------------------------------
A Trillion year passed.
Unknown planet - Desolate continent - Mountain lake village
------------------------------
In a small manor that covers 300 square meters. At the training ground of the inner courtyard, many sounds of weapon clashing and fighting shout resound through the manor.
There's a boy around 10-12 years of ages fighting with a handsome man in late twenty regarding appearance.
Yes, It's in term of appearance. Because all people in this world can cultivate the spiritual qi to nurture their blood and bone, improving their strength and longevity. The more spiritual qi they cultivate, the more strength they would get.
The one that's not cultivate called mortal and the one who cultivates is a cultivator. From reference from the old tome of ancient civilization, the cultivator cultivation realm has 11 realms, each realm has 4 sub-realm that called Primary, Advance, Master, and Peak.
The 11 cultivation realm concise of [Spirits Disciple], [Spirits Warrior], [Spirits Commander], [Spirits King], [Spirits Emperor], [Spirits Ascension], [Celestial], [Half Immortal], [False Immortal] and [Immortal].
Return to the present time, The boy fighting with a man, both are holding training spear. At first, the man uses his power and experience to overwhelm the boy but as time passed, every move that man use has been perfectly countered by a boy, and he even need to retreat because the pressing moves from the boy that come from the different angle that hard to defense against let alone counter.
This fight is devoid of all spiritual qi they didn't use any of it until…
"Haha! Gotcha!" The boy evades with a hairsbreadth gap from the spear tip of a man, the boy catches a man the spear shaft with his left hand and pull to destabilize the man foothold a little before released it and counter with a thrust.
"Not yet!" The man shouts and stabilize himself and sweep his spear but the tiny gap of time that he used to stabilize himself is enough for a boy spear tip to hit him. But before it's hit, his spiritual qi explodes and send the boy flying.
"Uwaaaaaah" The boy screamed when in mid-air when flying out of the training ground.
"GyaHahahaha you're naive son! even you are a heaven-defying genius, but you can't use spiritual qi yet and don't expect the opponent to always keep their words." The man laughs out loud with a great satisfaction feel in his laughing.
The boy picking himself up from the ground. Shaking his head to expel his dizziness and sulking glare at the man who's laughing like no tomorrow on the training ground. That man is his father Zhu Songtian the renown eastern general of the east of The Great Phoenix Empire.
As the son of a muscle for brain dad like him, he has a very ridiculous over the top name as Zhu Wushang which means [Supreme God], and this name is the best target for a brain-dead bully that love to make fun of him. The result? He got scolded by his mother after he removes one or two front teeth from all of those bully with his fist.
"Oh? Do you happy that you could win a mock battle with our son by cheating?" A sweet but cold voice sound out behind a man back.
The man laughs and answers with a happy tone.
"Yeah! Definitely! I just taught him a life lesson so he wouldn't be cheated in the future, so that's… huh?" He stopped before finishing the sentence and slowly turning toward the direction of this sweet voice.
A gorgeous woman with light blue hair smiling coldly at the man, the temperature in the vicinity dropping sharply, the ice start to cover at the floor which she stands on and it follows her as she walking toward the man.
[Oh, Here we go again] The boy thought with a helpless expression as if he already seen this situation much time in the past.
"If it's only teaching him alone I wouldn't object but…" The temperature drastically decreases further until the air moisture around turning to ice.
"Errrr… Wifey this is a misunderstanding I can explain it." The man slowly retreats with a pale face, the anger of his usually calmed and sweet wife is something he doesn't want to face.
"Why the FUCK are you need to mention OUR SON! shortcoming Haaaa!!??" The woman pissed off she shout in anger before punching at the man stomach, pummeling him for a bit and finish with the right hook.
This beautiful woman is his mother. Her name is Zhu Yinbing, her blue hair is and the temperature dropping when she angry is the trait of the Ice Demon race which is the minority but a powerful race of this world.
"Gaaaahhhh!!!" The punch sends him crashing through the wall of training ground courtyard and fainted within the pile of rubble before the woman walks toward where her son is."
Since his first memory, this situation repeated many times. Most of the time it just them communicate with each other and did not get serious, only one or two punch enough for his muscle-for-brain to work properly and his dad just wait for 5-10 minute, and all of his injuries would vanish without a trace. But sometimes it gets serious because his father pisses his mother of so bad that she pummeling him like this to teach him a lesson.
But all in all, It's not to the point of becoming his trauma of having violence family. After all, This world is work by the rule of the jungle that the strong always prey on the weak. Every time he goes out to play in the town he would hear someone in the town market talking about things like "X sect/clan got destroyed because of X] or [Miss/Lady X got raped because some asshole young master from powerful sect/clan happens to bump into them.].
"Ahaha" Zhu Wushang chuckling a little at his father misfortune before walking toward his mother the light blue hair beautiful woman.
"Mom It's nearly lunch, let me whip up something good for both you and dad." He's speaking to his mom, but as he touches his mom's wrist, He's furrowed his brows. He felt that his mother pulse is strange. He checks for a bit before coming to a conclusion.
"What's wrong Shang'er?" His mom asks curiously.
Zhu Wushang exhales helplessly before saying.
"Mom… Why don't you rest?"
"Why?"
"It's because you're pregnant that's why." Yes, From her pulse, his mother is pregnant.
"Huh?" When the words is out. His father that pretended to faint immediately get up from a pile of rubble with the collection of dust dropping off.
"Son, What did you just say?" He quickly comes up and asks in excitement.
"I said Mother is pregnant" Repeated Zhu Wushang.
"What!? really!?" Zhu Songtian comes hugging his wife, hold her up and spin around in excitement.
"Wooohooo"
"Idiot! What are you doing!" Zhu Yinbing admonished her husband as she blushes.
"Mom, Then I'll go to the kitchen and prepare the lunch, I'll specially prepare some good nourishing foods for you." Zhu Wushang smile and walk toward the kitchen.
The couples looking at each other with a complicated smile. They are proud of their son.
From the start, Their son is a ridiculously fast learner and has a heaven-defying comprehension ability. What he had seen once or twice no matter how deep the principal or how hard to perform, as long as he can perform he can master it with 3 - 10 tries even improved it till perfection.
But… His body has a major flaw that could make him trash if he didn't have a heaven-defying learning and comprehension ability. His body doesn't have spirit-vein; the vital organ for all people in this world. This organ can't be seen with the naked eye even someone dissect them to pieces but can be sense and check with a spiritual sense. It's the only function is to supply the one that has it with Spiritual qi.
That's mean Zhu Wushang can't be a cultivator and he will forever be at the bottom of the food chain.
The couples always try to find a way to fix this shortcoming for their son. And this day is the last hope for them because they use all of their means and every favor they have to invite a great man over to their house to look at their son situation.
-----Zhu Wushang POV-----
It's been 12 years since I've come to this world. Yes, come to this world, It's not wrong to use this to describe me. Because after the first year since birth I have many bits and pieces of strange memories pop up in my head. These memories do not are very different from each other.
One time it's about I'm an inspector that try to uncover a dark secret of a cult in a world that's completely unfamiliar. Other time I'm an elite or high-rank officer that can give a command to fire an apocalypse maker that destroy all life with a searing light when it explodes the mushroom-like cloud follow. Sometimes time I'm a great merchant that has an organization of 100 thousand people around the world, my wealth is unimaginable.
Those memories have nothing to do with each other at all. It's like I'm an observer that saw those people live their lives and got fascinated by it. All the things I've seen in the memories is from the third person perspective, I saw how they live their lives and consequence of their action the outside factor of their lives, but I'm sure that's I'm not the one who's experiencing it like I live my own lives right now.
But, All of these memories help me a lot when it comes to judging someone character. I can sense if they can be trust or not. And it helps my mind to grow more mature than the child at the same age as mine.
I don't know what those memories is, but I know one thing. All the people I saw in those memories remnants, none of them had spirits vein. And there is no cultivator in those memories.
So I wonder if I came from that world? But Enough of my dilemma, right now I need to finish preparing this feast. I heard from Fatty that my godmother has come here from the imperial continent to celebrate my birthday so I need to do my best because this would be a grand feast for our family.
"Young master!" A familiar voice sounded. I look at the direction while tasting the soup in the tasting plate in my hand.
"What do you want? Fatty." I ask a fat boy who's running to me with an exciting smile.
"I heard that young master going to personally prepare the feast!!"
"And you want to to make sure it delicious by pre-tasting it first?" This thing always being his goal when he's coming here while I'm the one who's cooking the food.
"Ahahaha Young master always read my mind just like the great sage that can foresee heaven secrets." Fatty chuckling and rub his hand together with pleasure while flattering me.
"Stop flattering me fatty there's no additional portion for you even if you praise me to heaven." I told him in a matter of fact while fatty just shamelessly chuckling and shrug it off.
This is fatty, His name is Hong Paopao. He's the servant that hired by my father and come here when I was 4. He's my first friend even he's a servant and is 4 years older than me. At first, he didn't have the nickname fatty, He's even slim to the point of seeing his rib through his skin.
But after he gets the first taste of my food and become my assistant for taste testing my new dish. Like I had pushed the button that shouldn't be pushed in the dangerous tomb, His foodie spirits have been awakened. After that his food standard has significantly raised, He can't' help himself to give a critic to a bad food when he ate one, and it's usually escalated to a brawl when the chef that makes the food he ate can't take the critic.
His body becomes more and more obese until he becomes what he is today and gets a nickname .
I quickly finish preparing the food, this Jade tranquil soup that I cooked from the essence of 10 spirits vegetable and herbs mixed together is the last dish I need to finish while waiting for the honeyed roast spirits lake bird that I prepared. This bird I got from my father when he brings me to hunt a wild game in the outer rim of the Great forest of nowhere, and he hunts it for this special day. Other than this, I still got many spirits herbs and vegetable to use for my cooking.
I start to do the stir-fried spirits rice and control the flame with my hand and use my inner qi to control fire to be more precise to maintain the taste and freshness of the food while stir frying it.
Yes, I can only use inner qi which is the result of my research and comprehension toward the nature of spiritual qi in the hope that I can use spiritual qi even if it's an artificial one. The result made me realize that It's impossible to use it if I didn't have a spiritual root. But from what I understand, I had created a method to use inner qi which is the life force of every living being of this world.
This inner qi is far more inferior than spiritual qi more than heaven compared to earth. First, it can only enhance bodily function and strengthen it. I'm much faster, stronger and have sharper sense than mortal but I can't use the inner qi to create the element like fire water or electric. At most, I can only use the sword qi or finger qi strike from a short distance, no more 10 Meter.
The maximum extent of the inner Qi is equal to the peak of Spirits Warrior, which I already achieved. When I reached 14 years, I need to train my body the hard way to increase my strength further. But even I try my best, the maximum power that I can reach will never pass the primary stage of Spirits commander.
The only thing that I regret is that I can't use spiritual qi, Otherwise with this brain of mine, I could be able to many things that would make my family proud.
Enough of my dilemma. With fatty and other servants help. I quickly finish the rest of the task in the kitchen. I divide ⅓ of all the food for servant before I tell them to send the rest to the dining room in the main building.
I scoop up the soup with a ladle and pour it into a small bowl and give it to fatty.
"Fatty" I called.
"Thanks! young master." Fatty takes it without much decorum before I scoop up another small soup bowl for myself and eat with him.
Both of us enjoy the soup and talk about trivial things in the manor for a bit before I excused myself to go to the main building.
----------------
In the main building of the manor which is where my parent and I Iives. In the dining where many food and plate are placed and prepared neatly for every family member and guests. I'm looking at the figure of a gorgeous black hair girl in her early teens, and she's looking back at me with a beautiful smile.
Her name is Xiao Lan, She's older than me for two years, but she's usually acting like she's the younger one.
"Wushang!" She's walking toward me and hold my hand before asking.
"After the meal, come fishing with me at the lake. You had promised." She said.
Yes, I had promised her to fish with her at the Green lake since last week, but I heard that a very important guest would come to my birthday that's why I got busy with my dad to find some good ingredient to be used in this feast.
"OK" I responded with a noded.
She smiles and skipping to the side of a beautiful, voluptuous woman who's talking and giggling with my mother.
The woman is my godmother Qin Xue'er, she's working for the Great Phoenix Empire, I heard that she's working in the royal court, but I don't know specifically which position she's working. But, One time she wants the emperor to give me a decree to let me work as her personal chef, luckily the emperor didn't give her this decree. The woman that can request an Emperor of a nation to provide her with a decree she should be at least a minister that have many merits
I'm walking to my father that's talking with a handsome mustache man that always hides a disdain when he sees me within his eyes, He's the guardian of Xiao Lan and always stay at Xiao Lan side. He's not Xiao Lan father that's for sure, Because I never heard her ever called him father, at most she would call him uncle, but usually she would call him by his name, Wang Zhao that's his name.
This guy seems to be kind and upright but his eyes when he's looking at me tell me otherwise. He never hides his disdain and disgusting expression when there's only me, in my book an upright and kind man would never show contempt toward someone when they can't cultivate.
Something tells me that this guy can't be trusted.
----End of Zhu Wushang POV----
After everyone has gathered in the dining room. The honored guest finally arrived, this guest is a handsome and charismatic man in the luxurious gold-trimmed black robe, his finger adorned by many storage rings. He's walked inside the dining hall and greets everyone with his business-like smile.
"Sir Black Merchant! Please sit this feast will never disappoint you!" Qin Xue'er said with a polite tone.
"Thank you miss Qin" He's sitting at the head of the table which is exactly opposite from Zhu Wushang that's sitting at the other side of the table.
At the moment he's looking at Zhu Wushang, His eye constricted and the dreaded feeling slowly flowing from the deepest inner of his heart and soul, His hand shaking, his heart thumping in fear. He used all of his spiritual qi that barely suppressed it. Luckily he can still maintain his poker face until he calmed down.
[Who… the fuck... is that child? Is he born with an innate gift that can counter me? Or He actually that… no, It's impossible he shouldn't… I need to find out about this child ASAP] The black merchant thought while the cold sweat slowly come out from his back.
He had an idea on where this fear of him came from, but he didn't dare to think further because if it's true, that's the end of his freedom.
He smiles at everyone before nodding at Qin Xue'er to start the feast and keep this fearful thought of his at the back of his mind.
The fear that he felt is the thing that he swore to himself to find a source, and if possible eliminate it forever!
The dream of War and Peace, Love and Hatred, Courage and Cowardice, These dream are the things of wonder that leads to many rise and fall of many Heroes and empire.
Why are they fighting? What are they fighting for? Why are they protect others with their lives? How can they make the impossible possible? Why are they smile at the end of their little lives? These are the question that wonders it the most.
For countless eons passed, The cycle of rises and falls continue without stop. The things that make it wondering and fascinating continue to pile up more and more. It decides to experience these wonders.
The Omniverse comes to an end. The heinous horrendous being with unlimited power beyond mortal mind awoken amidst endless, boundless dark space with the infinite cycle of the creation and destruction of the countless star.
In this ultimate chaos, the supreme being is alone in the center of the endless ultimate chaos its mind reminiscence about the unknown things of wonders it had dreamt. The countless eon passed it reminiscence stopped.
It is starting to slumber again. This time it wanted to experience it wanted to know it wanted to live among its own creation.
This time, some of its servants and creations changed, some gain their freedom, some never came back from the omnicide. But the supreme being just didn't care it wants to sleep….

----------------
In the main building of the manor which is where my parent and I Iives. In the dining where many food and plate are placed and prepared neatly for every family member and guests. I'm looking at the figure of a gorgeous black hair girl in her early teens, and she's looking back at me with a beautiful smile.
Her name is Xiao Lan, She's older than me for two years, but she's usually acting like she's the younger one.
"Wushang!" She's walking toward me and hold my hand before asking.
"After the meal, come fishing with me at the lake. You had promised." She said.
Yes, I had promised her to fish with her at the Green lake since last week, but I heard that a very important guest would come to my birthday that's why I got busy with my dad to find some good ingredient to be used in this feast.
"OK" I responded with a noded.
She smiles and skipping to the side of a beautiful, voluptuous woman who's talking and giggling with my mother.
The woman is my godmother Qin Xue'er, she's working for the Great Phoenix Empire, I heard that she's working in the royal court, but I don't know specifically which position she's working. But, One time she wants the emperor to give me a decree to let me work as her personal chef, luckily the emperor didn't give her this decree. The woman that can request an Emperor of a nation to provide her with a decree she should be at least a minister that have many merits
I'm walking to my father that's talking with a handsome mustache man that always hides a disdain when he sees me within his eyes, He's the guardian of Xiao Lan and always stay at Xiao Lan side. He's not Xiao Lan father that's for sure, Because I never heard her ever called him father, at most she would call him uncle, but usually she would call him by his name, Wang Zhao that's his name.
This guy seems to be kind and upright but his eyes when he's looking at me tell me otherwise. He never hides his disdain and disgusting expression when there's only me, in my book an upright and kind man would never show contempt toward someone when they can't cultivate.
Something tells me that this guy can't be trusted.
----End of Zhu Wushang POV----
After everyone has gathered in the dining room. The honored guest finally arrived, this guest is a handsome and charismatic man in the luxurious gold-trimmed black robe, his finger adorned by many storage rings. He's walked inside the dining hall and greets everyone with his business-like smile.
"Sir Black Merchant! Please sit this feast will never disappoint you!" Qin Xue'er said with a polite tone.
"Thank you miss Qin" He's sitting at the head of the table which is exactly opposite from Zhu Wushang that's sitting at the other side of the table.
At the moment he's looking at Zhu Wushang, His eye constricted and the dreaded feeling slowly flowing from the deepest inner of his heart and soul, His hand shaking, his heart thumping in fear. He used all of his spiritual qi that barely suppressed it. Luckily he can still maintain his poker face until he calmed down.
[Who… the fuck... is that child? Is he born with an innate gift that can counter me? Or He actually that… no, It's impossible he shouldn't… I need to find out about this child ASAP] The black merchant thought while the cold sweat slowly come out from his back.
He had an idea on where this fear of him came from, but he didn't dare to think further because if it's true, that's the end of his freedom.
He smiles at everyone before nodding at Qin Xue'er to start the feast and keep this fearful thought of his at the back of his mind.
The fear that he felt is the thing that he swore to himself to find a source, and if possible eliminate it forever!
