The people watching Arran were the same ones who had been present when he arrived. After a few minutes, the people they had sent off had returned, and they were whispering something into the ears of their various employers.Arran didn't know what they were saying, but he could venture a guess. It was most likely that he and his group had been investigated and the guests in the lounge were being informed of the results of the investigation.When you thought about it, it made a lot of sense. Typically, it was impossible for anybody to be able to investigate the identities of others in the auction house unless one possessed a special identity. For people with powerful backgrounds, it was easy to examine the information of others. This was the advantage of backing. In that case, it wasn't surprising that Arran's identity was exposed... not that he intended to hide it in the first place.Of the group, only Arran was worth these people's attention. That was why, while receiving the report o

Justifiably, Arran was correct. The whole point of stepping into the vital realm was to fundamentally evolve from a mortal being into a higher order of life to become a demi being. Having already broken past the vital realm, Arran was no longer fundamentally mortal.Now, hearing that he was still mortal in some aspects, Arran was rightfully confused. At the end of the day, this confusion stemmed from the fact that he did not understand the realms of advancement in the higher universe.Knowing this, Trapp started to slowly explain to Arran while the bartender cleaned the mess he had made."You're right, fundamentally, you are no longer a mortal. You should know that mortals are one of the lowest orders of life and most species in the universe started as mortals. The goal of training is to abandon our original life orders and transcend to become stronger. That is where the different realms of advancement and strength stem from.""Because various species have different ways of advancing

Arran marveled at all he had learned from Trapp regarding this race of immortals. To him, it was unimaginable that there would be such a powerful race existing in this universe.Apart from the limitation in their lifespan, which when he thought about it was not much of a limitation compared to some other races out there, Arran felt that they were a little too powerful to be real. Right now, he really wanted to meet one of them to see just what they looked like.Would they be like the image of immortals that were popular on earth? Beings that stood more than a hundred feet tall with clouds obscuring their forms and light shrouding them from the eyes of mortals as they stood loftily in the sky, lording over all living beings.Granted, Arran felt his imagination of these immortals was too far-fetched to be true and highly dependent on how the humans on earth perceived them. But it just went a long way to show how interested Arran was in this race of immortals."Wow, for such a race to ex

"Hehe!" Trapp chuckled humorously as he saw Arran's incredulous look. Then he said to Arran."Listen, I will be quick. I never said there would only be one kind of limiter placed on each species in the universe. In fact, there could be different kinds of limiters. For mortals, the gene lock on the body is just one of the most common kinds of limiters.""But there is another very common kind of limiter that mortals have. In a sense, this kind of limiter and the gene lock are usually both present on mortals at the same time. This limiter is known as the mind block limiter.""From its name, it is easy to guess that it is a limiter placed in the mind of mortals. The function of this limiter is to block out the amount of information that mortals can perceive, thus preventing them from prying into the secrets of the universe and understanding its laws.""Are you keeping up with me thus far?" Trapp asked Arran.Arran nodded. he was listening attentively."Good...""We don't have much time le

Turning around and seeing the person that had called out to him, Arran was stunned. He could not help the look of surprise that clouded his face."Brianna!""What are you doing here?"Coming through the entrance of the secret auction and stepping into the lounge was a sweet and gentle-looking girl. Her face was beautiful and her bearing graceful as she carried herself with all the disposition of a noblewoman.Watching this person make her way toward him, Arran was doubly stunned. The face he was seeing was the same as he recognized. It belonged to Brianna, the girl he had met during the chosen ceremony, who would later go on to become a valuable companion of his and one of his very few friends.Ever since they parted ways during the ceremony, since the invasion, Arran hadn't had any contact with her or any of his other friends. He didn't expect that he would meet her in an unlikely place like this.But apart from the face that was very familiar to Arran, everything else about Brianna
