I alone am the Honoured One!

Zhao Tian was quite amazed that the fragmented soul is answering all of his questions and judging by the tone just now, he can somewhat decipher that this soul had a beef with the blood of Maverick.

"You seem to hate Maverick.. why?" he asked, his tone etched with curiosity.

Eleanor cast a fleeting glance at him, her voice steady, almost emotionless. "That's because the first Honoured One was a Maverick."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Tian raised an eyebrow in surprise but then his gaze squinted in understanding.

'The first Honoured One is a Maverick and I inherited through... that bloodline somehow?'

His thoughts spiraled as he pieced together the information 'And this woman said.. her physique is Heavenly One which is contradicting the Honoured One's physique.. which's whole existence defies the Heavens.'

'So, she must have fought the first Honoured One and with her way of speaking.. I am sure that she is as old as the first Honoured One.'

'In short words.. she is my nemesis, so I have to be wary of her.'

The frown on his face deepened 'But she is casually talking to me.. and is evening revealing crucial information like 'Eyes of Heaven.'

'Her sanity is also gone after all these years of isolation in the rupture?'

As he contemplated in his mind, Eleanor's gaze was also fixated on him 'Why does this face seem so familiar?' Eleanor thought, her mind swimming in the fragmented pieces of her memory.

'I feel like I've seen him before… But where? In my destiny, perhaps? Or is it simply a remnant of my shattered memories?'

'But my memories are not clear.. as they are fragmented by the Honoured One.'

'Wait...'

With curious eyes, the shattered soul rippled toward him and mumbled "I sense within thee another bloodline coursing through thy veins."

Zhao Tian snapped out of his thoughts upon hearing her words and responded "I have.. another bloodline within my body?"

'Huh? Maybe my mother is a Maverick.. and my father has a different bloodline?"

Looking at the white energy flashing in front of him, Zhao Tian let out a sigh. "I should be your arch nemesis.. and yet you are speaking to me so casually."

Upon hearing this, Eleanor gave nod "I should be.. I should hate you for trying to defy the Heavens, but I can't seem to hate you..."

"Maybe because it's been so many eons since I met someone and have no one to talk to, I am speaking to you like this?"

"I... don't know myself.. I just..." She sounded almost wistful, as if the centuries had dulled her sense of self, leaving behind only a hollow echo of her.

-_- Zhao Tian stared at her blankly 'No matter what... she is a problem.'

'If I could, I want to absorb her soul with my dark energy.. but even though her soul is shattered, it is on another level, much more powerful than I can handle.'

Eleanor continued to speak "My memories, body and soul have been so shattered that I don't know myself... I don't remember anything."

"I want to get back my memories, body and other fragments of my soul."

As she spoke, Zhao Tian also noticed that she had adapted and was speaking in a very easy way for him to understand.

'Now.. what to do with her? I can't absorb her and she is a threat to me since I am the Honoured One.'

With such thoughts, he slowly sat on the floor and Eleanor also floated near him. "But.. what are you doing in this distorted space? How did you get here?"

Hearing her question, Zhao Tian replied "i didn't come here intently...I just got caught in this rupture."

Eleanor was quite confused to hear the term rupture and asked "What is... Rupture?"

Huh? Zhao Tian was dumbfounded 'Eh? She is inside a rupture without knowing what even a rupture is?'

'Maybe.. in the past, this rupture had a different name? Or maybe that memory of her is shattered?'

With a soft sigh, Zhao Tian began to explain about this rupture "It is a natural phenomenon that rarely occurs in space.. it is like uhm, suddenly the space distorts, pulling you in like a black hole."

"We can't predict when it will appear and if you get caught in it, you are dead."

"I somehow managed to escape the distortion and now we are in the core of this... rupture."

Eleanor remained silent for a moment, processing the information. Then, she slowly shook her head. "Thou art mistaken," she said quietly.

Hm? A frown creased Zhao Tian's eyebrows "Misunderstanding?"

With a faint nod, Eleanor replied "This 'rupture,' as thou call it, is not a natural phenomenon."

Zhao Tian frowned. "What do you mean? If it's not natural, then what is it?"

Her voice grew colder, more distant. "This rupture, you call it as… is the creation of the first Honoured One."

What the fuck?

Zhao Tian was clearly shocked upon hearing this and blinked his eyes in astonishment.

Huh?

"The First Honoured One.. created this?"

As if remembering, Eleanor spoke "Yes... one of her attacks, splits the space bending it to her will."

"It was that attack that made me like this, shattering all of mine and.. only a shard of my soul remains now."

"By what you said just now, it seems like the attacks she imposed eons ago are still inflicting the space as 'Rupture'."

Zhao Tian closed his mouth in shock and let the information sink in 'What the-'

In one day, he heard a lot of useful information about the Honoured One and this one was the craziest of them all.

Imagine the attacks you made eons ago still haunting the people as a natural phenomenon.

But thinking about it, Zhao Tian understood that the first Honoured One has comprehended the space energy to a level where she can inflict permanent damage to the space itself.

'And my space artifact too, she is the one created it.'

'Meanwhile, I can only create storage rings with my level of comprehension... I need to work harder.'

Looking at the white energy, Zhao Tian asked "Do you know anything else about the First Honoured One?"

"Her name.. or how does she look?"
