A choice
The Dragon God Burial Ground,
This was a desolate place in the immortal realm. Rarely was it visited, it wouldn't be weird for not a single soul to step in for thousands of years.
Legends has it that, as its name says, that thks was a Burial ground Primordial Dragon God created for his race and followers. Although it wasn't certain that he lies here, he is undoubtedly its creator. It is also rumored that there exist a powerful spirit watching over it. Some people even suggested that it might be the Dragon God spirit.
Of course, no one could confirm this... Well, aside from one person
-------------------------
Heavenly grotto,
If anyone heard this name, he will definitely be scared out of his mind because... This was the cavern-dwelling of Heavenly Emperor Xiao!
Very few aside from him knew it location. It was said that it was a treasury that would make other imperial treasuries pale in comparison. Era's top artefacts and immortal weapons were like cabbage her. It also had some of the mythical... Divine treasures!
Those divine treasures are items formed since the beginning of time. They have heaven-defying powers that would draw executions each time used. They total in 5 and were said to be lifelong artefacts of the ancient world gods. Mythical beings with mythical items would definitely result in mythical tales. As of now, no one truly knows the effects of these items.
The grotto was wrapped in formation and seals. In it center it has a majestic throne. A mortal would kneel and kowtow even without the presence of its owner.
At this time, a pale looking youth was sitting in there. He didn't look overly charming nir did he look powerful. However, his mere presence would overshadow everyone else for he was....
Heavenly Emperor Xiao!
Looking besude him there stood a spirit. Looking closely at it, it was that of girl. Although her face wasn't clear, just from it one can determine that she was definitely a kingdom-toppling beauty.
"Sigh... Who would have thought that even you will be reduced to this miserable state..." spoke the girl.
"leave..."
"To where? Remember you're the intruder here not me... Have you thought about how to get out of this hopeless state?"
"... There's no point in thinking about it..."
"Sigh you're truly stubborn... Are you determined to die here? Do you think that the war is over with the seal? Heh, if it was easy then father would still be here and you wouldn't even dare to claim the number 1 spot of the strongest powerhouses... Xiao Shi... Rise. The war isn't over. The devils are at most sealed for 10 billions years before eventually returning... Are you giving up ypur responsibility? "
"... Not to mention my fading life source, even if I train for the upcoming 10 billions years i won't be their match... I have reached my full potential. I can't progress anymore.. "
" then just start again from the beginning... This time building a stronger foundation and going even further than your prime"
Only then did Xiao Shi shift his gaze looking at her as he was startled.
"what? Isn't it obvious? I'm just giving you a choice. Whether to die as a coward and a looser or fight as a hero and starve for a look at the dawn..."
"...How can I..."
"there are many things you don't know. For instance, the reincarnation pearl or the black jade stone that you've been studying for millions of years."
"... So that's its use..."
"like I said, you're still ignorant about many things, let alone a divine object. Anyways, that's your ticket. Whether you use it or not is up to you... I just want... To make the old man's dream come true..."
"I see... Sigh... I guess i have to rest first... After all, reincarnation cycle isn't an easy trip right?"
"how would i know? Only one has managed it in all eras."
"heh, the old man is sure extraordinary. "
