'The beauty of the details.'
Noah repeated those words in his mind.
Elder Julia was right, he had been able to accept the positive effects that he had on the people around him only recently after all.
"As cultivators, our lives are very long, commoners would even call us in the heroic ranks immortals! However, we are living beings too, and no living being can keep doing something that it doesn't enjoy for centuries. Tell me, Prince, do you like cultivating?"
That question surprised Noah.
He had never lingered too much on that aspect of his training.
He would cultivate because nothing really mattered if he didn't have power.
His choice had always been between a worthless life and one that could mean something.
Noah answered after a long moment of silence.
"I think I like it. Not strictly training, but the power that results from it."
He loved the feeling of his centers of power growing stronger with each passing day.
He loved the freedom that his power brought.
Also, after becoming a hybrid, he had begun to enjoy fighting more.
He had begun to love when his training gave him the power to overwhelm his opponents.
"Enjoy that feeling, Prince. Cultivating is a journey, not a sacrifice. Learn to appreciate what you have achieved before turning your gaze toward what you want. Once you've done it, you'll be truly able to use your current power to affect the world."
Elder Julia concluded her speech with those words, and she showed a smile before leaving the hall.
Noah left his cup on the mat and closed his eyes to think.
The Divine deduction technique activated again, and the creation of a will resumed.
Yet, there seemed to be some slight modifications from before.
A smile appeared on Noah's face as a feeling enveloped his body and filled him with a dense ecstasy.
He was bathing himself in the emotions that he had felt when he won his first battle as a hybrid, when he fought against Heaven for the first time.
He remembered the joy that he felt in that act of defiance when a transmigrator and a cursed species had finally managed to claim their first victory against such an oppressive ruler.
'I don't care about rules, but I like breaking theirs. Heaven and Earth might suppress my creations, but they would only hear me laugh when I forge a different path.'
Noah felt as if he had found something that he lacked since the beginning of his second life.
'I'm not a machine, I am a hybrid! I've already forged my rightful place in this world when I defeated the Tribulations, I've already proven that Heaven and Earth can't suppress me!'
Mental energy gathered under the surface of the sea inside Noah's mind as the light of the inscriptions on its walls illuminated the ethereal area.
A will quickly formed and rose from the sea only to appear next to Noah's half-transparent figure.
The will had Noah's shape, but its body was made of black flames.
Also, an arrogant smirk was on its face as it floated outside of the mental sphere to land on Noah's hand.
Noah injected his "Breath" inside the will and the flames that made its body flickered before disappearing from his palm.
The black flames reappeared on the couch in front of him, and they soon took the same shape as before, even if some of them had been depleted.
The will though continued to smirk and directed its gaze to the sky, it was as if it was challenging the world to stop it.
Noah stood up at that point and reinserted the will inside his mind.
The translation was completed, he had finally made the Warp spell his.
However, he didn't immediately leave.
He stood there with his cold reptilian eyes fixed on the ceiling of the hall.
Then, a thought hit his calm mind.
'I understand this feeling now. Defying Heaven and Earth is fun!'
