City XXXXXX

Inside the leading laboratory for energy development and research, an old man that looks to be in his 60's is wearing a rather rough looking lab coat with ten other young men next to him were brimming with excitement while looking at the reactor that was starting up. They had been researching a new form of energy that combined all know energies with a few experimental ones that should boost mankind into a new era where everyone would have a stronger physique which would give them higher immunity, faster thinking speed, reaction, etc. when exposed with this energy. Although the first few would have to be injected with the energy and run test to see if it was safe to let it out into the general public.

As the reactor started speeding up unnaturally fast one of the assistants hurriedly said with a hint of panic in his voice.

"Professor the energies are exceeding our initial calculations"

The old man lost in his thoughts while looking at the energy on the screen instructed the assistant as he murmured.

"Mmm, lower the output of power!, this... this energy.. looks almost as if.... it's the source like the answers to all the theories!"

The assistant yells at the professor with mounting panic and horror voice as his face pales along with the others in the room.

"Professor the energy is getting more aggressive and we are losing control!!"

"Calm down and check the....."

Before the old man could finish the assistant interrupted him while screaming in abstract terror.

"Professor its going to explode, Pro..."

BOOM!!

.....

A few minutes before the explosion.

Beside an urban alley right next to a food stall a young man with light brown skin black hair and eyes that seemed to shine is finishing his meal when he caught sight of a hooded man with a knife in hand while the other is forcefully dragging a woman while she screams for help. Looking around he sees torn and cut pieces of clothing on the floor with a purse that had its contents spilled on the ground.

"Help! Help! Someone please help me!"

The young man more than a little tired at having to deal with an other robbery curses the supposed police that he sees ignoring them as they continue driving with what looks to be a bag in the back seat with glimpses of green flashing as the car drives on the bumpy road. As he contemplating to help he, after all the last robbery he interfered in still has him nursing some internal injuries and a few crack bones but seeing the man about to get away, he starts chasing after the would be theif and damsel with sigh. He turns the corner and sees him running down the alley with the damsel over his shoulders thrashing and quickens his steps to a run. As his about to catch the theif/kidnapper, he's suddenly hears whistling in the air and dodges to the left as knife passes by where his shoulder had been, only to see the man he had been chasing to turn around while click his tongue and gently places the 'damsel' on the ground.

"Tsk well they did say you were quick on your feet and had a faster reaction. Too bad speeds not gonna get you out of this one kid. So do us all a favor and tell us what the [Qi Cultivation Technique] is, then will be on our way and get some drinks. Ain't that right guys".

As the hooded man says that the young man notices men beginning to come up from behind him while more come from behind the man trapping him.

"Listen kid just do as we say and we won't get too rough with you"

"Yeah yeah, make this easy for yourself!"

"Hahaha..."

....

Glancing around the young man finds himself surrounded by more than ten men with knives and pipes in their hands. Hearing them talk about the [Qi Cultivation Technique] he reveals a bitter smile as recalls his ex girlfriend was the only one he told about his [Qi Cultivation Technique] and that he only got it by chance. When she press for more in a somewhat aggressive and what he thought was a little greed, he shut her down but looks like it wasn't meant to be. She even stormed out and broke up with him.

"Who put you up to this. Was it Caroll"

A cruel light flashes through the leaders eyes as he answers with amusement in his voice.

"Well I don't know why don't you ask her yourself"

Anger and disbelief flashes through the young mans eyes when he hears that as his eyes look towards the 'damsel' as she takes off her wig while wiping the heavy makeup off her face and grabs the cloak handed to her by on the men. He instinctively starts to gather his qi in his hands as she opens her mouth when an explosion is heard and everything goes white and a rush of energy hits practically vaporizing what it touched. As he felt the pain and the growing black as his losing consciousness, his qi gathers without his will into his minds space that houses his soul and a tug by a pure energy thats pulling something inside him and a warm current of energy washes onto his mind and very soul like a tsunami. Then searing pain floods him as he passes out.

.....

He wakes up groggy and sluggish feeling light almost like gravity suddenly cut off, but then he feel heavy as if forced to carry a weight that multipled tens of times in a second then light as again. This repeated tens of times and as the number of times increased the weight got heavier and heavier. He realized that if this continued he would be crushed. That's when he sees colourful energies all around him flowing into a pure streams like runoffs converging into rivers that are following a specific path. Then he sees one stream of blue energy forming an orb of light that feels gentle and clam. He struggles to reaches out to this blue orb and when he 'touches' it he feels a soft and clam energy flowing into him from the orb and the feeling of weight that he was feeling fades away as he starts lose consciousness. An unknown amount of time later he wakes up and sees a blue orb inside of him forming an ocean with calm waves and starts to feel the weight again but this time its lighter. He then looks to see four other orbs near him in the colours red, green, yellow, purple, black and white. He also reaches out to these energy orbs and each time he 'touched' one he lose consciousness for and unknown amount of time, but with each orb the weight he is feeling got lighter and lighter. When he absorbed the last orb, he felt and saw the energies make mountains, seas, volcanoes, hurricanes, thunderstorms with flashes of lightning, cracks in space with distorted gravity and blurred and bended space with multiple objects at different states of age, although he still felt the weight it was almost nonexistent. Once he is sure that the weight wouldn't increase he lets out a sigh of relief. He then looks around again and notices a faint sliver stream of energy that seems about to fade away any second connecting him and a white orb thats gathering the six energies into itself and throbbing like a heart and it was hundreds of meters wide shining brightly like a small sun. He sees the energy compressing itself still throbbing and feels the energy from the five orbs inside him resonating strengthening the connection between them and making it sturdier and more corporal. He looks farther and sees an entity of pure light that 'feels' alive but this one is so huge that he can't even see the edges of it. As he was looking at the entity he suddenly feels that it 'smiled' at him curiously, but before he could think or do anything else another resonance happens but much stronger this time forcing him unconsciousness.

...

As the foalting soul rest the huge entity guides some of the pure energy into the soul while give the soul a bit of its own energy as a form of blessing. The entity also further strengthens the connection between the soul and the orb while given the orb some conscious with a more pure bit of its energy. With that done the entity whispers with a feminine voice, "My name is Gia and I give you this gift for reaching my realm when it should be impossible with your current ability and I hope to meet again little one."

As she says this she gently expels the soul from her realm back to its own.
