"* singing * World is full of sorrow and sadness"
"I wonder if I will walk on my own death "
"Wiping my tears off my face , a sinister smile reveled "
"My pain is my own , what do you understand "
" I am not Evil , but only a survivor "
" struggling in the ordeal while embracing calamity "
"My smile is the most beautiful because it's clean and pure unlike you"
" Who hides ulterior motives and schemes "
"I am weak which I am proud "
Walking and singing on the desolate land , a 3 year old boy was showered in bloods and reeked freshness .
He was leaving a bloody footprint behind . His both hands were holding a long sword which were stained in fresh bloods , clear evidence were those dripping bloods from the tip of the edge of blades .
Sounds of footsteps began to clearly resound in silent village located in desolate land , slowly those footsteps began to clearly sound more .
The little kid , turned his head around to see bunch of both adult mens and women charging at him while equipped with weapons .
Their vicious expression were filled with resent , hatred , anger , wrath and so .
"Die you little bitch !!" One attacker attacked at the little kid yet the latter just moved at side , managing to avoid the fatal attack from the attacker.
Raising his right arm up , the little kid thrush his long sword , aiming toward his target's vital point of neck .
"Shrup" the sword pierce through the neck of the target before dying and loosing his life .
Pulling out the sword , the little kid just retreated his steps back and clearly avoided the abuse done from behind.
With that , there was seen a scene where a 3 year old kid fighting all alone with more than 1000 unethical humans who were bloodthirsty for his life .

"Ah.....senior can I ask you what you mean ?" Yao Yu asked while suppressing the terror that her Bloodline was feeling from Beast Shadow.
Beast Shadow sat down on the ground while stretching his body like a wild lion , taking a short yawn he continued " anyway , I don't have anything to do so it wouldn't be bad to relief my boredom by sharing some of my experience and knowledge with you little ones ."
Being called little one by the former didn't enrage or shamed Yao Yu and her subordinates . Instead they carefully listened to him.
"When the universe was born , along with universe , me and other Origins were born too . "
"The commence of birth didn't carried existence called death at the time . Life and death didn't contemporary at the time universe was born "
"At the time , energies were rich and pure , we called it Energy of Origin . In simple Immortality Qi ."
"All Original Existences Cultivated themselves in Immortality Qi and manage to transcend as True Immortal , achieving True Immortality. "
"Those that Cultivates in Immortality Qi can achieve True Immortality , but in latter generation , It was given name -- Dao Lord ."
"But as time elapse the number of True Immortals also kept on increasing ."
"Because of greater powers , a conflict was born "
"The conflict leaded to simultaneous of chaos and destruction. "
"There were those that wanted to rule the world and those that wanted to live in harmony. "
"The war between protector and destructor took place in the history and in the end , this conflict turned into an endless simulation "
Yao Di listened Beast Shadow before hesitantly asking something " than...than senior , which side are you in ? Are you from the one that wants to rule or protect the world ?" Everyone also focused on Beast Shadow , intensely.

If this existence was from one that wants to destroy the world and rule over True Immortals , they will fight till their death .
But if he isn't than they could get acquaint with this Beast Shadow.
Beast Shadow watched everyone's expression before laughing as if he found everything funny.
"Haha....little ones , which side do you think I am from ?" Instead of answering them , he playfully question them.
Yao Bu , stepped forward before answering " senior , if we had any idea of which side you belong to , would we even bother to question you ?"
Nodding his head , Beast Shadow jokingly said " you are right , that makes sense " than he looked at everyone before telling them " I belong to neither side which is why I am sealed in this prison for countless years . "
"Sealed " everyone exclaim in surprise. So this was the existence that was sealed in the Seal .
"Yes , sealed " Beast Shadow nonchalantly told them .
" but isn't it good that you didn't took anyone side ? So why would someone seal you for ?" Yao Yin asked him while secretly chanting something.
No one notice that Yao Yin was secretly chanting something at the moment , not even Beast Shadow .
Beast Shadow laughed before answering calmly "at that time , world had already fallen to the stats where Heavenly Daos almost collapsed and went frenzy , could had resulted in destruction of universe "
"The reason was simple , thousands of True Immortals with True Immortality were rising in each generation , exhausting the power of Heavenly Daos in a rapid speed "
"Destruction was inevitable "
"But in order for new creation , destruction was the only way "
"Heavenly Dao Annihilation took place at the time when True Immortals were everywhere yet even Heavenly Dao Annihilation was unable to kill those True Immortals. "
"After realising the greatest benefit of becoming a True Immortal , everyone began to stop fearing Heavenly Dao after achieving True Immortality. So as time passed , Heavenly Dao restricted everyone , creating Heavenly Law where Cultivators could only achieve True Immortality through going against Profound Heaven's Will Tribulations ."
"So in latter generation , the number of True Immortals began to decrease , in the beginning there were hundreds of thousands True Immortals but now , I can clearly feel it that True Immortals of current generation are very low in numbers while those from previous Eras are same as always ."
*****
Sitting under a tree after a hunting , Ying family members and Sun were enjoying the environment of Beast Lord Mountain.
There were luxuriant grasses everywhere , dancing along with those moving winds .
Huge and tall trees that stood up pride-ly .
Azure sky shading the world , making those under it feel cool sensation.
"You were pretty cool while hunting those Tier 1 Beasts and specially the Battle Formation that you all used to hunt that Infant Stage Beast Emperor " Sun was full of praises for Ying family members .
"The special part was when elder Ying Bao slit those Maturing Stage Beast King's bodies with your sword , at that time I felt like I was watching not an ordinary Sword Cultivator but a Sword Immortal "
"As for elder Ying Bing...I was truly lost because of your graceful and elegant dance..cough *cough* I mean beautiful way of wielding your swords to slay your enemies " Sun was truly feeling awkward when his tongue slipped his true feelings and thought on what he was thinking .
But he wasn't to blame , when Ying Bing moved her beautiful and youthful body while hunting those Wild Beasts , she was like an Immortal Fairy dancing , he could see Immortal Cranes flying in the sky while beautiful butterflies surrounding and teasing her . Beneath her was a huge ocean , on each touch of her toe rippled the water causing a fluctuations.

'Ah...only if she had worn nothing at the...pui * what am I thinking ? I should feel shame on myself for even thinking such a perverted stuff. I am the youngest son of my father . I am someone whose background could subdue her so easily so.....wait... why am I thinking of subduing her ? Damn !! Damn!!'
Sun was feeling conflict in his head . It is all her fault , why did she needed to show such a heart stealing dance while killing those Wild Beast ?
Just as he was feeling conflict , Ying Bao notice his expression twisting . He was sitting next to Sun with his legs cross . He asked as if he was worried for Sun which was true because right now Sun was with them . And if something happened to Sun and Peng Clan were to find out about it , Ying Clan was destined to fall .
"Young Master Peng , it seem like you have something in your mind ."
Sun subconsciously calmed his heart and mind with the Buddhist Intent before replying " thank you for worrying for me elder Ying Bao , but I am fine " he revealed a small smile .
Nodding his head , Ying Bao asked " by the way , may I ask young master Peng , what Martial Art you are learning ?"
"Martial Art ?" Sun was confuse and asked in return " why do I need to learn a Martial Art when I can learn Magic powers ?"
He didn't understand why would he still learn Martial Art when he can learn all those Magic Techniques from Peng Clan ?
Look here , I am not a Protagonist who would waste his time on learning both Martial Arts and Magic Techniques.
Even if I want to learn them , I would only learn both if there is a very easy way to learn both .
It will only waste my precious time on learning both , so why the fuck would I waste my time ?
Ying Bao smiled as if he had read Sun's mind so he said " although Magic Techniques are powerful and destructive , Martial Art is also essential for Cultivation. There will be time when even a Mighty Cultivator would find himself where he can't use his Magic Power . And that is when you need Martial Art , Martial Art is focus on Physical Strength but Powerful Martial Arts are focus both in Physical and Spiritual. "
"Learning Martial Art is very beneficial for a Cultivator because once Cultivator advances to Life Wheel Opening Realm and builds their Immortal Body , they wouldn't be able to practice in Martial Art . While once a Cultivator reaches Fate Palace Awakening Realm and builds their Immortal Soul , they wouldn't be able to practice in Magic Techniques. So before building your Immortal Soul , learning Magic Techniques will help you and let you learn Magic Techniques in the future as well . While practicing Martial Art before creating your Immortal Body will let you keep on growing stronger in Martial Art even in the future "
"Oh , so it's that easy to Cultivate in both paths " Sun said in surprise . Cultivating in those 2 paths were this easy ? If it is that easy , I will definitely practice both .
But it was Ying Bing who informed him about Cultivating in both paths " it may seem easy but in reality numerous masters has tried to Cultivate in both but they never manage to achieve any achievements in their life and had to move forward while choosing only one path ."
"In order to Cultivate Magic Powers , Cultivators needs to Cultivate in Spiritual Qi as for Martial Art , you need to Cultivate in Physical Training "
"While Cultivators who Cultivates in Magic Powers would normally be able to build Cosmo Soul or Astral Soul as their Immortal Souls , as for Martial Art Practitioners , they would normally be able to create Planetary Physique or Star Physique. But those who Cultivates in both has always been only able to create a Pseudo - Soul and a Pseudo - Physique which is why nobody likes to Cultivate in both nowadays "
A light sigh escaped from her soft mouth , Ying Bing truly wanted to witness someone achieving success in Dual Cultivation.
A person who has both Immortal Soul of a Magic Power Cultivator and an Immortal Body of a Martial Artist . How will that person looks like ? How powerful will that person be ?
She couldn't help but admire the person who will achieve such a feast .
Sun notice her bizarre expression and realisation hit him .
'A young maiden dreaming of heroic knight . Pui !! I mean old enchantress dreaming of heroic knight. Yes , yes , that must be '
Sun was secretly giggling in his heart , clearly aware of what Ying Bing was thinking about . If Ying Bing had known what he was thinking , she would get so embarrassed that she would had hid herself in pit .
After a short conversation , Sun told them that he was tired because of long journey they had . So he wanted to sleep . Ying family members set up a tent for him where he slept peacefully . But no one knew that , Sun secretly entered inside Time - Space Realm that existed inside his Time - Space Cultivation Chamber.
The world inside Time - Space Cultivation Chamber was similar to an outer - space . Empty sky with nothing but silver colour liquid like something floating. The land he was standing was a huge bronze platform with Profound Runes.
"Arg *" suddenly when he looked at the Profound Runes beneath his feet , Sun felt as if his mind was nearly broken .
Yet slowly a smile was there on his face .
Bloods began to leak from his both eyes , his mind was nearly perished just because he took one glance at the Profound Runes .
"Dao of Time - Space "
"Fuck !!" He cursed out loud yet not because of frustration but instead because of ecstasy.
You should know that Sun is a Pseudo - Sage Disciple with the Dao Comprehending ability at the same level as a Dao Seeker because of the mysterious tree inside his soul.
Just single glance , all he needs is single glance to learn an Upper Grade Lower Class Techniques while some few minutes to learn a Superior Grade Lower Class Techniques.
Even though this Profound Runes was an extremely Profound , Sun was able to grasp some understanding about Time - Space .
Sun still doesn't knows how to control his mysterious power so he can't use the power at his Will . Just after his mind suffered a small injury , his mysterious power suddenly disappeared as if it was aware that Sun's life would be in danger because of it.
Wiping the bloods , Sun chuckled.
Sitting in a lotus position , he shut his eyes before focusing himself in [ Buddhist ] from Buddha Reign Technique given to him by Yao Yin .
Circulating Buddhist Affinity inside his Meridians , he began to heal his body .
Opening his eyes , he said in disbelief " [ Buddhist ] has lots of Buddhist Techniques and Teachings . I thought with my little amount of understanding about [ Buddhist ] , I at least need an hour to heal my body but who knew even with my small amount of understanding can empower [ Buddhist ] to such a great length "
He has still underestimated the power of [ Buddhist ] even after going through Primordial Teaching. He didn't know but [ Buddhist ] was not something that anyone could learn just because they wants to . It was thanks to his Heaven Defying Ability to learn anything in great degree was he able to comprehend [ Buddhist ]. If not for his mysterious power , he would at least needs 10 - 30 years just to understand even a small fraction of [ Buddhist ].
"Previously I was thinking about learning [ Buddhist ] or [ Sutra ] but now that I have accidentally manage to see through Time - Space Dao , who will be foolish enough to learn [ Buddhist ] or [ Sutra ] instead of Time - Space Dao ?"
"Hehe....manipulating Time at my Will while messing Space at my desire . This will be so fun . In Novel and Anime , those wielding power of Time - Space are always Op and now I will be able to do the same "
He was feeling so happy that he even forgot something very important.
Yes , in Anime , Manga and Novels , Time - Space power wielders are always shown Op .
But where was he right now ?
He was in the world known as Solar Dao Universe .
A world full of hidden masters and slumbering old monsters.
Time ? What was that ?
Space ? What the hell is this ?
Every single hidden masters could reflect or erase his Time - Space Dao .
Even though Time - Space was a very powerful Dao , can they fight against a Superior Level of understanding in Fire Dao ? A Tier 2 Fire Dao comprehension can burn Time Dao of a Tier 1 . But even if both are Tier 2 , there is no saying that Tier 2 Fire Dao can't burn Tier 2 Time Dao . So in this world , having Superior Grade Element as your Dao doesn't makes you Invincible but only little stronger.
Fire can melt Time - Space.
Ice can freeze Time - Space.
Earth can Stagnate Time - Space with power of world.
Stars can devastate Time - Space .
And so , there is only Superior Dao but not Invincible Dao .
Sun began to comprehend Time - Space Dao , forgetting what kind of world he is in.

"Was it alright to use that Divine Power to empower the Seal ? You may have enraged that Senior ?" Yao Yu asked while watching the gigantic sphere formed through lights.
"It is for best . I don't know how long it can stop that Senior from breaking the Seal but at least I am confident that he will at least needs 10 - 12 days " Yao Yin replied solemnly.
In the middle of conversation between Yao Yu and Beast Shadow , Yao Yin was secretly chanting a Mantra called [ Empowerment Mudra ]. This Buddhist Art was type of Art which empowers the wielder's target with their Dao.
Currently , Yao Yin used such an Art to empower the Seal to delay the destruction of Seal to prevent that existence from achieving his freedom.
Yao Yin frowned before he murmured to himself " Destruction is essential for new creation ?" This words were told by the Beast Shadow .
"Let's leave for now "
******
In the far distance away , more than 1 billion Li away . There is a Low Rank Cultivation City known as [ Silver Jade City ].
It this city , there is a restaurant , name [ Bright Moon Restaurant ]. This restaurant is a three storey building. On the top of the building is an open space top. Sitting on one of many chair while enjoying wine with a beauty was a young man .
Wearing a simple and ordinary clothes , eyes were as Serena as those peaceful river . A hint of enlightenment could be found in his handsome face . He has short black hairs with black pupils . With a soft smile , the young man turned his head around to face toward the direction of Beast Lord Mountain before drinking his tea .
"Master Yang , what happened ? " an elegant and noble lady asked softly , respect for the young man could be found in her words . She was beautiful and has very delicate body , only second to Ying Bing. Wearing long green dress , she looked similar to a blooming flower painted in green - full of youth.
"Little Lan'er , it's nothing " the young man name Master Yang gently shook his head .
"Hm...how is the matter between you and that little brat Hong going on ?" He asked the beautiful girl name Ling Lan with full of love and gentleness.
But after hearing Hong Dan being mention by her master , Ling Lan disdainfully snorted " hump* I don't like that lowly birth , how can I the young lady of Ling Family marry such a lowly birth ? This will be disgrace to my status as the young lady of Ling Family "
Clearly , just listening the way she called Hong Dan , Lowly birth , anyone could tell that she disdain Hong Dan and cares about her status and noble birth .
Her master sighed lightly before reaching his right hand to pull an elegant zither that was placed just beside him .
Using Telekinesis , he levitate the elegant wooden zither in the mid air before educating his little disciple who was still immature and couldn't see how world works " silly girl . What is there to be called Lowly Birth and Noble Birth ?"
"There is only Birth that exist and not lowly , neither Noble "
"Status of a noble society ? It is all just because human lives in social. And humans are the one to form unity to give birth to society and the noble status. "
"Until the eponym known as Unity exist between humans , so will Society and your noble status "
"But once it falls down , so will your reputation , fame and position as the young lady of Ling Family "
Ling Lan didn't believe her master's words so she snorted and said "I don't believe that anyone has guts to do so . Who is so bold enough to fight against nobles of the world ?"
"Silly child , don't criticism others and don't look down on other just because of your superiority " Master Yang was still carrying the same simple smile as he did before " there were lots of Nobles and Royalties believing that no one can defy them just because of their Noble Status but what happened in the end ? They all only served the person as his sharping stones while became an example for others "
Tring~
Playing zither , slowly yet very beautifully , Master Yang began to sing " an elegant bird , I saw yesterday has vanish today "
" legends once world feared , died in his shapeless sword "
" he came and left , bringing storm to the shelter while leaving only silence "
" a monarch danced , trampling them who reigned once "
Ling Lan didn't understood even one of his lyric so she was feeling confusion. She didn't know but the song Master Yang was singing was called [ Monarch Peng under bloody Heaven ].
" similar to myth yet not one of them , he was the child of the monster that conquers both sky and the land "
" monarch Peng under bloody Heaven , smiling cruelly "
"He was judging the Heaven and slaughtering the Origin "
"Little Lan , you should return back to residence . I have something important to do " with that he vanished like a wind , leaving no trace of his existence.
****
On a specific location of Dominant Realm , there were lots of Mighty Cultivators gathered .
Even the weakest were Foundation Building Stage while strongest were in Completion Stage of Heavenly Kingdom Building Realm .
There were hundreds of Mighty Cultivators gathered . The location they were gathered was a very special land known as Land of Void , a High Level Land in Dominant Land . Since those with the Cultivation of Heavenly Kingdom Building Realm Cultivators could only gather somewhere where there is very powerful Heavenly Dao power or place where Heavenly Dao doesn't exist !! And Land of Void belongs to latter category.
Yes , in the Land of Void , Heavenly Dao has no influence of it's omnipotent power !!
It is said that , the wife of Lord Monarch Cultivator was killed by the Heavenly Tribulation when his wife was advancing into Dao Lord Realm and was just one step away from Transcending and becoming a Dao Lord -- one step away from True Immortality !!
Because of Lord Monarch Cultivator's wife's death , he grieved Heaven for taking his wife's life . So he fought desperate battle against Heaven !!
Yes , he fought against Heaven and that battle lasted for over 10 000 years !! In the end , Lord Monarch Cultivator used the opportunity he got when Heaven began to show weakness . Taking advantage of such weakness , he stole trace of power from Heaven and became part of Heaven .
The first human , no , the first existence to Ascend as second Heaven !!
He revived his wife and since that day , it is said that no one has seen or met true self of Lord Monarch Cultivator , and only has met with his avatar.
Lord Monarch Cultivator stole trace of Heaven's Power from the land called [ Behemoth Shelter ] and currently that land is known as Land of Void .
And today , powers from different part of Dominant Realm were gathering in order to fight back against the threat known as [ Black Firmament ].
A group of Powerful Cultivators who formed unity countless Eras ago in order to fight against [ Bramha Heaven ] and [ Indra Authority ] .
[ Black Firmament ] is a neutral powerhouse that doesn't belongs to neither of forces which are [ Bramha Heaven ] and [ Indra Authority ]. But even though [ Black Firmament ] doesn't belongs to any of those two powerhouses , it doesn't mean they aren't threat to the world .
But in fact they are more than just a threat .
While [ Bramha Heaven ] believes in saying " I am the High Heaven so everything existing there is my property "
While [ Indra Authority ] believes in saying " My Authority is unquestionable , if I say I am right than not even I can deny my own statement "
While those two follows those concepts , [ Black Firmament ] believes such as " only destruction can bring bright future after a new creation that comes through pure destruction. Sadness and hardship is inevitable if you want your future to be filled with happiness "
And so , a Great War between Cultivators were not that far.....

8 187Fallen
Hundreds of years ago, the servant god Elsyn declared that they would destroy humanity entirely, explaining it as their duty as humanity’s peacekeeper. When the gods saw it fit to send someone to oppose the fallen servant, Iztris—the gods’ own servant and follower—visits Cheryn. Iztris requests the aid of Alyson and Jacob, the oldest two heirs of Cheryn and the only ones given the gods’ offer of the ‘assurance of victory,’ and the heirs agree. There will come a time when humanity does fall—but none of them would allow that to happen by the hands of a being just as flawed as mortals. I recommend reading the story by volume, instead of by the order the chapters were posted. This story was beta read by Mad Sadie. Many thanks! Please note that some characters use different pronouns depending on the chapter’s view and the speaker. Iztris, for example, is referred to with neutral pronouns by Elsyn (in most cases) and themself, and after being introduced as such they are referred to with male pronouns by Alyson and Jacob.
