Chapter 781 The beginning of the end (II)
There was a super universe strikingly similar to the Prima Universe. It had countless worlds and planes, capable of giving life to billions upon billions of life forms.
At the center of this universe, there were ten thousand individuals. They were the strongest life forms of this super universe, each a powerhouse with the strength to shatter worlds with their bare hands, yet they were kneeling with absolute respect on their faces.
Closest to the universe’s nucleus were nine life forms, all with an aura that allowed them to earn the title of Empyreans. Leading them was a man bathed in black lightning arcs and ten silver heavenly bodies floating around his head.
Chrollo’s battle power had evolved to a whole new level from the last time he entered the Prima Universe. Not only did his cultivation reach Fourth Evolution Extreme Rank 9, but he already completed Return to Origin and formed his Pre-Epoch Body!
If he could find and train a technique of the same level to Return to Origin focused on the soul, he might become a De-Facto Rank 10 life form!
Even with all that power and no longer bound to a universe due to his Pre-Epoch Body that could resist the Emptiness, words could not describe the admiration, respect, and awe in Chrollo’s soul as he glanced at the Alpha Universe’s nucleus.
Chrollo’s cultivation and centers of power advancing so much in such a short time had everything to do with something that happened less than a thousand years ago.
The Flame Imperator left the Alpha Universe and, along with the Incarnation of Death and Destruction, chased after the King in Yellow, triggering a battle that sundered the Eldritch Universe.
He returned heavily wounded from the Eldritch Universe, having pushed his body and soul beyond their limits to fire his Rank 10 Spell. Nevertheless, he also brought a Rank 10 life form’s Core of Existence!
Less than a year later, the Flame Imperator entered the Alpha Universe’s nucleus to trigger his final evolution.
The universe’s nucleus was a place no one would dare to enter, as it was the home of the Universe Will, but there were no such things as impossible for the Flame Imperator. Soon after, he commanded the Primordial Legion to stand guard and wait for his awakening.
Although the Primordial Legion was confused by that order since no one would dare to attack the Flame Imperator inside the Alpha Universe, they did as told.
Soon, the Primordial Legion understood the reason for the Flame Imperator’s directive. It was not for his sake but theirs.
Radiation carrying myriad forces that stood above the power of a super universe emerged from the Alpha Universe’s nucleus. It nurtured the Primordial Legion’s bodies, soul, energy, and even Omega Laws!
It was a lucky chance like no other the Alpha Universe had ever encountered!
Now, after centuries without a word from the Flame Imperator and enjoying the radiation emanating from the Alpha Universe’s nucleus in silence, something finally changed.
“BOOM!” A thunderous explosion that echoed through the Alpha Universe emerged from the universe’s nucleus.
The ten thousand members of the Primordial Legion raised their heads and stared at the nucleus with wonder in their eyes.
“¡BOOM!”
“¡BOOOOMMMM!”
“¡BOOOOOMMMMMMMM!”
Hearing those blasts and seeing the cracks in space-time forming around them only made the smiles in the Primordial Legion widen. They understood those were not simple explosions, but actually, heartbeats!
Those heartbeats were so powerful and mystic that they reached every corner and hidden dimension in the Alpha Universe.
The Alpha Universe’s life forms’ bloodline reacted to the entity that made their birth possible, and all the men, women, and children that heard it stopped whatever they were doing and kneeled.
Hundreds of millions of years ago, there were countless bloodlines and races in the Alpha Universe, similar to the Prima Universe. Nevertheless, everything changed when a monstrously powerful entity changed the laws to upgrade a race’s destiny.
As for what race that was, they were the strongest and the ones with the lowest number, Primordials.
Unlike the Prima Universe’s Primordials that fell in the Cataclysmic War against the Eldritch Race, those of the Alpha Universe manage to prosper. Still, despite their great personal power, their destiny was weak since they could not procreate, making their number finite.
However, that changed after the entity known as the Flame Imperator changed the laws, giving them that ability. That heavenly favor came as a total shock for the Primordial Race because they had never heard or even interacted with that man up to that point.
Regardless of the reason, the Primordial Race felt immense gratitude and admiration for the man that granted them the gift of fertility.
Of course, there is a price for everything, and to grant fertility to the Primordial Race, other races were doomed to lose it. That drew the rage of countless powerhouses that rally against the Primordial Race.
Although the Primordial Race was mighty, their numbers made it impossible for them to fight the entire Alpha Universe. However, the Flame Imperator acted again.
He protected the Primordial Race and warned the other races’ powerhouses to return home and wait, as his grand scheme would help the entire Alpha Universe.
None of those powerhouses was willing to listen, and they fought. Sadly, they were too weak, and in the end, the Flame Imperator defeated them all and trapped them alive.
When the other races saw that, many felt desperation, thinking their end would come soon. None of them could procreate, regardless of what path they attempted, so they were doomed to be the last generation of their kind.
However, ten years later, the Flame Imperator acted again. He used all those powerhouses he trapped to fuel a spell covering the Alpha Universe.
To the delight of the other races, they regained their fertility. It was much weaker than before, but it was still more than good enough to carry on.
However, the other races immediately noticed the difference in the children born after the universe-wide spell fired by the Flame Imperator. None of those babies had their mother or father’s bloodlines. Instead, the one running through their veins was the Primordial Bloodline!
It was feeble and lacked purity, but it was there. Every single new child born from that point on was a Primordial!
