The night was quiet until a voice split through it, heavy and persuasive, like the toll of a distant bell.

“A message,” the preacher said, his words drifting through the village square like smoke. “A message that stirs the desire for a greater Will. Not the weak Will that fades like mist… but a Will that endures. A Will untouched by wall or poison. A Will that bends even death itself.”

The villagers exchanged looks. Some paused in their steps, others leaned out from their doorways, lanterns flickering in hand.

He paused, letting the silence stretch before his tone dipped lower, unsettling.

“A Will sought at the mention of a peculiar word. And those who seek it? As countless as the stars above.”

Then, suddenly, his voice thundered like a storm.

“That Will—the one you seek—is a god!”

The force of it startled a stray dog into barking, but the people didn’t flinch. Instead, a young man near the well scoffed, whispering, “Another zealot.” His neighbor rolled his eyes and muttered, “Always

Chapter 8: A strange power
"Who could have imagined it? The power of darkness held such futures. Not the power to raise the dead or craft beings from one’s own will — but something far more insidious. The power to twist what already exists.To corrupt. To make an army not of the lifeless, but of the living."Ngwan Le lay sprawled across his sofa, speaking with Darkness — the spiritual entity. It was after he had come back from the village. But his persona - dark god. Was not among them.After all he was still in the village.Ngwan Le had left the village soon after the near-dead body rose again. He didn't see the bloodshed that followed after the torture.“And that’s not all. Check your realm,”Darkness whispered, its voice like a shadow across the floor.Ngwan Le stood. As he drew upon his power, dark energy flickered around his body like oil and flame.Then“Even though I remain at the First Orifice of the Fourth Cycle,” he murmured, eyes wide,“my realm… it has already ascended to the Fourth Realm.”The Cycl

Chapter 6: Rebirth
The world had barely begun to whisper of Ngwan Le's death. Only a day had passed. The blood was still fresh on the ground where he fell.And yet, in that very place, something stirred.Not the fragile gasp of a meaningless life. But something heavier, sharper—something that once made the world bow the moment it drew breath.It wasn't a birth but a rebirth — Ngwan Le Tou.From nowhere, a spiritual black flame formed. It hung in the air like a single suspended drop of ink. From within it a shape resolved as the flame stretched, preserving its shape even as it grew.A spiritual being?Coated in black, the materialized form took a human silhouette. A twenty-one-year-old man stood where the flame was, blinking."Oh—my head. Where am I?" Ngwan Le said flatly. "A righteous man like me should have gone to heaven… is that it?" His eyes widened and his face went blank.Before he could speak again, a whisper cut across him. "Shut up, you dumb child."Ngwan Le froze. His blood ran cold. Someone w
Chapter 5: Purposed
It was at a time before the extraterrestrials ever set foot upon the earth.Droplets of water froze midair, hanging like scattered gems. The wind held its breath. Light from the sky didn’t just dim — it vanished, as though the heavens themselves had gone blind.Everything seemed as if time itself had halted, yet the daily lives of people carried on as if nothing were wrong. Despite the natural course of life stopping, everyone moved in their routines.And then, from beneath the soil, it began. Wisps of raw essence—ancient, luminous, alive—spiraled upward all across the world. They seeped from deserts, from oceans, from cracked sidewalks in forgotten towns. The earth itself exhaled.Minutes later, the world shuddered, then snapped back into motion. Light returned, winds stirred, droplets fell. Normalcy reigned once more.But nothing was normal.That moment had been a birth cry.The birth of the one who would shake the world—Ngwan Le Tou.Ngwan Le was born complete.Strength, talent, w
Chapter 4: The 7 manifestation
"I should have known better" with a stern expression I spoke.After I stiffened my muscles I added "After all, it's the primal origin manifestation"After spreading my legs."Light source within comprehension" I shouted.My hands palm pressed against each others as my arms raised to my chest level.Fragments of light was formed as condensed light sparks merged together.Then before the pillar could travel 2/5 the distance seperating it from me, a figure stoped it.Formed from the combination of light fragments condensed by the spark of light produced by my crushed great light soul....Yes, this figure, which yet again stopped the pillar, was still my very same great light soul, reformed from its very own light sparks.Though smaller but more condensed. As the light power which emanated from it in a disorderly way was now canalised.With both hands, my great light soul pressed the pillar forward, but with overwhelming momentum, the pillar exerted more pressure on my great light soul a
Chapter 3: The divine treasure power
With a deliberate motion, Roderick pulls something with an otherworldly glow out of a dimensional space.Some of the people looking at Mei Li, who was standing beside Roderick while protesting, recognised what Roderick held in his hands.Gasps erupted from the onlookers"Look at what Roderick is holding in his hand, isn't that our world fortune source?" Exclaimed someone with a confounded look."Yes, that is it, but why is it in his hand in the first place?" Another person mused.Whisper filled the airSomething was up, Roderick was holding our world fortune source and the people looking at it noticed it and questioned themselves"Wasn't Roderick the one who told us that Ngwan Le sized the world source for his own benefits? Didn't he claim that the world source was the wellspring of Ngwan Le's formidable power?" A woman's voice pierced through the chatter."Yes, he even recounted his encounter with Ngwan Le, insisting the world source was stolen and that the whole situation was merely
