Ending

Floating in the space, was enormous gate, it's entrance rippling like water surface. Looking at the entrance you could see a vast land, with all types of biomes, from deserts to snowy peeks.

Before the gate stood Ahkin, his hands clasped together, as if praying, his eyes closed as he concentrated.

Deep in concentration, using his powers to accomplish his task. He needed to hide and isolate this artificial world that Ahkin have created. It was his most extensive work, started early in his cultivation journey, and continued to improve to this day.

Little by little, the gate started to disappear, becoming more transparent by the minute. As the gate was barely visible, Ahkin suddenly separated his hands and clapped three times. From the space around the gate, black chains appeared and started surrounding barely visible gate. As the chains tightly bound the gate, they too disappeared with the last hint of the gate, leaving no trace behind.

Ahkin looked around, checked that everything was in order, making sure that that he didn't miss any details that could affect his home.

"Ok, with this, the most important things are completed."

Ahkin was finishing his preparations for the reincarnation, he didn't know when he will be reborn but wanted to save some things for his future, to make it a little easier on his next journey.

'Now that this is finished, I just need to inform my friends. I think I should also get rid of that annoyance. From what I have heard, he started making a lot of movements, gathering a lot of resources and being much more active lately. I don't really care about what he intends to do, but Leya has been complaining about him before. I'll just get rid of him as a farewell gift. As a bonus, this could count as good deed, helping others.'

"No need to delay, I can just go to Blinging Darkness domain and after that go to see my friends."

With decision mande, Ahkin disappeared from his place.

In a remote corner of the universe, there was a region of space that was chaotic and the only rule was that the one with more strength was right.

This place was home to the most notorious of people, filled with countless thugs and demonic cultivators, a place there only the ruthless survive.

On one of the planets, standing in a valley was a huge city, with buildings of different sizes and shapes. At the center of the city stood a steep mountain with a grey tower at the top. The bustling city was stark contrast from the tower. In the city below, you could see activity at any moment but the tower was silent, you could hardly see anyone, just ocasional person dressed and dark cloaks, most hiding there faces with the hood.

In one of the tower floors, in the hall that was reserved for special meetings, stood a reddish table with thirteen chairs arranged around it. Each seat was occupied by distinct person, with different forms and dispositions.

Sitting at the head of the table was a man, with short black hair, deep purple eyes that radiated malice, looking at his collogues around the table.

"We have completed almost all the preparations, the last thing left is just to wait for the right moment to initiate it."

Leaning forward with his elbows an a table and resting his chin on his clasped hands, the man spoke with deep voice, conveying the importance of this meeting.

"The latest report that come from inner sect elder responsible for the planet, said that no problems have occurred, and everything is going according to the plan. Disciples guarding the planet also didn't encounter anyone trying to get in. A report from the spies in other sects also indicates that for now, no one has any information about our plan and are concentrating on other regions."

"Sect leader." Said one of the figures, dressed in black, his figure thin with ash-like pale skin. If not for his sunken cheeks, and eyes that looked less alive than a dead man's the man could be considered handsome.

"When will we proceed with the ritual? We have put a lot of effort and resources into this, and delaying it again is not an option. We need to proceed with this as soon as possible, the bastards from the Central region are being to nosey."

"I agree with fifth elder, the sooner we get through this ritual the better, this could make it so that we wouldn't need to compromise with others anymore." This person was tall and muscular, a red skin cloud be seen from the armor and helmet he wore.

Others nodded too, agreeing with the statement. They couldn't delay any more, as the more time passed the more likely something could go wrong.

"Don't worry, I have already arranged some of our disciples as a distraction for the Radiant Palace to focus on. Just to make sure nothing could go wrong, I hired Black Seed."

"Black Seed!?" Shocked voice could be heard from the woman sitting at the table.

"Sect Leader, are you sure it was correct decision to hire them? It costs a lot to move them and most of them are fanatics that are hard to work with."

"Don't worry, I know your dislike for them, and what kind of group they are. That's the main reason... What!?"

The Sect leader suddenly exclaimed, standing up abruptly, quickly followed by all other people in the hall. Everyone left the hall, flying outside the tower as fast as posible.

As everyone gathered above the tower, they also there soon joined by other people from the city, all looking in the distance, at the man that was floating not far from them.

Ahkin looked at the steadily increasing crowd, waiting for all to gather. He has already looked through the planet, just to make sure not to miss anything, and mark all these that he needed to get rid of. He was lucy and found out that all the people he needed to remove, there already here and didn't need to look for them anywhere else.

At first he just thought of destroying whole planet, but decided against it. Just to minimize nagging from the Leya about lost nature. Last time he accidentally destroy one of her planets, she kept nagging him for a whole year.

Seeing that all the people that he need have gathered, Ahkin prepared to finish this quickly and go to see his friends.

'If Leya doesn't appreciate my effort in making her life easier for cleaning up her problems, I'm not giving her the galaxy I prepared.'

"Who are you!?" Asked purple eyed sect leader. "Why have you isolated us here?" His eyes narrowed in to slits, glaring at Ahkin. He already had a hunch that this wasn't a peaceful encounter.

Ahkin didn't say anything, just started to raise his hand. The only purpose for even letting everyone feel about confinement and waiting for everyone to gather was because he was too lazy to go from place to place and eliminating everyone by one.

"Sect leader! He's ... He's The Wanderer!". Shouted one of the other twelve people besides purple eyed sect leader the where in the hall before.

The moment the group heard that name, the older ones instantly widened their eyes, having heard stories about The Wanderer.

Before anyone could react more, Ahkin waived his raised hand, freezing space and stopping time in the area where the group was, preventing anyone from escaping. Not wasting any more time, he concentrated a little and a grey mist started to appear, surrounding the group of frozen cultivators. As the mist touched a cultivator, he started to disappear, not leaving anything behind, the whole process silent.

In mere minutes, every cultivator disappeared, leaving only Ahkin standing. He looked at the tower and decided to get rid of it too, not to leave opportunity for others to profit from his good deed.

Destroying the tower was just as easy, waiving his hand, whole mountain with a tower started to shrink, getting smaller and smaller. When the mountain and a tower there so small as to fit in ones palm, it got encased in a bubble and floated to Ahkin. With a bubble above his hand, Ahkin flooded it with grey mist again, making everything in the bubble to disintegrate.

Finishing his work and looking around, Ahkin just saw some of the low level cultivators fleeing. Not paying them any mind, he turned around and disappeared, leaving the chaos that ensued after his work.

The next moment Ahkin appeared, he was already on a different side of the universe. Before him was a beautiful planet, from the space you could already see the beauty of the forests and valleys, and the mountains that there trying to reach the heavens.

A couple of seconds after Ahkin appeared, a beautiful woman flew from the planet with incredible speed. She flew straight for the Ahkin.

"Leya, it's..." Askin didn't finish his sentence, as he saw that the woman didn't slow down her speed at all.

The woman with long black hair, bright blue eyes and warm smile didn't slow down her flight and just tackled Ahkin, hugging him.

"Ahkin! So good to see you! I missed you! Why haven't you contacted me for so long? Where have you been? I looked for you everywhere. Why have you decided to gather everyone today? Have you discovered something interesting?"

Leya kept asking him one question after another, barely pausing between them. The last time they have met, there before Ahkin went through his tenth breakthrough attempt. And after that he spend a lot off time concentrating on the research and creating new cultivation method.

"Ok, ok, can you please let me go now, Leya? I'll try answering all your questions later. For now let's go meet with everyone, it's been a long time I saw you all."

Ahkin patted his friends head, trying to extract from her death grip of the embrace.

"Fine, fine, but you're not going anywhere until you tell me everything, this time you disappeared for a long time and didn't contact any of us until now. You're telling us everything and that's final."

Leya tried to sound stern but with her bright smile and happy mood it failed to intimidate Ahkin.

Ahkin just shook his head, smiling at her as he let himself be dragged to the planet, to see his friends. He didn't want to hide about what he's going to do, he cared about his friends and didn't want for them to look for him, trying to find out what happened. He knew that what he's attempting to do is crazy and some would think it was too extreme but he had to do it, he didn't want to just vaste his time on doing nothing. He has some regrets about loosing all his progress, but he would have more regrets later if he didn't do it.

"Everyone is already waiting for you, Ahkin, you're last one to arrive, like always." At the last word, Leya glared a little at him.

"Sorry, just had to take care of something. It's actually for you, you could say it's a gift from me."

"Really!? What is it? Is it new planet? Oh, I hope it's beautiful! The last one was so beautiful, it's the most amazing one that I have now in my domain, exclusive just for me. Of course, you can visit me on it any time, you're always welcome to come. Oh! I can show you my new captured beast, it's so pretty."

Leya kept chatting on, excited about the gift that Ahkin mentioned.

"This time I have prepared everyone a gift, I hope you all will like it. Lets not delay any longer, I have a lot to talk about with you all."

They continued on to the planet. Leya kept asking Ahkin what kind of gift he got for her.
