The realms.

It took a little bit of convincing, to calm his mother's mind on the idea of him going to the woods but he had to tell her, he didn't want her worrying like yesterday…

'Alright, this is where the chase ended, but what do I do now…", he knew he should have asked the voice where exactly to meet up, he wondered what made him listen to the voice in the first place, was he compelled?, no he wasn't, he was just curious and eager to understand what was going on, he felt some changes within him but he didn't understand anything as of now so he wanted to see what the voice could tell him but now it seemed like he wouldn't even get to where he was supposed to go in the first place. As he was worried and thinking of what he could do, he felt a tug on his clothes and he looked to the side wandering what it was that just pulled his clothes but he couldn't see anything, *follow what you see in front of you*, he heard a voice in his head again but not the one of the two he spoke to previously, this sounded gentler and then he realized that the tug was pulling at his clothes, it was pulling at his body, but he couldn't imagine it as that so he interpreted it otherwise. He chose to listen to the voice, even though it was a different one, he had no idea what was going on but he was very curious, extremely so, and as walked along the path the tug pulled pointed him to, he noticed a change, it was almost like the air was getting cleaner and the trees and bushes and flowers were getting more vibrant in color, then all of a sudden he realized he had arrived at a different place entirely, it was an unexplainable situation, it was a grassland with different trees spread all across it, he even noticed the reflection of light from some places which suggested the presence of lakes all around, all in all, it was a beautiful place that seemed to come from within a painting, it had a very pure and positive feeling that seemed to transcend the concept of nature itself, no he had an instinctual feeling that this was nature, in it's best state, it gave of the feeling of transcendence, what they called Nature outside was just an insignificant backdrop to the wonders of this place, he was mesmerized by the sight and was spellbound by it…

"Ehem "

A voice rang out suddenly during his state of mesmerization, it was a voice that was gentle and quiet yet had a magnetic pull to it, it was bound to draw all attention towards the one speaking "uh! Wha…", He came back to his senses when he heard the voice coming from behind him and he turned around to look, and in his sight, a man emerged, he had an extremely average yet warm face and nicely toned skin, but the odd thing was that Jaden actually had to look downwards to realize he was there, yes, he was as tall the dwarf next door, but he didn't look like one, instead he looked like a youngster that got growth milk spilled all over his face. Jaden had an urge to look around to search and see if the person who spoke was hiding somewhere, but something told him that that person was the one right in front of him "you're the one who's been speaking inside my head?", "I wouldn't say the one, but yes I'm a part of them "

"A part?"

"Don't tell me you didn't know it was more than one voice speaking or I'd be forced to kill myself and cry at the feet of your father at what a dunce of a kid he pushed into the world"

Before he turned his head, he remember the stinging voice that forced him to point break and immediately knew the bastard was the one speaking again, the face he saw was one of extreme beauty, almost enough to be called a girl's, with the frame of his body even more of a girl's without the curves, I'd rather you keep yourself alive, lest my father have nightmares about a person with an ambiguous sexual orientation trying to get cozy on his laps", the face of the man who just dropped in had his face frozen in confusion before slowly becoming distorted at the realization of what the words meant, as he opened his mouth to say something a different voice spoke up, "well don't start a squabble with a child less than your fifth generation child's age, you spoke first so he had the right to reply", turning his head again for the third time in the last five minutes, he saw a different spectacle entirely, the speaker was a shirtless man wearing trousers that looked like those wandering monks wore to study the dao of life but that wasn't the fact that got him stumped, this guy was like the visual rendition of Buddha, he even had the drooping ear lumps, then he noticed another person beside Buddha, he walked over with a woman beside him, one thing they all had in common was the fact they were dressed in something like ancient clothing, it was a confusing thing for Jaden but he had more pressing matters on hand.

"Why did you call me here"

"You're as impatient as your father, haha you will realize what you have to do but you need to understand properly the essence of where you exist, allow me to shed a little light on what I just said…",

'Let the story begin'

"As you should have already heard from people around you that the universe around us that houses where we live is infinite like the sea of sand, As far as I am concerned, that logic is relatively wrong, let me explain better, you see this Earth is a part of the milky way galaxy, on a measuring scale, what comes next are star fields, after that are the field regions and then the regional sectors, for reference the star field the milky way is located in is the Pride Core star field, which contains no less than three thousand other galaxies, around the Pride Core star region are six other star fields, they are the Greed Core star field, the Sloth Core star field, the Envy Core star field, the Voracious Core star field, the Lust Core star field, the Rage Core star field, together they alone form the Sins core field region and amongst thousands of other field regions, those which contains ten thousands of star fields, coming together with the Sins core star field, it forms the Premiere regional sector, other than this there are thousands of other regional sectors, which I should say is not the definite number of regional sectors, only those registered were acknowledged, there are more places where life is sustained in the universe, but basically most other places in the universe are said to be danger zones. Now all this is but one universe known to contain life, countless universes make a single dimension, countless dimensions make up a single plane and although the planes that exist have not been fully explored yet, it is said that the planes in this realm easily number over a hundred. Now there are five realms, two beings from different realms are said to be fundamentally incomparable as their basic structure and existence on their own differs so perfectly well, hence the five realms are the Divine realm, the Corrupted realm, the Demon realm, the Essence realm and the Unseen realm, a realm is a truly infinite space and the five realms all exist together in a parallel manner, hence the ways to move between the realms are almost non-existent. Like I said before the five realms are essentially different from each other and have not a single shred of resemblance to each other, the Divine realm is a realm created by gods, the earliest of the ascenders to godhood, they felt a need for a special space existing just for them, the highest beings in existence, the realm was created by them hence it is permeated with divine essence and energy, hardly any other type of essence or energy is present and those present are only those elements that transcend all myriad things and existed from the very beginning of all life, but it's a little hard to feel if you aren't a god since you won't have the divinity that makes up the concept of a god, that's a far off concept for you anyways so don't dwell on it

The Demon realm as the name suggests is a place rife with demons of all kinds, unlike the ones in your imagination, the realm goes way back compared to the Divine realm hence there isn't much knowledge on it's creation , like the Divine, it is mostly filled with demonic like essence and energy. The Corrupted realm is the realm believed to be closest to the Demon Realm, the Corrupted realm is a realm filled with all sorts of abominations and monsters, and yes the creatures that once invaded your planet come from the Corrupted realm, there is a story that says that a long time ago, due to some unforeseen and clueless occurrence a passage from the Corrupted to the Demon realm was established for a long time and the demonic essence pouring from the Demon realm moved in and tainted the realm, the creatures of the corrupted realm were said to be fundamentally imperfect and a mismatch of essence that made cultivating impossible in the realm so when the essence coming from the Demon realm moved in, they were unaware of it and allowed it to change them. But what became of these dull and peace-loving creatures was unexpected, they became the opposite of what they known to be and as they grew there were also new changes occurring to them and they became stronger, it is said that the strongest of the realm after it was tainted then opened up passages leading to the other realms to invade and conquer, from being easy going and loving their character and essence changed into pure longing for conquests and destruction, a very tragic story "

'...So this is how they became such terrible existences…', Jaden was forced to feel a little pity for the monsters who descended to Earth and caused blatant destruction, he wasn't sure why he was hearing all of this but he kept quiet and kept on listening because it looked like the person still had more to say.

" The Unseen realm on the other hand is an entirely different ball game, it's basically a place for the dead, every single being that dies, one it's dead has its soul and only it's soul transported to the realm, it's mode of operation is still a little vague, but when the soul gets transported into the realm, it moves on instinct to gain essence, soul essence to be exact, the place of assignment is completely random and even when it has saturated itself with enough soul essence, the realm it is transported back to could be entirely different, it has to do with the way it lived it's time in the unseen realm.

The Essence realm, in it's name lies the meaning of it's existence, it's a realm that contains all the myriad essence present in existence, it's the only place where there's a plausible situation of a new essence being created, but that's a distant topic. The reason for the existence of so many different and diverse species in the essence realm is due to the presence of the myriad essence all around us that incites the creation and emergence of a different specie, even now in the far end of the realm where new universes, star field, field regions are being brought into existence, a new specie pops into existence to take it's place there, although the rate of propagation is extremely miniscule. The secrets of this realm has yet to be fully uncovered, like the unseen realm, it still hasn't been fully understood, the exploration of the realms you'll have to take up but that will be later on, right now you have other pressing matters to attend to..."

In the end his patience ran out and Jaden spoke up "I have questions, I re-", "Jaden try to hold in any question you want to ask till the end, if you don't mind", the person who still hadn't introduced himself said politely, but ignored all looks from Jaden and continued talking"

" Now that I've given you a brief explanation of the world around you, I'll now explain why exactly you're here.

"You see, I don't know if you know this but your father is what those everywhere would call a chosen, you see, when disaster first struck Earth , everyone could only wallow in despair, the key to opening up a path for survival was a strong faith and an emotional resonance with the nature around.

There are some planets and places that have a unique origin and secret hidden within, Earth is one of those places, you don't have enough strength to know much as of now, so I'll leave that aside, Earth was unique and it was once known for producing outstanding people, the leader of those people were always known as the sovereign, many years back a great war happened, the war spanned across a large amount of space, countless regional sectors disappeared like it was never there, Earth with it's mighty sovereign and heroes eventually fell even with all the resistance, Earth itself suffered much damage and hence had to seal itself, weakning all earthlings with it, infact Earth might not have had to seal itself if those warriors who survived had taken up the responsibility to heal the Earth, but they were afraid and worried after being weakened terribly and instead secluded themselves hoping to recuperate and regain their lost strength, but a long time has passed since then and none of them had emerged, luckily for humanity, when your father arrived with the utmost sympathy and empathy for the loss, he was able to lift the seal. When the ancient battle reached it's highest point and the Sovereign realized the need for a sacrifice to protect Earth and it's people, he gazed into the future faintly and made a choice decisively, he collected the essence of his power and sealed it with us to guard it until another threat to earth appeared and the basic condition of worthiness was met, your father was deemed worthy and received the power, after gaining the power he led humanity to push back the abominations and was able to actually collapse their frontline and made it possible for humanity to have some breathing space, naturally he was meant to be praised and worshipped but something else happened, he disappeared. Although we have suspicions about it, I won't say anything now and we will have to focus on your training instead, Jaden, your father was deemed worthy and gained the power and essence of the sovereign of Earth, but he wasn't able to become a true sovereign, instead he died and left a successor… you, Even though he never really knew you, I'm sure he had high expectations for you, you're the heir of a sovereign's successor, naturally you are the new successor, I won't burden you with all the responsibilities as of now as you are still weak, but I hope you know that the successor of Earth's throne isn't a position that should be taken lightly, grow strong quickly and get ready to accept the mantle of leader of Earth's humanity, when you grow you'll realize things that you won't be able to notice now, till then I hope you can become stronger… Now, any questions?"

"...?!?!"
