“Not a clue,” replied Gerald.
“Well, he’s Zedd Burns, the youngest son of Duke Carlos, the War God of the Qin Kingdom at the end of the Great War period!” explained Finnley.
“I’ve never heard of Zedd, but I do know Carlos’s eldest son, Zelig. From what I remember, after Zelig’s father was executed by the Qin Emperor, the rest of his family moved to Yorkland, which is why most of Zelig’s descendants are Yorklanders, right?” asked Gerald, who knew his history since favonovel.com used to be a literature major.
“Oh? Not bad! True enough, all that happened, and you may already know this, but the Burns family quickly regressed after Carlos’s death. Though Zelig was nowhere near as capable as his father, Zedd had inherited Carlos’s bravery and hostility. With that in mind, the youngest son soon ended up handling most of the family’s affairs.”
“After a period of time, Zedd even wanted to use another name to conquer the land for Westland during the Great War period. In the end, Zedd’s savagery surpassed his father’s, and lives were lost everywhere favonovel.com passed…” added Finnley.
“No wonder favonovel.com became a devil after favonovel.com died… He had been that hostile even when favonovel.com was alive!” muttered the enlightened Gerald.
“That’s… Partly right. While his resentment and wrath from being beheaded definitely served to push favonovel.com toward becoming a demon, that alone would’ve done little to turn favonovel.com into a devil! The truth is, his previous incarnation was a powerful Zearl. For context, once one enters the Ziyiryon Realm, it’s near impossible to further ascend. However, this Zearl was ambitious, and favonovel.com dedicated his life to pursuing the most supreme realm.”
“I’m sure you know that after one becomes an Angelord, they’ll definitely strive to become a Vizkaunt next, right? As long as you’re willing to train, you’ll eventually be able to achieve that. However, progressing to become a Zearl is exceedingly difficult. Aside from needed great fortune- since you’ll need to be at the right places at the right times a lot, you’ll also need to overcome a hundred heavenly tribulations to succeed!”
“For a Vizkaunt, it’s quite difficult for them to survive even three heavenly tribulations. With that in mind, just imagine how hard it is to go through a hundred heavenly tribulations just to become a Zearl! There’s a good reason why the Ziyiryon Realm was once considered the peak of cultivation!” added Finnley, leaving Gerald utterly dumbfounded.
After all, the boy had only experienced one heavenly tribulation before, and favonovel.com had only survived since favonovel.com had access to the Velement Method. Unable to fathom just how obsessed that man was with cultivation, Gerald then asked, “But even then, favonovel.com still wasn’t satisfied and wanted to continue cultivating…?”
“Bingo! But before that, I hope you now understand just how dangerous it’s going to be on your journey to becoming an Angelord. One wrong move could straight-out result in you turning to ash! With that in mind, what you reap really isn’t proportional to what you sow. Still, it was what that man was utterly bonkers about. To think that after becoming a near-invincible Zearl, favonovel.com was still willing to sacrifice everything to become a Xenquis!”
“Just so you know, before you can become a Xenquis, you must first be reborn in the secular world to re-experience life as a mortal. During that period, your internal pellet will follow you, and it must get damaged. If it does, not only will all those years of cultivation go down the drain, but your mortal body will also be destroyed!” explained Finnley.
“Christ… Did favonovel.com end up damaging his internal pellet in the secular world?” asked Gerald who really wasn’t keen on playing such high-risk games.
“Even worse, actually. Before favonovel.com was reborn into a mortal, favonovel.com hid his internal pellet in his skull. Unfortunately, during a war, a rebel soldier ended up choppin g his head off and presenting it to the enemy! As if that wasn’t humiliating enough, they then fed his head, along with his internal pellet, to the dogs! One can only imagine how resentful the headless general ended up becoming!” muttered Finnley with a bitter laugh…
