System vs Rebirth

"There is one relation. And this is probably the reason why your father has been chasing after your uncle."

"Wait a minute. Since we can only produce a single heir, why do I have an uncle?"

"He is adopted."

"…" Noel was speechless. He wanted to refute it, but he couldn\'t do it, knowing what Ardagan said was completely correct. So, he shifted back to the topic. "So, about the relationship…"

"There were only three people in history that managed to wield me. The original owner, her grandson, and you.

"So, your ancestor actually wrote a book regarding your bloodline. And your father knew about it from the book… But your uncle coveted that book and stole it from your father.

"It happened in front of me when I was still sealed away inside the hidden chamber."

"Wait a minute…" Noel gasped. "Don\'t tell me… the reason why my uncle wants to kill me…"

"Yes. I believe what you\'re thinking is correct."

Noel was truly shaken by this revelation. "The Supreme Devil Organization is an organization that wants to destroy this world and ally with the demons. In other words, my bloodline is a hindrance, especially after knowing that I can wield you.

"He wants to stop me from using you. And with this bloodline, there\'s no way my father can produce another heir.

"That\'s why the bloodline will stop with me and the demons will finally have their way and eventually get rid of humans."

Noel never expected that the reason why he was hunted was because of his own bloodline. But he couldn\'t think of any other explanation.

"As for its relation with the spirit position…" Ardagan paused for a moment. "I want you to know that your power has been strengthened by me. As the wielder of Ardagan, your bloodline will be strengthened.

"In other words, if you produce an heir, especially from someone with peerless talent, it could be said that your child will become the apostle of the Spirit God.

"He might be the one that can liberate humans. Even if he couldn\'t, he might become one of the hosts of the spirits whose strength is only second to the Spirit God."

​ "…" Noel narrowed his eyes. "You are not trying to force me to marry someone, right?"

"…"

There was an awkward silence that lasted for a few seconds before Ardagan gave an answer. "Of course not."

"What\'s with that silence?"

Ardagan acted as if he didn\'t hear that question and continued, "In any case, the next spirit positions are the commandants. Basically, they are the rulers of elements.

"There are only six commandants in the spirit world. Fire, Water, Earth, Lightning, Light, and Dark. These are the six rulers of elements.

"I believe you have heard about a few of them in this world…"

Noel paused. As he said, there were many talented individuals whose strengths were completely beyond anyone\'s level.

"By the way, my ancestor…"

"Of course. As the grandson of the first wielder, his talent far exceeded you. He is contracted to the ruler of Light."

"…" Noel narrowed his eyes. "But our talent has been reduced because of our situation, right? How come there are people like Anna and other talented people…"

Noel couldn\'t say he wasn\'t jealous, but he wouldn\'t insult them just because he didn\'t have that talent.

"They are exceptions in this world."

"…" Noel\'s eyebrows twitched as if he didn\'t like the answer.

Ardagan sensed it and added, "However, you don\'t need to be jealous."

"I\'m not jealous. And why do I have to be jealous?"

"If you\'re not jealous, then all I can say is that your child will be extremely talented if you pick the right woman."

"Shut up. Is it because you are a spirit and we are humans that you think we are simply like your pawns and that you can do everything you want for the sake of getting stronger?"

Ardagan didn\'t say anything. He could understand why Noel reacted so strongly. He doubted the spirits previously after all.

"Do you think I\'ll sacrifice everything just for your sake? I—"

Before Noel continued, Ardagan interjected him with a solution. "Of course. You are my host. I know how you feel and what you want. That\'s why I\'m telling you this. Becoming my wielder comes with a benefit.

"Not only can you have two spirits in your body, but I can also use your blood to help the other spirit. This way, you will get the perfect conversion rate.

"And instead of letting your child do it, I know that you are the type to deal with it yourself. That\'s why I\'m going to tell you this.

"I have a way to make you stronger. You should be able to at least reach your ancestor\'s level in the future with my help."

Noel furrowed his eyebrows. "My ancestor\'s level? That\'s definitely tempting, but you should know that even he couldn\'t do anything against the demons. The demons are still in this world and we would have to live in this cursed world."

"That\'s why I\'m proposing this second idea to you. I can only tell you this after informing you about the spirit positions."

"!!!" Noel suddenly stopped as if he understood what he wanted to say. "Don\'t tell me…"

"Yes. Your ancestor\'s talent allowed him to get the Ruler of Light. Talent might be determined at birth, but the end goal is not. That\'s why I\'m going to propose this.

"You can surpass your ancestor with my help. We are going to make your spirit, Heisk, become the Ruler of Water or even beyond that!"
