The law of the universe
/*unedited*/
Since the beginning of the universe, there is an entity that controls everything and put them in order. We call it, the law.
The law puts everything in line and it is absolute.
However, since the creation of the universe, there is sothing that either rges with the law or diverts from it. It is called free will.
It is either planned by a higher being or was created by mistake but freewill beca the crucible to chaos. And because of that there ford two factions within the universe. Those who follow the law and rge with it or go above it beca rulers and deities, but those who divert from it and bends it beca the rebels or the outcasts.
Thousands and millions of years have passed and those who are called outcasts are now starting to make their move. They began by entering the planets and slowly corrupting the mortals within and adding them to their ranks.
Sotis people thought that the gods are not listening to mortals and that they are just playing with the lives of the people, but in truth, the gods are just following the laws. What they can do is give hints to the mortals under their reign, and give them so blessings or a curse according to the law.
But this beca the hinge that hampers the relationship between mortals and the gods. As ti went by mortals would always bla the gods in their circumstances and forgot that it is all according to one of the laws of the universe, the law of cause and effect. As so the mortals began to distance themselves to the gods and the outcasts gain more and more in their ranks.
In response, the gods decided to open up 2 paths for the mortals to overco the temptation of the outcasts and forever destroy their chance to gain true immortality. The first is obedience to the law and entering the path to reincarnation or godhood. And the second one is rising above one's self and becoming strong enough to go above the law and attain godhood… this path is called cultivation.
However, this path is the hardest to follow and can draw a mortal closer to outcast's temptations. But if one can overco this hurdle, then godhood can be attained if not, then they will beco one of the outcast and be stripped from their flesh forever.
But in a certain small blue planet, the god in charge decided to save his own children staying in it. He gave them free will but controls the power within. Because of his love for his children even though they would succumb to the temptations of the outcasts, every mortal in his stead can still have a chance to beco immortal. But there are still those who few who would turn into deities or outcasts. The god of this planet has successfully implented as such because of his control of the power within that planet.
He did this by limiting the Qi and mana within the planet and then limiting the power output of an individual to the spirit refining realm. This way destruction and chaos have their limits.
…
As Shin Jiao is trying to break through to the second container which would turn him into a spirit refining realm cultivator, but it seems that he is unable to break through it.
Then in his attempt, he finally heard the words.
"Who? Who are you? How co you can talk to my mind?" Shin Jiao asked.
"I am… I am the god of this world, the supre deity of this planet."
"You? You an… you're THE God?" Shin Jiao felt dumbfounded upon hearing those words.
"Haha… yes, I am… Many have co before you and were able to gain my attention. However, you are different from them. They gained my attention because of their obedience to the law, but you… you beca an anomaly. I can sense that you have gone to that woman's domain… Haha… She is still at it. Trying hard to turn that huge chaotic planet of hers into a peaceful place is one of the reasons why she tried to use what humans called the law of relativity and transmutation to get you there." The voice explained.
"But it seems that the law of cause and effect still get you back here. But I am regretful to your mories. I cannot interfere with this… Right now I can see the overflowing Qi and mana in your body. I can say that it is going to interfere in this world's affairs. I cannot let that happen… However, I can tell you in advance that you can only advance to the spirit refining realm and no more." The voice added.
"So you are the one limiting this world's cultivation?"
"Yes, I need to. I don't want my children to suffer what other planets have gone through. Even to the point of destruction. The outcasts have already entered this planet, but thanks to my plan, they can only take a few… Haha…"
"I understand… But, what if my strength grew further?"
"Hmm… then you would be a threat to your brothers and sisters. I cannot allow that. I can only give you two conditions… first, if you cannot help but to make a breakthrough to the core-forming realm, then I will just send you back to... Her planet…"
"… and the second condition?"
"Stay here and protect this world… It has been a long ti... Hmm... I can use a vacation you know... But of course, that is on the premise that you will not use your power to dominate and rule… I abhor those domineering attitudes of many cultivators, if you are like that then I will send you away… for good."
"Hmm… Can I make my choice when the ti cos?"
"Yes, you may, my son. This is your free will, your agency."
After that, Shin Jiao suddenly fell to the ground.
It was as if all the strength within his body was drained. He didn't expect that by only talking to the deity of this earth he beco so weak even with his strong physique. He could not imagine facing such a powerful being. He might even wilt and die in the deity's presence.
"Thank you…" Shin Jiao muttered as he slowly gathers the Qi and mana in his surrounding once again and recovers his strength.
…
NXT Elent Building, conference room
The eting is almost coming to an end as the discussion between the two groups is slowly being ironed and reaching its conclusion. Not long later after a few hours of talk between the two groups, they ended and have reached a win-win solution.
But Susan Tang insisted that NXT Elent Company will not be a listed company and would continue to be a private company.
They have agreed to share part of the hardware and also part of the software technology. But the core technologies are still under the control of NXT Elent Company.
After the discussion, the man approaches Susan Tang and Shi Anne Li.
"Miss Tang and Miss Li, may I invite the two of you to have dinner with us. Since our cooperation is a success, I would gladly pay for dinner." The young man politely asked.
Upon seeing the kind gesture of the young man Susan Tang nods her head.
"Mr. Zhang…"
"Ah… Just call Peizhi…" the young man interrupted.
"Okay, Mr. Peizhi… we wanted to invite another person, will that be okay?"
"Oh, who might that be?"
"Well, you can say that he is our partner…"
"Alright, that's fine with , the more the rrier." the young man nad Peizhi Zhang said with a gentle smile.
However, deep in his heart, he felt a bit annoyed. He wanted to spend so ti with the two girls and try to win at least one of them with his charms. However, he still felt the confidence in his charms as soone who usually mingles with the socialites of society.
anwhile, inside the large underground room of the company, Shin Jiao has already finished recovering his strength.
He discovered that the pure Qi and mana energy in his body are already filled.
"If I want I can breakthrough now. But it's not ti yet. With the deity of this world's permission, I can now open the second container." Shin Jiao muttered.
Knock! Knock!
He heard two gentle knocks on the door.
"Co in."
Susan Tang entered while looking at her phone.
"Shin… huh?" However, she stops mid-sentence upon seeing the naked upper body of Shin Jiao.
His white complexion and well-defined muscles made him look like a glistening statue.
Susan Tang suddenly swallowed a mouthful of saliva as she stares at Shin Jiao who had a weird expression on his face. Although he has already decided to treat the two won as his lovers the three have not talked about how it would be done. So right now he felt a bit flustered.
The slowly reddening face of Susan Tang appears delicate and cute.
Shin Jiao quickly put on his shirt which breaks her stupor.
"Sorry about that." Shin Jiao apologizes.
Feeling her face getting hot, Susan Tang patted her cheek as she bits her lower lips.
"Ahem… We… So…" she stuttered.
But before she can continue she saw Shin Jiao smiling while looking at her making her blush more. In her embarrassnt, she quickly turns around in a huff.
"Humph... We will go and have dinner outside. Follow …" she said in a commanding tone and rushing out of the room.
When she was out she stood by the door and hugs her pounding chest. Not long later, she shook her head and calmly walks out of the hall.. But a slight smile is lingering on her small soft lips.
