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 this was the first time he had been called by his own name.
With a puzzled expression and a somewhat pleased feeling, Miller left Tiberius Julius’s room. Meanwhile, Tiberius Julius was washing himself inside the room, using the provided bath. After he tidied up and put on his clothes, the young man headed from his room to the meeting hall. There, he saw many family members gathered.
“Respects to the leader and uncles!” Tiberius Julius exclaimed, bowing to the elders present.
Tiberius Julius’s actions puzzled the elders and even the family leader a bit. It was unlike him to behave politely as he had just demonstrated. Usually, during family meetings, he acted according to his whims. Nevertheless, no one from the family, not even the leader, took any action to reprimand him. The Tiberius family’s only hope was in him, and they didn’t want Tiberius Julius to run away and bring shame to the family.
“How are you, Julius?” the family leader, Tiberius Achilles, asked his grandson.
“I’m getting better,” Julius replied briefly.
“Very well, then sit next to me here,” Tiberius Achilles, the family leader, said, patting the empty chair beside him.
Julius complied with his grandfather’s suggestion. He walked towards the chair next to the family leader and took a seat, observing his surroundings while adjusting the knowledge and memories in his head.
Fundamentally, Tiberius Julius’s condition was more like that of a Light God in terms of soul and memory. Only his physical body belonged entirely to Tiberius Julius. Thus, it could be said that Tiberius Julius was currently a Light God reincarnated in his own body. However, this reincarnation was not in the process of birth but rather a resurrection from death. That’s why Tiberius Julius had to make many adjustments because he was, essentially, a reincarnated Light God.
“Listen, all of you! Our battle with the Starfall family will take place in a month. Considering our current situation, it seems the leadership of the city will be handed over to them. This is because on our side, both the older and younger generations who will represent the family in the fight lack the high abilities to face them. So, I have decided that instead of being embarrassed in the fight, it’s better to directly hand over the power to them, stating that we feel we have led the city for too long and want to take turns with them,” Tiberius Achilles announced.
“Leader, I disagree!”
Upon hearing Tiberius Achilles’s statement, the entire Tiberius family erupted in commotion. Many among them disagreed with the decision made by their elder. Even Maxlin immediately expressed his disagreement, standing up from his seat in protest against the decision made by his family’s leader.
“Do you have a solution, Maxlin? Do you have a way to prevent our family from being disgraced in public later? In the older generation, I am the only one who has reached the seventh level of the heavenly spiritual realm, but as the family leader, I cannot directly intervene as a fighter. Meanwhile, in the younger generation, there is no one we can rely on. All your children are girls, except for Tiberius Williams Lee’s son, this Tiberius Julius. But you know well enough about his abilities, don’t you?” Tiberius Achilles snapped, appearing increasingly angry.
The leader of the Tiberius family was genuinely angry at the children and nephews who protested against his decision. While his own siblings from the older generation dared not utter a word. Indeed, the situation facing the Tiberius family was genuinely serious. If they forced themselves into the battle, it was certain that they would be defeated soundly. Such an event would undoubtedly become the talk of the town, tarnishing their once great reputation.
Everyone fell silent upon hearing Tiberius Achilles’s angry words. For now, none of them had a solution to the problem their family was facing. They acknowledged what the family leader had said – that their family had currently lost its talented individuals. Even the one person expected to be the successor to the Tiberius family had disappeared without a trace.
That person was Tiberius Williams Lee, the biological father of Tiberius Julius. Among the Tiberius family, he was the only one who had reached the ninth level of the heavenly spiritual realm. However, for ten years, there had been no news of Tiberius Julius’s father; he seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth. He disappeared after the murder of his wife by an unknown assailant, and the identity of the perpetrator remained unknown to this day. Many speculated that Tiberius Williams Lee was seeking the murderer of his wife.
“If you insist, I’ll give you a chance three weeks from now to find the best solution for our family. If, within three weeks, you still haven’t found a way, then you must abide by all my decisions,” Tiberius Achilles concluded the discussion.
Then, the leader of the Tiberius family instructed Tiberius Julius to follow him to the back of the main house. Without many questions, Julius followed his grandfather’s command. He didn’t know what his family leader wanted to discuss, but he continued to follow the footsteps of the elder towards the backyard. Once there, Tiberius Achilles immediately took a seat in a garden chair, while Julius knelt in front of him.
“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,
“You may enter directly!” the guard said.Julius looked puzzled. Unlike others who had to pass through two trial stones first, he was now directly invited to enter. After a moment of silence, Julius moved away from the guard towards the entrance.“Wait! Although he has a special recommendation letter from someone, he still needs to undergo the examination of the rough body level and the purity of the soul he possesses.”A loud shout was heard, causing Julius to reconsider stepping into the academy. A man dressed entirely in white, with white hair, emerged from inside. The face of the old man, around 60 years old, looked menacing and full of authority. Seeing the person approaching the entrance gate of the Tower of the Gods Academy, everyone immediately stood, facing the old man.“Respect to the Vice Chairman of the Tower of the Gods, may the headmaster live long!” the Tower of the Gods students shouted simultaneously.“Rise, all of you, and continue your task of selecting potential in
Aware of his mistake in entering without greeting, Tiberius Li Julius turned around and bowed in respect to the senior student who had just reprimanded him. However, it seemed that the senior student intended to pick a fight with Tiberius Li Julius. After the young man turned around and bowed, he received a kick from his senior in the same tower group, causing him to fall to the ground. The incident made everyone present burst into laughter, except for another young man with slightly darker skin.This young man was in the same group as Julius and belonged to the same batch. He was the young master from the Blackthorn Family, hailing from the city of Azure Peak in the east. His name was Galen Blackthorn, a young man around 17 years old. He disliked seeing others oppressed in front of him. Galen Blackthorn, with his sturdy and tall figure and dark skin, immediately approached Julius and helped him up.As Julius got up, he raised his head and stared sharply at the seniors who were at the
Boom!A powerful explosion occurred as the Demon God Emperor was about to strike Julius’s body. Suddenly, from the body of the highest God Emperor emerged an immensely powerful force. A bright white light directly struck the Demon God Emperor, causing him to be thrown back forcefully.Julius began to regain consciousness. The power emanating from his body slowly built up his awareness. Now, the youth had achieved the perfect form as the Supreme God Emperor. The Emperor of God Light.“I never expected you could cause such great damage, Demon God Emperor. After several reincarnations, I finally realized that you are the mastermind behind the chaos in the human and god realms. As the Supreme Ruler of the Gods, it is my duty to punish you for what you have done!” exclaimed the Emperor of God Light.“Hahaha, you are too late, Blaze Chen! I have already disrupted the entire order of the universe. Many gods have died, weakening the universe. I have absorbed the power of many humans through th
The sky grew darker. The universe seemed to be engulfed in a fierce storm. Two cosmic forces were locked in battle.“W-what’s happening?”Humans, spiritual beings, and other living creatures across distant lands felt fear as they witnessed the unfolding chaos. The entire universe was caught in the throes of a mighty clash between two great powers.The Demon God Emperor himself, after ordering his minions to attack the Gods aligned with the Emperor of Light, began to unleash his full power. He soared into the sky, extending his hands. Dark energy surged from within him, radiating outwards in all directions. Only places protected by arrays, and the Gods themselves, remained untouched by this darkness.Meanwhile, Hidalgo continued to focus his power to reach its peak. He did this to merge all his strength and essence with the body of the Emperor of Light. He was willing to sacrifice everything, even if it meant his soul would be destroyed and vanish from the universe forever.“It seems t
The Demon Goddess attacked the Emperor of the God of Light who was still unconscious and under the protection of the Sword of Universal Light. The first attack couldn’t break through the shield guarding the son of the Heavenly Emperor. Instead, the Demon Goddess herself was thrown back when she attacked with the Spear of Devastating Hellfire. Fortunately, the Demon Goddess wore armor that could protect her from the power of the Sword of Universal Light.The Demon Goddess soared through the air after being thrown by the Sword of Universal Light. After pausing for a moment, the Demon Goddess, who was under the control of the power of the Demon God Emperor, launched another attack. She raised the spear in her hand towards the sky. The true power of the Spear of Devastating Hellfire radiated strongly.“Haaaaa!”The Demon God Emperor shouted loudly. However, the cry came from the mouth of the Demon Goddess. Then, still under the influence of the Demon God Emperor, the Demon Goddess attacke
The universe was in great turmoil. The Emperor of the Light Gods had lost consciousness, while the Emperor of the Demon Gods rose with his maximum power. Who would have thought that he was the mastermind behind all the chaos in the universe all this time.“Demon Goddess, finish off that child!”The Emperor of the Demon Gods touched the shoulder of the Demon Goddess. Instantly, the wounds she suffered from the battle with Hidalgo healed as if by magic. The gaze of the Demon Goddess began to look terrifyingly sharp. There was deep-seated vengeance contained in that gaze towards Hidalgo.“Li Julius, our end is near today!” muttered Hidalgo as he looked towards the body of Li Julius, the Emperor of the Light Gods, who was lying there enveloped in the power of the Sword of the Universe’s Light protecting him.The Demon Goddess moved very quickly to attack Hidalgo. Her power this time increased many times over. The young man didn’t have time to evade the attack. He was immediately thrown ba
The battle between the Emperor of the light gods and the dark figure was even more intense. Although still under the power of the Emperor of the light gods, the creature was only half a level behind the strongest god. Thus, it could still evade the attacks launched by the Emperor of the light gods, although it was enough to leave it somewhat stunned.As time passed, the consciousness of the Emperor of the light gods diminished. This also caused the concentration of the Emperor of the gods to decrease. Of course, this condition also weakened his strength. Until a few moments later, the situation turned, and the black creature now stood above the wind.Hidalgo, whose attention had been divided several times towards the battle of the God Emperor, noticed the Emperor of the Light God’s worsening condition. This was the reason why Hidalgo couldn’t easily defeat the Demon Goddess. His divided concentration made his power less than maximum.“It seems like Li Julius is starting to lose consci
“Trouble!”Demon King Williams Lee looked extremely panicked witnessing the change in power displayed by the Emperor of the Light Gods. The longer the Emperor of the Light Gods displayed his power, the greater and more frightening he became. Even though he had merged souls and powers, he still couldn’t match a quarter of the power of the Emperor of the Light Gods.Demon King Williams Lee glanced towards the Palace of Darkness. He felt relieved knowing that the power accumulated by the palace was almost complete. That meant his lord would soon rise. Only his lord was the only hope to confront the Emperor of the Light Gods.Julius, the emperor of the light gods, had finished gathering his strength. He immediately dashed to attack. With all his might, Demon King Tiberius Williams Lee managed to defeat his strength to fend off the attack. However, he still couldn’t avoid disaster. The power of the Emperor of the Light Gods was truly immense, and he couldn’t overcome it.Demon King Tiberi
After agreeing to merge the soul and body of Tiberius Williams Lee and the Demon King, they immediately separated. They began to perform the fusion technique. Meanwhile, thousands of demons and Tiberius Williams Lee’s followers formed a formation to defend themselves and prevent Julius from interfering.Li Julius realized the danger of merging the two beings. Although it wouldn’t have the same strength as his own, it would still be dangerous. Moreover, Julius still couldn’t fully utilize his own power. Certainly, the merger of the two creatures’ strengths would pose a great threat to Julius.Hidalgo shared the same concern as his brother. However, he couldn’t do much due to his weakening condition. Currently, only Julius’s power could be relied upon to fight against the demons.Julius realized that the hopes of the gods and humans now rested solely on his shoulders. That was what he lamented because none of the gods or humans could match the opponent’s strength. While the power he pos
“Do not let the Emperor of the Light Gods destroy the center of darkness power gatherer!” Williams Lee shouted, reminding everyone.Leading the demons to protect the center point of darkness power within the dark palace was none other than the leader of the demons themselves. He possessed the same power level as Tiberius Williams Lee, who resided in the realm of the Emperor of the Light Gods. The leader of the demons, who had once successfully seized Nirvana from the hands of the heavenly emperor, was taken aback by Williams Lee’s condition at that moment.The demon leader saw him truly in a pitiful state, despite being in the realm of the Emperor of the Light Gods, just like himself. The demon leader immediately concluded that the Emperor of the Light Gods had succeeded in awakening his true power. This meant he would face an opponent who possessed far greater power than his own.“Demon King, the true power of the Emperor of the Light Gods is only temporary; he can only wield it for
The Emperor of the Light God struggled a bit to build a portal to connect that place to the dimension of his creation. He, who had not yet reached his full strength, found it somewhat difficult to do it all. Opening a portal that connects two realms of dimensions is indeed very difficult. Tiberius Williams Lee alone required the power of hundreds of thousands of demons plus the power of darkness to be able to do it.If the Emperor of the Light God could already use his power without limitations, surely he would do it easily. Because the Emperor of the Light God is also known as the Ruler of Space and Time. He who created many places and times in this universe. Unfortunately, he finds it very difficult to use that ability with the limitations of the power he possesses.Actually, there is another way he could open the portal to that dimensional gate if he were right at the pagoda of the Tower of the Gods academy. By using the dimensional bridge pagoda that he had used to go to Nirvana w
