In a brief moment, a speck of time worthless to someone capable of living millions of years, a connection was cut. The space that surrounded Kiara darkened as the voice of the person she was closest to continued to echo in her ears, making her deaf to the events that took place around her. Her world, lonely and dark already, had lost one of the few lights left. Covered behind droplets of dark red blood that, after lingering in the surroundings for a few moments, finally landed on her skin. Only her…-

As the Warlord observed the portal close, leaving behind the elementals’ angered army, he predicted the future that awaited him and his people. He did not believe that the clash between the two groups was a lone incident, but the beginning of a long and bloody conflict.. Of that, he was sure. The elemental ancestors of the spatial, dark and light essence were the ones who had framed his people, as shown by their intentions in either silencing them, or using the infighting to gather authority among the…

The order of the spatial elemental ancestor traveled far and wide, reaching several light years away while losing nothing of its powerful charge. A single word that, after being spoken, united hundreds of thousands of different beings against a common enemy. Tongues of flame joined into columns of fire capable of surpassing Xia’s heat, gusts of wind that merged into cyclones powerful enough to easily wipe away To’Han’s atmosphere.. Whips of molten and solid metal that fused into blades made of…

The wood elemental’s report did not come as a surprise to the Lord, for he had long felt the presence of cultivators approaching Xin. What he did not expect, however, was for them to attack right away. After all, while cultivators were belligerent in nature, they too would take their time to discuss things before jumping straight into an all-out war. Regardless, the Lord did not panic. While still sitting with his legs crossed, he once again closed his eyes, and allowed for his consciousness to expand…

To’Han, Lord’s palace. What was visible of the immense tree that had grown on To’Han’s surface, was not the entirety of the Lord’s Palace. A large part of it was, in fact, hidden under the planet’s crust. Uncountable corridors and halls dug in between the tree’s large roots, forming a vast dungeon only a few among the Lord’s people could travel, or even remember. Once used as the starting settlement of their community this maze had eventually fallen into disuse, until one day, nobody…

Together, the Warlord’s personal guard and the elemental scouts traveled the last stretch to To’Han, the Elemental’s home planet. A short time that inevitably saw them interact with one another, satisfy their curiosities, and study each other’s intentions. The closer to the destinations the convoy were, the more they would interact, seeing the short time they had left as the last opportunity left before their two leaders would decide whether the groups they led would end up sharing this…

For the days that followed, the two factions, unaware of each other’s true goal, prepared for first contact. The Lord of the elementals, informed of the cultivators’ unwillingness to heed his warning, mobilized his most capable followers. Armies composed of thousands of ancient elementals, each capable of shaping a planet into a world fit for their kind. In the eyes of a regular cultivator, each of these elementals was a treasure trove. Composed of the purest form of their element’s…

To’han, Non-Elemental Palace, two weeks later. Across the entirety of the planet’s surface, only two structures had ever been erected. The first and most important, was the Lord’s Palace. A series of vast halls and dark corridors formed by the controlled growth of the most ancient tree of the planet, whose entwined branches formed the palace’s walls, floors and roofs. Originally built as an outpost used to scout the newly opened universe, the Lord’s Palace was the place where the leader of…

The once bustling flotilla had now come to a complete halt. In its core, a hole had formed. Bright and hot as the ships’ oxygen reserves burned out, then quiet and dark a moment later, leaving behind only a graveyard of bloated and burnt corpses and ship scraps. Of the millions of people affected, only a handful had been lucky enough to survive the impact, and among them, only a fraction had the knowledge to survive the two or three seconds it would take for the cultivators to locate and rescue them.…

After Daniel’s true nature became known to the Pantheon, the multiverse began to change. Deities who once lived to witness their influence expand passively and powers grow limitlessly, were now leading trillions to war. Their target, not just the beings who had disturbed this status quo, but anyone who stood in their path. All a consequence of damaging the existential nature of one of the true pillars of existence, Fate. As Fate abandoned absolute control over the regulation of the multiverse, the…
