Johnny entered a dark space; he could see nothing but darkness. He pinched his cheeks to make everything clear saying "This is not a dream."
He was very calm at the moment. He walks here and there, suddenly a white light flashes in front of him. Having so much curious thought his mind, he walked towards White light while clenching his fist. After he took a few steps, he felt the ground is shaking and something is coming out.
He swallowed saliva, looking very nervous at the moment. In front of him, ground breaks and two altars appeared. He previously had many thoughts in his mind, when he saw the altar he blanked out for a moment. Then suddenly some words appeared in front of him floating in the air.
"Congratulation for becoming Owner of Primal Chaos Celestial Dao Stone"
Without waiting for Johnny to get surprised another text appeared.
"Dao create Primal chaos, Primal chaos creates the Universe, and the Universe creates everything. Heaven and Earth, Dao is Supreme"
"Is that black stone really a Supreme treasure?" First Johnny got surprised but then became doubtful, why such treasure chose him as Owner. He didn't know anything about Dao or Primal Chaos; the only thing he knows is this is a great treasure that contains space inside of it.
"Yes," While Johnny was thinking, the word appeared in front of him.
"So what does this black stone do?" After verifying they could talk through the text, he didn't hesitate to ask questions.
"This is Primal Chao Celestial Dao Stone, not a black stone. As for the Owner question, according to the Owner's current strength, only one function can be revealed. Does the Owner want to know?" The text appeared as usual.
"What? There are many functions but can only be revealed with my strength? Well, it seems even if I became owner I can't control everything right? Then yes reveal this function to me" Johnny muttered thinking of various possibilities, he was a very calm and educated person so, he could guess its intention. Yes, it intends Johnny to get stronger and this is exactly was Johnny thinks all the time.
"Its first function is to evolve anything even beyond its rank" Text appeared.
"Anything?" This is a very critical function; if it really evolves anything then his first thought was to evolve his own talent. This is a very life-changing function.
"Yes anything this including talent, bloodline, treasures, arts, and everything" Text appeared
"Yes stone, please upgrade my talent" Without hesitation, Johnny bowed half requesting to increase his talent.
"But it cost" Text appeared
"Cost? What cost?" Johnny was very nervous at the moment because he knows if he can't evolve his talent then this talent will become a barrier between him and strength.
"Chaotic Points" Text appeared
"What are the Chaotic Points?" Johnny got surprised; he thought the price would be very serious.
"Chaotic Points are points earned by Owner either by exchanging energy with Primal Chaos Celestial Stone or by killing any life form" Text appeared

"Then aren't you making me walk on slaughter path" Johnny questioned, after all, he won't walk on the slaughter path no matter the cost.
"It seems the Owner does not understand the path of cultivation. There are only two paths one is with heart and another is without heart. Those who walked on the path with heart, they choose what is right to them not to others. The cultivation is to protect others but to do that you need to slaughter your enemies but sometimes you may also need to cooperate with them. Think of them as you. You are very sensitive and judge everything according to your heart, so you won't walk on the path to kill innocent.
But people that walk of the path without heart, they have only one thought and that is to get strong. They got cruel to themselves and also to their friends. They slaughter innocent for their benefits, they laid conspiracy again and again until their enemy dies. So this path is towards evil. You have to know path and arts are not evil only creature heart is." Text appeared
Reading this Johnny felt into silence, he thought he would never walk on the path of slaughter but he forgets, humanity's main enemy is Animals that are currently killing humans. If he doesn't kill them, then what would be the point of cultivation? What would be the point to get strong? What would be the point to be human?
"Okay, I will walk on the path that my heart chooses," Johnny said with determination in his heart.
"Okay but stone, how does killing and exchanging energy works?" After calming himself down, Johnny asked
"Owner will get one point on killing creature on the same rank as Owner, two points on a higher rank and as rank increase, points will also increase. The owner can exchange Dark crystal which is the most basic energy source. The owner will get chaotic points according to the rank of Dark Crystal" Text appeared
Reading this Johnny was a little speechless, he needs to kill the same creature and all he will get is just one point. This is very cheap. He didn't know anything about the rank of dark crystals, so he stayed silent for it.
"How much will it cost to increase my element grade?" Johnny asked
"It is cost two chaotic points to increase from first grade to second then increasing each grade will cost plus two chaotic points with a previous grade point. That means if the owner wants to increase the grade of his Dark element to the same grade as thunder element, then it will cost twenty chaotic points" Text appeared
"But I don't even have one chaotic point, Stone can you give me some loan. I promise I will pay you back double in future" Johnny was really desperate to increase his talent, he even begged for a loan. Unfortunately for him, another text brings bad news for him and good news for him.
"There is no loan function but since Owner is the first Owner of Primal Chaos Celestial Dao Stone, it has prepared a free gift for Owner but only for once in his lifetime" Text appeared
"Really for me" Johnny nearly got tears in his eyes after reading the text
"Yes" Text appeared and disappeared then in the middle of two stones, two projectiles were shown.
This projectile shows a picture of two people Johnny saw fighting that night. He was very shocked at seeing their projectiles.
Suddenly the text appeared "In front of Owner, a man in golden cloth is Dragon Emperor and Man in white cloth is Magic Emperor. These two were very powerful to break through another level they need insight into Dao, they found the Primal Chaos Celestial Dao Stone position but since there were two of them trying to get the Primal Chaos Celestial Dao Stone, so they fought. They fought for hundreds of years but unfortunately Primal Chaos Celestial Dao Stone didn't show any connection with them so when they were having their last breath, Primal Chaos Celestial Dao Stone decides to exterminate them. When Owner saw them, they were starting their fight, due to time and space disruption, many things happened that the owner can't understand now.
But even if they were exterminated, their power was so great Primal Chaos Celestial Dao Stone has to use all of its energy while it was already sealed before it exterminates them. Primal Chaos Celestial Dao Stone was sealed during a taboo event, so at that time, when Primal Chaos Celestial Dao Stone fell at Owner's hands, it a big wound on the Owner palm which exposed Primal Chaos Celestial Dao Stone to the Owner blood, even though Primal Chaos Celestial Dao Stone could still reject Owner but may it was destiny or luck. Primal Chaos Celestial Dao Stone chooses you as an Owner."
"Or maybe helplessness" Johnny pour cold water on the stone saying true reason.
The text didn't appear as if it was embarrassing to say anything.
Johnny didn't care; he walked near those projectiles and saw another line of text with something very unexpected written on it
