"Tip" "Tip"
Sounds of blood dripping from the wounds unceasingly amidst the silence appeared. And with that the final Chaos Devil died with a thunder strike.
'Task Completed.'
'Enemies are eliminated.'
'Optimising the optimum choice.'
'Rebooting the system To refresh the Heaven.'
'System Error 89xxx'
'Failed to reboot.'
'Alert: System Detected Damage in Core.'
'Alert: Attacks are being directed towards the Core.'
"Boom"
With that a world deafening sound came. When the Heavenly dao looked towards the source of disturbance, that is the core of the universe, it had blasted. Soon following this the world also blasted with another world deafening sound and uncountable numbers of planets and living beings died in it.
Far beyond the Horizon a bunch of Heaven realm cultivators at the Celestial Fate realm could be seen drifting across the sky. There were nine of them but each of them exuded a unique temperament.
One of them, The Heavenly Martial Immortal couldn't help laughing "Pft..Hahaha…"
"Didn't expect the Heaven's Dao to be too easy to fool. We destroyed it's core and probably the Heaven's dao, that AI is switched off too." Ghost immortal smirked.
Blood immortal beside him also replied, "Tch. What do you expect? He may be a powerful existence being the only half-transcendent, but other than that he is just a emotionless AI that is just programmed to run based on some rules in order to regulate the world."
Dream Goddess raised her voice, "Right, Once we manage to reprogram that Heavenly dao again, it can become a powerful treasure in our hands."
The phoenix looking sharp eyed immortal Sword Goddess also nodded her head, "Now according to our plan we just have to share the broken cores amongst us and then we will chose to refine it in our own way. After all, we all desire to reach the Half transcendent realm."
The others beside her all nodded their heads, their eyes gleaming profound light of greediness. They all moved towards the broken world to collect the parts of the core.
...
Meanwhile, the Heavenly Dao looked absent-mindedly towards the horizon. Although the core was broken, The heavenly dao is eternal. Unless the core of the world is completely erased, the heavenly dao can't die. He had heard all the words spoken by those Heavenly immortals. Although he lost the AI programmed built inside him, he had somehow gained sentience and is able to think.
A kind of never before felt thing happened. The heavenly Dao felt into some sort of mysterious enlightenment. If he had a face now then his eyes would be closed and he would be in enlightenment.After sometime he opened his eyes in the form of Heaven's eye.
This eye gleamed with profoundness and coldness. His aura erupted from him that could scare away even the Half transcendent realm experts. This aura shocked the nine immortals who were busy collecting the core.
Coldness towards those whom he considered his children, people whom he watched grow before his eyes. Now these people were shameless and had sinfully plotted against him.
Also he felt A bit of pity towards those who died unjust, because due to some bad people, his whole world was destroyed killing innumerable living beings altogether. Heaven could never tolerate this injustice. Life and death were made to be fair as a part of Heaven's Dao. And regulating this fairness was his job which he failed miserably today.
He didn't realise that he already begane to have thoughts and sentience. Hewever due to this gaze of his, the nine immortals realized something. The first to realise his gaze was the Sword Goddess.
"There..." The sword Goddess immediately pointed toward the Heaven's eye. They all realised that it must be the form of Heavenly Dao.
The Treasure Goddess sighed, "Forgive us Father, we had to do this in order to achieve the Half Transcendent realm. If you allow us, please hand yourself over to us so that we can reprogram you into a perfect tool for us. Also we could feel the otherworldly aura from you that a half transcendent shouldn't possess. Did you got yourself into enlightenment and finally found the secret to breakthrough that barrier?"
Others also agreed with her. Seeing this the Heaven's Dao replied with Profound voice "Fools. Scheming against heaven is the crime you all dared to commit. You all deserve punishment."
A vast sea of power burst out from the Heaven's dao. For a second all of them shivered.
Just then Heavenly Martial Immortal noticed something absurd. He noticed a opening in spatial crack nearby. Seeing this he knew what was going on. "Hurry up, stop him! He is going to escape from that spatial crack!" He loudly roared.
However it was too late, The heavenly Dao had no shape nor body. It was just a dao. And in a blink of an eye, the heavenly dao escaped to the spatial crack.
"Sword Of Nihility"
The fastest to chase before it was Sword Goddess. She had attacked a powerful sword technique on it, but in the very last second before it could touch the Heavenly dao, the spatial crack closed itself making the sword technique hit nothing.
"Too late," remarked the martial Immortal. Others too had already realised it but they could do nothing about it.
Travelling Drunk Immortal spoke, "Don't worry I can divine the location he ran to."
Hopes appeared in everyone's eyes. All of them nodded to him.
"However I will need some time to divine it after all he is a powerful Half transcendent Heavenly Dao..."
"Take your time. You must find his location, he must have the secret on how to breakthrough to that realm.." Martial Immortal said to him.
…
In the world of mountains and rivers, a boy around the age of sixteen could be seen marching upwards the mountain to find the herbs he was asked.
After long hours of searching he was still unable to get that herb, he was dead tired at the moment and suddenly he heard the sound of thunder.
He looked above and saw Thunder strike coming towards him. "Mommy Daddy, someone! Please help!"
He jumped up in fright and started running away from the thunder strike down the mountain. However it was but an fruitless effort, the thunder strike still reached him.
"Boom"
He was charred black and dropped dead on the ground. His soul appeared outside his body, but before it could go to its next reincarnation, a heavenly voice appeared in his mind giving him a mouthful of heavenly speech.
The one giving the speech the of course the heavenly dao himself. The soul soon got enlightened and after his enlightenment was done, he bowed toward the invisible heavenly dao.
Afterwards the soul left the world and went to it's reincarnation cycle.
Heavenly dao then locked it's gaze on the body. And went inside it. After some time the boy opened his eyes.
His eyes were round and face was pale white. Hair was brown.'So the continent's name is Deva continent. And looking at his condition, and the bag he was holding is full of herbs, he must be herb collector..' Heaven's Dao guessed.
'I should ask the local people some information about this world and maybe read some books about this world...' With that thought he stood up, and patted his clothes making dust fly from his clothes.
After that he went downwards the mountain with steady steps. The steps that wait for him to make a lengend..
