Since time immemorial, the outcome of an Exalted Assembly had always been immeasurable. Used as a means to resolve conflict between a few domains at first, it was now used to solve an accumulation of thousands of years worth of slights, debts, and quarrels.. Most of which were bound to change the future of entire universes. For that reason, most of the leading figures within the multiverse did not consider the assembly in itself the hardest part, but the few centuries that followed its conclusion.…-

Daniel had experienced many things. He had fought through uncountable battles, witnessed things only a handful of entities could boast to have seen, and survived situations that would have left the most tenacious fighters in dismay.. Yet, despite all the experience he had accumulated, at this moment, even he could not help but feel his confidence slowly start to crumble. Around him, in this unusually quiet pocket of space, thousands of cultivators who could turn him into dust with the snap of a finger,…

As the ashes of the champion of Fate scattered, and Daniel’s presence went back to its original state, the thousands of observing cultivators sprung to their feet-In their hands just as many weapons had suddenly appeared. The pocket dimension began to tremble due to the invisible clash of essences, which tried to wrestle control over the surrounding space. "WHAT IS GOING ON!?" shrieked an old man in priest robes while tightening the grip on the bullwhip he was holding. "WHAT WAS THAT?" This degree…

As the champion of Fate dragged the bleeding young woman halfway across the stage, Daniel quietly observed the two. Deep frown lines marked his glabella, a feature caused by the confusing nature of the feelings provoked by the presence of the two individuals. It had been awhile since the presence of another entity had changed his calculative and calm state of mind, and yet, such a feat appeared all too easy for the two of them. The natural hostility he had felt towards the champion of Fate was almost…

"The leader of the Domain of Lord Sacrifice, first of Lord Sacrifice’s champions, has perished.." Said the Overlord right after licking his greasy and slightly shiny lips. His eyes, albeit still devoid of life, were now curved in a failed attempt to showcase grief. A deafening silence, yet short-lived silence befell the pocket dimension. Soon, noises which indicated a variety of emotive reactions resounded in the air. Gasps of surprise, elated laughs, angry roars, and much more.. To Daniel, who had…

In the span of roughly thirty minutes, the thousands of tables were filled with people. Each table was occupied by no more than ten champions, powerful and domineering in their own aspects, and emanating the terrifying power that was granted to them by the lord they followed. This power lingered around their bodies in a variety of ways, all perceivable with one’s sense. An aura for those who tried to sense it, a glow for those who observed, a screech for those who tried to heed it, and a pungent odor…

Headquarters of War’s domain. "HOW DID THAT HAPPEN!?" Bellowed the middle aged man in military attire who had lost the bet with Daniel, to the championess of Conquest. "I don’t believe a brat like him has that much luck! I CAN’T BELIEVE IT!!" he said as his emotion of rage and worry oozed out of his body into a black mist that darkened the entire room. The woman, belonging to a domain that was directly subordinate to War’s domain, could do nothing but bear the man’s anger in silence.…

From the moment the fight had begun, to the moment Victor had attacked, only a couple of seconds had passed, and most of that time had been spent talking. The crowd looked on with disappointment as the most expected outcome played out in front of them. What they ignored, however, was the tension that had formed into the ring-shaped room, inside which the leading champions of the many universes eyed the middle-aged champion of War with uneasy expressions. In their mind, they could not help but curse…

One of the things Daniel had learned about the multiverse since he had arrived at the site of the Exalted Assembly, was the way the universes were categorized and separated into stages.. But most importantly, he had learned that these stages were not indicative of what was inside them, but what degree of influence the domains that owned had on them. Every universe within the multiverse belonged to either one of two categories-Unaware, and aware universes. An unaware universe was a universe that had yet…

With his arrival, while expected, Daniel had been able to attract the looks of the thousands of champions present within the ring-shaped pocket of space. In him they all saw the newcomer who had become notorious within the high circles as the one who was cared for by his lord, and as such, they did not dare to consider him a junior. Unfortunately, that very reputation seemed to have turned Daniel into someone who was better to avoid. The only person who initially seemed to be willing to speak to Daniel,…
