At this moment, Sky Severing Divine Sovereign's heart was filled with shock.
The manor lord actually comprehended so much from simple teachings? How could he not have known? Moreover, the manor lord even said that this person had not yet displayed his full strength—how could that be possible? He gasped in disbelief and looked at the Abyssal Manor Lord, "My Lord, you previously displayed sixty percent of the ordinary transcendence realm's power, which that boy couldn't withstand; if he hasn’t unleashed all his strength yet, how terrifying must he be?"
It should be noted that the boy wasn't even at the transcendence realm yet.
"Are you doubting this manor?"
"No, no, no, how could this subordinate doubt the manor lord? I just find it hard to believe." Sky Severing Divine Sovereign shook his head repeatedly.
The Abyssal Manor Lord sighed, "Don’t say you don’t believe it; I was also quite shocked before. I have seen many Heavenly Prodigies in this cosmic sea, but someone as powerful as this boy is the first. This further validates my previous guess that he has someone backing him."
"This... how do you mean?" Sky Severing Divine Sovereign was stunned.
"To call you an idiot would be an understatement." The Abyssal Manor Lord said solemnly, "What is the Primal Universe? It is a place where not even transcendence exists. If this boy has no one behind him, how could he comprehend so deeply in the transcendence realm? Could he have figured it out all by himself?"
Sky Severing Divine Sovereign was taken aback, then reacted, frowning, "You mean to say there is a master behind this person teaching him?"
"That is beyond doubt, and the strength of that master is definitely not to be underestimated. Otherwise, no matter how talented this boy is, he wouldn't have achieved what he has today. I ask you, if it were you, could you teach such a Heavenly Prodigy?"
Under the Abyssal Manor Lord's gaze, Sky Severing Divine Sovereign shook his head repeatedly.
What a joke.
If he could teach a prodigy like that, would he still be at his current level?
The Abyssal Manor Lord's voice was deep, "That settles it. Don’t say it is you; even I can’t teach such a prodigy. And that’s just one point."
"What about the second?" Sky Severing Divine Sovereign asked curiously.
"The second point is that the news of his origin from the Primal Universe was leaked by the Dark Clan. Though the Dark Clan is not powerful in the cosmic sea and their Dark Ancestor is not as strong as this manor, at least he is a second transcendence. Logically, if they knew the boy came from the Primal Universe, they should have captured him long ago. But instead, they pursued him, and he even killed a transcendence-level being. What does this indicate?" The Abyssal Manor Lord spoke, his pupils shining with insight.
"This likely indicates that someone intervened, preventing the Dark Clan from succeeding. Otherwise, with the Dark Ancestor’s strength, even if the boy is talented, he couldn’t possibly be a match for a second transcendence. Moreover, the strength of the intervening person must be above the Dark Ancestor."
Sky Severing Divine Sovereign frowned, "But if there really is a master behind him, why not destroy the Dark Clan?"
He couldn't understand.
The Abyssal Manor Lord chuckled coldly, "There’s only one possibility: the powerful being behind him wants to keep the Dark Clan around to train him."
Train him?
Sky Severing Divine Sovereign immediately gasped.
Is that even possible?
The Abyssal Manor Lord seemed to sense Sky Severing Divine Sovereign's astonishment and smiled, "When all possibilities have been ruled out, the least likely option becomes the only truth."
Saying this, the Abyssal Manor Lord suddenly laughed, "A young powerhouse with exceptional talent and someone backing him, killing and robbing—now that's the dumbest approach. If I were to do that, our Abyssal Manor could attract a powerful figure we cannot afford to offend, leading to our complete destruction."
"The right approach is to befriend him, earn his friendship, and tie him to our Abyssal Manor. Only then can our Abyssal Manor survive in the long run."
