I looked at Zi Lin and Xiao Ya with a solemn face. The Great Forgotten Realm was a theory I had posed based on my experiences in the 50,000 Universes. 

Xiao Ya soon gave a silly look however as she spoke

"Uhh Master, Xiao Ya only vaguely remembers the Great Forgotten Realm"

This was understandable as even considering her soul age Xiao Ya was her species equivalent to a child becoming an adolescent mentally

Zi Lin while being the same age was from a species that prided itself on their cunning so Zi Lin obviously knew what I was referencing, Zi Lin shook her head

"Honestly, what is the point of having ears if you don't commit Master's every movement to memory, Master shall I explain?"

I shook my head, one could clearly see Xiao Ya already scolding herself and adding the confident Zi Lin to her sour mood would only make things worse.

"It's alright Zi Lin, Xiao Ya focuses more on the physical aspect of life while you focus on the mental aspects, how would it feel if Xiao Ya consistently mocked you for being unable to do things like devouring a universe?"

Zi Lin looked at me with a pouty face while Xiao Ya started sweating

"But master... that puppy is all bark when you aren't looking"

I glared over at the Xiao Ya who looked like she was about to cry from anxiety before sighing

"Forget it, sibling rivalry is healthy, just listen to the story. After usurping the throne I came to realize something, that the "Multiverse" we lived in was originally divided into four great sections in general fundamental laws, stay within your quadrant of universes and the laws would remain generally the same with some differences. These differences could be big or small but would never be as large as crossing from on quadrant to another. After countless trips throughout every inch of the infinite multiverse however I noticed something... the palace at the center of all universe where the universe principles stemmed from in glorious fashion was actually a key. I broke the throne apart to find that beneath the throne was a deep cavern that was hidden from reality itself, in this cavern I saw a soul imprint that described a time of great warriors. There were 102 warriors who had reached the True Apex realm with 5 of what they called "Star Linchpins" who had surpassed the True Apex realm who all obeyed the will of the man called "The Mad God" who stood at a level equal to if not greater than my prime. The Mad God managed to ascend to the same realm as those eyes I felt on me and was never seen in the 50,000 universes again. after this a great war broke out between the Star Linchpins for who would become the next king. One of the Linchpins however saw this and instead of falling into the base avarice that his companions did, he decided to sacrifice his life along with all his True Apex Realm followers to cut off their territory and take this infinite amount of space to create a new multiverse in the void. It was said that after the war everyone who participated was dead leaving the multiverse with 4 quadrants. I did my own research and found out that by sacrificing themselves while this new multiverse they created would be extremely weak in terms of energy, they would have filled this world with enough karma to where countless treasures and bloodlines would be able to flourish."

Xiao Ya had fallen asleep during the course of my story and only woke up when I finished, Zi Lin however nodded along as I had already told her this story. In the end it seems my efforts were wasted. 

'The only question is how did I end up here? this place was supposed to be sealed when it was cut off from the grand multiverse... I think i'm starting to put the puzzle together and it's revealing a horrifying yet glorious image. If that voice was right then this place wasn't unsealed but the only way to accomplish my goal of living in a peaceful universe was here, in order to fulfill my wish the Apex Sutra must have forcefully smashed open a way into this dimension that can no longer be sealed up as the Supreme Apex Sutra no longer exists. Beasts from my old world are naturally sensitive to such portals and it won't take them long to find the portal to this vulnerable world, and after them there may even be those opportunistic fools who come here looking for the countless treasures.'

The only good news would be that this portal was obviously unstable if I broke through the multiverse with pure force meaning that it would not be able to stand the pressure of a being above the Mortal Ascension realm. If I had to use an analogy it would be like trying to carry a bucket of water through a tunnel while anything above the mortal ascension realm would be like trying to fit a tsunami through the same tunnel without it collapsing.

while this may sound like a great relief to many it was actually a great worry for me. not only would a single Mortal Ascension realm be an unfathomable power here but I would be the sole being capable of defeating such a power meaning whatever little chance of normalcy I had would be blown away. Once again I would be looked at as a God among Gods, a revered existence yes, but a lonely and feared existence. I refused to ever be that person again.

Zi Lin and Xiao Ya had once asked me why I was so dissatisfied with the top of everything and I still hold the same answer

"This is bullshit, I want so much more than the top. I want to feel the warmth in my mothers embrace again, I want to hear my sisters innocent declarations of love just one more time, I want to see my father's determination as he announces how bright my future would be... but most of all, I want to be protected for once in my life, to feel the comfort of knowing that someone was looking out for me."

for that reason and that reason alone I refused to be humanity's golden savior that would be looked upon with reverence. it may sound selfish but I was never defining myself as a selfless individual. 

I had made up my mind to find some other way around this problem and now that I knew this was the world of unspeakable talents and treasures I had made a vow to break this world apart atom by atom if need be to find the treasures and talents necessary to raise my family up, give them the ability to go beyond Mortal Ascension realm and defend themselves. 

Thus I looked to my father and sister with eyes burning of desire and to my new friends with a look in my eyes that had never once been seen on me... the will to teach 

AN: Sorry for the late chapter everyone. i've been feeling a lot of stuff lately that I had to work through but I swear I'm trying my best to get stuff out to you... anyways peace out friends, favorite it and comment if you please, it really does mean a lot.
