-Present
Hou Zhi died and his story ended. Or that was supposed to happen. But something strange happened and…
"Where am I? Am I not already dead?". Hou Zhi Said.
Moments ago Hou Zhi was dead. No, that's not right because, in fact, he is dead. But something happened. When he died his soul seems that was transported to the place where he is now.
He was staring, he tried to feel his body or to try to hear anything about where he was. And then he thought. "Did I finally lost the rest of senses?".
That would be horrible but he finally discard that tough when he realized something. He can't speak even if he lost his hearing, he would be able to feel his own tongue, because if he lost his touch he will die. Lost his touch completely mean that his nervous system stop working, that means the dead.
Even if he could be alive after that he installed a device that will kill him. Because living without senses is the same to die, and now it looks that he was right.
"Ah? Why I'm feeling so tired, yawn ". But at the moment that he was about to sleep, he felt an incredible sense of danger so he diced to be awake at all costs.
….
In a place where time and space never existed, a place where even life and death, or the destiny itself doesn't matter at all, a place that doesn't Exist Itself. That place is the Emptiness. A 'place' where nothing Exist, Existed or Will Exist. A place where all in existence is Doomed to be reduced to nothing.
In such impossible place, There was a soul.
This was Hou Zhi, and his soul, that looks like a White Mist, was about to be erased from the existence.
Hou Zhi's soul was being disintegrated gradually, while he was fighting to stay conscious.
After an unknown amount of time his soul finally was erased.
But after his soul was erased and returned to nothing Hou Zhi feel like everything stops, that nothing matters, that all is irrelevant in front of the emptiness and all in the existence is destined to return to nothing.
These thoughts almost made him crazy, but he was decided to sane and survive, and his most primitive instinct say him that he can.
It may be a minute or maybe countless eons, but his conscience was gradually merging in the emptiness. An impossible task that should be impossible, even if in the emptiness the impossibility doesn't exist.
then in his consciousness on the brink of madness, Hou Zhi had an idea.
He begin to imagine. All that we see is just an illusion that universe show to us through the light, they are a lot of things we can't see with our eyes and all things see the universe differently.
Even time is relative, the universe doesn't measure the time, The living things do it, the Day and Night would be less than a second for a star or a planet. Even space is something that we perceive different depending on the size, the world that we see is not the same that a mouse or an ant see.
So he began to imagine in his mind, Time, Space, All that he can imagine and everything he could think of.
And when he finish to imagine all, he opened his 'eyes'. Unfortunately at the moment he opened his eyes, all return to nothing. But in the emptiness, a fluctuation appear, and two eyes appear on the Emptiness.
his eyes that where a mere illusion that doesn't exist in reality where projected in the emptiness and Hou Zhi finally could see.
In the emptiness where nothing exist, Without Time, Space, or Destiny , a pair of eyes appeared, there where in borderline of existence and nonexistence.
He can see that in the emptiness where nothing exists, everything was born. The whole existence was projected in his eyes, all in existence born in the emptiness and all should return to it. Because If there is a Place where Nothing Exists or will Ever Exist, Even the Emptiness itself. Then There is a Place where Everything exists, even the Nonexistence.
All the Truth was showed in his eyes that where changing colors frenetically.
And then, a soul were born from the Nonexistence.
That was Hou Zhi.
In the moment the soul appeared from nothing, it was transported from the Emptiness to the Existence.
His soul that was partially merged with the Emptiness, absorb a part of The Existence itself to complement himself.
His soul that that originally was just something special, now looks like a brilliant white Mist, but if you look at it carefully, you will feel like every color were in it at the same time, leaving a colorful rainbow aura around, leaving the feeling as if it were the origin of everything. But also so illusory and untouchable as if it really did not exist.
Then he saw it, a vision that he would never forget, Bubbles, a lot of bubbles floating in a dark space. Every one of them looks like it's own cosmos, lighting up the dark space.
Suddenly he felt his soul was being pulled from somewhere, unable to resist, his soul cross the dark space until he found it. A bubble, if you can describe it like that, bigger and brighter than anyone else in the dark space. Any other bubble looks just like a grain of sand in front of a mountain in comparison.
At the moment his soul touch it a light brighter than anything else come from it and he entered in it.
His soul and his mind finally felt comfortable and Hou Zhi fall asleep.
….

He was Hou Shen the Sect Master of the Origin Avenue Sect, One of the most powerful sects in the Myriad Immortal World. And around him were the Great Elders ,Elders, deacons and a few servants of the sect.
