Alioth landed on a planet that had 5 continents, with 4 of them surrounding the one in the middle. The rest of the planet seemed to be made of water, except a strange area on the opposite side that was completely made up of volcanoes, lava, and ash.
He had chosen the continent in the center, and he landed in a forest so as not to alert people, if there were any. After carefully landing so that the past accident would not repeat itself, he examined the area around him.
Seemingly, his senses had increased by leaps and bounds. He could clearly tell where everything in the vicinity was, and he had a feeling that he could do more if he really wanted to.
As he stood there, he wondered if the others had survived. In fact, he had no clue how he had survived, but he had a feeling that it probably had something to do with his newfound strength; after all, he had managed to smash through a planet and not feel anything. Suddenly, he noticed a presence trying to pounce on him, filled with killing intent.
He quickly turned around and sent a punch flying towards the black panther-like monster. The reason he knew it was a monster was because it had a third eye, and two tails. Along with this, it seemed to have been hiding in a shadow.
The moment his fist hit the panther, it exploded. In fact, the shockwave from his fist mowed through the forest and cut down all the trees in front of him. This.. he realized he should've expected it. He quickly tried to take a step forward, but accidentally fell over while making a crater.
After a lot of time, in the middle of a huge forest, there was a crater, filled with more craters, that seemingly got smaller and smaller. Alioth is walking out of the crater, having finally mastered control over his own strength. Of course, this would've taken a lot longer without Pinnacle Perfection.
As Alioth took a deep breath and got ready to try and locate a form of civilization, or perhaps any people at all, he heard a scream, which he promptly ignored. However, he turned back when he remembered his objective was to find people, and that sounded very much like a human, along with which his senses telling him it's a human didn't help.
He quickly ran over to the sound to see some guards fighting a huge gorilla that had six arms. It had somehow gotten itself a hammer and was smashing the guards, literally and metaphorically. They stood no chance. Behind the guards, was a woman, probably around 30 years old, that was, well, decently pretty. She had been the one to scream when the gorilla thing had attacked her.
Alioth decided to save them then ask for them to help him over to the nearest city as compensation. He wasted no time and ran up to the gorilla before calculating the amount of force he'd have to use to kill it; he didn't want to reveal all his power. As he punched the gorilla, he unexpectedly made part of it's body implode. He apparently still hadn't gotten used to his power; just because he could walk didn't mean he could control all of his body.
"Thank you!", one of the guards fell down on his back as he expressed his gratitude. And he wasn't the only one. "Thanks!", "I owe you my life!", etc.
Alioth just calmly looked at them, but inside he was rattled. Seriously, that was like almost 0 percent of his power, yet the thing had partly exploded? However, he still received their thanks and made sure to answer, but he noticed some things before he did.
A guard on the side seemed to be discontent, and kept sending him discreet glares. He hadn't thanked Alioth at all, but instead seemed to disdain him. With this hearing, Alioth could tell that the only sound the guard had made was a "Tsk."
Along with this, he had a few colleagues near him that seemed to share his viewpoint. However, his colleagues also had fear in their eyes; they were all in awe of his power. Yet, the worst one was the woman. When she looked at him, he saw greed, desire, and possessiveness. He decided to stay far away from these people once they showed him some town or city.
"Would you mind if I were to accompany you? I got lost in the forest and don't know where the nearest town is. Consider this monster as my payment." Alioth asked, adding the last line so that they would remember that he had just saved them.
While some guards, namely the ones on the side, just stayed silent, the more amicable ones accepted his request, and one, supposedly their leader, walked up to him and patted his back.
"Haha! Of course, you can come with us! We wouldn't want to be ungrateful to someone who just saved our lives, after all. By the way, if you don't mind me asking, what's your name?" the captain asked.
"My name is Alioth, just call me Al. How about you?" Alioth only asked to be polite, he didn't really care, since he didn't plan to stay with them for long. The guard told him his name was Bohai, and he led the city lord's guards. He had been tasked to protect the city lord's daughter, who was named Bao Liu. She was often spoiled by her father and thus she had grown to think she owned everything. It didn't help that everyone would praise her talent and allow her to do whatever she wanted, either.
Based on this, Alioth could tell that Bao Liu most likely wanted him; she probably was going to tell her father to make him her guard or something. Of course, if this happened, Alioth would just figure out where the nearest city is, and move, since his goal wasn't to reveal his power nor get forced to do work, although he doubted anyone could make him reveal his strength, considering the city lord's guards were probably some of the strongest people in the city.
Suddenly, Bohai asked him a question that threw him off guard. "If you don't mind me asking, what is your status? Surely someone like you has already stepped into the Core Strengthening stage? Perhaps even above that?" Alioth had no clue how to answer. What the hell was this? Core strengthening? Status?
"What is status?" Alioth asked, curious.
"You don't know about the status?! Did you live your whole life under a rock? No, even then, you'd know what the status is! Are you joking?" The guard asked in an exaggerated manner, which Alioth found funny. "I'm being serious. How do I check my 'Status'?" Alioth replied with a poker face.
Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, the guard told Alioth to check his status by saying Status in mind with the intention to see his stats. Based of games Alioth had played (mostly space games), he knew stats represented different attributes of a person, so he had a vague idea of what the 'Status' would be. As he thought 'Status!' in his mind, a stone tablet appeared in front of him. On it were words and numbers, but mainly words. However, the contents of these words shocked him, and proved his theory correct.

[Notes from Status:]
Sorry! I'm so sorry! Please don't punish me! I tried my best, but I couldn't see your power at all! I sincerely apologize, so please don't wipe me from existence! I wish I could quantify your strength, but I can't even glance at a portion of it! Spare me! I'll give you a free skill for compensation, how about that? It'll be a skill you need! Like... well, let me think a bit.
I got it! I'll give you the Disguise Status skill! Yep! I'm so smart! In fact, I'll throw in another skill, that can negate other's skills! So please don't kill me!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alioth stared at his status. The guard thought he was just surprised because he had never seen a status screen before, but the truth was much, much more than that. Alioth almost broke out into tears and laugher after reading the note provided by the Status. It seemed to be scared and had even given him two skills! And what's up with the [Plot Armor] negation? Is [Plot Armor] an actual skill? Besides, he could understand the space one, but time? Wasn't this unfair?
He now also knew how he had survived; most likely, the Perfect Potential was related to Limit Break, and Pinnacle Perfection had something to do with Greater Comprehension. This meant that he had most likely been strengthened by them. He still wasn't sure how exactly he survived, but now his vague idea seemed a bit more realistic.
Realizing the guard was now staring at him, Alioth quickly used Disguise Status and changed his stats. For some there were drop-down options, such as the cultivation stat, while for others you just had to decide a number. Eventually, he finished his fake status and showed it to the guard next to him by thinking 'Status Share', as per the guard's instructions.
The guard almost fainted seeing his stats. What was this? Alioth was at the first stage of the Immortal realm, however, he had stats that matched someone at the third stage! The strongest person in their city was one stage away from the Immortal rank! He thanked Alioth for showing him then quickly ran up to the city lord's daughter and whispered something to her. When she looked back at Alioth, this time he saw the same things as earlier with a bit of trepidation mixed in.
The corners of his mouth twitched as he realized he might have made the stats a bit high compared to their expectations. He shrugged it off, as there was nothing he could do now, and followed behind them, when his senses suddenly told him that there was a huge gathering of humans up ahead. Alioth grinned as he grew excited.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Around the spot where a planet used to be, there was debris from the explosion that had taken place. There were many people, all proficient in the space-law, sitting around a table that was floating. Somehow, this table didn't move at all, nor did the seats.
The people, all well-known on their own planets as the strongest person alive, were currently waiting for the truly strong people to arrive. They were from the weaker planets; as such, they had no right to start the conversation before the others arrived.
Once the people from bigger planets had arrived, they all hushed as an old man walked over, treading on space as if it was the ground. He quietly sat down, yet nobody could take their eyes off him. He was the lead expert of one of the Great Planets. There were only three of them, so nobody here didn't know who he was; Raj, the Demon Reaper. He had, according the stories, annihilated an entire race that had once oppressed thousands of planets. Apparently, he'd managed to barely defeat their leader, and had elevated his planet to the position Great Planet. By now, he was much stronger than he had been before. Rumors were spread that he had surpassed Celestial Emperor, but no one could verify this.
Suddenly, a man appeared out of nowhere, standing on a sword. Everyone simultaneously turned their eyes to the man, who seemed average, but then they all straightened their backs and looked away. This man had a blindfold on and appeared on a sword; who else could it be other than the patriarch of the Supreme Sword Sect, Lin the Sword God. Nobody knew his full name except the elders of his sect. He always went around blindfolded, but it's unknown if this is because he can't see or he wants to hold back in battles; either way, he has never lost a battle before. The worst he's ever done was a tie.
He sat down in the seat next to Raj, and nodded at him. Raj nodded back, then let out a small smile. He had seen Lin grow up, and had felt immensely proud when he had finally reached the Celestial Emperor stage.
Finally, the last person appeared. A woman, so beautiful all the men here didn't even dare have thoughts of her, and caused all the women to not feel jealousy or envy, but rather awe. They knew that no matter how jealous they became they wouldn't even be comparable to the woman, who was #1 on the beauty rankings for the whole universe, and leader of the Snow Lotus Clan. She only accepted females, and had always thought women to be superior to men.
Besides, her strength was nothing to be scoffed at either; Lotus Lianying, as she was called, was also a Celestial Emperor, and was actually nearing Raj in age. The reason she looked so much younger was that her technique improved her looks along with strength. Of course, Raj's technique could do this too, but he preferred to only slow down his aging, instead of making himself look younger. He though it would lend him the look of a reliable elder.
Once they all sat down, the discussion started.
