Chapter 75: Impact and Revelations (Part 1)

It had been six months since the establishment of the Planetary Trade Organization and the whole galaxy knew about it. It has become quite a craze among the people of the galaxy. The economy of the Galaxy had now taken an upward swing as various companies and people were hired to build whatever infrastructure the planetary buyers wanted to have build on their newly acquired planets. The most boom was seen in the building industry, transport industry, arms industry and management industry. According to experts, the income of people from all over the galaxy had increased and massive population migration would be exprienced from the heavily populated and poorer regions of the galaxy.

The Planetary Trade Organization had sold 6,000 habitable planets and 12,000 inhabitable planets netting itself 14 quintrillion credits. The organization had also brokered the deal of 40,000 planets which are a mixture of habitable and inhabitable planets. This trade earned 350 quintrillion credits to the organization. An information bounty worth 50 trillion credits is placed for the information about the silent partners of the Planetary Trade Organization. The PTO main servers face 10 Million slicing attempts daily and the amount of people trying to bribe the people working at the organization were in millions. Alexander raised the salary of the employees by 30 times as compared to the normal salary and only allowed the inflitration up to the low level only. Those trying to hard were send a warning and those who still don't stop then, a bounty was placed on them. The people in power now knew that the Republic was not in the control of the Planetary Trade Organization but since, they were given free money, they kept quite. Alexander was able to keep all the gathered funds for himself. Alexander used these funds to buy massive amount of resources and equipment from the newly opened mines and factories in order to develop his kingdom faster.

The amount of madness that was unleashed by the denizens of the galaxy when the organization revealed the lucky draw was mind blowing. People had rioted in order to get the forms. The management of PTO imposed a fee of 1,000 credits for the form. The form was made online on holonet as Alexander was not capable of making tens of trillions of force contracts. Every bank account would be associated with a number and after the association with the banking clan, every person was allotted a single number. A separate CQC would generate the 10 lucky numbers from all the numbers and the people were encouraged to keep their numbers secret as ' accidents' could happen. If the person is confirmed to be dead, then the number would be rendered useless. The PTO made 2000 quintrillion from the selling of online forms. This meant that there were 2 quintrillion people who brought the form.

This data was released on the official holosite of the organization and shocked the denizens of the galaxy at the amount of people confirmed present in the Galaxy. This data brought PTO against the Population Department of the government as according to them, there were only 60 trillion people in the galaxy. Alexander concentrated on the force to know the amount of population of the galaxy was in quadtrillions. The important and major planets of core and inner regions were completely developed to the limit that's why they looked so populated but in reality they had the least population out of all regions. The majority of the population was concentrated in the slice region of the galaxy, which was also the largest region of the galaxy. Alexander had decided to focus his personal attention mainly on this region while his subject would slowly conquer the other regions.

Alexander meditated as he was on the last stage before the integration of his soul. It took him 3 days to completely integrate his soul with his body. As soon as his soul merged with his body, Alexander felt a jolt running through his body and he fainted. When he woke up, he found himself standing on a white sandy beach. Alexander thought, " I think that I am in a similar situation as faced by Harry Potter when he got hit by the second killing curse. Now, who brought me here and for what purpose?"

Alexander heard soft footsteps coming from behind him and saw a small girl with blond hair and blue eyes coming towards him. Alexander paid attention to the face and found that the small girl would look exactly like him if he was to be a female and was a child. Alexander thought, " This is the chibi version of my female self. Now, which entity this lass is? Death, Life, Eternity or some other female cosmic entity or a creepy male cosmic entity which likes to present himself as a small girl.

Suddenly Alexander heard a mixture of voices sounding in his head, " I AM FORCE."

Alexander took a deep breath and said, " OK!!! Your voice is more creepy than your face. Now please, listen to my voice and copy it in a softer and gentler tone. Do you understand what I am trying to imply?"

The little girl which was apparently the manifestation of force nodded and said in a normal girl's voice, " I have pulled you here for a reason. I want you to conquer this dimension and integrate it in your kingdom."

Alexander asked in a suspicious tone , " How do you know all this?"

The little girl smiled and said, " When you opened your mind to sense the life energy, you open your mind to me so I was able to read your mind."

Alexander asked, " You said life energy not force. Are Force and Life energy different?"

The girl said, " Do you know how force came into existence?" Alexander shook his head in denial.

The girl continued, " Force is a mutated form of life energy. Force was formed when the divinity fragment of a goddess of life fell into the prime universe. The world laws cannot allow such a thing to exist but they were also not powerful enough to expel it so they twisted it in order to weaken it further. The force was born due to this."

Alexander asked, " So, what are you? Some residing conciousness in that fragment. I am not going on a vengence quest."

The girl laughed and said, " No, I am not a remenant conciousness of some dead goddess, I am my own being. Now, let's continue the history session. The divinity fragment fought but since it was already so weakened, it deliberately shattered itself and fused with the world laws, it's intention was to absorb the life energy in order to reconstruct itself and be reborn as a new being but it didn't take into account that another fragment will fall in the same universe that it was in..."

Alexander interrupted, " Let me guess, this fragment was from the fellow who killed the original goddess of life but also sccummed to wounds or was offed by some follower or lover or friend of the goddess of life and like a spiteful villain decided to follow the fragments of the goddess in order to prevent himself from resurrecting in any form."

The little girl deadpanned, " No, the fragment was from the goddess' lover who was a death god. The whatever shitty group they were a part of forbade any relationship between the two as they were afraid of the power of the child born from their union despite the fact that it was nigh impossible for the child to be born as their divinities cancelled each other. The fragment still had some sort of harmonious relation between each other so the other fragment also shattered itself and merged with the world laws. Now, the world laws were perplexed on what to do with these unwanted burdens so started searching for a way to absorb the fragments in order to evolve themselves...."

Alexander spoke up, " How do you know this?"

The girl said in an impatient tone, " Let me finish first and then ask questions.... As I was saying...The world laws then used the death energy contained in the fragment to design an afterlife in order to advance itself. Since, the world laws didn't have much thought process, they made the afterlife but didn't remove the access of the add-ons from it.

Meanwhile, the fragments were trying to absorb the life and death energy respectively but found that there was only one energy available in this universe which was force but they can't absorb it so they started to absorb the only thing which was available to them, which were the emotions. It was easy to absorb emotions as their original self's were faith gods who drew their power from the faith of their followers. The life fragment absorbed the light emotions while the dark absorbed the dark emotions. This caused their initial harmony to slowly disrupt and they started fighting each other while the world laws observed from the sidelines waiting for their chance as they gathered power from absorbing the souls entering the afterlife created by them."

The girl let out a sad sigh and continued, " The fate of mortals is truly pitiful, they are used as a factory to generate emotional energy during their entire lives and then after death, their souls are also absorbed."

Alexander, " How did you come into existence?"

The little girl said, " When the souls are absorbed, an echo of their memories gets left behind as a form of residue. These residues over time joined together and formed a rudimentary conciousness which eventually evolved into a force entity. Since the force originated due to the world laws, they were the most connected to it, they subjugated the entity and used it to cause mass slaughters among the inhabitants. The slaughters were performed by putting entire planets to sleep and ending them in their sleeps so that no emotions are released at the time of death in order to not alert the fragments.

But the fragments were alerted as their supply was dwindling quite rapidly. At first, they suspected each other but soon found out about the activity of the world laws. They sought to end the entity and a war was waged on the planet, the entity was committing it's slaughter. The fragments could not find any being to channel their powers so they used the two moons present around the planet and channelled their powers through them."

Alexander muttered, " Tython and it's moons Ashla and Bogan."

The little girl nodded and said, " Yes, that's what mortals named that planet. After days of battle, the entity was killed and the fragments withdrew but their fight left an imprint on the planet and its moons. The three parties had weakened considerably in that fight, which allowed a new entity to take birth...."

Alexander fascinated by the tale asked,"Who?"

The girl said, " FORCE!!!"
