Orclion

Existence was divided into three realms.

The Heavenly Realm. The Earthen Realm. The Infernal Realm.

Below them, countless minor realms of all types existed, none able to match the might of any of the Three Fundamental realms.

The Celestials led the Heavenly Realm, The Immortals led the Earthen Realm and Demons led the Infernal Realm while the Rulers controlled all the minor realms.

Together, they formed The Myriad Unity and allowed peace to reign supreme.

The mortals were allowed to cultivate and reach for the Heavens as a balance was installed between the Heaven and Earth, all according to the Heaven’s Will.

And yet, among the billions of trillions of living beings within the Myriad Unity, one seemed unsatisfied.

“They are lying to us.”

This man went against all known truths and contradicted the very gods.

“We are in a false world! Mere pawns used to study an outcome!”

And so in search of freedom and truth, this man committed the ultimate taboo.

He rebelled.

Against The True Gods

A wave of fire, so large and grand it could only be called a world-sized tsunami of flames, erupted from Autumn just as Caine's body was split in half at the waist.

But Caine's True Will remained firm. A vast amount of qi burned from his bond space, surging into his time star. Instantly, his injuries rewound, leaving only scars to mark where his body had once been torn asunder.

His robes, already tattered, were shredded further, revealing the countless and endless scars covering his compressed, vascular, and refined frame.

Caine focused. A flame seemed to ignite within his gaze as he roared out, slamming his only palm onto his chest. Countless formation circles manifested around him, linking together to form the outline of a gigantic humanoid avatar.

Atmospheric qi gathered, condensing into a grand spear that the avatar gripped. Just as Caine swung, the avatar mirrored his movement, countering the tsunami of flames rushing toward them.
