《Celestial Journey》[Overlord]
Advertisement
The sun high, Alexander returned to the sect's leftovers.
Feeling his clones, he was satisfied to see them nearby.
With a single order, a dozen or so beams of light shot out from underground, merging with Alexander.
His soul gaining some strength, Alexander nodded with a smile.
'I should do that more often.'
Looking around, nothing much was left. Some people trying to find treasures nearby. Wanting to find clues, he was about to question someone when a few beams of light approached from the distance.
An hour later, they stopped.
They were groups of powerful masters. An old man in blue robes was in front, shielding a young woman. Further behind the duo, two groups. One was made of three men in dark yellowish clothes. As for the last group, it was a mixture of young men and women.
But one should not judge a book by its cover. The third group filled with youths had only people in the Immortal Sky Realm.
The second group of men was similar, with the bald leader a first stage Greater Existence Realm master.
As for the first group of two, the young woman was a third stage Immortal Sky Realm master and the old man was a second stage Greater Existence Realm master.
Cupping his fists, the old man in blue robes spoke first.
"Your excellency, I am Tuvian and this is my disciple, Flora. Our arrays detected a presence coming from the ground, and after watching its recorded footage, saw you emerge from the Devouring Sect. We were wondering..." Looking around nervously, he could not believe he was about to ask this question.
"Is your excellency related to the Devouring Sect?"
Coldly looking at the old man, Alexander parted his lips.
"I am, but I want to ask some questions. First of, how long ago was the Devouring Sect founded?"
Hearing this peculiar question, old Tuvian was at a loss, but in the end, still decided to answer truthfully.
"Your excellency, my memory might be degrading and my historic knowledge shallow, but I believe it was around four million years ago."
Narrowing his eyes, Alexander stroke his chin. Feeling a beard, he had forgotten about it, but did not act on it, stroking the beard instead.
"I see... I see! So I ended up cultivating for around four million years..."
Gulping, the three groups shivered. The man's power was already unfathomable, making his every word truth and every move irrefutable. So hearing these spoken words, they all knew what they meant.
'Devouring Sect's Founder!'
There was only this explanation, no one else was exuding such a powerful pressure on Greater Existence Realm masters in this world.
"Your excellency..."
"Would... your excellency happen to be...by any chance... the Devouring Sect's Founder, Alexander?" Saying these words, the old man felt like the sky had fallen on his head.
His eyes narrowed into slits, Alexander nodded slowly.
"I am!"
Hearing it directly from his mouth, a scholarly youth from the third group took a step forward.

"Sir, you seem to claim senior Alexander's identity? Do you have proof? This Luo is a renowned scholar, so this Luo knows a thing or two about history. Records indicate that the Devouring Sect was founded by Alexander, an unknown man. It soon rose to power, but barely a million years in and the Founder Alexander entered secluded cultivation... Rumor has it that he perished."
Raising a brow, Alexander wanted to see if the man still had a brain.
"Rumors are rumors and this Alexander is this Alexander. Proof? Why should I give it to you? I've got nothing to prove! As for seclusion... I was already a second stage Greater Existence back then, do you believe a measly four million years to be able to reap my life? Disrespectful!" His aura bursting out, the surrounding world below them was turned upside down, entire plains, rivers and mountains already levitating multiple kilometers off the ground.
Cursing at the young man, the first two groups wondered how this youngster had stayed alive till this point.
Cupping his fists, the old man tried to appease Alexander's anger.
"Your excellency, please do not mind the words of the young. They are crude and unrefined. He has yet to see the world, do not take it to heart."
The young woman behind was shaken. Her master, a ruler of the Celestial Realm, was actually acting so servile.
Leaning next to him, she hushed a few words.
"Master, why are you all acting like this? Even if he is a bit powerful, can he disregard the world? There are many powers he cannot afford to offend, why are you paying attention to him?"
The third group still somewhat close, they heard her words. Many young men and women nodded in agreement.
Who was this fool? The world was vast and there exist countless unknown masters. Even the old man in blue robes should fear the Hyvarus Sect and Dragon Mansion.
Both were hegemons of the Celestial Realm. Both had a peak stage Greater Existence Realm master ruling over them.
Even if this unknown man could contend with one, could he stop two?
Understanding this as well, the old man along the second group of men had ugly expressions. The young, even at their level of cultivation, were still foolish.
Waving his hand, the old man hoped to shake the third group off. As for the second group, they started to drift further away.
Once far enough, the bald man shouted vulgarly.
"Bunch of idiots! So what if he is Senior Alexander, so what if he isn't?! Mind you words when speaking to a senior!"
Shrinking their necks, many felt infuriated from his scolding, a young man frowning.
"Senior Hu is indeed qualified to obtain my respect, but this old thing there does not! Can he fight Hophe Ghylar and Sect Master Ro? I want to see how-"
"Shut up!! You ignorant waste of resources! Don't you have a master? Don't you have family?! Do you want them to hear about your death?!!"

"Senior Hu, please stop with the jok-"
"I'm not joking!! I know that an idiot like you cannot understand the Greater Existence Realm's powers, but still. Let me makes things straight right now to all of you little flowers. This man has surpassed the Greater Existence Realm already!!"
Listening to senior Hu's words, some wanted to refute, but seeing his panicked expression and drenched robes, they were unable to.
Shaking his head, Alexander wondered how these children had become Immortal Sky Realm experts.
'The longer I stay in this Celestial Realm, the worse its inhabitants get. All are so pathetic. This is when shit like this happens that I feel insulted. How can a moron like this have a higher cultivation base than the me of before? Than Qiu Qigang, than his wife Lei Yaling, than Tan Jianghong and so many others? Some cleaning his required!'
Pondering on how to argue back, the third group's youths were discussing silently. Suddenly, Alexander stared at them.
The moment it happened, the whole group felt a hot liquid flow from their faces. But nobody seemed to react. Their eyes were empty while they all bled from their seven orifices.
Barely a second later, all plummeted down below.
Watching this unbelievable scene, even the old man was drenched in cold sweat.
"Your excellency is magnanimous! Forgive this old man for not doing it himself!" Throwing away his pride, the old man simply spat on the deceased.
"Yes, yes! Senior should have given us the order, we brothers are willing to do such a degrading task for you!"
Narrowing his eyes, Alexander chuckled.
"Are you saying I did a degrading task? Was I tainted from it?"
Understanding his mistake, the bald man hurriedly corrected himself.
"No, no... Senior would never be tainted by anything in the world!"
Witnessing four experts act like slaves to a random middle aged man, the woman named Flora felt disgusted.
'How are these some of the strongest in the world? Master... why are you like this?!' She could not continue to watch this embarrassing scene any further, quickly turning her head to the side, looking down. But the moment she looked down, a bunch of corpses were visible far beneath, causing her to stare in the air instead, lest she started to vomit.
"Alright, alright. No need for flatteries, this Alexander has stuff to do, so just answer a few questions and you can leave."
'We can leave? Haha! The world has blessed this Tuvian! What are a few questions anyway?' Already preparing himself to leave, the old man waited patiently but also excitedly for the questions.
"Are there members of my Devouring Sect still alive?"
'Easy enough!'
"Your excellency, there are indeed a few members left scattered over the world."
Nodding, Alexander followed.
"Good, then tell me, from these remaining members, are there some from when I entered seclusion? The first generation ones."
Gulping, the bald man looked back inquiringly to his brothers, but each shook their head.
As for the old man, he was not better off.
"This... Your excellency, I am sorry to say... but I'm afraid to not have such knowledge..." His drenched robes sticking to his skinny figure, the old man felt like fainting at any time.
"Well that's expected I guess, alright you all can leave." Waving them away, Alexander turned towards the Celestial Realm's centermost direction. His figure blurring, he vanished on the spot.
Exchanging glances, the four men and one woman all turned around and left as if avoiding the plague. They did not want to end up the same way as the youths below their feet.
Teleporting again and again, Alexander smiled from ear to ear.
'My Space Dao is back! I'm finally strong enough to tear false space apart like before!' The only problem Alexander noticed was his own comprehension of space to be somewhat lacking.
The space within the Celestial Realm was slightly different than the Universe. It appeared more on the true side of space instead of the false. The difference between true space and false space was incomparable. False space referred to the first or firsts layers of space, as for true space, it was the last layer.
For example, an empty void would be formed and a world placed inside. The false space would be space contained inside this void. As for true space, it was the void's space delimitation. Breaking true space inside this void or world would result in escaping from the void's confinement.
This was the same idea in the Celestial Realm and even the Universe. If Alexander broke or influenced false space, he would be able to do everything one could think of related to space, but only inside the Celestial Realm itself. If he used true space on the other hand, he would directly exit not only the Celestial Realm, but the Multiverse itself.
And tearing apart true space was one of his objectives.
As for now, he could feel his inability to control false space perfectly. He could not move the fabric of space enough for long distance teleportation.
If he wanted to teleport, he simply needed to choose a plane inside the false space, bend it like a piece of paper so that two extremities would touch each other, and then simply poke a hole through both 'walls'. At that time, he would leap through space.
But this lacking control meant he would not be able to teleport too far as well as use much more strength than necessary to teleport. Since both extremities, depending on the distance, would end up much further away than intended, it would then require him to pierce through millions of kilometers of false space.
It was simply not cost effective.

My World To Live
[Do Not Read this version, New FINAL version uploaded August 9th, 2021 as separate fiction, click to link here on RR. Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters both demons and spirits in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who just reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is an abnormal human with elemental powers, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world of magic, danger, mystery, and intrigue. But this not a game. That simple adventure is actually the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tear even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought she was. And not even the gods can change the destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity’s existence. — Fantasy || Adventure || Romance || Action || Mystery || Drama || Science Fiction — The My World To Live (MWTL) series, the alternative short name is Canaan, is comprised of three books symbolically named My World, To Live, and My World To Live. Two years prior, the entire story had been planned and detailed out from start to finish before actual writing. Thus, the story will never be dropped. While the genre is largely Fantasy, the book is comprised of many other elements including a School Life (Magic Academy) story portion. MWTL has a lot of scattered symbolism and allusions, hence, the mystery aspect. The science fiction elements progressively become more pronounced, and the slow romance is a late bloomer. The female lead is strong and independent, and her backstory and identity unravel as drivers of the plot. Expect lots of action/fighting throughout and scattered philosophical and psychological themes arising. It's a human journey to find the essence of one's living and purpose. What kind of world do I wish to live for? Any feedback is greatly appreciated. I hope to share the journey with you~! Canaan's Original and New Covers: If you're curious about my art and the various covers I made for this series and other authors, I have a RR thread that makes free covers and shows art processes. [October 1, 2020 Notice: Hello, I aplogize to all followers for suddenly taking an extended hiatus. Life threw a lot at my face and then the pandemic happened, so I hadn't been able to write until around the last month when I decided to challenge myself and finish the first book in this series. I am ok now, and thank you for your patience and understanding. No words can express how much every reader means to me. RR was the first writing platform that I ever felt accomplished to any small degree, so I am forever grateful to it. Multiples changes have been made since this final revision and writing of the ending, so please see the latest chapter detailing the update. This also includes my decision to submit this story to the 2020 Wattys contest (the deadline was Sept 30th). That means I will not be posting the updated version of this story on here until the contest is over (since I doubt I'll win anyway lol). And so, if you want to read the full, now completed (woohoo!) story, please go to my Wattpad. Thank you once again, and wishing you all the very best health and happiness! FINAL UPDATE, March 7, 2021: The complete story has been re-posted after the Wattys. This version that was on Wattys is the one being re-posted. However, the Final Version (which will be on a separate book from this to remain organized, and is technically the fifth version of the story xD) will be released May 2021. For more information, please read this update linked here. Thank you to all readers for taking this two year journey with me!

Ashen Skies
Father. Allfather. He who was crowned twice. It has been ages since you have ascended. Since you were crowned with godhood for a second time. Since you have left an empire for us to dwell in, to defend. I yearn for an answer; why have you forsaken us! With you gone, your people have grown weak, complacent, and proud. Proud of who they are, proud of their blood. That pride blinds their eyes and clouds their minds. They are fools, for they have forgotten the ways of the past. They have forgotten the fears of old. The one you had to bind until the end of the time. They have forgotten the dark beast with red jewels for eyes. The Wargr gnaws the walls of his cage even now as I write. Itching for the taste of blood. I ask for forgiveness, for until a while ago I too was one of them. I thought I saved your children from the foretold doom. I now realize the hordes of foes we buried were just like us. No fearsome beasts, no harbingers of doom. Mortals of different flesh, different kind. But I am awakened from that dream now. I see it. Every time I close my eyes, I see it. The cold descends as the Dark walks the land, And the crimson stars shine beneath, as the ashen storm claims the realm. I hear the beast roar as the chains of Rukh crack, Only then I know. Only then I realize. That it’s the end. Descend to earth one more time. Save the puny souls that are us. If not, if you let my dreams come true; then will all die under an ashen sky. Leol, a son of Vaella

The Chronicles of Artharian Dagworth
Back in 2020 there were many theories on how the world would end. From the many religions apocalypses, nuclear wars that would leave the planet inhabitable, global warming doing the same, biological weapons getting out of control, viruses mutating into unstoppable diseases to the dead raising to prey on humanity, either due to a virus or just because hell filled up. Also, aliens, from the war mongering kind to the ones so advanced they didn’t see us as more than worms. And of course there was the fail proof theory that the world would end when the sun died. In a bunch of billion years give or take. Althougth some new scientist were discussing if the end would be on the take side, since when the sun started dying things would go haywire on the entire solar system and we would collide with mercury or maybe mars way before the expanding sun engulfed earth. But I digress… Now, those were the mainstream theories that the everyday Joe, who didn’t know the big secret, worried about. So, if you were to ask me which theory was correct I can tell you that I haven’t seen any little green man, at least not from another planet, and so far the sun is still shining, although it’s been only 9 years since everything went to hell, not the few billions (give or take) the scientist predicted, so that one isn’t ruled out yet. These two aside, I'd say all of them. Hey everyone, this is my first attempt at writing. I have been planning to do it for a really long time, and while this is not the one epic fantasy idea I ever wanted to write, I think it's a good one. The plan is to write an end of the world urban-fantasy series. Think a world like Dresden Files, Alex Verus, Iron druid, where magic is real but exist hidden from society meets the apocalypse. It will be written in first person in the Dresden Files style, no plans for other POV for now. As you probally alredy guessed from my style, english is not my first langague, so while google corrector helps, expect grammar errors, and I'd be gratefull for anyone to point them. I plan to write 2 to 3 chapters a week, 2000-4000 words each. Might change as I get more experience and depends on my free time. Cover image from the colections of getwallpapers.com
