As Alex gazed upon a resplendent palace made of jade, a celestial realm unfolded before him. At its heart sat someone on a golden throne whose face couldn't be seen clearly, emanating commanding power, with advisors gathered below.
Celestial beauties danced gracefully around the palace, and mythical beasts adorned the skies, creating an image of a celestial paradise. The grandeur of the scene overwhelmed Alex.
And when Alex saw his parents among the advisors, his face was shocked and got blanked for a second.
However, the atmosphere swiftly shifted. In the blink of an eye, Alex found himself standing on a tumultuous battlefield.
Thunderous roars echoed as thousands of soldiers clashed around him. Although the names of the shouted commands were indiscernible, the intense pressure of the battlefield weighed heavily upon him.
In the sky, myriad figures materialized, forming a daunting circle around a solitary palace that instilled fear in Alex. Despite the overwhelming atmosphere, the soldiers on the ground remained resolute, their morale unwavering.
From the countless celestial figures, radiant streams of light shot out. Although beautiful in appearance, when these beams descended upon the lands, they caused devastation, decimating landscapes and mountains!
The sight of soldiers falling with proud smiles pierced Alex's heart with pain, even though he had no personal connection to any of them.

Alex woke up in a cold sweat as if he had a terrible dream but he couldn't remember anything and before he could come out of it, he heard a voice which wanted to destruct his soul, when he was born into this world for the first time.
It is perceived that ( ******* ) has unlocked one of the seals.
{ God Vision unlocked }
Alex, bewildered, couldn't comprehend what he heard. However, as the message continued, an unimaginable pain seized his eyes, and blood started flowing from them.
His feet went numb, and relentless thunder rang in his ears, drowning out the world into an eerie silence.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!....." Alex screamed in pain, finally succumbing to unconsciousness.
Before losing consciousness, one thought echoed in his mind: "I'm screwed... my eyes have been blinded!"
Upon regaining consciousness, Alex found himself aware that he was alive but unable to feel his body.
The only sensation he felt was the excruciating pain emanating from both of his eyes. Suddenly, his consciousness was drawn into a pitch-black dimension.
Confused and disoriented, Alex found himself in the darkness until his soul was captivated by a faint purple light at the center of this void.
This mysterious light radiated an infinite depth, as though it had endured through ancient times to the present, exuding a sense of both life and eternity. Alex, entranced, heard a voice emanate from it.
" Ancient Gods of Pantheon will soon face the retribution of the Celestial God slayer "
The words echoed through the black expanse, resonating as if spoken from the depths of ancient history.
"Who's there!?" Alex's consciousness trembled, and an icy chill swept over his entire being.
Despite scanning the area, he could perceive no one; the voice seemed to be a manifestation of the very space itself.
In the pitch-black dimension, suddenly a golden throne materialized, yet the figure seated upon it remained elusive, as if Alex was unworthy of direct sight.
"To think there is a soul in this world which can awaken my remnant consciousness? Just who are you," the mysterious voice mused, seemingly speaking to itself.
Despite Alex's attempts to shout or move, he found himself incapable of raising his head in the presence of this enigmatic being.
"Ohhh! I see," the voice continued. "It means they were successful in protecting you."
Before Alex could seek clarification, the ancient consciousness within the void surged, and he was forcibly expelled from the mysterious dimension.
"I hope you would be safe, my {****}," the melancholic and profoundly sorrowful voice resonated, yet Alex couldn't discern its complete message.
"Huh." Alex, now back in his own consciousness, remained bewildered by the cryptic encounter in the dark expanse and, took a deep breath.
When he attempted to open his eyes, a sharp pain shot through them, causing him to scream in agony.
"Ahhhhh..."
The intense pain made him sweat and toss around the room, but with time, the discomfort gradually subsided.
With a face marked by worry, Alex slowly released his grip on his eyes. Upon opening them, he could see everything clearly, prompting a sigh of relief.
Curious about the ordeal, Alex took out a mirror to examine his eyes. They appeared normal, and as he gazed at himself in the mirror, a virtual screen unexpectedly materialized in front of him.

As Alex observed the screen, his heart raced, especially when he noticed the unknown rank in the physique column. The concept of such a special physique was unfamiliar to him, leaving him perplexed.
His battle skills' proficiency soared, with his sword skill achieving perfection, and a prototype of sword intent taking shape in his mind.
'Well, whatever it is, I won't find answers here,' Alex thought. After a deep breath, he left his room and headed to the training grounds for the upcoming class.
Upon arriving, Alex witnessed Peter defeating Leon, causing a sense of shame and anger among the onlooking classmates.
And when Peter saw him walking, he immediately taunted, "Hahaha! You're finally here. I thought you'd be a turtle hiding in your shell..."
'Damn it!'
Alex cursed inwardly. He hadn't expected the elven guy, who displayed arrogance on their first day at the academy, to be his opponent in today's practice session.
[Name: Peter Eldorian

When Peter laughed, everyone in the training grounds looked at Alex in curiosity and some of his classmates recognised him.
' looks like it cannot be avoided ' thought Alex and started walking over to the field.
When Alex was walking towards the platform, Lucas stopped him and said
" Brother Alex, it's better you admit immediately, they are very advanced in their cultivation and this practice session was meant to make us taste defeat " in a concerned tone with a swollen eye , split lip and bruised skin.
