I couldn’t move or speak so I really had no choice but to listen to what he had to say, which was apparently quite a bit.

  “You little brother are the youngest and I’m being told you want a way to gain strength quicker than you’ve already been doing it. I’m sure there is a reason for that, you lost some clan members, or you had to get help from someone else to fight your own battles.

  “Whatever it was, your pride and natural born arrogance has taken a big hit. Not something you can overlook and your wanting for a way to change that.

  “I get it.

  “You are not the first Patriarch or Matriarch to have those thoughts, thankfully there is always one of your siblings around to give you some perspective.

  “You are weak, plan and simple. In fact, every last person in this entire Universe you’ve settled in at the moment is weak in my eyes. If I so wished I could bring death and destruction to every planet here, and I am not your only sibling capable of that nor are Infernals the only race with beings as strong as I am.

  “Do you understand what that means little brother? Until you reach the level that I sit at now, you will always be weak in my eyes. Though since you are who you are and genuinely one of my siblings, then it is a forgone conclusion that you will be this strong as long as you try a little bit and live long enough to do so.

  “But that’s where the problem is huh little brother. The time required. Do you know how long it took for me to reach my current realm? Almost two million years.”

  “That is the amount of time we are talking about little brother. This isn’t about skipping a few decades here and there and even a few hundred years, not even a few thousand. We are talking about a couple million.

  “You have not even lived for a millennia so I do not expect your mind to truly understand the concept of a million plus years let alone 10,000 of them. I will break it down for you.

  “It took me exactly 20 years to reach the Nascent Soul Realm from the day I was born, from there it took me another 100 years to reach the 1st Stage Immortal Realm, then another 100 years to reach the 2nd Stage Immortal Realm. Now this where things start to get a little different brother so pay attention.

  “From there, I spent 10,000 years of my life trying to reach the Domain Realm. After that, took roughly another 400,000 years to reach Dominion, and then a little over a million years after that to reach my current point of Universal Manifestation.

  “Almost two millions years of my life and I am still not at the peak. Even if there was a way to grant you these cultivation realms over night do you think you would be able to match me in power little brother?

  “You should know firsthand, that one’s realm didn’t necessarily mean equal in strength. Yet despite that you are trying to jump forward simply because you have lost a few times or needed the help of others.

  “Listen to me and listen well little brother. You are an Infernal. Chaos follows you no matter where you go and with it conflicts will come whether you are able to weather the storm they bring or not.

  “No matter what it is you do, there will always be problems at your door, this will not be the first or the last time you might have to watch a member of your clan die. That is who we are and what our lives will entail.

  “And if someone does dare to cross us, we make sure to burn everything they ever was into nothingness so that they become a lesson to others.

  “That is what it means to be Infernal, nothing more, nothing less.

  “But there is a small problem there. The conflicts that reach us aren’t manifested from nothing. Things happen near and far and eventually something reaches us, but it is usually from the area we live are located in.

  “Do you think if you never entered this Universe that your people would’ve been kidnapped by someone from that little Kingdom?

  “The answer is obviously no little brother and that brings me to my next point. You left your planet far too early. It was a planet called Earth was it not? I checked and there is still not a single Immortal or anyone close to it on that planet.

  “There are not even 100 Nascent Soul Cultivators on the planet. In fact, most of them have stopped cultivating altogether. You might tell me that an environment like that doesn’t pose a challenge to you, but you can’t cry about not being strong enough when you are the one who left your own home to go to a place where you are now at the bottom of the totem pole.

  “I don’t care what you do, and you free to go knock on the door of a Gods house and tell them to fuck themselves if you so wish, but we are fucking Infernals, we do not cry or weep in the face of death, especially not when it is because of our own actions.

  “We burn it and ourselves until there is nothing left. Such is the pride of an Infernal and it is not something you get to besmirch little brother.

  “And if it isn’t a challenge, to fight the people there, let me ask you this, when was the last time you entered a Dungeon little brother? Have you been in one since you left that planet? I can tell you without a doubt that there are Dungeons on your planet that can pose a challenge to even you.

  “Yet here you are, risking not only your own life, but that of your clan members as well. Again, you are a Patriarch and so you will do what you want but so am I and I will do whatever I want as well, and right now I want to tell you that you’re an idiot and a weakling.

  “And finally that you have three choices ahead of you from this point, ignore everything I just said and go back to Acuva and live as you please. Or still ignore everything I just said and I can grant your wish of taking you to a place where you be forced to stay for at least 1000 years, but time will be accelerated there significantly and you will be far stronger than you would’ve been, but without an iota of battle experience for your level.

  “Lastly, you can take my advice and go back to Earth. Do not even bring the entirety of your clan with you. Leave them here since some of them are strong enough to handle their own weight and allow them to grow and make your clan powerful while you are away.

  “Stay on Earth, make it your own this time…truly make it your own, and explore all that it has to offer, make better connections and do not rush to reach the inevitable. If you are truly my sibling, then you likely enjoy fighting just as much as I do. Do not skip out on all the fights waiting for you along the way.

  “And if there is someone out there who deserves death then they will either die a dogs death before you get to them or will eventually reach a point when you claim it yourself.

  “Do you understand little brother?”

  “First of all…fuck you man.”
