Of course, over the years Cul had some run-ins with cosmic entities, but as with death, there wasn't really any big fighting, as they didn't encroach on each other interests, and a fight between beings of their strength wouldn't bring any benefit fo either of them.
As Cul was wondering about the universe from his throne he received some information that made him change the direction of his projection as it disappeared and appeared above the Earth.

"Things have moved faster than I thought they would."
"It hasn't even been a year, yet the scythe has seemingly found a wielder already, lets's see what he/she is like." saying this he disappeared.
(in the test space)
Shane and the scythe spirit were still talking, when suddenly the giant fire serpent shrank as the flames converged and instead of a serpent there was now a human standing next to Shane.
Without any, delay the man quickly knelt and looked at the darkest surrounding them.
Shane who stood to the side was extremely shocked by the quick movements of the serpent, but his mind started moving at a fast speed, then a look of shock appeared in his eyes as he dropped to his knees assuming the same position as the man.
Shane didn't know everything about the religion that was made to worship the original serpent, but in all the years he had found clues about it, there was one iron-clad rule that appeared more than once, this rule should never be broken, and if broken the offender would die soon after being sentenced to eternal torture in the underworld.
And Shane remembered the rule well,' the followers of the original serpent don't follow many rules, but one rule known to even the lowest level member of the religion is this.
'Those who claim the original serpent as their master and God should never bow, submit or kneel before another, even if they are in the same religion, those who break this rule shall die in twenty-four hours, but gain an eternity of torture in the world after.'
So seeing the serpent kneeling now, it was clear to Shane who was here.
As they knelt on the ground, hours passed but they neither looked angry nor ashamed.
"Kai, it seems you've found a good seed this time, even better than the last fool who made it this far."
As the two knelt a powerful voice swept through, Shane could feel his entire soul tremble in fright, but he focused on other things, this voice was Obviously Cul, but who was Kai.
"Yes your majesty, the boy has a good potential." the man next to Shane, as he looked forward.
Before Shane could even comprehend how or when a man had appeared in front of him, looking at him with interest.
"The loyalty and mindset are good, it seems he even had a run-in with the overlord of this planet, speaking of I have not seen that old lady in a long time, I wonder if she changed her mind about staying human." Cul voiced his thoughts out loud.
"You both may rise."
"Thank you your majesty." they said in unison.
"Boy, you aren't anything special, even with the strength of your soul currently you are still weak, what are your thoughts?" asked Cul
"I agree with your majesty."
"That's good because what I said was a fact, but there are ways to jump to the top in minutes, the reason for this test is simply to gain my approval but none of the earlier wielders were able to do this, and you are the same, but like all the other wielders before you, you have still passed this test." spoke Cul.
Hearing this Shane was shocked, he couldn't help but want to know why, and before he could stop himself he had already started talking.
"Your majesty, may I know why?" asked Shane.
"Sure, it is simple if I had given you my approval, I would have given you a drop of my blood changing your race completely, in a couple of minutes you would have stepped into the ranks of the powerful, and become a God, something that valuable obviously has very high requirements and you haven't reached them." said Cul.
"But fear not, the human body isn't strong enough to wield the scythe so your race would have to be changed anyway, but I will give you a chance, the overlord of this planet is the strongest person in my religion on earth if you can defeat her I will give you a drop of blood from Achlys since his fang made the scythe his blood should be prefect, but for now I'll inform those devils to transform you, as for the other test you don't have to do it again, I name you the seventh generation wielder of the scythe of the darkest flame."
