《The Gods' Decree》Chapter 35 : The birth of a City

How co...could you have devouring black dust in your possession"
The elder who had now come off his pedestal asked the youth before he became shrouded in enigma.
" Hehe.., all will be known in time. Seeing that you seemingly don't have that much, I'll make it a few minutes"
The Mouse winked as he looked at the now lost elder before him. It goes as follows:
During the time of the great war, there were a dozen mortal villages close to the Dark Abylis Sect. They had little interaction with these said villages and just as you stated, had seen them with much insignificance.
The young genius tried his utmost to solve the dilemma that had been folded him. Stumped for the answers he worked day and night.
One day a mortal servant had seen the young master in a state of exhaustion, as he wrote different equations on the walls to rectify the problems.
Seeing his master at work, the servant stood to the side in wait for his master to finish his process.
As he observed he suddenly saw the young master in a state of hysteria as he had seemingly reached his wit's end.
" What is the purpose of creating something that would only cause mutual destruction to both side?"
" Do we really need to sacrifice so many when we have lost even more of our sect members in the previous battles?"
" Doesn't this mean I have failed in my duties?"
The young genius Chung Fu slumped on the floor as he saw his failures all over the wall.
Observing the equations on the wall the servant had a sudden thought but had feared to speak his thought aloud in fear that it would mean his demise.
He finally made up his mind and had a moment of courage.

" Young master this lowly servant would like to point out a seeming flaw within your analysis"
A sheepish voice was heard as the servant's heart seemed to have been beating out his chest.
" Huh.., flaw? what flaw could your eyes discern that mine could not. Do you dare to make fun of me mortal?"
The young genius Chung Fu was about to explode in fury when he heard the words. He already had felt lower than dirt and this servant dares to rub salt in his wounds.
" This lowly one does not dare master, I just realized you left out a human factor"
The mortal had shaken his head in fear and responded promptly to his master.
" The only human factors are us and our enemies. What else is there?"
The young genius became a bit intrigued as he listens to his servant.
" Yes master you have taken into consideration all the human factors regarding cultivation, but what about us mortals?"
An even more curious look became evident as the young genius Chung Fu listened.
" Why would we consider mortals?"
He replied promptly as he had the feeling that he was at the crisps of the breakthrough in this quandary.
" The devouring black dust you created though ingenious, it is a double-edged sword when developed or used by a cultivator"
" You have been trying to rectify this problem by making it more suitable for use by cultivators. This you do through substitution of some of the main ingredients for the concoction.
" It has thus resulted in the failure of the product to live up to its full potential"
" Since cultivators cannot be involved in most of the production process as well as the battle . This, as you wrote, is due to their world qi being basically fuel to a flame"

" Though world qi is all around us, the Devouring Black Dust cannot refine it on its own. Thus the refined version that cultivator absorb is free for the taking"
" If so be the case the best solution would be us mortals as we have no world qi reserve. We are of some use after all master"
The young genius had a look of awe as he looked at his servant. This was the missing piece that he had search for. So simple, yet so very elusive.
He knew this fellow always seemed to find his experiments intriguing but he never knew he was actually so well versed in them.
" Su Chen, thank you for your advice"
The young genius Chung Fu humbly thanked his servant Su Chen first time since he became master.
" Master there is no need for such this"
Su Chen was so shocked but made sure to hurry to his master side as he saw him bowing.
" From now on you will be my consult on various experiments. I've been looking for someone"
Being so elated Su Chen forgot to breathe for a moment before nearly passing it.
" Who would have dreamt that the heavens could bestow such blessing on him"
...
The young genius then had a meeting with the sect head and council where they discuss his daring plan. It was met with objection at first, but as the plans were detailed it was then approved.
The mortals from the various villages were then paid in gold to work in factories that were built in quick succession by the cultivators. Their role was the production of the devouring black dust.
Others were trained in different battle formation and tactic by the generals of the sect.
The final battle took place month later and to the surprise of the Night Lit Moon Sect, they were no longer opposed by the army of the Dark Abylis Sect but mere mortals.
They had laughed and ridiculed just as you have.., only to meet their ultimate demise at the hand of mere mortals.
The swarm of Mortals had unleashed the devouring Black Dust. Just like the sea recovering it's lost land, the cries and screams were heard as the Night Lit Moon Sect members were flooded over.
The dust became a blob that swelled in size the more world qi it absorbed. While inside the enemy became zapped of any energy and thoughts to fight back.
Their agonizing seized when the kill words that were placed on the dust were uttered by Su Chen
"Ora stammer in cammino ed explode"
The words were installed as a means to prevent The Devouring Black Dust from continuing its destructive path.
....
A city was then built for us mortals from the nearby dozens of villages after the overwhelming triumph that was delivered.
A governor was chosen and it was none other than Su Chen. However, his name was requested to be changed to Marvel Chen by his master.
Marvel was chosen due to one thought by the young master Chung Fu. It was to show that even the ones that are seen as insignificant may amount to Marvelous achievements.
Thus Marvel City was born and built around those said factories before. The cultivators had agreed that the city was under their protection and would have certain benefits.
One of those said benefits was every 5th year they would recruit members with the potential to the Dark Abylis Sect.

Drisana has always felt like she's in the wrong place, wrong time. Why? That has no answer. After her parents death, adventure lover Drisana has been travelling around the world to find peace in her heart which has always been missing. But things take a drastic change when she comes to visit the place that her parents belonged to, where she was born. One moment she was in the basement of her parental house and the next she somehow tumble through a energy portal to 5157 years back in time in the Dwapar yug, badly injured, right on the hands of the legendary heroes of Mahabharat, Pandavs. What is she doing there? How she reached from Kaliyug to Dwapar yug and why? Many more things are running through her mind and all she got from the mortal disguise of Lord Narayan, Krishna is, "Tum etihas ka hissa nahi balki etihas rachne aayi ho. Apni vaggya ka racaita tum khud ho. " (You're not part of the history. Rather you have come to create the history. You're the writer of your own destiny.) *********** Familiar with the Mahabharat? Don't worry if you're not. I've added a short description of the original Mahabharat plot in the book for those. This story will follow the original mahabharat storyline but in a vastly different way with a lot of twists and events in my style. 😉 I'm aware Mahabharat holds religious sentiments for some and I do not INTEND to offend anyone. This is for entertainment purpose only. So don't get serious or offended please. And I apologise in advance if you feel hurt by any content of the book.
