Chapter 707 Keeper Of Secrets.

ƥandasnovel·ƈom 

The current problem that Soverick is facing can be traced back to her, which in turn can be traced back to the era of transcendents. She is of the same generation as the first sage and was supposed to become the child of the plane. She lost that opportunity because she was cheated out of it. Even more, she was cheated out of the glory for her hard work and contribution too. It has made her very bitter.

Everyone knows the first sage and respects the sages. History states that the first sage led the battle sage monkey to glory. History is accurate, but it didn't mention her efforts toward the victory that they acquired. All the sages shed blood and tears to make the battle sage monkeys what they are today. That much is true, but there are some exceptional sages who went beyond the norm and did exceptional monumental feats. 

There are very few exceptional sages. She is one of those sages just like the first sage, and she did just as much work as he did, if not more, in securing the victory of the battle sage monkeys. All she wanted was at least equal recognition. That's the least that she deserved. Unfortunately, she didn't get it.

The first sage could see the future and predict outcomes. He was always on the front lines in every battle, so he was given the title of battle sage. His tricks, plans, schemes, and battle prowess were instrumental in giving the battle sages monkeys their victories. He led them to victory despite overwhelming odds.

She, on the other hand, was more of a backstage actor. She didn't follow the original path of their divine ability like the first sage. Her bloodline had a slight mutation that became the foundation for the creation of the bloodline of secrets. Her divine ability made others call her the keeper of secrets.

She couldn't see the future like the first sage. Her ability allowed her to recognize truth and lies. She can identify the purpose of a thing just by looking at it, and she can see the secrets that people are hiding. 

Her ability is not as flashy as that of the first sage, and it didn't help her battle prowess, but it made her a seer. She was so good that the best strategists came to her for help. She was the informant that provided some of the information that the sage used to make battle plans. He didn't need her, but her help let him create perfect plans.

They say that seeing is deceiving. It means that what you see can deceive you. The fact that the first sage can see something before it happens doesn't mean he knows what it means. He can see how a rock will settle if it is rolled from the top of a mountain down to its base. He will tell you the path it will take and everything it will collide with even before the rock is pushed. 

That is impressive, but the first sage doesn't know what the rock truly is. It looks like a rock, but it is actually the egg of a dragon encapsulated in a layer of stone. She can see it to be what it is. That's her gift. Her knowledge will prevent the sage from doing something stupid as rolling a dragon's egg.I think you should take a look at pandasnovel.com

The first sage came to her for advice on several occasions for her knowledge. Her identification skills helped her in creating the first mana weapon in the entire plane. That gave the battle sage monkeys a fighting chance to defend themselves from the Vipers. She was the one that identified how to kill the paragons of the Virut plane. 

She was also the one that identified the weaknesses of the Vipers and their place of hiding when their empire fell. Her contribution led to the defeat and complete eradication of the Vipers. How can seeing the future help with locating the hidden sanctuaries of people? It was her that could point out the hidden pockets of Vipers living in secrecy. It is not an easy thing to wipe out an entire race down to the last one. Some might even say it is impossible. But she did it.

She did all that and more, but she wasn't given credit for it. Everyone praised the one that was always at the front lines. He was the one they saw. He led them to battle, so they attributed their victories to him. That is not his fault, but he didn't correct them or mention her contributions.

The least he could have done is to mention her and what she did. He would always give speeches thanking all the sages for their contributions, but he would never mention her specifically. So the people thought he was just being humble and never thought highly of other sages. 

The sage forced her into being perceived as mediocre by lumping her together with the other sages. Only the select few that were in the know, like the other sages, appreciated her for creating the weapons that vanquished their oppressors. She didn't mind that. She was content with being hidden and guiding the race from the shadows. That changed when the first sage was appointed the child of the plane for his contributions to the plane.

How does one become the child of the plane? You contribute enough to the plane and change its fate significantly. You also have to be very capable and strong. That was an unknown knowledge in the era of transcendents. Another unknown knowledge at that time is how to kill a dragon.

The gate of the plane is always opened during the era of transcendents. Once the gate has been opened, mana comes in and renders the origin waters obsolete. The plane gains access to the ancient battlefield, and transcendents gain access to Origin energy that can be found there. And just like any gate that opens, access is both ways. Other races also gain access to your plane. It eventually stops being your plane if you can't defend it from those that want to take it from you.
