Prologue-00 prt 2

After slip up caused by To Rin, the Heavenly Emperor had no choice but to accept the boy's sudden reincarnation into the world of immortals.

Though he accepeted him, he himself knew that this world was not suitable to raise a young, naive and immature child. And why you asked?

Simply that a storm was brewing, and it will no doubt reach land soon, and when it does the repercussions it will bring will shake the very Heavens itself.

You see the mortals who have ascended, were used to be at the very top f their world, and with that came endless pride, and putting one simply above all.

Now they were glorified lapdogs of others, and didn't sit well with their overly enflated egos. They wanted more, felt like they deserved more.

And simply it didnt work like that, because those who ruled over them where born with all the power they wanted, they knew they were above all.

And they had the means to back it up. that my friend caused frictions, the mortals were building an army which consited of all ascenders.

They beleived with their combined and united strengh they would come out victorious in the end and ruled over the immortal realm itself.

like the saying goes "a tiger that doesn't growl will be mistaken for a sick cat" just because the immortals don't parade their strengh around doesn't mean that they aren't ruthless.

And their lies the problem, upon entry into the realm of the immortals, all ascend mortals had their memories scanned,duplicated, and stored into the heavenly vault.

All of their life experiance are recorded. on the flip side they were all also imprinted with the heavenly soul mark which allows the emperor to what their thinking at all times.

with a sigh the emperor looked at the sleeping baby and then to To Rin and said

"Im sorry little guy but things will be tough for you, the best i can do is make the coming days as enjoyable as possible."

"And you To Rin you will have to take responsible for this screw up as well and help me raise this kid"

With a face full of terror To Rin answered with a booming voice, it was as if he was screaming at an army

"What am i his mom"

The emperor also lost his mind and equally screammed back

"You're the one who Fucked up"

And as soon as he finished the baby woke and started crying, both men's faces immediately paled, fatherhood was not their forte,.

they desperately tried to calmed the crying baby, but to no avail. I took the little guy almost 20 minutes to stop crying as he cried himself to sleep.

"So what do we call him?" To Rin

"Well how about Shao long" Emperor

"Whatever" To Rin

Much to the demise of those  two all powerfull immortals they life changed for the worse, in the next eions that passed they had to be both mommy and daddy to a young baby soul.

To Rin was responsible for military, martial arts, alchemy, forging and talisman refinement training. The Heavenly emperor himslef was responsible to literature, seal refinement, cultivation, leadership and world cultures.

Together they trained him to the best of their abilities, they also taught him to condence a soul vault a skill only taught to true immortals.

While they viewed the boy as nothing but a curse and a blessing, othe immortals didn't share their parenting emotions.

They avoided the boy like a plague, despite his many attemps to befiend them. As for the other ascend mortals they all tried to use him to their bennefit.

Being young and easily enfluenced, Shaolong though he had found himself some friends, he happily chatted and trained with them.

He gave them some cultivation ressources, and going as far as even guiding them in martial arts. He was imerssed in this false delusion of friendship.

And like predicted by the emperor the judgement day arrived in a typical morning, the ascend mortals launched an attack directed at the immortals in order to wipe them out.

But unlike what they hoped for they were all captured and defeated without as much as hurting a hair on their heads. The emperor had already warned all the others.

The laws of the heaven dictates that all who rebeled must be executed along with his or her clan, after sentencing them to death and before their execution date.

The assemnbly of immortals was in session, in roder to prevent this from happening a second time, a vote must take place.

They came up with a solution. thre rules were established 

1.No humans will ascend to the heavens, they will al be sent to a deserted and upstarting plane

2.Amongs innocent the humans in the heavens tey will all be exiled to the said world

3. All guilty parties will be executed and have their soul destroyed and will never be able to reincarnate.

After the laws were passed the Emperor ordered Shao Long to pass judgement against those rebels. struck with disbeleif and sadness he begged.

"Father please, please spare them... their my friends." Shaolong

"Nonesense, Shaolong open your eyes. this is the price they must pay for their sins, besides the other immortals would not agree" Emperor

"But father you are the Emperor surely you can do something." Shaolong

"Snort.. true i am the emperor but do you think i alone can stand against the millions and billions of immortals. wake up have i thought you nothing? even an army of ants can kill an elephant if they work togather" Emperor

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

"But..." Shaolong

"Silence child you will do as i say. if not you will be executed along with them so chose wisely and do not wear out my patience" Emperor

immediate after being yelled at by his father Shaolong cowered away in fear, all his life he has been pampered and protected.

He was given any and everything he wanted, his father and uncle showered him with love and care, and never had he been so severely chasities before.

In a desperate attempt he looked over to his uncle To Rin sitting to the left side of the room in order to beg for help. but much to his surprise To Rin was looking at him with eyes of shame and disappointment.

He had trained him he had raised him from the first level of Foundation Realm to the nineth level Immortal realm. he had braved all the brutal and difficult training he had to offer and yet he had let him down and acted like a coward.

After realising that there was no hope for him Shaolong accepted his mission and fate. he must become an executioner to the very people he once called friends.

And after killing them he shall be exiled to an unknown plane alone, no father no uncle, no nothing. That was the most difficult thing for him to accept .

the next day he stood at the execution platform wearing an executioner outfit, his eyes blood shut, and his blade tightly clutched in his hand.

there was not a soul in sight the execution grounds were empty and gave of an eerie silence. soon light footsteps were eared .

To Rin appeared in front of Shao long, his eyes were cold and sharp, it made one shiver with fear. his body gave of a baleful aura of blood that caused one to choke and unable to breath .

He stood there in looked at Shao Long for a bit before saying in a dry tone

"Use the asura tactic when performing the executions, youare not allowed to use anything else or else you will die a painfull death "

Without waiting for a response be turned around and oncae again spoke

"its starting"

Soon as he finished speaking Boom, boom, boom, three crashes of thunder, and in the execution ground below the Immortal Executioner Stage suddenly appeared a dense crowd.

there were several hundreds immortals, and the number was constantly rising. Soon a sea of people streched far and wide, and they all started screaming

“Kill them! Kill them! Kill them all, Death to all sinners"

Like clockwork the doors to the gate opened, a long line formed. a lined of people shackled up, there were men, women, children, beastmen, elves, dwarfs, demons, devils, vampires, orges, lichs. you named it they were there all mortals who ascended were present.

Soon the first one on queu walked up to Shao long in his eyes were adorn with signs clear hatred. H took his positions on the platform and To Rin gave the signall.

Shao Long gritted his teeth and raised the blade, he then circulated the asura tactics and swung down.

'Putchi' blood flew up and covered Shao longs body as the head rolled by his feet, the body suddenly turned into a faint  light and entered his body. 

Unknown to him the event that just happened shaolong was in a sad situation his nostril were assulted by the stench of iron, his vison blurred a bit, he felt nauseous, but before he could recover

"NEXT" To Rin

Like that things went on unknown to him how long had past, and how many people he had killed, shaolong became like a machine.

he chopped and chopped like a madman, soon to even the hardned immortals they noticed the rapid change in him. he was like a beast, his body was covered in blood from head to toe.

he was cold,ruthless, devoid of emotions, like a buttomless pit that caused ones hair to rise on end, watching this the previous noisy grounds became quiet and only two sounds where heard.

heads being chopped and heads hitting the ground. this went on for what felt like centuriesk the sheer amount of guilty beings was astounding.

But like all good or bad things they must all come to an end, after chopping off the last head, Shao long stood there motionlessly like a statue his eyes were dark,cold and sharp.

They mirrored those of To Rin's but with an even deeper tinge of murderous killers intent, his body gave off an even deeper and ruthless balefull aura too

If To Rin's eyes and aura was like an violent storm, then Shao Long was like a destructive tsunami that wiped out any and everything in its wake.

After witnessing the end of the carnage To Rin once again spoke in a cold voice

"Good now you can return to your quaters, we will call upon you tomorrow"

With a nod of acknowledgement Shaolong departed without a sound or fuss he simply walked off,soon after the other immortals did the same, yet To Rin stayed rooted in this mess of bloos and decapited heads around him.

When he was finally alone he sighed, in a flash he looked as if he had aged a hundred years in a span of a second, sadness filled his eyes he was a his breaking point.

He suddenly said in a pained voice almost choking over his tears

"Are you happy now huh old friend is that what you wanted huh..."

soon a bright light materialized and the Heavenly emperor emerged, his face was twisted his eyes were red, his face waover with tear lines.

The two men remained standing with grief plastered on their faces, they said nothing, did nothing but just stood there in place.

Elsewhere Shao Long was in his room, afte removing the blood stained clothes, and cleaned himself off he sat on his bed.

Soon he felt as if he was watching a play countless images filled his head passing at speeds beyond even an immortal could comrehend.

Yet he did, they all made sense to him. It was as if he had lived countless lives. he comprehended everything, skills, abilities, experience everything.

After his trip down memory lane his eyes opened up and walked out of the room, for the next four hours he pillaged properties of all those he killed.

Pills, artifacts, cultivation methods, spirit herbs, tools , weapons, prescious metals, gold, jades, diamonds , silver, any and all ores and he stored them in his soul vault.

in the eyes of those true immortals those ressources were useless trash, they were set to be burned along with all the possession of those so called sinners.

After that returned to his qyaters and  he colsed his eyes as his body shutted itself down, and he went to sleep. because soon he shall face his exile.

Sure enough the next day he woke to a knock on the door, without as much as fixing his clothes he opened the door, in front of him stood To Rin.

"Let's go" To Rin

He followed him without a word and along the way no words were spoken, in his heart To Rin was hurt the  Shao long he knew died on the execution platform.

The one next to him was an unknown, and fearful character, his eyes were cold, they trusted none, lcared fo none loved none.

soon they reached the throne hall, like usual the Emperor sat their in a dignified way, he looked at To Rin and Shao Long as they entered.

To the right of the hall there was a warpping portal opened up, it looked eerie and made ones soul tingle in fear, the Emperor stood up.

he walked up to Shao Long and said in flat voice

"As prwviously mentioned i will now send to another world, this is not something i wished to do but this is what must be done in order for peace to exist."

Shao Long nodded, but his face was filled with indefference, as if he didn't care at all, life or death meant nothing to him.

After seeing his son's expression, his heart once again clinched, memories of his innocent smiles while growing up filled his mind.

He forcibly surpressed his body preventing it from shaking, and from shedding tears. he was in pain and he knew he would not last long.

"This is the door to your new life, i wish you the best of luck my son"

Without waiting for an answer the Emperor turned around and walked away, similarly Shao Long did the same, he walked through the portal without saying a word to both men.

And just like that he dissapeared, as soon as he did the hall was filled wih cries.
