face.

"Do you really miss your home that much?" She inquired.

"It's not about home. It's about someone at home," Xu Ming replied.

"I want to go home and expose that traitor in front of everyone. My mother still doesn't know what happened to me. He will pay for what he did when I expose him!" the girl let out.

"What did he do to you, and what actually happened?" Xu Ming inquired.

"The person was the son of the Commander of our Spirit Fairy Realm. I saw him molesting someone, and I confronted him. He begged me not to tell mother, but I didn't listen. That bastard attacked me! I would have died if I had not used the Space Crystal then and there," She said.

"Why would he attack you for that? It's not like one would be killed for that. His position is pretty high as well, being the commander's son. Was he so scared of getting punished?" Xu Ming asked.

"That's not it. Performing an act like that is the biggest crime a person can commit in the Spirit Fairy Realm! If one is caught, they would most certainly be put to death. It won't matter how high their position is. That's the law made by our ancestors, and no one can voice against the law," Valeria said.

"That's a strict law, but it's good. He was definitely stupid to do it even after knowing about it. Is everyone in the Spirit Fairy Realm as 'smart' as him?" he asked.

"No, the Spirit Fairy Realm is not like them at all. Most of the people there were almost as smart as me. Everyone abides by the law, and there are no crimes there, that's why I was shocked when I saw someone like him doing something like that," she said.

"I don't know why, but I feel like something isn't adding up here," Xu Ming muttered.

"What are you talking about? It's clear that he's an evil guy and I'm sure he did something like this many times. It's just that I managed to catch him this time," Valerie commented.

"If you say that," Xu Ming muttered. He decided to drop the topic as he was sure by now that the girl before him was a stubborn girl who would always believe their opinion. Also, it was not like he knew anything better about the situation. He decided to stop talking.

He turned his body sideways and started walking towards the washroom.

"Where are you going?" she asked.

"I'm going for a shower. I feel like getting some water over my head," he told her.

Xu Ming left her behind and entered the washroom.

After half an hour, he stepped out of the washroom. His hair was dripping wet. He walked to the table nearby and started drying his hair using a towel.

The girl was lying on the bed, looking at the roof.

"Are you getting bored here?" Xu Ming asked her.

"Nah, I've just been thinking about what my life has turned into. I never expected that I would be lying on a giant bed in a mortal world," Valeria told Xu Ming.

"I think the same thing almost every day, so I can understand what you're going through. Also, it's not a giant bed; you're the one who's tiny," Xu Ming replied.

"Whatever. Do you have any Spirit Crystals that I can use to cultivate?" she asked Xu Ming.

"I don't even know that there was a thing like Spirit Crystals before you told me," he said as a wry smile covered his face.

"It's so difficult to grow stronger here. This place sucks," she let out annoyingly.

"How about you take a shower as well? It's good to calm the mind. The best calming medicine I know about," Xu Ming told her.

She didn't reply to him and kept looking towards the roof, but after 5 seconds, she sat up and flew towards the washroom.

"You can fly?" Xu Ming let out in surprise.

"Of Course I can fly. Even a 5-year-old can fly in our place, what's so shocking about it," she let out before she entered the washroom.

Xu Ming walked to the bed and looked down.

The girl stepped out of the shower after 10 minutes.

"How are you feeling?" Xu Ming asked her.

"Not bad, it does have a soothing Effect just like you told me, but my worries are still there. I don't want to spend hundreds of years here to get strong enough to go to the Immortal World," she let out as she looked towards him.

"Oh, Right. I noticed that your cultivation is only at the Gold Core realm. How is that possible? Aren't the ones born in the Heavenly Realm the Earth Realm cultivators from their birth?" she asked.

"Yes, a child who is born in our place has a cultivation at the Earth Realm, but I didn't. I was told that it's because my father didn't have the Bloodline of the Heavenly Realm," Xu Ming replied to her.

"He wasn't from the Heavenly Realm? What the fuck? Your mother had a son with someone from the Demon Realm? Is that why you're here?" the girl exclaimed in surprise.

"No, my father was a mortal," Xu Ming said.

"You're kidding. There's no way a mortal would be allowed to marry someone from up there," Valeria said in disbelief as if she didn't believe him in the slightest.
