” Who…Who am I?”
” So painful…It’s so…painful…”
He raised his hands, but he couldn’t see them. He looked around, and he couldn’t see his body.
He could feel he was connected, but to what? He couldn’t understand.
Colorful void expanded and contracted, the darkness danced with flashes of radiance.
However, he felt numb, not because he couldn’t feel it. All he felt, was unbearable pain.
The darkness and light, the dance of infinite colorful strings seemed to tear his body and soul again and again like a perpetual motion machine.
The passage of time seemed to be slowed, he couldn’t tell how many times had passed.
” So much knowledge, so much power…To think my strength was like a drop in a bucket.” He murmured as he looked at the chaotic mess around him.
” Being one with the world, being the one with the power…”
” Assimilate into nothingness and attain the strength…”
The connection with the surroundings became stronger and stronger, as if an invisible power beckoning him into the void.
Suddenly, he felt something, as if a string had been snapped.
The pain which he grew numb, the pain flooded back like a tidal wave.
However, along with the pain also came his memories, his goal in this hellish paradise.
” The string of fate…It’s the string of fate! It snapped!”
” Elder Sister and Rachel…They both met each other.”
” No… I still feel Elder Sister’s lifeforce, she is…alive!”
” My plan…It succeeded!”
” My plan…This…This is…”
” Return…I must return! I know…I know now!”
Suddenly, the light and darkness swirled like a vortex as a pair of eyes opened in the void.
” I am Jun Tianyun, The Monarch of Heaven’s Fortune!”
*BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!*
The heart thumped like booming thunder, the rush of blood like a falling meteor shower. Hands encompassing the stars, the feet crushing the netherworld beneath.
At that moment, Jun Tianyun roared, stretching himself out from the hellish pain. Colorful flames flickered around his body as he kept channeling the Divine Art of Chaotic Flower.
His Yao Devouring True Body was pushed to the maximum. His entire body melted into nothingness and formed once again. Each refinement strengthened his body, only to reduce into nothingness in the next second.
However, the refining slowed as Jun Tianyun endured. He had to endure, as he knew if he didn’t, not even a strand of his soul would remain.
” From nothingness to everything, the birth of Yin and Yang from Primordial Chaos.”
” Heaven above as energy, Earth below as body, Human connecting the Heaven with Earth. From nothingness to trinity, three begets myriad laws.”
” Lightning and Wind swirls, and five elements reigns the world. Life and Death is a wheel, Fate is the string that connects to destiny.”
” I have come so far, there is still so far to go. But I can’t give up, as giving up means giving up my entire reality.”
” All my cycles of reincarnations, this is my only chance.”
” And in this cycle, I have to win…No, I will.”
” Because, I can’t lose.”
Su Qingyao bit her lips in anxiety as she kept looking at the Comsic Refining Cauldron. The moment Jun Tianyun stepped into that, the entire God’s Space trembled.
Cracks formed across the borders, the grassy plains and the starry sky, like a glass orb that was about to crack.
The ground rumbled and kept rumbling, signifying the realm of threat Jun Tianyun was facing.
‘ The spark of primordial chaos, it’s actually just a reflection of the original one. But even that is nigh impossible to find.’ Su Qingyao mumbled inwardly.
‘ Even that reflective wick of flame could start a thousand year bloody war across the upper realm of the immortal world.’
‘ As incredible that treasure is, it’s also equally dangerous and devastating. Only ancient heavenly secret immortal arts could handle such power of flames of primordial chaos.’
‘ But he…’
Suddenly, the cauldron trembled as the engravings on it slowly started to move. The colorful chaotic flames blazed, turning into a pillar of flames that walled the entire cauldron.
The flames parted as a hand stretched out. The palm was smooth and without any blemishes, like carved and polished from the rarest jade.
Slowly, the flames parted as a naked figure climbed out from the cauldron. As he fell on the grass, he curled on the soft grass beneath.
The rumbling of God’s Space stopped, and the cracks across the realm slowly started to heal.
” Young Master…”
” How many days have passed?”
” I have used some of my own powers to slow down the time. It has been a month.” Su Qingyao replied.
” Only 30 days…”
Even if Jun Tianyun murmured, the majesty in his voice couldn’t be hidden. He wasn’t pretending or showing, yet Su Qingyao could feel the vast energy compressed inside his seemingly handsome yet frail body.
” So, Are you…”
Jun Tianyun looked at Su Qingyao, making her half her question.
” Are you asking if I am ready?”
Su Qingyao nodded, making Jun Tianyun smile. Light swirled around him as he donned a divine black and white robe, his hair cascading down all the way to his back.
” I believe I am.”

” Thunderbolt Formation!”
*BOOM! BOOM! BOOOM!*
Lightning bolts fell from the sky like rainwater, blinding the horizon with a golden brilliance.
” AARGHH!”
” DAMNED HUMAN!”
” DIE!! ARRGH!”
The army of monsters burnt into crisps as the lightning bolts bombarded across the land.
” Selene! Now!”
A blonde man with light golden stubble on his cheeks stood in the sky, a golden bolt of lightning flashing in his hands.
” Holy Moon Descend!”
A young woman drew her bow as it arched like a crescent moon. Five arrows emerged in the bow, made from ethereal silver light.
*BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!*
The five arrows shot at the same time, disappearing into the sky. Suddenly, they turned into five giant pillars as they surrounded a giant demon.
” Demon General Kakazh and Neipher, This ends here!” The blond man shouted coldly as he threw the bolt of lightning in his hands like a spear.
” KAKAZH!”
Demon General Neipher felt trapped by the five silver arrows, unable to support his brother.
*CRACKLE! CRACKLE! BOOOOM!*
The entire sky was covered with dark clouds as a lightning bolt descended like a divine spear from the sky.
” HUMAN! DIE!”
Demon General Kakazh raised his giant sword and slashed across the lightning bolt. The bolt of lightning was divided, but he couldn’t stop its advance at all.
*PLUFFF!*
Blood splattered as the lightning charred his head, cracking it like a watermelon. The giant demon’s body fell to the ground, creating a small earthquake.
” ARRRGH! YOU DARE TO KILL MY BROTHER!”
The five silver pillars broke as the Demon General Neipher raised his mace.
” ALL OF YOU! DIE!”
” BOLD WORDS, DEMON!”
A fiery light flashed as a giant axe emerged from the nothingness.
Selene shot another arrow, impaling it on Monster General Neipher’s knee.
” ARES! NOW!*
*WHAACKK!*
The flaming axe descended, slashing the nape of the Monster General. Aciding blood splattered as it fell on the ground, corroding it.
*BOOM! BOOM!*
Arrows from Selene’s bow rained like silver starlights, turning the body of Monster General into a hedgehog.”
” I…I will not…be…Defeated!”
*PIIIIINNNNG!*
General Neipher suddenly pushed his hands into his chest, piercing his ribcage, and pulled out his thumping heart.
” My heart as beacon…I summon…The grace of my Lord!”
Ares’s expression changed as his entire body was engulfed in flames. ” Stop him! Don’t let him do that!”
The thunderbolts covered the sky as they fell on the body of Monster General with punishing might.
Alas, the bodies of Neipher and Kakazh started to glow as both of them turned into a beam of light.
One pitch black, one nightmarish purple, the pillars of light broke the dome of the thunderstorm.
” Zeus! Hurry up and get down!” Selene shouted. ” We need to summon everyone from the Olympus Guild here!”
Zeus landed on his feet as the bolt of lightning disappeared from his hands.
” What the hell is that?”
” Summoning gate…That’s a summoning gate.” Selene murmured.
Flames vanished as Ares walked forward. ” What kind of summoning? Didn’t you say at most only a Lord class otherworldly being can be summoned?”
” It’s not Lord class…” Selene looked at the sky with horror.
” They…They are summoning a God!”
