Overthrowing The Heavens

In a realm known as the Ninth Heavens, there existed the Twenty-Eight Mansions and four Sacred Lands, each named after the mythic creatures: Azure Dragon of the East, Black Tortoise of the North, White Tiger of the West, and Vermillion Bird of the South. The Sacred Lands were governed by Seven Mansions each, responsible for their guardianship. Long ago, an ancient war erupted due to envy among the lower Heavens. This catastrophic conflict claimed the lives of the Dao proven, Masters at the Peak, and nearly all Transcendence beings, leaving thousands of Realms in turmoil for millennia. After the war, the Twenty-Eight Mansions reached an agreement to prevent inter-Mansion warfare and thwart the ambitions of the lower Heavens. Recovery from the war required immense time, and the Mansions needed Centamillennium to heal. To prevent the rise of a new Dao proven, many Mansions designated chosen ones to receive resources, aiming to reach a level close to Dao proven. The Ninth Heaven awaited the birth of a new Dao proven, but it never occurred. Some claimed the Ninth Heaven had lost its vitality, rendering Dao proven births impossible. However, a Dao proven's birth was said to trigger a harmonious melody heard across the Heavens, initiating an immense earthquake representing Heaven's dance. In the Bi Mansion, a prediction foretold the birth of a son with great potential, but also great danger. The child, named Bi Fang When Bi Fang was born, the predicted events unfolded. The Elderly Man who had foreseen this gave instructions to the Bi family. The infant Bi Fang was given a protective necklace and was saved from danger by his protector. To ensure his safety, he would be sent to the lower Worlds alongside his protector. The story unfolds as Bi Fang begins his life in a new realm, unknowingly carrying great potential and danger, and as those who watched over him navigate their own challenges and mysteries.

Chapter 1

The Ninth Heavens, the homes of the Twenty-Eight Mansions and the four Sacred lands which are named as the Azure Dragon of the East, Black Tortoise of the North, White Tiger of the West, Vermillion Bird of the South.

On each Sacred Land there are Seven Mansions that are in control and responsible of the Sacred Land. Many of the lower Heavens were envious of the Sacred Lands, which led to a war in Ancient times that killed all the Dao proven, which were all Masters at the Peak and almost all Transcendence and destroyed thousands of Realms, which are still in a state of turmoil after many millenia. After the Ancient war came to an end the Twenty-Eight Mansions quickly came to an agreement that under no circumstances a war should break out between the Mansions, which would then result that the lower Heavens tries to take advantage of the situation to overthrow many of the Twenty-Eight Mansions. The Mansions casualties are enormous, the many Dao proven who were the foundation of the Ninth Heaven got killed. However the Mansions were also happy that the Dao proven from the Ancient Era got killed, because each of the Dao proven was very dominant and greedy and would act like a King wherever they went. As the saying goes those with the strongest fist have to say. The Dao proven are older than many Realms and they have been here for an unknown period of time. The records started from the Ancient Era. As the Dao-proven were uninterested and wanted nothing to do with them, which led to the fear of being betrayed. One of the many Dao proven was an Ancestor of the Shen Mansion, who was the youngest one Dao proven among them, he was a righteous man who believed that every being is equal, the Ancient Dao proven that tried to humiliate the Mansions always got stopped by the Shen Mansions Ancestor. The Ancient Dao proven did not dare to do anything because he knew he wouldn't be unharmed if a fight broke out. However the Ancestor of the Shen Mansion died alongside the other Ancient Dao proven who protected the Ninth Heaven.

The Mansions would need Centamillenium of time to recover from the many casualties. As to the Dao-proven, no one knew how much time they needed to wait until the birth of a new Dao-proven. Many Mansions did not want the birth of another Dao-proven however they knew once a Dao-proven appeared of the lower Heavens they would be doomed. That was why in each generation there would always be a chosen one in each Mansion that would get almost all resources of the Mansion to help him reach the Dao-proven Realm or anything almost as near as that.

Everytime someone from a Mansion gave birth they all prayed that the Ninth Heaven would give them their blessing to birth a Dao-proven.

Many Transcendence claimed, that the Ninth Heaven lost its Vitality and needed time to recover from it, and that why the Ninth Heaven couldn't birth another Dao-proven

Nevertheless after the Ancient War there was no birth of a new Dao-proven.

They read from Ancient transcripts, that once a Dao-proven will be born, the Ninth Heaven would give a harmonious melody, which would be heard across the Heavens and it would start an enormous earthquake, that represents Heaven dancing.

After a few Millennia the Wife from the current Bi Mansion patriarch, Bi Ya is pregnant with a son.

The Patriarch Bi Hu and Bi Ya went to an old man who is a predictor. After arriving at a wooden hat hutch, it looked like the old man already expected their arrival and prepared a cup of tea for each. As the Patriarch didn´t say anything, the old man decided to start the conversation with his old and itchy voice "ahem, so why is the Bi Mansions Patriarch visiting an old man like me?". The Patriarch already knew that the old man knows everything "Old man, I know that you already have the information about my Wife. We came here today, to ask about our son's future, will he be a mere true God or reach the Transcendence Realm". The Old man walked towards Bi Yu, and touched her belly. The moment the Old man took his Hand away, he couldn't help but smile, even though he smiled, he began to shed tears after. The Patriarch couldn't help but shout with a loud voice "What is it Old man! Is it now good or bad!"

The Old man couldn't stop himself from shedding tears however he said with a serious tone "Bi Hu, your Son is someone with great Potential, no, he's someone who can be called a prodigy, however many people will be envious of him and many will try to take his Life, not in the near future, but the moment he steps foot into this World.". The Patriarch looked terrified at the Old man and couldn't stop shivering "Is there a way to survive this catastrophe, if yes please tell me immediately!" Bi Hu couldn´t stop himself from screaming at the old man. The Old man said "there may be a way, however it costs many of your People's Lives. There should always be an Dao-proven Master by your Wifes and your Sons side, and the moment your Wife gives Birth to him, you should directly send him to the lower Worlds alongside his protector. It can't be anybody else but his protector. If you or your Wife goes along with him, you might be the reason, that he will be doomed. After the Birth you should spread the information, that you gave birth to a son with talent, that could topple the Heaven, however how could the Heavens allow something like that, also spread a rumor, that the Heavens were Jealous of your Son and killed him."

Both the Patriarch and the Wife couldn't help but cry. Bi Ya was speechless, her first and maybe only son will be targeted, the moment he steps foot into this World. Bi Hu needed to pull himself together and prepare. "Thank you for your precious information Old man, i don't know how to thank you, if you need anything else just show this towards the front guard, and he´ll know what it means." After he gave the Old man a token with the name Bi on it, He cupped his hand and left quickly with his wife.

After the Both of them left, he stared into the horizon and couldn't help but smile widely.

"after so many years the Ninth Heaven will finally have a new Guardian, how many years has it been since i secluded myself from the Outside World, sigh , i should give the little one a parting gift, hmm , or should i follow him on his journey, hahahaaha." The old man couldn't stop laughing after such an occurrence.
