This time was, for Daniel, a moment of rest. He had decided to maintain his distance from the other aspects of existence, refusing to interrupt their cordial mingling despite his presence being what had caused them to reunite. The reason for that, to his dismay, were what he remembered to be one the most encumbering of human behaviors-the awkwardness of meeting someone you should have met much sooner, causing the eventual meeting to be filled with embarrassment. A faint smile crept on his face. He had…-

Shared universe, core system of the Golden Peak Mountain sect, three months later. The headquarters of the Golden Peak Mountain sect, also known as the Merc Pit, had never been a place for peace and quiet. Martial in nature, such a sect existed within the multiverse as a home to mercenaries, each of whom was extremely well trained, and infinitely loyal to those whose gold their pockets were filled with, the sect's main family. With the reputation of a mercenary cove, the Golden Peak Mountain sect, along…

Daniel's presence came as an equal source of relief and frustration. Many a time had Der and Roley begged for their old friend to help them in the search of their long lost friends and family, and yet, Daniel had never agreed. In their eyes, the bright and talented young man had changed. In the thousands of years they had been separated, something had taken the humanity out of him, and left behind the aloofness that a disinterested king would reserve for the poorest of his subjects. It was only after…

Several days after the unexpected progress in their investigation, Der and Roley found themselves back in front of the interdimensional portal. With them, the vast planet Roley had inherited from Daniel, which now housed the entirety of both the Immortal Armada, and the Elemental army. Alongside a few of the highest ranking elementals and cultivators, Der and Roley observed the large portal with stern expressions. The large portal, wide enough to swallow Roley's planet whole, was surrounded by an…

After several years of failed searches for information, Der and Roley found themselves, once again, rummaging through tons of mostly burnt paperwork. They were currently standing on opposite sides of a quite large medieval style office, with walls, floor and roof made of clean cut large stones, and large wooden furniture. In the middle of the room, a pile of documents had been left unattended, yet growing larger by the minute at the rhythm of annoyed grunts. Outside the four large wooden windows that…

With closed eyes, Daniel focused on the collection of unfulfilled karma. His mind had turned into a whirlpool capable of reaching the furthest reaches of the universe, drawing in every bit of power that, as if answering his call, approached him after uncountable miles of travel. As Daniel had maintained his focus on this new form of slow cultivation, the lives of others continued, time passed. Minutes turned to hours.. Hours turned into days, then into years until finally, before he could realize it, an…

Unwilling to share his true intentions with Roley, Daniel decided to resume his exploration of the black castle instead. His former home, and house to the closest members of his group. Just before walking off, however, Roley noticed that a small speck of golden light had been shed by the aspect's body, and had moved on an unoccupied spot near the castle's entrance. Once this light reached its destination, its intensity quickly started to grow to the size of a lighthouse's light bulb, until finally, only…

“This is yours now.” Daniel said while handing the fist-sized planet to his companion, who looked at it with confusion. Roley, unsure of whether this was some sort of test or not, did not take the planet right away. But when Daniel let go of it, leaving it to float in space by itself, he immediately reached for it. He knew how valuable the object was, despite Daniel seemingly having no interest in it. As he held it in his hands, he could not help but feel an immense affinity with the object. He…

This sea of karmic power, in Daniel’s eyes, seemed alive. Like a dense school of fish, the uncountable specks of golden light danced around his body, eager to dive into his skin and finally become one with him. As this power merged into his body, Daniel felt the strength of his influence increase, charging him with the existential power he knew more than anybody else. Yet, as more and more of this power poured into him, he suddenly realized something. This amount was far too little. Each sentient…

Daniel’s appearance did not go unnoticed to the tens of thousands of cultivators who, just moments ago, were watching the ceremony so religiously. So, at the sight of him, they immediately sprung up on their feet, and took off to the skies, where they traveled the few hundred meters of distance resembling a swarm of irritated red-colored wasps. As the quickest and strongest of the group approached the platform, however, their blood-soaked leader stopped them on their track with a simple wave of his…
