Book 11: Chapter 18: To Be (3)
“The Jafari Clan mastered spatial and time will in ways no one had ever done before. In the past, use of wills wasn’t so sophisticated. Many viewed wills as simple power boosts and always developed them along that path. It wasn’t until the Warring and Golden Eras that cultivators began to comprehend their wills with their own unique finesse and flair as the Jafari Clan did.
“Due to them, the humans once more gained equal footing with beasts. It was then that many began to think that many a new pinnacle race was appearing.
“However everything changed after their Origin Ancestor transcended. For some reason, the name of such a powerful man was lost in history, and his Clan quickly followed suit.”
These words once more caused a bomb to go off in Dyon’s mind.
What if it wasn’t that no one had ever built an Emperor God Clan in a single lifetime before, but rather that no one remember them doing so?
Abraxus’ name was expunged from history because he managed to perfect his mortal body before transcending! That must be it!
“We became very lucky as a result of this and managed to lay our hands on the favorite treasure of Jafari Clan. This allowed us some extra strength, but we were forced to hide it. After all, the Jafari Clan treasure was something even those Star Grade Empire powerhouses coveted. So, even though we lay hands on it, it was something we kept hidden and would only use in the most dire of circumstances.
“Like this, the Warring Era continued without a clear victor. We even suffered quite a bit, almost falling to the 5th Level Planet Grade several times.
“It was then that a drastic change occurred. Much like the Origin Ancestor of the Jafari Clan, this man’s name was lost in time… We only know him as the only man the Holy Goddess ever loved…”
Dyon frown deepened. They didn’t know this man’s name, but they knew this Holy Goddess… Doesn’t that mean the Holy Goddess either failed to transcend or formed a Faith Seed in the end?
“His meteoric rise was even fiercer than the Jafari Origin Ancestor. With his own strength, he forced countless to fear him. If it wasn’t because he was completely uninterested in forming a Clan, many believed he may have become the first to unite the mortal plane as one.
“Instead, he arrogantly faced those who wielded Faith with disdain. In fact, he considered it to be a handicap his opponents needed…
“For whatever reason, the transcendence of this arrogant Ancestor was far more shocking than anything the mortal plane had every witnessed before, even the Ancestor himself was shocked and confused by what was happening.
“Due to the enemies he had created due to his arrogance, many had come to assault him as he climbed his Heaven’s Staircase.”
Dyon nodded silently. Unlike other tribulations, the final one of the mortal plane allowed others to interfere as they pleased. This was what Orcus blamed for his injured foundation. As a result of the attacks he faced, he was forever unable to transcend in his lifetime. He had no choice in the end but to seal himself and wait for another opportunity.
“The arrogant Ancestor boldly climbed his steps, shattering the attempts of his enemies to thwart his path, but the further he climbed, the stronger the trembling of the mortal plane became.
“Eventually, many thought that the mortal plane itself would collapse. There wasn’t a single corner of that was unaffected. During those years he challenge his 9999 steps, countless universes collapsed in on themselves. The death toll was unimaginable.”
‘Months?’ Dyon’s eyes widened. The ascension of his wives took days at most. But this Ancestor’s took years?
And during all that time, he had to face countless outside attacks while never taking a step off of his path forward… Just what kind of pressure did he face?
“However, it was this that gave our elven and dwarven Clan an opportunity of a lifetime.
“For whatever reason, the arrogant Ancestor’s ascension disrupted the fabric of time and space itself. Many speculated that this wasn’t a simply related to the Ancestor alone. The only explanation was that his ascension was a critical point in the mortal plane’s timeline. Who knew what happened in the past or future to make it so that reality itself didn’t want him to transcend?
“This became an opportunity the likes of which we couldn’t imagine. With the mortal plane collapsing, the barrier between us and other fabrics of reality wavered.
“For others, it was impossible to even sense these changes, however our Clan had been studying the Jafari Clan treasure for generations already.
“Since others were completely focused on the battle between the arrogant Ancestor and those supreme Star Grade Empires, they had little time to pay to us. After all, we were a pitifully small Clan in their eyes.
“Due to the violent changes in space and time, we were able to activate the Jafari Clan treasure without anyone knowing and enter a completely new Reality!
“The World Tree wasn’t actually the first lifeforms we encountered… We lost many elders in those times, but we persevered. We knew that this was the only chance we would ever get to reach the pinnacle.
“During that time, we found numerous novel resources and created permanent bridges to worlds that had comparatively less danger in them…
“After months of trial and error, we finally found the World Tree.
“It was a world where the pinnacle species were Spiritual Plants, and their subordinate races were the Fairies.
“It was then that an exchange occurred between our two worlds. This was how our races came to be.”
