Chapter 41 - Irregularities

In the beginning, when the Myriad Races worshipped the First Man, he had created the first Origin Fae as a result of awakening his origin essence sea.

He had given birth to Earth Fae, the fae which was born from the essence of the earth. It was a complimentary fae, and used in tandem with Heaven Fae which was born from the essence of heaven.

The Myriad Races which once hated and looked down upon the First Man now worshipped like a living God.

The First Man had indulged in countless amounts of earthly pleasures, understanding the differences between him and the Myriad Races at the same time.

Yet, unlike when two members of the same Race made love, the First Man could not give the women of the Myriad Races children, unable to bridge the gap between the different Races.

The Myriad Races believed that they were not strong enough, or worthy enough of carrying the First Man's seed, so they tried to create something that could.

Using blood, bones, flesh, skin and organs from the First Man, they tried to create another Human. Mixing them in with their own unique attributes, the Myriad Races tried to create new life with Fae, eventually giving birth to the second ever Human.

This second Human was born from the Shadow Race, as well as the First Man.

Her name was-.

"Formless Night Shadow".

In the beginning, there was nothing but darkness, so it was only natural that the first ever "created" Human was born from the night.

This, was how the first of the Thirty Three Sovereign Boundary Physiques was created. As well as the beginning of the end of the First Man.

Arthur returned to his basement home, punching one of the stone walls inside so hard that the stone cracked slightly under the immense pressure. Arthur's fist bloodied, and expression angered.

He let out a deep breath, sitting on the floor, cross legged as he regained his composure.

"This.... isn't right", he said.

Even as far as fixing the timestream goes, this wasn't normal.

Awakening one of the Thirty Three Sovereign Boundary Physiques was a completely random event. Even those ancient experts from the previous generations couldn't influence who would receive one of the Thirty Three Sovereign Boundary Physiques.

Some Fae Masters tried to divine whether or not there were certain requirements needed to be fulfilled in order to awakened one of the Thirty Three Sovereign Boundary Physiques, but found nothing similar in regards to their research.

In his previous life, Arthur barely remembered who Andrea Kovacs was.

He knew she existed, but beyond that he didn't remember anything else other than, that they fought during both of the Clans new Fae Master tournaments.

Being one of the Thirty Three Sovereign Boundary Physiques, she would possess natural endowments which went far beyond first-tier talents like Randolf and miles beyond second-tier talents like Arthur.

"Her origin essence sea will expand rapidly, allowing her to use all 300% of her origin essence sea. Her origin essence regeneration will increase rapidly as well, allowing her to cultivate fast, even faster than me using the bloodseeker leaf fae".

"Also, in the coming days she will awaken her second Origin Fae, the unique Fae belonging solely to the Boundless Forest Yearning Sovereign Boundary Physique, the Affection Tree Fae.....".

The Boundless Forest Yearning Sovereign Boundary Physique would allow for the creation of the Affection Tree Fae.

This particular Fae at Rank 1 increased the affection that the Fae Master could receive by others within a certain radius. The best thing about it, is that it didn't just work on other people, but also flora and fauna as well.

While it wasn't as perfect as taming fae, it could inspire affection within all living creatures. Including spirit beasts.

At higher Ranks, the Affection Tree Fae could be evolved into the Rank 2 Spirit Affection Tree Fae, and even the Rank 3 Earth Affection Tree Fae.

As for Rank 4 and Rank 4 versions of this Fae, Arthur didn't know.

Arthur sighed, revealing an expression of self-depreciation.

"I can't believe I let my focus drop like that. I mean, getting surprised was one thing, but showing such a.... emotional demeanour was something I haven't done in.... over a hundred years".

He chuckled at the implications of his words.

"At any rate, this doesn't fully change my plans. I only need to be more careful now that the Clan has someone who has one of the Thirty Three Sovereign Boundary Physiques. Their focus will be almost completely pulled away from Randolf, and placed mostly on Andrea. Her cultivation will skyrocket, and she will most likely be granted just about any Fae she wants".

Arthur showed a peculiar expression on his face.

'Maybe I can use this', he thought.

The Clan will increase the guard they have on Andrea and her Family, and while they won't separate her from the other members of Arthur's generation, they certainly won't allow her to leave the Village with her current abilities.

They would focus on researching the Boundless Forest Yearning and try to find out ways to increase Andrea's strength, so she can greatly benefit the Clan.

This would mean that security around the Village as a whole would increase, so as to prevent others from finding Andrea and trying to.... eliminate her.

However, the security outside the Clan would decrease as well. The Kovacs Clan would try their best to fortify their defences and improve their internal security for a period of time, before refining their external security.

This would give Arthur more chances to leave the Village, seeing as though no-one would suspect the Clan Leader's son of doing something that would harm the Village.

If Arthur could come and go as he pleased, that would benefit him greatly.

'The Elders and the Clan Leader will try and supress this information as much as possible. If a major Clan or Sect came here as a result of the information, then Andrea would more than likely be taken away. If they can create a link between Andrea and the Village between the time when a major power comes to find her, than the Kovacs Clan as a whole will benefit from the arrangement'.

Andrea could be used as a bargaining chip. In which she would be given away, and the Clan would receive the benefits of being a subsidiary power of a major power.

There was another Clan in Winter Rain Mountain who also had someone awaken to one of the Thirty Three Sovereign Boundary Physiques. It took one of the major Sects within Azure Envy Continent three years before they came and took her away.

She was probably at least Rank 3 Fae Master now. Perhaps higher if her other attainments were good.

"My plan with the blood essence gathering tree is still optimal. My combat strength as a whole will increase even if I need just a little bit more time to reach Rank 2. My strength will exceed that of both Andrea and Randolf, and I won't need to worry about getting attacked when the beast tide comes".

Arthur's sole goal was still to grow stronger.

His cultivation was a limiting factor, but there were still other ways to develop.

Using Fae like the blood essence gathering tree to produce Blood Fruits was one way.

Another way was to increase the compatibility between his Fae so as to let his Fae create a greater effect than normal.

Another, was just to increase the amount of fae Arthur had in his possession.

If Arthur had similar Fae to Borik, like the fiend worm fae or the bear arms fae, he would be able to exert a greater strength at the same level as other Fae Masters.

Arthur's eyes narrowed as he examined this possibility.

"Enhancement type fae. Some can be permanent, while others use origin essence during battle.... This method doesn't conflict with the Blood Fruits....".

The thousand year old reincarnate tilted his head back, letting it rest against the stone cold wall.

"I won't be able to find the material to create a fiend worm fae here. But perhaps something else can be used. I just need to gather it, before others have a chance to beat me to it!".

Arthur smiled.

This was definitely a bump in the road, but not something that would make him stop.

As he said before, nothing in this world could stop Arthur from getting what he wants.
