Abyssal Lord Of The Magi World



"However, I do remember something of my previous home. A majestic tower with a red sun."

Zatiel's eyes widened when he heard Aion say that since it was the exact description that the Guardian said was on the other side of the Oblivion Gate. 

It could not be a coincidence, so that meant Aion once lived in the same realm as the Oblivion Gate creator. That was an individual with cultivation that was definitely at the Late Stage.

The Samsara Thearch had only learned about two living Late Stage Fourth Realm life forms, one of them being the Beyonder and the other the origin of the Rank 10 Hive. 

Obviously, he could not really speak or interact with any of them since one was his enemy, and the other was a hive mind that only knew how to consume. 

Guidance was essential in cultivation, and just blindly making your way through higher stages was incredibly complex and could lead to all sorts of trouble. An example of problems was Ezequiel and Venganza, who were stuck at the Initial Stage, incapable of rising to the Middle Stage without using reincarnation or avatars.

Zatiel focused on Aion for a second before his Samsara Pupil began to glow.

"I would like to use my power on your memories, trying to unlock them forcefully. It could be dangerous, but I need to know more about that place."

There was no hesitation on Aion's face as he nodded and closed his eyes, shutting down his mental defenses so his mind could reach optimal conditions for the procedure.

Zatiel did not waste time and put his hand over Aion's head as the Samsara Pupil glowed. He searched for the memories of Aion's past life and began to connect them with the use of karmic threads.

Aion's eyes trembled as more and more information appeared in his mind, and the sudden rush of emotions and experiences began to affect his personality. Luckily, his ego developed considerably during the First Samsara Tournament, so his nature was not changed.

The Samsara Thearch collected more and more memories, but some had suffered so much damage that they were useless, and others seemed to be under the influence of bizarre force, making it impossible to recover them. 

It took seventeen hours and a lot of effort, but Zatiel was able to recover most of Aion's memories. 

Aion's eyes grew confused for a moment as he adapted to the intense flux of experiences and emotions. Once his eyes regained their focus, there was a sharp light on them as he stared at Zatiel. 

There was no longer awe and wonder on Aion's face as he stared at the Samsara Thearch, similar to how Zatiel used to look at the powerhouses during his third life in the Prima Universe.

Zatiel did not really care about Aion's attitude since the one thing that mattered to him was the information in this one's mind. 

Aion did not act all mighty since even if he showed no reverence toward the Samsara Thearch, that did not mean there was any disrespect in his behavior.

"There are still some missing pieces, but that tower was considered to be at the center of all existence and named Empyrean Axis Bastion. It was the first thing to have existed and from which all reality emerged."

Zatiel's eyes narrowed when he heard that description. 

"According to whom?"

When Aion heard that question, a flash of absolute admiration and reverence appeared in his eyes as if the sole thought of those people could affect his mind and soul. 

"The Eternals."

Just the name was enough to tell Zatiel that those people were incredibly powerful.

Aion did not make him wait and continue speaking.

"The Eternals are the absolute rulers of Empyrean Axis Bastion, beings of incredible power. From the tower, their thoughts are able to expand across all creation, shifting reality to what they see fit. 

I can not remember their names or any personal information about them, but I know each is a life form at the limit of the Fourth Realm."

Zatiel instinctively clenched his fists as he understood the might of the Eternals. Those at the Late Stage was able to rewrite reality to their liking, so the strength of someone at the limit of the Fourth Stage was hard even to imagine.

If what Aion was telling the truth, the Eternals' mind could encompass all existence, meaning they were aware of the Beyonder, but none of them considered the cancerous universe a threat that needed to be neutralized.

A rueful smile appeared on Zatiel's face. What he considered an existential threat was just an eyesore for those in the highest stage of reality.

"Do you know what they are doing there?"

People's thirst for power and knowledge did not decrease as their cultivation increased; on the contrary, it grew stronger. There had to be a reason for the Eternals to take The Big Bang as their home, other than the fact it could extend the influence of their powers across the multiverse.

Aion did give an immediate answer as he went through his memories, trying to collect as much information as possible before 

"It has to do with the Creator."

"Creator?"

Zatiel adopted a solemn attitude when he heard that word. 

Creator had a lot of meaning across the universe, but if it was used by the Eternals, an entity at the highest level of reality that used the origin of existence as their home, it could only mean one thing.

"The one that gave birth to all of creation."

Aion's attitude was not any less serious than Zatiel's since just referring to that entity made him feel nervous.

"I have no information about the Creator, but I know that the Eternals consider the world with the form of a red sun above Empyrean Axis Bastion to be connected with him."

Zatiel stared at Aion for a moment before nodding. The information he gained was not of use to fight the Beyonder, but it expanded his understanding of the multiverse. 

"I appreciate your help. I will send you back to your family."

Aion clasped his hand and bowed to the Samsara Thearch as he vanished from the Sun and Moon Palace. 

Zatiel remained silent for a few minutes as he adapted to all the knowledge and the change in paradigm that it brought. 

For him, the Beyonder was a monster that would devour all existence if it was not stopped, but now he understood that the true limit of existence was much higher than just Late Stage.

Realizing that the problem that tormented your mind and soul was nothing in the grand scheme of things was not a pleasant sensation, but Zatiel's eyes soon regained their sharpness as he rose from the ground.

'It doesn't matter if I am only a tiny dot in this massive multiverse. I will protect the ones I love and rise above everything, to the point that reality itself can only look up to me.'

As he left the Sun and Moon Palace, silver flames emerged from Zatiel's eyes before fusing his consciousness into the Daybreak Universe's sky.

Soon the sky that extended for billions of light years began to glow as a massive runic formation emerged. That was the Endless Wheel of Samsara Reincarnation, meant to drive all the souls of death into the cycle of samsara, but this time it would have a new purpose.

Zatiel channeled the power of space-time into the Endless Wheel of Samsara Reincarnation, as he wanted to transform the universe's sky into a massive portal. 

There were trillions upon trillions of life forms in the Daybreak Universe, and it would take too much time to evacuate all of them through conventional measures. 

However, if the entire sky of the Daybreak Universe became a portal, people would only need to fly to it, and the evacuation would be over in just a few days. 

Of course, a portal so massive would require an enormous amount of energy and some stable enough to withstand the safe teleportation of billions of life forms by the second. 

Zatiel had created the Endless Wheel of Samsara Reincarnation dozens of thousands of years ago, and this one had grown more and more powerful enough to endure the massive weight of his task.

As Zatiel worked on the sky, he glanced to the distance with a smile since he felt the presence of the Emptiness Thearch approaching.

Ezequiel appeared inside the Daybreak Universe a few minutes later and saw the changes in the sky. He immediately understood Zatiel's goal and sent a golden orb to this one.

The orb began to revolve around Zatiel, and it had all the information he needed about the stronghold that would work as a beacon for the teleportation formation he was building. 

Ezequiel was the first to arrive, but just a few hours later, the other Thearch of the Daybreak Universe made his arrival. 

Venganza's aura was cold and full of killing intent, making it clear that his trip to the new universe had not been peaceful. He did not say a word and sent an orb to Zatiel before flashing toward his home.
