"Not only was this cultivation technique created by the Absolute Being, but it was also forced upon all of us," Shiva continued with a calm expression on her face.
"What do you mean?" Yuan asked, his head slightly tilted with puzzlement.
"Just like how humans are born with the instinct to breathe, every single Eternal is born into existence already knowing this cultivation technique," Shiva elaborated.
"Huh? How does that work? What about the Eternals born after the Absolute Being's death?"
Shiva looked at him with an odd expression and remarked, "Why would you say the Absolute Being is dead?"
"He's not?" Yuan raised his eyebrows, as he'd always had this assumption.
"If the Absolute Being is still alive, why are Eternals fighting to acquire the Absolute Power that he left behind? Surely, they wouldn't be doing such a thing if the Absolute Being were still alive."
"..."
After a moment of silence, Shiva spoke again.
