1 Dead and reincarnation

Tao was of a commoner descent in the warring era, he was born into a farming village in a common farmer family, at first he thought that he would become a farmer all his life until the war started and the kingdom recruited all the able young man including himself.

At first tao don't have any intention to become a soldier and prefered to became a farmer and be surrounded by nature, but because of war he was forced to leave his home and become a refugee in another place, because of his status as refugee he was not allowed to have his own land and thus he can't farm and in the end in order to support his family he can only search for another work, in this era where war happen on almost a daily basis searching for work that was not soldier was hard and almost impossible especially for commoner like him, without any other way tao chose to become a soldier.

On his first year as a soldier he almost died countless of time yet he was still alive albeit suffering many injury, on his second year as a soldier he became a captain for ten-man squad, and on his third he became a captain for thousand-men all the way until on his thirty years where he become the first commoner to become a general, but because of his status as commoner all the other general isolated him and in turn it caused him to almost died in every war because there was almost no reinforcement everytime he go to war yet he always survive and make a great merit and elevated his status.

Ten years later he become the first great general of the kingdom and was famous throughout the land, everytime he goes to war his enemy would tremble in his presence while his allies morale would soar, unfortunately for him because of man envy and greed he was framed and executed along his entire family but because he never married and his only families was his parent that was already long dead he was executed all alone, before he died he looked toward his subordinate who was ready to save him and shake his head as he murmured "no", then he looked toward the clear blue sky as he closed his eyes and let out a little smile "l only wish for a carefree life and be surrounded by nature, and it was impossible in this life but if there was a next life l wist to fulfil this wish of mine"

A few years after his execution his loyal subordinate started a coup and killed everyone that was involved in his framing including the king, after the coup his subordinate created a statue and temple in worship of his deeds, his subordinate and all the people in the kingdom worshiped his statue as a god of war and harvest and it became such because of his achievement on the battlefield and because in his youth he was a farmer, while his temple where his statue reside was named as the temple of tao after his name.

Purgatory, a place neither hell nor heaven a place of infinite darkness and nothingness, since the birth of the universe this place was a place for all of the soul that don't have a destination until the days they will be reincarnated.

All the soul in purgatory have the shape of fire but their size and color was different, there was a soul with a red colour and the size of house while other have the same colour but the size of thumb while some have other colours and sizes, but among the countless soul in purgatory there was one that was far far bigger than the other, it have the size of sun with many colours but the most pronounced one among the countless colour was green, deep red and golden colour.

One day a being that was not a soul arrived at purgatory, the being arrived far from the largest soul so he didn't see it at first. After artiving the being looked toward a soul that was the size of mountain with black colour "this one commited to many sin of killing for personal gain, sentenced to the seven hell" after saying that he waved his hand toward the said soul and it vanished, the being then looked toward another soul judged the soul and waved his hand.

After judging countless soul the being noticed the giant soul, he moved toward the giant soul and he was shocked at it size and colour, he looked toward the soul as he went deep in thought before he started to judge the soul "this one commited the good deed of prosperising the nature, yet he also commited too many sin of killing in war, at the same time he also gained some divinitt after being worshipped by many, l can't judge this one yet l must reincarnate him"

The being fall back in thought as he don't know what he should do and in the end he just shake his head and ignored it to judge the other soul and only leaving the giant soul alone as he vanished from the purgatory.

After the being left purgatory and never gone back for a long time the giant started to change colour Into the colour of gold little by little and started to grow bigger and bigger, eventually It colour all become gold and it size was so big it was like heaven and earth when compared to it previous size.

Just as all of it colour changed into gold it started to vanish little by little and before it completely vanished the being appeared again and saw the vanished soul, the being looked at the vanished in shockand come out of it after all of the soul vanished completely, the being looked toward where the giant soul previously was and shake his head "let it be, it already vanished and come out of this universe reincarnation cycle" then he went back on judging the other soul.

The giant soul arrived at new universe that was bigger and stronger also more stable than his previous universe, the soul then reincarnated into one of the countless planet in this universe.

In some hidden place on the new universe there was a vast land that was like paradise, and on these land there was a giant and grand castle, inside the castle there was two people sitting on a magnificent throneand when the giant soul arrived at this new universe the two people was the only being in this new universe that was alerted and aware of the coming of the giant soul.

When the giant soul arrived the two people looked at each other and saw the shocked look in each other eyes, one of the two people opened his mouth and said "that was a soul right?"

"uh.... yes?..... Probably?...."

"no that was indeed a soul right?...."

"yeah... But how come it was so big? Furthemore it already gained a divinity? Whats more how come it suddenly appear?"

"if you ask me who should l ask? Let's go we should look into it"

"okay, let's go"

The two people then vanished from the castle and appeared in the place where the giant soul first appeared, the two looked around and become even more shocked "tha... Tha...tha...that....that...that soul come fron the lower universe!!!!" said one of the two toward the other, while the other only nodded stiffly "yeah..." then the two looked toward the planet where the giant soul reincarnated into and turned silent, until one of them opened their mouth and said with a wry smile "it seem we will have a new brother"

"...or sister" said the other one, they then looked at each other and laughed before going back to their castle.
