1 01 - The God of All Arts

Immortal World, that is the name of a world completely different from ours. Countless planets are inhabited by humans, orcs, elves, and countless different races scattered throughout the infinite solar systems.

But something in common connects all these beings, and that is the Spiritual Energy. From the moment a being is born, it begins to absorb the Spiritual Energy from the environment around him, and the more energy it absorbs, the better its body develops. Without Spiritual Energy, these beings would most likely only be able to lift a few hundred kilograms in weight, but with Spiritual Energy, some of these beings could cut mountains and separate rivers only with the strength and power of their own bodies.

Discovering that the reason they were stronger was Spiritual Energy, some older and experienced beings began to study a way to absorb more Spiritual Energy in a more efficient manner, thus creating the Techniques of Cultivation. Techniques that taught which way to go, what problems someone could face cultivating, what herbs to use to improve efficiency, everything was taught in Cultivation Techniques.

Millions of years passed, and with each generation, beings of different races managed to become stronger and stronger, until finally, an elf specialized in magic was able to break through the barrier of Spiritual Energy and attain divinity. In this way, he was able to free himself from the fetters of relying upon Spiritual Energy and could produce his own energy within himself, or even produce energy for other beings.

This elf was later known as the God of Magic. After him, dwarves became Gods of the Forge, Orcs became Gods of War, Centaurs became Gods of Hunt, and the list just kept growing.However, even with several and several Gods emerging, some races had difficulty breaking through the barriers of Spiritual Energy and had very few Gods.

Among these less fortunate races was the Human race, a weak people with a tiny life expectancy, which made it very difficult to create a proper Cultivation Technique. While elves lived for 500 years even without Spiritual Energy, dwarfs for 300, humans had difficulty reaching 100 years of age if they did not cultivate.

But it is not because it was difficult to achieve Immortality that no human had ever achieved... no, some humans had already achieved divinity during the millions of years of their existence, but compared to other races, the number was minuscule.

Among those humans who reached Divinity was Wang Feng. A handsome man, who by his appearance people would think he was only 23 years old, but in fact, even with that young appearance, he had already lived for tens of thousands of years. Sitting alone in his immortal palace, Wang Feng held his favorite flute while he mentally contemplated.

- After my disciples betrayed me 10 millennia ago I never left my Palace... I spent centuries teaching them, teaching them how to cultivate correctly, teaching my moral values, teaching everything I thought was worthy to teach... for what? To be betrayed later when they realized that they would not be able to reach Divinity without my treasures... I was already preparing to give each one an Immortal treasure so that they could reach Divinity, but to feel their betrayal really hurt... Fortunately, in these last 10,000 years, I was able to accept this betrayal and detach myself from them. At least that time I spent alone has served me well. - He thought as he opened a smile on his face and contemplated the 6 works of his life.

When a being attains divinity, he has no dominion over anything, so to be a divinity of something, such as the Forge, for example, the divinity would have to battle with the present God of the Forge to decide who would be able to maintain the title of God of the Forge. There were several deities who were not gods of anything in particular, that was really possible, but to have dominion over something made them more powerful, as prayers would be directed to them as a Spiritual Energy thousands of times more powerful.

Wang Feng hasn't spent his thousands of years drinking and relating to women, no, Wang Feng has never actually related to a single woman, why is that? Well, he's mute. Wang Feng's mother was poisoned while she was still pregnant with him, and while she died with the poison, some of the toxins passed to him and completely destroyed his vocal cords.

Wang Feng's first thousand years were spent looking for a way to correct his disability, but after the God of Medicine told him there was nothing to do, Wang Feng gave up and decided to accept himself as mute, thus dedicating himself to the art of music, since this would be a field where he could use to communicate.

At the time he was already considered the God of Music, but having accepted that he could never talk to anyone, he awakened an even greater passion than he had before for music, thus causing Wang Feng's ability in music to improve exponentially.

Gods of the most diverse domains stopped everything they had to do when they learned that Wang Feng would make a concert in his palace. Many goddesses even offered themselves to him, but Wang Feng knew that they were only interested in his music, not the person behind the instrument. Once, feeling that he had stagnated, Wang Feng decided to start learning other arts... and so, the God of all Arts was born.

Wang Feng was not content to be just the God of Music and learned all the other arts until he became more proficient in them than the very gods who controlled them.

Music, Painting, Sculpture, Architecture, Literature, and Performing Arts. Wang Feng had become the God of all six arts.

Observing the six works of art in front of him, Wang Feng opened a smile and thought mentally. - Finally, I can die in peace, these six works of art have reached perfection... -

Even a God had a life limit, and Wang Feng, even though he looked young, knew that he had reached his own limit. Sitting on his Throne, Wang Feng smiled at his six masterpieces, which in the future would be known as the 6 Immortal Wonders, and quietly closed his eyes, thus entering eternal sleep, better known as death.

After his death, the Immortal World went mad. One of the most powerful gods, holders of the 6 arts worshipped by almost all races died, leaving behind 6 masterpieces that left even the most powerful gods with their mouths open.

And so, a battle that would destroy half the universe began. The motive? All the Gods wanted at least one of the 6 Immortal Wonders, but since no one wanted to give up having one of them for himself, the war, which in the future would be known as the War of the Gods, began. Thousands of years long, causing the death of countless gods.

The one responsible for this war, responsible for creating the 6 Immortal Wonders, was reincarnating, and for some reason, still with his memories intact.
