The Legacy of the Beast Lord and Empyreal Convergence
The Soul Bond:
The Empyreal Convergence is an ancient system of power interwoven within the very fabric of creation. It is inaccessible to the denizens of the Twelve Realms, save for one individual, the chosen heir destined to be the next Beast Lord. This heir is marked by the enigmatic Beast Sigil, a soul-bound unique emblem that defies mortal comprehension.
Unlike the visible characteristics tied to Beasteal Qi and the cultivation paths of ordinary Beast Tamers, the Beast Sigil exists solely within the bearer's soul. It serves as the key to unlock the Empyreal Convergence-a cosmic nexus where the powers of the Twelve Realms converge. The sigil is not a physical mark in the early stages but evolves over time, etching intricate patterns onto the heir's body as they grow stronger.
The Empyreal Convergence System:
This system, bound to the heir's soul, is a repository of boundless potential. It enables the chosen one to tap into energies and powers beyond conventional cultivation. The Convergence is believed to contain the essence of creation and is thus both a source of unparalleled strength and a heavy burden.
The sigil provides a bridge, but its selected heir has to prove themselves worthy to access. This includes surviving grueling trials, facing the Twelve Realms' wrath, and overcoming the machinations of those who fear the rise of a new Beast Lord.
Evolution of the Beast Sigil:
The Beast Sigil does not remain static. It grows, and its growth mirrors that of the heir himself:
Dormant Phase: The sigil is bound to the soul but remains inactive, visible only as a faint symbol in the bearer's inner soul. During this phase, its existence is unknown even to the bearer.
Awakening Phase: The sigil activates during moments of profound emotional turmoil or life-threatening danger. Marks appear on the bearer's skin, signaling the first connection to the Empyreal Convergence.
Ascension Phase: The sigil develops into an intricate web of symbols, increasing in size and intricacy. Every mark represents a deeper attunement to the Convergence and unlocks new abilities, from enhanced combat skills to manipulation of primal forces.
The Beast Sigil and Empyreal Convergence are things that even the Beast Tamers of Elias' world don't know they are existing or not. These powers have long since been forgotten in the Twelve Realms as myth. Elias' world is too deeply entrenched within their own cultivation systems to comprehend what the sigil actually was.
The Price of Power:
The link of the Beast Sigil with the Empyreal Convergence does not come cheap. The system binds itself right into the soul of the bearer, entwining the fate of the latter with the cosmic order. Each use of the Convergence's power deepens this bond, forcing the bearer to shoulder the weight of destiny.
