Chen Franz soared effortlessly into the Fairy God Realm, the realm he himself had created. The atmosphere shimmered with celestial energy, hues of gold and silver intertwining in an endless dance of divine brilliance. He descended upon the vast palace, his throne perched atop the highest pinnacle of the universe. As he entered the Hall of Eternity, a congregation of his loyal emissaries stood in unison, their presence reverent and their power unmatched.
To his right stood the God of Heaven, a serene and dignified figure clothed in radiant white robes. Beside him loomed the imposing Demon King of the Demon Realm, his fiery aura subdued yet potent, a mark of his absolute loyalty to Chen Franz. Flanking the throne were the Guardians of the Universe, their towering figures symbolizing unparalleled strength and balance across all dimensions. Finally, floating in ethereal silence, the Lightning Tribulations, beings of pure destructive force, knelt in submission a sight so rare it underscored the immense respect they bore for their master.
As Chen Franz ascended his throne, its magnificence unmatched, the hall resounded with their unified voices:
"WELCOME, MASTER OF ALL UNIVERSE. HOW FARED YOUR TIME IN THE LOWER REALM?"
Chen Franz smiled faintly, his voice calm yet imbued with power. "I enjoyed my time among the mortals. Their simplicity and resilience are… refreshing." He paused, his gaze sweeping over his gathered emissaries. "But I assume you have not summoned me here simply to ask of my experiences. What is the purpose of this assembly?"
One of the Guardians stepped forward, bowing deeply. "Master Chen, we have located the planet Earth the one you tasked us to find. It resides within the Dead Zone of the Universe, an area devoid of energy, shrouded in silence and decay."
The revelation sent a ripple of energy through the hall, but none dared to speak further. Chen Franz sat back in his throne, his golden eyes narrowing thoughtfully.
"Earth…" he murmured, his thoughts racing. "After all this time, I'll finally be able to see my birthplace again. My parents…"
A rare emotion flickered across his face nostalgia mixed with a longing that transcended millennia. The Demon King took a step forward, his voice guttural but laced with concern. "Master Chen, the Dead Zone is a treacherous place, even for someone of your power. You are the pinnacle of cultivation; even your mere presence may destabilize the fragile remnants of that planet."
Chen Franz nodded slowly. "I am aware, Demon King. That is why I must proceed cautiously. I cannot risk the destruction of Earth, not when I have yet to discover what remains of my past."
The God of Heaven spoke next, his voice soothing and wise. "Shall we prepare safeguards, my lord? Perhaps an astral projection or suppression of your aura can help ensure its stability."
Chen Franz considered the suggestion but waved a hand in dismissal. "No need for now. I will first study Earth's state before taking any action. If it is too fragile to withstand my presence, I will find another way."
His voice softened, though his determination remained palpable. "Thank you all for your unwavering efforts. You have done well."
The emissaries bowed in gratitude, their respect for their master unwavering. Chen Franz sat in silent contemplation, his gaze distant as he pondered the complexities of his return. The thought of seeing Earth, of uncovering the fate of his parents, filled him with anticipation but also trepidation.
With a wave of his hand, he conjured a holographic map of the Dead Zone, the planet Earth glimmering faintly at its heart. As he studied the map, his voice resonated in the silent hall:
"I will not fail this mission. Prepare for my journey. In my absence, protect the balance of the universe."
The hall echoed with affirmations. The guardians and emissaries dispersed to their duties, their resolve unshaken. As Chen Franz leaned back in his throne, he closed his eyes, his thoughts consumed by Earth and the mystery of its existence in the Dead Zone.
"After 5.3 million years," he whispered to himself, "I will uncover the truth of my origin. No matter the cost."
