I.. Am God?-Chapter 223 Divine Heaven Empire

"There's no one else except me in this universe that can do it." He stated deeply.

"Then who is it? It isn't you, is it, Teacher?" Denos turned to him and asked. "You are right. It isn't me." The being answered. This time, Denos was already too confused.

He was suddenly puzzled when the being looked up in the non-existent sky, and gazed at nothingness, "Can I?" He asked.

As if he got a response, the being became the same size as Denos. He turned into a being of cosmic energy, a singular entity in a humanoid form. He had a staff in his hand made of himself, also cosmic energy.

Denos was startled and immediately approached his Teacher, "Why did you reform yourself, Teacher?" Denos asked.

"To answer your question." The Teacher replied. "I am Kathchronus, The Avatar of Time. I am the Time and the embodiment of its laws and intricacies."

"I told you that no one excluding me can do that action in this universe because it is true; No one can do that in this universe." He stated. Gradually, Denos slowly understood what Kathchronus meant, "You mean.. the one doing that is from another Universe?!"

"Not entirely correct." Kathchronus shook his head in response, "It is not– He is not– from this universe. He is from another plane of existence, a plane that we still could not hope to ascend at this point, but someone would definitely do so in the near future."

"That person, He, is someone who controls the entire universe's existence, all of the universes' existence. Naturally, the control of the Law of Time of a certain realm, even the entire universe's law of time, is under his behest, even without the use of even a single energy." He explained.

"Is there such an impossibly strong being? I find it hard to believe." Denos gasped. "Oh, student, you have no idea what's possible." Kathchronus laughed.

"That being, if he so wished, can erase whole universes from existing. His power over the beings under him is unfathomable." Kathchronus stated with a hint of apprehension in his voice, "Only those awakened beings had the ability to contact that person beyond our comprehension."

"Who are they?" Denos asked curiously. "They are known in many identities." Said Kathchronus.

"Some call them Awakened, others call them Lunatics, but knowledgeable men like us, know exactly what to call them; The Fate Weavers." Kathchronus uttered. Suddenly, a person appeared behind them, startling Denos.

As if expecting his arrival, Kathchronus turned around and asked the newly arrived person, "What goal do you have by going here?"

"After Gaius was reduced to a dream, of course I have nothing to do there anymore. I have given the necessary orders for Lord Andre's men there, so they should already know to protect Nari and the others." The person stretched lazily after closing the portal behind him.

Kathchronus narrowed his eyes at him. "You are ?thalos, the man that was tasked to assist the Demon Lord Gaius in his time inside his prison world?" He asked.

"You know me and the Destined Fate?!" ?thalos exclaimed, "You aren't a Fate Weaver. Who are you?" He growled.

"Kathchronus, Avatar of Time." Kathchronus answered indifferently, which made ?thalos' spine shiver. "Although I am not a Fate Weaver, I can surely erase you from the Existence of Time."

"I-I am sorry, Lord Kathchronus, if I have offended you." ?thalos bowed to apologize, "I am just here in accordance with His will."

When Kathchronus heard "His will", he was immediately alerted, as someone that would be addressed by the Fate Weavers as "His" could only refer to that person.

"What is His will?" Kathchronus asked. "He wants the Keeper to return to where he belongs and secretly protect it."

Denos' eyes widened and he immediately turned to ?thalos. "Is it me?" He asked urgently.

"Are you the Keeper?"

"As far as I know, I am the Keeper of The Hall, so, yes." Denos nodded hesitantly. "Then, where do you belong?"

In the face of that question, Denos was silent as he thought deeply. "I can only belong in the bosom of her embrace." Denos sighed.

?thalos' head suddenly shifted, as if he was listening to someone, "Return. Bai Xia will return." He suddenly stated, shaking the deepest soul of Denos.

He abruptly turned around to Kathchronus, but he was beaten by the Avatar of Time as Kathchronus said to him, "Go where you belong. Do what you will. You have already learned a lot from me, so you should return."

Denos looked at Kathchronus gratefully before bowing deeply, "Thank you, Teacher." He said before zooming to the direction of Matheon.

Watching him, ?thalos spoke, "The Universe is already in chaos. Time is also being influenced by it, and all would lead to that event."

Kathchronus just chuckled and glanced at ?thalos, "What's fated is fated. And Lord Fate's Will is Fated. No one in this universe or any other universe can alter his will except the future main. Hell, even the future main's mind is under Him."

"Sigh."

After that conversation, the existence of that realm seemed to vanish without trace, reappearing somewhere in the cosmos, or in another universe's cosmos.

In the Immortal Territories..

Two hundred years have passed since the first war for unification has occurred. One hundred years have also passed since the Qin Dynasty unified the old territories, therefore establishing the Sun Devouring Empire once again.

Inside a tavern in the border city of the empire, people were talking about the events of the past centuries.

"Hundreds of years had already passed, yet I can't seem to forget Crowned Prince Alexander's feat of defeating multiple armies that were greater than his army by multiple degrees." A bard sitting in front of the people stated with pride..

"In the battle against the combined armies of Steins Empire and Northern Yuan numbering to two million, together with his shining valiant spear, he charged with his army of 500,000 and vanquished the foes with great honor! That was the battle that turned the heads of every domain, making them notice our greatness once again!"

"After that fight, he became known as Qin's God of War, the Valiant Spear King! His noble expeditions made us the greatest hegemon of that era. Together with his father, His Divine Majesty, they coursed through the battlefield, taking territories from foes one by one!"

"They became the battlefield's terror! With the Crowned Prince's spear, His Divine Majesty fought with his unparalleled strategies, defeating enemies without even fighting! They are unstoppable! And their unstoppable trait led us to this era; the era of prosperity!"

"I still can't forget the grandness of His Divine Majesty when he re-established the authority of the Sun Devouring Empire and instated the Divine Heaven Empire." One of the men holding his tankard mug said with reminiscence.

"Hah! How can the people of Divine Heaven forget that?" The bard laughed, "When His Divine Majesty waved the Royal Brush and wrote on the heavens his declaration of glory, dragons and phoenixes descended from the heavens, wanting to quell his arrogance and tried to lay waste on the newly united empire. But what did the Divine Majesty do? His Divine Majesty only waved his hand and declared his conviction before the heavens and suppressing those dragons and phoenixes into bowing in deference to his authority."

"After that, the Divine Heaven Empire became prosperous and was feared across the continent! Although we haven't moved for a century, those foreign dominions still fear our presence!"

"I for one, heard that the Empires of Silver Ice, Sun Dragon, Iron Bastion, and Glorious Phoenix have established a secret alliance to deter any of our Divine Heaven Empire's moves that will go past them. Even Qinshan Commerce seemed to have difficulties when establishing trade with the foreign nations." Another man butted in.

"What harm would that do to us?" The bard laughed once more, "We are supported by His Divine Majesty! We would never be at a disadvantage! They're just weakening themselves! HAHA!"

"You are right about that!" Everyone inside the tavern laughed wholeheartedly. Hidden from their view, a simple-clothed man smiled in satisfaction as he listened to their stories of His Divine Majesty's greatness.

Grinning, he slammed his mug down, attracting the attention of everyone in the tavern. "For His Divine Majesty and his kin's greatness, we are grateful! Therefore, everything here is on me! Cheers for His Divine Majesty!" He shouted and raised his mug.

"Yeah!!" When they heard that everything's free, everyone rejoiced even more, and the atmosphere inside the tavern became joyous. 𝐟𝚛e𝐞𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃e𝒍.c𝑜m

The man also walked to the bard and handed him ten gold coins, "A tip for a great storyteller!" He said with a smile.

The bard was shocked and he immediately bowed repeatedly like a pecking chicken, "Thank you very much, mister!" After he thanked him, the bard picked up his pipa and sang happily, with the people joining in on the fun.
