After the disappearance of the dragon, the people of the Universe World began to move quickly. Some dropped everything, opting to check upon their friends and family. Only to come to the realization that the words spoken… were all true. Impossible wounds, healed. Dying & sickly people once again acted as if they were in their prime.
Others went home only to see there was no change in their loved ones. However, this wasn't out of heartlessness. In fact none of the dying & sickly remained untreated. So it was rather few who didn't see any improvement. Though, the fact they could see it around them, was proof enough of the power spoken about.
Shortly after, the masters of the world, the peak Origin Kings, gathered. All of them, powerful in their own right. However, one of them was missing. And a meeting started.
"Hmph, to think I'd be sitting at a table with you lot. Bunch of old fogies." a 3rd Order Origin King said sipping tea, doing her best to not show her anger.
"I could say the same about you! You were a prodigy, but now... Hmph, you're just a bitch." An old bearded man at the 3rd Order Origin King said, his eyes not failing to glare daggers at the woman.
"You're just mad because you can't have your way with me. I know you want to. Too bad for you. I don't like old fogies. I prefer those young and promising men. The look on their faces is just priceless. The moment they feel it… Oh it's wonderful." The woman said, mocking the man. She wore a silvery pink dress that accentuated her figure.
"Why you!" The old bearded man shouted, slamming the table as he shot up from his seat.
Then as if to shut them all down... The one who had been missing before appeared in the room. The aura he gave off was vastly different from the others. Sending them all into a fit, trying to figure out what to do.
"Can you all stop your bickering? You, so what if she doesn't want to entertain you, there are plenty of women out there who would do it." The new arrival said glaring at the old bearded man. "And you, can you stop detailing your bed fantasies at the meeting table? It's quite annoying and useless." He continued, now looking at the man.
The two troublemakers simply nodded their heads in agreement. Not because they were disrespectful, but... this was all they could do movement wise.
"Good, now then as you can see here, I am no longer the same as all of you." The new arrival said with a pleased smirk.
The host of this meeting looked dumbfounded for a moment. Then… The rest of the room followed suit. And then everyone shuttered realizing that the man before them now, was no longer an Origin King Realm, but… A higher realm.
"Ahahaha! Now that's the look I expected from you. While the voice of that dragon spoke to you, I was given guidance by the one the dragon called his creator. Such a young voice, yet filled with an abundance of knowledge… With his instruction I was able to break through to this new realm… The Dao Source Realm. I feel so much stronger now. Like a fresh breeze in a stagnate wasteland breathing new life into the land beneath it." The late arrival laughed heartily.
"I see, then the power this creator possesses must be of a realm beyond our imaginations. To think such a mighty entity would seek us out. Are we not simply no more than fleas in the eyes of someone that strong?" The Meeting host sighed.
"Sir, you said this man sounded young?" The Woman from earlier smirked, excitedly.
"HA! Indeed, we really are mere ants… No, I doubt we even qualify to be called that. After all, even ants can swarm an elephant to death. We, on the other hand… Wouldn't even be an annoyance to that young man. The Great Benefactor." The newly minted Dao Source Realm said, then glared at the woman. "Don't even bother having any ideas about sir benefactor. You wouldn't stand a chance anyway." He added, shaking his head.
"Is this Benefactor truly that strong? Such might… Surely it's reached the limit…" A peak 2nd Order Origin King muttered. He wore a look of dread.
"To put this into perspective he is far above those in the same realm, and on top of that. He was the peak of the Emperor Realm, the realm beyond my own." The newly minted Dao Source said, with a trembling hand. "Even still, the mountain I climbed can't even fathom the peak of the next mountain. I can't even see it. Let alone hope to defeat it. Such power… Is beyond my understanding. Our Benefactor told me this." He added.
"So, did sir benefactor tell you what his plan was for making contact with us? I heard the words of the Dragon. Even still, it's hard to believe he just wants people. What does he want them for?" The Meeting head asked, curiously. He still trembled recalling the words of the dragon.
"I don't know the details specifically, but… I do know the general idea. That Great Sir desires people to follow away with him. To live their lives in his own world. In a sense, I guess it's like a source of power. And life is the generator. More specifically, the cycle of life as a whole. From this I understand he wants a large number of migrants. However, he can only take half of the people in total. Any more than that and this world would become unstable." The newly minted Dao source explained, putting an alchemic tome on the table and beside it, a tome brimming with immense power making the table warp under the sheer pressure. "I was given these things to share with you all. He said it would ensure that a rational decision would be made." He added.
"That alchemic tome… Mind if I take a look at it?" A relatively silent man asked, he was a 3rd Order Origin King. He was old, gray and quite clear that making it to the 3rd Order was a miracle for him.
The newly minted Dao Source sent the tome towards the old man. Upon opening to the first page the old man began to read with an increasingly youthful look of excitement.
