One of them is my boss: powerful, magnetic, and maddeningly irresistible. The other is charming, relentless, and determined to win me over. Both of them are dangerous to my carefully hidden secret. Both of them tempt me in ways I never imagined. But I can't have them both—and choosing between them might just destroy the fragile life I've built.

Zhong Xin Tian Di (The centre of Heaven and Earth) # Background Ming yu is an avatar that exist in novel called Zhong Xin Tian Di, the reason for him being an avatar in this novel is that his real essence wants to know what it's like to live as on body in a story, but even after transferring his side consciousness a portion of his power was transferred to the avatar, but this was to fatal for the story to contain just half its power so he decided to input 100,000 level of sealing on the avatar ( 100,000 level of sealing which each level of sealing contains Infinite numbers of seals almost uncountable) and even after that sealing he power would explode or over load the mortal realm. So he sealed half of his remaining spiritual energy after those sealing, in a sword that he crafted using the concept of 'cutting and slicing' which the sword is stored in his voided soul and eats up his energy bit by bit in nanoseconds of his every day life, then afterwards shared his energy to create versions of him existing in different timelines from the original avatar of the universe across the infinite multiverse (which each universe have infinite timelines and different versions of himself exist in every timelines in one and other infinite number of universe that makes the multi verse) but he still has to control his remaining spiritual energy, for it Will still overwhelm the mortal realm. He can move and destroy the Eral-realm by share will even after his extremely sealed state. And novel still ongoing, it was said that Ming yu fought against an elect (the elects are candidates and trainees to become Demon kings) in the Eral-realm realm he defeated the elect and toke on the position of an elect and became stronger to the point were severely restricting him will only make him stronger and even after that he stored the elect he defeated in his voided soul so that the defeated elect could eat up his spiritual energy automatically making the elect and him stronger. That said if Ming yu breaks just 1 level of the sealing, it will increase his power infinitely making him stronger than before and will destroy the entirety of the Story's framework. # A little Cosmology. The mortal realm : refers to a vast expanse encompassing two multiverses. The first multiverse contains universies that are immesurably higher in size and reality than the last and infinitely higher in reality and size than other Multiverse. The mortal realm also comprises the meta-verse aa Transfinite number of higher dimensionality levels above 4-D space, which each dimensionality infinitely higher than the last. Above the mortal realm lies a Eral-realm, akin to the Outer verse. The spirit realm :exist as a whole level of existence that transcends conventional and independable motion and thought for it is a realm that exist for abstract souls and the soul king is the ruler of this realm as it encompasses the conceptual size of absolute infinity and deep endless land, and having infinite structural layers within infinite numbers of them selves (having infinite layers upon infinite layers of infinite number) in other to encompass the number of souls coming from the mortal realm. The Eral-realm: is a realm that transcend The Axis ( The Axis is like the hyper verse which encompasses transinfinite level of Higher inapplicable dimensionalities above the mortal realm) the Eral-realm exist as a realm that is completely transcendancy beyond time and space, infinity, logical reason, and outside all dimensionalities. The Eral-realm is Above The Axis and a for only The elects. The Eral-realm also has the timeless Trees and the deep End streams ( these trees are called timeless trees because the have countless numbers of branches which each branches contains the infinite strings of infinite number and size timelines of the invisible mortal realm (invisible mortal realm that exist one foundation of existence above the normal mortal realm).
