Beyond The Gods' Will

Orion stood at the peak of a jagged cliff, his gaze stretching far across Imperius Dominion. 

The salty ocean breeze whipped through his silver-black hair as he exhaled, his mind fully immersed in Omniscience.

Data flooded his consciousness—maps, ancient landscapes, civilizations long forgotten by time. 

Using his SYSTEM and Omniscience, he was constructing a mental blueprint of what this world would one day become: modern Earth.

📜 Constructing Real-Time Geographic Overlay...

📜 Analyzing tectonic shifts, historical records, and future planetary evolution...

📜 Blueprint of Earth's Continental Formation: 37% Complete...

Orion's mind expanded, drawing knowledge from every civilization before and after his time. 

The land before him was not yet broken into continents—this was Pangaea, the supercontinent 220 million years before the modern world.

And within this world, great Kingdoms and Empires thrived.

📜 The Major Kingdoms & Empires of Pangaea

🔹 Human Empire (Homo-Habilis)

Location: Between modern-day North Africa & South America (Gondwana)

The dominant Homo habilis civilization—primitive yet rapidly evolving.

Built fortified stone cities along river valleys, thriving off agriculture and tribal warfare.

🔹 Elven Kingdom

Location: North-East Africa (Gondwana)

The first civilization to master Qi & Mana simultaneously.

Forest cities built within massive, living trees, using nature-bound magic.

🔹 Dwarven Kingdom

Location: Southeast South America & South Africa (Gondwana)

Experts in metallurgy, crafting indestructible weapons and artifacts.

Their underground strongholds were fortified against invaders.

🔹 Eldorian Empire

Location: The heart of Pangaea (Between the Human Empire, Elven Kingdom & Dwarven Kingdom)

A rare alliance of Elves, Dwarves, and Humans (Homo habilis).

The largest empire, wielding a mix of all three races' knowledge—magic, technology, and strategy.

🔹 Dragon & Wyvern Lairs

Location: Modern-day Antarctica (Isolated Gondwana Land)

The oldest creatures of Qi and Mana, their species thriving in isolation.

Ruled by an Ancient Dragon King, guarding the secrets of pure Qi energy.

🔹 Monster Strongholds

Location: Modern-day Australia (Gondwana Land)

Unlike other races, monsters had no fixed capital—they thrived in dungeons and lairs scattered throughout Pangaea.

A single Monster God ruled over the strongest creatures in their chaotic, ever-moving empire.

🔹 Demon Dominion

Location: Modern-day India (Gondwana Land) + Scattered 60% across Pangaea.

The most widespread and unpredictable race.

They thrived in darkness, assimilating into other kingdoms through deception, war, or corruption.

🔹 Titan Empire

Location: Modern-day Russia (Laurasia)

The largest beings, standing as tall as mountains. Blessed by Both Mana & Qi.

Their cities were carved into the bones of the earth, and their warriors were nearly unstoppable in battle.

🔹 Merfolk Dominion

Location: The entire ocean

No Records Stating the Exact Kingdom/Empire of Merfolks.

Their power was tied to the tides and the Qi Core of the sea.

🔹 Heavenly Realms (Cloudfolk, Divinities & Angels)

Location: Sky Cities (Constructed using Magic/Mana & Qi)

Built by Cloudfolk, Divinities, and Angels, floating above Pangaea.

They rarely interacted with the surface world, believing themselves above mortals.

🔹 Ventari Empire

Location: Modern-day Europe (Laurasia)

The wind-bound race, known for their speed and mastery over aerial combat.

Their warriors and cities were built upon floating mountain peaks, sustained by powerful Mana & Qi.

📜 [SYSTEM UPDATE] 📜

🔹 Blueprint of Earth's Continental Formation: 100% Complete

🔹 Kingdom & Empire Data Stored in SYSTEM Archive

Orion exhaled sharply, his vision snapping back to the present.

Everything was clearer now.

Pangaea wasn't just a land of random tribes and beasts—this was an organized world, built by gods, warlords, and rulers.

Who had mastered Qi, Mana, and technology far beyond his past era.

This meant two things:

1️⃣ He had clear targets—races, cities, and power structures he could either ally with, conquer, or destroy.

2️⃣ The threat level was far higher than he had initially thought.

Orion smirked.

"This world is more advanced than I expected…"

His hands clenched into fists.

"But that just makes conquering it even more interesting."

Xeno Star Cluster – The Domain of the New Universal Gods

The Eternal Castle stood at the heart of the Xeno Star Cluster, a celestial fortress where the Seven Universal Gods ruled. 

Their thrones hovered in an endless void, each crafted from the essence of their divine dominion.

Yet today, the atmosphere was heavy with discord.

For 0.60 Clocks (57 Earth Hours), they had debated one anomaly—Orion Ashvale.

And still, no consensus had been reached.

[The Debate]----------

Xyra – Flame of Life: "We cannot allow this anomaly to exist!"

Her silver-blue flames burned erratically, her frustration clear. Orion should not be. And yet, he was.

Zareth – God of Time: "The past is unchangeable, Xyra. Even for us."

His form, split between gold and obsidian, flickered with an unsettling stillness. 

His voice carried absolute finality, yet there was no urgency.

Astraeus – God of Space: "A mortal escaping the weave of fate itself… fascinating."

His body swirled like an expanding nebula, countless galaxies forming and collapsing within his cosmic frame. 

His voice echoed in infinite tones, layered across dimensions.

Veyra – Goddess of the Void: (amused) "Even I cannot erase him without putting some of my effort. That alone makes him… interesting."

Her form was a blackened silhouette, a void in the shape of a woman. Where she moved, reality cracked.

Elvarion – God of Creation: (sternly) "Existence must follow Order. He is outside of it."

His golden energy pulsed, embodying the law of creation itself.

Syphoros – God of Life: (calmly) "And yet, he lives. Life follows no perfect plan, only the will to continue."

His radiant silver aura pulsed, resonating with the breath of all living things.

Nytheris – Goddess of Death: (whispering) "All things end in death… but this mortal… does not fear it."

Her presence stilled the flow of time, a chilling mist spreading from her ethereal body.

Malakar – God of Chaos & Power: (grinning) "A mortal who defies gods? Haha! Let him entertain us."

His form constantly shifted, never staying in one shape. His voice was pure unpredictable madness.

Xyra's flames surged. "You are all fools!"

She turned toward Zareth. "You, the God of Time, should understand this threat better than anyone!"

Zareth remained motionless. "You assume he is a threat. He is a mortal."

Astraeus interjected. "A mortal who slipped through rewritten fate."

Veyra smirked. "That is what makes this fun."

Xyra's flames cracked. "Fun? He carries the Second Flame of Life! He is a distortion!"

Zareth's golden and obsidian eyes flickered. "You forget, Xyra. You are merely a replacement for what was lost. The previous Flame of Life made a choice."

Xyra seethed. "Tch! and now I must correct it."

Astraeus sighed. "We can remove him directly, but us mobilising for one mortal..."

Elvarion scoffed. "So, we are to stand idle?"

Syphoros smiled. "Perhaps… we do not need to interfere personally."

Veyra's grin widened. "Ah… I see. Let another force deal with him."

Zareth closed his eyes. "A test."

Their gazes shifted toward a massive projection of the universe, displaying a crimson planet pulsing with violent storms—

Zora8T – The Planet of Endless Slaughter

A world 42 times the volume of Earth, where survival followed only one law—kill or be killed.

There were no civilizations. No kingdoms. No leaders.

[RECORDS: Zora8T]

🔹 Planetary Class: Extreme Evolutionary Combat World

🔹 Laws of Survival: Qi & Mana absorption through slaughter

🔹 Intelligence: None – Creatures know only to hunt, kill, and evolve

🔹 Time Dilation: 1 Year on Zora8T = 57 Earth Days

The God of Creation Added 50x More Mana & Qi on Zora8T for the Creatures to grow Strong and devour the Earth. 

Xyra narrowed her eyes. "You intend to connect Earth to this?"

Syphoros nodded. "If he cannot survive, then he does not deserve to exist."

Veyra chuckled. "If he cannot handle Zora8T… then he will be erased."

Elvarion smirked. "Then it is settled. Let the planet consume him."

Malakar laughed. "If he thrives? Then we'll have something interesting to watch!"

Xyra's flames dimmed. "Do what you want. But when he defies even this…"

Her fire flared violently. "…do not say I did not warn you."

The Final Decree.

📜 [DIVINE DECISION] 📜

🔹 Earth shall be connected to Zora8T.

🔹 Zora8T's creatures will begin appearing in dungeons across Pangaea.

🔹 If Orion survives, he proves his right to exist. If he fails, he will be erased with the planet itself.

🔹 The Universal Gods will not interfere further.

Zareth raised his hand, speaking the final words.

"It is decided."

The stars themselves trembled as the decree was made.

The gates between Earth and Zora8T will open in 10 Days(Time of Earth)—A silent, cosmic shift that Orion remained completely unaware of.

But soon, he would face a challenge beyond anything he had imagined.

The matter of Orion had been set aside.

For now.

In the Eternal Castle, an unsettling silence settled over the Seven Universal Gods. 

The decree had been made—Earth would soon be connected to Zora8T. Orion Ashvale's fate would be tested, and they would watch from afar.

But something far greater loomed on the horizon.

Zareth – God of Time leaned forward on his throne of fractured golden rings. His voice carried a weight that made even gods listen.

Zareth: "Xyra. Bring out the report."

Xyra – Flame of Life nodded, her silver-blue fire flaring briefly before she vanished into the void.

For a fraction of a moment, reality itself seemed to warp, as if something unseen shifted beyond mortal understanding.

Then—

She reappeared, a tattered black-and-gold scroll floated in front of Her.

Xyra: "This is the latest update."

She stepped forward, placing the scroll in the air before Zareth. 

The parchment unraveled on its own, glowing with arcane symbols that flickered chaotically,

as if something was trying to suppress the information within.

The gods leaned in. Even Astraeus, who rarely cared for anything, narrowed his eyes.

Astraeus – God of Space: (slowly) "This pattern… it was not supposed to happen."

Veyra – Goddess of the Void tilted her head, her void-like form flickering unnaturally.

Veyra: "It's not just unbelievable—it's wrong, Until there was a traitor."

Her voice carried something rare among gods.

A hint of unease, A Looming Threat.

Zareth's fingers traced the glowing words written across the scroll. The more he read, the more his golden and obsidian eyes darkened.

Zareth: (quietly) "So, it has begun."

Elvarion – God of Creation frowned.

Elvarion: "Impossible, we were betrayed."

Syphoros – God of Life shook his head, his silver radiance pulsing like an unsteady heartbeat.

Syphoros: "Maybe or Maybe not, something from outside has forced this change."

Nytheris – Goddess of Death traced a single pale finger along the floating scroll. The symbols twisted under her touch.

Nytheris: "This… Look, His mental status is Abnormal."

A chilling silence.

Then—

Malakar – God of Chaos & Power burst out laughing, his unstable form crackling with dark amusement.

Malakar: "Well then, it looks like we're in for some fun!"

The gods turned toward him, unimpressed.

Malakar: (grinning) "If this is as bad as it seems, let me go check it out. I'll fight whatever's causing this disturbance. And if I can't fight it, I'll at least enjoy the chaos!"

Zareth: (firmly) "No. You Can't"

Malakar's grin faltered slightly.

Malakar: "What? And why not?"

Zareth's golden and obsidian gaze locked onto him.

Zareth: "Why do you think we never move?"

Malakar's expression darkened slightly, but he remained silent.

Zareth: "It is not because we do not wish to. It is because we cannot, we are tied here."

A cold stillness filled the Eternal Castle, the weight of unspoken truths pressing down like an invisible force.

Even Malakar, who thrived in chaos, did not laugh this time.

Something was wrong.

Something far beyond even the Universal Gods themselves.

They felt trapped.

Day-5-Imperius-Dominion.----------

The sky burned in hues of deep crimson and gold as the sun dipped toward the horizon, 

casting long shadows over the newly founded Imperius Dominion. 

The air was thick with the scent of metal, scorched wood, and lingering embers.

Standing at the edge of his domain, Orion exhaled, his sharp silver-black eyes scanning the results of his relentless work. 

Five days—that was all it took for him to transform this untouched land into the first steps of a fortress that would defy gods and fate alike.

He also encountered some Low Level Monsters and His Level Went Up by 2. [Level : 17 --> 19]

His body ached from exertion, muscles stiff yet filled with a deep satisfaction. This was progress.

Smithy – Forged upon a Fire Qi Vein.

The heart of the domain pulsed with heat, embers flickering as Orion stepped toward the newly constructed blacksmith forge. 

Molten metal hissed, cooling into solid forms as enchanted hammers and tongs lay ready for the next task.

📜 [SYSTEM NOTIFICATION] 📜

🔹 Fire Qi Absorption Detected – Enhancing Metal Refinement Efficiency.

🔹 Smithy Durability: 200% Strength Boost from Environmental Qi.

Orion smirked. Perfect.

Artifact Refining Smithy – Also positioned over the Fire Qi Vein.

A secondary structure stood adjacent to the smithy, smaller yet refined. 

Rows of enchanted crystals hummed with energy, amplifying the natural Qi of the land. 

This was where weapons, armor, and relics would be tempered with both science and mysticism.

Two-Story House – 150 meters from the smithy, resting on an Earth Vein.

A formidable yet elegant wood-and-stone residence, built for both comfort and survival. 

Thick steel support beams reinforced the structure, while mana-infused walls subtly radiated warmth, adapting to the environment. 

Storage Facility – 150 meters from the smithy, near his house, built over an Earth Vein.

A towering wooden structure reinforced with iron plates and mana-infused locks stood like a silent guardian over Orion's growing resources. 

Qi-infused steel bars strengthened its foundation, making it nearly impervious to natural decay.

Encircling it all—a high-security Iron fence embedded with Mana Crystals and Qi Crystals, 

pulsating in rhythmic harmony, forming an automatic defense barrier against potential intruders.

📜 [SYSTEM NOTIFICATION] 📜

🔹 Defensive Perimeter Active – Intrusion Detection Online.

🔹 Mana & Qi Barrier Established – Estimated Resistance: 3rd-Rank Monster Impact.

Orion's fingers clenched into a fist. Not enough. If 3rd-Rank threats could still break through, it meant he wasn't done yet.

He walked slowly through his domain, his expression stoic yet intense. This wasn't just a settlement.

This was war preparation.

Orion (thinking): Every piece has a purpose. Every structure is a step toward survival. Toward conquest.

His breath was steady, yet his mind surged with calculations, adjustments, and possibilities.

Then—

📜 [SYSTEM NOTIFICATION] 📜

🔹 Time Until Zora8T's First Influence Appears: 10 Days

Orion's eyes darkened slightly. Zora8T. The name carried weight, an omen of something approaching—something unknown.

Orion (muttering): Zora8T's Influence... What does it means.

Zynx(from INV.) : "So Either Galactic Gods or Universal Gods acted."

Orion(Surprised) : "What does it means.??"

Zynx : "Zora8T is a Planet of Mindless Creatures who survives by killing and Absorbing, if Zora8T's Influence will appear here it means."

Zynx : "That, Zora8T's Creature will come to earth to annihilate... it, Maybe."

"I can't say for sure, but what I can say is Either Universal or Galactic Gods have spotted us. "

Orion (Surprised) : "Now What! What do we do."

Zynx : "Just Level UP and Kill whatever comes, I think the Gods will not intervene, if they wanted they could've already acted."

Orion : "What's stopping them from acting." 

Zynx : "According to my previous life aside Chronos, there should be a Big Problem Coming there way. "

"They will not act to you, Unless absolute necessary."

Orion : "Hmm....."

A Spark in the Darkness

As he approached the smithy, the roaring heat embraced him. He traced a finger along a freshly forged steel blade, its surface gleaming under the forge's light.

But his instincts flared—something wasn't right.

His gaze snapped to the fence, where a faint distortion rippled across the Qi and Mana-infused barriers.

Orion (low voice): …Something's testing the perimeter.

A slow, deliberate exhale left his lips. Was it a beast? A scouting presence? Or simply the natural tension of a land untouched by civilization for eons?

He reached for his blade, stepping toward the disturbance.
