Chapter 24 - [Lila, a Ariya supreme God]
Shreya's melodious voice resonated throughout Asoka's Divine Realm with a hint of coldness, her words echoing off the ethereal landscape. "Hello, is there anyone? I am Shreya, and I seek information. I've been exploring this uncharted territory and came upon your vast and majestic Divine Realm, radiating an aura of power and elegance. May we converse?"
As she waited for a response, the silence stretched for ten seconds until Shreya turned to depart. But then, a magnificent gate materialized before her, its presence commanding attention. The gate's rainbow-colored theme shimmered with an otherworldly light, exuding a serene aura that seemed to hold the secrets of the Omni-Verse.
Intricate patterns and symbols adorned the gate, whispering tales of ancient wisdom and forgotten lore. The gate's appearance seemed to be an invitation, a portal to hidden truths and unseen wonders.
As Shreya passed through the gate, she beheld a stunning young man, standing tall at 7 feet, with deep golden-green hair and eyes that seemed to hold the secrets of the universe. His attire was a striking ensemble of black pants, a red shirt, and a golden-striped long coat that billowed behind him like a celestial cloak. But it was his ears that truly set him apart – elongated and pointed, they gave him an otherworldly elegance.
Asoka's presence was mesmerizing, radiating an aura of aloofness, mystery, and superiority that could reduce even the most confident of beings to a sense of inferiority. His gaze seemed to hold the weight of the cosmos, making Shreya feel like a mere mortal in the presence of a deity.
Asoka's voice, like honey and gold, dripped with charm as he spoke, "Hey, Miss... Do you want something? I heard you were asking for something." His words were laced with a subtle bewitching quality, capable of entrancing even the most resilient of wills.
Shreya felt an involuntary shiver run down her spine as she met Asoka's gaze, her heart skipping a beat in the face of his divine majesty.
Asoka's voice, like a gentle breeze on a summer's day, carried a sweetness that was both captivating and unnerving. His words, infused with a subtle enchantment, seemed to weave a spell around Shreya, drawing her in with an otherworldly allure. The Primordial Phoenix Goddess, known for her cold and composed demeanor, found herself entranced by the handsome young man before her.
As their eyes met, Shreya's poise faltered, her gaze locking onto Asoka's with a mixture of fascination and trepidation. Her heart skipped a beat, her pulse racing with an uncharacteristic flutter. The aura of aloofness surrounding him only added to his enigmatic charm, leaving Shreya breathless and bewitched.
"Ah...," she stammered, her voice barely above a whisper, as she struggled to regain her composure. Her cheeks, normally a picture of serene elegance, flushed with a soft pink hue, betraying her surprise and vulnerability. The cold, calculating goddess was, for a moment, reduced to a mere mortal, susceptible to the whims of her own heart.
Shreya's words tumbled out in a hurry, her mind still reeling from the unexpected encounter. "I want to talk to your master and owner of this realm," she said, her thoughts muddled and unclear. It wasn't until Asoka's playful response, "Then, who am I, Miss?" that Shreya's senses snapped back into focus.
At that moment, she realized the absurdity of her question. The man before her, with his captivating charm, striking features, and powerful aura, couldn't possibly be a servant or subordinate. His presence screamed of leadership, dominance, and authority – qualities that Shreya, as a Primordial Phoenix Goddess and alpha in her own right, could instinctively recognize.
The idea of this magnificent being pledging allegiance to another or serving as a subordinate was laughable. Shreya's eyes narrowed, her gaze intensifying as she reassessed the situation. She sensed the aura of a ruler, an alpha, and a dominator emanating from Asoka – a presence that commanded respect and inspired awe.
Shreya's words flowed with a newfound elegance, her voice calm and collected as she offered her apology. "I am sorry for being disrespectful and for my unsightly action. As I had earlier said, my name is Shreya, an Ice Phoenix Goddess. I apologize for disturbing you." Her cheeks, once flushed with embarrassment, returned to their usual porcelain-like serenity.
With a subtle shift, Shreya's demeanor transformed, her chaotic mind and stuttering voice giving way to a composed, calculating presence. Her eyes, once bright with surprise, now shone with a cold, calm intensity, betraying a depth of experience and wisdom.
As a goddess who had lived over 1,000 years in the Divine Domain, and having awakened from her fourth Nirvana, Shreya had mastered the art of controlling and manipulating her emotions. She could manifest them at will, donning a mask of serenity to conceal her true feelings.
Shreya's gaze met Asoka's, searching for any hint of anger or displeasure. Instead, she found only calmness and serenity etched on his face. Asoka's enchanting voice put her at ease, "You do not have to say sorry. You do not know about me, but I know totally about you."
He introduced himself, "I am Asoka Walker, God of elves, magic, wealth, and contract." Shreya's curiosity was piqued, and she wondered what he meant by "totally knowing" her.
As Asoka turned to lead her inside, Shreya's mind raced with thoughts. "Did he know about my secret?" she wondered but quickly dismissed the idea. She had kept her secret hidden, even from those closest to her... except for one being, a handsome and extraordinary man with white silver hair, seated on the Majestic Sword Dragon Throne. The image flashed in her mind, but she pushed it aside.
With a deep breath, Shreya stepped through the gate and entered the divine realm. As she looked back, the gate merged seamlessly with the surroundings, disappearing from view. She felt a sense of wonder and trepidation, unsure what lay ahead in this mystical realm.
Shreya's caution was warranted, for she knew that gods held absolute authority within their divine realms. Though she wasn't afraid, her prudence stemmed from the unknown nature of Asoka's powers and abilities. As a stranger, he posed an enigma, and Shreya's instincts urged her to tread carefully.
Her senses had picked up on Asoka's formidable power level, rivaling her own strength. This realization sparked a flicker of intrigue, for it implied that Asoka was a Primordial God, a rarity in the divine hierarchy. Shreya's mind whirled with possibilities, her thoughts racing to unravel the mystery surrounding this enigmatic deity.
With each step, Shreya's awareness heightened, her senses on high alert as she navigated the uncharted territory of Asoka's divine realm. Though her caution remained, her curiosity now rivaled it, propelling her forward to unravel the secrets hidden within this mystical domain.
Primordial God is not a realm or stage in the God realm system but a title given to some rare beings.
The title 'Primordial' is given to those beings who are comprehending a Primordial Manipulation Aspect.
Shreya's wariness was warranted, as encountering a Primordial God was extremely rare. These beings had transcended conventional limitations, demonstrating unparalleled mastery over their chosen aspect. Asoka's enigmatic smile and effortless demeanor only added to the mystery surrounding him, leaving Shreya to wonder about the full extent of his powers.
Aspect means comprehension and understanding can be anything from basic magic elements to variant magic elements or any sub-magic elements, martial art concepts to weapons concepts, law, principles, ability, ideas, material, immaterial, tangible, intangible, etc.
If a person wants to make a breakthrough in God's realm or ignite a divine spark, They will have to comprehend the Magic Aspect into the higher level aspect that is known as the "Manipulation Aspect" stage.
The manipulation of aspect is divided into two sets: the first set is a "Comprehension of ordinary set of Aspect, Not all gods, but most god possesses the ordinary manipulation of an aspect. Only a few gods, which can be counted on hand, can comprehend a second set of Manipulation Way, which is known as Primordial Manipulation.
God with Primordial Manipulation Aspect can easily dominate or kill a group of gods with the same ordinary Manipulation Aspect. A god with Primordial Manipulation Aspect is as rare as phoenix feathers and Kirin horns.
So, the gods or goddesses possessing the Primordial Manipulation Aspect will be given the title of 'Primordial'
If you want to know how to become a god? Then here is your answer
For any demi-god to become a true god, they have to ignite the divine spark while combining their will, talent, skill, ability, mental power, mana, aura, and comprehension of a manipulation aspect to give birth to their divine spark. The divine spark is also a god's very foundation of their Godhood.
With the help of the divine spark, they have to refine their mortal body into a divine body.
During this process, if the divine spark gets extinguished, they will fail the process of becoming a true god and be considered a false or pseudo-god. Out of a million people, only a handful of the people have a chance to become a true god
Upon ascending to the God Realm, their Divine spark, now nestled in the essence of Godhood, ignites the birth of Divine power. This sacred energy emanates from the core of their being, infusing them with the essence of Godliness. However, for those who tread the path of Dark Gods, their Divine spark gives rise to Dark power, a malevolent force that fuels their ascent as Dark Gods.
(Note: The process of becoming a god is different for Origin elves)

As Shreya entered the divine realm, she was immediately enveloped by a dense, palpable divine energy. Her eyes adjusted to the new surroundings, and she found herself standing on a pathway leading to a majestic palace. Attempting to scan her surroundings with her divine sense, she was met with an unexpected failure - her abilities were unable to penetrate the realm.
Following Asoka, Shreya ventured deeper into the realm, her gaze falling upon an endless, sprawling forest. The landscape was teeming with life, as animals, birds, and tiny, fairy-like beings flitted about. However, Shreya's instincts hinted that most of what she saw was a mere illusion.
The truth was far more extraordinary: the forest was, in fact, the World God Tree, its branches and roots encompassing the entire realm. The creatures she saw were not ordinary animals but immortal divine beasts, some of which possessed power rivaling or even surpassing her own. Even the mountains in the distance were not what they seemed - they were, in reality, the slumbering forms of colossal celestial beast.
If Shreya were to discover the true nature of this realm, she would likely be overwhelmed by shock and awe, her mind struggling to comprehend the sheer scale and majesty of Asoka's domain
Asoka guided Shreya to a serene garden, where a small, circular table and six chairs awaited. As they sat, Asoka's gaze met Shreya's, his eyes sparkling with curiosity. "So, Miss Shreya, why have you come here?" he asked, his voice warm and inviting.
Suddenly, he playfully hit his forehead, "Oh dear, how rude of me! You're my guest, and I forgot to offer you refreshments!" He smiled charmingly, "What can I get for you, Miss Phoenix? Coffee, tea, alcohol, or perhaps something else?"
Shreya's calm, collected demeanor remained unwavering, her cold personality a stark contrast to Asoka's warmth. "Just a fresh tea, nothing else," she replied, her voice even and serene.
Asoka's eyes twinkled as he called out, "Lila, prepare some tea for our guest!" The air seemed to shimmer, and a tiny lady, no larger than 30 cm, appeared before them. Her long black hair cascaded down her back, and her eyes shone like dark jewels. Her skin was smooth and delicate, and her legs were slender and graceful despite her small stature.
Lila, a remarkable member of the Ariya race, had a distinctive history that set her apart from her peers. She was the first Ariya in the first generation of Ariya race to undergo the extraordinary experience of nine deaths, ultimately achieving the esteemed status of Primordial Supreme God. This remarkable feat granted her unparalleled control over Primordial Nature manipulation, solidifying her position among the divine.
After attaining Supreme God status within her race, Lila ascended to the Divine Dimension, transcending the mortal realm. Instead of basking in her newfound power and living a life of leisure, she chose to dedicate herself to serving her god, Asoka. This selfless decision showcased her unwavering devotion and commitment to her deity.
Shreya's calm exterior belied her inner shock. Her battle instincts and senses, honed to perfection, had failed to detect Lila's appearance. Now, she subjected Lila to intense scrutiny, initially considering her to be a fairy due to her petite stature and delicate features. However, upon closer observation, Shreya realized that Lila didn't belong to the fairy race.
"Yes, master, as you demand," Lila said before vanishing into thin air.
Shreya's curiosity got the better of her. "May I ask who she is? I couldn't sense the aura of the fairy race from her. Is she truly a fairy?" she inquired.
Asoka's response was measured. "No, she is not a fairy, but an Ariya. They share about 65% similarity with the fairy race." He deliberately withheld further information about the Ariya, leaving Shreya's curiosity piqued.
