Chapter 1076  Heated Discussion

Fanny's matter was eventually taken care of after Lith brainstormed ideas for a few minutes.

Innocent children would be put under proper care until the age of thirteen. After awakening, they'll be sent to an academy. By the time they get out of it, their age should be anywhere between 17-19. Being from the Flaming Emperor bloodline, their aptitude shouldn't be too bad. They could get into a good clan later on and live well. If they decide to do crime by then or if they decide to do some bad deed, they would be punished with death.

There were many exceptions to doing bad deeds as well. A person was allowed to kill in self defense, and would suffer no retaliation if they asked someone else to do bad deeds for them.

All of this hassle would be taken care of by Fei and Fanny. Both were capable enough to fulfill these conditions given by him.

Fei left the castle's rooftop, leaving Lith, Meryl, and Lizbeth alone.

The Human Continent's issues were almost sorted and the war would come to an end.

Devil attacks were conducted to instill fear in people. A Human was a weak creature and really pitiful. They needed someone to vent their fear, anger, and frustration. With there being only Humans around them, a massive internal strife took place.

Back on Earth, in the medieval times, women were accused of witchcraft and burned alive despite being alive. A similar situation was occurring amongst the people.

Nobody knew who was colluding with the Devil, and with the slightest suspicion, they would report even their loved ones to the authorities. This was how scared they were.

If they weren't scared, they would be jealous and envious. They did not want others to be better than them and would snitch on them to the authorities, getting them killed.

Humankind's worst enemy was Humankind.

The Devils were called back to the Abyss long ago and whatever wars and troublesome situations were occurring in the Human Continent were purely due to the Humans themselves.

With Arbour taking charge as their new leader, this strife was bound to be eradicated. A new order would be established and the Humans would find peace while growing much stronger physically and mentally.

Spending a few hours working on the rooftop, Lith stopped when he found snowflakes on his hand.

Looking around, crimson-colored snow was falling from the sky.

Lizbeth's focus broke as she looked up and Meryl woke up too due to the cold snowflakes falling on her body.

Shivering, she jumped out of Lizbeth's lap and turned into her human form, sitting on a chair beside Lizbeth.

Gray clouds gathered in the sky. Snow fell out of it and purple thunder rumbled intensely as the temperature sharply rose everywhere in the world, confusing everyone.

The snow was cold. The temperature was hot. Thunder turned into lightning with an intense darkness looming everywhere around the world.

A sharp rise in Dark, Death, Destruction, Fire and Wind elements could be felt around the world.

The ones that possessed these felt their bottlenecks disappear and were in a state of achieving breakthroughs. The others that possessed opposite elements were getting sick with weaker ones getting sent to hospitals.

The event lasted for half a day and everything then went back to normal.

Lith knew his aunt had ascended to Legendary Rank successfully. He had to meet her soon to congratulate her.

Since everyone was ascending lately, a big party was a must. Lith would host it himself and congratulate everybody.

"In what realm does such a flashy event happen?" Lizbeth asked while looking at the sky.

Meryl took a sip of sweet green tea and replied, "The one after mine and Master's."

"What realm are you in?" Liz asked.

"Demigod."

"What's that?" Liz had never heard of it before.

Lith looked at her and replied, "It's Supreme Rank."

"Oh." Liz said flatly. "How long will it take for me to reach that stage?"

"If you're a genius among geniuses, around a hundred thousand years."

"…"

Liz looked at her Master with a bewildered expression, blinking her eyes repeatedly and staring at him.

Lith shrugged and continued, "Cultivation is an endless journey. If you can't persevere, you won't live for long."

Liz rubbed her eyes behind her glasses and said, "I am already quite tired by living… for what? A hundred years? Two hundred years? I don't even know…"

Lith smiled and said while interlocking his fingers and placing his chin on it, "You are an immortal now. Someone with an endless lifespan. Compared to the infinite nature of it, two centuries are nothing."

Liz sighed and leaned back on her chair. "Who even wants to live that long?"

"What?" Meryl looked at Liz as if she had just discovered a new creature. "You don't wish to live forever?"

"No?" Liz questioned back. "Why would I want to? After a certain point, things would just keep repeating themselves. I don't think there will be anything that I'll be looking forward to after a certain age."

The conversation had shifted to a more philosophical level. Lith wasn't concerned by Liz's views. She was still a kid and learning. She would eventually know the joys of immortality once she comes out of her mortal shell.

"Why do you think it'll get repeated?"

Liz tilted her head to the side. "Why wouldn't it? You would've experienced everything there was to experience and just gotten done with life. What could motivate you to live after that? Taking alchemy as an example… hypothetically speaking, there would come a day when I would know every single thing about it. Nothing would be left anymore as I would become the peak master. What then? I'll feel so empty…"

"Fufu… this little girl sure is interesting…"

A sweet voice rang in everyone's ears as a silver-haired lady in black regal gothic outfit made an appearance.

Meryl and Lizbeth went in a stupor as they gazed upon Lilith's beauty. She was so pleasing to their eyes that they didn't feel like looking away or blinking for as much as a split second.

Lilith took a seat beside Lith and smiled at the two. "Little girl, do you really think there will come a day when you'll know everything?"

"Yes." Lizbeth nodded with absolute certainty.

Lith rubbed his chin and said, "I am not educated on such philosophical matters, so I can't answer your queries, Liz. However, as per knowledge, you would get new experiences. Things won't repeat as often as you think they would."

Liz shook her head. "Master, I am quite sure that they would. Because just think of it yourself… most people experience similar emotions… have similar reactions to distress and glee, and also don't different too much personality wise. We can come to a conclusion from this that intelligence and emotional quotient are limited. When one thing's limited in the infinite span of timeline, it is bound to be repeated."

Whatever Lizbeth just said went over Meryl's head. She could not understand what was going on.

Lith nodded his head in response. "If you think it that way, you're right."

"See—"

"But…" Lith cut her off. "…such is the case if you consider everyone having similar traits. What if you're under-evaluating everything? What if there's an infinite number of responses and personalities? Sure… emotions may be limited, but what if there's an infinite number of situations? Anything multiplied by infinity should be infinity, right?"

Lizbeth wanted to retort to this by saying how such a thing was possible, but stopped herself from speaking and took a pause. She frowned visibly and thought hard on this matter.

Lilith was having a great time listening to this conversation. She tapped on the table and got herself a cup of tea that looked clear blue. Taking a sip of it, she felt refreshed and listened to the conversation with renewed vigor.

Meryl still did not understand anything. It felt too complicated. She just wanted to go to sleep, but with such a heated discussion going on, it was not possible.

Her Master wasn't here and she didn't know where to go either. Thus, instead of leaving, she decided to pretend that she was understanding the conversation and continued to listen while sipping on green tea to avoid appearing like a fool. Fake it till you make it, they said. It was to be seen how true this phrase was.

Lizbeth thought really hard about the matters Lith had said. At one point, she was tempted to say that if infinity was multiplied by a whole number, there wouldn't be much change in the sequence. She dropped this idea because her Master had cleverly stated that infinity was going to be multiplied with multiple different things. This meant widespread chaos with incalculable outcomes.

Lizbeth then thought of asking what makes her Master be sure of there being infinite personalities and situations? She wanted the basis on which he believed, but then she realized, if he asked her about giving proof of there being limited things, she couldn't either. She also did not have any means to prove her claims. It was just her assumption.

Lizbeth was having a rough time trying to find a reply.

The rooftop had turned silent, and Lilith felt someone had poured cold water over the heated discussion. To revive it, she looked at Lizbeth and said, "Little girl… situations have limited outcomes. If these are limited, no matter how many times they are multiplied by something infinite, they'll never be infinite as they'll form a predictable pattern, which would mean repetition."

Lizbeth's eyes twinkled and she clasped her hands. "Correct!"

She then turned to look at Lith with much enthusiasm and said, "Master look… suppose there's a situation about…"
