Paramitas of the Unbalance

12,250 nautical miles Southeast of the Great Dalu Continent, silently lays the fabled hidden islands of the forgotten " Maharlikan Archepelago "; surrounded by uncharteredly deep crystal clear waters. Where vast Tropical Forest and untaimed Verdant Wilderness dominates most of its islands. Not even the ranks of Transendent Douluo could percieve its presence; only Limit Douluo's who attained comprehension of the " Ways of Supreme Harmony " could do so.

It was never recorded when and how the first inhabitants of the islands first came to be. But if one could ask the oldest of the old, elders and chieftains of the current times. They all shall in unison phrase; " all tribes originated from nothing.. " as these words left their lips, one could only feel the hint of reverence and gratitude. As if everything that ever happened from the past, could clearly be seen in those meercky lucid eyes.

The Archepelago is compose of more than seven thousand hundred islands of varius facade and unique topography. Where the actual count can't actually be determined, for some of the islands are greatly affected by the rise and fall of the tides in varying time tables. If one could only venture on one of the few, most isolated, ilussive islands. One shall cease and could only sign by its beauty.. after being mesmarised of the islands enchanting " paradise like" scenery. Left by the words;

" I could reside here.. unconditionally.. " while lamenting on how wonderful would it be, if possible, to be lost or just live there for an eternity.. "

According to Legends, each island has its own ruling deity/s guarding it; where even soul beasts of beyond hundred thousand years cultivation could not dare to provoked or mess with. For about a thousand years ago, few unguarded territories where conquered and subjected into foreign rule, then became staging points for further expansions. The native inhabitants who are powerless were oppressed and killed almost to the point of extinction. This transgressions enrage the deities who are living in peaceful means across the Archepelago. Those of the most passionately attached beings acted out, way too swiftly in unsolicited wraithful judgement. Conjuring untold Calamities that eradicated all foreign presences; turning them into nothing but nourishment for the fertile soil of the islands they violately trespassed.

The Archepelago remained perpetually secluded and heveanly untouchable. Solidary kept at peace even after the Godly Assension of the late Ice Dulou; Hau Yuhao and his friends. Of the oldest annals, it was inscribed that foreign entities could only be invested by such privilege only after...

From the frozen deaps of outerspace, a meteorite blazing multicolored radiance is falling straight onto the largest island of the Archepelago's domain. It has about 105,000 square kilometers (40,541 sq mi) and is located at the top Northwest side of the Archepelago known as the Boundless North. Protected by its prominent arrays of higher equatorial mountains and spectral desolate lands, some of which originated from former active volcanos; that could be found laying across all major directions. Intersected by rivers, waterfalls and lakes of various scales that are hidden from plain site by masive towering trees and lush vegetation which are also nourished in their care.

Situated at the center of the Boundless North was a Great Majestic Valley, where its majestic plains are sought after convergence of different creatures. Living harmoniously with some skirmishes here and there out of territorial disputes. Soul Beasts are endowed with keen senses, atleast enough for the weakest to feel fear and be alarmed from any impending danger, like the meteorite as it closes in and penetrates the sky above the island. Unknown to the endemic soul beasts in the region; when the meteorite hit their area, no mass destruction occoured, not single a sound of crash could be heard as it happened. As if the meteorite just suddenly vanished in existence the very moment it set foot inside the valley.

Days became weeks and then months turned into years since the heavenly body had fallen, however it didn't left any trace which left the most experience and who personally saw it into doubtful about any event ever occuring. One peaceful night inside the Great Majestic Valley, where six gigantic waterfalls meet on a 2 kilometer wide, green alkaline lake, a vauge illusory figure suddenly appeares. Hovering in ghastly phase with no distinct form, as if cought in a trance staring intently into the clear-velvet sky above. It's figure seemed to be an incomplete entity, where anyone could accidentally mistook it as either human or a beast at first sight. The closest if to be described is a spirit entity, having etereal form that is constantly dispersing and consolidating at the same time.

Caught in his own thoughts:

It has been years since I came into this world, still I am unable to completely form an appropriate complete avatar. I had been roaming around the area and its edges; trying to be familiar with everything here, realizing it doesn't seemed too far off from the world I came from. What a wonderful place indeed, that its almost like a paradise. If only I had an actual body, deep inhillation then a very sign follows..

Back in that world, I always felt that no matter how I tried to attain more progress. My strengths together with my comprehension has always been limited, as if being constricted by something I can't precieved living me to feel digenerate at times. Unlike here I could feel my potentials are being enhance and redefined at every moment I stay and be one with nature. After observing everything around me and comprehended some of the basic essences. I feel like becoming closer into grasping the distinct way of everything around me, is it Harmony? yet it seemed to feel more. I just couldn't accurately pin point it now. I will be needing more time, time to evaluate things.. time, that I only had too few before.. I need to try communicating and engaged with the natives here for me to verify my comprehension. Hopefully it all works out just fine.

" Hello little one, could you me?" As I try ask small creature that is quietly chewing on its food atop a tree branch. The pour thing got startled; droped the food it was holding because of my sudden mental intrusion on its thoughts. Moments later, after looking around and could not see any creatures. Out of instinct it just runoff like a Jeepney, not bothering anymore about the food it drop.

" Wew so much for communicating! can it even be considered a communication? He said to himself wondering on how could he get new information about this world if everytime he tries to speak with the natives this senarios eventually occurs. " Because I am still bodyless and only my thoughts could be transmitted to them, or may be I need to find more intelligent beings? ".

So the spirit continued to find more promising creatures, as he thought them to be. Exploiting the many advantages a soul form have in its arsenal. He didn't just tried to communicate immediately when he saw the creatures, He tried to analyze them first, if these individuals could be communicable or not.

Day-in and day-out it search for the best candidate until one fine evening, in a not so hidden gigantic nest atop a towering majestic tree, beside a stiff rocky cliff. A massive being about 12 feet tall, in corrupted lighgolden feathers with silver veins, is currently resting while observing its surroundings. The massive being

When soul beast first saw this creature it reminded him of a very rare being in his former world. This being was critically endangered in their native lands that a call for protection had to be implemented in order to save their native species that is now only present in that region.

The spirit got mesmarised for a long time thinking of what a great opportunity was this that he came in contact with such great being. Little did he knew that from the very beginning he entered and roaming around its territory it has already been alarm by the soul's presence. It just didn't bother to personally check on him because firstly the spirit has no characteristics of a food for him to consume then secondly it found that the spirit was a little off as it emits a faint pressure that is once felt years ago when the multicolored meteorite that fell vanished in their region.

The spirit tried to get closer after confirming its thoughts about the magnificent bird.

Suddenly the massive being opened its eyes and send its thoughts all over the place:

" Who is so bold enough to disturb this High King's quite nap?" Directly looking at the spot where the spirit is hovering freely. Cought of guard the spirit thought happily:

" Ohoho is he capable of sensing me already? Or em I finally materializing without me even knowing it? Haha this is my chance then" ok lets try start then.

Hello big guy! or big girl?? My apologies if I could not determine your exact gender. I am new in this world, well thats according to my memories. I was hoping if I can find a friend to talk about varius things? Hoping that its possible to communicate with you? then the spirit patiently wait for response as if his message was understood by the massive figure in front of him.

Curiosity also found its way in the massive creature's eyes so much so that his sleepy condition earlier had gradually diminished. After staring at the blank space where the spirit was hovering. He emitted a gentle pressure spreading all over the space covering about three hundred meters just enough to encase both of them inside like a dome.

" Does this new being have a name or something to call himself?, this High King does not enjoy the company of nameless beings to top it up a formless one at that. I refuse to be mocked by my friends if ever they get news of this unexpected visitor ". Slowly stretching its wings outside proping itself as normal habbits takes on.

" Oh, sorry about that. My name is.. I haven't really thought of it yet since I am still a formless spirit, so.. " hmm, thinking and thinking.. Hmmm.. as time pass by quickly the High King could not his irritaion after becoming bored waiting and finally spoken.

" Since you can't decide of a name, let me give you a hand, lets temporary just address yourself as.. hmm..right! " Not-thing! " inwardly smiling and very pleased of himself, about being a clever thinker and playing tricks all of a sudden.

Huh? So this big fellow here is quite thoughtful on trying to emplore senserity while being humorous. What a luck of finding a potential friend indeed. " I do find the name suggestion, as a very kind gesture so, I will conform with it and be address as such, and how should I address thy kind and generous being?

Full of himself the Massive creature replied..

" You may address me as ( Bagwis ), I am one of the ruling Deities on this island and by the way, welcome to humbled territory of the Great North ". Actively emphasizing his full authority towards the end, living no questions about his dominance in the region. The Great North of the uncharted Archepelago is by far the largest island within when compares to other islands.

They then started to talk about varius topics in details that verified the curios minds. Him teaching it, about the natures particulars of this world and It, sharing some of the memories it could still remember about its former world and the similarities the both worlds have. The talk was very spontaneous since both parties where in the same level of intellect or may be with minimal disparity in a conservative perspective.

Through this conversation with Bagwis, Not-thing learned quite a few important details about the Great Valley and even got to know the whole topography of the entire island. These where the inputs from someone who is always monitoring and hunts from above, a predator of the sky.

" How good was that right!!??" talking to myself. This conversations eventually became a daily basis that would usually last for half a day and after which, I would go back to where I first stayed and had my conciousnes fully organized. Finding it more comfortable and beneficial to stay there than any other places.

Through him I finally understand that this world has its unique endowments that my former world lacks. that totally explains the feeling I felt before coming here. Unknowingly I became more naturalized in this world after being in contact with this High King and the few friends he has willingly entroduce with me.

Three Years had pass and finally at the break of dawn in the place I normally reside. A sudden feel of wholeness came onto me. After waiting endlessly for the completion of my once fragmeted soul. I now boost a unique pressure clearly visible only to those higher beings of power. Although its still considered as imaterialized form atleast I can now be identified as a true entity of this world. A being that has a "complete soul" that is recognize by this world that will eventually gain its complete blessings.

Having the right foundation is a good start for me as I plan to have a capable body someday. For now I can replicate my former features in that world but with some minor adjustments to those parts that I find a bit lacking. After all presenting of oneself is a reflection of ones identity, is what I believe in.

After this event I found out, that the way I could feel my surroundings has been enhanced to another boundary. If before I can only barely and briefly influence the surrounding environment around me, now I can firmly grasp and control it slowly. After sometime with guidance and training I may perfect it someday. I mean I do have the time now, compared to when I was a mare mortal in that former world. No fleshy body to burden me of sickness and aging issues. Though not having one is quite beneficial now its still not acceptable..

With occasional consultation from the island rulers and older natives I continued with my practice of harnessing the power of the world by further studying the boundaries within reach of thy complete soul. Slowing creating and stabilising one's origin core foundation, being guided by the comprehension of the harmonize essences, ways and laws of this world. Little by little the newly completed soul progress from one boundary into another broadening its horizon in the details of this current world.

As times fly by, being a spirit soul these matters dont truelly apply because one would not feel hungry or had to monitor a life span because truth be told "I'm still a spirit soul". A none fleshy living, rather etereal being, only now could I blountly feel that whenever I do my daily meditation practice, I could feel that my territorial perception is currently slowly expanding with no current limits as long as I maintain extreme focus . Giving me a better rather best view on everything within my scope, thus having best comprehension materials nature could offer.

-----++++----

More than a hundred years now since my spirit soul had materialized. I no longer bound to only the Great North now able to visit other islands within the Boundless Archepelago. On my own I travel crossing island to island to engage with different life forms and rare indemic species only found on that island. Having many friends and acquaintance is very blissful but, it couldn't also be helped if a few self motivated beast of the "predatory class" that has spiritual cravings would detect and had tried to hunt my soul. On this few occasions I find myself of being blessed with comprehensive fighting experience as referenced to what I experienced in my former world. Gave me necessary insights and extremely accurate attacks points that improved quite a lot of my theories about close quarter combat.

Battles with the use of spiritual force would normally only affect those who are more inclined to it. I had tried to avoid unnecessary confrontations especially if other inhabitants would be mercelessly included because of it. I make it to a point that whenever being targeted or challenged I will drag the opponent out in a field far away so no unpleasant casualties may be born from it. Due to my attitude towards this battles I gained fame and respect coming from every part of the Boundless Archepelago. It was never easy being challenged at average of 3 times a day, some participants would even come from the southern islands.

Little did I know that because of the numerous battle encounters, that I had ended in merciful passionate ways, mostly in forms of subjugations, one hit critical strikes and monstrous uphival counters. I was already being evaluated, as a prospect candidate of becoming a "Diety Protector" for the Boundless Archepelago. Though they do not lack skilled and talented candidates, me being a reserve could always add up on the security force the Islands need. For finding peace in harmony is the ultimate role of the Boundless Archepelago.

Surely in figthing was allowed, encouraged greatly but only to elevate all aspiring talent's strength, to develop or enhance skill sets and techniques that are to be passed on to the future inhabitants of the islands. By progress, it means.. that there would be times when some individuals are being all fearless that they would end up having the notion of venturing beyond the Boundless Archepelago. This had happened many times in the pass that even the current rulers of each tribes had unpleasantly experienced. Others find it fear instilling while most would, in regards of proving their capabilities would tirelessly embark on a quest of supremacy. Even if being the end of it all may just turn for the unlikeable still the adventure of the life time out ways everything!

This lead on the integration of building sacread fighting arenas on each island hosted by the most eldest tribe in the area to ensure the ancient rules for guidelines are followed and enforced accordingly. Where the warriors of the old circle from the last gathering who are still living are the once in charge. Never has a tribe failed to produce a hero hailed in their native areas. Each tribe conducts a birth ritual for each infant born of mostly boys, for they seek pure strength, combat efficiency and because of the brutality they had ruled out the women of the tribes in participating. But rules could be bend especially if few independent tribes compose of only women are to be disclose. This all women tribes had at times choose to adjugate willfully if they think no one of them is worthy to participate in the battles..however once they do, the rankings of the past would always be labeled as Broken.

The mantle of Tribal chieftains all over the Archepelago has revolved never bound by blood alone. It has always been strength with wisdom, capabilities that shoots the lowest of the hierarchy into the very top. No one can question strength but the capabilities that an individual with enough knowledge is a living testimony.

A ruler of a particular region usually ends up on the hands of a champion. A champion can rule more than just a region if his own capabilities can dominate a fellow champion and made it submit. This system had been observe true out the ages although not very often could this conclusion be final. For the likely hood of these matters to end is only when the whole forces of the rival tribes are wipe put. Only then could the territory be deemed unrivaled in that region of power.
