Anuka felt like reality was imploding on her she had no idea that such laws existed except for fate laws, Geneses, Celestial and Cosmic weren't they just energy sources.
As Anuka watched the pulsing embryos as she heard Samsara chanting.
"Created through Geneses…."
"Forged through Fate….."
"Let the will of rebirth take hold and,"
"Be born in the name of Samsara…."
At that moment the eight embryos began to shift taking the form of people each one with their own distinct features and aura's. At the same time, Samsara's cultivation dropped from the first god realm to the fifth mortal realm.
Soon several bodies formed and began to move around, each one in perfect sync with all the others.
"Ah wow, imagine if we needed number 2, we'd totally be asking to get killed, as if we aren't already in enough danger." Said 14, "That kid would have the entire heaven starve before he's satisfied and we'd have to deal with a revolt from the masses." 14 spoke like it was only right that he was chosen over that little starvation lord.
"Only you can trash talk yourself and feel proud.", said Talen, while leaning against the central altar, it was curious to him that both 14 and Lucian were required after all they could be considered weak when compared to some of the others.
The other interesting choice was Killian even after his revival, he remained catatonic, curled up on the floor without giving any attention to his surroundings.
The rest were from Arodil's time onward, starting with Arodil (The Demon of the END) and three others, including Talen all of them had achieved the state of being an equal of the plain they were born in.
"Hey, 14 and Lucian you'll come with me to universe six." Said Samsara.
"No, you can't go to universe six young master, it's the worst place for you to go.", Anuka said firmly, while she was still confused with what was going on, she knew that the most important thing was to stop Samsara from going to the sixth universe.
"Isn't it the universe of god, how could it possibly be bad for me to go there?" he asked with curiosity.
"There was an incident with a large batch of children that were sent down into that universe and it caused a lot of problems that aren't even fully resolved to this day and it's been almost a million years since then, if they find out that you are a gods child, they will kill you without hesitation."
The gods were not very interested in the lives of their children, so they didn't mind the actions of the sixth universe, in fact, they applauded such behavior, a hard life would create stronger warriors so many gods sent their children to that universe, if they survived then they were worthy if they didn't then they weren't up to the task and they died.
"It doesn't change the fact that I have to go there, there is something for me to do or find in that realm and I'll fail if I don't take this risk," he could feel that pull of fate practically dragging him there he didn't remember the last time he was pulled so hard by fate, ", it will be okay," he reassured her, he could see her worry growing, ", I'll have 14 and Lucian close by in case I need them."
"I have a name you know," cried out 14, "My name is Penn." He stood proudly with a puffed-out chest as if there was no better name in the world, the others wondered why it was necessary to use an ethereal embryo on him.
They averted their eyes, they were insane when they were Penn, and they choose such an embarrassing name for themselves.
"Penn?" asked Anuka still trying to make sense of what was happening, "Like the tool mortals use to write?" she asked tilting her head to the side as if pondering something while her hair fell over her shoulder and onto her chest.
The blood vessels in Penn's head began to pop and he gritted his teeth.
"Here we go again." Said Lucian, an exasperated look on his face.
"Penn means invincible in ancient Darlick, it is the epitome of all awesome names and perfectly symbolizes me, an invincible champion that went undefeated through life, until I committed suicide, but I had my own reason for that so I was still undefeated." Even when he mentioned his suicide, he didn't lose out on any of his boastfulness.
Hiding her shock at his reveal of information Anuka kept a straight face and sighed, "And here I thought Penn meant that you were very knowledgeable, maybe even the greatest scholar in the heavens.", a trace of a smile could be seen on her lips like a child enjoying a practical joke.
"Ah yes, the lady goddess is correct," Penn cried out enthusiastically, ", in ancient Darlick Penn means unmatched scholar it was my mistake." He said with a hearty laugh.
Once more the giggle of the goddess echoed in their ears, but this time Killian moved, his eyes fixed on Anuka, "She looks…. ah… s-s-she feel like.", he reached out a hand as if trying to catch the stars.
"ENOUGH KILLIAN," roared Arodil, ", the past is the past stop bringing it up." Arodil's aura was sharp and his voice cold not leaving any room for discussion, and his other selves all agreed with his decision.
The light which had just returned to Killian's eyes went out and he trembled, "Y-Y-You're right I'm s-sorry.", he muttered and curled into a ball again
"What was he trying to say?" asked Anuka with a frown.
"It's nothing don't mind it he just has a thing for beautiful blonds.", said Penn quickly with his best smile and an apologetic look.
Anuka frown but didn't pursue the matter, "In any case don't you think that you should introduce yourselves, after all, any friends of the young master are friends of mine?"
"We are Samsara." They all spoke together.
Seeing her confused look Samsara explained, "They are all my avatars and they can also act as extra lives for me if the need arises."
"No, I've seen avatars before, but these... all their auras are different, and they each act like a different person."
"Well, we are each based on one of our past lives, one life one person, and through our lives, we've been many people." Talen patiently explained.
Anuka could vaguely understand what was happening, in a few studies done by some bored gods they had discovered that when intelligent beings undergo extended periods of isolation, they can develop split personalities.
Currently, she was observing an extreme of the situation not only did Samsara have multiple personalities he even gave them life; a unique personality was one thing, but unique auras were an entirely different thing. She realized that her question earlier about being alone for so long would make someone mad was an understatement.
Had she not witnessed their creation herself she would never be able to bring herself to believe that all those people were avatars they were all far too life-like.
"Enough of this we should get moving now we've already been in the void for weeks and I'd rather we don't use up all the energy in this little world of ours." Said Mitrax (the divine artisan) he was a burly man yet still had pretty good looks.
"I suppose myself and Arodil will be taking universe 4 and 5 it will be the most dangerous and since we were the strongest it will be best if we go there." Said Talen, excitement could be seen in his eyes as well as the rest an eagerness to experience a world in which they weren't hated without reason.
"No, Talen you will come to universe six with me and enter the immortal realm while I enter the mortal realm with Pen and Lucian."
"Then who will go to universe five?" asked Talen.
"I will." Killian spoke with a bit of clarity for the first time, "I can feel it fate is pulling me there.", he spoke slowly but each word of his was clear.
Samsara turned to Anuka, "I need you to go to the fifth universe with Killian."
"I swore that I would protect you, I swore it to your father on my honor," Anuka cried in outrage, ", I must remain by your side young master."
"Once we leave to re-enter the heaven, it's going to attack me I have enough protective treasures to protect myself from the onslaught, but since you now carry my curse you will be attacked as well, by sacrificing most of your remaining cultivation you can make it through, but if we go together everything will be focussed on us, we'll be dead for sure."
"Besides I need you to take care of Killian for me remember if my main body is killed, all you have to do is bring one of my avatars and they can restore me."
Anuka gritted her teeth and looked dejected but finally accepted after a lot f discussion, Samsara could hear her muttering the word useless under her breath.
He sent two of his other avatars to universe 2 and 3 and then he gave a special mission to Mitrax he had to investigate the problems of the plain, there was a very big problem that none of the gods had even realized.
This universe had experienced a total of 15 shattering's and yet there were only six universes, as the central Heaven of the 33 Neather Heavens, it should have had at least eight universes, with a low probability of ten and yet there were only six.
Before the others left, he gave them each roughly the same amount of Geneses, Cosmic and Celestial energy that he gave to Anuka, which left him with pieces about the size of a finger, it was enough to support him through the mortal realm.
Five portals opened in the grey world, Anuka looked back at Samsara, bidding him farewell before stepping through the portal. One by one the portals closed until only one was left.
"You didn't have to act like such a fool in front of her," Talen chided Penn.
"I just wanted to see her smile, even if you guys don't want to admit it, she does feel familiar." He replied with a smile. Earning him a scowl from Talen.
Samsara looked tired, "That's enough it can't be her she's long dead and even if she reincarnated, she is someone else now."
"Is that why you were so happy when you spoke to her and shared all of that information so freely with her," Penn looked at Samsara, "Even I'm not so stupid and naïve to do something like that if you didn't think she was the same person why would you share so much with her especially the energy sources."
"The past is in the past, it's about time we get moving." Lucian grew tired of the topic he knew that they could argue about it endlessly and didn't want to waste any more time.
