Pure-Heart (3)

The space was grey. There wasn't anything present besides a small purple dot. This dot floated in the empty grey space.

It was unknown how long since time was impossible to calculate. The purple dot grew but every time it seemed to grow, it seemed to shrink.

Eventually, a crack formed on the purple dot. Then it continued. It grew and it shrank. It grew and then shrank. Finally, another crack appeared.

More and more cracks appeared over countless cycles of growing and shrinking. The grey space remained as grey as it had always been.

Shhhhhhhhhh!

The purple dot suddenly released a noise. Right after, the purple dot began growing for another cycle. This time, it didn't shrink though.

It grew. It stopped growing. Then, it grew once more. It stopped growing. It grew and grew until, finally, the terrifying force inside couldn't be held back.

BOOM!!!

An explosion of utmost grandeur occurred. A purple light encompassed the infinite grey space for as far as the eye could see!

Before long, it had enveloped everywhere.

The place retained calmness soon after as if one was a distance away, and were able to see at a broader view, they'd realize this purple light had merely enveloped a fraction of the grey space.

If one had pulled their gaze even further back, they'd realize that this purple light had enveloped even less than a fraction as there were multiple other purple lights inside this massive grey domain.

If one had pulled their gaze as far as possible away, they'd lose sight of the purple light since there were simply too many.

Some were of different sizes than others, and if one were able to perceive it, they'd realize the original purple light was one of the smallest in this sea of purple lights.

...

Back in the small purple zone.

Time began. Particles began to appear. These particles and sub-particles grew larger and larger. The more they grew, the more of them appeared.

The more that appeared, the faster they grew.

This continued for countless amounts of time as long after the first appearance, these small particles finally finished growing.

Planets, Stars, Starry Skies, Star Fields, Domains, Realms, Dimensions, Hidden Realms, and Broken Dimensions took form, completing the birth of the Ancient Universe.

The amount was unimaginable. Depending on the type of lifeform one was, the number of Dimensions was constantly expanding.

Even if ordinary humans were eternal, even without being affected by time, they would still not be able to count every Planet and Star.

No, even Domains and Realms were too many to count even when given the time of eternity. The number was simply infinite!

After these celestial bodies and different spaces formed, the next thing that formed was something in an empty and desolate region of space.

The thing took time to form. It began as a ball of energy.

This ball of energy contained the natural mysteries of what was before this place was born, and what it had now become.

The ball of energy condensed. It grew and shrank, grew and shrank, grew and shrank until it eventually produced liquid energy.

The liquid energy continued to expand. From a measly drop to ten centimeters, then to a meter, a kilometer, 100 kilometers, 1,000 kilometers, 10,000 kilometers...

The ball of energy had become an endless ocean. It had long reached the size of small starry skies of several light years!

When it reached this size, the endless ocean shrank. I hurriedly began shrinking as if it had reached a certain limit.

From several light years to a light year. From 1 trillion kilometers to 1 billion kilometers. From 1 million kilometers to 10,000 kilometers.

The smaller it shrank, the more powerful the energy it radiated. By now, the power had already caused the surrounding space to break apart.

The energy ocean shrank and shrank until it had once more reached a limit. When this took place, the space violently began to vibrate.

Above the now 100-kilometer ocean of energy were purple flashes of lightning! In this empty void of the universe, purple lightning condensed into bolts.

Bolts of lightning rained down onto the ocean of energy. By now, the ocean of energy had become a solid structure of absolutely pure and explosive energy.

Yet, under the now hundreds of billions of powerful bolts of lightning that were each capable of the destruction of Dimensions, this structure of energy broke apart.

As it broke apart though, the aura it released didn't die instead, it slowly began to rise. The energy structure was seemingly being carved.

Slowly, it was carved into a hundred-kilometer-tall humanoid entity!

Thrum!

This entity had purple hair that resembled the purple light and grey hair that resembled the space outside this purple light.

Its eyes, one was a deep shade of pupilless purple while the other was a pupilless white and they both stared into the emptiness of the dark void.

The lightning had stopped descending onto this being's body.

By this time, countless planets and stars had been pulverized into dust even though they were countless light years away!

The humanoid entity stood in space. It stood there, unmoving. Time passed, so much so that around its body, planets and stars swirled around.

So much so that stars had formed and then died. So much so that galaxies appeared with it as the center.

The powerful aura it radiated seemed to twist the space around it but, there was no movement from this strange humanoid structure.

The river of time expanded. Even more planets and stars died.

So much time passed that eventually, other structures somewhat similar to this one, or not similar at all, formed.

So much time passed that, sentient life had formed. Then powerful civilizations formed on planets and stars!

Time flew. These civilizations rose to power and later became extinct. The purple light, no, the Ancient Universe gave birth to many lifeforms.

As for the humanoid structures, they were named the three thousand Ancient Gods. As the proclaimed gods, they were worshipped by all.

Finally, the time had come. After countless civilizations had risen and fallen, the Ancient Universe welcomed what would later be known as Samsara.

No matter what it was, stars, starry skies, star fields, domains, realms, or dimensions, they all were turned to dust.

The purple light, Ancient Universe was pervaded by the grey space. Wherever it went, anything and everything died.

Everything besides the three thousand Ancient Gods. The grey space disappeared and the purple light reappeared.

Inside the purple light, only three thousand entities were present. These three thousand entities each radiated scary auras.

Their auras were much scarier than the time before the appearance of the grey space and the one who radiated the scariest aura was the first of them.

The first to appear. The one who seemed to be the amalgamation of the grey space and purple light.

Its aura was comparable to ninety percent of the three thousand ancient gods combined.

The most important reason for this was directly related to it being the first of the so-called ancient gods to be born.

Its aura carried not just the properties of the purple light like all the other so-called ancient gods.

The aura of this entity carried with it, the properties of the mysterious grey space.

Suddenly, in the purple light expanse, a mysterious force descended onto the bodies of each proclaimed ancient god.

At the same time, the fingers of the purple-white haired ancient god trembled.
