After the cat left, Lumi looked into Himmel Soan’s eyes.

Himmel Soan smiled. “I couldn’t see you clearly at first and thought I was mistaken. I didn’t know the law of nature could become an intelligent being.”

Lumi wasn’t surprised. It knew Himmel Soan would figure out who it was eventually.

Firey didn’t show any reaction either because she wouldn’t be surprised by anybody. The only one that was shocked was Phoe.

“What are you talking about? Why can’t I understand you? What law of nature? Brother-in-law, what are you talking about?” Phoe suddenly felt left out, and she didn’t like that feeling. It was as if she was ignored.

“The law of nature is the law of nature.” Himmel Soan smiled but didn’t explain.

If she could figure it out on her own, she would understand. If she couldn’t, there was no need to explain.

“What? Forget it. I’ll watch Brother Dragon fight! I want to help!” Phoe then switched to her phoenix form and flew into the sky.

She was smart enough to realize it was something she wasn’t supposed to know, so she found an excuse and slipped away.

“If the essence of nature can grow a mind and take a human form, why can’t the law of nature?” Lumi asked.

“You have a point. What do you have against me? Why have you been trying to suppress me?” Himmel Soan asked.

The question had been bothering him for a long time. Why did the law of nature in the Dusk Soul Forest want to suppress him?

If he could find the answer, he would learn the secret of the forest and even deduce why the law of nature in Stelladom tried to suppress him, too.

However, things didn’t go as planned.

“I don’t know. I’m the law of nature, but not really,” said Lumi.

“What do you mean?” Himmel Soan was confused.

Yes, but not really?

That wasn’t the case with Firey.

Was Lumi the law of nature or not?

“Technically speaking, I’m only a fraction of the laws of nature. After billions of years, I grew a mind and separated from it. So I’m not technically the law of nature. As for why you’re targeted, I know the answer.

“No one in this world is immortal. Immortality isn’t allowed,” said Lumi.

It was very clear. Himmel Soan was an immortal, which wasn’t permitted in this world, so he was being targeted. However, since he was so capable, even the law of nature couldn’t stop him. All it could do was suppress him.

Lumi was only a fraction of the law of nature that had developed consciousness. It couldn’t be considered the law of nature anymore.

Maybe one could call it the law of nature’s child.

“I don’t think the law of nature will accept you either. You’re not that capable, but why aren’t you destroyed?” Himmel Soan asked.

The law of nature wouldn’t allow part of it to grow a mind and become an independent being. How did Lumi survive?

“That’s because I can use a little bit of the law of nature’s power. The Dusk Soul Forest is part of the barrier of Stelladom, so the law of nature has used most of its power on it.

“With that main task at hand, the law of nature doesn’t have time to come after me.

“I need to sleep for a long time every once in a while to reduce the enmity the law of nature has toward me. I want to be free of the law of nature and become a real human being!

“I’m telling you this because I need your help!”

Lumi had never told anyone those things. Himmel Soan was the first to learn the truth about its identity because he was immortal.

“Gina is immortal, too. Why didn’t you tell her?” Himmel Soan raised a question.

Gina was immortal, just like him, and Lumi should be able to tell it. In that case, why didn’t Lumi tell these things to her and seek her help?

“Gina… Well, I was dormant at the time, so I didn’t know,” Lumi said lightly.

Himmel Soan frowned. Lumi’s tone had changed. It hesitated.

Lumi must be lying, but why?

“You raised the poisonous mad dog as an alarm clock to wake you up, didn’t you? He should have woken you up when he heard about Gina, even if you were asleep.

“You must know Gina and might even have met her.” Himmel Soan reached a conclusion.

He was right.

Lumi had raised the poisonous mad dog, the unruly dog that had been running wild in the forest. He wasn’t mad. The dog was only naughty. He served as Lumi’s alarm clock.

“You’re very clever. Just as you said, I’ve met Gina.

“However, I didn’t find my hope in her. She should have been able to help me, but I realized she had some mental problem.

“That was why I didn’t choose her,” said Lumi.

It knew Gina was Himmel Soan’s partner and that he was here to find her. Lumi hesitated before because it was wondering if it should tell him about Gina. If Himmel Soan left after that, Lumi might never find another immortal.

But if Lumi didn’t explain, Himmel Soan obviously wouldn’t offer any help. Therefore, Lumi told the truth and waited to see if he would lend a hand. If he wouldn’t, Lumi wouldn’t let him leave the Dusk Soul Forest.

“Mental problem? You’re the law of nature. How could you not know where she went?” Himmel Soan couldn’t believe it.

How could Gina have mental problems? Could Lumi be lying?

“I don’t know. She just suddenly disappeared,” said Lumi.

Himmel Soan couldn’t figure out if that was the truth. It came from the law of nature, and no more than a third of what it said could be true.

Therefore, Himmel Soan didn’t believe Lumi.
