01 Law: Cultivation
Name: Ping'yan
Ping'yan innately knew that the purpose of her life was to establish a law. Somnus had designed a relatively simple universe. While he had created the basic foundation of time, matter, and space. The universe was quite lacking.
It is said that concepts have to comprehend a law to wake up. This wasn't 100% true. These laws didn't exactly exist yet. They needed to be woven into existence by the concepts themselves. The golden heavenly tablet was like a diploma.
It was the qualifications to be in charge of a law. You can think of them sleeping like going to school. Waking up is graduation. They can then get a 'job'.
But if they fail to pass in time. They will not be able to graduate. They will 'die'. Their source will scatter and their body will be destroyed.
Ping'yan had to from scratch establish the rules behind cultivation. She had some vague memories from her dream. It was entirely up to her to sculpt a functioning system. Luckily, she had a dantian and spiritual roots.
----------------------------------------
Somnus had planned to go to the future to harvest his 'plants'. But he noticed something right away.
TS: Year 1, Day 1;
He had overlapped a dream space over 'Universe #01'. He had essentially created a dream realm. He noticed that just like when he manipulated the dream realm of F555. There were dream bubbles. At this very moment. There were four dream bubbles.
"I am essentially the teacher. The craftsman of dreams."
There were fragments of contamination from the world will. It was like puzzle pieces. Somnus could just let nature take its course.
Emergence.
Or he could handcraft dreams.
"I can train their existence into the perfect tools. My universe is simple, but with the addition of laws. It will slowly become more complex!"
"Let's fast forward to when one wakes up."
Somnus expected Zhar to wake up first.
But he was wrong!
TS: Year 901, Day 99;
"The law of cultivation? Such high expectations!"
"This is quite the flexible law..."
Ping'yan had tried waking the others up. But she had failed.
Somnus remembered something.
[???]: 1x earth seed, 1x metal seed, 1x wood seed.
[???]: 1x fire seed, 1x water seed, 1x light seed.
[???]: 1x dark seed, 1x essence of space, 1x essence of time.

"My universe is made up of the five main elements."
"But the monarch path means opening a connection with each individual dimension."
Somnus looked in his dream realm and saw 99 bubbles.
"Maximum capacity is a hundred for now."
"That women is the concept of cultivation."
"I need to entangle multiple dimensions over that universe."
Somnus had become the fabric of reality. But he hadn't given up on exploring other worlds using an avatar. It was just such weak bodies were limited. He also needed to create those other worlds.
Somnus could scan the bodies of these sleeping concepts. He could check the composition of their source.
"First I will create the earth dimension..."
Somnus scanned through the concepts and picked #27.
They were born on the fifth year day twenty.
Their source composition was '10震W10離F60艮E10乾M10坎W'
It was earth heavy.
"If I go back in time. I'll overwrite the future..."
"They still have more then a century to wake up."
Somnus entered their dream. He expected to find a man focused on cultivation. But it seems not every concept was as hardworking as Ping'yan.
Somnus manifested in 27's dream.
Somnus found himself in a jail. His cellmate was 27.
The intelligence in 27's eyes were lacking. It looked as if he had been tortured. Somnus appeared quite out of place. The man was wearing rags, but Somnus was wearing a suit.
Somnus noticed he stood out too much and shifted his attire.
He soon looked dirty and was also wearing rags.
Somnus poked 27 with his finger.
"...What?"
"What are you doing?" Somnus asked.
"You wouldn't believe me...."
27 looked around cautiously and spoke:
"I think none of this is real!"
"Oh? What makes you think that?" Somnus was intrigued.
"Look at that guard. He hasn't moved in 3 days!"
Somnus looked at the guard. But within five seconds. The guard finished his rotation and left, making 27 look like a fool.
"I-I-I'm not lying!"
Somnus held out his hand.
"I am Visdre."
"I'm..."
"Kalos."
"Nice to meet you. How did you end up in this cell?"
"The humans mistook me for a angel. I tried correcting them. But then they thought I was an evil warlock. I tried telling the truth. But they thought I was insane."
Somnus was quite interested in his experience. 27's heavenly appearance early on made others mistake him as some sort of angel.
Somnus held up his hand and Kalos stopped talking.
"Let's get out of here..."
Somnus was a master when it came to the structure of dreams. He could change the environment as simply as breathing. But he didn't.
Somnus flexed his arm muscles and punched out smashing a hole in the wall.
As Somnus walked towards freedom. He saw Kalos remaining in the cell.
"What are you doing?"
"It is illegal to escape..."
"..."
Soon the guards had them surrounded.
Somnus grabbed the resisting Kalos and flew into the sky.
"His personality is quite different from that Ping'yan..."
As Somnus flew away. The dream fell apart. Leaving him and Kalos in a void. As they got closer to the ground. A new scene appeared. It was an island surrounded by ocean.
Kalos was impressed.
"How did you do all of that?"
Somnus smiled.
"A form of supernatural power...how long were you in that prison?"
"A few centuries..."
"..."
"If you want to control your own fate. You must have power! I can accept you as a disciple."
"Really!?" Kalos seemed quite interested
Somnus and Kalos carried out a small ceremony.
"I have actually visited you for an important mission!"
"Mission?"
"I want to train you to be in charge of a dimension."
"What is a dimension? Or what type of dimension?"
"I mean a parallel world anchored to a specific universe. Think of it like having your own realm. Imagine a world where you are god!"
"I see..." Kalos sighed.
"I am just a weakling... I can never be a god..."
"You are right. You are weak. But I plan for you to be more then a god! You already are."
"I am?"
"You are a concept. This entire time you have been sleeping. I've been personally sent here by the creator of reality to guide you!"
"I need you to wake up. I need you to be the sovereign of the earth dimension!"
"You will become the concept of the earth element!"
Somnus trained Kalos for a year. He taught him everything he knew about manipulating reality as a foreign entity. Then in the middle of a sparring session.
The dream started to shake.
"What's happening?"
"You are waking up."
