Side story

The Martial-verse, a universe with a different set of laws when compared to that of the Universe which Earth belongs to...

Unlike that Universe, the Martial-verse comprises of special energies which can be utilised by the inhabitants of the various civilisations it holds.

With this in mind, let's take a brief look into the history of the Martial-verse which expanded infinitely.

For a billion years or so, the multiverse was the supposed sandbox for the members of the "Primordial" race. A race that has the same number of people who live in the Vatican(825)... now minus eight hundred twenty from it, so in other words... very little.

But despite this, they were unimaginably strong and worshipped as Gods by all mortal races in their respective Universes, although... the beings themselves tend to distance themselves from the affairs of the mortal world, only appearing when they deemed a Universe was no longer capable of functioning or... when they need to make a new Universe, because why not?

The existence of the Martial-verse relied solely based on the fact that the Primordials were bored, disgustingly so...

So with all of their intellectual abilities into play, the Primordials created this one Universe, capable of creating beings as powerful as they were.

But... even Primordials in the end, could not foresee that they were to be erased from history... almost as if someone were to press the [Delete] key...

By creating a Universe capable of producing beings as powerful as they were, the Primordials had to sacrifice their respective powers, leaving only a single Primordial alive to keep the balance of the Multiverse, even that... with the loss of his true immortality...

With their powers now being contained in the midst of all energies needed to create a universe, it... exploded... with passion!

A few hundred million years after the Martial-verse cooled down, came the Era of True Beginning. The universe was filled with energy, but some areas with more than the others...

This created the realms, a cluster of galaxies that was divided by a demarcation known as the "Dark space", it helped keep the infinite number of realms from colliding against another.

Little by little, as time passed on, the various planets gifted with greenery and waterways, formed beings with sentience...

The Era of Prosperity came after a billion years... with various planets now being occupied by the sentient races, they finally discovered the energy within them.

Architecture, Science, Astrology, all kinds of various subjects that most people haven't even heard of boomed in terms of research.

But as all things go good, you just have an itch to raise flags that might end up ruining everything...

"Nothing will definitely go wrong..." Said the first emperor of the Divine Fox Empire.

And that's where everything went wrong. With more beings in the universe... at least in realms, there was less material for people to gra- I mean... take.

Wars erupted, destroying whatever civilisations were existing at the time, but if there is anything history had taught us, it was that humans are persistent creatures, similar to cockroaches...

And so, humanity began to rise... The Second Era of Prosperity, now with much more enhanced ways of using the energy within them, which they call "Qi" or "Chi", both are correct, let's just say it's a dialect...

"Umm... master?"

"Yes my cute little disciple!"

"I... I don't understand anything..."

"... it's fine, that was probably my fault..."

"Oh... okay!"

'Sometimes I wonder if the reason why I took her in was really because of her talent or just me giving into my inner desires...'
