Chapter 14 - The end of the beginning

As Wang Long stepped through the spacial distortion, he appeared before the cave that Adam and Eve lived for years. The rune circle still on the ground, spotless as the first time it was placed.

Smiling softly, Wang Long flicked his hand, enhancing the runes if dao laws so that no one could break it unless he allowed it.

Once done enhancing it, Wang Long promptlyerented another circle of runes that melded into the existing ring, filled with the dao of illusion, making the cave invisible to anyone, even Aphrodite and King Yama.

Smiling to himself as he plays with a thought just to see some fun later down the line. Once done setting up the cave with formations of dao runes, Wang Long opened his panel and searched for books on cultivation.

Upon filtering, Wang Long scrolled to the bottom of the list, going to the worst cultivation manuals available.

Name: Five Animals fist

Price: 2 God Points

Spiritual root requirement: 5 element spirit root

Cultivation limit: Qi Refinement 1st stage

Description: Basic cultivation technique for the lowest stage Spiritual root. This technique focuses on the 5 Animals tiger, ox, Eagle, ape and horse.

God points: 181

Wang Long smiled and purchased it without hesitation as he saw his God points value, a book materialising within his palms.

Calmly, Wang Long scanned it with his senses, comprehending the book in less than an instant.

"That's a good starting reference"

Promptly opening the panel again, Wang Long navigated to a slightly more advanced book, wanting references, finding a suitable option similar to the five Animals fist but more advanced. Spending 5 points on the next book.

Once more scanning the book, Wang Long nodded, opening the panel again. Finding a book that doesn't require any cultivation root. Costing 8 points.

God Points: 166

Satisfied with his purchases, Wang Long sat in the cave, thinking about the books that he had read, coming up with a simple cultivation technique.

After a few seconds, Wang Long condensed the lingering earth qi in the air, condensing into a series of a couple of stone tablets with techniques written on it.

Smiling lightly, Wang Long gently laid out the tablets at the end of the cave before Waving his hand and creating a formation to absorb and trap spirit qi within the cave.

Smiling lightly, Wang Long condensed a slight part of his soul before placing it within the cave, the lost part of the soul immediately healing with the help of the golden aura, using up 1 point.

"I hope this creates some fun later" He said with a faint smile before stepping through space, warping back to his pavilion to his rocking chair.

Letting out a big sigh of relaxation as he sat back in his rocking chair, smiling lightly as he watched the world, focusing mainly on the small village.

Watching children run around and play, the strongest people hunting with the village being peaceful and relaxed.

Wang Long watched in peaceful bliss as he enjoyed watching everything on the planet. From every rabbit to every elephant or whale.

Smiling to himself, Wang long opened the panel, searching for something specific. Upon finding it he smiled, costing only 10 points as the golden aura pours out beside him, on a large desk nearby.

God Points: 155

The golden aura slowly condensed into a deep ancient looking dark wood with a light sheen to it. Looking both ancient and noble before the golden aura formed into silk strings, looking both delicate and tough.

Once the two main components formed, a few jade stones were inlaid on the wooden exterior with intricate carvings on the wood.

Finally forming am ancient and noble guqin, laid quietly on the nearby desk. Promptly sending a hint of his chaos split into yin and yang over to the guqin.

Within moments, the guqin recieved the aura before starting to play, the sound of the zither resounding throughout the pavilion.

The guqin zither let out a gentle and serene sound, sounding as if an immortal were playing.

"Now that's more like it"

Leaning back in the rocking chair, smiling his hands behind his head as he rocked gently, a small smile plastering his face as he observed the world.

...

Wang Long sat on his chair, rocking gently as the zither played on its own without any input. Watching with a calm and unbothered expression as he watched.

On a night only a year after Wang Long placed the formation around the village, eve walked into their hut. Only to find Adam deep asleep on the bed, a faint smile on his face.

But eve noticed that Adams chest didn't rise nor fall, evidently passed on peacefully, a smile painting his face.

Wang Long watched on with a slight sadness but promptly shook his head, not wanting to linger on it.

Within the following days, the village was quiet, without the normal children running around, the town quiet, filled with melancholy.

A funeral was held after a few days, burying Adam near the village but still within the barrier, not wanting wild animals to get to the body.

The village was quiet for a few days, everyone melancholic about the loss of their family member. Adam being the oldest person in the village and the father, grandfather and even great grandfather of many inhabitants of the village.

Everyone within the village feeling a loss, the village only slightly returning to a sense of normal after a few days.

After Adam was buried, Wang Long couldn't help but get up and step forwards, appearing before Adams grave.

Condensing a bouquet of flowers before placing them on the grave, smiling lightly before stepping back to the pavilion.

Only calming down after a few minutes of listening to the guqin and rocking on the chair. Letting out a few deep sighs.

"I didn't expect to feel like this... "

Glancing over to Eve who did nothing but sit in her hut in the bed, mourning the loss of her husband.

"And it won't be the last..."

He muttered as he rocked on the chair. With that, Wang Long let out a deep and long sigh before turning his gaze back to the rest of the planet.

To his aurprise, as Wang Long turned his gaze back to the whole planet, he noticed, a few kilometers from the village stood two teenagers.

These two were about 18 and seemed to have run from the village when no one was looking. Running hand in hand as they continued running away from the village.

Wang Long smiled to himself, lightly forgetting the sadness as he assisted the two by making sure that no beasts got near them unless they were weak enough.

The two seemed to be in a relationship and had run away together. The two wandered around as they tried to find adequate shelter.

However, they didn't find any shelter, even as rain started pouring from above. Speaking Speaking two as they ran, only finding a small cave after a few minutes of running in the rain.

Wang Long watched on curiously, partially enjoying this romance story like he was reading a book or watching a show.

Wang Long watched on as the twostarted setting up their home within the cave, reminding Wang Long of Adam and eve when they started out.

After a little while, Wang Long sat, slightly bored due to the lack of anything happening. The spiritual beasts mostly stayed secluded, the only time they went out was to eat occasionally. The rest of the time, the spiritual beasts sat in seclusion to gather qi.

Other than beasts, the humans mostly did things slowly, still slightly mourning, making for bad entertainment for Wang Long.

Therefore, Wang Long rocked on his chair and opened his panel, calmly navigating to the creation panel.

"Hm... I hope this works... if not, it doesn't really matter"

Wang Long said as he found what he was searching for.

Name: Medium soul stones

Price: 10 God Points

Level: Soul Formation

Description: Fragments of deceased soul formation level cultivators. These fragments are able to form soul stones once enough time had passed, fragments of the cultivators soul forming small stones. These stones are able to help with developing sentience to form demons.

Nodding to himself, Wang Long pressed create 15 times, using up almost all his points while the golden aura slowly formed 15 small balls of soul stones.

Nodding to himself, ang Long picked them all out of the air before flying over to the base of the Tree of Life before scattering the soul fragments around the tree.

Remembering a story he heard from his previous life, he scattered the soul stones, each next to a root of the tree.

Smiling to himself, Wang long then used his control to slowly take out the fragments of the souls from the soul stones, gently infusing them into the tree.

Once all of the fragments melted into the tree, Wang long stood still before frowning slightly as he split off an infenticimally small fractions of his soul before crushing it, Wang Long releasing a low groan as a part of his soul is crushed.

The broken part immediately fixing as Wang Long sent the shattered soul fragment into the base of the tree to be slowly absorbed, enough for it for a very long time.

Once placing the soul fragments below the tree, Wang Long warped back to the pagoda.

Sitting down in his chair to relax after having a small part of his soul shatter. Upon sitting down, Wang Long felt a slight tiredness wash over him.

Not minding time much, Wang Long shut his eyes and went into a deep sleep, allowing himself to sleep for many many years.
