Chapter 9: Location

As soon as Igris went to the Shadow Domain, Alex started to think about some plans for the future.

'Hmm...My shadow soldiers are going to be my greatest trump card in this world. I think I shouldn't show them unnecessarily. I already have a few plans regarding them and the Primal Chaos itself. I am gonna use my shadows in such a way that they create a change in the civilizations of this world itself.'

'Damn, It was always my dream and it's probably every man's and woman's dream to create a change in the world, to mold the world as they see fit. The only problem I feel is in cultivation world is seeing the people weaker than themselves as ants. Now that I have the ability to reshape the world, I will definitely do that.'

'What I have planned for this world is something that will help reshape the society and their mindset. But it will come at the cost of blood, lots and lots of blood. Hmm...lets think of a name for this plan.'

' "The Removal of Chinese Syndrome?"...nah too racisit.'

' "The Big Bad Reboot"? or the "Project: World Makeover"? or maybe "Operation: No More Noobs"? "Peacemaker"?'

'Fuck, I should try to be a little less cringy. Hmm... let's think of a new name, whatever comes now will be final, no more overthinking. So, what should it be?'

'Yes! this one is good, cringy but not too cringy, moreover it fits my powers as well.'

"Shadow Genesis"!

'Yup this is gonna be the name of the grand plan of mine.'

'Basically means the concept of a new beginning or creation (genesis) emerging from the shadows, symbolizing the rebirth or transformation I am aiming to achieve.

'Those arrogant young masters should be grateful to me for thinking of a plan for the greater good of the world.....not that they would be alive after I am done executing this plan. Haha!'

'But I really need to consider a lot before even thinking of starting this plan. This will cause a lot of blood on my hands and I need to actually see the world to check if it's really worth it or not'.

His thoughts were interrupted by the soft hum of energy in the air. Alex turned his gaze upward, his eyes narrowing as he sensed a familiar presence approaching. A faint black line cut through the sky, growing larger and more distinct with each passing second.

"That must be Bellion," Alex muttered to himself. He crossed his arms, watching the dark figure rapidly descend toward the clearing. A slight gust of wind stirred as Bellion, his most powerful shadow warrior, landed gracefully beside him, his towering form casting a long shadow over the ground.

Bellion, unlike Beru, exuded an aura of calm and authority. His armor gleamed darkly in the morning light, and his crimson eyes, hidden beneath his helm, glowed with a quiet intensity. He bowed deeply before Alex, his voice deep and resonant as he spoke.

"My Liege," Bellion began, his tone respectful yet firm, "I have completed the task you gave me. We are currently on a continent named Profound Sky Continent. It is one of the three continents of the Blue Pole Star which is the planet's name on which we are."

"This continent has seven major nations with the Divine Phoenix Empire being the biggest and most powerful. Other than the seven nations there are also the Four Great Sacred Grounds that are more powerful than any of the seven nations and are supposedly the true rulers on the continent."

"I did not find much information on the other two continents other than the fact the people call the inhabitants of one of the continent namely the Illusory Demon Realm as demons."

"There is not much information about the two continents available out there. People don't even know about the existence of the last continent, I only know cause I sensed it."

"There's also an inhabitant of the Illusory Demon Realm captured and trapped within a formation inside one of this empire's top power, namely the Heavenly Sword Villa."

Alex was surprised to find out that he was on the starting world of the protagonist and moreover considering that his grandfather was still imprisoned in the Heavenly Sword Villa, the story should either haven't yet started or did not reach the point of the Grandfather's release.

"I see, great work Bellion. I had an idea about this place but I wasn't sure whether or not we were here or not."

"I have a few places where I want to go later on but for now, you go and cultivate inside the Shadow Domain as well alongside Igris, I have a few tasks for you later, but for now go."

Bellion replied, "Yes, My Liege!" and turned to a shadow on the ground and merged with Alex's shadow.

'I guess the path to the Shadow Domain is still in my shadow huh.'

"Now, Beru, lead me to the place you have gathered my fruits and also the bath."

"Yes, My Liege!" saying so, Beru enveloped Alex in a ball of his energy and they started to fly.

The moment Alex began to be lifted above the ground, he started to panic inside, but he could not show it in front of Beru.

Soon, they reached two kilometer above the ground level and when Alex saw below, all he could think of was,

'What would happen if I were to fall from this height? Don't know, don't wanna find out either.'

Beru was going at a pretty high speed and within a minute, Alex saw a waterfall below and nearby it was an orchid of fruits.

Slowly they started to land on the ground and once they did, Beru spoke,

"My Liege, this whole garden was unoccupied by any being and the water from the waterfall is fit for your consumption."

Alex who was totally mesmerized by the beauty of the waterfall in front of him did not pay attention to what Beru said and just nodded his head. 

Beru seeing his Liege enjoying the beauty of the waterfall quietly went to the trees and plucked some fruits for him.
