Chapter 2 Prelude To The End {Part - 2}
"Hahahaha! Finally, this monster has been destroyed in the end!"
The god of death laughed in joy at the man's demise. It couldn't be helped. He had waited too long to destroy this man who made his title as the god of death useless.
Just as he was about to speak again, three lights of blue, gold, and white charged out of the explosion and flew off together at a speed greater than any of the gods could react.
"Is that?"
"Yes, it is! And there are even three of them, this bastard's luck was too great. Quickly chase them!"
All six of them immediately gave chase but they found out that they couldn't catch up at all and the lights quickly disappeared from the void.
"Dang it! We missed such an opportunity," said one of them.
"Well, that should be expected. It was said that unless you are acknowledged by them you wouldn't be able to hold them even if they were in front of you."
"That's true. But with the unfathomable power they hold, do you think that he would be able to revive?" Asked one of them.
Everyone frowned once that was brought up.
"I don't think so," said the God of the Death.
"We all saw him being annihilated by that power. I believe you should all know that being struck with that lightning you will cease to exist and even be unable to reincarnate."
"That's true, but I can't help but feel uneasy."
---------------------
Meanwhile, the three lights stopped somewhere in the void as a transparent figure appeared.
It was the same man that was annihilated moments ago. He looked at the three lights which were actually three diamond-shaped gems.
"It seems I will be starting my plan a bit sooner, but it doesn't matter because, in one fell swoop, I will rule the Grand Dao!"
The three gems began to grow brighter under his control and eventually, he disappeared as a tiny palace appeared in his place. This tiny palace moved with a flash of light in a specific direction.
Immediately after it left, a figure instantly appeared where it previously was.
"Hehehe, he has really gotten much weaker for sure. I wouldn't have been able to sneak up on him even with the power of the space gem."
With a wave of his hand, the figure disappeared in grey light as he chased after the Immortal Supreme.
Within a world that had that was filled with nature's beauty, a palace flew in and landed with a boom on the ground.
After that, the Immortal Supreme's soul appeared and the palace disappeared.
He looked around and gazed in a specific direction for a little while before summoning the three gems again.
Looking at them, he reminisced about his cultivation journey.
He had been born in a lower realm and was even a slave there. He had cultivation from the lowest level to peak slowly. He fought his way through the lower realm and ascended to a middle realm.
In the middle realm, he got some fortuitous encounter, and that was when his rise really began. He made a lot of enemies in the process, but he surpassed them all to such an extent that they had to bow before him in the end.
After that, he rose to the upper realms and kept rising to the peak. At this power, his greatest fortune was to acquire the three gems in his possession.
These gems were gems that maintained the balance of the universe. Anyone who has this gem in his or her possession and was able to fully grasp its power would be able to have full reign over an aspect of reality.
And he had three of them!
There are nine gems in total, and they are;
[Gem of Chaos].
[Gem of Time].
[Gem of Space].
[Gem of Life].
[Gem of Death].
[Gem of Soul].
[Gem of Fate].
[Gem of Destruction], and finally~
[The Gem of Creation].
He had been able to get the Gem of Time, The Gem of the Soul, and The Gem of Fate. Although they had acknowledged him, he had been unable to bring out less than one percent of his power.
That was when he found out that there is more than one universe. There are nine universes in total and each had its own nine gems.
And the three he had were greater than the universal nine gems. The three he had were part of a set that didn't just cover a universe but all nine universes which made the Multiverse.
These gems cover an aspect of reality across all nine universes. This was the only reason he was able to survive destruction by the Heavenly Dao of this universe.
It was at this time that he had a crazy idea. He developed an ambition to not only gather all nine Multiversal gems but also to master the Grand Dao and reign over all.
And what does it mean to master the Grand Dao?
It is an impossible task!
Because there is a total of nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety Dao, so 999,999 Dao.
In all of them, one can not learn too many as it depends on the natural endowment and great comprehension. Even yet, one could spend their entire lifetime comprehending a particular Dao, and they wouldn't be said to have mastered that one Dao.
Only a select few can train to the peak of a Dao, but that was still only at the universal level. And these are beings, akin to gods.
Gods, whose lifetime spans millions of years. Millions of years were spent comprehending a Dao and training it to the peak.
But because the gems he had in his possession were on a Multiversal scale, he derived a plan. Which he acted upon.
Said plan was one in which he created clones of his soul, making a total of 999,999, using the power of the Soul Gem. Each soul was like a newborn, but they were all him.
Then using the power of the Fate Gem, he blessed each with the Fate and talent to comprehend a particular Dao.
No, he would combine the power of the Fate Gem and the Gem of Time to send each soul to specific timelines that would let them master their Dao in the shortest time possible.
Then he would enter seclusion and await for the day he fuses with all 999,999 souls comprehending all Dao and fusing them, thereby mastering the Grand Dao itself, with even the Heavenly Dao becoming his servant.
A smile crept up to his face as he thought about this point. And without wasting much time he powered the Soul Gem and multiple tiny blue lights began to fly out of it.
Those blue lights were his cloned souls. There were a total of 999,999 of them.
And then the Gem of Fate shone too, and golden light penetrated each soul, blessing them with talents pertaining to a specific dao. It also set them up with a Fate that would bring all 999,999 souls together, in the end,d to fuse with the Immortal Supreme.
"Now for the final part..."
The Gem of Time shone and each of the souls was suddenly transported to different timelines.
Once all of that was completed, the Immortal Supreme's figure began to flicker as though he was about to disappear. Causing his form to become more transparent.
He had been in soul form all along after his body had been destroyed, and also using the power of the gems strained his soul the more.
His cultivation had already been destroyed now he had to recuperate and plan what to do next.
He waved his hand and the three gems disappeared.
"Now I..."
*Boom!*
