Chapter 1: The Origin

Void and darkness everywhere. There was no space or time for anything to exist¹. But a sudden blinding golden light appeared and pierced this darkness like a hot knife slicing butter.

This golden light originated from a ball of pure chaos energy, that mysteriously appeared in the void. At the center of this ball, there was a small oval shaped stone. The surface of stone was smooth and was of golden colour with mysterious runes carved on its surface.

This mysterious stone was vibrating and producing pulses of energy that compressed and expanded the ball of pure chaos energy again and again. As a result of this, the energy contained within the ball was rising higher and at the end the ball of energy exploded with loud rumbling sound that resembled loud thunderclap.

The chaos energy expanded indefinitely in all directions, with mysterious stone as it epicenter. Thus the space and time which was not present initially came into existence as chaos energy expanded.

After the passage of countless years the chaos energy started liquefying thus creating an enormous ocean of chaos energy.

The mysterious stone was still vibrating sending ripples across the fabric of space-time. After a certain passage of time, the runes on the surface of the stone started spreading out, and formed a golden cocoon around it.

Everything became calm once again, and the things remained as it is for billions of years without any disturbance.

At a point of time the golden cocoon ruptured and a being who was sleeping in fetal position came into existence. His body was of golden colour, and there were runes carved on his skin. A golden halo was shimmering around his head. And at his glabella, the mysterious stone was positioned as if it is a third eye.

After certain period of time, a golden shockwave erupted from this being and he slowly opened his eyes and stood up, as he woke up from his sleep. From his eyes golden light erupted, as he looked in all direction.

This golden light sent waves in the sea of chaos energy like a stone dropped in a lake.

As he looked around, he saw nothing but ocean of chaos energy. A thoughtful look then appeared on his face and he suddenly lifted his hand to touch the mysterious stone on his glabella. A loud rumbling a keen to that of thunderclap erupted from it, and a burst of golden light was sent forth from his body in all directions.

The ocean of chaos energy started compressing at various points, and as the golden light touched it, it burned brightly. Trillions of such point appeared throughout the ocean, spreading warmth and light around them. These were the first stars that formed after countless years of darkness.

The being looked around once again, and he moved his hands in a profound way and casted a gigantic seal towards all directions. The stars which formed drifted towards these seals and formed groups which became galaxies. Countless such galaxies formed in span of few breaths.

The being then, again casted a second seal which also spread out in all directions, and pulled groups of galaxy towards it such that, these groups of galaxy where arranged in 3 levels, with a vast amount of primordial chaos energy between them.

The being then cast a profound seal which contained dense energy ( which later will be known as "Spiritual Energy" ) on the first level of the world, then he cared another profound seal which contained little less energy on the second level, and then he casted a final seal on the third level, which contained far less energy than the other two.

After this the being looked at his creation with a satisfactory look on his face. He then raised his palms towards his chest, and then a golden projection of himself appeared between it. The being opened his mouth and blasted blue light, which contained series of runes on the projection. This projection which was initially insubstantial became substantial once it touched the blue light.( If one where to look carefully, the projection resembled the being who created it. Yet it's body structure and energy contained was far different than him.)

Then being then examined the golden projection, and then suddenly a burst of golden light erupted from the mysterious stone which pierced the golden projections dantian, and a small energy bead appeared there. Then tiny roots like structure started spreading from the energy bead, through out the body of golden projection.

( This bead and roots later will be known as "Sea of Qi" and "Spiritual Roots"). Another burst of golden light pierced the chest of the golden projection and internal structures such as meridians, nervous system, golden heart and vital fluids which was golden in colour were created. Another burst of golden light pierced the head of projection and a mass of nerves appeared there ( of course it is brain).

Then again a red and blue light erupted from the stone, which pierced the golden projection and Seven matters, Five sheaths of personality and five organs of action formed in the body of golden projection.

The being then opened his mouth and blasted vital air which entered the golden projection in a flash and the golden projection started breathing and dull thumps of beating heart could be heard. ( from now the golden projection will be referred as "Divine Beings", as it has obtained a substantial and functional body.)

The being then started creating further such projections, which were brought to life by the mysterious stone. There were projections of both males and females such that they were in pairs, which were now breathing and in deep sleep.

The being created thousands of such beings, with different spiritual roots and sea of Qi, so that they govern certain elemental forces. Many of them resembled humans and plants, with different physique and facial structures. Also the energy contained within them was also different from one projection to another.

After creation of all projections a blinding light erupted form the stone which contained numerous runes which pierced the head of all projections. Countless information, knowledge and wisdom was granted to these projections, pertaining to the elemental forces, natural laws, and different abilities to manipulate them.

The being then brought his hand towards his chest again. A bright azure light erupted between them, and at the center of which a small azure dragon projection appeared.( This is the first "Divine Spirit", to appear in the universe). Then the same procedure was repeated and countless 'Divine Spirits', in male female pairs such as, " Golden Fire Phoenix", " Iron Armoured Tortoise", "Water Flood Dragon", "Poison Serpent", "Diamond armoured Golden Beetle", Copper Plated Scorpion", and many others. All the Divine sprits contained, Divine blood which was golden in colour.

Then the being repeated same procedures as it did with holy beings, to create various body parts, organs, spiritual roots and sea of Qi.

All such projections were then left to hibernate for millions of years were they developed into full fledged begins, with vigorous vital and spiritual energy.

All the projections opened their eyes slowly and started to look around them, and they all saw a supreme being seated cross-legged Infront of them, radiating boundless spiritual energy which formed a golden halo spreading in all directions. A sense of divinity and devotion developed in their mind and they all dropped to their knees and bowed to the supreme being.

The being then spoke to them, " Arise". ( The language here is the Divine language, that will be limited only to these beings, more explanation about it in further chapters).

All the projections stood up, and one of them humbly asked the supreme being, "Who are you?"

For which the Supreme being replied, "I am the embodiment of collective wisdom contained in this divine stone, I am the "Tao" of this universe, which I created based on the this knowledge. Then I created you all as instructed by this stone ".

Then again one of the projection humbly asked, "who created you? "

For which the Tao pointed towards his glabella from which an oval shaped stone appeared, " This stone is the origin of all, and the origin of this stone is unknown to me".

The projection then asked again, " who are we? why were we created?".

The Tao replied, " You all are ' Divine Beings' and ' Divine Spirits', which I created to look after this universe, and to fill it with life. I created you using the powers of this stone. I have created 3 different worlds with different density of spiritual energy to nurture life. I have created thousands of you to govern and control different laws of nature so that the world's below could continue existing for eternity."

The Tao then continued, " I will create a " Divine Realm" for all of you to reside, you all can govern this universe from there, once the creation of life is completed".

The Tao then pressed his hand on the stone, and boundless golden light swept forth absorbing the chaos energy and created a vast realm with very high density of spiritual energy. After creating the Divine realm the Tao, made a grabbing motion and three dense balls of chaos energy were created. He again pointed towards the mysterious stone, from which blinding Golden, Blue, and Red light erupted which ignited three balls of chaos energy. The three balls of chaos energy burned brightly with golden, blue, and red colour.

He pointed towards the three flames, " These are the three ' Eternal Holy Fires'. The one with the golden colour is the ' Primordial Fire',. You all absorb a wisp of it and it place it in the Divine Realm and in the first world which has highest density of spiritual energy." ( This first world will be known as "Divine Immortal Realm").

"The other two are ' Heavenly Fire' and ' Earthly Fire ", he said as he pointed towards the blue and red coloured flame respectively.

"Take the heavenly fire and place it in the second world with little less spiritual energy, and place the earthly fire in the third world with least energy. These fires will grant the wisdom, knowledge and a strong physique to the life originating in them. Also it will cleanse them from all impurities accumulated", the Tao said to the Divine Beings as he pointed towards the eternal holy fires. ( The second world will be known as "Divine Ascension Realm", and the third world with least spiritual energy will be known as "Mortal Realm" ).

The Tao then said to the Divine Beings and Divine Spirits, " Go sow the seeds of life into the worlds, and let them evolve on their own. Once they acquire sufficient knowledge, take them towards the fires and cleanse them. Then give them the wisdom of nurturing spirit plants, agriculture civilization and language. Once the life becomes self sustaining all of you come back to the Divine Realm, and I'll explain you all about your further duties".
