Chapter 1399 killing The Light (3)
The space of a material universe was not made for carrying the weight of higher dimensional immortals, and the space of Vyraak Dominion had lasted so long in the presence of so many higher dimensional immortals because of the great investment of the Vyraak Dominion in strengthening their universe to hold so many God Kings and lesser immortals, an average universe may hold a dozen God Kings, Vyraak Dominion held millions.
Although they had not brazenly conquered other universes to enrich their own, they had been the dominant force in this area for many Minor Eras, and other universes were basically subservient to them, making it easier for them to harvest the remnants of those universe's Wills when their lifespan came to an end, enriching the Vyraak Dominion.
Vyraak had a dream, one that he shared with the excited universe. He was going to make his universe the first lower realm to ascend to the higher realms. He would not be leaving his home behind, he would be taking it with him. Her glory was going to be one that would be seen by all of existence, and the Vyraak Dominion would be the one place where true majesty was born. Ah, that dream had been glorious. The thought of it was an endless source of motivation to him, but now...
All of their glory was lost; his dreams were dust, yet they could shine one last time on the body of Vyraak. He could carry them on his body, he could show all of reality what could have been. In his heart, he whispered, 'Come to me...'
The bones of the dragon were crammed full of every foundational element of the Universe, reinforcing it a thousand times over. New flesh covered his body made from the stars and the earth, of everything that once gave his universe life, and he began to shine with all the colors that his universe had once held. A light that almost equaled what was arising from the body of the growing Seraphim.
All of these changes in the dragon brought with it a massive influx of Memories from his entire universe, so many that it almost drowned his mind, and for a moment, he let himself sink into one of them.
Vyraak opened his eyes, and he was standing on a field of flowers, watching the most beautiful sunset he had ever seen; this was the day he was to become a god. On the first day that he entered the road of cultivation, it had been before sunset, just like this one.
Pushing aside all traditions about the path of power, Vyraak, transforming from a mortal to a god, took less time than anyone could have ever imagined when the time he used for cultivating his powers was less than a decade.
He stood before the setting sun, a god at the age of sixteen. He began cultivating when he was six years old using ancient parchments he found in the river, containing incomplete information about the path of godhood. Most of its contents were rubbish, but certain parts of it were enough for him to find Aether for the first time and draw it into his body. It was that first feeling of power and change, which was almost orgasmic in its intensity, that convinced Vyraak that he would be walking this path all his life.
With such a shaky foundation derived from an incomplete manuscript, he should have died a thousand times over on his way to immortality, but the world itself loved him. Every danger he faced became an opportunity, every pitfall a source of upliftment, and his broken foundations became the pillars that built up his strength, in time his enemies could only watch him grow so quickly that they were left far behind in his dust, and his growth never slowed, never stopped, even when he journeyed into the stars to become a greater god.
He met many friends, found lovers, and had children, but his greatest love remained the world that had nurtured and guided him from his birth, and when he left for the stars, this love was transferred to everything that his eyes could see, for his streak of luck never ended even after he left the world of his birth. Every time he touched Aether, he was reminded of this love.
For so long, so many people tried to find the source of his progress and define the particular ingredient that made him great. He was never shy to reveal the truth, and yet few believed him; they could not see that the world around them was alive in a way that they could never imagine.
