Ancient History (Part 1)

"Well anyway, let's jump down." Said Zeref.

Tang Wulin rolled his eyes but nevertheless began to jump down. Streaks of light shot towards him and began to warp around him until they formed a ball.

As he was descending down into the tunnel, he began to feel his vision turning hazy. He furrowed his brow and began glancing around, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary. But he knew something was wrong as his bloodline and powers inside of him were acting up as if they were trying to resist something.

The ball of light he was in was fluctuating and his mind was shaking as blacks spot started to form around his vision. He could feel he was partially away from losing consciousness as he was losing control of his body.

Then, his soul core trembled and then burst with power inside of Tang Wulin body. Various energies exploded from his body with strands of light dancing everywhere. They all began to interweave around him and nullifying the foreign energy that was trying to invade his mind.

Tang Wulin furrowed his brow as whatever was trying to take his mind away was stopped by the energy in his soul core. Not only that but his dragon slayer and devil slayer powers were moving around his body as if to safeguard it.

'What the hell was that?' Thought Tang Wulin.

"Did something happen?" Questioned Zeref with Sleipnir chiming in too.

As Tang Wulin was about to tell them about the incident just now, a voice rang out.

"Impressive. For a mortal to have the energy of the gods and not just one too."

Tang Wulin could feel a divine power was around him but he didn't know where. It was then the ball of light around him shined and he felt his mind being forcibly taken away.

Even with his powers trying to repel it back, were useless as Tang Wulin only saw darkness. It felt like days before he could open his eyes and found himself in the void of space.

'Where am I?' Thought Tang Wulin as he looks around.

It was then spots of light began appearing, causing Tang Wulin to furrow his brows as he knew those specks of light weren't simple. His spiritual sense was warning him that these specs of light were something other-worldly and were somewhat similar to the energy in his soul core.

"I'm even more impress, your senses are way stronger than a mortal. Could it be your divine sense have been developed?"A voice rang out causing Tang Wulin to turn around and see the speaker.

The speaker was an old man with an appearance similar to that of a human but with golden skins and a starry robe. The man eyes were like stars that shined as he stared out at the void in front.

Yet the strangest thing about the old man was the otherworldly aura he gave off. Tang Wulin only felt this kind of aura and profoundness from beings like the calamities.

"You brought me here?" Questioned Tang Wulin to the old man. The old man eyes shined even more as a slight smirk appeared on his exceptional face.

"No and Yes." Said the old man causing Tang Wulin to roll his eyes. He didn't know why these old figures love being vague. It was something that even those old lizards loved to do even as he was slaughtering them.

"Just answer me straight." Said Tang Wulin with a deadpan look causing the old man to chuckle.

"This space is a place where all who past the third floor will be brought to. You were supposed to be brought here but the divine energy and those other-worldly power inside of you fought back against the dungeon's power. Not only could they fight back but also destroy it." Said the old man with a hint of respect in his voice.

Tang Wulin nodded his head from the answer. It seems this was apart of the dungeon, and his friends may have been brought to this space. Although he did wonder why this space felt a bit familiar.

As he was about to say something else, he felt a pulse surging from him and then a silhouette began to form behind him. It didn't take too long for the silhouette to form as it began curling its body around him and causing him to be surprised.

"Leviathan."

"Daddy! Are you ok? I felt something dragging you away and so I followed you!" Shouted Leviathan as it began rubbing his head on Tang Wulin neck. While this was happening, the old man eyes shined with stars once he glances at Leviathan but nonetheless didn't say anything.

"How did you get here?" Questioned Tang Wulin to Leviathan but he only blinks his eyes at him.

Tang Wulin lips twitch as this wasn't the first time this little guy has done something outrageous or abnormal. Now that he thinks about it, Zeref did say there was something special about him.

Tang Wulin began closely inspecting Leviathan but no matter how long he looked, he couldn't find anything that different.

The little guy did gain some golden scales on him, with the trident marking on his forehead which he guessed was the Sea God mark was still there. He still didn't know how Leviathan got it but nonetheless other than that, everything was the same.

"What is this place."Questioned Tang Wulin to the old man after realizing he has more pressing concerns.

"The question I have been waiting for you to ask." Said the old man. Then with a sigh, he flicks his finger and causing the speck of lights to fluctuate.

The specks of light combined to together to form a flat, rotating disk containing countless specks of lights. Tang Wulin raised a brow as he knew these specks were forming galaxies and not only one but countless of them.

In fact, now that he looks at it, he could see countless types of galaxies that were being displayed with varying shape and figure. If he looked carefully, he could see countless solar systems inside of these small galaxies.

"In the universe, there are countless galaxies that either grew or are sometimes formed through time, these galaxies are ruled by the divine realm or god realm known by others." Said the old man causing Tang Wulin eyes to arch a brow.

"The God Realm rules over the galaxies?" Questioned Tang Wulin.

"Yes."

Each Galaxy in the vast universe was under the rule of a God Realm. Wouldn't this mean there wasn't just one God Realm but countless others in the universe? If anyone else other than Tang Wulin heard this, they would be too overwhelmed and take a long time to recover.

The old man subtly nods as he saw Tang Wulin being unshaken by the revelation. He then sighed as he continued speaking.

"There was a countless amount of God Realms throughout the universe with some being around since the birth of time and space from creation. Most realms were formed from the universe letting out a surge of creation and chaos."

"These realms prosper for an immeasurable number of years, in fact, some even became Realms that could tower over a great deal of the universe. And of course, because of their vast growth, they would also come into conflict."

The space before Tang Wulin and the old man changed as they witnessed an ancient spectacle take fold. It was as beautiful as fireworks, as stunning as the birth of a star. The scenery he saw, was something one would only see in story or legends.

He saw beings of legend clashing with each other. The elements began to scatter down like falling stars across the sky from the gods using their power. He saw the gods being able to create explosions that level everything, planets breaking and engulfed in flames.

Giants that were as big as planets crushing everything beneath their feet and then being crushed by others as small as a human.

"There were many conflicts and collision with other gods in the past. But there were also those who kept to themselves or made peace with the others."

Tang Wulin saw realms that were in an isolated part of space and realms with the gods holding each other with smiles. Tang Wulin could feel his lust for battle igniting from watching these being and their countless war. Their power easily surpassed him at his peak and yet that did nothing to deter him from wanting to fight them.

"It was a time where anything could happen. Even the gods came to known the foreign emotion of fear."Said the old man as space before both of them began to warp and change.

It was then that Tang Wulin saw the stars falling from the vast void of space and God Realms exploding with all the power of the universe, as bright as a thousand suns. Tang Wulin eyes widen as the scene kept changing.

Now he saw a whole battlefield of different types of Gods, each with their own spectacular and terrifying origin standing next to each other. Yet the most shocking thing about them was not their dazzling armors, weapons or even their divine aura.

It was their face that was covered with fear.

"I'm sure you're wondering why? Why would these extraordinary figures have a picture of fear on their face with their vast power?"Said the old man with a look of melancholy on his face.

It should be known the gods were truly beings at top of heaven and earth. A sole thought could collapse a continent and destroy the ocean. Shatter the world with a finger, and they could devour millions a whole civilization with a single breath. They were incomparably powerful and stood above all else.

Their power truly transcended the power of mortals, a power that could easily wipe out the planet, moons and the sun. So how could beings like these show the expression of fear? No, the question should be what could make them show this type of emotion.

"It was a sad thing that they didn't know there are people beyond people and Heavens beyond the Heavens." Said the old man.

And with a flap of his sleeves, the image before both of them changed.

Tang Wulin watches as the countless realm was destroyed. Stars, Suns, and planets were being devoured one by one. He saw Gods and Goddesses rising up with numerous types of powers.

He saw many different types of god realm coming together. They were all raining down countless amounts of attacks that could shake all of heaven and earth. He saw different towering figures using literal planets and stars as weapons.

Technology that could easily wipe out a whole planet was being implemented. Even the planets and sun that gained sentience seemed to be raining down attacks. But this begs the question, what were they fighting?

'Where is the fo-.'

Tang Wulin narrowed his eyes as his instincts screamed at him and his eyes gaze over a figure that was shrouded in darkness. He didn't know how or why but just looking at that figure caused his instincts to scream out the dangers of the being before him.

"What is that?" Said Tang Wulin. Leviathan that was curled around Tang Wulin began sneering at the figure but there was a large amount of fear in its eyes.

"The one who laid waste to all creation in the vast universe. The incarnation of the heavens and earth wrath."Said the old man.

Primordial chaos surges about with the laws of time breaking and the vast void shattering. A formless figure shrouded in darkness that reached as high as the stars themselves. It towered in the boundless void as if it had existed eternally. Within the formlessness, a boundless and immeasurable existence was there in front of him but it exceeded his ability to comprehend.

Tang Wulin watches as the being shrouded in darkness simply swung its arm and collapsing everything before it. The universe was shaking just from the steps of the being as it moved forward.

Thousands of thousands of gods leaped up to attack the being but with one punch, they were all annihilated. Tang Wulin watched as countless Gods Realms were destroyed and slaughtered.

Countless technologies that would put the world of Douluo Dalu and even Earthland to shame were fired upon the being. Yet none of it had any effect and the formless figure marched on destroying it all.

God Realm was crushed in the figure hands. Countless God Realms were being destroyed as the being rampaged through heaven and earth as if it was unrivaled under the heavens. Destruction followed the formless figure as it moved through heaven and earth.

The universe became painted with the blood of the gods. This type of power was too frightening with no equal.

"That figure, that you are seeing, is not an adversary."

"No, he is more like an inevitable disaster that can not be overcome and be tamed."

"The Universe Eater."

"Dues Ex Machina."

"The Eternal Star."

"Typhon."
