The Apocalypse

This was the advent of what would go on to be Demonic Cultivators. Living Beings who have given in to the Darkness. Humans, Beasts and all Sentient Creatures.

However, this wasn't the end of it all. From the abyss came creatures of pure and unadulterated Darkness. Their very aura screamed Evil. The New Ascend Divines fought continuously with these beings.

Dragons. Tigers. Birds of Various Types and Kinds with hideous and Revolting appearance. Figures Similar to that of humans with Beast like horns. Devils, they called them.

This Demonic beings only had one purpose: To Destroy. Yo massacre. To destroy every Presence of Life on each world they set their feet upon.

In the many cities of each and every planet, the ground is littered with bodies, carnage and blood. Red, brown and pink are the new colours of what was once lively cities, which has now become the stage of a cruel war.

The air which would normally be rich in scents of food, fresh fish and new brews is now deafening loud, the sound of explosions drowns any other sound in the area, there's no coming back from this.

Two parties fight each other, but it's clear who will win. The wounded of the losing side lay in heaps across the city and the faces of the fighters are grim with exhaustion and the certainty of death, their spirit will be broken soon.

With the thought of victory in their minds the winning side fights as if they're invincible. Some have succumbed to bloodlust and are carelessly charging any enemy without a care for their own safety, while others just wish all this was over.

The toll on both nature and humanity is tremendous. It'll likely take decades before these cities would recover.

For every planet, 10 Divines were the limit, however, the horde of Demons were staggering. Chakra Saints couldn't stand against Demonic Beings with Demonic Domains, hence, they were useless against them.

As Divines, their very essence had undergone sublimation, Their body was invincible to all below them, their Domain became a Holy Ground for each elements imbued in it. Their Chakra, a higher form of energy that could create anything from nothing within the Domain.

Facing beings of such power, the Chakra Saints stood no chance whatsoever.

...

Time passed a day at a time. This apocalypse had already been happening for Several Years but on this day...

Whoosh!

A beam of purple light suddenly cut across the skies. Every Living Planet saw this light. At that moment, all of the power of thunder within the skies seemed to gather at a single spot. It was unknown where this was happening exactly but all over the vast Universe, Mountains and Rivers were split apart, massive fissures was cracked open in the earth causing Lava to spew out into the world.

Volcanos erupted. Endless amount of Lava flooded outwards like galloping Horses, causing planets to shake!

Witnessing such apocalyptic scene, many surviving humans simply have up hope. It seemed as though the Heavens wanted them dead by all means possible.

However, at that moment, several New Gods flew high up into the air, actualising their Domains to prevent further destruction on their Planet.

This seemed to help for a moment but yet, million of lives were lost. All these lives gone simply due to the game the Heavens wanted them to play.

To combat the ever increasing Catastrophic incidents, Several Gods gathered and travelled to other planets to form alliances.

Large organizations spamming Solar Systems were formed and that was when it began to look like fortune was smiling on them. Through exchanging insights to their methods of cultivating, the Humans and Beasts alike were able to glimpse at a world they never knew existed.

They learnt of Laws. Inside their Divine Domain, their Will was Law but outside of it... It was just that. Nothing exciting at all. They could command World Force to exert more strength inside their Planet of origin, but outside their Planets, they were weak without their Domain.

They learnt that every Element has a Law governing it. Fire had multiple appearances and effects. Water had many forms and effects. Wind had other appearances and uses. Earth was much more than just an Element for defence. Lightning was much more than just destructive, it had a restrictive nature to everything Demonic.

Due to discovering these Laws, the Gods decided to Glimpse into this Realm, and in so doing, they came into contact with the Embodiments governing these Laws in its many forms.

They learned of the Laws from these Beings who were just happy to have other creatures stumble upon their Domain.

Their father ordered them not to interfere with the Development of Living Beings, but what if these same Living Beings came to them?

They learnt of the Duality of all Elements. How everything that exists has it counterpart. It's restrictive opponent. They also came to understand why This Creator wanted them to grow.

They had so much room for improvement, yet they were content with the little Strength they had. They didn't try to develop since that was the mainstay. They stagnated.

They also came to learn of the Words of the World. However, no matter how much they seeked to learn, it was as though it was knowingly eluding them.

"Mastery over this Words and Language Will make you all able to manipulate any and all Laws very proficiently." The Green Dragon of All Creation had told them.

However, these words didn't allow just anyone to learn it but they didn't give up. They learnt how to use the Myraid Herbs of the world to create unique pills useful for their varying effects.

They also learnt how to imbue energy into Weapons and inanimate objects. Creating Weapons of many Grades and puppets to increase their fighting force.

And as though the Heavens was pleased with their rapid development, there was a short moment of peace given to them to learn as much as they could from these embodiments.

The Dragon of Destruction, the Embodiment of The End of All Things had its own knowledge to share. He taught them the theory behind Techniques. Attacking, Defending, Supporting. Despite being Destructive by Nature, he. was too bored that he began to develop various ways to go about destroying things.

It wasn't it alone. All Six Embodiment who were Visited had what they had to teach. Various arts they had instinctively come up with during their long life of boredom, Applications of Laws to Elements, Combination of Elements and Laws.

Similar to how Fire has Destructive Components, the Phoenix, Embodiment of Life uses it as a means of Rebirth and Healing.

Water, despite its calm and Healing Nature could also be a source of Calamity.

Simply Put, there existed a whole new World waiting for them to Comprehend and that...that was what the Heavens wanted.

Years turned to decades and decades to Centuries. For over a thousand years, it seemed as though the Apocalypse had come to an end. Reason being that there was no attacks whatsoever on the surviving Sentient Beings.

The Humans were elated at this. The Beasts too. During their time learning from those higher level beings, they had come to understand that this peace was as a result of their progress.

The world was happy with them and gave them a stipulated amount of time to strengthen themselves. The Miasmic Energy that filled the Universe since the Opening of the Abyss remained stagnant.

Neither Increasing nor receding. Those Demonic beings remained where this energy was dense. So dense that no normal being dared entertain the thought of Intruding for fear of being demonized.

During these centuries, The progress the living beings of the world showed was so immense that they actually found a way to further progress on their Path to Godhood.

The Peak they were exposed to at the beginning of the Apocalypse was the Divine Chakra Body, however, after continuous learning and exchange of insights, they discovered ways to go further.

Divine Chakra Soul.

A stage immediately after the Divine Chakra Body. If in the previous stage, the body was achieving Godhood, in this stage, it was the soul that achieved Godhood.

It wasn't Godhood in particular, but a higher state of being. Their Soul was no longer Mortal. Even in death, they could always return back to this stage after reincarnation.

It was a stage that was that powerful. And compared to The Divine Body, beings in this level had a more profound understanding and control of chakra.

As soon as a Being who was at the Divine Body achieves this Realm, their connection to their planet of Origin is cut off and they begin to develop Chaotic Chakra Energy in their Divine Sea.

This Chaotic Chakra wasn't Chaotic in Nature but was Primal. Primal as in the beginning of all Creation. At this stage, they gain the ability to Create Real life in their Divine Sea, however, these life are without Sentience. They were just masses of Energy given form.

In this Realm, they could freely travel the Stars outside their Planets without the fear of actually losing energy since they could absorb the Primal Chakra in space.

In doing this, their Thrones return to their planet of Origin to await the next Lucky individual capable enough to ascend to the Divine Body.

After this Realm was the Divine Chakra Lord.

In this realm, there is only the growth of Total strength. You're Actually tested by the Heavens with a Tribulation of Fire, Lightning and Heart Demon. Only a handful are able to actually step into this Realm.

This Tribulation was a Trial but the Humans and Beasts all saw it as the Heavens trying to Crush them before they could reach it's Level. Hence, the term "Fighting Against the Heavens" was coined.

To those who survived, they was a drastic increase in total strength as their Body, Soul and Will managed to pass this Trial.

Fire to Temper and Cleanse the Body, Lightning to Temper and Cleanse the Soul, Heart Demon to Temper and Cleanse ones Will.

This Heart Demons, rather than standard demons or devils, these are a one's negative emotions and other mental barriers which hinder their training/cultivation. Internal Demons, in some cases, can even attack the practitioner from the inside, and failure to adequately resist them may result in Mental Breakdown... Leading to Instant Death, or in Fortunate Circumstances, an half-dead mind.

Entering this realm would see the World in the Divine Sea evolve into a Dimensional Realm. An Inner World.

Breaking through into Divine Lord would incite an imminent expansion of one's Inner World.

After the series of Tribulation, a multicoloured light would shine upon the individual. This Light would not only enrich the inner world with greater energy, but it would also form plant life and imbue this world with Minor Laws.

Depending on one's System and Potential, the plants would become spiritual medicines and heavenly treasures. These miracle medicinal herbs were not true plants, but plants formed by Chakra Energy Of the Universe.

If spiritual plants were to be planted in the soil of one's inner world in this state they would be able to grow just like in the real world. If an animal were to enter one's inner world they could also breath and survive. This was the sign when one has reached Divine Lord Realm.

When a martial artist broke through to the Divine Lord Realm, their body would begin to transform from a Normal Divine body to a True Divine Body. At this time, their fires of life would greatly strengthen and their lifespan would massively increase. Their aging process would slow down and the potential of their life would also improve.

Although they had yet to Understand the full extent of this Realm, they believed that, with the massive amount of Vitality Wafting off of them, living for Ten Thousand years would not be an exaggeration.

This however, was where they all hit a block. For some reason, they weren't able to progress mcuh after entering this Realm. The Reason behind it, they didn't know. It was only when they asked The Embodiments that they were made to understand the Reason behind it.

They had to understand and better comprehend the Laws. Amassing Energy without understanding what Laws govern each of these energies was similar to building a mansion upon sand by the river side.

When faced with Greater power, they would all crumble and be left as nothing more than rubble... Waste material that could be discarded at any point in time.

This led to them trying to understand the Laws they were attuned with but... Before they could even begin... That voice of terror sounded again.

The voice that for centuries, had turned into Horror stories told to children to keep them from misbehaving. Stories told to frighten Hot-headed individuals into practicing diligently.

It Sounded so beautiful yet it brought with it, nothing but tidings of their eventual demise.
