Chapter 10 (1/2)

”System?”

[Yes, host]​​

”What's going on? Where am I? Shin first asked where he was.

[You are in a world connected to you]

”Uh, like the realm of the immortal Jade Violet?”

Shin asked because he had a lot of fanfiction where the character asked to have the Kingdom of the Immortal Jade Violet.

And he has to admit that it was very cool and very useful to have a place that you can call home when you are constantly changing worlds and universes.

So, after a surprised look, he showed an excited smile and was happy to learn that he owned it too.

It's a bit like the immortal Jade Violet's kingdom, it's connected to you, so it will grow with you. As for the rest, it's actually similar to the Kingdom of the Immortal Jade Violet: if you want animals, beasts, immortal plants, etc., you'll have to find them in a world and transfer them to your kingdom except for normal nature, you can create it yourself. But your kingdom is not just a simple kingdom].

”What do you mean by this?” Shin asked curiously.

He wondered what could be even better than the kingdom of the immortal Jade Violet.

[The kingdom to which you are bound is the future Divine Realm of your universe].

Shin's eyes widened when he heard this.

Now his goal to become stronger will no longer be generated only by his personal dėsɨrės but also to develop a crucial element of his universe.

Knowing this, an additional weight seemed to be placed on Shin's shoulders.

He tried, in order not to put additional pressure on himself, to ask a question to think about something else.

”Isn't it a little small for a Divine Realm?”

This place was supposed to welcome Gods, certainly of unknown number but still.

[As I said, the Divine Realm will grow along with you, with every surge of power you have, the Divine Realm will grow. The Divine Realm is in the universe but is bound to you by a spiritual bond. One could say that you and the Divine Realm are one and the same entity].

”So if anything should happen to me like dying, the Divine Realm will be destroyed?”

[No the Divine Realm would not be destroyed even if you died, which is very unlikely since you are immortal and it is almost impossible that you would die].

”It is true that even if Shin had to die, he will be reborn as a Phoenix.

”I see” Shin thought about everything we had just told him, he had a great responsibility.

But could he complain? He was given the chance to live a second life and to become a God, so it is justified.

”So I'm in the Divine Realm, but where exactly?”

[You are now in the future Forest of Life, your domain and your home.]

”My estate and my home?”

[Yes for now it is the only place created in the Divine Realm because you are the first God and in a way the creator of the Divine Realm. Each God Kings will have their own domain in the Divine Realm, filled with their respective energy. In your case, it is the Forest of Life that is filled with the Energy of Life].

”Wow, I'm lucky” Shin found it incredible to have an estate all to himself, an entire forest.

Shin looked all around him to see the lake all around the island as well as the forest on the other side of the lake.

But looking deeper, behind the forest a few trees thick, there was a void, space.

Shin could understand why he was seeing space beyond the forest but he could not understand why he was seeing a sky, shouldn't he see space?

”System, how is the Divine Realm made, why is there a sky?”

[The shape of the Divine Realm is a flying island that will grow with time and covered with a huge dome protecting the Divine Realm from space. The sky is created by the Divine energy to create a living space for the gods].

”Divine energy?” He had heard of the Energy of Life, Creation, Destruction and Death but not Divine.

But even without having heard of it, it didn't take a genius to understand the basis of this energy.

[Yes, Divine energy is an energy that can only be manipulated by the Gods. It is the most powerful energy besides the Energy of Life, Death, Destruction and Creation. The Divine Realm is full of it, it is vital to it]

By closing his eyes, Shin was able to feel an energy he had never felt before.

It was a pure and very powerful energy, somewhat similar to the Energy of Life.

Although he felt it, he was unable to manipulate it.

”I guess I have to be a God.”

[Yes]

”Aah”

Shin sighed in defeat, it could have been a new ȧsset to become more powerful faster.

His gaze is then put on the tree in front of him.

”What is this tree doing here?” It was not as if it was the only one, there were others around the lake but it was special.

Already he was in the middle of the lake on an island that seemed to give him importance in relation to the others and Shin could feel an Energy of Life coming out of him, which was not the case with the other trees.
