《CALL OF THE DAO》Chapter 28
Advertisement
In the boat, Lin Feng was having a staring contest with the girls. Their gazes confirmed his suspicions. What he had experienced wasn't a dream. It was reality, but he didn't know as to why he had experienced such.
To him, he had floated in the vast darkness and crushed a pebble, that was it, so what was the meaning of such actions? He didn't know, and he didn't care. The action in itself was bland. It wasn't interesting enough for him to spend his time on it. At least yesterday's night was enjoyable. That was something he was looking forward to experiencing again.
"Master.."
Mu Lei was about to break the silence when a familiar sensation occurred. She was pulled by the void again. She appeared in front of the newborn universe. Previously they had experienced eons in a few seconds. The time taken for the new universe to evolve to the point of supporting life was enormous. Billions of years passed before life started to occur. After life occurred, another billion years passed before they started cultivating. She experienced eons in a matter of seconds, truly a bizarre but spectacular experience.
Inside the universe, in a particular religious-like place, believers were currently praying.
"O great light god, heed the cries of your most devout believers, we beseech you to send us away to fight the darkness that is corrupting the unenlightened ones."
These people were kneeling in front of a statue of an old-looking man with a long beard and hair tied in a ponytail.
They looked famished. Some were nearing the end of their lives. A man was standing in front of them doing what could only be assumed to be guiding their prayers.
"It is hopeless."
The man standing in front of the light believers sighed in a barely discernible voice. Unlike the average believers, he knew the truth of the matter. Their so-called light god couldn't help them. Their prayers only served to strengthen the light god's divinity. The light god could only help them when it came to minor matters. How could he fight the darkness? That was not something a puny light god could accomplish. After all, he didn't control the light either. He only belonged to the light faction.

Suddenly, a bright flash blinded the believers present. Inaudible words of worship accompanied the light. The light shone brightly for a few minutes before stopping.
When the powerful blinding lights receded, a beautiful young-looking woman was all that was left behind, the girl wore a beautiful white dress with black hair draping over her shoulders, the high priest of the light, the standing man, wanted to appraise her face, but his instincts warned him that would be blasphemy.
"The light god has heeded our prayers."
"The light god has not abandoned us."
The believers exclaimed cheerfully while some of them who were on their last breath died with smiles on their faces. It must be known. The believers spent a lot of years prostrating themselves in front of the statues. They prostrated without using their qi. Even if the cultivators had powerful bodies, time was not merciful to them.
Mu Lei was confused by the current situation. What was she doing in this place? And where were Lin Feng and Mei Lin?
[ The ancient one has chosen you to help check a newborn universe, do you accept?]
A genderless voice interrupted her thoughts.
"What are you?"
Mu Lei asked the voice calmly. She knew this had something to do with Lin Feng, so she didn't panic.
[I am the servant of the most ancient one, the great observer is my name.]
Mu Lei could swear she heard some emotion from the genderless voice. Even though it was slight, she still detected it.
"I accept, so what am I supposed to do?"
Mu Lei asked cheerfully. She was a part of Lin Feng's plans, so how could she not be ecstatic?
[ Spread the beauty of creation, let these pitiful beings know the concept of order, give them a choice let them choose order]
The voice informed Mu Lei.
[ Your reward for accepting the great one's quest is the absolute physique]

The voice announced to Mu Lei.
Mu Lei felt changes occurring in her body. Her nascent soul cultivation base was abolished, making her no different from a mortal.
Suddenly, spiritual energy rushed into her body. She didn't resist and let the process take place naturally.
She experienced breakthrough after breakthrough until she settled at the peak of the first order saint realm. This was due to the lack of pure spiritual energy otherwise the breakthrough would have continued.
"The spiritual energy is getting depleted."
The high priest exclaimed in shock, the light church could be called a saint's holy land, the high priest was a third-order saint, so he was able to gather spiritual energy around the church, a commendable feat indeed, but one that took him thousands of years, his hard work could be seen by the fact that the spiritual energy was able to help Mu Lei break to the saint realm.
The high priest stared at the girl who was the apparent culprit and asked himself.
"Is this the work of the light god?"
There was no way the light god had the power to allow someone to break through to the saint realm. This was also impossible, even if said person was in the venerable immortal realm. To break through the saint realm was not something to scoff at, and yet he witnessed a cultivator breakthrough from being a mortal to a saint.
"Does the young miss have any instructions?"
The high priest asked as politely as he could. He was no fool. Someone that could accomplish such a feat could easily handle him should he go off-script. Despite his hard work being used, he didn't bear a grudge. He took it as a blessing. Surely the other party would reward him for his work, right?
"Absolute order!"
Mu Lei answered the high priest, since this was Lin Feng's intention, she wasn't going to hold back.
"Your will is my command."
The high priest answered immediately, though he panicked since this was a direct challenge to the light god. He decided to forget about him after all might makes right, and clearly, the girl had might.
Mu Lei was not the only one brought to the new universe. Mei Lin, too, was in the same situation. Her situation was not different from Mu Lei, though it did have some slight differences.
She was brought to the dark church. The same genderless voice explained to her what her mission was.
[ Spread the beauty of chaos, let these pitiful creatures know the beauty of destruction]
She wasn't given any physique as that would be useless to her. Mei Lin quickly put the dark church in order by flaunting her aura and squashing a few rebels. After all, she was supposed to spread chaos. It was now time for action.
She knew the probability of Mu Lei being in the opposite faction was high. A simple divine scan was enough to prove her speculations.
There was only one problem. She didn't know where Lin Feng was despite a full scan of the whole universe. This knowledge scared her as she had never stayed away from him before since she was created.
[ The ancient one shall present himself when the ancient one wills it]
The voice suddenly spoke up, seemingly seeing through her worries.
Mei Lin calmed down. She thought that Lin Feng had his plans, and they would soon meet after he is done.

If I get enough support, I’ll hire an EDITOR that will look at the chaps with a fresh eye. And POOF! Issues no more. Improved quality. Happier author and reader. Not sure if the editor will be happy tho.— The first three chapters are fast-paced as to quickly get into the nitty-gritty but slow down afterward to give the story the time it needs to progress accordingly.— The book can, never mind, it will contain «strong» language, gore and violence.— Comedy, as you know it (and if you don’t, now you know) is subjective. So you might not like the jokes.— If you truly read that until the end you have my virtual congratulations ‘cause I sure as hell wouldn’t have done that.
