Chapter 1: The Beginning

Roar!!!!!

"What's with the prideful act in front of us when you've all become a pawn in the Heavenly Dao chess board? Even though we have to die in this battle, we shall bring you all down with us".

"Li Jing, do you think you and your colleagues had a chance in this battle? Heaven had already sealed your fate; it's your greatest mistake for rebelling against it".

"stop saying shit; die for me." "Destruction Sacred, dragon tail pendulum," a dragon voice rang out, and immediately a colossal black dragon tail swung out with an ear-piercing explosive sound, crashing against the giant figure standing in front of him; this figure was covered in golden light, created by multiple laws, weaved together.

"Humph, do you think you can kill me, you bastard Li Jing" The giant figure roared heavily, seeing the upcoming attack; without delaying, he summoned a massive manifestation behind him, and in this manifestation, all laws under Heaven were present.

"Heavenly Dao, world judgment," the colossal palm appeared to face the coming tail attack, and multiple Heavenly Dao laws created this palm.

A loud explosion rang out, the energy became chaotic and unstable, and large cracks appeared in the space; these attacks shattered time and space, and the residual energy of their clash permeated the air, creating visible ripples of power that distorted the surroundings.

Immediately another attack from the black dragon followed, "Destruction, Dragon immolation claws" Two heaven-shaking dragon claws appeared; as they appeared, the stars quivered, all the laws under Heaven were shattered, and the claws locked unto the figure in golden light.

The figure in golden light was not willing to be also outdone; his manifestation spun rapidly, and he clenched his fist, "Heavenly Dao, all things are encompassed" he threw a powerful punch, and all the laws and energy in the world immediately rushed in the punch to power it up making it more stronger.

The dragon claws reached down through space and time. While the punches also collide with the claws.

BOOOM!!!

Another explosion rang out, and more damage was caused to the universe; multiple stars were annihilated, and billions of life were gone; the energy waves distorted the perception of reality, causing illusions and strange phenomena to manifest. Many planets, stars, and the world were disintegrated along with many lives, unable to withstand the immense energy that rippled out from the point of impact.

Suddenly the sky rumbled loudly, and huge red eyes appeared in the sky; the eyes stared coldly directly at the many battles going on, then the eyes shifted to a colossal black dragon that spans for many miles, suddenly a huge red lightning bolt streaked down from the looks. It smashed on the colossal black dragon, and immediately, the black dragon roared in pain; many scales on his body shattered, and dark-gold blood started oozing out from his body.

However, the attack was not over; eight more vast bolts of lightning streaked down from the eyes, directed at the remaining eight battles. After that, the eyes disappeared like it was never there in the first place, and more figures with a golden light around them emerged out of nowhere.

Standing before the black dragon, the giant figure covered in golden light, spokes, "Li Jing, you cannot win this battle; look at your colleagues; they can't hold on any longer."

The black dragon turned his head to look at a battlefield; he saw a woman, using a dagger and covered in complete darkness, fighting a group of figures covered in golden light; she was almost at her limit, even though she had killed many of these figures.

He turned to look at another battlefield; he saw a woman fighting with a long whip, covered in creation energy, and killing relentlessly; however, her aura had started growing weaker also.

The black dragon looked at the remaining battlefield, and he saw five of his colleague getting killed right in front of his eyes while some even detonated themself, with a firm and unyielding gaze.

In a few minutes, he and the woman with creation energy were the only ones left, and they were barely standing. Pain, Grief, unwillingness, and hatred were all present in his huge draconic eyes.

Suddenly the dragon raised his head at the nine heavens, with all the negativity in his heart, "Ten, Thousand spirit Burial roar." He unleashed a brilliant roar that pierced through the heavenly Dao; ten thousand Daos collapsed, and the Earth vanished. A ripple of death and destruction then spread in every direction.

Immediately many of those figures in golden light were eradicated from the universe; countless corpses started falling from the sky like raindrops.

However, the black dragon's soul was also gone as a sacrifice, and only its colossal dragon body was floating in space; however, the body also started disintegrating into pieces.

The woman with creation energy around looked at the remaining figures with Golden-light covering them, "I hope all of you don't think this is the end because this is just the beginning." She said with a smile before her body started disintegrating into countless pieces.

There was a continent called Africa, and many countries existed in it. There was a country known as Nigeria, and in one of the cities of this country, A 19-year-old boy was walking mindlessly on a rainy day, lost in his thoughts.

He had always been by himself without any parents or relatives, but because he needed to make a living, he engaged in various jobs that would provide him with the daily income he needed.

On this particular day, it was raining heavily, but he didn't mind it until he heard a disturbance near a bank where a heist was taking place.

As soon as he saw what was going on, his survival instinct kicked in, and he picked up a race along with the chaotic crowd, running for their life.

Bang...

Suddenly a straight bullet came out of nowhere and hit his head. His head burst open like a watermelon.

He was not given a chance to scream or process the situation. He lost his life when he least expected it.

In a dark space filled with golden and violet liquid, with stars twinkling in the sky, the air around this space was so comforting; it was a world of its own.

The boy opened his eyes with great effort and found himself in an unfamiliar world. This world was the incarnate of beauty, but he realized he couldn't move his body.

He tried, but none of his body would listen to his command, no matter how much effort he put into it. He realized that he had no control over his body except his thoughts; everything was not in his power; he couldn't even adjust his eyes and could only stare in one direction.

With each passing minute, the boy became more confused, from confusion to curiosity to fascination about the beautiful sky he was staring at, then back to confusion; this goes on for a few hours.

"If I recall right, I was running for my life some minutes ago, and I lost control of my body, but when I opened my eyes, all I could see was this beautiful sky. Where am I? Am I dead? Is this Heaven? Because there cannot be anywhere as beautiful as this except Heaven. But when one dies, an angel is meant to appear and examine one's beliefs. Is it always necessary to wait for them? Perhaps I should be patient".

He started thinking out loud.

Then, all of a sudden, the entire world began to tremble. The boy can hear the sound of death and battle but not see anything. He tried to concentrate, but all he could make out was this beautiful sky. He tried to scream but couldn't control his mouth. He kept hearing the wail of despair and the scream of death. Then fear began to grow inside of him.

But then he heard a voice; he could listen to the voice, but it seemed to come from a long distance away. The voice was majestic and carried a will that would not tolerate suppression, a will that would break rather than bend.

"The world is blessed and cursed; the dao is emotionless; but all things are encompassed; only the strong are favored; and only the strongest rule," the voice then said to him.

"Son, take charge of your destiny. Be a warrior with a strong will to pursue hegemony. If the gods get in your way, kill them; if the devil is against you, make them scream; if the skies get in your way, divide the heavens; but in your heart, respect everything. Defy the heavens and trample the earth".

"You are our proud son." Then there was silence.

The boy's soul was dumbfounded, and the next thought that came to his mind was, "What the fuck" Confused, he screamed in his mind. "What's going on here? Who are you? What do you mean with all that nonsense? Where am I ?".

But all he received was silence and no reply; he was speechless.

Then he started hearing the screams of death and despair again, and fear overcame him.

But all of a sudden, his vision changed from the beautiful sky to something more horrific.

What he saw made his eye almost pop out of his socket. He saw an infinite battleground filled with various species warring, and the stench of death lingered around the whole battlefield. There was a catastrophe war going on.

The battle was endless in different areas; some beings were on the ground, others were in the air, some had wings, and some were giants and tall that he had never seen before except in the story of David and the giant he heard on Earth. He thought there was more to this giant than the story he had heard on Earth.

Then the thought came to him: "Where am I?"

His viewpoint then shifted. Nobody was aware that there was an underground beneath the battleground. All of this appeared as if it was being projected onto him on purpose.

Then he saw a giant egg surrounded by endless blood with different tattoos around it.

At least, that's what he initially believed, but then he noticed these tattoos moving and absorbing the blood surrounding him. He raised his gaze again to the battleground and noticed that the source of the blood flow was there.

Then suddenly, it was like something clicked in his mind. He looks back to the giant egg, then back to the battlefield, and then realizes that he is in a fucking giant egg.

"Dammit, I'm in a fucking giant egg. What's going on here? What's going on here?"

"Wait, this is not how the hell story I heard was; what is going on here?"

Then suddenly, he felt a pain he had never felt before. Everything becomes blurry again.

In his mind, there was fear, absolute pain, and despair. He screamed, but no one came to his aid. He sought salvation, but there was no salvation.

He thought he was going through all this pain because of all his sins since that's the story he knows on Earth, but in reality, this is different. This is a world of cultivation; this is a world of Dao.
