“H-how is this possible? If the battle between the Eternal Birds of the Red Flame and the Black Flame continues, it will undoubtedly endanger the entire universe. Not only the human and demon realms will be disturbed, but the realms of the gods will also face destruction. Someone with the power of the universe must sacrifice themselves to unite these two creatures and immerse them together with their own soul,” said the Demon God Emperor, who appeared from the realm of hell at that moment.
Indeed, at that time, the battle between two Eternal beings, the Red Flame Eternal Bird and the Black Flame Eternal Bird, was escalating. Both were creatures with power surpassing that of the gods, with their strength almost reaching the level of the universe. As a result, their intense battle caused massive destruction in the surrounding area.
Almost all the gods in the heavenly realms, including the two Emperor Gods, descended to prevent the impending catastrophe. However, none of them could stop the Eternal Birds’ fight. The power of the Eternal Birds, when angered and facing each other as adversaries, surpassed even the power of the emperor gods. Even all the gods gather there couldn’t contain the power possessed by the Eternal Birds.
“Let me unite them and merge their souls into one! This way, there will be no more battles between these two legendary creatures,” exclaimed the Light God Emperor.
“You cannot do that, Light God. Your condition is still in the womb of humanity. If you dare to do it, you might be the one to perish along with the two souls of the Eternal Beings,” replied the Life God Emperor, also present at the scene.
All the gods fell silent upon hearing the blunt words of the Life God. They knew well that the words from one of the highest gods were undoubtedly true. Meanwhile, the position of the Light God in the balance of the universe was crucial. If they were gone, there would be an imbalance in the universe. The Light God led all the gods of the universe, making their role essential.
“It doesn’t matter if I perish and can no longer be a god or even vanish forever. What’s important is saving the universe. You can still choose a new Emperor God among yourselves. Rather than the disappearance of the universe, I’d prefer my own disappearance,” said the Light God in human form.
All the gods remained silent. They couldn’t find any other way to prevent the destruction of the universe. The only solution was to merge the two souls of the Eternal Birds, and only the Light God Emperor, currently in human form as a reincarnation, could do it. Hence, the risk faced by the Light God was his destruction from the universe.
After a few moments of silence, with no one speaking, the Light God leaped up and positioned himself between the two battling Eternal Birds. The Eternal Birds, one emitting black flames and the other a fiery red, continued to attack each other with their powers. However, their strength was halted when the Light God stood between them, using a shield to deflect their attacks.
“God Confining Seal Technique!” The Light God shouted while releasing his technique to seal the Eternal Birds within a circle he had created. Then, the Light God exerted his power to strengthen the seal. Instantly, a glowing circle formed, and the Eternal Bird within tried to rebel and escape the circle but was consistently struck by the formidable power of the light.
“Emperor-level Soul Unification Technique!”
The Light God shouted again. Slowly, his body began to rise, reaching a higher position than the battling Eternal Birds. The highest god in the universe then spread his hands to the sides. Suddenly, the body of the Supreme God emitted light exceeding the brightness of sunlight.
The entire universe became radiant with the power emitted by the Light God. The Eternal Bird within the sealed circle suddenly transformed into a form of Light resembling the Light God. On the side of the gods witnessing this event, all their faces became tense. Meanwhile, on the other side, four humans present at the scene were seen shedding tears.
“Aaaaaaa!”
The Light God shouted loudly, coinciding with the transformation of the god’s form into light. Then, the two Eternal Birds that turned into light were suddenly sucked into the body of the Light God. Not only that, but it seemed as if all the light began to be absorbed into the body of the Light God. Then, for a moment, everything became dark, leaving only the light possessed by the god. Slowly, that light disappeared until the entire place became pitch black.“Light God!” screamed a girl, one of the four humans present at the scene.
All the gods and humans in the vicinity fell silent, feeling profound sadness. They lost the most important person in their lives, even the entire universe. The God Emperor had sacrificed himself for the salvation of the Universe.
***“Where am I? Why does my entire body ache? Why can’t I open my eyes? Am I in emptiness? Or have I not disappeared from this universe.”
A figure lay beneath a cliff.
“Tiberius Julius... Are you okay?”
Faintly, the voice of a shout reached the ears of a young man lying beneath the cliff. The voice came from above, where the ravine was located. He then tried to open his eyes but couldn’t. He resigned himself to silence with his eyes closed.
Shortly afterward, the footsteps of two people were heard approaching the young man named Tiberius Julius.
“Ahhh... it seems he is severely injured. It looks like this kid has fainted because he couldn’t endure the pain. His body has not really formed an immunity level that could make him endure injuries. Even the regeneration process of his cells is too slow. Although we have given him various rare herbs, it seems this kid is just not talented,” said a middle-aged man around forty-five years old, squatting to examine Tiberius Julius’s condition.
“Brother Maxlin, it seems today is enough. This kid can no longer continue the training we gave him. If we make him take the god recovery pill once, he will surely die from swallowing too many pills,” said the other man, who was five years younger.
“Hmmm... You are right, Brother Odin. Let’s take this kid back home,”
Tiberius Julius was the young master of the Tiberius family living in the city of Luminae. The Tiberius family was the leader and ruler of the city. Meanwhile, in Luminae , there were only two powerful families, the Tiberius family and the Starfall family. Every five years, they held a competition to compete for the position of leader and ruler in the city.
Author Note:
Hi, friends! Thank you for visiting my cultivation story.
This year marks the fifth year after the leadership selection in the previous period. That means soon there will be a battle between the young and old generations of two prominent families in the city of Luminae As the young master, Tiberius Julius is chosen to represent his family in the upcoming fight, even though he is considered less talented.“Did he faint again during training?” asked an elegantly dressed elderly man, disappointed, as he saw Tiberius Odin and Tiberius Maxlin come carrying Julius who was unconscious.“You are right, leader. This child is nothing like his father, who had above-average abilities in our family. He is too weak and fragile, easily discouraged, and finds it challenging to grasp the lessons we provide. We’ve given him various rare concoctions, but there’s been no improvement at all,” replied Tiberius Odin, also expressing disappointment.“Hmmmm... it seems this time the city leadership will be under the control of the Starfall family. Not only do we lac
Knock… knock… knock…The sound of Tiberius Julius’s bedroom door being knocked from outside echoed.“Who is it?” Tiberius Julius asked with a firm voice.The one knocking on the door was a servant in the Tiberius family’s house. The man was surprised to hear Tiberius Julius’s commanding tone, as it was uncommon for the young man to speak like that. Normally, he uttered words that sounded uninspired.“It seems the young master is awake. The family leader is calling for you to meet him in the meeting hall. The young master some uncles are already gathered there,” the servant conveyed to Tiberius Julius.“All right, Uncle Miller! I’ll be there shortly to meet them,” Tiberius Julius replied from inside the room.Tiberius Julius’s personal servant, Miller, furrowed his brow at his young master’s behavior. It was unusual for him to be addressed as “uncle” by the young man. Typically, the man in his forties, used coarse terms when referring to people, almost treating them like animals. But t
“Julius, forgive me, your grandfather cannot make you a great Cultivator in this city. Despite being the only genius child of the Tiberius family to have reached the ninth level of the Heavenly Realm. Maybe your father’s talent has passed on to you, but we couldn’t teach you better, so you only have abilities like this,” Tiberius Achilles whispered to his grandson.“I don’t blame you, Grandpa. Maybe I’m just not talented enough,” Tiberius Julius replied, trying to reassure his saddened grandfather.Tiberius Achilles took a deep breath. Then, he pulled something from under his clothes. It turned out to be a book, which he handed over to Tiberius Julius. The young man slowly accepted the book handed to him by his grandfather.“What is this, Grandpa?” Julius asked.“It is a family heirloom book passed down through generations in the Tiberius family. The book guides those who study it to the level of the Spiritual Realm and even to the realm of Semi-Fairies. However, no one in our family
In truth, Miller least wanted to accompany his young master for a stroll around the city where they lived. This was because fights often broke out whenever the young master left the house, even if it was just around their residential area. The young man with the full name Tiberius Julius was notorious for causing trouble in the city. Many residents and cultivators in the city did not like him. However, this time, it seemed that Miller couldn’t refuse his master’s request.After a while of getting ready, Julius emerged from his room. He then invited Uncle Miller to go out of the house and walk around the city on foot. Just a few houses into their journey, Julius was met with disdainful glares from the residents. Several people chose to go in the opposite direction rather than cross paths with Tiberius Julius.“Why do they treat me like this, Uncle Miller? Have I wronged them?” Tiberius Julius asked Miller.Miller’s face changed dramatically. He couldn’t reveal what had actually happene
Smith Gigo’s attack directly hit the shield created by the finger of Tiberius Julius’s hand. The shield formed a bright white light. The brilliance of the shield made Smith Gigo’s almost three-quarters of the deployed attack disappear instantly. The attack was like a drop of water hitting the ocean, leaving no trace.Experiencing this event, Smith Gigo was truly surprised. He did not expect that his launched attack could be blocked by Tiberius Julius. In fact, Smith Gigo had no idea what technique Tiberius Julius used. He had never seen the Tiberius family use a technique that could summon a shield in the form of that light.It wasn’t just Tiberius Julius who made Smith Gigo appear shaken. Even Smith Gigo’s assistants were intimidated by the young master of the Tiberius family. They never expected that the young master of the Tiberius family could defeat their leader. Being mostly low-level cultivators, they could gauge the power possessed by Tiberius Julius. They guessed that Tiberiu
“Excellent, Julius! I really admire your spirit, my grandson. I am confident that you will truly revive the glory of the Tiberius family. There will be no one daring to insult our family anymore. Even the royal palace would think twice before oppressing us,” the leader of the Tiberius family exclaimed to his grandson while patting his shoulder.The leader of the Tiberius family had indeed sensed a significant change in Julius since his fall into the abyss. However, he welcomed this change because his grandson’s previously unruly behavior had done a complete 180° turn. He had great expectations for his beloved grandson to restore the prestigious name of the Tiberius family. The elder even hoped that Julius would follow in his father’s footsteps as a genius of the Tiberius family, although he occasionally realized that his grandson was not a remarkable cultivator like his father.It wasn’t just the leader of the Tiberius family who appreciated the change in Tiberius Julius. Uncle Miller
“Julius, I want you to go to the Tower of the Gods Academy to study there. Only there can you develop your talents into the strongest cultivator. Here, your grandfather and uncles cannot provide much guidance for you to thrive.”Tiberius Achilles seemed visibly burdened delivering the words just now. He didn’t really want to part with his beloved grandson. However, observing the recent progress in Julius’s talents, Tiberius Achilles felt that the child deserved to receive a better cultivation education than what he could get in their current family. He and his other children agreed to send their grandson to the Tower of the Gods Academy, a renowned martial arts school in their country.“If I go, what about the competition to determine which family becomes the leader of this city? In our family, I am the only son, while the other children of my age are all daughters,” Julius replied with a question that made everyone bow their heads, including his grandfather as the leader of the Tiber
For a moment, the two opponents stared at each other. They had no idea that their attacks could be easily avoided by Julius. The attackers themselves were unaware that Julius, as the God of Light, possessed the ability to stop time. Although he could only slow it down at the moment, it was enough to evade their strikes.Julius’s actions truly astonished the two assailants. Apart from the surprise of discovering that Julius was in the second-level Earth Peak Realm, the speed at which Julius dodged their attacks defied their understanding. It was impossible for someone like Julius’s current level to have such an unseen speed, considering that both of their powers far exceeded Julius’s.“Who are you? Why attack me? If you are truly brave, don’t hide your faces. Let’s fight to the bitter end until one of us falls,” Julius challenged his enemies.It seemed that both of them paid no heed to Julius’s words. Instead, they increased their strength even further. Determined to eliminate Julius,
