Standing over a dismembered body, Sonzai forced his skull to smile before he fell to his knees.
"I have gotten revenge for you father," muttered Sonzai as he looked at his bloodied hands.
Unlike the various stories Sonzai had always heard, he felt great relief and a large weight fell off his shoulders the instant the man before him died.
Sonzai stood up and left with a satisfied smile, no longer concerning himself with getting revenge for his father.
After Sonzai left, a hazy mist appeared above the dismembered body and smiled at the disappearing Sonzai.
"Good job my boy…" muttered the figure.
Looking closely, this figure was also a skeleton like Sonzai, except it seemed like he had glued a black mustache onto his skull.
Ptui!
Sonzai's boney father turned to the dismembered body and spat at it before disappearing.
…
Sonzai was about to jump off the ship he was on and was instead surprised to see a white Fire Phoenix pass right by him.
'What's a fiery chicken doing here?'
Looking at the disappearing 'furry chicken' with a weird gaze, Sonzai turned to look down at his master's women and the two Qing Tians.
"What the hell…"
Sonzai looked on from on top of the ship and watched as Qing Tian entered his body and refined the remaining stuff on his body, the laws, Daos, and Godhood Halos.
'Looks like he's finally going to Ascend…' thought Sonzai as he looked at Qing Tian's body emitting a blinding light.
Sonzai stood still and looked as his master began to slowly float in the sky.
All the energy in the universe converged slowly over to Qing Tian and entered him. Various worlds began collapsing and some solar systems collapsed.
'Every ascension is followed by the destruction of a world…' thought Sonzai, knowing the process of the typical ascension of a godly being like Qing Tian.
Every being that ascends to the God Plane beyond the Void is followed by destruction.
The biggest destruction recorded resulted in the loss of 281 galaxies. That was the record of the Primordial Goddess of Strength. A woman known as the strongest being in existence.
'I'm sure master… surpassed her… already!'
Sonzai felt his body go colder than it already was. He looked over at Qing Tian with fear and quickly jumped off the ship.
If the Primordial Goddess of Strength had caused 281 galaxies to be destroyed when she ascended, just how big will the destruction of Qing Tian's ascension be?!
Qing Tian's strength had surpassed common sense and destroying a galaxy with a single punch wouldn't be an overestimation of his strength. Just imagining the ensuing destruction, Sonzai wouldn't be surprised if even his existence was erased.
"Master!"
Sonzai landed on the ground and he quickly ran over to Qing Tian, hoping to stop him from ascending before it's to late.
"Stop! Master!"
However, no matter how hard Sonzai yelled, his yells were drowned out by the sound of all the energy in the universe converging into Qing Tian's body. Sonzai couldn't even use his energy because even that was being absorbed by Qing Tian.
"Mas…ter…"
Sonzai began to feel funny and weak as his energy kept leaving his body. Looking down at himself, Sonzai could only smile in defeat, realizing that it was too late.
His body, which was only bones being held together by his soul and energy, slowly fell apart as Qing Tian absorbed his energy into his own body.
Clank!
Sonzai fell and his skull rolled away from his collapsed body.
His skull rolled far away and stopped after it was before Qing Tian who had his eyes closed and his body became even brighter.
Sonzai looked on as the woman had their energy taken from their body forcefully and they fell to the floor with dried up bodies. They looked like they were just bones covered by skin and hair as they fell onto the floor weakly.
Soon, the green grass below them lost its life Force as it was absorbed by Qing Tian.
Crack!
The dirt was next and soon began to dry up and crack apart.
It was like Qing Tian was absorbing the very life and energy of everything. The world soon began to collapse and all life on it began to turn feeble.
The light on Qing Tian's body was still weak and it soon began absorbing the life and energy of the entire universe.
Sonzai continued to watch as Qing Tian revealed a look of disappointment on his face and watched on as Qing Tian waved his hands and made six universes come out.
'Are those…'
Sonzai remembered every world his master had been to and realized that they were all there. Watching on in shock, Sonzai saw as his master absorbed the life forces and energy of those universes.
Finally, the energy and life force of those universes filled up the bright light and Qing Tian could finally continue his Ascension.
Sonzai looked at Qing Tian with a sad gaze and turned to look at the hush bodies of Qing Tian's wives over to the side. Instead of revealing expressions of grief on their faces, they looked satisfied as they gazed at the blinding light before closing their eyes.
He couldn't understand why they were doing that, but Sonzai knew that his death was imminent.
'Haa~… it was good while it lasted…' thought Sonzai as he watched the light finally reached it's tipping point before exploding outward.
Wherever that blinding light passed through, erasure of that place occurred. Grass was erased, beetles were erased, space was erased, dust was erased, trees were erased, living beings were erased…
Soon, the blinding light finally reached Sonzai and he watched as he was erased and sent into an eternal darkness.

Snap!
A loud snap woke Sonzai from the eternal darkness and he 'opened his eyes'. He gazed at the blue sky before him and couldn't help but feel like everything he had seen was but a bad dream.
Bringing up his boney hand, Sonzai touched his head and the armor on his body.
He didn't know what to feel and he could only remain on the floor as he looked at the blue sky.
"If you had a body, you would have pissed yourself."
Sonzai heard someone speak and couldn't help but feel like the voice was extremely familiar.
Two shadows appeared over him and Sonzai eventually recognized one of the figures.
"Dad?"
Sonzai looked at the skeleton before him with a mustache glued on to his face in shock.
"Not just pissing himself, he closed his eyes when he died," snorted the other shadow.
It wasn't until the other shadow spoke that Sonzai finally recognized him.
"Master!"
Sonzai quickly sat up and turned to look at the two people before him.
To his left, was his father, and to his right, was Qing Tian.
"Are… you dead too master?" asked Sonzai as he gazed at Qing Tian in surprise.
"Tsk… to assume that I would die," Qing Tian shook his head and looked at Sonzai with a weird look.
Sonzai was shocked.
"You mean, we're not dead?"
"Hm? What do you mean, you're clearly dead," said Qing Tian, pointing at Sonzai's skeleton structure.
"Ah…"
Sonzai looked at himself before turning to look at Qing Tian.
"What happened?"
Qing Tian smiled and said, "Why don't you look around."
Confused as to what Qing Tian meant, Sonzai looked at his surroundings and felt confused.
The 'space' they were in was completely white and only the spot where he was just at was covered in grass.
Looking up at the sky, Sonzai realized that only a portion of it was a blue sky before it suddenly turned into a white space at it's edges.
"I… don't understand."
Sonzai looked around and finally voiced his thoughts.
"This is why you never ascended," muttered Qing Tian as he walked over to Sonzai and tapped his skull.
Feeling the tap on his skull, Sonzai felt like Qing Tian was being somewhat weird.
"Now… look again."
Sonzai didn't think there was going to be a change by just a simple tap on the head, but he still did it nonetheless.
Widening his eyes in surprise, Sonzai felt like he was looking at millions of places all at once. He saw various faces and people in the places he saw and felt like some looked familiar.
"What… what is this?"
"This white space is like a screen that oversees everything," said Qing Tian as he sat down on a chair that assisted out of nowhere. "Here… I see everything that happens."
"This the Space of Omni-Perception?!" asked Sonzai in shock.
Qing Tian nodded and looked at the empty space with a kind gaze.
Following Qing Tian's gaze, Sonzai saw various women laughing and talking together.
Noticing some of them, Sonzai suddenly felt sad. He saw Emily and Unohana in some of the visions and couldn't help but remember their deaths.
"What's the matter Sonzai?"
Qing Tian noticed Sonzai's expression and asked.
"Master, aren't you saddened by the deaths of your wives?" asked Sonzai, feeling like Qing Tian wasn't the master he knew anymore.
"Deaths?" Qing Tian looked at Sonzai's father before laughing together with the skeleton who had a mustache glued to his face. "They never died, kid."
Sonzai frowned and said, "I saw them die with my own eyes."
Shaking his head, Qing Tian said, "No one died when I ascended. The energy that exploded out of my body was changed to Nirvana Energy. Wherever it passed through, it would cause a rebirth. Whether it was a living being or a planet. Everything was healed back to its original state of being before I took their energy and life force."
Shaking his head, Sonzai denied what Qing Tian said, "No! I remember being sent to eternal darkness when the energy came to me."
"Haha! That's because you passed out!"
This time, Sonzai's father entered the conversation and began laughing at Sonzai. He couldn't believe that his own son had passed out when some harmless energy went past his body.
Sonzai revealed a flabbergasted look on his face and turned to look at Qing Tian.
"Heh, I would never harm my wives you idiot," said Qing Tian as he looked at Sonzai condescendingly.
Confused, Sonzai asked, "Then what about when you absorbed the energy from their bodies?"
Qing Tian sighed and said, "You really want to paint me as the bad guy, huh? They offered up that energy themselves. I told them beforehand that I was going to Ascend and they instantly sent their energy over my way hoping that my Ascension goes successfully.
Seriously, I have such amazing wives."
Finally, Sonzai decided to believe Qing Tian and he remained quiet.
"Now… get out of here and go talk with your father," said Qing Tian before pushing Sonzai towards his father before kicking them out of the Space of Omni-Perception.
Standing still in the white space, Qing Tian quietly looked into the white space.
Tap tap tap…
Hearing some footsteps behind him, Qing Tian turned to look at the white haired woman behind him.
"Niirvana," said Qing Tian. "Can't believe you were the system this entire time."
Giggling sweetly, Niirvana curled her lips upward, "Yeah, and I can't believe how you didn't use me at all."
Shaking his head, Qing Tian grabbed her by the waist and left the Space of Omni-Perception with her.
"You know I don't like that."
"Ugh… you and your working hard for your goals. I should cuff you to bed for that.."
"What? No way! I have to meet my sweet Emily today."
***
Sighing, Heaven laid the pen in his hand on the table and smiled.
"Another adventure complete," he muttered.
Closing up the book, Heaven stood up and walked over the door to his right.
Opening the door, Heaven was introduced to an infinite library.
With an unimpressed gaze, Heaven placed the book in his hand in an empty space.
The spine of the book read;
[Traveling Journal Log: 85HI420DIK69
Trip: Ascending to Supremacy]
"Hm… what shall be the next adventure," muttered Heaven as he walked out of the Library and his writing room.
"Daddy!"
Hearing the sweet voice of his daughter, Heaven turned to look at Emily and smiled.
"Hey hun, what are you doing here so early?" asked Heaven.
"Early? It's already noon!" Emily smiled and hugged her father's arm before dragging him forward. "Come on! Let's go already to your next adventure!"
"Haha, let's eat first," chuckled Heaven as he let himself be dragged.
"Nope!" said Emily before turning to gaze at Heaven with a seductive look on her face. "We will come back before they even notice! You just have to Ascend to Supremacy before lunch.
Hahaha!"
"Haha, alright. Let's go on another adventure.
On an adventure of a lifetime!"
