James was able to make those deductions after having observed his surroundings and the state of the universe.
“It’s because we want to survive, obviously.” Leif decided to be forthcoming.
James was already allowed to roam their universe freely. Leif knew the man could always find out what he was about to share by asking the other inhabitants in their universe.
“Have you ever heard of the Aeternus District?” Leif asked.
James nodded. He had just read about the Endlosʼ Nine Districts from the book earlier. The Aeternus District was listed as one of these nine districts.
Leif explained, “The Aeternus District is one of the nine districts that comprise Endlos. Although it has the lowest rank among the other districts, they’re still a force to be reckoned with. Unfortunately, a civil war broke out there, and their district leader was murdered. In order to survive, we rescued the saintess and fled from our homes. We’ve been on the run ever since.”
“By saintess, do you mean Ms. Saachi?” James asked.
“Yes.” Leif continued, “Ms. Saachi is the district leaderʼs daughter and the Aeternus Districtʼs saintess. After our district leader was murdered, the other forces and several organizations wanted the same fate for her too. We barely made it out of the Aeternus District back then and finally settled in this area of the Endlos Void.”
James was not planning on getting involved in the matters of the Aeternus District. However, fate seemed to push him toward the center of a huge conflict happening in the Endlos.
Lief went on to explain, “The other major forces and organizations are constantly trying to eliminate the saintess because of her unique abilities. Once the saintessʼ abilities fully develop, she’d be virtually invincible. She’d become one of the top cultivators among the Endlosʼ Nine Districts.”
