Alon moved while carrying Adam and Helena after he had healed their injuries to a certain extent, now all that was left was for them to wake up.
He left behind the 'art' on display for whoever would arrive at that location while tracking them.
*********************
A man arrived, floating loftily in the air at the location that Alon had deserted. But when he looked at the ground his lofty expression hardened.
"SON!" The man shouted at the top of his lungs while looking at Herrick.
Herrick no longer had any limbs; moreover, a sword was shoved in between his legs with the head of the Golden body expert on the handle.
He was still breathing, but his breath was very weak.
The man had only two options; either he chases the culprits or saves his son. He had come alone because he could not afford to waste any time gathering his men when his son's life was in danger, but now he was regretting his decision.
He picked up Herrick while channeling energy into his body, to somewhat stabilize his condition.
"Send some men to about a hundred kilometers east of the Glory city's city gates. Make sure to have one Nascent stage expert in the group and none should be below the Golden body stage." Herrick's father gave orders and waited for confirmation while rapidly moving towards Glory City.
"Sorry Lord, but none of the Nascent stage experts are free right now." A reply came in about no time.
Though the Lester house had many Nascent stage cultivators, they were all lofty beings who never took orders from anyone other than the Patriarch or the Ancestor.
"Tell them I'll reward them with my Curse Sword." Though Herrick's father was on the stronger side compared to others at the same stage, he could not order them around without providing something.
"The 'Mischief lord' says he will only come if you give him a third-grade recovery pill along with the Cursed Sword." A reply came just about when the Lord reached the Glory City.
In the Lester house, anyone who broke through to the Nascent realm was called Lord.
"He is not even someone of our Lester house but he dares bargain." Herrick's father said in a low voice to himself.
"The 'Mischief lord' says if you don't want him to help he is leaving." A reply demanding an answer came.
"Tch, fine I'll give it to him." He said while clicking his tongue in annoyance.
"I'm on my way, 'Lord'." A sinister voice rang out from the other side.
**************************
Alon changed direction a lot of times while escaping, to throw off any pursuers.
He was moving while only using his physical strength so that no one could track them down by the traces of energy.
Even though he was not using any laws, the natural laws were aiding him regardless.
He himself was confused with the favorable treatment.
Alon kept on moving for a few days because his instinct told him that someone was following them.
Throughout this time Adam and Helena had still not woken up and this worried Alon quite a lot.
On the fifth day of their escape, Alon finally went out of fuel.
He found a small well-hidden cave along a river to rest.
After settling Adam and Helena inside the cave he went out to take a bath in the river.
It was already dark by the time he realized, he felt like it had been years since he took such a relaxing bath, but no matter how good the bath felt he had to head back now.
"They still haven't woken up," Alon said as he sat down between them and channeled the Law of Life.
Though his mastery of this law was only rudimentary, it was much more potent than the Law of wood in terms of healing.
He stopped after a few hours when he felt that they were completely healed, at least physically.
Now there was nothing more he could do other than to wait.
Alon went out of the cave, sat down on a rock, and closed his eyes.
Inside him, eighty-one complete Laws revolved around an embryonic form of Chaos and Life.
Alon was surprised when he realized that the Law of Life was on an equal footing with Chaos even though it was birthed from Chaos.
Inside him, Chaos was birthing Life, while life gave Chaos a form.
In the space of his consciousness, many new laws were appearing in embryonic forms.
Still, the cycle between Chaos and Life was not completed, and soon, to complete the cycle, the Law of Death was birthed, connecting Chaos and Life into an endless cycle.
And with the birth of Death, many embryonic forms of Laws began to decay, while other Laws matured.
Alon looked at all of this in awe.
It was like order was creating itself within him, empowering and growing on its own.
Like the Universe itself.
*************************
In the space as vast as eyes could see, on top of the water-like surface a child was sitting.
He opened his eyes and looked at the sky with a mysterious smile.
"It has begun already? Let's see how you can hold the 'Memory' away from the Universe."
*************************
In utter darkness, a river of infinite colors flowed.
"He is getting strong really fast." The darkness spoke gently to the beautiful river.
The River shook in joy.
Its flow created a piece of pleasant music that even the darkness couldn't help but become joyful.
"The day isn't far." The darkness said in a consoling voice.
The River acted as though it was nodding in agreement.
But it came to an abrupt halt.
And began to fade away from the darkness…
"What?" Darkness called out in confusion as it tried to get a hold of the river.
But it was all in vain.
It was like it was not going anywhere but simply disappearing from where it was.
"NOOOOOOOOO!!!"
The darkness reverberated in anger as it felt the River slipping farther and farther from its grip.
