Chapter 129 - Game Of Deduction

From Aryan's side, he just nodded his head and didn't ask anything, giving Grand Elder the chance to continue further.

"And after you recovered and gained your consciousness inside the Alpha Deity Particle, Aditya brought you back to the real word and laid you down on your bed." After saying this much he paused again, to see Aryan's reaction or clarify any question that he wanna ask.

And as expected Aryan opened his mouth this time, "So, you are saying after I fainted I was taken to his lab and it took me three years to recover from my injury and gain consciousness?!"

"Actually, you were completely recovered in one and a half years, and it took you another half years to gain your sense."

"Okay….. I somewhat understood. I spent three years inside that mysterious particle, and in the real world three hours had passed, right?"

"Yes, and once you gained your sense, I moved you here to the real world." intervened Aditya.

Aryan solved the mystery of three years and his sudden body growth. Since an hour in the real world was equal to a year in the Alpha Deity Particle, so it became obvious that three years inside is equal to three hours outside. 

Now the first mystery was solved, he jumped onto the second mystery of this event.

"Gramps, why did you said that it was planned by you all?" asked Aryan.

And upon hearing that question, Grand Elder facepalm again. He knew it very well that once he started explaining, he would have to explain some side stories too, and side stories inside side stories and so on….

If it would have been something else, he would have skipped some parts and would have finished it like a short story. But here the party involved was his own grandson and that too in a severe accident planned by him and other family members. 

He wanted to give Aryan a proper explanation so that he can live a guilt-free life in the future. Also, it was almost time to tell Aryan about his birth and some things that he must know about him.

Seeing his gramps hesitation Aryan was about to say something when Granny Kotori stopped Aryan and asked him to stay quiet and listen to his gramps narration.

"Lil do you know about the Seven Sages?" Grand Elder opened his mouth, and this was his first question.

"Yes, I know."

"How much do you know?" 

"Ah… Only this much that they had introduced chakra and some new methods of cultivation."

"Hmm… Do you know what happened to them?" Grand Elder questioned again.

Aryan pondered for a while, recollected his thoughts, and posed his theory, "Gramps on the day of my fifth birthday, you told me that the aim of cultivation is not immortality but to understand the profoundness of the universe, as defined by the Seven Sages."

"Yes, so what do you want to say?" questioned Grand Elder.

"So according to my theory, they had gained immortality long ago. In other words, after finding out about chakra energy they used it for themselves to reach immortality, and thereafter they introduced it to the rest of the world."

"Yes, you are somewhat correct…. But what do you wanted to say?" 

"What I meant is they had already gained immortality long ago. So that gives us a number of possibilities. Possibility number one, they have ascended to any other realm. Possibility number two, they are living somewhere in seclusion and have decided not to interfere in this era. Possibility number three, something happened to them, and they vanished from the world."

Granny Kotori "...."

Grand Elder "...."

Listening to their grandson's deduction, they were completely astonished, and to their surprise, one of the possibilities was the correct answer.

"Hmm…. Your third possibility is correct," confirmed Grand Elder. In his mind he was praising Aryan's deduction skill, but that was not the correct time for that. So he refrained himself from praising him at that moment.

After Grand Elder confirmed that his third possibility was correct, he asked them the reason for asking him that question. But before Grand Elder gave his answer, he told him another fact that was quite weird to hear.

"Aryan, do you know that we are the direct descendent of one of the Seven Sages?"

"Yes, I know… What about that?!"

Grand Elder didn't answer his question and instead asked him another question, "Do you know that your granny Kotori's family is also a descendent of the Seven Sages?"

"Yes, I know that too," cause she had told him about her family's origin after the event of the twin dragon grimoire.

"So what about that?" questioned Aryan. It was his first time seeing his gramps asking him question upon question instead of answering him. Normally he would have answered him at once, but that day it was quite different for him.

"Hm… The thing is, none of the Seven Sages had chosen a dao companion."

Aryan "...."

Till now every deduction and possibility was under his control, but this additional fact threw him out of the game of deduction. 

'Wtf!! How can we become their descendants if they hadn't married in the past?'

"Thinking about how we call them their descendent right?" 

"Yes..."

"I don't know what's written in the record is right or wrong, but as mentioned in the records, among the seven sages, there were two sages who played a major part in it. One was the Sage Of Creation and another was the Sage of Spirit."

Upon hearing these two names, Aryan connected every hint and posed his deduction again, "So you mean…. They created their descendants with the help of these two sages?"

"Yes," replied Grand Elder while nodding his head.

Even though he was telling these all to Aryan he himself wasn't sure about the genuineness of the things mentioned in the records. But since the event before his birth had something to do with this, he was stating them all to Aryan for his information.
