1 Ayensi Sole Tiowen seeking Servants

Phew!* a sharp light traversed in the void of the black infinitesimal space, piercing an unknown creature right through, it looked like a whale at first but bigger, its scales had a luster black color shaded on it that reflected the white star near them.

If there was a medium for the despairing cry of that unknown creature to resound, space would quake from its mere shrill.

No blood came out of the unknown creature's body, but soon after the sharp light pierced it, it terrifyingly turned into ashes then into nothingness in the voidness of the space.

Following the path where the sharp light came from was unbelievably from the fingertips of a pretty boy with a long white hair tied as a ponytail, wearing an admiral's suit with a long untainted white coat.

With his fingers' shape formed like a gun, with two fingertips pointed at where the unknown creature was while being supported by his other hand. His narrow blue eyes with long white eyelashes and sharp eyebrows are staring at his pointed thumb as if it was some scope guide of a real gun.

After a few moments, space itself shook and trembled. The tremor was caused by the space ripping apart, creating a huge hole and slowly came out many of the unknown massive creatures. Compared to the huge hole, these massive creatures looked like ants that came crawling out in thousands of numbers.

Standing on a spacecraft with a length of more than a kilometer and a height of fifty stories, the pretty guy smirked, "Gatious, one of the superior being created by God, was seen as just a myth, but now, they looked like insects crawling out of a hole.", he whispered, " Phew"

"Phew phew phew phew phew.", every word that came out of his mouth instantaneously brought out tremendous energy from his fingertips that lit up space and the spacecraft white.

The sharp light from before couldn't compare to these few that took out more than a hundred Gatious each, cleaning the area near the space gate! Ashes spread everywhere.

Firing this tremendous energy that could almost compare to an explosion of a white star made the pretty guy sweated only a drop. He wiped it off his forehead and with a sigh, he said with a proud and confident smile, "Whew! Now that I can assume that I am literally the strongest being alive, I should find some subordinates to fill this ship up. Hiyahiyahiyahiya!", with a quick laugh, he put down his hand and lightly stomp on the spacecraft he was standing as if there was gravity pulling him down.

"Now, now, where do I start my search? The universe is so vast for me to find all the talents I needed, I don't have enough time and the perfect candidates may die in a long time if not nurtured properly.", he looked around, indifferent to the radiation from the near white sun. Everywhere he looked were just dots twinkling, it's too far away to see but when he narrowed his eyes furthermore, with a solemn expression, his sight traveled faster than light and reach the nearest planet that has abundant of energy swirling around it.

"Perfect! Not too far away, might reach it in less than an hour.", he said as he jumped on a door that happened to open conveniently for him.

He landed inside the room that was lit by the bright wide monitors showing countless codes and the current location that the spacecraft was at. On top of the monitors were huge glasses that revealed the white sun on the side and behind was the boundless space were a sea of stars float around.

Strangely enough, even though this was the control room, there is nothing but the monitors and a grandiose chair in the middle of the control room. There is nothing that could be said that can control the spacecraft, no buttons, no keyboards, no switches, not even hologramic controls.

He just sat on the grandiose chair and with a thought, the spacecraft itself moved towards the location of his desired planet, "Hiyahiyahiyahiya! I, the Great Ayensi Sole Tiowen, shall prove to Him that He made a wrong choice! I have finished the first phase and now, it's the second phase of the plan, finding talents that can be worthy enough to clean my shoes for me!", satisfied what he said, he thought, 'and I can finally not be alone after these countless years of pursuing strength.', he clenched his fist as he felt a tingling sensation inside his chest.

"Haaa~", Ayensi Sole Tiowen deeply exhaled, "That was fun, getting myself into the appropriate character befitting as the strongest being.", he smirked.

"Now then, I should rest, for the time being, an hour is enough for me to dream.", at the same time he laid back and peacefully closed his eyes, the space in front of warped, revealing that the spacecraft was now traveling, jumping from space to space!

.....

Ayensi Sole Tiowen's destination, a planet in an unnamed solar system in an unnamed galaxy, the planet is called the Land of Power or Elpi.

The Land of Power was a world of cultivation. People living in there are no different to a normal human except for the ability to cultivate their own energy into a higher level by any means. It is not like they all want to cultivate, although those who chose not to cultivate are the minority, they are still forced to for the sake of survival.

In Elpi, there are strange creatures living and threatening humanity day by day in the wild. Some were tamed and some were hunt but some killed thousands of people or destroyed a whole city. These kind of beast are very exceptionally, having an intellect not less than the people living there.

Geniuses and Powerhouses gathered and team up to raid these beasts and only resulted in complete annihilation if not successful.

Other than beasts threatening mankind, there are also the Demon Race who came from the earth, waging wars at the "Human Race" and wanting the position of absolute control over the world.

Therefore, cultivating is not some hobby or some choice but it was necessary to live. Those who are considered geniuses are given special treatment by the world and those who are considered trash should work for those who are facing demons and beasts in a death battle.

Since this is how this world, Elpi, works, those who have supreme cultivation and has the strength are all influential and are in power at the very top, controlling everything.

These are the Three Emperors and One Empress from the four continents, the Nine Sages that lived for thousands of years, the Thirteen Guardians that inherited power and the position to protect this world from absolute danger, the Seven Patriarchs of families who have special bloodline; producing talent for generations, and lastly, the Two Saints who were revered as heroes who accomplished something that greatly helped mankind.

These thirty-five people were considered as the strongest and the reason why potent beasts and the Demon Race had yet to devour the Land.

As of now, one of the Nine Sages, an old man wearing a monk's outfit, who was meditating peacefully atop a high cliff with the background of a golden temple on top of the mountain suddenly shivered.

The thought of fear had yet to sink in his heart as he sweated and breathed more heavily as time passes. Although his expression is pale, he calmly held his chest and said, "What is this? For the past centuries, I have not felt this such sensation. Even in front of the Demon King or in front of the other thirty-four or in front of that Demon Beast, I have not felt this. Is this fear?", his eyes that had a placid ocean waving calmly, looked at the peaceful blue sky with terror, "I... I have to report this immediately.", he shivered relentlessly as he stood up and brought out a piece of paper out of his chest.

The piece of paper floated in the air and the Sage wrote something in it with his shivering hands.

|Emperor of the South, Emperor Wang Song;

There is something that will come down from the sky. It shall even be more fearful than the Demon Beast that showed its might in the world.

This is an emergency. Request the others to meet up.|

.....

"Hmmm? Is this from Sage Tai Shi?", Emperor Wang Song was reading the letter brought by the receiver in his hands with a stern expression, "I know this power is from his but the way he wrote it is very unlike him... No respect, no calmness, and it was not even written properly with sloppy writing. What does this mean?"

Emperor Wang Song was currently sitting in the throne chair, alone in the throne room.

"But this makes it more serious.", he looked at the front black metal door of the throne room.

"Someone, bring me the Communication Orb!", he ordered inside the throne room even though it seemed that he was alone but in the next moment, a shadow appeared in front of him and handed him a blue orb on top of the red pillow.

"Don't just hold it like that, put a table in here.", he looked down on the shadow and it nodded, and instantaneously, a second shadow appeared and placed a small round table in front of the Emperor. That shadow disappeared and the first shadow followed after gently placing the Communication Orb on top of the table.

Emperor Wang Song stared at the blue orb and with a thought, the Communication Orb lit up and relentlessly blink until a voice came out.

"Emperor Wang Song, it's rare for you to reach us like this. Is it perhaps an emergency?", a gentleman's voice spoke up within the orb while it lit up green.

"Yes, Emperor of the North, Emperor Wei Liang, but let us wait for the other two before I speak my intention."

"Very well.", Emperor Wei Liang did not object.

Not long after, the orb lit up red and a woman's voice sounded, "What is this about? What news is there?"

Emperor Wang Song relaxed a bit after hearing this woman's voice, "Empress Ai Mu, Empress of the East, let us wait for Emperor Sheng Ju Long."

Empress Ai Mu did not speak but agreed in silent.

Once again, the orb lit up yellow right after, "No need to wait, I, Emperor of the West, Emperor Sheng Ju Long am already here. If it is an emergency, please make haste."

Emperor Wang Song nodded. The other three already knew that it was an emergency since the Communication Orb was left untouched for decades and was only used for certain events like the sudden appearance of that Demon Beast.

"The reason I called you is that Sage Tai Shi wrote an immediate letter to me and it goes like this...", he read the letter once more for the other three to hear, it was very short so t was not long after the others reacted. After reading the letter, Emperor Wang Song commented, "It has sloppy writing, very unlike Sage Tai Shi."

"Yes, that is true, it was not even proper."

"This just makes it more serious."

"Is that all? Did he not give any other details?"

The Communication Orb lit up from green to yellow and to red.

"No, that is all.", Emperor Wang Song shook his head.

"The letter says all the important parts except where exactly to meet up.", the orb lit yellow, signifying it was Emperor Sheng Ju Long who spoke.

"This is strange, we all know for sure that all the Sages all placid in front of danger but why does Sage Tai Shi say it was more fearful than that Demon Beast?", the orb lit up red, Empress Ai Mu said in a worried tone.

"On top of that, it came from the sky. All that threatened us, the Human Race, came from the earth. This is the first.", the orb then lit up green, Emperor Wei Liang said in a puzzled tone.

"But the most important factor is that he says it is more fearful than that Demon Beast. It needed me and Emperor Sheng Ju Long, along with three of the Nine Sages, one from the Thirteen Guardians, and two of the Seven Legacy Patriarchs, with eight powerhouses in total to barely detain that Demon Beast.", Emperor Wang Song's stern expression worsened as his forehead wrinkled even more.

"I suggest that we first meet up with enough reinforcement?", Emperor Wei Lang calmly suggested.

"Hmm that is right, we need to be careful.", Empress Ai Mu agreed without hesitation.

"Yes, his may threaten the world so we must make some immediate decisions.", Emperor Sheng Ju Long also agreed.

"It was not even a century when that Demon Beast appeared and now this?", Empress Ai Mu expressed her displeasantness.

"....", but Emperor Wang Song was silent.

After a few moments, Emperor Wei Liang asked, "Emperor Wang Song, what is with the sudden silence?"

Emperor Wang Song looked at the orb that lit green with sweat tickling on his forehead, "I think I know where we should meet up. I sense the presence of three of the Thirteen Guardians nearby. You all should immediately prepare and pass this to others. Matters are getting more serious."

The other three was silent. Three of the Thirteen Guardians actually gathered? When the Demon Beast appeared, one of the Thirteen Guardians only showed up.

More fearful than the Demon Beast...

The Demon Beast that crawled out of a massive active volcano, spewing molten rocks everywhere sixty years ago in the west. It shook the earth, erupted many volcanoes, and made the seas devour the land. Just from its appearance, there are already this much casualties

The Demon Beast has a humanoid form, an aura of a demon, and an appearance of a beast. Nobody knew what it is or where exactly it came from, therefore, they called it Demon Beast.

The nearest powerhouses back then gathered: two Emperors, three Sages, one of the Thirteen Guardians which arrived late, and two Patriarchs although there are some knights and powerful cultivators, they contributed none in the battle against that Demon Beast. The battle between these eight and the Demon Beast was gruesome as the Demon Beast almost killed a patriarch but because of one of the Thirteen Guardians controlled the tides of the battle that the patriarch survived with only a few minor injuries which recovered after years.

Led by one of the Thirteen Guardians, they barely detained the Demon Beast and bound it inside the earth after using some complex spells that the other seven only helped the Guardian with.

The other Guardians who also nearby chose not to meddle in the battle as they have absolute confidence for their own kind. Trying to interfere would make them leave their posts.

After that, that one of the Thirteen Guardian, the Guardian of the Earth, took responsibility of guarding the Demon Beast that was bound in the earth in the west.

However, three of the Thirteen Guardians already gathered in one spot before even anything happened. Maybe the danger can actually threaten the existence of humanity?

"Then I shall leave, we'll meet up later.", Emperor Wei Liang surprisingly was first to take a leave and then was followed by Empress Ai Mu and Emperor Sheng Ju Long. But before Emperor Sheng Ju Long left the Communication Orb, Emperor Weng Song said, "You should really hurry up. Six of the Thirteen Guardians are already here."

"....", Emperor Sheng Ju Long was quiet, the yellow light just disappeared in the Communication Orb.

Emperor Weng Song stood up and said, "Evacuation would take too long, operate the barrier around the capital city now!"

Without a pause, he followed up with an order, "Bring me my Golden Heaven Armor and Axe set!"

His eyes narrowed as the huge black metal door in the throne room opened. There laid the peaceful city but beyond that was a wall and even beyond that was a just a plain ground.

.....

Auras that made beasts flee everywhere in fear, six of the Thirteen Guardians stood by each other while looking above.

"What kind of being might this be to come from the sky?", a man with a bulky body asked as he sat down on a huge stone and placed his hammer on top of the frail ground that shattered it. One of the Thirteen Guardians, Guardian of Power.

"We have no idea.", a skinny guy in a long coat said, his expression was sharp but his eyes were closed. One of the Thirteen Guardians, Guardian of Spirits.

"Tsk! Where are the others?!", a youth with a spiky blonde hair shouted in anger as he pointed his sword towards the sky. One of the Thirteen Guardians, Guardian of Light.

"Hey! That's dangerous! What if that being was strong enough to kill us and then you offend them by doing that?!", a little girl shouted too in anger but was directed to the Guardian of Light. One of the Thirteen Guardians, Guardian of Nature.

"What? No way, that's impossible.", the Guardian of Light treated it like a joke.

Another young boy with glasses holding a book but couldn't concentrate on what he was reading and could only look up in the sky while wearing a hooded raincoat. One of the Thirteen Guardians, Guardian of Knowledge.

Lastly, an old man sighed on the side and then relentlessly murmured something. One of the Thirteen Guardians, Guardian of Life.

Right at that moment, Sage Tai Shi arrived at the scene then followed by Emperor Wang Song who greeted Sage Tai Shi and the six of the Thirteen Guardian respectfully.

The Guardian of Life then said, "In less than an hour, they will arrive."

"No, they are already here.", a man with a dark and unholy aura took the attention of the eight with a bit of a surprised look in their faces.

"The Hell's Saint, Saint Kaiser?", Emperor Wang Song exclaimed.

Saint Kaiser did not reply but only looked up.

The others followed his gazed and saw a huge silhouetted unidentified flying object beyond the clouds. They did not know when or how it appeared then but they saw something falling from it with astonishing speed.

Two other Sages arrived at the scene and looked up.

Not long after, a pretty man landed gently on the ground as if he was not the one that fell with that speed.

Before anyone could speak, the pretty man calmly said with his hand behind his back, "Greeting, beings from this planet. I, Ayensi Sole Tiowen, have come to seek people that are worthy enough to become at least my servant."
