Chapter 2 The Divine Realm
The young man instantly remembered why he died and started to cry. "But..why me? I'm no one special. I got so many killed. Ones who believed in me and thought I'd create change…All I did was create devastations."
Elijah sat and watched the young man cry and let him. He needed to get this all out if he was going to take on the mission he required. After a bit, the tears quietly subsided. "I know it was rough but those reasons are the exact reasons you're here"
"What do you mean? Why am I here?"
Elijah looked at him as if he possibly wanted to reconsider but it lasted only a second. "Your world sits inside a realm that is one of many. Each realm has its own God. Think of me as the overseer for them all. Normally we Gods cannot interfere, for those are the laws set forth by the True One. But It's come to my attention that your world in particular, has developed quite the nasty infection that must be cleansed."
"I'm Sure you've seen it firsthand as it even led to your own death. You will rid your world of this infection. We as Gods cannot directly interfere, but we can select an envoy to carry out our will."
"So you all sit around watching horrible things happen to good people and YOU CALL YOURSELVES GODS!!!!!" Yuan shouted but Elijah didn't take offense. He knew the pain the young man felt which is why he decided to do this.
"It pains me to say that you are correct. I've thought about breaking the rule but doing so would be an insult to the True One. Even us Gods must answer to someone. But there is a reason I am acting now. The mortals have stumbled upon Divine essence which has given birth to what you would call mana birthing magic. Normally this isn't a problem as mortals evolve."
"But a few have discovered the dark divine essence and are actively using it to influence themselves and the people around them. If enough are afflicted, it will give rise to the dark Gods who can actively break the plane to the Divine Realm possibly upsetting the celestial order. Do you see why you are here now?"
Yuan looked shocked. He had no idea such an event could happen. They were all told since birth only Royals were allowed to use magic abilities. But to know they found it by complete accident. It's would upset the Law of the land if people knew. Royals were top dogs and everyone beneath was only alive to serve in some capacity. It explained so many things. Why people from villages would go missing if they displayed any type of ability. They were a threat. Yuan was fuming as the realizations all started kicking in.
Elijah sat watching Yuan and knew he must've figured it out. "Now the reason it's you. As I've said I've watched your world for awhile and your particular region has the highest dark essence amount. I'm assuming it's originating from there. Throughout the period of time I've observed, only you have sought to change things. Despite being against overwhelming odds, you stayed true to self and fought for what you believed was right. It even cost you your life" That is the making of a perfect envoy."
Yuan stood up wiping his face with a new look of determination. His actions got the attention of the Gods, how could he not take this chance to fix his broken land. "I'll do it"
Elijah smiled. "Good. First your appearance will need to change. You reviving would raise too many questions." Elijah waved his hand as Yuan body started to rapidly change. He grew taller, he could feel his muscles growing. his short hair immediately grew to shoulder length and his face changed. It now became more refined. Yuan had become a model looking guy.
"This personal change should aid you on your journey and with it you've received something else." Suddenly what looked like a magical window appeared in front of Yuan.
"This is known on some worlds as a System. It will help you keep up with your progress so you know what's left to do"
