Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1439

It was a question that had been lingering in Sylas' mind for a while, one that he didn't have an answer to.

However, what he did know was the trigger point.

The Milky Way Galaxy was once known as the Skai Galaxy. There was a number attached to it as well, but that was all but irrelevant at the moment. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

After the All-Seeing Eye appeared, the manifestation of the Legendary System triggered by an item of The Professors of Legacy, things changed. After that point, even the impotent system itself began referring to it as the Milky Way.

Originally, Sylas dismissed this. He assumed that the original name of the galaxy had been Milky Way until the Thryskai laid claim to it, before naming and numbering it.

This made sense.

Until the system started referring to the Sector as the Milky Way Sector as well.

And now, it was calling this Horizon—the name for groups of Sectors—the Milky Way Horizon as well.

Sylas didn't know how far this would go, or what the purpose of all of it was at this point.

It had started off as something innocuous, and quickly became a mystery that left him baffled. But even then, he had so many other things to worry about that this loose end wasn't something he could spare much thought toward.

Suddenly finding out that others cared enough to cross Horizons to come and investigate, though… that changed everything.

That was because this Horizon—or, more accurately, this Sky, the name for a group of Horizons—was under the influence of the very same Demi-God Thryskai Clan that had been completely wiped from existence.

When Sylas got to this point in his thoughts, he became more confused.

Logically, if this Sky was under the control of that Demi-God Thryskai Clan, then it only went to show that this logic should follow much the same. If they had once renamed things here, and were now destroyed, maybe the names had reverted.

But there were two issues with this.

First, the system, as Sylas understood it, was basically a program that cut corners wherever it could. You had to prove yourself to make it waste any of its processing power. That was why Mounts couldn't be used in battle, or why it was so easy to trick, and likewise why it was so infuriated when it realized it had been tricked.

Why would the system waste time flipping a name back to normal when it could get away with leaving it the same?

That was the more complex reason this didn't make sense, but there was a far simpler reason…

If the answer was that simple, and it was a simple name reversion, then the Veil Humans wouldn't be here to investigate. They would have made the connection between the Demi-God Thryskai and the name changes.

Of course, there was the chance that they were lying. But… this was quite a convoluted lie to use for no reason other than to save face and avoid being questioned about why they had come all the way here.

The only conclusion that Sylas could come to was that there was indeed a secret here.

Maybe if it had been before his time in the Golden Grove's Secret Realm, he would find all of this silly. But now… he knew what kind of power True Names held, to the point that it could command the life of someone as powerful as the Duchess' father.

It could be said that if the Duchess never told him her father's True Name, even with his power-ups, Sylas would have been hard-pressed to come out of there alive.
