Nothing could shock Hao Ren more than what Asurmen said. "The ancients are an extension of the Mad Lord?"
"The ancients... That's how you call creatures like us?" The voice of Asurmen was so wispy that it sounded like it came from a dream. "Oh, during those crazy dark ages, ordinary creatures could not survive. Occasionally, primitive life emerged on a few stars on the edge of the universe, but they would often be destructed before they could develop. It was an era without Order. All physical laws and mathematical definitions were ambiguous, and births were random; so was death. But in that environment, life forms like us lasted longer. We were born on the edge of the Mad Lord's dark power, and we appeared in the energy sea of Chaos as its power vibrated. So it's not wrong to say that we are an extension of the Mad Lord."
Vivian gently scratched her chin and said, "But you're obviously not a creature of Chaos."
