《Island of Gods》


 1 STRANGE WORLD AND THE NEW FRIEND

    Shining in the dim light, small waves slowly crashed onto a coast. The water was crystal clear, and no signs of filth could be seen unlike those coasts near human settlements. However, surprisingly there was some strange debris ''thrown'' by the waves on the coast.


    Param felt something caressing his face and slowly opened his eyes. The waves arrived and retreated in a rhythm, splashing his face with crystal clear water. He got up and scanned his surroundings, and asked the question every transmigrator has to ask:


    F*ck, where am I?


    He remembered riding a peddling boat in a carnival in a lake. Then fog arrived and he kept drifting with his boat for a long, long time. Eventually he felt weak and lost his consciousness.


    He heaved a sigh of relief. At least he was still alive! His first thought was to look around and understand where exactly he''d drifted to. He may have drifted to the other side of the lake, which was outside the city.


    Time passed, and Param sat down on the ground with his head scratching. Somehow he had arrived on an island which was in the middle of nowhere. The island was extremely strange. The strange part was not the fact that the whole island was barren, with no signs of plant and animal life, nor the fact that even the stones and sand of the island looked extremely smooth, fragrant and high quality, but the fact that there was a huge crystal pillar at the center of the island! Even though the pillar had a normal exterior, Param knew that it was extraordinary just by the words engraved over it. The words were written in some unknown, archaic language, but Param still was able to easily read them. The words were written in bold strokes and seemed extremely unfathomable.


    Authority!


    Param could not help himself but snort when he read this. This is clearly the work of some seriously delusional person! He returned to the starting point and scratched his head in frustration. He could not gain any clues all this while, except for one conclusion.


    Perhaps he was no longer on Earth.


    He had this idea when he accidentally looked above in the sky. The sky looked completely blank, with no signs of any celestial bodies. However, the sky still emitted a dim white light. That was the reason he could still see around him.


    Time flew by and a week passed.


    Param now had confirmed a few surprising conclusions. First, it seemed like he was no longer human. This was because he had not eaten anything for a week and he was still as fit as a bull. There was never a moment when he felt weakness or dizziness. His innate minor problems and diseased that had troubled him for a long time even vanished. Furthermore, he discovered that he no longer needed to breathe, sleep or excrete. Param almost cried when he discovered this, and was troubled whether he was turning into a monster. In fact, he''d perhaps indeed turned into a monster, because he realized that he had gained disastrous strength. If he wished, he could even create booming noises just by punching in the air.


    Another fact was that he was indeed not on Earth. This was because he could somehow sense that this world was filled with various kinds of unfamiliar energies. Even the island where he lived on, the sea surrounding the island, and the sky above contained different kinds of energies.


    Another week passed.


    Param was slouching on the ground with his eyes closed. He was frightened that he would open his eyes and see the same brown land, the same sea, and the same dim white sky. He could feel that he was terribly bored, and his mind was breaking. So he decided¡­


    He would seek death!


    Opening his eyes, he stood up and leaped in the air like a frog. A vacuum pocket was created behind him as he flew in the air. This was another ability he''d recently discovered.


    There were no clouds or markings in the sky, and he could not guess how far he had traveled into the sky. Looking down, he saw down and shivered. The island had become the size of a palm and was slowly disappearing! How far had he flown away?


    At this moment a unique sense of joy came into his heart. He had always wanted to do dangerous stuff like sky diving, para-gliding and bungee jumping. But being a coward, he only dared to dream instead of doing it actually.


    Steeling his heart, he decided to fly higher and his body flew upwards. However he realized that he was slowly losing his flight power. No matter how he willed, his speed kept reducing and eventually he came to a standstill. At this moment the island had become a dot. The dot was surrounded by vast ocean of crystal clear water, and was silent except for a few small and medium waves.


    Suddenly, Param saw something extraordinary. A long distance from the island was a patch of white in the water. This patch was white was very eye-catching in the crystal clear water. For Param who was bored to death this was something extremely tempting and he flew towards the white dot.


    The white dot grew larger and larger until it grew as large as the size of the island. The surface of the white dot was not solid, and was extremely viscous. Param flew a few inches over the viscous liquid and felt the liquid with his hand.


    The white liquid was extremely strange. Not only did he sense a strong energy from the liquid, he could feel that it was filled with scattered fragments of consciousness, as if a huge entity had his brain cut into pieces, working individually.


    Unconsciously energy was released from his palm which traveled into the white water, and he felt the scattered fragments react.


    "Who are you?"


    Param heard a vague voice in his spiritual consciousness. The voice came from the scattered fragments in the white water. His eyebrows rose in surprise. He only knew that his mind had developed into something mysterious known as the ''spiritual consciousness'', but he didn''t know how to use it. So he could only reply using his mouth.


    "I am Param."


    It was the first time in two weeks that he had spoken, and that was his name. His words seemed to carry a mysterious power, and both Param and the scattered fragments in the white liquid felt some large changed occurring outside the three dimensions.


    Some time passed, and when Param was almost about to leave he heard a small voice in his spiritual consciousness.


    "I see."


    At first, Param was confused. What did that mean? Then suddenly he realized. About an hour ago he had told his name, and now came the reply.


    What a terrible lag!


    Maybe the white water is just slow to think, he thought. But he was happy, at least now he had someone to talk to! So he opened his mouth to ask:


    "So, what are you?"


    One hour later¡­


    "Spiritual Ocean"


    Param furrowed his brows. "What does that mean?"


    One hour later¡­


    "Spiritual Ocean"


    Param smacked his face and tried a different approach. "Do you have a name?"


    "No"


    Param nodded like an expert. "In that case, you shall be White."


    One hour later¡­


    "Ok"


    The discovery of White gave another direction to Param''s life. His greatest fear changed from ''being bored to death'' to ''asking a stupid question to White''. After all, waiting for White''s reply was quite painful!


    After many dozens of questions, Param finally grasped the trick. As long as he was careful and didn''t ask ''Wh'' questions or questions with long answers, White would definitely reply. All other questions would otherwise be rejected. And the painful thing was that White would take an hour to say: "Question rejected!"


    A few days later¡­


    Param was slouching on a crystal white sofa bragging about his past. The crystal white sofa was requested by Param and created by White. Of course, it also came with a reply: "Shameless!"


    But how could Param become embarrassed by something said by some mere white colored water? He comfortably slouched on the sofa and bragged nonstop. Although the sofa was as hard as diamond, he didn''t feel any discomfort with his crazy strong body.


    The amusing thing was that there would sometimes be supernatural phenomenon when he spoke, and changes in climate were common. This would have been a beautiful scene, however the speaker was not explaining some Grand Dao, but a fake story about how he saved seventeen people from dying, how he had kissed his college professor, and how he''d fought against a cheetah.


    Param spoke so much that his throat became dry even in spite of having a supernatural body, and realized that there was no response from this beloved audience.


    White is becoming more and more arrogant! Param cursed inside and snorted. He closed his eyes and decided to sleep. Although he didn''t need to sleep, he still sometimes did for the pleasure of it. During sleep his spiritual consciousness would be active and he could analyze and contemplate things more clearly during this moment.


    Unknown to him, White''s body silently shone with a dim white light and something invaded Param''s consciousness.


    In his sleep, Param saw a clear dream. A woman with long hair and long robes flew around him slowly. Her hair and clothes existed between illusion and reality, and it seemed that she could change their form according to her will. Her body was very curvaceous, with the proper curves in the proper places. Her skin shone with vitality and her face was beautiful with a pair of small red lips.


    Param finally realized what this was. This were his withdrawal symptoms from lack of watching p*rn. He woke up and maintained and half-conscious state, and used his left hand to relieve himself from the accumulated stress.


    In his dream, the fairy-like woman danced seductively, sending waves of lust in Param''s spiritual consciousness. His body felt heated and his hand increased it''s speed.


    This was truly a beautiful scene where a powerful transcended man rested on a gorgeous crystal white sofa while relieving himself of his sexual frustration.


    In his dream, the seductive woman reached the height of her dance, and similarly Param himself reached climax, and surprisingly they finished together.


    Golden fluid flew out and fell on White''s body, slowly disappearing inside. White''s body stopped shining, and the fairy-like woman disappeared in a flash in Param''s dream.


    He opened his eyes and gazed into the distance, remembering the woman in his dreams. He couldn''t help but think, that woman was really hot!


    After a while, he suddenly furrowed his brows. He could sense some changes happening to White''s body. His sofa suddenly shook and threw him in the air. Param flew a little and stabilized himself. When he looked down, he realized that his beloved sofa was gone! He arrived near White and sensed the changes inside.


    It seemed that the scattered fragments were converging, forming a singular entity. Param was excited. Did this mean that White was taking a physical form? He became a little worried. After all, White was just a bunch of scattered consciousness. This process was like building a house from wooden planks.


    Surprisingly, he sensed another spiritual consciousness within White being created. This consciousness was completely blank like a newborn, unlike White which was almost impossible to invade and filled with various kinds of knowledge.


    At this moment he received a lengthy message from White.


    "Go back to the island. Learn from the Authority Pillar. Awaken the spirit of the island."


    During these previous dozens of weeks Param had repeatedly nagged over how he was kidnapped from Earth to the island.


    "What about you?" Param asked. From weeks of conversation, he could determine that although White talked extremely less, it was extremely smart and had a real personality.


    White didn''t reply. Instead, it turned into a large palm and swatted Param into the air like a fly.

 2 FIGHT INSIDE THE SPIRITUAL CONSCIOUSNESS

    The smack was a little too powerful and Param only stabilized himself after flying a few dozen meters away. He looked at White and scanned it with his spiritual sense, and only after he was satisfied did he decide to return to the island. While flying back he remembered what White said.


    "Go back to the island. Learn from the Authority Pillar. Awaken the spirit of the island."


    Isn''t this the longest that White has spoken? He smiled as he thought that. Returning to the island, he went straight towards the so called ''Authority Pillar''.


    The Authority Pillar looked like it was made of glass-like crystals, except that it was sky-blue in color. The words ''Authority'' was written in bold strokes in an ancient and archaic language.


    Param sighed as he said: "Authority Pillar." His words seemed to have an effect as the Authority Pillar gave off a faint light, and small white lights could be seen inside travelling as if in an electronic circuit.


    He sat down in front of the pillar in lotus position and closed his eyes. The Authority Pillar hummed a little, and Param felt his spiritual consciousness connect to the Pillar. The clothes over his body were made of energy, just like those of in the woman in his dreams, and the fluttered lightly even though there was no wind in the air.


    Immediately, Param felt a lot of globes of light filled with archaic characters inside something similar to spiritual consciousness of the Pillar. These globes of light had different sizes, and could roughly be divided into small, medium, large, and extremely large sizes. The largest globe of light was in the center, floating high above all. The size of the ball determined the level of knowledge and the amount of archaic characters inside. He used his own spiritual sense and an immaterial tentacle connected to a small-sized ball of light. The archaic characters quickly appeared inside his spiritual consciousness and presented before him. The characters were unlike mortal characters, and each one of them seemed to be connected to some phenomenon. Each word contained thousands of meanings and variations, and could not be read by mortals.


    With his new powerful mind, Param quickly finished reading and moved to the next globe. Second, Third, Fourth¡­.Param greedily absorbed knowledge as he moved to next small-sized globes.


    Time passed, and when he finished the tenth small-sized globe Param suddenly felt a heart-rending pain.


    "Aaaggghhh!" He screamed as he felt his spiritual consciousness fracturing. He rolled around in pain, and soon fainted.


    Inside Param''s spiritual consciousness, the archaic characters were wreaking havoc as they corroded it from inside.


    "F*ck!" he exclaimed. From what he''d learned from the Authority Pillar, the spiritual consciousness was something that connected the soul and the body, and was akin to an operating system. The spiritual consciousness protected and encapsulated the soul. If his spiritual consciousness was damaged, if would have to say goodbye to his awesome body. Even worse, if his spiritual consciousness was destroyed, then he could only wander in this world as a soul.


    As he thought of how to deal with this situation, cracks appeared in various places, and started to spread around like spider-webs. Seeing this he immediately used his spiritual sense and tried to control some of the mild archaic characters. They were ''Still'' related characters, pertaining to stillness and inaction.


    Gaining control of the archaic character, he immediately used it against another archaic character. The character resembled a gigantic golem, and was tens of kilometers in height. It''s each step created horrible tremors throughout the spiritual consciousness, and it occasionally turned immaterial and displayed it''s archaic character- ''Heavy''.


    "Go!" Param shouted, and launched the ''Still'' archaic character using his spiritual sense. However, the archaic character stopped the moment it lost contact with his spiritual sense and floated in the air.


    "Hmm? What happened?" Param furrowed his brows as he checked the archaic character with his divine sense. Moments later, he became stunned as he looked at the ''Still'' archaic character floating in the air.


    The archaic character did not have problems, but rather it''s nature was to be in a still, frozen state that it did not move.


    "So troublesome." He mumbled and grabbed the character and flew towards the ''Heavy'' archaic character. The latter looked at its landlord and stamped in that direction.


    "This bastard!" Param cursed as he dodged and flew near the archaic character. The golem tried to swat away its landlord but did not succeed. Finally Param slapped his palm carrying the ''Still'' archaic character onto its body. The golem roared, unwilling to be controlled by someone else.


    "Obey!"


    Param softly spoke. His words seemed to have a mysterious effect, and the huge golem disappeared, transforming back into an archaic character. He had just captured it with his spiritual sense when he sensed danger. He immediately dodged to the side, only to get kicked in the face.


    *Bam*


    Param flew in a parabolic path, but immediately stabilized himself above. He was fortunate because his attacker had already reached the place where he would have fallen. He glanced at the figure below, only to see a gorilla sneering at him disdainfully. At the same moment his body turned immaterial for a moment, displaying his true form, an archaic character- ''Martial''.


    "This bastard!" Param rapidly flew towards the gorilla while materializing a saber. The gorilla similarly materialized another saber, which was fancier than his own. He slashed upwards while the gorilla slashed at a weird angle, aiming at his wrist.


    How could Param, a novice, fight against the gorilla \u003cMartial\u003e, a born expert? The saber slashed, and a palm holding a saber fell down. Param fell on the ground while bouncing a few times. He got up and held his regenerating palm, looking at the gorilla with hatred. Moments later his palm reappeared, and the gorilla held a fighting stance like an expert.


    "Humph." Param snorted, and flew upwards at subsonic speed. After reaching a satisfactory height, he flew downwards while activating an archaic character- ''Heavy''!


    He reached the ground in a few seconds and collided heavily, creating a shockwave. The archaic characters, including the gorilla that was near the crash point were damaged, and reverted to their true forms. He quickly used his spiritual sense to lock on to those archaic characters and seal them.


    After capturing them with his spiritual sense, he turned his head towards another character and laughed.


    "Hehehe. You guys are dead now."


    A long time later¡­


    "Two left¡­" Param spoke as he forcefully controlled an archaic rune and locked it with his spiritual sense. The two remaining archaic characters were a little special, as they behaved extremely human-like. One of the characters looked like an innocent courageous boy, who seemed to be protected the other archaic character in the shape of a little girl. The innocent girl even gave a sobbing expression. It seemed that they were terribly affected by his previous ruthless methods.


    Param looked at them as he activated an archaic character in his disposal. His eyes became clearer, and an archaic character floated in each of his eyes- ''Truth''. Using the archaic character he could see their actual form. The true form of the courageous boy was actually the archaic word ''Protect'', but what surprised him was the little girl behind the boy, whose archaic character had two attributes- "Heal, Life".


    In excitement he could not help himself but walk towards them. The courageous boy immediately summoned a sword and shield and took a stance like a knight.


    F*ck! Little kid, even if you have to act like a hero, you don''t have to make me a villain!


    He raised his hands as a sign of surrender and smiled.


    "It''s okay. You don''t need to be afraid, I mean no harm."


    He indeed looked harmless, with thin body and lazy appearance, but when the two kids glanced at the archaic characters sealed behind the scary man they shivered in fear and the sword and shield in the courageous boy''s hands grew a notch larger in size.


    Param sighed at their reaction. So troublesome!


    "How about this? If you agree to do as I say, I won''t seal the both of you."


    Hearing this, the little girl quickly nodded, while the courageous boy frowned. Apparently he did not seem to trust this scary man. Param couldn''t be bothered and waved at them.


    "\u003cHeal, Life\u003e come, can you repair this?" he asked pointing at the cracks on the spiritual consciousness. The little girl made a troubled expression and activated her power. A mysterious power flowed towards the crack, and the cracks started to heal. However, Param with his \u003cTruth\u003e could see that it was not very efficient, and a lot of this mysterious power was wasted.


    He stopped the little girl and thought for a while. Suddenly he was inspired by an idea and activated an archaic character- ''Formation''. The character itself had many variations, and each variation followed certain rules. Soon formations covered the fractured parts.


    "Try now." He encouraged the little girl. The little girl nodded and used her ability again. This time the formations showed their effect and the cracks healed rapidly, and the courageous boy was astonished- the scary guy is perhaps not as useless as he seems! At this moment he saw Param looking at him and he immediately looked elsewhere, afraid that the latter would read his thoughts.


    Param sensed his spiritual consciousness and found that all damages have been healed. He swore that he would never study so diligently.


    Studying is injurious to health!


    But wouldn''t he be injured every time he used the Authority Pillar? Param thought over this, and realized that he was injured only because his spiritual consciousness was too weak. Hence, he must first strengthen his spiritual consciousness!


    Thinking this activated an archaic character- ''Soldier''. The character had the form of a young androgynous teenager, and Param thought how such a young person can even become a soldier. He then called \u003cProtect\u003e and said as he grandly waved his sleeves.


    "Do you thing."


    The courageous boy secretly snorted twice, then used his power to complement the ''Soldier'' archaic character. The soldier transformed, changing from a teenager to an attractive young person. His gear changed, looking more magnificent and pronounced. Perhaps now he had changed from a soldier to elite solider.


    No matter what, you are still a soldier! Param consoled himself as he thought this.


    With his spiritual consciousness fixed, he exited to finish another task.

 3 THE SUN AND THE RAINBOW

    Exiting his spiritual consciousness, Param glanced around the island. The island was completely desolate, and except for a few places was extremely plain, akin to a man-made island. Param glanced at the Authority Pillar and trembled a little. He still remembered the earlier pain, and would definitely want to avoid it if possible.


    The Authority Pillar was extremely mysterious, and when Param connected to it he realized that his supernatural power in one way came originated from it. That was the same reason why he couldn''t far beyond a certain distance above in the sky.


    However, the pain he suffered this time was not in vain. He gained a lot of knowledge from the pillar, and now he didn''t need to use his innate spiritual energy to manipulate natural phenomenon. Also, he didn''t notice that he''d grown a blue-white crystal on his forehead when he retreated from the Authority Pillar.


    All that''s left is to awaken the spirit of the island, he thought. In fact, he''d lost sensed another consciousness similar to White existing in the island, however at that time he had no technical knowledge.


    He dug a hole big enough to fit him and buried himself inside. As he didn''t need to breathe and eat, he could easily stay underground for a few weeks or even months. He concentrated, using his spiritual sense to scan the entire island. The island was at least thrice as deep as it was wide, and there were even underground rivers formed of pure energy. However, this energy was unlike his mild and immaterial spiritual energy. Instead, it extremely wild and unrestrained, and was more materialistic. While spiritual energy was suited for spiritual consciousness, profound energy seemed to be suited for the flesh.


    Scanning the entire island body, he found that although the island also contained an existence with scattered consciousness, the case was completely different from White. The spiritual consciousness on the island only existed in those underground rivers. But he could not completely extract them, as it would affect the vitality in the island''s land.


    He scratched his head for a while, thinking of a solution. Finally he thought of an idea, and activated an archaic character- ''Formation''. With spiritual consciousness as a guide, formations were set up throughout the island. Profound energy was extremely wild and unstable, and could only be passively controlled. He activated another archaic character- ''Restrain'', suppressing the profound energy for a short moment. He extracted the majority of the profound energy, leaving a small amount to keep cycling around.


    Param sensed that the archaic character ''Restrain'' could not properly suppress the profound energy, and it kept struggling. He could feel that the suppression over the energy was growing weaker with each moment, and could explode anytime. He immediately guided it to the center of the formation, where he''d created his masterpiece. The profound energy was forced to assume a spherical shape, and Param activated another archaic character- ''Refine''.


    The character was extremely domineering, and Param remembered how difficult was it to seal this archaic character, and there was even a moment where even he was almost refined!


    Param used the formation and the archaic characters ''Restrain'' and ''Refine'' successively, and after a long time was able to gather the scattered fragments to rebuild the spiritual consciousness. However, the spiritual consciousness was still inactive and without a physical body.


    Param guided the profound energy while simultaneously activating another archaic character- ''Heal, Life''. The character immediately combined the profound energy and the matter around it, forming an egg.


    It''s finally finished, he thought and closed his eyes. Unknowingly, he fell asleep while still meditating. In his dream, he thought about various things, and felt a little uncertain. Thinking about the present world made him feel hilarious. The only source of light in the present world was White, and it was the light emitted by White''s body that the sky reflected!


    It would have been good if there was at least a sun, he thought. He didn''t realize that at this moment the crystal on his forehead suddenly shone with light and released tremendous heat. The heat looked materialistic and flew in the sky in a curved path, gathering at a single point. The ball of heat became larger and larger, and eventually grew into the size of the island. With the sun''s heat, the ground of the island started melting, and even started to form lava.


    At this moment Param woke up as he felt that his butt was on fire.


    "F*ck! What the hell happened?" Param screamed as he looked around. In just a few moments he found the culprit and cursed.


    "Where did this guy pop from?"


    He used his spiritual energy to push the sun further into the atmosphere and tried to drive it away. The sun was pushed further and further, until it reached the same height which Param had reached before.


    "That should do it." He nodded and went back to the island. He put his hand on the ground and used his spiritual sense to inspect the egg.


    Dear egg, please don''t get cooked!


    However, it seemed that he didn''t have to worry. In fact, the egg had even absorbed a portion of the heat. Checking its condition, it looked like it would take some time to finish creating its physical form. Using his spiritual sense, he scanned the underground rivers, which now he called ''profound veins''. The profound veins were now much calm and not as unruly as before.


    "Humph! Now I''ll show you!" Param said as he used his spiritual sense to activate one archaic character after another and set up another formation to refine the wild profound veins. The profound veins had lost their strength but were still arrogant and refused to be refined. But how could it succeed in rebelling when even its main body was refined? The profound veins passed through the refining formation, successfully getting refined. The refining formation used by Param was not as domineering like the one he''d used before, and was much milder in it''s efforts, as he wanted the profound veins to develop a new spiritual consciousness.


    The profound veins, on passing through the formation became purer and more active, although it still maintained its wild character. He could see it vaguely take the shape of a creature, with a lion-like head, deer-like horns, bull-like ears, snake-like body and eagle-like claws.


    Yes, it was a dragon.


    The dragon roared and sent shock-waves underground, arrogantly displaying its might and unwillingness to be refined. Param shook his head. He couldn''t be bothered by show-offs like it. Anyways, the profound vein dragon will ''enjoy'' getting refined after each cycle. Thinking about this made him happy.


    He meditated for a while to recover his energy, while silently thinking about his next plans. He had vaguely understood what he wanted to do- he wanted someone for companionship. But how was he supposed to do that?


    He must take one step at a time, Param thought. So first he decided to create a river. Although the ocean water wasn''t salty, he felt that a river was definitely necessary. But how could he create an ordinary river? If he created something, it is a given that it must have some sentience.


    Flying to the shore, he made a grabbing motion and a large amount of water four times the size of the island floated near him.


    "This will do." Param nodded and again activated many archaic characters, refining the water. The large water ball grew smaller and smaller in size, until it was sixteen times smaller. The water ball now was slightly blue in color, and occasionally reflected light.


    Light?


    Param glanced upwards, and saw the sun which he''d thrown in the sky. An idea came into his mind, and he grew excited.


    Although he had personally refined the sun and the ocean water, his refining skills were not good and could only develop a primitive level of spiritual consciousness, while the quality of the consciousness depended on the quality of the materials themselves. That is why he now had the idea of using natural phenomenon to slowly and steadily refine the ocean water.


    He made a grabbing motion in the air, and pulled his fist down. The sun floating at the borders of the sky seemed to be pulled by something as it slowly descended. Placing it at the center of the sky, he pointed a path in the air. The water from the water ball immediately followed this path and flew above the sun. The water was split into two and flowed in a circular pattern in the air until it met the sun in a pincer.


    The water did not collide with the sun, but merely created a bubble of water around it. The water used for creating the bubble was refined by the extreme heat of the sun, and flew down after being refined. The downward flowing water created wide and powerful waterfall, and it seemed as if water was falling from the heavens itself. When the water reached the ground, it immediately flowed in a predestined path created by the mighty creator, passing through various places on the island. After reaching the edge of the island, it suddenly flowed upwards into the sky, like a reverse waterfall and met at a point in the sky. This point was exactly opposite to the sun, which was now wrapped inside a layer of water. The water at the top of the reverse waterfall split into two, completing the circle in the sky.


    At this moment, a full rainbow circle formed at the top of the reverse waterfall, and looked like another celestial body.


    Param admired his creation and could not help but think: This bro is so awesome!


    He thought for a while, hesitating. Finally deciding on something, he looked at the sun and said:


    "You shall be Yang!"


    In response the sun became bright red and more fierce and domineering. Also, a small white dot appeared at its center. The water bubble seemed to have difficulty restraining the sun. But Param didn''t seem to care as he turned his head towards the rainbow and said.


    "You shall be Yin!"


    Immediately, the rainbow shined brightly with light, and myriad of colors unseen by mortal eyes were added to the rainbow. The rainbow circle cutely expanded and contracted as if to approve his sentence. At the same time, the rainbow circle was enveloped by a white layer, and at the center was a small red light. These changes seemed to make the water colder and more powerful.


    Param smacked his lips as he sensed two spiritual consciousness''s beginning to form, albeit at an extremely slow pace. He decided to speed up the process and activated an archaic character- ''Heal, Life''.


    Two copies of the archaic character smacked themselves onto the sun and the rainbow. Param used his spiritual sense to scan the two. With the archaic character as a guide, a complex and high level spiritual consciousness began to take form in the two celestial bodies.


    Param laughed and couldn''t help but shout.


    "I am the best!"

 4 LOVE SONG AND THE FAIRY GUES

    After venting out his feelings, Param sat down to meditate and replenish his spiritual power. Although it looked easy, undertaking such a huge task was extremely difficult. The island didn''t have a day and night cycle, so Param didn''t realize that he''d meditated for seven days straight.


    Opening his eyes, he felt extremely refreshed and full of energy. It was time to pay a visit to White. He flew slowly, while occasionally glancing back. The sun and rainbow circle looked extremely eye-catching, and one could feel its tremendous energy from a distance.


    "Such a thing could only be created by some peerless existence." Param exclaimed. The ocean beneath him created waves as if giggling at his bragging. Soon he reached White''s domain, and the changes there surprised him.


    The viscous white liquid had transformed into white crystals, forming a small white island. The crystals were extremely hard and hummed occasionally with some sort of energy. At the center of the white island was a large rock, and he could sense White''s spiritual consciousness. It was vast and gentle, like the ocean.


    He scanned the rock with his spiritual sense and found another spiritual consciousness, albeit an incomplete one. It didn''t seem to be fully born, perhaps in a half-born state.


    He thought of using archaic characters to help White, but later decided against it. After all, he couldn''t guarantee that he would mess up the natural process and harm White.


    He sat down on the white ground, slouching on one side. He opened his mouth but couldn''t think of anything to say. So, he sang-


    "If my lover''s life was never short,


    Does the world need any legendary stories?


    If a moth''s afraid of fire,


    How can this short life be magnificent?


    Like being wrapped around with a silk cloth,


    Like golden shackles with jade inside,


    Like snow dancing while falling,


    So beautiful, to live for death¡­."


    Although it was just an opening song for some minor drama he''d heard, Param sang with complete sincerity. The ocean had turned quiet, with no waves, and even the wind turned silent, as if it did not dare to disturb his singing.


    Param reached the end of the song.


    "¡­Wasted a lot of our youth,


    Wasted months and years,


    Missed each other in one reincarnation,


    The one forgotten is me.


    Familiar silhouette,


    Became mottled in tears,


    Looking at it but can''t touch it,


    Love is something you can think, but not say."


    Unknowingly Param''s eyes had become wet, and two teardrops fell on the white ground. They disappeared inside, and the white island trembled.


    Param quickly wiped his eyes. Damn, this bro got too emotional! Then his sight fell on White and he got a scare. The entire island was heavily trembling, as if it could explode at any time. He quickly scanned with his spiritual sense, and his expression became twisted. It seemed that White had perhaps become emotionally unstable, and her spiritual consciousness was in chaos.


    He couldn''t help but think: Was my singing really THIS bad?


    "Okay, okay! Don''t panic, I promise you I''ll never sing!" Param tried to assure White. The trembling weakened but didn''t stop. Instead, a huge hand made of white crystals appeared and swatted him far away.


    Param flew hundreds of meters away until he stabilized in the air.


    "White looks alright." He concluded, and decided to travel back to the island. There were a lot of ideas he wanted to try out. However, just after flying a little distance he suddenly sensed a strange active power. He immediately scanned his surroundings with his spiritual sense, and found an unfamiliar existence in the ocean water.


    Shesha was feeling unbearable pain, and could hardly figure out what was happening around her. Her spiritual consciousness had many fractures, and many corroding elements had latched onto it. If she wasn''t careful, it would be completely corrupted and she would become a mindless monster, just like those who came from Beyond. Even worse was her body, which was ridden with injuries made by those from the Beyond. The attacks of the creatures were extremely lethal and highly invasive. She had lost a majority of her physical strength, and could hardly move.


    At that moment she heard a familiar voice.


    "If my lover''s life was never short,


    Does the world need any legendary stories?..."


    "This voice¡­.!" She couldn''t help but exclaim in joy. How much she yearned to hear this voice! Using her innate ability, her body slowly floated upwards, rising from the bottom of the ocean.


    Before she reached halfway, her eyes saw a familiar silhouette. She smiled as strength left her body and she fainted.


    A few days later¡­


    Param had a troubled expression. A few days ago he''d caught a ''big fish'', except that the fish look like an extremely beautiful girl who was terribly beaten up. When he found her, he nearly got a heart-attack. There was no body part which wasn''t wounded, and even her spiritual consciousness seemed to have some major damages. Of course, he didn''t dare to casually heal her. Her wounds were sealed by some high level archaic characters, characters which dealt with the phenomenon of time! How could a newbie like Param compare with a pro like her?


    The only thing worth rejoicing was that this sister was extremely pretty, with long black hair floating in the void, and almost transparent robes, highlighting her curves, as if taunting him to guess what her skin actually looked like. Even though she was highly wounded, she still carried a transcendental charm, and weak creatures like mortals would find themselves impossible to resist.


    Currently the girl was resting in a large stone house which was temporarily constructed by Param, who was meditating beside her. The girl slept on a stone bed, with two earth golems near it. The earth golems looked like Greek statues and were quite beautiful, if not for the archaic characters and formation lines all over their bodies. Especially eye-catching were the numbers ''1'' and ''2'' over their left cheek.


    One in a while the girl would moan in pain, and Param would feel distracted and aroused.


    This girl is a walking disaster! He could not help but think this. He closed his eyes and tried to resume his meditation when suddenly he received a message from the earth golems, informing him that the lady had woken up.


    The girl seemed to have used some technique, and her injuries seemed to have healed or suppressed. Even parts of her spiritual consciousness had been sealed.


    "How do you feel?" he asked. The girl didn''t reply him immediately but kept staring at him, making him feel a little embarrassed. Although he''d bragged a lot to White, in reality he hardly had any experience with females except for his mother, cousin sisters and classmates. In his life he''d always inwardly felt that he lacked charm. So when a peerless beautiful woman whom he''d secretly call a ''milf'' stared at him he couldn''t help but become nervous.


    "I feel better. Thank you." The girl replied while propping up her body and leaning on her back. Although there was a weakness in her voice, it still was attractive to the ears, the proof being the small chiming noises made by the wind when she spoke.


    Param sat near the bed and nodded at her. "Don''t hesitate to tell me if you want something. You can stay on my island for as long as you want."


    He didn''t feel any embarrassment declaring the island as his private property.


    "Thank you for your help. I, Shesha, won''t bother you much as I only need to rest for a while."


    The girl who introduced herself as Shesha replied, and Param thought he heard some sarcasm in her voice. He found her staring at the golems and swiftly spoke as he waved his sleeves expertly.


    "These are the two golems I made to take care of you: Earth Golem Experimental Version No. 1 and Earth Golem Experimental Version No. 2!"


    The girl sighed as she said, "Let''s call them G1 and G2."


    How could Param allow someone to casually change the names of his creation?


    He cleared his throat and spoke.


    "I think the name Earth Golem Experimental Version No.1 is quite-"


    Before he could finish his words a hand grabbed his own and pressed down forcefully, and a sweet voice came.


    "Let''s call them G1 and G2."


    He turned his head and saw a sweet smile. However, he couldn''t help but shiver for some reason. Somehow he felt that there would be a bad ending if he didn''t agree to this girl''s request. So although he wanted to disagree, when he opened his mouth the words that came out were "Yes ma''am!"


    Few days later¡­


    At the shore of the newly created ''Eternal River'' were two figures. One was a peerless beautiful woman, who was resting on a stone sofa. Even her lazily slouching figure was extremely seducing. Beside her were two earth golems G1 and G2 holding two fans made of energy, obediently fanning her. She seemed to be resting, but if powerful creatures saw her they would immediately realize that she was absorbing energies lying outside the three dimensions.


    Beside her, Param sat on the ground in lotus position meditating with a serious expression. Anybody would exclaim: What a hard-working man! However, he was actually cursing Shesha inside.


    These few days were not easy for him. Although Shesha looked weak and feeble, she was still stronger than him and kept demanding various things. If he could not fulfill her wishes, he would be bombarded with taunts over and over. Also, he would even have to give tests on archaic characters, and they were even multiple choice questions! The worst part was that there was negative marking, and he would even get a credit score!


    Life was so pitiful!

 5 BIRTH OF GARUDA AND THE YAKSHA

    While he was cursing the peerlessly beautiful woman in his mind, unknown to him, the crystal on his forehead gave off a dim light. Strands of energy flew out and created a mesh, eventually taking the form of an eagle chick. The eagle chick slowly assumed physical form and cried.


    "Kee~Kee~"


    What the hell is this noise? Param opened his eyes, only to find a little guy pecking his knee and crying.


    "What the¡­Where did this little guy pop out from?" He exclaimed. He turned his head and found Shesha looking at him amusingly. Apparently, she didn''t find this scene strange. Beside her, the earth golems diligently fanned her. It looked like even if a dinosaur appeared, they would still continue doing their work.


    "Do you know what happened?" He could only ask her. Beside him, the little chick kept on jumping at scratching the ground.


    "It seems to be a manifestation of your thoughts. When you have strong thoughts and intents, there is a possibility of them manifesting through your third eye." Shesha lazily replied while stretching her body.


    Param could see things from a much larger perspective than a mortal. The movement of her eyelashes, the light swaying of her hair, and even the slight wriggling of her abundant bosom were all captured by his eyes. This picture of her made his blood boil.


    He quickly controlled his lustful thoughts, lest he do something and gets beaten up. Shesha leisurely walked next to him and squatted, admiring the little guy. The little guy seemed to know her strength as he shrunk his neck and started crying.


    "You need to learn to control your third eye using your spiritual consciousness." She taught him. "Anyway, what were you thinking about?"


    Param felt his mouth run dry. He didn''t dare to imagine what would happen to him if she knew that she was being cursed. He maintained a stiff smile and said.


    "I was just thinking about how you are so kind and considerate to teach me so many things."


    Hearing this Shesha covered her mouth with the back of her palm and laughed.


    "Hahaha¡­You care so much about me. So much that you even manifested a creature filled with such intense fighting spirit¡­.Hahaha¡­"


    Param shivered as he heard her laughter. She looked exactly like a female antagonist from a third grade drama. His head moved like a robot towards her and laughed along.


    "Haha¡­Hahaha¡­"


    It was just an unlucky day!


    A few days later, on a fresh morning¡­


    Shesha seemed to have recuperated to a large extent, and she (unfortunately) became more active in teaching him. Right now Param was being taught the fundamentals of creating a spiritual consciousness.


    "¡­Creating a low level spiritual consciousness is not that difficult. But I advise you to only create it by combining your innate talent. After all, right now you don''t have mastery over it. Consider Garuda as an example. As he was formed from your thoughts, your Supreme Self automatically created a spiritual consciousness for it."


    "Supreme Self?" Param asked.


    "You don''t know about your Supreme Self? But you were the one who¡­.Forget it! The Supreme Self is the origin of your existence, the source of all power. Why don''t you try to feel it? It''s hidden at the center of your spiritual consciousness¡­"


    She told him the method to sense his Supreme Self. He immediately retreated into his spiritual consciousness, trying to sense something at its center. Moments later he sensed something lying dormant. An archaic character hummed and became active- ''Truth''. His vision changed, and he could finally see his Supreme Self, which could only be described with one word-


    Supreme!


    His Supreme Self was boundless, with no ends and limits. One would easily lose themselves within it. The Supreme Self was mysterious and compared to it, the archaic characters seemed like child''s work. After sensing his Supreme Self he couldn''t help but curse.


    F*ck! It looks like I''m light-years away from humanity! What exactly have I become!


    At the same moment, the Authority Pillar at the center of the island suddenly disappeared, hiding outside the three dimensions. Only the word ''Authority'' could be seen floating in the air.


    Param retreated from his spiritual consciousness and found Shesha squeezing the muscles on his chest. His eyebrows twitched as he saw that.


    "What are you doing?"


    Shesha continued caressing his muscles as she replied.


    "You look good with these muscles¡­.Exactly my type."


    Param''s face twisted. Sister, can you please not joke! Who would dare to be in a relationship with you!


    Shesha smirked after seeing his expression. "Forget it. Let''s see the condition of the egg you talked about."


    "Kee~Kee~"


    The eagle chick Garuda landed over her shoulder and made a noise in agreement. The two plus one combo went to the place where the egg containing the spirit of the island was buried. Param put his hand down, scanning with his spiritual sense. The egg was stable and would soon hatch. He could sense the abundant energy of the creature inside the egg.


    He sensed another powerful spiritual sense piercing deep inside, which belonged to the woman beside him.


    Communication using spiritual sense was easy, and it was also possible to encrypt it. However, Shesha didn''t bother to do so and he could easily understand what message she was sending to the egg.


    "¡­.Look at you! Weren''t you always proud of being senior than me? Always called me number four and yourself number two? What happened now? You aren''t even born yet and can only watch me enjoy. What did you say? I can''t hear you! You have to use your mouth for that!...."


    He secretly glanced at her from the corner of his eyes and saw her happy and smug expression. His heart thumped louder and he turned stiff for a moment, and at the same time she co-incidentally gazed at him at captured his expressions.


    A few moments passed¡­.


    "Come with me!"


    Shesha dragged him inside her home and G1 and G2 welcomed them. She wasted no time and quickly stripped both of them and the clothes made of energy disappeared from over their bodies. Although Param felt a little dissatisfied, on seeing her milky soft skin and cotton-like soft black glossy hair, he could think of any complaints.


    The woman wildly pounced on him and they began to make love. Param went on autopilot and followed his instincts, leaving no part of her body untouched. Time passed and Param once again realized that he was no longer mortal, or else how could he go on for hours?


    Surprisingly, G1 and G2 kept on fanning their ''madam'' all this time diligently and showed no reaction even when she moaned and writhed in ecstasy.


    Param could not stop himself as compared to mortal, the pleasure levels this time were extremely high, and he dared to say that even the best drugs could not make anyone feel this good. The pleasure was not just physical, but also spiritual and other incomprehensible levels.


    Soon he reached climax, and released himself. The both trembled in pleasure, savoring the after-taste of their union. Param took a while to stabilize his spiritual consciousness, and tried to get up. A slender hand immediately grabbed his wrist and stopped him.


    "Wait! Let''s do this one more time!"


    Param had a shocked expression. This sister was way too scary!


    Seven days later¡­


    Param was meditation at the place which was once a stone house. His face looked a little pace and his body had become a little thin. Beside him, Shesha leaned lazily on one side staring at him with half closed eyes. Casually looking around the demolished walls she spoke.


    "It was such a nice house. What a pity."


    Param''s face twitched when he heard that. How could he not understand what she meant? What she actually said was : Hurry up and fix this place so I can laze around!


    If not for the fact that she was a woman¡­


    If not for the fact that she was previously injured fatally¡­


    If not for the fact that she looked weak and feeble¡­


    And if not for the fact that he could absolute not win against her¡­


    He would''ve definitely kicked her out of the island a long time ago!


    He decided to stay three meters away from this pretty sister at all times. Thinking about these seven days he couldn''t help but feel both aroused and afraid. He cursed inside. She is not a goddess, she is a succubus!


    Another two days passed. The eagle chick Garuda had learned to fly, and would often try to seek death by flying near the sun. Luckily, Param had blessed him archaic characters he wouldn''t die easily.


    There were also many changes in G1 and G2 as they were affected by the energies released during the union. Their appearances became more pronounced, and they surprisingly developed high level spiritual consciousness. They could no longer be considered ordinary earth golems, and had to be given some proper species.


    "In that case, you shall be the first Yaksha!" Param clapped and said. Following his clap, the world obeyed his will, and formations appeared on the bodies of the two. G1''s body turned slender and developed a bust and curvy hip, while G2 had his upper body grown and his face developed clearly defined edges. At this moment, he couldn''t help but feel sad for giving them lame names.


    At this moment he heard Shesha calling him. He grumpily went to the newly constructed house. Entering the house he turned cautious, and willed his clothes into something thick which couldn''t be easily taken off. Feeling that this wasn''t enough, he willed again and turned them into monk robes. His short black hair disappeared, leaving him bald. In addition to this, six burn scar marks appeared on this forehead.


    Satisfied with his appearance, he walked into the inner room. Shesha looked at him and exclaimed in surprise.


    "What is this?!"


    Param made a gesture with one hand and spoke with a calm expression. "Amitabha. This monk has freed himself from mortal desires."


    She furrowed her brows and scolded him. "Stop the nonsense, I''m leaving."


    Param froze for a moment, and blurted out. "So soon?"


    Shesha smiled and asked him. "Have you thought a name for the egg?"


    He shook his head. "I don''t even know what sort of creature will be born. How can I name it?"


    Shesha smiled mysteriously. "You should call her Gaia."


    Before he could ask anything further, her body swiftly disappeared outside the three dimensions, leaving him.

 6 BACK TO THE FUTURE

    Shesha traveled along a long tunnel, which seemed to be made of law outside the three dimensions. The tunnel had mysterious powers, and one could vaguely see many scenes linked to the walls of the tunnel.


    In one of the scenes, Param had become crazy due to loneliness and kept banging his fists on the ground like a gorilla. Sometimes he could suddenly stop and start laughing stupidly while staring into nothingness. In another scene, Param was scolding some grown up young men in a crystal palace. The young men looked extreme handsome and seemed to hold high authority, but they stood still with their heads down like little kids who were being punished for their mistakes. There was another scene where Param was being beaten up by five fairy-like women while being watched by two chubby kids. The women were extremely powerful, and each of their moves were followed by supernatural phenomenon and innocent laughs of those kids.


    Shesha seemed to have reached her destination as she slowed down and entered a scene. A tear in the three dimensions appeared and she appeared in the world.


    In this world, the empty island had changed into a magnificent palace, with one character above its gate. The word was special, as its actual form was an archaic character- ''Eternal''. The single character brought forth tremendous pressure, and was a test for the visitors.


    Above the palace the red sun had grown large and frequently gave off powerful fluctuations, and the white layered rainbow expanded and shrunk, giving off a suppressing feeling. However at this time, the red sun had a small part shattered and the rainbow moon had hideous fractures over its body. Even the part of Eternal River that was in the sky and formed a circle seemed to have problems, as it was flowing in an elliptical path instead of a circular one.


    Shesha quickly walked through the large door inside and arrived at a large room. The room was as large as multiple courtyards and there were three women inside. As soon as she arrived they stood up and a fairy-like woman with blue-white hair asked.


    "Have you succeeded?"


    Shesha nodded her head. "I can sense it; I will give birth to two children, a girl and a boy, with the innate ability of fate and karma."


    Another woman who was a brunette sighed. "These kids will play a big role in saving their father. We just have to wait for them to grow up"


    Shesha asked another woman, who had dirt blonde hair. "How is he now?"


    On realizing her question, the woman with dirt blonde hair became emotional and replied in a low voice.


    "It''s not good. His wounds are slowly worsening, and even the seals on his wounds which can freeze time cannot stop it. The residual energy of those Previous Era Authority Wielder is highly corrosive."


    As they spoke they walked further inside where a person was floating inside. Dozens of powerful archaic characters floated around him, which continuously healed and suppressed him at the same time. A large wound could be seen on his chest, almost splitting his body in half. His face seemed to be in pain as some mysterious lightning traveled around his body once in a while. The wound itself was not serious; rather the residual energy was worth more paying attention as it continuously corroded the spiritual energy flowing in his body. The foreign energy was highly invasive and had even corrupted a part of his spiritual consciousness. However, the most frightening thing was that as time passed, this person''s fate and karma was also being manipulated.


    Although this person was wounded, his face still retained his aura of authority. He looked extremely domineering and gentle at the same time, as if the entire world revolved around him. Suddenly his face contorted in pain, and the archaic characters in the air trembled fiercely. The space around the powerful wounded person began to cave in. At this moment the woman with dirt blonde hair made a hand seal and shouted. Her hair and clothes flew in the void as archaic characters shot out from her palms, slapping themselves into the space, stabilizing it for the moment.


    "This is the fifth time it has happened. Now even White and Gaia are worried." The woman with dirt blonde hair said sorrowfully.


    Shesha looked silently at the wounded person floating in the air. In her eyes, his mature face slowly changed, becoming younger and younger, slowly becoming similar to Param.


    At this moment she again remembered the song.


    "If my lover''s life was never short,


    Does the world need any legendary stories?..."


    Present time¡­


    Param was staring at the egg which seemed to have dug itself from the ground. Recently it had become highly active, and it looked like the creature inside would leap out anytime. A small dot appeared in the air, growing larger. It took the shape of an eagle and landed near Param. The eagle, Garuda had grown even larger, and now it could no longer rest on his shoulder. Garuda preened his feathers for a while. Eventually he got bored and started pecking him continuously on his shoulder.


    "Father, when will you finish creating the plant life?" he asked Param. After growing up surprisingly he could fluently talk in an archaic language.


    Param patted him furiously, messing up his feathers on his head.


    "It must be near its completion." The two floated over some distance until they arrived near a garden. The garden had a large complex formation, formed by thousands of archaic characters. Param had spent a lot of effort to fish many powerful archaic characters from the Authority Pillar.


    At the center of the formation was a Tulsi tree. It looked lush green and shone with faint light. Even at a distance, separated by many powerful formation barriers Garuda could sense the healing properties in its body.


    "It was not easy to create its spiritual consciousness. The only thing left to do is to create a soul for this child."


    Garuda did not understand the technical terms his Father said, except the fact that he would get a companion. But he was smart and kept occasionally nodding his head to please his Father.

 7 TODAY WELL HAVE EGGS!

    Creating a soul was a major technical problem that was haunting Param. Without a soul, a creature was just a mindless body. At most, the creature would be a high level robot, which wasn''t the result that he wanted.


    He shook his head; he had endless time to solve this problem. He jumped lightly and his body floated in the sky. Traveling at a supersonic speed he soon reached a crystal white island formed by White. He landed on the firm ground and was surprised when he looked around. The crystal white island had increased in size, growing almost four times the size of the island. Param could not help but seek death, and opened his mouth.


    "White, you seemed to have gotten ¡­.fat!"


    Immediately a crystal white hand appeared, ready to swat him away. He sweated profusely and quickly knelt down.


    "I''m sorry, Great White! You heard wrong. I said you''ve become even more strong and graceful¡­"


    The crystal white hand froze in the air, accepting his apology. However this only lasted a moment as Param spoke further.


    "¡­ In fact, you can only be described in one line: Graceful in Guest Hall, Great in kitchen, and Glamorous in Bedroom!"


    After a moment of silence¡­


    "Aiyo~ I was wrong~ I was wrong~ Agghh! White, I won''t talk to you if you continue hitting me! Ouch!"


    Half an hour later, Param sat on the ground, moaning occasionally. After some time he wailed.


    "White, you''re so heartless!"


    A message arrived at his spiritual consciousness at this moment: "Humph!" It was from White, and he could feel the smugness from the single word.


    He''d already used his spiritual sense to check the condition of the two newly forming spiritual consciousness'' inside White''s body. According to his calculations, White had almost finished creating her physical body. He relaxed on the ground while watching the Eternal River which formed a circle in the sky.


    Suddenly Param supported his body on his arms and sat up.


    "I''ve encountered a serious problem. Although I am able to create a physical body and a spiritual consciousness, I am not able to create a soul for it. The soul needs to be eternal and indestructible, and should also be bound by the laws outside the three dimensions. Do you have a solution for it?"


    When Param asked this he didn''t actually expect an answer. After all, he considered White as a friend whom he could nag endlessly with to relieve his frustration. So when White answered, it was out of his expectations.


    "Supreme Self."


    Param was blank for a while, and moments later suddenly slapped his thigh.


    "Good idea! If I don''t have the talent to create some stuff, I can always steal the idea!"


    He paced around for a while, thinking of various ideas. His Supreme Self was a ridiculously powerful, and comparing it to a mortal soul was like comparing a super powerful quantum computer to an abacus. As such, he would have to economize it before creating a new soul. He said good bye to White and flew back to the island to test his hypothesis.


    A few days passed, and Param once again was sitting on the ground depressingly. Apparently, it was not an easy task to replicate the Supreme Soul. Suddenly, a terrifying shockwave appeared in the sky. It enveloped the sky, raising its temperature by thousands of degrees. Param looked above and saw three protrusions appearing on the red sun. The protrusions grew larger and larger, and eventually fell from the surface of the sun, colliding on the ground.


    He quickly flew over and saw three red colored eggs with different white characters in white on them. The first egg was yellow-red, with the character ''Fierce'' over it with domineering strokes. The second egg was bright red in color having the character ''Rebirth'' with a flexible style. The last egg was red purple, with a white colored character ''Melody'' written in soft strokes.


    Param scratched his head. Was he supposed to make an omelet? Perhaps the white layered rainbow didn''t want to be left behind as it''s rings rapidly shrunk and contracted heavily, as if having labor pains and quickly spat out three eggs. The eggs landed on the other side of the island, opposite to the crash site of the red colored eggs.


    Param had no choice but to check his delivery on the other side of the island. When he arrived, he saw three blue white eggs with similar characters lying around.


    The first egg had a large character ''Rule'' written in purple, and Param couldn''t help but ''tsk'' when he saw this. Not even born and yet so arrogant! He moved on to the second egg, which showed a blue colored character ''Protect''. The third egg was the least eye-catching, with a small red colored character ''Profound'' on it.


    He had no idea what to do with these eggs, so he decided to create a temporary nest. However, after he checked them with his divine sense, he realized that these eggs had inherent properties. The red eggs could mature faster in fire while the blue-white eggs needed the presence of water. Realizing this, he immediately created three separate nests filled with formations for each of the red eggs. These nests didn''t look different from any other place on the island, but it was filled with fire type energy.


    The blue-white eggs were not placed on the island. Instead, he created their nests near White''s body. He crystallized the water near the white island, forming nests made of crystals which contained traces of small white dots. These crystals containing white dots were natural formations which were created by White and him.


    After analyzing these eggs with his spiritual sense Param had a brainstorm of ideas, and he created many blueprints in the air with his spiritual power when he returned on the island. As time passed, the number of blueprints grew and he had to create a vast courtyard to store them, as he feared that Garuda would damage them when he got bored.


    Some days later, as he was recording something on a blueprint his hand suddenly stopped. Gaia was about to take form!

 8 GAIA AND THE BIRTH OF SURA

    Param realized that Gaia was about to come out of its egg, and immediately dashed towards it. The egg didn''t seem much different than usual, but the terrifying aura it had started releasing was a sure sign of its final transformation. The aura was too powerful, and Param could even see fractures in the space surrounding the egg, and one could vaguely hear a dragon''s roar. Param patted Garuda''s head, urging him to quickly fly away.


    Garuda didn''t dare to loiter, and flew away as far as he could. Although he didn''t like to fly over the ocean, it was still better than seeking death. The egg increased the intensity of aura, which made Param exclaim.


    F*ck, won''t it explode if this keeps on!


    He quickly fired two archaic characters. The first reinforced the space surrounding the egg, making it stable. While the other created layers of barriers, so that even if an explosion takes place, it won''t affect its surroundings much. He was afraid of the egg exploding like a nuclear bomb and harming his private property, which was the island.


    The aura of the egg kept on spiking, until it suddenly reached a threshold and exploded. The barriers fractured and shattered, and Param who was near them was flown away from the shock-wave.


    "Aiyo~"


    The island now had a crater at its center, and a figure was lying inside. It slowly stood up and captured the world with its eyes. The creature seemed to be intelligent, unlike a newborn, as seemed as if it already knew the mysterious of the world. Its vision fell on Param who was kissing the ground in dizziness. Perhaps it found this amusing; it squatted down near him and poked his cheek.


    Param was currently suffering from a strong bout of dizziness. When the egg exploded, it surprisingly sent out a wave of profound energy. Param wasn''t familiar with it, and allowed it to attack his spiritual consciousness. His spiritual consciousness received a nice shock, and for a few minutes he couldn''t tell the difference between the ground and the sky.


    Suddenly he felt something poking his cheek. Opening his eyes, he saw an extremely beautiful woman staring at him curiously. The woman was extremely beautiful; this needed to be repeated twice because her beauty was incapable of being described in words. Her skin was milky soft and shone with luster, and he was reminded of those Korean actresses. Above her head was brown colored hair, which stopped just a little below her shoulders. They looked as soft as cotton, and one couldn''t help but raise their hand and caress them. Her figure was curvaceous, and every man would feel her to be the most fertile woman. But the most attractive were her brown eyes, which showed her intelligence and the curiosity of a newborn at the same time.


    Param froze when he saw her. He felt an instinctive reaction, an attraction like no other. He felt the same attraction from Shesha; perhaps it was an attraction between similar creatures. He raised his hand and unconsciously caressed her face, and immediately regretted when he realized his actions. However the woman didn''t seem to mind and only smiled.


    Today, Gaia was born.


    Gaia was extremely intelligent, and unlike mortal newborns knew various things at the time of her birth. Along with her explosive nature and high curiosity it wasn''t long before Param started having a headache.


    Being a newborn, Gaia was an excellent troublemaker. Her strength was high and there was almost nothing which could kill her, but that did not mean that others were the same. Just a few days ago, Param had to spend a lot of effort in stopping the troublemaker from making an omelet out of the red eggs.


    Many days later¡­


    Param was arranging bricks and building a wall. The bricks were refined using Pure Fire, and were engraved with formations formed of multiple archaic characters. Time passed hour by hour, and a small mansion began to form. A little distance away Gaia was slouching on a stone sofa and watching him with half closed eyes. Beside her G1 and G2 were fanning their new mistress.


    Param was tired, and he suddenly felt sorrowful. Wasn''t this scene somewhat familiar? He finally finished making the mansion and moved some furniture inside. At this moment Gaia came slyly and snuggled his arm, laughing ''Hehe~''. But how could he not know what she was thinking?


    This girl is really smart, always thinking ways to slack off! Param snorted. Of course, he had no problems with an extremely beautiful fairy like woman hugging his hand. The atmosphere was set, with archaic characters creating an illusion of night. Some archaic characters floated in the air and released dim light, acting like candles. This was his reward for working hard!


    The clothes made of energy disappeared, and mental energies from their spiritual consciousness'' caressed and enveloped each other. Union of spiritual consciousness''s was highly addictive, as the pleasure came continuously in waves. The couple quickly brought each other to the height of pleasure, and climaxed. The energies released from the union condensed, a majority of them was absorbed by G1 and G2, while the remaining part started to take humanoid forms.


    The union was not a short time affair, and once started could easily last for days. So when Param woke up after a nap from the terrific session, he was stunned to find seven pairs of humanoid creatures kneeling in front of their bed. The humanoid creatures did not seem to see his surprised expression as they quickly greeted him enthusiastically.


    "We greet you, Father!"


    Param felt a headache coming. He gestured them to follow him to another room, which was as large as a courtyard. The humanoid creatures walked uniformly, and seemed much disciplined, even if they were born not a long time ago. Param activated an archaic character- ''Truth'', and over his pupils the character took shape. His vision changed, allowing him to see the inherent properties of these creatures.


    The creatures seemed to possess both spiritual and profound energies, and were perhaps the first beings that could cultivate. Param felt another headache. Will this happen every time, with kids popping out left and right? But he had to maintain his image, so he stood straight, with his head held high and spine straightened hands behind his back.


    "Receive my Mandate, henceforth you shall be known as Sura!"


    The world obeyed to his will, and the first creatures known as ''Sura'' were born.

 9 WHITE HAS ARRIVED, AND SHE HAS A SURPRISE!

    A few days later¡­


    Under a majestic river which flowed in the heavens in a circle, one could see some humanoid creatures working unceasingly. One of them dug a foundation into the ground, and another quickly threw low-leveled formations into the ground, making it strong. Another guy was squatting a little distance away, near a large kiln. The kiln was another large formation, with an archaic character- ''Refine'' floating over it. The person near the kiln wore strange things- clothes made of energy, woven in a formation. His innate body was extremely strong, yet he still sweated because of his proximity to the super-hot kiln.


    These creatures were the new species Sura, which were born during the union of Param and Gaia. Speaking of Gaia, right now she was slouching on a stone sofa, getting a massage from the newborn Sura girls. Those girls did not seem to know the word ''tired'', and the enthusiastically massaged her, leaving no muscle behind.


    "How is it, Mother?"


    "Should I rub your shoulder again?"


    "Mother, your face is really glossy!"


    Param was supervising the construction of their temporary mansion, and his face occasionally twitched as he heard these comments. He did not need to turn around to imagine what the scene was behind him. Simply put, the mother was very lazy!


    The foundation was built, and three slender Sura females came forward with a white needle in their hands. The needle was made by Param using the white crystals of White''s main body, and was inscribed with numerous tiny formations. Right now the world didn''t have many materials, and they could only make do with simple things. The Sura females used the white needle and tried to stitch the foundation and the entire wall into one complete entity.


    Param looked at the hard working Sura kids, and then glanced at the lazy glamorous beauty behind him. Doesn''t this scene look a little familiar?


    Suddenly a strong energy wave came from the ocean, colliding with the island. However, as it entered the island, the profound energy in Gaia''s body reacted against the foreign energy, disallowing it to invade. The Sura became bewildered as they collapsed and kneeled when they sensed the energy. In response, Gaia immediately stretched her hand, shooting out a dense point of profound energy. It floated in the air till it reached a high point, and covered the entire island with a barrier. Param''s body froze when he sensed the origin of the energy. Although Gaia was unfamiliar with it, how could he, who''d spent a lot of time with its owner, not know?


    "I''ll go and take a look." He told Gaia as he flow into the ocean and arrived at the white island. His speed reached supersonic levels and he reached the white island in a short while.


    He landed on the island and noted that not much had changed, except for the fact that the white island had grown even more large, and even with his spiritual sense he needed a few seconds to scan the entire island. Furthermore, the ocean water at the borders of the island had somehow refined and crystallized, making the large island even more humongous.


    He slowly looked around the island as he traveled towards its center. He noticed that as he walked closer to the island, the crystals he encountered turned more refined and hard, and were holding a large amount of a familiar energy. This familiar energy seemed to have the characteristics of both spiritual and profound energy. It was flexible like spiritual energy, while at the same time being highly active like profound energy.


    It did not take a lot of time to arrive at the center of the white island, and he soon saw the person he was expecting.


    At the center was a circular elevated floor, over which a female form sat while gazing at the Eternal River in the sky. Her clothes made of energy were similarly white, and perhaps because there wasn''t much reference, they were loose like a robe and clung to her body, highlighting her natural beauty. When Param gazed he saw an otherworldly beauty, whose blue-white hair slightly flew in the air.


    Sh*t, another beauty! Param cursed as he became extremely aroused. It was an instinctive reaction, similar to sleeping or feeling hungry. However, after some previous sessions he''d learned to control himself, and quickly suppressed his urges. He again felt the familiar aura from the woman, and he slowly approached, sitting near her.


    The two of them did not speak, and neither of them looked at each other, only enjoying each other''s presence. Param smelled a delicate and mild fragrance from the person next to him, and remembered the days when he almost went crazy from loneliness, and he remembered the joy when he finally found someone to talk to.


    Remembering this he smiled and turned his head. Coincidentally the woman turned her head towards him at the same time and smiled while looking with her blue-white eyes. It was a moment of celebration.


    "Congratulations, White!"


    ***


    On the island¡­


    For some reason Gaia suddenly felt nervous, as if something precious was slipping away. She felt as if her days of joy were coming to an end, and she would no longer be able to laze around like before.


    "Strange¡­" she murmured.


    "Is something the matter, Mother?" a Sura woman who was massaging her leg asked.


    "It''s nothing." Gaia casually shook her hand and said, entering into a half sleep mode. When she saw the Sura kids, she immediately remembered a certain someone who''d fallen for her charms.


    The Sura women who were massaging secretly looked at her and felt a twinge in their hearts.


    Our Mother is so tired after thinking for us!


    Thus, their hands moved more tenderly, and their eyes burst out in determination.


    ***


    Turning back to the white crystal island¡­


    Param and White casually walked around the white island while enjoying the scenery on the way. Of course, it was another matter that there wasn''t much to see on the crystal white island.


    Soon they walked near the formations meant for the eggs. When Param watched the eggs he suddenly remembered the second consciousness he''d sensed inside White. He held her wrists and told her to stand still.


    White did not resist and only looked at him with amusement. Param''s powerful spiritual sense traveled through her, grasped various details about her. His spiritual sense was extremely powerful, and he could even gain clues about laws outside the three dimensions. Finally he sensed the secondary consciousness. The entity had an extremely strong vitality, and at a first glance looked like a parasite. However, the mysterious part was that this parasite somehow had a similar aura to him. He concentrated further as he furrowed his brows.


    Suddenly his expression froze, and his head slowly moved towards her as he started sweating. Looking at her, his expression twisted as he exclaimed.


    "You''re pregnant?!"

 10 TROUBLE-MAKERS 1

    Param was left with his head scratching. The aura of the child was very similar to his, and even his spiritual consciousness resonated with the unborn child, so he was sure that the child was his. But the thing that baffled him was¡­


    When the @#$%#$ did he sleep with White?!


    "Impossible!" he couldn''t help but blurt out. With its spiritual consciousness developed, the unborn child could understand its surroundings, and immediately sent his intent through his spiritual consciousness, telling him that it was sad. Param was shocked and quickly consoled it, soothing it using his own spiritual consciousness.


    White laughed as she watched their interaction. Param glanced at her and sighed secretly. Until now he''d known three women who were similar to him, and all of them were extremely craft and loved to watch him act like a fool.


    For beings like Param, their sense of time was much different than that of mortals. Although he''d told Gaia that he''d be back in a while, he still stayed for many weeks. Unlike Gaia whose spiritual consciousness only existed in the underground profound veins, White''s spiritual consciousness, although scattered, was in contact with the outside world. That was why she had much more innate knowledge that Gaia, enabling Param to know more about his innate abilities.


    According to White, it was impossible to create an artificial soul, and even she didn''t know the reason behind it. She suggested that he use the fragments of his Supreme Self to create souls, which he thought was a feasible idea.


    At this moment they sensed three new auras coming to life. The couple looked at each other and immediately flew over to the three formations incubating the eggs. The formations were intelligent and had shut down after sensing the changes in the egg.


    There was a blue-white egg in each of these three formations, and they were breaking out at the same time.


    The first one to break was the one with the ''Rule'' character. A claw appeared from the crack, and a domineering cry came out, acting as if it owned the world some money. The little guy was very unruly, and furiously punched and kicked the walls of the egg, as if it was a mortal enemy. Finally the baby flew out, with the body of a snake, deer-like horns on its head, and four talons like an eagle. Furthermore its tail was like that of crocodile, indicating that this was a sea creature.


    Param poked the little guy, and it immediately retaliated by biting its finger, unwilling to back down. Param saw a blue-white character ''Rule'' imprinted over its forehead like a birthmark. Param activated an archaic character- ''Truth'', and immediately understood all details about this newborn creature. This child was an Azure Dragon!


    The second egg to break was the one with the character ''Protect''. The little guy seemed extremely lazy, and didn''t seem to be in a hurry to get out. The two waited for a while, but the little guy seemed to have lost motivation and had stopped its efforts. At this moment the third egg started to break, and only then it resumed its efforts. After all, being the youngest would be the worst!


    The egg finally cracked into two, and a baby turtle with a blue-white character ''Protect'' on its shell crawled out. The body of the turtle was blue-white, and the crystal like black shell around its body made it look like a piece of art. The turtle was similar to its older brother as it had a lion-like ferocious head, tail similar to a crocodile, and talons like an eagle or a hawk. The most eye-catching thing was his shoulders, which were similar to vents of a fighter jets.


    When the little guy came out, he first looked at his unborn younger brother and smirked. He was happy that the third guy will have to call him ''elder brother'' from now on. However his happiness only lasted for a short while as he heard a short roar. His expression turned sour, and he glanced at the Azure Dragon in disdain and snorted cutely.


    What the hell are you getting arrogant for? We are all born on the same day! Of course, it seemed to forget that even though it thought that, he''d already assumed himself to be older that their youngest sibling.


    White laughed at their antics and waved her hand. Dozens of dim white crystals floated over and fell near her. The two troublemakers were innately born strong and quickly dived into these crystals. The crystals had low and extremely pure energy, which they could digest.


    Param used his archaic character and glanced at the ''Truth'', which told him that this turtle was the Black Tortoise.


    At this moment, the couple received an intent message from their unborn child.


    ''It''s coming out!''


    They immediately turned their heads and saw the egg with the character ''Profound'' slowly crack open. A fish head floated out, and a cute yet handsome fish floated as it came out. Yes, although it was a fish, it somehow looked cute and handsome.


    The youngest sibling looked much different than its older siblings, and it didn''t have a crocodile tail, horns, or sharp talons. Except for a blue crystal on its head and its eight feelers which gave it a handsome look, it looked like a normal white colored fish. The fish didn''t seem to need to remain in water to stay alive, as it leisurely floated in the air similar to water. A small character ''Profound'' lit up and Param immediately understood. This child was the Profound Fish.


    The fish seemed to be quite intelligent, as it immediately greeted to both Param and White, acting obedient. It wasn''t like the older siblings, who immediately dived into food without any manners.


    The Azure Dragon and the Black Tortoise were having a glamorous fight. When the couple watched they ate peacefully, without any argument. But later when they thought that the couple was busy watching their youngest sibling, the dragon immediately smacked the turtle on his head.


    How dare you eat before greeting your older sister?!


    The turtle was stunned silly for a while before it regained its mind. Damn, you really think you''re the boss here?


    Therefore, the turtle immediately opened his jet vents. Blades of energy quickly traveled, hitting the little dragon. The poor dragon collapsed, hitting her head. However she quickly stood up and held a crystal like a sword. Similarly the baby turtle grabbed a crystal, treating it like a spear and the two started another round of fight.


    Param and White watched this from the corner of their eyes, and they could only think of one word-


    Troublemakers!

 11 TROUBLE-MAKERS 2

    Meanwhile on the Island¡­


    Gaia was still lazing around on her favorite stone chair, gossiping with the Sura women. This was her new hobby; as the Sura were born in pairs, they already had a partner since birth, and what they only lacked was emotional bonding. These few days were enough to create a pink atmosphere for these young and naive children.


    At this moment a burst of energy appeared, and Gaia quickly opened her half-lidded eyes. With a heavy heart she left her beloved sofa and arrived at the egg nests. She squatted near them and watched the upcoming scene in amusement.


    The three egg nests contained three eggs, and they had the characters ''Fierce'', ''Rebirth'', and ''Melody'' on them. Unlike their older siblings, these kids didn''t waste time and came out at the same time. Their eggs cracked, and three chicks came out.


    The one that came out of the egg with the ''Fierce'' character was a three legged yellow-red chick, and looked extremely arrogant. The moment it came out it chirped furiously, and tried to spew flames when it saw Gaia. The tiny flames couldn''t even break the barrier formed naturally around her, and the tiny guy grew more dissatisfied. It flapped its wings and flew awkwardly at the top of her head. When it reached her smooth silky brown hair, it furiously pecked her head, trying to drill a hole into it.


    Unfortunately, the one he''d met wasn''t the mild-mannered Param but the topmost bully named Gaia.


    Her smooth skinned hand extended upwards, and grabbed the energetic chick in her hands. The chick didn''t even have time to chirp before he was tossed from one hand into another, as Gaia performed amazing juggling with it. During this moment Gaia peeked into the ''Truth'' and gained enlightenment that this wild chick was something called a ''Golden Crow''. While juggling the chick she glanced at the other two young ones.


    The second chick that came out of the egg with the ''Rebirth'' character was a bright red colored chick. The chick seemed extremely mature, with an inborn majesty and grace, and when it came out it did not jump around randomly, rather it first inspected its surroundings. On seeing Gaia who was playing with his sibling, it immediately sweated. It wanted to run away but didn''t dare to.


    "Hello~!"


    Gaia smiled at it and greeted. However, in the little red chick''s eyes, that smile was that of a fearsome demon. Being a powerful creature from birth, it could naturally feel the endless power unconsciously transmitting from Gaia.


    Forget it! Filial piety is the most basic moral virtue!


    Thinking this, the chick chirped and immediately greeted her in a cute way.


    "Chirp~~Chirp~~"


    The yellow-red Golden Crow chick which was bouncing in Gaia''s hands pleaded its sibling to help.


    Sis, you have to help me!


    But the red chick was smart and cleanly ignored it. Who told you to annoy this mighty Mother?


    Gaia only took a glance to gain enlightenment that this little chick was a creature called ''Phoenix''.


    At this moment the last egg which had the character ''Melody'' cracked open, and an extremely beautiful purple-red chick jumped out. The little guy looked around in curiosity, and when it saw Gaia who was squatting near it, it immediately grew excited and started singing.


    "Chirp~~chirp~chiiiiirp~~chirp.."


    The little chick seemed to consider itself a singing star, and it didn''t stop singing even after twenty minutes. It was only when Gaia signaled to it did it reluctantly stop it''s singing. Gaia took only a moment to realize that this child was a ''Vermilion Bird''.


    "Chirp~chirp~"


    The yellow-red Golden Crow chick kept requesting its siblings for help, but it was quietly ignored. After a long round of juggling, the yellow-red chick was finally let off. It wobbled as it walked, and even if it had an extra leg it didn''t really help.


    The Phoenix and the Vermilion Bird chick smirked as they saw their sibling in pain, a very normal reaction of petty kids. But how could the Golden Crow silently take it down?


    The hot tempered youth flapped its wings and jumped at the two, using its claws and beak to attack. With a single flap of its feathers it could create flames which were exceedingly explosive and fierce. The phoenix couldn''t accept being suppressed as it gave a cute cry, igniting its own flames. Its flames were red in color, and although they weren''t fierce they had a similar high temperature, and would stick to the target till it was annihilated. The two flames competed with each other for dominance, with neither of them backing down. At this moment a cry which sounded like a melodious hymn was heard, and a purple-red fire entered the scene. The Vermilion Bird perhaps couldn''t bear to stay low-key and decided to join in the fun.


    While the three little chicks were fighting, Gaia had already summoned all of her ''maids'', which were the Sura women which served her and made them squat like her, surrounding the chicks in a circle.


    It was extremely troublesome to name the Sura, and a lot of debate took place between Param and Gaia, with her speaking and him listening. Finally they decided to name each girl based on the colors of the Rainbow- Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange and Red. On the other hand, each of the Sura boys would have numbers for their name- One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, and Seven. Thus, the first couple was Violet and One, the second couple was Indigo and Two and so on.


    Even though these names sounded simple, they were still better than the names suggested by Param, which were M-1, M-2, etc. for the males and F-1, F-2, etc. for the females.


    As Gaia and the Sura women watched while squatting in a circle the former enthusiastically asked while holding her chin in a pinch.


    "Who do you think will win?"


    The Sura women couldn''t help but blush in shame. Although they loved and respected their Mother, they couldn''t help but accept that she was sometimes too eccentric and made them do embarrassing things.


    The energy of the newborns seemed to have attracted Garuda as it arrived near them after a short while. When he arrived, he saw his mother and his Sura siblings squatting on the ground in a circle and watching the newborns fighting, betting on them and even giving a commentary (courtesy of Mother Gaia).


    Garuda silently closed his eyes, thinking about how his Father Param would react. Knowing his nature, he would be stunned silly for a nice few moments before shouting¡­


    "You trouble-making brats!"

 12 HOW TO CREATE A RACE 101

    A few days later, Param decided to return to the Island. But before he left, he wanted to create some golems so that they would help White build a palace. For some reason, after White obtained her physical form the laws of the world split into two, and were subconsciously influenced by the two women. Thus, although Param had no problems staying in the sea or on the island, the same wasn''t true for the two fairies.


    Intentionally creating a new life was a tricky question, as there weren''t many materials to work with in the first place. The world was still new and needed more time to mature. Thus, Param and White could only use archaic characters to fill up the deficiency.


    One part of the white island had completely transformed. Innumerable crystals carved with archaic characters were stabbed into the ground, all pointing at a space above the center of the circle. At the center of the circle were heaps of crystals, forming a large lake. The crystals which formed the formation were connected to each other by the refined water from the Eternal River, which flowed imitating an electric flow in a circuit.


    "Activate!"


    Param shouted, and a large archaic character lighted up at the center of the formation- ''Refine''. The white crystals seem to undergo a mysterious force of nature, as their essence slowly condensed and concentrated. Dust fell down, and what remained were bright white crystals with extremely pure energy.


    "This should do." White said as she waved her hand, and the refined crystals floated near her. The crystals seemed to have changed their nature, as they were no longer crystalline, rather they''d become malleable like a metal. At this moment a little creature sneakily flew over and tried to steal away a crystal. Param was annoyed and swatted his hand.


    "This is not for eating!"


    The little dragon flipped several dozen times in the air and gave out roars of displeasure. Apparently this didn''t seem to be the first time it has happened.


    White smirked and shook her head as she saw this, her straight blue-white hair gently waving with her action.


    "What a mischievous child!"


    At her level, this was indeed a small mischief.


    The duo went to a large cave made with crystals. The cave was made temporarily and housed many formations created using archaic characters. The duo created many blueprints and pondered over many questions for a long time. White had knowledge after existing for a long time, and Param had also understood a few concepts after observing the three brats on the white island.


    A long time later¡­


    Four couples were floating in objects which looked like a womb. The wombs contained a blue-white liquid, in which tiny archaic characters floated. Each of the coffins contained a humanoid body. Half of these bodies were male, with broad shoulders and stiff muscles. Their skin was white and glossy like dolls, and their eyes were blue, with hair being a mix shade of black and white.


    Similar to them, the other half of these bodies were females, with well-endowed breasts, slender waists and perky butts. Each of the women looked like a transcended fairy, out of natural order. Even when they''d closed their eyes one still couldn''t help but feel charmed.


    But the major attraction was the blue crystal on their forehead, which added extra points to their charm stat. If it were a game, they''d be sure to get at least forty percent discount from the NPCs!


    To describe them in short, this particular race was very pleasing to the eye!


    At last, it was time to see the fruits of their success. For this new race, the duo had spent a lot of effort, and Param even divided his Supreme Self to create small fragments to create new souls. Thus, after death the souls of these creatures would return to Param, again combining with his Supreme Self and attaining eternal bliss. In fact, this was just a temporary measure until he creates a reincarnation cycle.


    The two activated dozens of archaic characters, and many complex crystals filled with formations lit up as they did innumerable calculations per second. The tiny archaic characters within the liquid in the wombs seem to react as they twinkled like stars. The bodies of the creatures in the wombs shuddered continuously, and their spiritual consciousness'' seemed to awaken. Their spiritual consciousness'' seemed restless, and they weren''t able to form a resonance with their souls.


    White furrowed her brows as she said.


    "Your Supreme Self fragments are too domineering. We should''ve refined them first."


    She continuously moved her hands, carving formations made of archaic characters in the air. These formations miniaturized and duplicated, burrowing themselves deep inside the creatures. These formations acted like a filter, restricting the soul from the body. The formations contained eight sockets, which were in a dormant state. Although this looked like a small patch, in fact this paved a way for the race for cultivation!


    After the formation restrained their powerful souls, the creatures stopped quivered and began to awaken. The womb-like objects had been drained of the mysterious liquid, and they slowly opened.


    White seemed to be extremely excited, and perhaps her maternal instincts seemed to have taken her over. She walked towards the nearest creature, which was a female and helped her get up and sit while leaning on the surface of the womb-like object. The female creature had not opened her eyes yet, but she could still feel the gentle aura of the person who was helping her.


    She opened her eyes and blinked rapidly like a newborn. Her vision stabilized in a few moments and landed on White. Realizing that she was alright, White tapped on her shoulder, which made a white robe made of energy appear over her body. Then she pinched her cheek and moved to examine the other kids. Following her Param quickly scanned them individually with his spiritual sense, making sure that they were alright.


    Although they were newborn, like the Sura they were born with all kinds of knowledge. The creatures were filled with gratitude to be born and gave their first ever greetings to the couple.


    "Greetings, Mother! Greetings, Father!"

 13 THREE NEW KIDS!

    The creatures formed two lines and knelt in front of White and Param at the same time.


    Bam!


    Their knees hit the crystal floor, creating a loud noise. White looked at the pairs with motherly affection, while Param nodded in satisfaction like an old man approving his children.


    It was time to give them names. The newborn creatures looked expectantly at their parents, and Param couldn''t help but feel pressure. This naming business was really annoying; after all, a newborn mortal baby would have no qualms no matter what name you give it!


    Param opened his mouth to speak but was suddenly interrupted by White.


    "You shall not give them serial numbers as codes!"


    She glared at him and said. Param immediately closed his mouth while the newborn creatures profusely sweated.


    Looks like Father is really unreliable!


    Param had a headache as thought for a while. Finally deciding on something, he straightened his back and spoke in a deep voice.


    "Receive my Mandate!


    Henceforth, you shall be named as the Crystal Titan Race!"


    The world obeyed, and the laws outside the three dimensions changed, accommodating according to his Will.


    This was the moment when the legendary Crystal Titan Race was born!


    ***


    A few days passed, and the Crystal Titan Race began to settle down on the white island. White and Param had thought for a long while, and decided to convert the white island into a palace, which would be known as the ''White Palace''. The Crystal Titans had great strength, and were extremely suitable for these jobs.


    Soon the foundation was built, and the white island by each passing moment turned more and more into the White Palace. The Crystal Titans were happy with their lives, if not for three troublesome brats who kept making mischief every now and then. They had to watch closely, in fear of a certain dragon drawing an explosive archaic character on a wall, or a certain turtle eating the refined crystals. But the most troublesome of them was a certain fish, who loved to gossip and create conflict among others. In these few days, Param began to feel that he was slowly turning into a babysitter!


    It was time for him to go back to the Island. He met with White and his unborn child, consoling him that he would return soon. He flew in the sky, tearing the air apart with his supersonic speed. Suddenly he slowed to stop, and felt another headache.


    In front of him an immaterial wall of cloud and thunder was formed from the clash between the domains of White and Gaia. The clash produced tremendous energy, cutting the world into two parts. The chaotic energy had created another three life forms, which were still unborn and attached to the wall of cloud. The most surprising thing was other than knowing the presence of a foreign power, the two women didn''t even clearly know about each other''s existence. When Param thought this, he didn''t even know whether to laugh or cry.


    His vision fell on the three unborn life forms and sighed. Be it three, six, or nine, there was no need to fear these troublesome kids! He activated an archaic character- ''Truth'' and tried to understand the intricacies of these life forms born from the chaotic energy. The life forms were in the form of massive balls of clouds, which were stuck to the wall. Archaic characters activated one after another, enveloping the three balls of clouds. The archaic characters formed a formation over them, and gradually isolated these balls of clouds. On separating these balls of clouds slowly shrank, and the life forms took shape.


    One of three balls condensed into a giant whale. The whale was a little strange, as it had fierce eyes filled with fighting spirit, large scales of a fish, and massive feathered wings and talons of an eagle.


    Param saw its physical form and was shocked. Mommy! Wasn''t this the legendary Kun Peng? He didn''t even had to use his abilities to find this out. The little kid didn''t waste any time, and flew towards the White Palace after circling twice around him. Each of its flap crated huge winds, and the ocean water beneath it created massive ripples.


    The second ball of cloud condensed, forming an elephant. The elephant had a majestic aura, and on its both sides were huge white colored wings similar to that of a swan. The wings were extremely beautiful like a piece of art. Along with the shining ivory teeth, it looked like an overlord, commanding wind and cloud.


    Param used his ''Truth'', which informed him that this child indeed had the innate ability to command the wind and cloud, and bring forth rain! After all, it was the ''White Winged Elephant'', which summoned rain and thunder!


    "*Trumph*" the elephant trumpeted in joy after seeing him, and tugged at him playfully. Param patted it, telling it to calm down. Apparently this child wanted to follow him back to the Island.


    The last ball of cloud didn''t waste time and quickly took shape of a horse. This horse was blue colored, with large purple patches all over it. Lightning occasionally flashed all over its body whenever it made any movements. The horse opened its eyes, and on finding Param quickly nudged him with its head in joy.


    Param understood its intent to go to the White Palace. A majority of the creatures born in the world right now were highly sentient, and their characteristics and way of life were mostly fixed the moment they were born. As such, he understood why the Kun Peng and the horse chose to live near the White Palace, while the elephant wanted to follow it back to the Island.


    His eyes gazed into the ''Truth'', enlightening him that this child was a ''Cloud Thunder Horse''. He caressed it a little, and after a short while allowed it to leave.


    "Neigh!"


    The Cloud Thunder Horse neighed loudly and stomped its hooves. Lightning flashed all over its body and it galloped at an extremely swift speed, breaking the sound barrier!


    Param couldn''t help with exclaim inwardly. Damn, is there no normal being in this world? This brat was just born, and just some moments later he ran in supersonic speed. Truly, a forefather of all horses!

 14 LETS PLANT TREES!

    Param casually waved his hand, and a wide tear appeared in the cloud wall. He crossed the wall the wall easily along with the White Winged Elephant, and the two flew towards the Island. Behind them, the tear in the cloud wall slowly repaired itself, dividing the world into two once again.


    When the man(?) and beast(?) arrived closer to the Island the White Winged Elephant immediately sensed something and flew away high into the sky. A few moments'' later three birds arrived, their bodies enveloped in fire. These were the little gangsters of the Island, and they chased after the little elephant.


    He lazily flew down to land on the ground near the newly built mansion, and almost collapsed on watching the scene before him. His god-eyes almost went blind as he saw magnificent scene: a long ramp was constructed in the middle of nowhere, and the seven male Sura sat on stone chairs at the front of the ramp. On the ramp, the female Sura''s cat-walked beautifully while wearing clothes with different designs. Their clothes were formed from energy so they could easily shape it according to their wishes. The seven females were extremely efficient as they arrived and went in a loop, and there was no design repeated twice!


    The faces of the male Sura were extremely stern, and whenever the female Sura models arrived they would glance at them and write some comments in the air. These comments then floated over to the person sitting in the center-most chair, who would then choose some of them while reject others.


    At the center-most chair sat a fairy-like woman, who was examining the comments with seriousness. It was as if she was breaking through a new era and starting a new revolution!


    Veins bulged out on Param''s forehead as watched the act unfold in front of him. Finally he couldn''t endure himself as he roared.


    "You stupid kids! Finish your homework- I mean, finish your work!"


    The Sura kids immediately scattered. Param sighed; these innocent kids seem to have already been corrupted by Devil Gaia!


    Gaia laughed on seeing him. She lazily got up and stretched her back. Her lazy figure, with the loose robe highlighting her curves invited him. His mind vividly recalled very detail of the long marathon he had with her in the past and his body heated up.


    She slowly approached her while watching him struggle with himself. Smiling mischievously she circled her arms around his neck and spoke softly.


    "I have a surprise."


    She grabbed his arm and placed it around her belly. Param furrowed his brows as he didn''t understand at first. Then a few moments later he gulped, and directed his spiritual sense on her, scanning her in detail.


    A few moments later, he had a complicated expression. He had struck it rich on the first try!


    ***


    Gaia brought him to the temporary garden which he''d created. Gaia wasn''t idling when he was away. Right now, along with the Tulsi plant, there were three more plants. Their physical bodies and spiritual consciousness were completely built, and they were only lacking a soul.


    The first plant was the Tulsi plant, which Param had originally created. It was small in size, with thin trunk and small leaves. It didn''t have any flowers, and looked very average. However its leaves were very special as they had a pleasant fragrance, and contained very high healing properties. If this was a game world, each of the leaf would have a line in its description: Health +70%


    The second was a Bamboo plant, which was green in color and looked like a jade. Compared to a normal bamboo it was twice as large, and its wood was extremely strong. But the most interesting thing were the archaic characters on its body, which would keep increasing the longer it grew.


    The third was a special plant called as the Soma tree. This tree wasn''t found in any mythologies and was an original idea of Param. The tree looked like a mango tree, except that it bore spherical yellow colored fruits called as Soma fruits. These fruits had special properties, as they could increase longevity. The tree was huge, with gigantic branches like tentacles spreading into the sky. The Soma tree had special kind of leaves, which were jade-like and spherical like solar cells.


    The fourth was a Banyan tree, and it had no special characteristics, except that it was titanic! The Banyan tree was extremely large even in its initial form, and its trunks spread out in a circular fashion with its trunk in the center. These trunks then would bear roots, which would first dangle to the branch and then slowly reach the ground, eventually supporting the branch like the pillars of a bridge.


    Param chose four fragments of his Supreme Self and successfully transplanted them into these four trees. Their spiritual consciousness awakened, and the first plant life was created!


    He gave them their respective names according to the plan and ordered them to increase their numbers while expanding the size of the garden.


    At this moment Gaia told him she wanted to inspect the profound veins underground as she told him her ideas. He nodded as he looked up at the celestial bodies. He''d started to realize that this is no longer a game. There were a lot of living creatures who''d come to life indirectly from him, and now he was even going to be the father of two children.


    These thoughts made him more mature, and he realized that he needed a systematic arrangement for everything. The first problem which needed to be solved was the splitting of the Will of the World. However with his current knowledge it wasn''t possible to solve this massive problem. So he turned his head towards the source of his power¡­


    Authority!


    The Authority Pillar had long since disappeared outside the three dimensions, and only the word Authority remained floating in the sky.


    Param sat in front of it in the lotus position and connected to it with his spiritual consciousness, entering it. A massive world appeared in front of him, with blobs of circular light in different sizes.

 15 HIS WILL

    Param entered the Authority Pillar using his spiritual consciousness and saw different sizes of circular globs of light. He had roughly divided into five parts: small, medium, large, extremely large, and largest, with the largest being the only blob of light floating in the center.


    The sizes of these blobs of light were a representation of the quality and the quantity of the archaic characters contained in them. Param had dabbled in the Pillar a few times in the past, and had almost finished consuming all the small-sized archaic characters. He finished the remaining small-sized ones swiftly and eyed the medium-size blob of light which was nearest to him.


    He could feel the strength of archaic characters inside it and knew that it wouldn''t be easy. He approached it and tried to access it using his spiritual consciousness.


    *BOOM*


    His spiritual consciousness shook, as he tried to read the first archaic character.


    ''Indomitable''


    The archaic character was extremely domineering, and it was a battle of determination and belief. Param felt himself being washed away, and the scene before his eyes kept on changing.


    The scene stabilized, and he entered the scene.


    Param now was living with his two wives White and Gaia, and he even had a boy and a girl from them. When the two were born, prophesy appeared in the sky, telling him that these kids will kill their father, replacing him to become the new king of the gods. The Param in the scene felt insecure and in spite of rejection from his wives, he decided to eat these kids who''d bring him destruction. His massive self which was filled with power approached the newborns. His hands almost touched them when they suddenly stopped. He began to regain his consciousness and furrowed.


    Isn''t this script a little familiar?


    Some memories appeared in his mind, and he almost flipped the table.


    (¨s¡ã¡õ¡ã£©¨s¦à©ß©¥©ß


    Damn! Do you think I''m Cronus or Zeus?


    The scene blurred and disappeared. Colors appeared and disappeared, forming vague silhouettes, until they finally fixed on a scene.


    In this scene Param was again with White and Gaia living happily. However as time passed, he realized he was becoming weak, and slowly losing his power. Soon his strength fell, and he became even weaker than G1 and G2, to the extent that even strong winds made him stumble. The creatures showed him pity, but as time passed even they began ignoring him and acting as if he didn''t exist. Even the two women, White and Gaia stopped meeting him.


    Then one day in his rage he decided to storm into the majestic palace which Gaia ruled over. Thousands of soldiers guarded the palace, and Param with his weak body could not even reach the outer palace. He was beaten up by the palace guards until his skin turned into various colors and blood flowed.


    At that moment a woman arrived, wearing imperial robes and an ice cold expression. She watched him lying on the ground and sneered in disdain. She waved her hand, and the Sura palace guards dispersed. Param opened his eyes, and saw Gaia''s familiar face. She stood a few hands away from him, perhaps she felt beneath her to even breathe in the same air as him.


    She opened her mouth and spoke as she looked at him in disgust.


    "Do you really think I love you? You were only a sex cauldron for me, using which I can have more strength. And it wasn''t my plan. White was the one who created this dual cultivation technique, and I''m sure she has even stolen your access over the Authority Pillar."


    Param''s heart was filled with anguish, but his face was blank and he didn''t retaliate when the palace guards tied him up and threw him into the ocean. He sank down and down, and slowly felt death arrive.


    His expression changed suddenly as veins bulged out. He screamed, but bubbles of water were created as water entered his mouth. What he wanted to say was:


    Damn! Do you really think I won''t flip the table?


    (¨s¡ã¡õ¡ã£©¨s¦à©ß©¥©ß


    The scene shattered, and he again saw the archaic character in its original form. It entered his spiritual consciousness obediently as he''d mastered it. The other archaic characters in the medium-sized blob of light sensed danger, and the one closest to him attacked.


    Param fought with these characters one after another, and only a few characters remained in the blob of light. He rested for a while, then again began his fight. Occasionally he''d switch from one medium-sized blob to another, trying to find the appropriate archaic characters.


    Soon he found a character he was looking for. The archaic character was alone in a medium-sized blob of light, which of a proof of its strength. Param tried to connect to the blob of light, and the archaic character immediately retaliated while showing its true form- ''Will''.


    Param once again entered a virtual scene. In the scene he was seated on the ground, and in front of him was another him, which was the ''Will''. Apparently, he just had to ''out-sit'' the ''Will''. The place where they sat was a large forest, and the environment was extremely unstable. One moment it was sunny, and the other moment it would rain heavily. Sometimes it would snow, while sometimes there were sandstorms.


    There were even more bizarre and eye-dropping scenes. Sometimes he would see extremely seductive beauties dancing in front of him, or extremely handsome men displaying their muscles. Then there was smog, acid rain, and even the annoying sounds of car and truck horns!


    One year passed, and Param felt like he couldn''t endure it. But when he saw the ''Will'' in front of him who looked at him in disdainful determination spouted out from somewhere and filled him.


    Five years passed, and dirt and roots had now covered his body. His original appearance could hardly be seen, and he feared that as soon as he got up he''d find out that he''d gotten the legendary hemorrhoids! The ''Will'' seemed to be in similar situation, as sometimes his face would suddenly twist in tremendous pain.


    Twenty years passed, and a small mountain of mud had formed over Param, enveloping him. The weather kept on changing occasionally, and sometimes the mountain of mud would be broken, only to be rebuilt again.


    Innumerable years passed, and Param seemed to have forgotten everything, even the reason why he was sitting still like a statue. However, there was only one thought on his mind- to sit, to sit until eternity!


    Finally, some years later Param suddenly heard a cry from outside. The mountain of dirt covering Param suddenly disappeared, and the ''Will'' which looked like him was seen, who was screaming like a madman.


    Param had proven his Will by defeating himself!

 16 ACCIDEN

    The medium sized blob of light disappeared as Param gained control over the ''Will'' archaic character. His spiritual consciousness floated like an octopus in a vast ocean as he relaxed for a while. At this moment he heard a faint sound ringing throughout the Authority Pillar''s spiritual consciousness. His curiosity was aroused and he willed his spiritual consciousness to move towards the source of the sound.


    He passed thorough many medium sized blobs of light, leaving them behind. Soon he arrived near the large sized blobs of light. These blobs of light had extremely powerful archaic characters, and these characters formed their own mini world. In some blobs of light he saw castles, planets, and even black holes. These mini worlds had their own life forms and when he came near them they immediately changed into their true forms and directed their hostile intents towards him.


    But how could Param back down? He utilized his Level Max Taunting Skill, and the archaic characters became enraged as they thrashed on the walls of the blobs of light.


    Param snorted in disdain as he spoke inwardly. ''Stupid!''


    He passed by the large blobs of light and the faint noise grew clearer. He arrived at the extremely large blobs of light which numbered only ten. These blobs only contained a single archaic character, and Param sweated inwardly when he felt the aura released by them. These archaic characters had unimaginable power, and could easily support multiple worlds similar to the outside world.


    He didn''t dare to even let out a squeak as he left them behind. Floating forward he came near the largest blob of light in the center-most position. The archaic character in the largest blob of light seemed extremely gentle as it floated still in the center of sphere. It didn''t let out a frightening aura, nor did it kept changing forms to show its strength and dominance.


    Of course, Param wasn''t stupid to naively believe that it was a weak archaic character. He was just a few feet away from the largest blob of light, and at this distance he could clearly hear the sound being emitted by the archaic character.


    *Oooooommmmmmm*


    The archaic character let out melodious ''Om'' vibrations which made him surprised. Was the origin of his power this ''Om'' archaic character?


    He willed, and his spiritual consciousness moved a strand on the barrier of the blob of light. The moment the strand came in contact with the barrier he saw his own body meditation in front of the Authority Pillar. The scene minimized as the imaginary camera floated upwards rapidly. His body became smaller and smaller, and the entire island filled the scene. Soon even the island grew smaller and he could even see the White Palace. The camera moved even further, and the islands became a speck of dot.


    The camera seemed to have torn through the barrier as the world was enveloped by a spherical black barrier. The spherical barrier had many strands protruding out from it, and these strands were connected to something below it as they supported the world. The camera moved upwards, and the world which was enveloped in the black barrier grew smaller. The world finally became a speck of light, and the foundation which supported the world came into view.


    The foundation was an archaic character¡­


    ''Om''


    Param was shocked by this and realized that he was still an insignificant existence before the eternal and infinite. At this moment he suddenly blacked out. His spiritual consciousness fractured as the world inside it crumbled. Before losing consciousness he could only think of one word¡­


    F*ck!


    On the Island, Param''s body which was seated in a lotus position suddenly became bloody. His bones shattered, muscles and tendons torn, and organs burst out. Multi-colored blood covered the ground and his body fell down.


    The word Authority twinkled, and a barrier formed which enveloped him.


    ***


    Inside the spiritual consciousness, many timid archaic characters were frightened as they saw the massive fractures appearing on the barriers enveloping the world. A few archaic characters who were previously suppressed cheered as they became free once again.


    Param''s spiritual consciousness had expanded with time with the increase in archaic characters and formed its own mini-world. These were lands and seas, mountains and lakes. The archaic characters willingly or unwillingly lived in this world and had formed their own civilization. These natives had divided the world into four domains, and each domain had its own ''Warlord''. At the center was another domain, which belonged to the ruler of this mini-world, the King!


    This ruler of the mini-world was an archaic character was currently cursing furiously at the main body for increasing its work load, proving that it was indeed someone related to Param. Occasionally its body grew illusory, showing its true form, which was the archaic character- ''Intent''.


    When Param had obtained this archaic character, he''d created an Intent to control and manage his spiritual consciousness. Param''s Intent stood on its castle walls as he watched the chaos all over the place. Beside it was another archaic character which looked like a teenager, whose face looked familiar with the courageous boy. His body grew illusory for a moment, displaying an archaic character- ''Protect''. This boy seemed to have matured a little as he spoke.


    "Should I call \u003cHeal, Life\u003e?"


    Param''s Intent stared into the distance and slowly shook its head. "This time the damage is larger. More procedures are necessary."


    Besides the previously suppressed archaic characters, the bindings on the newly suppressed characters from the medium-sized blobs of light seemed to have vanished. These characters were high-tier, and were stronger than the natives.


    An archaic character stood in the air, watching the native world. Its face looked extremely domineering, with an expression of ''I-don''t-give-a-shit-about-you''. It wore robes with majestic patterns befitting that of a ruler, and it occasionally fluttered against the illusory wind of the mini-world. Its body occasionally grew transparent, displaying an archaic character- ''Indomitable''.


    The character suddenly laughed like a villain as he faced the sky above.


    "This world is mine!"


    Below him a gorilla stroked his chin as he watched this particular person laughing madly in the sky. It wondered about this fellow newcomer and felt a little worried. Suddenly the gorilla seemed to have realized something as it smacked its fist over its other palm. The fellow newcomer had gone crazy!


    Thinking thus he snorted in disdain towards the ''fellow newcomer'' and left. Occasionally the gorilla''s body would become transparent, showing an archaic character- ''Martial''.

 17 CHAOS IN THE SPIRITUAL CONSCIOUSNESS

    Param''s spiritual consciousness¡­


    A thin youth stared at the fractures on the barrier of the mini-world. He wore a long coat with red clouds with white borders printed over it. He had long blonde hair which covered one eye, creating a sinister appearance. Apparently, thin youth was heavily influenced by Param''s memories.


    The youth suddenly laughed like a mental patient. "Hahaha¡­ Hahaha¡­ I am free!" His figure flickered for a moment, and an archaic character was seen- ''Explosion''.


    At this moment a fat person with face shaped in an inverted triangle who stood behind him spoke.


    "Lord, they have arrived."


    The thin blonde haired youth looked ahead and saw an army arriving towards them. His eyebrows twitched as he screamed.


    "This bitch! Is she crazy? This is time where we rebel against the King! Why has this bitch brought her army here?"


    The army in front of him was led by a fierce woman, who was riding another giant person. The woman jumped when she reached them and flew towards the thin blonde haired youth. Her body turned transparent for a moment, highlighting her true form- ''Madness''.


    "Crazy bitch!"


    He pointed towards the woman who had almost landed on his head. A dot of light shot out like a bullet and hit her body, prompting a massive explosion. The sky burned and the woman flew away for a dozen meters while laughing maniacally.


    The two armies made contact and started using their innate abilities. Flashes of lights appeared all over the place, inviting screams and curses.


    "Amplify!"


    The fat man with face shaped in an inverted triangle shouted, and strands of light protruded from his body, attached themselves to his comrades. Those archaic characters felt their strength increase as they fought more enthusiastically. Suddenly a dot of light flew into the crowd of the enemy army, and an explosion took place. Many archaic characters lost their physical form, returning into their true forms.


    "Art is an explosion!"


    The blonde haired thin youth exclaimed as he ran towards the woman who''d fallen. The woman was pretty strong as she seemed completely fine even after getting in an explosion and flying a few dozen meters away. She got up slowly and looked at him and caressing her hair leisurely while looking at him, as if she was in her dressing room and not in a battlefield.


    "Hihihi¡­You are always so amusing¡­Hihihi¡­"


    She spoke and laughed in between, and suddenly sprinted. Her silhouette blurred as she ran and in an instant reached the blonde haired thin youth. A punch arrived and hit him. The youth didn''t even had the time to curse before he flew away.


    "Lord!"


    His subordinates shouted as they ran towards him. One of the subordinates revealed his true form for a moment, showing his true form- ''Golem''. The subordinate looked like a Greek statue, with short hair with a crown made of leaves and a six pack abs.


    The subordinate confronted the mad woman, who looked at him and said.


    "Ohhh! What a beautiful statue!..."


    Then she looked down between his legs and frowned. "Why aren''t you naked? Now I''m mad!"


    She suddenly sent a kick towards the subordinate. The subordinate flew in the sky and immediately lost its true form. A few seconds later another bunch of subordinates flew in the sky, losing their true forms.


    "Die!" the blonde haired thin youth suddenly shouted as he again pointed towards the mad woman. An explosion appeared, and the mad woman again flew in the air.


    From a distance a man was watching this scene while floating in the air. His silhouette flickered, showing his true form- ''Indomitable''.


    "*sigh* I''ll have to make do with this trash."


    His silhouette flickered again, this time due to his extreme speed. Creatures from the two armies flew left and right, immediately turning into their true forms. Some who were weaker became dormant after turning into their true forms.


    The blonde haired thin youth watched the new man who''d arrived and pointed towards him. The dot of light shot into the arrogant man''s chest and exploded. The youth looked at the battlefield filled with dust and laughed loudly.


    "Art is an explosion!"


    "Explosion your sister!"


    A voice came from the cloud of dust as a man flew out and threw a punch. The punch hit the youth while creating a loud boom and immediately suppressed him. The youth turned into his true form while silently floating in the air.


    The mad woman looked at the arrogant youth with shining eyes.


    "So strong! I like you!"


    Veins popped out on the arrogant man''s face as he threw another punch.


    "Like your sister!"


    The arrogant man didn''t show mercy towards the mad woman and her physical form shattered, turning her into her true form. The arrogant man used his innate talent and his archaic character shined brightly, creating suppressing effect on the defeated party.


    ***


    Similar instances took place all over the mini-world, and a group of trash formed a large alliance named ''All Should Unite And Replace The King''. At this moment the alliance had formed a large army which was ready to siege the royal castle.


    Param''s Intent was supervising his army which was getting ready for a chain of fights. The army was completely formed of cavalry and rode horses which were formed of mud. He''d spent a lot of effort to create these horses, and they were formed using the innate abilities of multiple archaic characters.


    At this moment he heard noises from outside cursing him.


    "Cowardly King, get out!"


    "Cowardly King, do you dare to fight us?"


    "Bastard King, you have no one to support you now. We''ll suppress you for eternity like how you did to us!"


    His eyebrows twitched as he shouted: "Lightning! Sloth!"


    A flash of lightning appeared in front of him. The lightning had a humanoid shape and it carried a beautiful frail woman who was asleep on its back. Param''s Intent rubbed his forehead as he saw her lazy and carefree expression. He caressed her head and tried to wake her up.


    "Sloth, wake up. Do your job."


    The frail beauty moaned softly and said. "Five more minutes¡­"


    This scene was enough to melt a person''s heart. But Param''s Intent was similar to him, so his reaction also was according to his innermost nature. He looked towards the humanoid figure made of lightning and gently nodded.


    "Throw her into the crowd."

 18 BATTLE!

    The humanoid figure made of lightning nodded and went away in a flash. Apparently this wasn''t the first time it had happened. At this moment a teenage girl walked in a looked at Param''s Intent angrily and scolded him.


    "You shouldn''t treat Sister Sloth like that!"


    Param''s Intent waved his hand casually. "Don''t worry. She won''t die easily." He paused for a while and then added.


    "The army is almost ready to depart. Like always they will depend on you."


    The teenage girl puffed her cheeks and made an unwilling face. She stared at him, and he stared back. The teenage girl slowly started to waver and her expression turned into a crying one. She suddenly ran away as she said while sobbing.


    "You are a big bully!"


    Her body showed her true form for a moment, which was an archaic character- ''Heal, Life''. Param''s Intent massaged his forehead once again at this repetitive scene and cursed softly. "Drama Queen!"


    Although he didn''t know what the words meant, he always felt that these words perfectly described this situation. He sighed as he remembered how innocent the girl was before. He signaled \u003cProtect\u003e to look after the drama queen and went back to this army.


    ***


    Outside the castle, a hundreds of archaic characters were staring viciously at the King''s Castle. Some sat on the ground; some squatted lazily while some were stood straight as they glanced around attentively. This group was the alliance named ''All Should Unite And Replace The King'', which was led by some ambitious and na?ve ones.


    At the foremost was a small group of people who''d been assigned an extremely important task of curse towards the castle and provoke the king to come out. Initially the alliance had challenged the King formally, but the King dismissed them after saying one word- "Trash!"


    The leaders of the alliance were infuriated and gave a command to siege the castle. However the King simply waved his sleeves and sent out a guard named \u003cHeavy\u003e, which turned into a massive giant and instantly suppressed them. The members of the alliance were scared and immediately retreated, not caring whether the leaders were captured.


    After an internal election the members of the alliance chose new leaders, who thought of an idea to lure the King out. After all, will the King be able to win without relying on other people?


    The world was newly formed and there weren''t many vulgarities in the world. This proved to be a problem as the ones in charge of cursing had to think hard to create variations in their curses.


    As the bunch at the foremost was cursing suddenly a body was thrown towards them. The body collided with them and they were knocked out like pins on a bowling alley. A flash of thunder appeared in the crowd and people began to fly left and right. Screams and curses were sounded, and the place became chaotic.


    The frail beauty that was thrown finally woke up and furrowed her brows.


    "Who woke me up?"


    She glanced up and saw the members of the alliance fighting with the humanoid figure made of lightning. Some alliance members noticed her and shouted.


    "Kill her! She''s the King''s guard!"


    They quickly sprinted and circled around her. The frail woman stood up slowly and looked at them while being muddleheaded. She lazily yawned, and unconsciously used her innate ability. The alliance members suddenly felt weak and lazy, and their desire to rest amplified. More than half of them couldn''t resist and turned into their true forms, giving a dim light and becoming dormant. Seeing this, the rest of the alliance members became scared and ran away.


    "Eh? Going away after waking me up?"


    She narrowed her sleepy eyes and ran towards them in her nightdress. Meanwhile, the humanoid figure made of thunder attacked the new leaders of the alliance. The leaders screamed and pleaded as they were beaten up.


    "Aiyo~ Have mercy brother!"


    "It wasn''t me! It wasn''t me! Aiyo~ My leg!"


    "I''m being shattered! Save me from this demon! Anyone, please! Aiyo~"


    "Don''t beat me! I was just- Aiyo~¡­just passing through this place. Believe me- Aiyo~"


    Brutal screams were sounded, and the place turned silent after a while.


    ***


    In other parts of the mini-world, a mysterious rumor was floating around. According to the rumor, there was a new existence even more powerful than the four Warlords, and it wanted them to submit to it. Apparently, two Warlords, named \u003cExplosion\u003e and \u003cMadness\u003e had already submitted, and now it wanted to subdue the other two, \u003cLight\u003e and \u003cBattle\u003e.


    In a certain place, two creatures sat on a luxurious throne, with an army standing behind each of them. One of them looked like a humanoid bamboo puppet, with thin arms and legs. It had seven eyes on each of its limbs, and on its face were three eyes which looked very round, like those of an owl. His true form could be seen occasionally, which was an archaic character- ''Light''.


    In front of him sat another figure that looked like a human general. It wore a bronze armor and its head was covered with a helmet. Beside him was a bronze horse that looked extremely arrogant, and seemed to refuse to give respect to anyone except its master. Their true forms displayed for a moment, which was an archaic character- ''Battle''.


    "I never thought that the two would be defeated."


    The Warlord \u003cBattle\u003e spoke gravely. Warlord \u003cLight\u003e snorted and spoke in disdain.


    "Humph! Just a bunch of trashes!"


    Although he spoke arrogantly, one could still find the slight shivering of his voice.


    "I have a plan¡­." The Warlord \u003cBattle\u003e said as he explained his plan. The Warlord''s idea was to create a defensive battle formation, behind which would be Warlord \u003cLight\u003e''s offensive formation. With sufficient amplification from the soldier''s innate abilities, they were confident of their victory.


    Suddenly they felt a tremor, and they glanced into the horizon. Thousands of natives, who were now subdued formed a massive army and were charging towards them. Compared to this army, the scale of their combined armies was much smaller.


    The Warlord \u003cBattle\u003e sighed as he looked at the fractures on the barrier of the mini-world. "Only the King can save this world."


    The Warlord smirked in sorrow. "Indeed. Those were good old days."


    The massive army arrived, and within moments enveloped the armies of the Warlords, drowning them into chaos.

 19 BATTLE! BATTLE!

    \u003cIndomitable\u003e sat on a lizard-like creature and watched his army move forward to engage with the armies of the remaining two Warlords. He waved his hand, and his new Warlords \u003cExplosion\u003e and \u003cMadness\u003e led in the front.


    "Formation!" the Warlord \u003cBattle\u003e shouted, and army moved while using their innate ability, creating a defensive formation using barriers. Behind them the Warlord \u003cLight\u003e was standing in the middle of a semi-circle. All of the eyes on his shined like bulbs, and released dense lasers of light. The soldiers surrounding him used various innate abilities and reflected these lasers towards their enemies.


    Burning sounds were heard, and screams and moans were released. The Warlord \u003cExplosion\u003e harrumphed, and pointed at the defensive barriers.


    "Art is an explosion!"


    His dialogue came at the same time the explosions took place. The barriers began to crack and slowly started restoring. However a punch quickly arrived and hit the barrier and the restoring process halted. The mad woman, who was the Warlord \u003cMadness\u003e copied her colleague and shouted.


    "Madness is an art!"


    \u003cIndomitable\u003e looked at his promising subordinates with three black lines over his forehead and immediately decided to ''reward'' them after the battle.


    The army of \u003cIndomitable\u003e was massive and consisted of all the archaic characters he''d found on his path. The large numbers succeeded to suppress the Warlords, forcing them to take brutal decisions. Although the Warlords didn''t like the King, they''d never thought of trying to harm him. After all, the King was a symbol of the stability of the mini-world. At this moment they decided to drag down as many people as they can with them, so that the King would have a chance to win.


    "Formation change! Offensive Formation!"


    Warlord \u003cBattle\u003e shouted, and the soldiers quickly moved. Behind them Warlord \u003cLight\u003e closed all eyes over its body, leaving on one open, which was on its forehead. His subordinates changed their positions into two straight lines. Extremely dense light shot out from the eye, and the subordinates used their innate abilities to attach various attributes to this light. The light reflected from one subordinate to another and became more powerful and more pronounced. However, suddenly a change occurred as an archaic character \u003cFocus\u003e suddenly changed the direction of the ray, shooting it towards the Warlord \u003cBattle\u003e.


    The Warlord didn''t expect this secret attack and was hit. His armor shined brightly and protected him, albeit leaving him devoid of strength.


    "Traitor!" The subordinates shouted as they immediately cut the traitor up. But the damage was done. Warlord \u003cBattle\u003e was deadly injured, while Warlord \u003cLight\u003e had exhausted its strength. Their armies lost their morale and could hardly keep up. Warlord \u003cBattle\u003e forced himself to stand and tried to keep up the morale, but couldn''t succeed.


    The rebel \u003cIndomitable\u003e nodded in satisfaction. This is how things should play out! But his happiness couldn''t last long as a gorilla suddenly entered the fight. The gorilla''s attacks were extremely vicious, and its limbs seemed to turn in any possible direction. The gorilla was an expert in combat and would keep using one enemy''s attack to ward off another.


    One person kicked towards the gorilla, and the gorilla simply turned around. A tentacle appeared from behind him, and the creature with the tentacle accidentally hit the leg of the first. A beam shot towards him, and the gorilla grabbed a creature near him. The beam hit the creature and it began to convulse and shrink. The gorilla immediately threw it towards the face of a creature that was using his innate ability to inflate its arm.


    The gorilla seemed to be performing a dance as creatures kept flying with him in the center. The rebel \u003cIndomitable\u003e who was watching this finally grew angry and smacked at the lizard-like creature under him.


    "Kill him!"


    The physical body of the lizard-like creature immediately shattered, with its true form becoming dormant. The Warlord \u003cExplosion\u003e pointed towards the gorilla and shouted.


    "Art is an explosion!"


    The gorilla had keen senses, and it immediately grabbed a rebel soldier to defend itself. As soon as the dot of light hit its body, the gorilla immediately threw it towards the mad woman who was trying to pounce over him. Before the mad woman could say anything she was blown off and flew towards the rebel \u003cIndomitable\u003e.


    "Save me, my love!"


    The Warlord \u003cMadness\u003e spoke as she flew towards the rebel who was floating in the air and the rebel \u003cIndomitable\u003e simply smacked her away.


    "Humph! Useless!"


    The Warlord \u003cExplosion\u003e was stunned by the gorilla''s moves and couldn''t react when the gorilla used a movement technique and arrived near him. The gorilla grabbed his skull with its huge arms and smashed it on the ground for a few times. This brutality made the rebel soldiers scared and they took a step back.


    Just when the rebel \u003cIndomitable\u003e decided to finally join the party the gorilla suddenly grabbed the two Warlords \u003cBattle\u003e and \u003cLight\u003e on their necks like chickens and ran away. It seemed to use a strange movement technique, and if though he ran, he seemed to be moving faster than those who flew to chase him.


    The rebel waved his hand and commanded them to stop chasing after the gorilla. He knew that the gorilla was a subordinate of the King, and would be subdued as long as he could defeat its master.


    The stood in front of the defeated army of the Warlords and used his innate ability to subdue them. His innate ability seemed to be strong as they pledged their allegiance to him.


    ***


    A significant distance away from the rebel army, the cavalry of the King moved in an orderly fashion. This cavalry had horses made of mud, and they wore armor which looked like it was made of multiple small barriers of energy. Behind the cavalry a giant golem walked, and each step produced a tremor on the ground. The King and a few important people were at the center of the cavalry in three carriages, protected by them.


    Walking in front of the King''s army was a new alliance, which was renamed as ''All Should Unite And Support The King''. The King was extremely kind, and when he saw that these natives were living in ignorance he ''taught'' and helped them to enlighten themselves. The alliance members, since then, turned into loyal subjects, and according to the King himself, these loyal subjects pleaded him to lead the royal army.


    Thus, because of these few reasons, there were a bunch of people leading the royal army while secretly sobbing in a muffled voice.

 20 BATTLE! BATTLE! BATTLE!

    The cavalry marched uniformly, slowly moving towards the rebel army. Surrounded by the cavalry were three carriages, and the one at the front most was the largest of them. The King of the mini-world, who was Param''s Intent was currently mediating in a lotus position inside. Faint chants could be heard from his body.


    "Oooommmmmm¡­."


    Each chant produced some energy, which would then be compressed and stored into his left arm. Param''s Intent intended to finish the rebel in one shot. The spiritual consciousness was an upgrade of the mortal mind, so when Param learned from the ''Om'' archaic character, the same knowledge was passed on to his intent in the mini-world. However, the intent was, after all, constructed on a foreign archaic character, and thus couldn''t completely grasp the intricacies, thus reducing its power.


    Time passed, and the army was suddenly intercepted by a familiar figure. When the King saw the gorilla he thought it was trying to rob him. After all, considering the gorilla''s character, this was very much possible. However the gorilla seemed to have suddenly become a good person and told him how he helped the Warlords escape.


    The Warlords were healed by the teenage girl \u003cHeal, Life\u003e and they quickly woke up. On seeing the King they felt ashamed and immediately knelt. After all, even if they were Warlords, they only dared to curse the King in his absence.


    The King looked at the gorilla and his eyes became wet. At last, the gorilla has grown up! He waved his hand and magnanimously asked him which kind of reward it wanted. But the gorilla remained adamant and refused to accept reward; it only wanted the King to defeat the rebels. The King was overflowed with emotions, until he heard the gorilla speak further, which made him shiver with anger.


    Apparently, this gorilla name \u003cMartial\u003e was the number one bully of the world, and almost half of the people of the world were already bullied by him in the past. Moreover, due to prowess, no one dared to fight against it. However, now almost everyone had joined the armies which made it lost its entertainment. After all, if he bullied someone, that person would immediately bring a legion with him to thrash the gorilla. Thus, the gorilla could only wander secretly, praying to not meet those people whom he''d bullied in the past.


    Hearing this Param''s Intent shivered in anger. His hand trembled as it slowly rose and pointed towards it.


    "You!"


    The King suddenly collapsed, becoming unconscious. The guards around him immediately surrounded over.


    "My King!"


    The gorilla saw the scene and quietly slipped away. After walking a few distance away he heard voices of the royal guards cursing it. He sighed, lamenting his bad luck.


    Didn''t they say ''Honesty is the best policy''?


    ***


    Both armies marched on, and finally met on a flat land. The rebel army had grown extremely large, and almost every archaic character existing seemed to have been subdued by the rebel. The battlefield was silent, and no one spoke for a while.


    Soon a person walked forward on the horse. The horse was looked very artificial as its body was extremely aerodynamic. Its body showed its true form for a moment, revealing the archaic character- ''Swift''.


    "I am the new King of this world, \u003cIndomitable\u003e!" The rebel proclaimed.


    Seeing his smug expression how could Param''s Intent be left behind? He immediately came forward on a horse made of lightning. It was the same archaic character who was previously in a humanoid shape.


    "I am your Father!" Param''s Intent said in a loud voice. Trying to act arrogant before me? You''re too young for that!


    The rebel glared at him angrily and shouted: "Seeking death!"


    The two horses immediately shot forward, with their armies behind them. Param''s cavalry didn''t have any weapons; instead their hands were inscribed with a formation which shot various kinds of attacks. The giant behind the cavalry jumped forward and crushed a few enemy soldiers. The ground trembled and a few soldiers collapsed. The frail girl named \u003cSloth\u003e was thrown once again into the crowd. The royal army soldiers were smart and kept a distance from the place where she was thrown.


    "Who woke me up? Who dare to do it?"


    The frail girl asked angrily. Her vision fell on the surrounding rebel soldiers. She pointed at them and asked again.


    "Was it you guys who woke me up?"


    The rebel soldiers looked at each other and smirked.


    "Idiot!" A werewolf clawed at her, and the frail girl flew in the air, crashing a few meters away and creating a cloud of dust. The royal soldiers who saw this immediately became scared and ran away a few meters further. The rebel soldiers slowly walked near her, and even gave her the time to stand up, as if her life was in their hands, and they could take it whenever they wanted.


    The body of the frail girl shivered for a moment, and black smoke came out of her body, enveloping a few meters of space. A few minutes later the smoke disappeared, and the rebel soldiers had turned into their true forms, becoming dormant.


    In the air, the rebel \u003cIndomitable\u003e and the King collided with each other. They had condensed their battle intent into a crude weapon, which looked like thin plank of wood. The weapon was unrefined but had sharp edges, and looked like a flattened light saber.


    The rebel was worthy of its name, as he quickly suppressed the King in just a few dozen moves.


    "Too weak!" the rebel taunted him as he made another hacking motion. The King almost lost his posture as his horse was pushed down in the air due to the force. The rebel''s eyes shone brightly at this opportunity and attempted to slash towards him. Suddenly a laser shot out towards him, and the rebel was forced to defend.


    He looked towards the attacker, whose entire body was covered with eyes. He sneered and patted his horse and jumped. The horse immediately shot towards Warlord \u003cLight\u003e. Its movement was fast and an elliptical barrier was formed in front of it. The Warlord shot of beams of intense light but failed to target the horse which kept on changing its position. The Warlord failed to stop the horse from approaching him, and the barrier of the horse slammed into him, smashing his body.

 21 BIRTH OF VRITRA

    Warlord \u003cBattle\u003e glanced around the battlefield and continuously shouted commands, changing his army formation according to the changes in the battlefield. Suddenly the enemy soldiers parted, revealing a gigantic mammoth. The mammoth had started sprinting long ago and had achieved its maximum speed. Its body turned transparent for a moment, revealing his true body- ''Momentum''.


    "Change to Needle Shield Formation!" the Warlord shouted, and his army immediately rearranged themselves. They formed multiple barriers using the shield, with one arm holding the shields while the other supporting the back of the soldier standing in front of them. The Mammoth crashed into the formation, and immediately shattered the true bodies of the soldiers at the front. The shock traveled along the formation and slowly dispersed until it reached the end.


    The soldiers at the end quickly retreated a formed a small group which was led by the Warlord and attacked the Mammoth. The Mammoth wreaked havoc but was easily subdued by the group of experts.


    ***


    In the air, the rebel was ecstatic as his attacks kept suppressing the King. The small wounds on the King''s body inflicted by the battle intent of the rebel increased over time, and the King gradually became weaker and weaker over time.


    The innate nature of the rebel \u003cIndomitable\u003e was domination, and thus the wounds inflicted by his battle intent were already started to suppress the King from inside out.


    The King grew weaker for a moment, and the rebel instantly slashed towards its arm. The sharp battle intent immediately chopped the King''s hand, which flew in the air and disappeared. The King immediately summoned his battle intent in his other arm, but it took a few moments and he received another three wounds.


    "You''re finished!" The rebel taunted him. Just a little more and he would become the master of this world! Of course, he didn''t know that if that happened, the spiritual consciousness would collapse and be destroyed, along with the death of Param.


    Param''s Intent sighed in sorrow. Perhaps it was fate? For a moment the fractures on the barrier of the world looked beautiful to him. The rebel noticed his emotional fluctuations and sneered inwardly. He''d destroyed the momentum of the King.


    Taking advantage of the distraction he gathered his energy and exploded towards the King in a piercing motion. He wanted to finish the King in one shot!


    The rebel''s battle intent quickly reached the King. The King gathered himself and tried to avoid the strike with his battle intent. However the momentum behind the rebel''s attack was very large and the King''s battle intent shattered!


    The battle intent of the rebel moved forward, now without any hindrances and almost reached the King. At that moment a barrier lit up on the King''s body just a few centimeters away from the King''s skin. An archaic character floated on the barrier showing its true form ¨C ''Protect''. The battle intent collided with the barrier and tried to pierce it, but even the great momentum it''d gathered seemed to be insufficient for the job.


    The rebel was stunned as he didn''t expect such a strong barrier to exist. The King smiled as he looked at the rebel and said.


    "Got you!"


    Suddenly a flash of lightning appeared behind the rebel and shot out a palm. The rebel in a haste sent out a kick, and the lightning in humanoid figure flew away, but not before making a contact with the rebel''s back.


    The archaic character which stuck to the rebel''s back shined brightly, and it immediately froze him. Apparently, Param''s Intent had used the archaic character- ''Still'' to suppress the rebel, which was one of the few archaic characters that could be used on him.


    He smashed his left palm on the rebel, and a beam of energy flew out, shattering the rebel''s body. The rebel turned into its true form and became dormant. The King quickly used his spiritual sense and suppressed the troublesome archaic character.


    The effect over the enemy archaic characters vanished and they immediately surrendered.


    As the fight ended the followers of the King cheered, especially those who belonged to an alliance known as the ''All Should Unite And Support The King'', who couldn''t stop sobbing and crying.


    ***


    Now that the conquest for domination of the world had ended, it was time to solve the major problem. The King quickly assembled a team of experts and began to heal the barrier of the mini-world.


    The fractures were analyzed and customized formations made of archaic characters were pasted onto them. Sometimes the repair needed even more complex procedures, which led to the birth of the first machines made of archaic characters.


    The barrier of the world slowly recovered, and the connection of the spiritual consciousness with the physical body once again started working.


    ***


    In the outside the barrier created by the Authority Pillar¡­


    Some of the multicolored blood from Param''s body splattered a little far away, outside the range of the barrier. Perhaps it contained his anger and resentment; it violently sucked away the elements near it- earth, water, fire, air, energy and space.


    The elements slowly took shape as a humanoid body slowly formed. Tall and blackish, he appeared like a burnt hill and was as lustrous as a bright array of clouds in the evening. The hair on his body and his beard and mustache were the color of melted copper, and his eyes were piercing like the midday sun. He appeared unconquerable, as if holding the world on the points of his blazing fingers. Dancing and shouting with a loud voice, he made the entire surface of the earth tremble as if from an earthquake. As he yawned again and again, he seemed to be trying to swallow the whole sky with his mouth, which was as deep as a cave.


    The Sura were frightened as well as curious of their newly born brother. The eldest brother of the Sura, named One, slowly walked towards this new creature and greeted him with a bow.


    "Greetings, Younger Brother! I am One, the Eldest Brother of the Sura race."


    Despite its frightening appearance, the newborn seemed extremely intelligent as he respectfully bowed back.


    "Greetings, Eldest Brother! I am Vritra, the harbinger of Drought and Adversity, the one who envelops the World."

 22 VRITRA VS THE WORLD

    Hearing his words the Eldest Sura was stunned. Taking this opportunity Vritra materialized his battle intent and slashed towards him. Blood spurted out, and the Eldest Sura quickly backed down.


    The other Sura members saw this and grew angry. Materializing their battle intents they surrounded him. One''s partner, Violet stared at Vritra angrily and asked.


    "Why did you attack your Eldest Brother?"


    Vritra looked at them confidently. "My innate nature is to envelop the world, bringing stagnation. Forgive me, but only by defeating you all will I be able to realize it."


    He stamped on the ground and sprinted forward. The Sura were not a match for him, and were slashed mercilessly. The Sura kept retreating and couldn''t think of a solution.


    "Senior Brother! Senior Sister! Help us!"


    Violet pleaded in the direction of the mansion, and two figures flew out. They had bodies made of earth, and looked like finely crafted Greek statues. Their bodies were filled with formations, and they had an eye-catching number carved over their left cheeks. They were Earth Golem Experimental Version Number 1, and Earth Golem Experimental Version Number 2, whose name was forcefully changed to G1 and G2.


    The two landed on the ground, which created a small earthquake. They glanced at the Sura kids, and their expressions became angry. Two hands shot out towards Vritra, in the shape of a claw and palm. Vritra twisted his body and avoided their attacks, and slashed towards them. The two used their strong physiques to defend against his attacks. Vritra''s battle intent collided against their bodies but couldn''t penetrate it. G1''s body turned, and her kick hit him. His body flew in the air and was grabbed by G2, who smashed him into the ground and created a crater.


    The Sura cheered as they saw this. However suddenly smoke rose from the crater and enveloped the two Yaksha standing near it. Vritra shot out from the crater while brandishing his battle intent in both of his arms. His beard which was the color of melted copper fluttered in the wind, and he glanced at the two Yaksha with his piercing eyes.


    G1 and G2 felt their vitality fading and they backed down to retreated from the smoke. However Vritra didn''t give them a chance and immediately attacked. The smoke had mysterious properties, and it starting corroding the formation carved on their bodies. The couple felt their strength decrease over time and Vritra started gaining the upper hand.


    *BAM* *BAM*


    Two bodies shot out from the smoke. G1 and G2 crashed into the ground while creating a long ditch. A figure walked out leisurely while yawning, lazily glancing at his surroundings.


    *Screech!*


    Three sharp cries were heard, and three massive birds the size of a car approached the newborn. The Golden Crow had seen from a distance how Vritra had defeated everyone, and couldn''t tolerate someone other than him being so arrogant. He furiously flapped his wings and yellow-red explosive flames shot out. Vritra didn''t dodge and the flames hit his body. The flames exploded and covered his entire being. The flames gradually extinguished, gradually exposing Vritra''s unhurt body.


    Seeing that their Elder Brother''s flames didn''t work, the Phoenix and the Vermilion Bird shot out their own flames. Again two flames covered Vritra''s body, but still weren''t able to harm him. The three were astonished, as they knew the strength behind their flames. Their flames were extremely powerful and could burn almost anything in the world.


    At this moment a trumpet was heard. The young White Winged Elephant who''d grown to a size of an excavator arrived, and immediately gave a sharp cry. His cry summoned clouds and thunder in the sky. The clouds gathered in the sky slowly turned darker and darker, turning from cotton white to deep blue. Lightning cackled inside, and swam in the thick ocean of clouds.


    Seeing this Vritra stared piercingly at the clouds, as if he was meeting his mortal enemy. Rain fell for the first time in the world, and the ground became wet and emitted a pleasant fragrance.


    "Die!"


    Vritra shouted as he stamped on the ground heavily. The shock-wave created an earthquake, and he shot into the sky like a rocket. He clenched his battle intent with his two hands, which had grown a few meters tall and as broad like a surf boat, ready in a hacking motion. The young elephant trumpeted again, and a lightning rod shot out from the clouds.


    "Vanish!"


    Vritra shouted as he made a hacking motion in the air. His energy flew out in a parabolic path and collided with the lightning in the air. The lightning scattered in the air and vanished. He opened his mouth and sucked in. The clouds seemed to be pulled by a mysterious force, as they flew into his mouth. The White Winged Elephant seemed to be affected and he collapsed, falling on the ground.


    Everyone was filled with despair as they looked at the figure floating in the plain sky. Vritra suddenly smiled as he looked into the distance and found a new opponent. A shrill scream filled the sky as Garuda arrived.


    He looked at the White Winged Elephant and shouted. "Seek help from the ocean!"


    The elephant understood its meaning and quickly flew away. Vritra didn''t try to stop it as he was confident that he would be able to overcome any challenge.


    Vritra and Garuda faced off in the sky, and explosions took place. Shock-waves were created with each attack, and neither of them refused to back down. Garuda knew that he had to hold on, or else the Island will surely be destroyed.


    ***


    The White Winged Elephant flew towards the cloud barrier as if his life depended on it. He reached the barrier and trumpeted in frustration when he realized that he couldn''t cross it. Suddenly a force hit the barrier from the other side and created a large hole, enough for him to pass. He cried in joy and quickly went to the other side.


    On flying some distance he was immediately intercepted by the Profound Fish, who brought him into the inner court of the White Palace.

 23 WHITES NEW DAUGHTER

    The inner court of the White Palace was as large as four football fields, and there were many crystal trees for decoration. These trees were the latest works of White, who was attempting to create plant life suited to the environment of White Palace and the ocean.


    The Profound Fish was instructed by White to escort the White Winged Elephant as soon as she''d sensed the birth of Vritra. At this moment the will of the world had been split in two, and neither she nor Gaia had a solution to their problem. So if she tried to enter Gaia''s domain, the clash between the wills would lose the frail balance and harm the beings inside them.


    Soon the elephant arrived next to White who was meditating with her eyes closed. Although this was the first time seeing her, he could sense a similar maternal aura to Gaia, giving him a feeling of comfort and security. She opened her eyes and spoke softly.


    "I knew you would come. Tell me, what exactly happened."


    The White Winged Elephant greeted her and quickly told her how their Youngest Brother was born with a destructive innate nature, and how he had defeated them.


    After finishing his recounting White nodded. "So it is another troublesome child."


    The young White Winged Elephant sweated as he thought: Dear Might Mother, this troublemaker has almost killed everyone on the Island!


    White gently removed her clothes and entered a large pool which was at the edge of the courtyard. She scrubbed her body nicely, enjoying her bath. Her movements continued, giving rise to foam which was produced from the waves of the water. She collected the foam and used her innate ability, converting it into a thin shiny cylinder shaped long crystal.


    She grabbed the crystal and pinched her fingers, shaping the crystal into a long spear. When the spear took shape she sharpened the blade at its tip using her fingers, and smiled when was satisfied. She held the spear, and cut exactly eleven strands of her blue-white hair.


    Archaic characters shot out from the tip of her fingers and formed complex formations. These formations shot into the eleven hairs, and the hairs shined with light. She waved her hand and a ball of light shot out from a room. This was one of the spiritual consciousnesses that she''d created. The spiritual consciousness combined with the eleven hairs, and started absorbing the elements around it. White waved her hand again, and a few high quality crystals flew out, merging with it.


    The materials combined and slowly formed the figure of a small child. It was a cute girl, aged around three years old. She looked similar to White, with blue-white hair and eyes, and milky skin. Her small nose and chubby cheeks made her look cute and her small fingers and toes added points to her adorableness.


    As she came to life, her nose twitched cutely and she slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes fell on White and she giggled and jumped into her embrace.


    "Mother!"


    White played with the kid for a while, and then declared while looking at her.


    "You are Aria!"


    The laws of the world in White''s domain changed, obeying her Will. Beside her the White Winged Elephant was confused. We asked you to save us from the newborn, and you gave birth to a child?


    As if guessing his thoughts White put Aria down on the ground and said. "This child will help you defeat Vritra."


    The elephant looked at the little kid, and then remembered the colossal power which shook the world; then finally looked at White with his large tennis ball eyes.


    Oh Mother, are you kidding me?


    Little Aria was excited by her Mother''s words as she enthusiastically hopped onto the elephant''s back. White threw the spear towards her and the little brat caught it expertly.


    "Go!" Aria shouted and pointed out of White Palace. As she left the palace along with the Profound Fish a legion of Crystal Titans were ready. After a small fight, White agreed to compromise with Param and named the Crystal Titans based on the four directions, with male being called Cloud, and the female Tide. Thus, the couples were: North Cloud and North Tide, West Cloud and West Tide, East Cloud and East Tide, and South Cloud and South Tide.


    Even though they had such ridiculously simple names, Param would still sometimes confuse them, leaving the kids dumbfounded.


    The four Crystal Titans were ready to depart, with their partners staying behind to take care of the palace. The one leading them was North Cloud, who was the oldest and also the one who was accepted by the Cloud Thunder Horse. The horse had grown to the size of a normal adult horse, and its blue body filled with purple patches occasionally enveloped it with lightning on making any movement.


    Above the group a Kun Peng flew in the sky using its large feathered wings. Each flap of those wings created an extremely fierce wind, and one couldn''t help but shiver in fear on seeing its massive body and those fierce eyes filled with fighting spirit.


    As to why a bunch of trouble-making dragon, turtle and fish were excluded? Their powers were oriented towards the ocean, and would only be a hindrance on the Island.


    When the Profound Fish introduced their army commander to the group, the Crystal Titans were stunned as they looked at the little figure seating on the White Winged Elephant. The Kun Peng flying in the sky felt a little annoyed and tried to bully the little girl by floating near her and trying to intimidate by squinting its large fierce eyes.


    Aria became unhappy being stared at by the Kun Peng and jumped in the air. Her little hand moved and she slapped the body of the giant whale. The Kun Peng made a shocked expression as it rotated in the air for a few times.


    The three troublemakers saw this and laughed in a human-like way until tears fell off their eyes. They would surely keep using this ''content'' to tease the Kun Peng brat. The Crystal Titans were forced to change their impression of Aria after this event. North Cloud nodded in assertion: How could someone personally created by Mother be ordinary?


    *Trumpet*


    The White Winged Elephant cried and flapped its wings, taking off in the air. The legion followed their little army commander, travelling towards their battlefield.

 24 DROUGHT AND ADVERSITY HAS ARRIVED!

    The legion of little Aria traveled towards the cloud barrier. Similar to little kids, Aria couldn''t help but become bored and started chatting with others. However, the Kun Peng brat held a grudge after being smacked away, while the Crystal Titans were becoming more and more tensed as they were reaching the cloud barrier and weren''t in the mood of talking. Aria''s little mouth curled downwards and her eyes moved, finally landing down, at her mount.


    She patted the young White Winged Elephant and asked him.


    "Senior, what is your name?"


    The elephant shivered when he heard her voice. How could one bear to send such a cute and little girl to a battlefield?


    He trumpeted in response, replying with his spiritual consciousness. "I don''t have a name yet." Of course, he didn''t dare to tell the truth, which was that Father had actually forgotten to name him!


    Aria made an exaggeratedly horrified expression, as if the elephant was going to die in a few days. She made a determined expression and patted her chest.


    "Don''t worry Senior! I shall name you! Henceforth, your name will be Rain Cloud!"


    Suddenly North Cloud made a surprised expression. He could sense changes in the laws of the world in response to little Aria''s words. He couldn''t help but take another glance at her. According to what they''d been told, Vritra was the personification of Drought and Adversity. And now little Aria had named her mount Rain Cloud, making her the master of one who commands the rain, wind and clouds. Was this a coincidence, or fate?


    ***


    Sometime before on the Island¡­


    The fight between Garuda and Vritra had reached new heights. Ground shook and craters formed, changing the landscape of the Island. The Sura had long since retreated under the protection of the Yaksha couple G1 and G2 to the vast garden, and they occasionally prayed to their Mother and Father to save them. Unfortunately they didn''t know that their Father was fatally wounded, while their Mother Gaia was meditating deep underground in seclusion to learn from the profound veins.


    The Sura began to feel safer as the garden was the domain of the First Born Plants, the Tulsi, the Bamboo, the Soma, and the Banyan. After Param told them to proliferate these plants rapidly gave birth to a variety of plants, trees and herbs, and had turned the garden into a forest. The plant life created by them was intelligent, and they even had their spiritual forms. Thus, the garden had turned into a small kingdom, with the four First Born as their Kings.


    Far away, Vritra and Garuda stared at each other while huffing deeply. The mighty fight consumed a large amount of their energies, yet ended in a draw. The both of them knew that if they forced themselves they were bound to die.


    Garuda took deep breaths as he looked at his Youngest Brother and couldn''t help but sigh. Compared to him, Vritra seemed to have a deeper intimacy with their Father, and his strength seemed even larger than what he''d showed until now.


    The both parties stared at each other, and prepared their signature attack. Vritra took a deep breath, and his hands made a clawing motion. Garuda readied his talons and spread his wings. The two moved and quickly the distance between the two reduced to zero. Vritra''s clawed hand and Garuda''s talons clashed, and a sphere of shock-wave spread out. Vritra''s body retreated a dozen meters, and Garuda''s body flew back and disappeared into the distance.


    Garuda quickly made use of the momentum and retreated. He flew into the garden, and the Sura helped him treat his injuries. He sighed, and glanced at the Sura kids whom he''d watched over since the day they were born.


    "I''ve lost this time!"


    Hearing his words the Sura grew silent and even the Yaksha couple didn''t know what to say.


    "He will return. We have to hold him, at least until the White Winged Elephant kid returns with reinforcements from the Ocean." Violet said.


    They all nodded, as they knew that the Ocean was another Mother, just like their Mother Gaia.


    ***


    Vritra''s POV¡­


    I opened my eyes after a long meditation in satisfaction. My wounds caused by the fight had been healed, and I had once again reached the peak of my power. I smirked as I remembered the last fight. Although I showed my siblings respect out of courtesy, I''ve always felt that I was the strongest since the moment I was born. I could not help but act in malice. It was my nature; whenever I sensed the vitality in my siblings I felt a powerful urge to destroy, and return the world to its previous state.


    I glanced at the river above in the sky, and my eyes reddened. I felt a deep anger, and a thought magnified in my mind to destroy it. I was born to bring Drought and Adversity, and I gained joy from it.


    I flew in the air and utilized by innate powers. Smoke came out in massive quantities and enveloped the sky. This smoke, born from me, had the ability to suppress any kind of flowing water. The river in the sky was a symbol of origin of life- the nemesis of me! The smoke surrounded the river and suppressed it.


    The river turned thinner and thinner, and the bubble enveloping the sun disappeared. Gradually the river shrank and became imprisoned in a ball of smoke. The smoke floated in the air, and I scratched my beard as I glanced at my masterpiece. As the sun was no longer enveloped by the bubble of water its high temperature flames nearly burned the sky and melted the earth. The white layered rainbow became dim as it lost its source of strength. Life in the world began to struggle and begged for the flaming giant for mercy. Isn''t this what I wanted?


    Drought and Adversity¡­. Both have finally appeared in the world!

 25 PREPARATIONS

    While the kids were fighting on the Island, a different scene could be seen deep below the Island.


    Gaia was in deep meditation as she observed and analyzed the profound veins. After going through innumerable times of refinement, the profound energy within the veins had gone through massive changes. Initially a part of Gaia, now the profound veins had reformed their spiritual consciousness. The massive river of energy flowed through the tunnels while forming a vague shape of a dragon and roaring occasionally. The roars made the ground tremble, and the elements surrounding it trembled and collapsed. The profound energy had turned viscous under the refinements, and shined like lustrous metals.


    Gaia sweated profusely at she mediated while floating in her self-made cave. Each drop was bronze colored and extremely heavy, as if weighing ten thousand tons. They flowed down her body and gathered at the bottom of the humongous cave, creating a lake. As she breathed, her exhaled breath seeped into the surrounding rocks, forming purple colored crystals. These crystals contained massive amounts of pure profound energy, and the aura around them was extremely oppressive.


    If anyone saw this scene they''d be shocked: Gaia was actually creating metal and energy resources!


    The place was enveloped by a massive barrier, and she hardly bothered herself with the outside world.


    ***


    Currently the defeated group was recuperating in the garden. The injuries on the Sura and Garuda were fatal, but fortunately they received the aid of the Tulsi plant. The leaves of the plant had world defying healing properties, and just chewing on a leaf could heal them instantly. Even the golem bodies of the Yaksha couple were healed as they applied the extract of the Tulsi leaves. Although the world was almost burning, the plants had an extremely high origin, and thus could tolerate such changes in the environment.


    Far away from them, Vritra looked at the sky which was filled with smoke. The smoke was getting denser and denser, enveloping the sky. The clouds of smoke were as dark as the night sky, and hid the sun and the rainbow behind them. The world was enveloped in an endless dark night, with no sign of light. Although the sun was hidden, its heat continued to bombard the Island, melting the earth.


    ***


    On the other side of the barrier¡­


    The army arrived near the cloud barrier, and Aria slashed with her spear at it. A large tear ran throughout the barrier, separating it into two. The army passed through the barrier and immediately felt massive changes between the two parts of the world.


    In White''s world, the sky was bright, and the oceans were filled with vitality. The winds carried a light fragrance and occasionally made chimes as if laughing in mischief. However, beyond the barrier the world was enveloped in darkness. The world had lost its vitality, and the winds had stopped chiming. The two celestial bodies could no longer be seen, yet they could feel the fierce heat covering the world. The earth was melting, and some places had even transformed into lava. However, the most frightening thing was that the Eternal River, which was the symbol of vitality and origin of life, had disappeared!


    The Crystal Titans were stunned as they entered and observed the world. They had never experienced such harsh conditions, where there was almost no sign of water. Aria furrowed her little brows, looking extremely cute. She could sense another existence similar to her Mother; however it was dormant at that time.


    Vritra was meditating when he sensed the incoming army and his nose twitched.


    "I smell water¡­"


    His body flew gently in the dry air towards them. His beard which was the color of melted copper swayed, and his eyes which were piercing as the midday sun stared at the incoming army. When he saw the little girl leading the group while riding the White Winged Elephant he smirked and closed his eyes again. In his eyes, the group was no worth wasting his time.


    Little Aria saw Vritra meditating at a distance. As per Mother''s instructions, it still wasn''t time yet for confrontation. The group silently moved and reached the garden. The garden was still safe for the moment, and Vritra hadn''t made any moves towards this place.


    When the group arrived the two sides introduced each other. They could sense a familiarity in their auras and knew that they shared some origin. Both sides knew that the world was dominated by two dangerous women.


    Little Aria began telling her plans, and some troublemakers could not help but make a ruckus. The three naughty birds screeched as they looked at the little girl in disdain.


    You want us to hand our fates into the hands of this little girl? Keep on dreaming!


    Little Aria frowned and looked at her Senior Brother Garuda. Her Senior Brother nodded at her appreciatively and waved his wings.


    *smack* *smack* *smack*


    Three figures flew in the air and crashed into a faraway tree, damaging it. The tree let out whining noises from its spiritual consciousness as it felt pain. Garuda looked at little Aria with gentle eyes and said. "Continue."


    Even the Sura couples listened attentively as the watched the little girl speak. After explaining her plan, Aria walked deep into the garden and shouted.


    "Senior Soma!"


    With her age, she didn''t have much patience and shouted again and again. With each shout her voice increased, and soon shock-waves began to create. The surrounding trees whined and were amazed. How could such a small figure make such a big noise?


    "I''m here, little one."


    The Soma tree finally had to show itself. It was frightened that if it didn''t show itself this little girl will make all the trees faint. Aria made a happy expression and quickly greeted the senior tree.


    The Soma tree was extremely massive, spanning at least hundreds of meters. It looked like a mango tree, except that instead of mangoes it bore sphere shaped fruits named Soma. It had thick branches, like the pillars of a bridge, and its leaves were jade-like, green and circular shaped, as if they were solar cells.


    Little Aria bowed at the tree and requested sincerely.


    "Senior, I need your fruits to increase my strength to defeat the enveloper of the world!"

 26 FIRST WAR OF THE WORLD

    "Senior, I need your fruits to increase my strength to defeat the enveloper of the world!"


    Aria said with her cute little mouth. The Soma tree was extremely stingy by heart, and it couldn''t help but feel pain after hearing her request. But seeing the determined expression of the little fellow it reluctantly agreed. The branches shook and one by one the fruits fell.


    Each of the Soma fruit had the shape of an orange, with a thin yellow skin similar to a mango. It had a juicy flesh and was extremely fragrant, and eating it would immediately raise the longevity of a person.


    The kid quickly grabbed the fruits and chomped them down. One, Two, Three ¡­ The fruits kept disappearing, and the Soma tree couldn''t help but twitch in sorrow. As Aria consumed the fruits, her body grew at a tremendous rate, as if time was moving forward.


    After twenty fruits, Aria had the appearance of a ten year old kid¡­


    After forty fruits, Aria looked like a fifteen year old kid, starting to mature¡­.


    After sixty fruits, Aria''s body had completely developed, and looked like an eighteen year old woman¡­


    She finally stopped after the eighty-first fruits, when her body had started to be surrounded by rainbow light.


    The Soma tree looked at its empty branches, and couldn''t help but weep in sorrow. He looked at the dark sky and cursed Vritra; after all, this affair started because of him! Of course, he didn''t dare to curse loudly, as it feared that it would provoke the monster, resulting in its death.


    ***


    Meanwhile, outside the garden¡­


    Vritra opened his eyes and felt that the time was right. He''d just finished a part of his plans, and now he had to destroy the plant life in this place. As long as he was careful and didn''t provoke the Creators of the World, his Father and Mothers, he wouldn''t have any problems.


    He started to move towards the garden but stopped as he saw the army walk out. The army was a motley bunch and had no formation. The only signs of order that could be seen were the division of the army into three groups. The first group consisted of the Crystal Titans, and was led by North Cloud who rode the Cloud Thunder Horse. The second group was the Sura, with the males led by One, and females by Violet. The last group was formed by the beasts, and consisted of Garuda, the three fire born birds, the Kun Peng, the Yaksha couple, and Aria with the White Winged Elephant, who was now named Rain Cloud.


    Vritra saw this motley bunch and snickered. Smoke rose from his body and formed identical clones of him. Ten, Fifty, Hundred, Two Hundred¡­ The numbers kept increasing as they reached a thousand in number.


    The motley bunch was shocked, and everywhere their eyes went they could only see their enemy! Aria knew the importance of morale and didn''t give much time to the motley bunch to think much as she shouted from the top of her mount.


    "Charge!"


    Under Aria''s grand momentum, the motley bunch shouted and sprinted forward, eager to hack into the ugly clones. Vritra crossed his arms near his chest and watched his clones make contact and engage with his fellow brothers and sisters. Blood spilled and clouds of dark smoke dispersed into nothingness. Battle intents appeared all over the place, clashing and colliding with each other.


    The Sura and Crystal Titans deserve to be the children of the Creators. Each of their movements were filled with force, and when the stomped the ground it created loud tremors. The clones were a notch weaker than them and couldn''t engage these mighty beings for a long period of time. However, as they were simply a manifestation they didn''t have the fear of death, and would not hesitate to exchange a deadly blow for another one. Thus, many of the Sura and the Crystal Titans found themselves getting wounded in exchange for just a cloud of dark smoke.


    The most vigorous was the army at the front-most which was led by Aria. The Yaksha were the vanguards of the group, and using their mighty bodies they had no problems forcefully creating a path on the battlefield. The three trouble-making birds were the short range damage dealers, who threw their explosive flames all over the place. The clones were not resistant to fire unlike the main body, and immediately blew up on coming into contact with the mighty flames.


    After these two were the Kun Peng and the White Winged Elephant, who was now named Rain Cloud. These two had water attributes and used them to create AOE attacks. The Kun Peng was a mighty creature, with endless strength of a whale and endless speed of an eagle. Each of its attack was very forceful, with endless weight behind it. The ground trembled whenever it made a move, yet the enemy clones could not even catch it with their eyes. It appeared in one place, only to disappear instantly, before appearing somewhere else. Massive clouds of smoke appeared wherever it went, and created a trail, which was a proof of its might. Garuda protected the rear of the group, guarding against the bunch which dared to have any nasty ideas.


    Rain Cloud, on the other hand, simply flew in the air and trumpeted majestically, and the wind and clouds heeded its command. The sky was forced to create clouds, which turned into a dark, ink blue color. Lightning cackled in them, and the smoke which covered the sky tore open bringing forth light once again.


    Vritra furrowed his brows as he stared at Rain Cloud with his eyes which were as piercing as the midday sun. Was this a coincidence? The Wind and Cloud, the one who commands the Wind and Cloud, and the one who rules over the Commander of Wind and Cloud¡­


    Was this really a coincidence? The Will of his Creators?


    Rain fell all over the battlefield, and the clones suddenly became a notch weaker, and the motley bunch found some room for breath. Vritra flew high up in the air, getting ready for the final battle. Aria followed suit and patted Rain Cloud, urging him to fly higher while holding onto her spear.


    The two stared at each other for a while, intending to memorize each other''s faces. In one way, they perhaps felt unwilling as they asked themselves-


    Is this the Will of their Creators?


    Vritra shook his hands lightly, transforming them into dragon-like claws. The claws were extremely sharp and smoke was expelled from its tips. At the same time Aria lifted her spear and lightning suddenly flew from four directions from the clouds, and became absorbed into it. The spear seemed to be transformed as lightning occasionally swam over its surface. It was really a cool weapon!


    With their weapons ready, it was time for the final battle!

 27 END OF THE BATTLE

    The two heroes floated in the air while facing each other. Vritra brandished his dragon-like claws and took a stance in the air. The claws were as dark as night, and their sharpness was terrifying. Smoke came out from their tips, which would absorb the vitality of the surroundings.


    Aria on the other hand held her spear with her two hands. The spear, which was formed from the foam of the bathing water of White, was glass-like and would occasionally be covered in lightning.


    The figures raised their claws and spear, and probed each other with long range attacks first. Lines of energy flew and tore the sky asunder, adding wounds to the world. The White Winged Elephant, Rain Cloud, did not disappoint its name as it moved from place to place quickly, dodging the deadly attacks thrown by Vritra.


    After a round of probing perhaps the two couldn''t hold in and approached each other. Aria jumped from the back of Rain Cloud and neared her enemy. The claws and the spear collided, and fists and kicks hit each other. Each hit would create a bang and each collision of the claws and spear created sparks. The laws surrounding them occasionally fractured as the world around them distorted, betraying the preset laws of the world.


    The two fought high up in the air, and their fights did not affect much the other fights which took place on the land. The clones had been weakened by the rain, and slowly started losing their upper hand. Their numbers decreased as time passed, and they started losing their morale. The motley bunch on the other hand felt relaxed under the rain which brought vitality to them. With the fear the Drought disappearing, they felt renewed strength as they tried to overcome this Adversity. The battle lasted for a hundred days, and not one of the clones remained.


    Up above the army, the battle had reached a climax. A battle between Drought and Adversity versus Rain and Prosperity, the verdict was finally about to come. After fighting for almost hundred days Vritra was shocked by the tenacity displayed by the young lass and felt confused. He was innately strong, and after kidnapping the Eternal River, the vitality of the world had disappeared. However the young lass showed no signs of fatigue or stopping, and neither did her vitality weaken.


    He didn''t know that the little Aria had eaten eighty-one Soma fruits, each of which was filled with endless vitality. After eating so many treasures, it wouldn''t be a surprise if she could last a hundred more days. Vritra regretted allowing the lass to enter the garden. He was sure that she''d obtained some aid which made her strength increase and her vitality soar, turning from a little brat to a grown up woman.


    Aria concentrated on her spear using her spiritual consciousness, and lightning enveloped its body. Vritra readied his claws, which had chipped and tattered beyond salvation. Many parts of its body had been charred by lightning strikes from the spear, and he couldn''t help but sigh when his clones were completely defeated and the land was filled with vitality from the rain.


    Aria clenched her hand over the spear, and threw the spear after gathering her strength. The spear flew extremely fast; in fact as fast as the lightning which would fall from the heavens, and struck the body of the enemy.


    Vritra lost his strength and collapsed from the air as he couldn''t flow anymore. His massive body fell, with his long beard the color of melted copper swaying while pointing the sky. Below the two a sphere of smoke floated, in which the Eternal River was held captive. The body which was falling down crashed into it, and the sphere of smoke broke open.


    The Eternal River, now free, quickly ran away and retraced the route in which it flew before. Its water body was filled with waves as it showed joy for its freedom. With the river present once more, the world regained its vitality. The sun was enveloped in a bubble of water once more, and could no longer was as domineering as before. The white layered rainbow shined brightly once again, and made waves of contraction and expansion, as if dancing in joy. On the ground, the motley bunch cheered as they watched the celestial bodies in the sky return to their previous states. Although they had many light and heavy wounds, they didn''t care as long as they had their commander, who was extremely talented in extorting the four First Born plants.


    At this moment the word ''Authority'' in the middle of the Island twinkled for a few times and the barrier enveloping Param disappeared. He opened his eyes as he glanced at his body and nodded in satisfaction. He''d spent all this time in rebuilding his body, and had no idea about the recent events. So when he looked around and saw the burnt Island he was shocked.


    Being the master of the world he just had to will the world and he''d immediately know about the recent events. As the information flowed in his expression underwent a myriad of changes and colors. Even with his level of strength he couldn''t help but develop a migraine and he massaged his forehead.


    When he was on Earth, he''d many times heard of the trouble the children made when they were left alone. At most, the biggest trouble kids could make was to burn down the whole house. But his children¡­


    His children have burnt a half of the world!


    He looked down and could even see his face on the glass formed on the ground. Just how high temperature was it bombarded with?! The ground was filled with lumps of cooled lava which had formed curved, smooth rocks. He felt like tying this bunch of kids to a tree and giving them a good thrashing!


    Finally he controlled his anger and went to the ''battlefield''. Using the Will of the World he again saw the scenes which took place in these hundred days. The kids saw their Father and exclaimed joyfully as they lined up with a smile on their faces. The most sensible of them was Aria, who held the dead body of Vritra and stood up at the front.


    Param saw the dumb smiles on the faces of the kids behind the young girl and felt like giving them a tight slap. Alas, it wasn''t actually their fault, and the troublemaker had already received his punishment. He sighed again, and could only think of one word in his heart.


    Troublemakers!

 28 YIN APPEARS!

    Perhaps coincidentally, Gaia had finished her session of meditation at the same time as Param came out of the barrier. However after using the Will of the World to examine the situation outside she didn''t dare to go out as she was afraid to meet an angry Param. Being a couple it was a frequent occurrence to be scolded for unjust reasons. A calm Param was easy to bully, but an angry Param was extremely frightening!


    Thus, a certain person notorious for bullying hid quietly underground.


    ***


    Param saw the dumb smiles on the faces of the kids behind the young girl and felt like giving them a tight slap. Alas, it wasn''t actually their fault, and the troublemaker had already received his punishment. He sighed again, and could only think of one word in his heart.


    Troublemakers!


    He saw them expecting a reply, but he didn''t know what to say.


    ''Good job for beating your brother to death?''


    Or ''Well done! You are the heroes of this world!''


    He sighed again, and said with a tired expression. "Kids, don''t create trouble, okay?"


    The kids were shocked after hearing this. They recalled their memories and remembered how they fought for their survival, and to save the world. Somehow the pain they felt in their heart was more compared to the pain caused by the wounds. At this moment they could only think of one line-


    Father is too unreliable!


    Param held the dead body of Vritra and looked at the mature form of Aria. She, being created from White''s body, was extremely similar to her, and looked like a little version of White.


    "Good job!" he praised her. After all, how could he disappoint his little girl?


    Aria giggled happily after receiving his praise and looked at the others smugly. Look, I am Father''s favorite!


    Alas, her happiness didn''t last long as told her. "Aria, get all your siblings and clean the Island."


    Huh?


    Little Aria didn''t imagine she''d have to clean house after doing a straining job. Behind her, the Sura, the Crystal Titans, and Garuda all nodded their heads as if saying: As expected of Father!


    Aria sulked but didn''t dare to disobey her Father and got to work with the others. They leveled the Island and fixed the defects which had been created by the high temperature. The Island itself was special and it didn''t take long for it to restore to its previous state. Soon its sand once again was glistening like a high quality material, and filled with pleasant fragrance.


    While the kids toiled without any rewards in the background, Param first collected the Vritra''s soul and kept it separate with him. He''d other plans for this brat. Then he raised his head upwards and looked at the two celestial bodies in the air. It was finally time to tackle the problem of the Will of the World!


    He gently floated upwards and reached the white-layered rainbow. He caressed its rings and spoke softly.


    "Let me place you where you truly belong."


    His arm shone as an illusory hand appeared next to the rainbow. The illusory hand was extremely similar to his, like a projection. The illusory hand grabbed the large rainbow and pulled it. Param flew towards the cloud barrier and dragged the rainbow behind him. The kids looked up and exclaimed in amazement as they saw this. Although Aria and Vritra were powerful, even they weren''t strong enough to damage these two celestial bodies. The kids made ''oh'' and ''ah'' expressions, and hurriedly went back to work when Param turned his head towards them. He reached the cloud barrier and simply snorted. The cloud barrier twisted around a point and collapsed, creating a massive void. Param kept dragging the rainbow and the rainbow occasionally expanded and contracted, as if complaining to him.


    Soon they reached the White Palace, and Param placed the white-layered rainbow some distance above it. The Eternal River had been cut off because of the barrier, and could no longer flow. Param immediately met White and explained the plan. He returned with her, and White slashed at her forearm. A stream of multicolored blood flowed and floated in the air. Soon the wound on her forearm disappeared, and archaic characters were shot out, which disappeared in the blood. The blood then shot at the center of the rainbow, towards the small dot of red light. This red light was different from the red ring of the rainbow, as it was the most pure essence of the rainbow, which was named Yin.


    As the blood merged with the red dot of light, it transformed into a humanoid figure. The being formed looked like a five year old kid, with white hair. The kid wore long white robes with a design of a white colored circular rainbow, and his entire figure looked otherworldly, as if untainted by all trivial things. Its eyes were similarly white-blue like White, and had a gentle smile on its face.


    As he opened his eyes, a gentle and serene aura spread throughout, and Param felt surprised as he felt some similarity to the spiritual energy which he used. This child, which was the physical form of rainbow, named Yin, saw the two and quickly greeted them. White hugged Yin and swirled him as she rotated around her foot. Yin laughed as he moved quickly in a circle. Even the unborn child within her exclaimed in joy when it sensed Yin.


    A little while later, White saw the expectant eyes of Param which said ''Hand me the brat over'', and she reluctantly handed the child over.


    Param held the kid and looked at him up and down. As both of the celestial bodies were created by him they contained a trace of his aura. Combined with White''s essence, Yin was the closest being to their blood child. He tickled the brat, making him laugh until he couldn''t bear it. After this game Param suddenly tossed the brat in the air after he remembered similar games which were played by parents on Earth. However he threw the kid a little too high and little Yin''s forehead became wet with sweat. Fortunately Param caught him perfectly, and White pinched his shoulder for his carelessness.


    Little Yin saw his Father screaming in pain as his Mother punished him, and he could only think of one line-


    Father is too unreliable!

 29 YANG APPEARS, AND THE TWO WOMEN MEE

    Yin glanced at his Father secretly as he thought: Father is too unreliable!


    As if reading his thoughts, Param turned his head to look at him, only to catch him turning his head and wiping his forehead. His heart felt a twinge of pain and he couldn''t help but ask White.


    "Do I look so unreliable?"


    White laughed and used her sleeves to hide her wide mouth. Finally she couldn''t bear to see the sad face of her lover and decided an answer. "No."


    The single word was like an amnesty to Param, and he immediately hugged her. "Ay~ only you understand me the best!"


    White saw little Yin staring at them and giving her a thumbs up and became embarrassed. She quickly pushed the young man who was hugging her and whose breathing was slowly turning hotter and deeper.


    As Param was pushed away, little Yin came near him and patted his thigh. He actually wanted to pat his back, but he could only reach his thigh.


    "Don''t worry Father! Try harder next time!"


    Param''s face twitched as he glanced at the brat who was just born. Just born and trying to teach your Father? He forcefully placed his large palm over the brat''s head and caressed it while showing a crooked smile, making his hair messy.


    After entertaining his unborn child in White''s womb and flirting with her a little he went back to the Island. After he''d left Gaia came out after knowing that Param wasn''t much angry. He again saw her on the same stone chair sitting lazily while being massaged by the Sura girls. He couldn''t help but think: Won''t her muscles turn into a pulp after being massaged so much?


    He landed near the lazy fellow and pulled her up. Gaia was scared and thought that he would blame her for not paying attention to the kids. He dragged her towards the sun and explained his plan. After realizing this was another matter she secretly sighed in relief and listened carefully.


    They made preparations and started their operations. Param waved his hand, and the bubble around the sun disappeared, with the water bypassing through the sun. It shrank a little in size, and the red spot at its center expanded. Gaia similarly cut open her forearm and guided her blood in the air. As he wound healed, the archaic characters which she''d prepared shot into them and combined. The blood then merged into the red spot, and formed a humanoid figure. The humanoid figure gradually turned clearer, taking the shape of a five year old little girl.


    The girl had beautiful phoenix eyes and sword like eyebrows. Her black hair was extremely glossy and soft, and their length had different levels, making her more beautiful. Her skin was tanned and she wore long red robes, which had designs of the blazing sun. Her face was stern and it showed her determined and fierce nature. Although she was just a little girl, one wouldn''t be able to take their eyes off her.


    She opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw in the world was the couple, who was staring at her with complicated expressions. There was joy, surprise, care, and worry, and it melted her stern face and made a smile appear. When Param saw the smile he found it similar to Gaia.


    "You child!"


    Gaia appeared in front of her in a flash and furiously pinched her cheeks. The little girl, now the physical form of Yang, helplessly glanced at her Father and pleaded for help with her eyes.


    How could her kindhearted Father bear her gaze? He immediately tried to shoo away Gaia who was too engrossed in pinching her cheeks.


    "Stop! You''ll tear away her soft cheeks!"


    He grabbed the little girl and created a distance from the cheek-pinching demon. Gaia sheepishly laughed and tried to coax little Yang again, but unfortunately couldn''t succeed.


    At this moment a sound was heard in their spiritual consciousness.


    "She is really strong!"


    The three were surprised at first and exclaimed moments later when they found the source of the transmission. The one who spoke was actually Gaia''s unborn child! They tried to communicate with it further but the brat didn''t seemed to be interested in talking further.


    Gaia sulked and went out as little Yang familiarized herself. Param activated a new set of archaic characters and created multiple dozens of formations. Gaia revealed a look of surprise as she saw them and asked.


    "Doesn''t these archaic characters related to the phenomenon of space?"


    Param nodded in affirmation as he casually explained his understandings about space. Previously with his innate talent he could still perform spatial manipulations, albeit forcefully. However he avoided doing so as there was no need for it, and he didn''t knew what to do if some problems occurred.


    The archaic characters seemed to make some manipulations outside the three dimensions, and the Will of the World seemed to be undergoing various changes. Suddenly the cloud barrier fluctuated and suddenly dispersed, and the Will of the World became one once again!


    Param wiped his forehead as he finished dealing with a major headache. Suddenly he thought about something. Now that the world has united once again, won''t the two women meet each other? After they see his ''deeds'' will they fight? Or will they team up to bash him?


    He sweated profusely as he thought of this. Using his vast spiritual sense, he secretly spied on the two women.


    ***


    As the two worlds became one once again, the parts of the Will of the World under their influence no longer clashed. Sensing this White and Gaia flew towards the place where the barrier previously existed. The two women met and stared at each other for a while. Coincidentally the two opened their mouths at the same time and spoke.


    "I''m White, the first wife!"


    "I''m Gaia, the first wife!"


    The two narrowed their eyes and gave a smile which was not a smile. Far away, Param who was using his spiritual sense to spy groaned after seeing this.


    "F*ck! Another headache!"

 30 THE RAIN QUEEN

    White and Gaia narrowed their eyes and gave a smile which was not a smile. Suddenly they waved their hands and a barrier was formed, disabling Param''s spiritual sense from entering. Actually, if he wanted, he could forcefully penetrate his spiritual sense inside, but he would never dare to do something like that as it would invade the women''s privacy.


    While the women were talking, Param decided to go for a big renovation. He floated above the ocean and grabbed a large quantity of ocean water. The volume of the water was very large, almost sixty-four times the volume of water present in the Eternal River. However, even though Param extracted such a large amount the ocean remained unfazed and there didn''t seem to be any changes in its water level. The water went through a series of refinements and its quantity decreased by sixteen times. The water turned a shade of blue, and became crystal clear and more viscous and heavy.


    Param shot hundreds of archaic characters into it so that it would perform according to his plans. With time, his mastery over the archaic characters was reaching a new phase, and he was able to create specific instructions according to the needed tasks. He then proceeded to combine the new water into the Eternal River, and the thickness of the river increased. As the distance between the sun and the white layered rainbow had increased, the stream of river had thinned tremendously. After adding the new water in the Eternal River the waterfall below the sun grew larger, and the might of the waterfall seemed unrivaled.


    As to how the Eternal River crossed the ocean? The river actually never crossed the ocean, as Param moved the White Palace, along with the surroundings made of crystallized water near the Island, forming a single, massive Island. The Island now was ten times its previous size, including the borders of the crystallized water.


    Param had planned for the long run, when he would perfect the reincarnation cycle system and give birth to multiple sub-worlds and races. Although his efforts seemed crude for now, they were small steps towards something big!


    He activated his spiritual sense and informed the Yin and Yang brats about his plans, and gave them some specific instructions. The two kids were smart and vaguely understood his intentions, and hurried to complete them.


    ***


    The size of the rainbow had increased by multiple times with the increase in water in the Eternal River. At the center of the rainbow, Little Yin sat in a lotus position in his white robe and meditated according to his Father''s instructions. From his body, seven archaic characters floated and revolved around him like goldfishes. He pointed towards the rainbow, and the seven archaic characters shot like a bullet, with each archaic character hitting a colored ring.


    The seven rings detached themselves from the white layered rainbow, leaving only the white layer behind. The rings condensed into humanoid shapes, gradually forming seven figures. The seven were all girls, with each of them their own version of beauty. Alas, these beauties were only five year old, the same age as Yin brat.


    These would be the future pillars of the Rainbow Palace, who would shake the mortal worlds!


    ***


    On the surface of the sun, little Yang sat in meditation and contemplated on the instructions given by her Father. She couldn''t help but exclaim how brilliant her Father''s idea was. Her Father intended to create a new domain using her and Yin''s powers!


    She manipulated the sun''s core, and it expelled flames onto the bubble of water enveloping it. The water on the surface of the bubble boiled and created steam. The steam gathered in the air, inside the circle formed by the Eternal River in the sky, and formed clouds.


    Param who was supervising the project signaled the Crystal Titans and Aria, and they flew into the clouds and used their archaic characters to condense the clouds into crystals. Under the guidance of Aria, the sky of clouds slowly changed, forming a palace.


    The construction went on for almost a month, and finally a Royal Palace appeared. The gate of the Royal Palace was broad and massive, and at its top a character was specially engraved by Param, signifying the name and origin of the Palace.


    ''Rain''


    The inside of the palace was fairly simple, and Param assumed that the kids would later decorate it according to their tastes. After the palace was constructed Param unleashed an archaic character at the entire palace, and the palace turned illusory.


    The group of kids were shocked and thought that their Father had messed up, but later they realized that he''d actually moved the palace into an alternate dimension! Understanding this they saw him with shining eyes, and Param almost shed tears of joy.


    Look at this! Your Father is not unreliable!


    The two women seemed to have discussed something, and had finally concluded that White was the older, ''First Wife'' while Gaia was the younger, ''Second Wife''. Be it young or old, Param was relieved that these two had peacefully solved their problems.


    The coronation ceremony was grand, and the young Aria was crowned as the Rain Queen, the one who commands rain, wind and clouds! At her disposal were Yin and Yang, the two main leaders of the court. As the palace needed attendants, the Crystal Titans awakened the consciousness within the clouds, forming a new species called as Apsaras.


    These Apsaras were water spirits, and their natures were similar to water. They were cheerful, bubbly and didn''t like to be restrained. However, these Apsaras weren''t the first born. In fact, before these Apsaras were born, Param had already awakened the Eternal River''s consciousness when the palace was being constructed. The physical form of Eternal River, which Param affectionately called The Eternal Brat, shared similarities with White as she came from the same origin. However, her hair and eyes were light blue, and her curvaceous teenage body shared many similarities with White. When Param first saw her he couldn''t help but feel shocked and think:


    Why every one of the kids was so darn good looking?


    Unlike the other kids, Eternal already was a teenager since the moment she took physical form and was a big help for the three parents in disciplining them. The Sura and the Crystal Titans were now under the Rain Queen, and was the mightiest (and only) army in the world.


    With another problem solved, Param opened a sheet and laid his eyes on the next project ¨C The Afterlife!

 31 PARAM DISCIPLINES

    Actually, this wasn''t the first time he''d plans about the Afterlife. However, it had many prerequisites to it. Before creating the Afterlife Realm, he first had to create a basis with which the mortal souls would be compared to and treated accordingly. Life was extremely complicated, with decisions made every second.


    Where to look, what to talk, what to show, and what to hide¡­


    When to act, when to react, when to ignore, and when to stay silent¡­


    Being cruel, being gentle, being filial, and being ambitious¡­


    With such a complex life, how can they be judged by simple concepts of heaven and hell?


    This was an extremely sensitive and debatable topic, and one could hardly find any answers for it. Let''s take an example:


    A young man rapes a woman who was returning home.


    Was the man wrong for not being able to control his urges and for being extremely insensitive? Or were his parents wrong for not disciplining him more properly?


    Was the woman wrong for not being careful, not wearing conservative clothing and not learning self-defense? Or was she just unfortunate?


    Were the police officers and the people living in the neighborhood wrong for not paying attention or showing courage? Or they were trying their best and still couldn''t help?


    Was the government wrong for not creating proper measures against these events? But weren''t the rulers of the government chosen from the same common people?


    Or was the one who created them all wrong?


    Param had pondered for a long time over this, and realized that there was no good or bad, right or wrong. These were just temporary states of mortals.


    One moment happy, one moment sad; one moment in pain, another moment relieved.


    People, Fortune, Glory, Blessings¡­ All of them were fleeting, only for them to merge with his Supreme Soul after death!


    In consideration of this, he decided to create a system based on the concept of Karma. One would accumulate Karma, and this would decide their treatment in the Afterlife. The Afterlife would be a temporary stop for them, after which they would again be reincarnated.


    Near the center of the Island where the Authority Pillar first stood, Param created a large facility for his next projects. Although he''d renovated the Island, he didn''t pay attention to properly build structures as he would have to again make some changes on it.


    Using the concepts of formations, logic circuits and Will of the world, Param build a massive cuboid pillar. This pillar could detect every individual in the world and calculate their Karma.


    What was Karma?


    It was the action done in favor of or against the development of the individual person and/or the whole world.


    What did that mean?


    Simply put, every action by a mortal had its effects on him as well as the world, and could bring an increment or decrement in progress of the entire world. Thus, the best Karma would be something which would bring progress to both the individual and the world. After them was progress of at least one, the individual or the world. The last would be the neutral action that wouldn''t bring progress, but at least wouldn''t detriment the world''s progress.


    Using his ''Truth'' gaze, he could see billions of strands emanating from the pillar and penetrating from the void. However, as the residents of the world were not mortals and were free from the Karmic bonds, thus the pillar which calculated Karma, named as the Karma Management System, was sitting idle.


    With the problem of Karma solved, Param wiped his non-existent sweat and looked at the machine in satisfaction. The two beauties arrived and saw this work and praised him for his idea. Suddenly two more voices entered the scene and talked with each other, making Param dumbfounded.


    "Isn''t this amazing? Father is really great!" the first voice which sounded like a girl said.


    "It cannot increase strength." A second male voice made a strong point.


    "Can''t you think of anything other than fighting?" the voice of the girl scolded.


    "¡­" the second voice didn''t dare to talk back after being scolded and remained silent.


    The two women smirked as they heard the unborn kids'' quarrel. They turned to Param and told him some trivial things, and they discussed some plans to further develop their world. As they discussed, they understood many problems which they''d previously not noticed. Finally the three looked at each other, and Gaia said.


    "The most urgent thing this world needs is Wisdom!"


    But where to find this ''Wisdom''?


    Param looked at the two. If he was asked which the best porn site was or how to illegally download video games, he''d immediately be able to tell them. But when it came to stuff like ''Wisdom'', he could only answer such¡­


    Wisdom? What the hell is that? Can it be eaten?


    If the two women had read his thoughts, they''d definitely have beaten him up by forming a tag-team!


    Finally the Always-Dependable, All-Mother White told a solution.


    "The Authority Pillar is a source of strength, but we won''t find answers there. Similar is the world. As it bends according to our Will, searching for answers outside is completely useless. So the only solution is to find answers within oneself!"


    White said as she pointed at the center of her chest. Param''s eyes were guided at her chest by this gesture and stayed there, unwilling to part. The soft and bouncy twins were inviting and his body started to become aroused.


    Suddenly a hand arrived and flicked his forehead hard.


    "Concentrate!" Gaia said as she looked at him with disdain. Looking at her face Param became irritated.


    Damn woman, always bossing him around! He decided to teach her a lesson and bent her at her waist.


    *SMACK*


    A crisp noise sounded as Param hit her well-shaped and curvy bottom.


    "You need to be disciplined!" Param yelled as he continued with his punishment. With each smack he felt more excitement and his eyes twinkled more and more.


    Gaia could actually free herself long ago, but didn''t do so as this was just an intimate banter. Thus, she could only beg for mercy and shouted.


    "I''m sorry, Husband!!!"


    However the husband was in no mood to listen to her pleas and instead was concentrating on her youthful bottom. As soon as his hit arrived, the soft and bouncy bottom would wiggle seductively, as if saying ''Naughty boy, hit me more!''


    At first White laughed and ignored her sister wife. But as time passed, her husband didn''t seem to stop and she finally decided to step in. After all, as the First Wife, she had the highest status in their family.


    "Param-"


    Before she could speak further Param raised his head and stared at her with bloodshot eyes filled with lust and spoke with a grave voice.


    "It seems that you also need some disciplining."


    White''s face immediately became pale.


    For a few days, seductive moans and panting sounds were heard around this place.

 32 YOURS TRULY IS BORN!

    Param who now had a pale face was meditating furiously. After a long and intense fight, his beloved two had nearly sucked him out of all energy. However, the main reason he didn''t dare to open his eyes or use his spiritual sense on the Island was that he feared he''d find some more brats looking at him with shining eyes and screaming ''Father!'' to him.


    Beside him, the two fairy-like maidens slept peacefully after winning the fight and having their revenge.


    Lust is truly a dangerous thing!


    ***


    Going a little backwards¡­


    As the Creators were concentrating on their Union, energies and intents leaked from their deeds. These unguided energies seemed to have no thoughts of dispersing, and they searched for some place to gather.


    Soon they found a nice piece of rock, which was a piece formed by lava. It was cooled from the outside and trapped the heat present inside from leaving. So although it looked like a cool rock, hot lava still existed deep inside.


    The energies and intents created by the Union rushed inside the lava rock, and the heat which was created by the powerful sun immediately purified them. With impurities gone, the random and scattered intents formed a spiritual consciousness, and the lava rock turned into a womb for the new creature.


    A fragment silently broke from the Supreme Self inside Param, and unknown to him, merged with the newly formed creature. With the help of the vast power in it, the womb burst open to reveal a young creature.


    The creature looked like a beast, with four legs, horns and large canines. It had a dragon-like face and golden eyes, and its body had the characteristics of both bull and tiger. It had a white body with golden stripes, and looked quite fierce. However, the most striking thing was the subtle lines all over its body, which occasionally showed hot fire underneath his skin.


    "ROOOAAARRRR!"


    As soon as it was born it tried to show its dominance by roaring out loud and announcing to the world.


    Guys, Yours Truly is born!


    The newborn was quite vigorous, and as soon as it was born it started rampaging and destroying the terrain. The trees had their own consciousness and scolded this rowdy fellow.


    "Hey! Why did you throw that Spiritual Berry tree? Are you crazy?"


    "If you make trouble we won''t show you mercy!"


    "Indeed! This junior is too unruly. Should we complain to the Guardian?"


    The newborn creature, who we''ll call the Bull-Tiger for convenience, became angry at being challenged by the tree spirits and felt provoked. It stomped its foot, and the earth fractured. The remnants of the energy hit the surrounding trees and they wailed in pain.


    "Aaaahhhh!"


    With a few casual kicks and clawing motions, the Bull-Tiger quickly showed the puny trees who the boss is!


    However, his actions didn''t go unnoticed by others, and they quickly complained to the Guardians of the Forest, which were the First Born plants.


    The one with the strongest offensive power, the bamboo tree quickly arrived by sprinting and met the troublemaker. The Bull-Tiger similarly saw the Bamboo plant and saw it as a competition and made a clawing motion like a tiger with its front claws.


    The Bamboo plant used its body as a spear and tried to penetrate his opponent''s body. However the young Bull-Tiger was very thick-skinned and the Bamboo plant''s attack failed. The Bull-Tiger grabbed this opportunity and moved his head violently, stabbing the Bamboo using his sharp horns. The Bamboo plant flew away and crashed over other trees and the Bull-Tiger while laughing with his head looking up in the sky.


    The Bull-Tiger looked at the scared trees and snorted in disdain. Just a bunch of weaklings!


    His eyes fell on the clouds floating in the sky, and his vision penetrated them, spotting the Rain Palace hiding in the independent space. He became excited and with a leap his body flew in the air, shooting into the clouds. The space fractured and he easily reached the space in which the Rain Palace existed.


    The arrived of the new creature startled the innocent and dainty Apsaras and they glanced at him with curious eyes. The Bull-Tiger, now under attention couldn''t help but glance at their slender waists and plentiful bosoms, and felt the desire to properly strengthen his relationship with his new ''friends''.


    With this desire, his form changed into a humanoid one, with a muscular back and extremely strong limbs. His horns shrunk yet still hung over his forehead, giving him a cool look.


    Seeing his handsome look the na?ve Apsaras couldn''t help but go ''Kyaa~'' over him. The Bull-Tiger maintained a polite look as he talked, yet his eyes roaming all over them, and his gaze was so piercing they almost saw through their clothes.


    A Crystal Titan couple which was ''off-duty'' was roaming around watching the scenery when they spotted the newborn Bull-Tiger. The Bull-Tiger casually glanced at the female Crystal Titan and his gaze became heated.


    He walked near them and blocked the couple''s way like a local gangster. If Param saw this, he would definitely think that this was some reincarnated hoodlum from Earth.


    The Crystal Titan male didn''t like the Bull-Tiger looking at his partner lecherously but he still asked in a polite manner.


    "Do you need some help?"


    The Bull-Tiger who''d already imagined the Crystal Titan female naked in his mind got irritated at him and attacked.


    "Scram!"


    With a sudden heavy kick, the male Crystal Titan flew backwards for a few meters before stopping. The innocent Apsaras with low H.P. and LVL screamed and ran away after seeing the Bull-Tiger''s cruelty.


    Seeing her lover attacked mercilessly the female Crystal Titan became angry and immediately clawed at him. After the First War of the World, these kids were no longer amateurs and had started developing their killing intents.


    The claw attack was vicious and carried tremendous energy behind it. As it struck the Bull-Tiger, the fellow flew in the air and crashed into a lava rock. The lava rock burst open and lava flew out, yet the hot lava only felt like basking in the morning sunlight to him.


    He stood up and arrogantly rubbed the trail of blood flowing out of the corner of his lips and looked at her.


    "That was free!"


    The female Crystal Titan who was helping her partner saw this and her heart froze for a moment. She knew how much power her attack had.


    The person who''d attacked her partner stood up and smirked at her while staring.


    "My turn!"

 33 ANOTHER TROUBLESOME BRAT!

    "My turn!"


    Suddenly the Bull-Tiger''s body flashed and within a blink of an eye arrived in front of the Crystal Titan couple and punched. The male quickly made a cross with his forearms to defend, and the punch made contact. The man''s bones immediately broke and his body flew.


    "West Cloud!" the woman named West Tide shouted. Of course, the Bull-Tiger didn''t give her a chance and quickly threw a kick towards her. Hit with the kick, West Tide flew in the air while spurting blood.


    The Bull-Tiger snorted in disdain towards the two and traveled towards the entrance of the palace.


    The road to the palace was filled with many Apsaras who worked as maids or entertainers in the palace. The newborn brat''s eyes stared here and there and almost rolled all over in their eye sockets. The Apsaras being naive and flirty didn''t find him offensive and simply giggled, and some bolder ones even blinked an eye at him.


    However, their behavior emboldened the brat and his lecherous hand shot towards an Apsara which looked like a teenage girl and groped her butt.


    "Kyyyaaaaa~~~"


    The young Apsara screamed in fright and retreated from her assaulter. But her actions only excited the brat more and he held her hand. The other Apsaras tried to attack but their feeble strength was no match for the Bull-Tiger.


    Thankfully their noise attracted the attention of the Sura training outside the palace in the field and they quickly came to check the cause of their noise. When they saw the Bull-Tiger harassing the frail Apsara they grew angry.


    "Leave her!"


    They quickly surrounded him, and the scene looked extremely drama-like: A villain holding a beauty while being surrounded by righteous heroes! Alas, these heroes only had the guts but not the strength.


    The hot fire inside the Bull-Tiger surged and he spat out flames like a flamethrower. The Sura many times practiced with the three fire bird brats, so they were familiar with intense flames and quickly retreated.


    Although the Bull-Tiger''s fire wasn''t a match for the three fire bird''s fire, it still held intense head and immediately melted the ground. The ground was formed of crystallized clouds and they vaporized in the air, creating a large hole in the ground.


    Seeing this, the Sura took a deep breath and unleashed their battle intents, showing that they''ve truly become serious. Now this wasn''t just a casual case of harassment, but a major conflict!


    Sensing their killing intent the Bull-Tiger became provoked and allowed the tear-faced Apsara to leave and concentrated on his new opponents.


    The frail Apsara who looked like a teenage girl quickly dashed away as soon as she got the chance. Finally when she felt safe after she traveled past the encirclement of the Sura, she stared at the Bull-Tiger angrily. Remembering how this lecherous person had touched, fondled and caressed her butt she got more and more angry and threatened him.


    "You vile beast! Look how Senior Sister Eternal will punish you after I tell on you!"


    One thing worth noting was that finally we could see some improvements in the quality of curses!


    The Bull-Tiger didn''t pay her any attention. To him, she was just a casual flower on the road; if he liked it, he liked it, he smelled it, if he like it more, he smelled it, but if he didn''t like it, he didn''t pay it any attention.


    When the Apsara who looked like a teenage girl scolded him, he actually became happier and even started fantasizing that this ''Senior Sister Eternal'' would be more beautiful than this young girl, with such and such waist and such and such butt...


    Seeing him distracted for a moment, one of the Sura named Three attacked. The blade made of battle intent cut the air and almost reached the Bull-Tiger. Sensing the attack, the Bull-Tiger cursed himself for getting distracted and quickly raised his hand to defend.


    The battle intent dug into the Bull-Tiger''s hands but stopped after an inch. While the Sura was astonished, this was the first time the Bull-Tiger had such a serious injury and he shouted in rage and threw a punch.


    The punch arrived quickly and none of the Sura could even see the trajectory of the attack. The punch hit the Sura named Three, and a large protrusion was created over his back. The punch had almost pierced through him!


    The Sura flew in a parabolic path in the air for many meters and a trail of blood formed in the air- a proof that a man indeed flew in the vast sky!


    The Sura were battle hardened and quickly encircled their opponent and attacked. The battle intents were sharp but they were unable to cause any fatal injury to the Bull-Tiger. As the fight got longer, the Bull-Tiger grew more and more irritated.


    He gave a loud shout and caught a battle intent which was being hacked towards him. The battle intent cut the skin between the forefinger and the thumb but couldn''t penetrate further. Clenching his hand the Bull-Tiger showed his ferociousness and shattered the battle intent!


    The Sura whose battle intent was destroyed was struck dumb and couldn''t respond when a punch landed on his face. His face was almost crushed and he flew sideways. His body bounced in ungraceful ways twice and he finally stopped near someone''s feet.


    With difficulty he opened his still working eye and saw a pair of slender, unblemished and attractive feet, and assumed that it must be an Apsara. Although he had seen his partner Blue''s feet many times he still couldn''t help but feel attracted to this unknown Apsara''s pair of feet.


    He fought with the pain and raised his head. No matter what, he must glance at this Apsara or his heart won''t feel settled. The moment his vision fell on the person''s face and he almost got a heart attack.


    It was the Junior Sister Eternal!


    Everyone knew that their Father held much affection for this Junior Sister who was the Eldest Apsara, so even though she was a junior, no one dared to find faults with her.


    He quickly lowered his head and cursed himself a few times. He could still live his life even if he provoked his partner Blue. But if he tried to cross the Rain Queen, then he can only embrace Father and merge his soul with him!


    The Eldest Apsara quickly asked him the details of the incident. Together with what she''d heard from the other Apsaras, she quickly understood the situation.


    She looked at the newborn Bull-Tiger who was fighting with passion and smiled when she thought how her Father would react.


    First he would give a long sigh.


    Then he would rub his forehead furiously for a little while.


    Then, at last, he would say in a frustrated voice:


    "Another troublesome brat!"
