Awakening Of The Ancient

Chapter 1: End of the Beginning (Part 1)

In the vast emptiness of space, two celestial beings floated in the air as they faced each other.

They were covered in mist which made it difficult to look at their faces and their body shapes.

It was difficult to judge their size as there was nothing in this vast emptiness to compare them to. They floated in front of each other before a voice sounded.

"Why did you do it?" A voice that felt like it came from everywhere said. It was difficult to judge which of the two spoke. The voice sounded neutral, whether it was male or female was unknown.

"I had to... I wanted to... It felt like something I must do to make that world a better place, " another voice sounded. Like the first voice, it was difficult to judge which existence said it as well.

There was only one difference between the second and the first voice was the fact that the first one sounded neutral and the second contained some emotion judging from its tone.

"You didn't make the world better, instead everything was ruined... You played with the natural order. You created something unnecessary," the first voice emotionlessly replied.

" I did not play with the natural order. I modified the natural order to make it what it should be," the second voice echoed filled with determination.

The whole place began looking unsteady as spatial cracks started developing in the vast space.

"This decision of yours created suffering. You created sickness... a world that shouldn't be...," the first voice said.

" I created meaning in life. I made every life important and created true happiness," the reply of the second voice echoed in the atmosphere.

" You created something vile that this universe didn't need. You made the wrong decision which beings like us shouldn't make. We are perfect beings... we should create perfection, not an imperfection! " The first voice heavily said.

" Do you think that you can judge me? That you decide what's right and wrong? You created what you wanted while I created what I wanted. You think you were right while I know I was right," the Second voice lamented.

" What I created was happiness, safety, and prosperity. What you created was the complete opposite. It was chaos and mayhem.

You created immortals while I created mortals. You gave your creation immense strength while I gave my creation immense potential. You gave your creation a long life, I gave my creation a shorter lifespan with the opportunity to increase their lifespan if they so desired," the Second voice responded with a little bit of emotion.

"We have both been in existence since the beginning of the universe. We both know the meaning of a longer life span better than the so-called immortals you created. Immortality is not what I want for myself and my creation. I didn't have a choice but I'm giving my creation one," the second voice insisted.

"Only when life becomes precious, can one know how to value it. I want them to live every moment they have to their fullest, as life can have a limit. I could have given them only happiness and strength, but I gave them sadness, disease, loss of their loved ones as a means of creating value in life... in happiness... true happiness!!!, " the second voice continued.

There was a moment of silence as no one said anything. It was as if the whole universe halted in time.

"Your thoughts have gone awry. You can't differentiate right from wrong," the first voice sighed as it broke the silence.

"You can't do as you please anymore or one day the whole natural order will be destroyed if you are left alone. I can't let that happen... I need to stop you from using your powers like this in the future... even if that means going against you, I will not think twice!" The first voice sounded again. Although the voice felt light, the willpower it contained made the whole world tremble.

"We both came into existence at the same time and hold similar strength, but I will do what I have to. Even if that means destroying everything that I have worked so hard for... It must be done for the future of the World, " the first voice echoed in the vast emptiness

Chapter 2: Beginning of the End (Part 2)

"We both came into existence at the same time and hold similar strength, but I will still do what I have to! Even if that means destroying everything that I have worked so hard for... It must be done for the future of the World! " The first voice continued as it echoed in the vast emptiness of space.

"Nothing will be destroyed as I won't oppose you or fight with you as if I do... everything I created.... Everything We created... will be destroyed in the process. I will take every punishment you have, without resisting in the slightest. I have already lived for so long, even if I could somehow be killed, I would be much happier..." The second voice resounded. It somehow contained a tired feeling like it was tired of carrying the burden of true immortality for ages.

"Good... It looks like you still have some knowledge of your wrongdoings! I will deal with you and then destroy the abominations that you created! The natural order will soon return to this world!" The first voice sounded in a relaxed manner but soon after, a heavy aura spread in the atmosphere.

It looked like the whole world was freezing as a chilly aura spread in the empty space. The whole universe began trembling as nearby stars immediately disintegrated.

"Don't think that if I'm not fighting you, then I'm giving you the authority to do anything you please!!! I'm doing this so that worlds don't get destroyed in our collision. If you ever thought about hurting my creations... I will come back from whatever prison you hold me into, and destroy every existence in this world without caring for the natural order. I will fight you till eternity and make you regret such a decision! " The second voice said in a heavy tone.

The white mist surrounding the second existence became blood-red as it continued hiding its figure.

There was again silence in the space as the first voice didn't respond for a while.

"I won't hurt your creation... In fact, I will let them grow as you wanted them to... but only if you agree to not resist in the slightest..." The first voice finally sounded again, breaking the silence that seemed to last for years.

The Second Existence didn't say anything as it stayed silent. It looked like it was looking towards the far corner of the universe with a gentle look.

"I agree..." The second existence said lightly.

Suddenly, the universe started shaking as the space got even more unstable. More spatial cracks began developing as it seemed like the first figure moved.

It looked like the first figure was floating towards the second figure at a snail-like speed, but in actuality, the second figure was moving at the speed which was even faster than light. It was crossing multiple space dimensions to get to the first figure, as they were both in alternate space dimensions.

After what seemed like a long time, the first figure could be seen standing right in front of the second figure with only a short distance between them.

They both gazed at each other in silence.

"You made some great decisions throughout our existence which made the world a better place, but your last decision... it changed everything." The first figure said as it floated in front of the second figure.

The second figure didn't reply and only sighed. It felt like it was tired of explaining.

"You are just like me... we have both been in existence since the beginning of time... we have created various worlds, nature, and civilizations. We are both real Immortals and you are just as strong as me, if not stronger. So it's impossible to kill you, but I can stop you if you don't resist. I will stop you forever, even if I have to put all my strengths in line! " The first figure continued as a strong aura began spreading from it.

"I will make it so that you never see the light of day ever again!!! You won't be able to use any of your powers either, unless..." The first voice continued as it said something but it stopped amidst its sentence.

The whole space was filled with spatial cracks as not even an inch of space was free. All the remaining stars were tuned to dust as the space became even more unstable...

It lasted for a long time before everything returned to normal. The vast empty space was clear of all the special cracks as stardust floated in the empty space.

No clue of either figure could be seen there. It was as if they had both disappeared.

Civilization blossomed as years passed, but no one knew about the beings that created them. They never appeared again in the universe until...

Chapter 3: Xu Liang

"The rain looks so beautiful" A young man was lying in bed as he gazed outside the window watching Raindrops fall as he listened to the sound of the rain. To him, it sounded like a beautiful medley of nature.

He looked to be in his early twenties and had deep blue eyes from which he calmly gazed at the rain through the window. He had short brown hair that covered his forehead and a sharp chiseled nose. He had a slight smile on his face which although looked charming, somehow looked melancholic.

He had a fine athletic build and a height of around one hundred and eighty centimeters but no one could see it as he was lying in bed inside a white blanket. He kept gazing at the rain outside until a knock was heard on the door. 

"Come in" He turned his head towards the door as he said lightly. 

A beautiful girl, wearing a white T-shirt, black coat and a tight-fitting black pencil skirt walked inside holding a folder in her hands. She had long black hair and a beautiful face. She looked like she was twenty-five but the man knew that she was in her early thirties. 

"You called for me sir?" The girl said with a slight smile on her face as she stood near the bed. 

"Yea, how's my sister doing?" He asked with a gentle smile. 

"Miss Lan is doing really good Sir. She's doing great in athletics while still achieving the best grades in university. Every teacher in the university praises her and likes her" The girl replied softly. 

" That girl, she's always been the pride of me. When father and mother were alive, she was so naughty, but I can see that she's changed after their death. She always tries to give her best in everything now. I guess it had become her adrenaline" The guy said as a beautiful smile appeared on his face. The girl couldn't help but fell into a daze as she saw the man smile. 

"I wonder how much my leaving her would impact her" The man muttered to himself. 

" Lia... " He said, looking at the girl who came out of her daze. 

"Yes, sir!" She immediately replied. 

"Do you think I should tell her? " He asked as he looked down. 

"It's not my place to step in, but I think you should inform her Sir" Lia replied to him. 

" I don't want to keep her in the dark either, but I don't want to see her suffer," He said as sadness could be heard from his voice. 

" I can understand sir. Instead of making her suffer for two months as she sees it happen, you want to face all of it yourself. But... " She said but stopped herself as she thought it would be inappropriate to say more. 

" I don't want her to go through it. If it's sudden, I'm sure she'll be able to overcome the sadness just like with father and mother. But if... " He said as he looked down. 

" Anyways, Are the papers ready?" He asked Lia as he gazed at her with his deep blue eyes and a slight smile which was failing its purpose of hiding all his sadness. 

"Y... yes sir. I have prepared everything. Here's the power of attorney and other documents as you asked. You can put all your property and shares of the company on her name"She said to the guy who took the papers and started reading them. 

After he finished reading it, he signed and gave the papers back.

"Everything is ready. Now she owns everything and no one can steal it from her because of the clause you added on my orders" He said lightly with a gentle smile. 

" Yes, Sir. Even if your sister later decides to, she can't give this property away.  This property can't be given to someone who doesn't have the bloodline of you or your sister. Also In case, something unexpected happens to her, all this property will go to various charities and used to make and maintain orphanages throughout the country" Lia said softly. 

"It's all for her protection. I don't want her to be used because of our money" He said as he again turned his attention towards the windows. 

"You're right sir" Lia replied immediately. 

" Lia... She doesn't know anything about me being here right?" he asked again without looking back. 

" Exactly sir. She still thinks that you went to America to set up a branch of Xu Corporation and that it will be a long time before you come back" Lia replied to him as she gazed at the window. 

" There are only a few trusted ones I have that have stayed with me for so long. I hope you'll stay with my little sister and help her as you all helped me. She'll be new to this world. You will need to guide her properly" He said as he finally turned back and gazed into her eyes. 

Her heart skipped a beat as both their eyes met. 

"I...I...I will make sure of it sir" She stuttered as she replied. 

" I believe you. You can go now" He replied before turning his head back again as he started looking at the rainfall and hearing its sound. 

Lia gazed at him for a moment with sadness filling her eyes as she turned back and exited. After exiting the room, she walked through the large corridor as she left the building. 

"Miss Su, That girl was so beautiful and looked rich. Who was she here to visit? Who is in this room? " A nurse asked another nurse she was walking with after she saw Lia exit the room.

"Little Nian, You are new here, so you don't know yet. But other than you, everyone else in this hospital knows who stays in this room" The second nurse, Miss Su replied. 

" Who? " Nian asked Su with curiosity on her face. 

" He's the youngest billionaire in the history of this world. The President of Xu Corporation. His company is in the top ten multinational conglomerates in the world and ranked at 5th worldwide" Su explained as she looked at her. 

"He is Mr. Xu Lian. He inherited the company after his father and mother died in an accident five years ago. He was only 17 at that time. Many people expected Xu Corp to fall. But under his leadership, Instead of falling, it rose from the eighth biggest corporation in the world to the fifth-biggest corporation in the world. He had been dubbed as a genius businessman throughout the world. " Su continued further as she gazed at the door of his room no. 001 where Xu Liang stayed. 

" Wha... " Nian couldn't help but open her mouth wide as she heard Su. 

"Mr. Xu is in that room?? Why is he in the hospital? Also, why isn't there any news about him being hospitalized? He's such a giant existence in this country. This news should have been on every news channel!!" Nian said as she gazed at Su. 

" Hush... Everyone here signed a document, that no information about him being here can be disclosed by the hospital or the hospital will be closed and we will all be jailed and fined millions of dollars. Also, I'm sure the Xu Corp will take their own revenge on us" Su hurriedly closed her mouth with her hand as she said. 

----------

"Mmm. mmm," Nian kept saying something incomprehensible as Su had her hand on her mouth. Su took her hands off slowly.

"Elder Sister Su, Why is he in the hospital though? What sickness does he have?"Nian asked, looking at Su. 

" I don't know... In fact, I don't think many people know. Only the highest level of doctors know about his condition. But I've heard a rumor... " Su said softly.
