Life Before Becoming an Omniverse Entity-Chapter 39: Why hasn’t he opened his eyes yet

Seeing Renan open his eyes after just ten seconds, Gracen thought, ’Does he have another question again?’ Assuming so, he asked Renan.

Renan shook his head and replied, "No, Father, I don’t have anything to ask."

"Then why did you open your eyes?" Gracen asked, feeling confused.

"I was able to control the mana, so that’s why I opened my eyes," Renan said.

But as soon as he spoke, Gracen’s eyes widened in shock.

"Whaattt!?"

Renan, seeing Gracen’s reaction, wondered in his mind, ’Did I do something wrong, or is he just shocked by how fast I managed to do it? Maybe I made a mistake somewhere without realizing it, or perhaps this is just his natural reaction to something unexpected.’ His eyes slightly narrowed as he observed Gracen’s expression, trying to gauge what was going through his father’s mind.

Gracen, noticing Renan’s confused expression, quickly tried to compose himself. His emotions were swirling, but he knew he had to keep them in check. ’I need to calm down. I can’t lose my composure in front of him,’ he thought. However, his astonishment did not fade so easily. He took another long look at Renan as if to confirm what he had just witnessed. ’To think that he managed to control the mana inside him in just ten seconds… That means he has already reached the normal level of mana control. This is unheard of. It looks like I’ve been underestimating the true potential of someone with seventy percent of Progenitor progenitor. No… not just me—everyone has been underestimating it. But while this revelation is shocking, it is also a blessing, and I will gladly embrace it. And not only that but judging from how quickly he is progressing, I wouldn’t be surprised if he completes my training long before he even turns eight years old. This speed of improvement is on an entirely different level,’ he thought, feeling his heart race with excitement.

The more Gracen considered it, the happier he became, his excitement nearly overflowing. However, wanting to be absolutely certain that he had not misheard or misunderstood, he turned to Renan again and asked, "So, you were able to move the mana inside you, right, Renan? You really managed to do it?" His voice carried both curiosity and disbelief.

Renan, still slightly confused by Gracen’s reaction, simply nodded his head in response.

Gracen, seeing Renan’s confirmation, broke into a wide smile—this time, his joy was impossible to contain. His expression lit up with excitement, his earlier restraint slipping just a little. ’Calm down, Gracen. You need to maintain some composure in front of your son. You can’t be acting all giddy like a child. But still… this is truly incredible. I can’t help but feel proud,’ he thought, struggling to suppress the urge to start celebrating right then and there.

"Ahem!" He cleared his throat to steady himself before speaking. "I see, Renan," he said, his voice carrying a note of pride. "You accomplished this even faster than I expected, which means your potential is far greater than what we had initially assumed. This is a truly remarkable feat. However, don’t let this make you overconfident. Even though your talent is extraordinary, you must remember that we don’t have an unlimited amount of time. The war is coming, and we cannot afford to slow down our training. So don’t grow complacent. Stay focused, keep pushing forward, and always strive for more improvement," Gracen warned, making sure that Renan didn’t get cocky or Relaxed.

"Now let’s start practicing to achieve mid-level control over mana. After reaching mid-level control, we will begin forming a mana circle around your heart," Gracen said, and Renan nodded, still sitting on the ground, ready to begin.

He continued, "To reach mid-level control, you have to do the same thing but outside of your body. You need to control the mana around you, and since you already know how to move the mana inside you, it shouldn’t be too difficult. It should feel almost the same, just with a slight difference. Okay?" he said with a smile, watching Renan closely.

"Okay, Father," Renan replied and thought inwardly, ’I thought it would be hard, but It’s not that hard to control mana. I wonder what level of control Father possesses,’ he mused before pausing for a moment. ’Hmm, why don’t I just ask him?’ And that’s exactly what he did without hesitation.

"Oh well, I have perfect-level control over mana, and your mother has high-level control, which is almost at the perfect level. Your Grandpa and Grandma also have perfect-level control over mana," Gracen explained without any hesitation. However, Renan, who listened carefully, felt confused and asked.

"But isn’t Mother quite talented? So why hasn’t she reached the perfect level while you have? Shouldn’t she be at the same level as you?"

"Well, that’s because your mother isn’t the type of warrior who relies on patience and strategy but rather a warrior who would rather use brute strength every time to solve her problems, and to have perfect control in mana, you need to have patience, which she didn’t have. Even though she didn’t train her control over mana at first, she eventually realized its importance and started working on it later. That’s why I said her control is almost at the perfect level. If she had focused on it earlier, she might have already reached the perfect level by now," Gracen answered, explaining it in detail.

’I get it. So Mother was a muscle-headed woman who would always prefer using her fists rather than talking things out,’ Renan thought inwardly, nodding to himself as he processed the information.

"Okay, now start trying to control the mana surrounding you this time," Gracen instructed, and Renan followed his words immediately, closing his eyes to sense the mana around him.

It wasn’t difficult for Renan to sense the mana surrounding him since he already knew what mana felt like. Controlling it was also not hard. Just like when he controlled the mana inside his body, he succeeded on the first attempt. ’Success,’ he thought as he continued controlling the mana around him. Unlike when he barely moved the mana inside his body, he had no fear of mana rampaging, so he continued to control it.

Gracen observed closely, watching Renan with keen eyes. After five seconds—faster than before—the mana around Renan started shifting, but Renan didn’t open his eyes immediately.

Gracen, who saw this, was surprised again, but this time, he was prepared. ’Amazing. To think he would control it even faster. But why hasn’t he opened his eyes yet?’ he wondered.
