Shiba Tatsuya could be called as the strongest Magician in existence. With his Divine Left, and Demon Right that could completely override the world's concept, he completely overturned the magic society, and was hailed as the "Mahesvara." His one last emotion, his love for his dear sister, was the only lifeline this world was holding on. Upon losing that last emotion, the world he was residing in, would surely be engulfed with his power. Power that was powerful enough to completely devour the planet into nothingness. And, that emotion died, as Tatsuya clutched her sister's head into his embrace. His face which was usually emotionless and stoic, now distorted into despair and sadness. Knowing that the world wasn't necessary anymore, he activated his magic, Demolition. And completely, destroyed the planet by converting it from mass into energy. Despite that, he found himself waking up into an unknown world, he was unfamiliar of. A world where psions (magical particles) doesn't exist, but where profound energy exists. Shiba Tatsuya now embarks into a new path, as he realizes that his lost emotions was now within him. He, who was bounded into chains since he was born, was now freed from those locks. The living God now walks together with the other material beings... with a pace that was faster than light, and strength that was strongest than a Magnetar Star.
Chu Xin slowly ascended the Heaven Trampling. She looked dignified and regal, her robes fluttering in the air. She neither went fast or slow in the process.
Every single step honestly brought a lot of surprise from her.
She didn't expect that her willpower and determination will be tested thoroughly. It was also being tempered in a frightening rate.
Even then, she still found the test becoming more difficult in each step. She would found herself assaulted by extremely realistic illusions that can even confuse her soul and memories!
Only her can imagine the difficulty of the Heaven Trampling but she persisted.
Others could see her advancing at steady pace, but she spent dozens of hours inside the illusions. It seems that only the contestants can feel the difference in time.
The audience could only see them advancing normally, but they weren't aware of the actual scenarios on the Heaven Trampling.
When the other contestants arrived at the 40th step, some of them have begun to stop. They were then quickly ejected from the Heaven Trampling to the platform below.
They all had different expressions in their face, some had looks of confusion, frustration, and even fear.
The audience could only gulp in surprise when they saw the contestants on the platform. They felt that something is amiss, opting them to focus their eyes further on the participants on the Heaven Trampling.
When Chu Xin stepped into the 50th step of the Heaven Trampling, she found the space around her suddenly distort. Memories that were buried within her soul forced themselves to appear.
…
A man in black robes stood before a woman. Looking closely, the woman resembled Chu Xin in terms of appearance, but her demeanor distinctively forced everything around her to yield. The man looked calm and unperturbed, but a hint of sadness was present within his eyes.
Blood flowed from his chest, as he silently stared at his own wife. It was an unbelievable scene of betrayal where deep and evil schemes were involved.
"…You look calm, Chu Yan." The woman coldly muttered.
Chu Yan looked at Meng Yue calmly. It looked like whatever was happening, it didn't matter nor did he care about it. The sadness within his eyes weren't for Meng Yue, but for the child behind his wife.
"You will regret this action of yours." Chu Yan slowly said.
Meng Yue simply coldly stared at him, before retracting the golden sword plunged into Chu Yan's chest.
The golden sword emitted a weird and odd aura. Black snakes coiled within the blade of the golden sword, tainting the holiness of the sword. Yin and Yang mixed and coiled with each other.
Chu Yan despite having severe injuries stood straight. He ignored the black light emitting from his body. It was the poison within the golden sword that was rapidly decaying his life away.
Meng Yue looked at her husband slowly dying calmly. Not a hint of emotion was present within her eyes, only unmatched darkness.
Chu Yan sighed and knew that everything had gone wrong. His wife that always looked warm and approachable now looked like a demon queen.
A flicker of light flashed within his eyes. He ignored the pain and recalled every scene of his life. Everything would have gone fine if it weren't for the Heavenly Yin Profound Veins. The very profound veins that ignited jealousy across the entire universe.
Chu Yan and Meng Yue fought for their daughter and flew away from the cultivation world. They did everything they can and managed to get away. They were two of the most powerful existence in the Primitive Dao Universe. They had the capability to escape.
But, they weren't aware of the extreme backlash because of the birth of a child with the Heavenly Yin Profound Veins. The backlash that caught them both unprepared.
This backlash was the existence of an unrecognizable existence that suddenly appeared before them. It was a black-clad lady. It managed to easily integrate itself with Meng Yue, slowly eating away her soul.
Chu Yan and Meng Yue spent ten years… hundreds of years… waiting for their daughter to wake up. The Heavenly Yin Profound Veins made their daughter unable to wake up. It took their daughter's little body a few thousand years to merge itself with the godly profound veins.
During their time of wait, they weren't aware of the backlash. It caught them unprepared when they were happy at their daughter's awakening.
When they first heard their daughter's cries, Meng Yue and Chu Yan felt their whole world blossom into myriad of colors. But unfortunately, the backlash that was waiting all this time, suddenly made its move.
"I don't know what you are, but you will not succeed. There are countless experts in existence. You will meet your nemesis and regret being born." Chu Yan looked at his wife… No, at the devil.
"…" Meng Yue stood still, looking as if everything is under control.
The devil could sense the Chu Yan do not possess any power to save himself, his wife, or their daughter. The Heavenly Yin Profound Veins exist for her to use. Their daughter is just a mere sacrifice or stepping stone in her eyes.
Chu Yan slowly closed his eyes and dropped to the ground. The poison had gotten deep within his body and mind, destroying him completely. Even then, his eyes looked calm in the very end.
The devil looked away and turned its eyes toward the child behind her. She placed the golden sword in the chest of the child. Chu Xin silently looked at her mother, unaware of anything. In little Chu Xin's mind, her mother only brought her warmth and nothing else.
The devil applied force on her hand, but she soon found out that she could not control the body anymore. Her eyes widened in shock, as she backed away from little Chu Xin.
She soon found drop of tears falling from her eyes. The devil felt an inexplicable feeling, as well as a sense of crisis. The black-clad lady inside Meng Yue moved out of the former's body.
"No!!" It hoarsely roared towards little Chu Xin, bringing out every power it can muster.
It was too late, as a grand seal suddenly appeared within little Chu Xin's eyebrows. It was too powerful and sent the black-clad lady flying.
Meng Yue weakly looked at her own daughter. She smiled and muttered, "Little Xue, grow up to become a beautiful woman and find someone to spend your life with."
She lost all of her strength and dropped to the ground, beside Chu Yan. They both passed away, filled with worry and sadness for their daughter. But they knew, Chu Xin would be able to do it.
The black-clad lady performed an incantation to seal the grand seal within little Chu Xin's eyebrows, but it was ineffective. The devil watched the grand seal in little Chu Xin's body bring her away.
Bang!
The devil kicked the ground and angrily roared at the sky! Its eyes bloodshot, and filled with hatred.
…
"—!" Chu Xin quickly woke up from the dream. Droplet of tears fell from her face.
The Heaven Trampling quickly ejected her to the platform. The audience fell silent while looking at the beautiful princess crying silently.
Before they had any chance to react, Chu Xin vanished from everyone's eyes. She reappeared beside Tatsuya who quickly hugged her in comfort.
"Don't worry… I'm here." Tatsuya whispered to her.
"Wu… Hu…" Chu Xin broke down and cried in Tatsuya's embrace. She cried loudly and sadly, hugging Tatsuya as tight as she could do.
Tatsuya patted her head and hugged her. However, an uncontainable emotion flashed continuously within his eyes. His 'eyes' landed on the Heaven Trampling, before it pierced the very fabric of space, way beyond the Primal Chaos Universe.
