"Why?"
"Why me?"
"What wrong did I do against the Heavens to punish me like this?"
A young man with a long black hair and pale white skin asked as he crumpled on the ground.
He slowly helped himself stood up as he faced the great blue firmament.
"You took away my ability to cultivate....then you took away the woman that I loved the most.....and now, you took away my whole family.... Why? Tell me oh great Heavens! What have I done for you to induce your wrath upon me!"
He lamented and shouted, baring his fangs and gritting his teeth. He reached out to the great blue sky, he was hoping for answers, he was hoping for explanations. But...
Silence.
There was no response. He slowly turned his head unto the barren land in front of him. This was the burial ground of his entire family.
Ten days ago, his entire clan was massacred by a powerful clan.
The reason of this was, the young master of his clan accidentally offended a girl from the powerful clan. It turns out that the girl is actually the daughter of an elder in that powerful clan. In a fit of rage, he ordered the annihilation of the entire clan.
Although the young man's clan is a local tyrant around the White Fang mountain range. Compared to the powerful clan, they are nothing but an ant waiting to be crushed.
He was left behind by the enemies as he was crippled and cannot cultivate. He was served as a memory and a lesson to other smaller clans.
The young man didn't actually felt part of the clan as he was bullied by his peers and even his mother and father didn't acknowledge his existence. But as they said, blood is thicker than water. He was accepted as a farmer and they atleast gave him food and shelter. But alas, as fate would have it, his hardwork crumbled and turned into dust.
He slowly turn his head into the distance, there was a big rat and a small rat. The big rat, seemingly the mother of the small rat led her youngling into a hole when suddenly...
Kyauww*
A loud cry of a great falcon was heard. The wind howled as the predator with it's sharp eyes fastly descended and with it's great golden talons took away the young rat!
The mother rat panicked and quickly hid into the hole. When she saw her youngling taken, there was a hint of anger in her eyes but her whole body was quivering.
She cannot do anything against the falcon. she was helpless of what might be the fate of her youngling.
When the young man saw this, his eyes turned watery as drops of liquid drip down from his eyes.....
"We are the same. You had something stolen from you and I have my fate stolen from me. But we cannot do anything about it..... "
Suddenly his eyes lit up as realization dawned upon him.
'I wasn't the only one who is pitiful! Since the dawn of times, stealing has always been in there! The Creator had his first creation stolen from him! The first son of man had his life stolen from him by his brother! Until today, stealing and pillaging is always there! And for the years to come, stealing will exist and shall never perish!'
He closed his eyes as he slowly mumbled great words that cannot be easily comprehend. Colorful dark words came out from his mouth as it slowly circled around him forming a Divine Art!
The words entered the center of his forehead and inside it, a five meter stone pillar is being printed with great words of wisdom and it is slowly lighting up. This was the Dao Pillar of Light. It slowly absorbed the Heaven Earth energy in the sorrounding as the land trembled and the sky twirled around!
Inside his solar plexus, his soul flame is trying it's best to ignite. It is flickering with orange flames. The absorbed Heaven Earth energy is slowly being refined as it formed a mist. The mist then gathered around forming a drop of energy.
Below his abdomen is a barren land, but from a distance, you can see a surging water, trying it's best to fill the barren land. This is the Longevity Ocean. The drop of energy fell down as it filled the barren land.
The young mans eyes lit up with wonderful lights as every hole from his body summoned colorful mighty lights!
White tattoo appeared from his right arm, his skin is slowly being penetrated by the white tattoo as it slowly printed itself into every fiber of his muscles.
His pupils turned white with black outlines. He was slowly changing his entire existence.
The young man slowly laid down in a lotus position as he muttered...
"I, Yang Qi, will soar to the heavens! Will steal everything that isn't worthy of it's fate. My pride is unreachable! My wrath is a disaster! My greed is insatiable! No one can command my sloth, my envy shall be fulfilled, my gluttony shall eat everything that is worthy and my lust..... Whoever I lust, better be prepared!"
Finally The Pillar of light shone brightly! His soul flame aroused! And his sea of power formed a small pond!
Along with the rise of his cultivation, a piercing pain entered his brain. It hurts so much that he wanted to bang his head into the ground. The feeling of ants slowly biting in your brain is a short comparison is what was happening into him. But along with the pain, his facial expressions also changed. Instead of crying, a wide smile is slowly appearing on his face and it turned into a grin.
Flashes of memories eroded his mind. Memories of his previous life appeared and entered the depths of his brain slowly changing his entire self.
After a while, the pain subsided as he stood up from the ground, rubbed his chin, as he smiled devilishly.
"Heh.... Of course the Heavens would punish me... Ku ku after doing such a thing, it is only right to be destroyed by that powerful being." He muttered as he remembered his previous life.
His sin is so great that even that Mighty Being couldn't stop but interfere on what was happening.
"But so what? What can they possibly do against me? Me who even that Mighty Being couldn't remember anymore? HAHAHAHAHA." He laughed ecstatically as he put his hands on his waist.
"Now. I can cultivate leisurely as I ascend back to the starry skies." He looked at the night sky as he was thinking of what the next thing will he do.
Actually, there are so many things he can do. Using the knowledge of his previous life, he can decide the fates of everyone around him.
