God Of Immortals

[The planet was known as earth. It was a mortal world of six continents under the supreme reign of the human emperor Zhu Tao. On one of the continents called Aksan, in the large village of Fountain-Spring, a girl was born. The few remaining members of the Dai clan rejoiced in the miracle since the parents of the child had long passed their prime to give birth and they couldn't afford a potent spirit pill.

With the hope of bringing happiness to the hard-ridden family and a dying clan, they named her Dai Yi Min. Since the death of the only nascent soul in the clan, the family, alongside the remnants of the clan had been living on the outskirts of the village.

Despite the severe hardship facing the family, she was growing up well as an adept in farming, and the future began to look fine for the family.

But when she reached the age of nine, her mother suddenly died with no sign of sickness. It was a massive blow to the family which they never recovered from, but on, they went. And then, one year later when she was at the age of ten, her father suffered total paralysis and became bed-ridden. With no means to seek the aid of an alchemist, and as the only member of her family that could work, she started working extremely hard on their farm.

Daily, she collected and sold chicken eggs from their farm to cater for herself and her father. She was doing that for the following six years. In one of those six years, while she was working on her family farm, she had found a sapphire crystal. Her very own treasure, first of a kind for her. She had used a string to craft a necklace of sapphire blue crystal. Happiness out of madness.

Five years later, her father also died. Since her clan was dying out, and she was twenty years of age, she decided to get married for her family line to continue. At that time, only two members remained of their clan. Dai Yi Min and her niece, Dai Da Chun. But sadly, Dai Da Chun died the following year.

The last of her clan. She married at the age of twenty, and her husband who had a pig farm, was a good man. Tending the two farms, their hardwork appeared to be bearing fruit with the farm produce. Soon after, she became pregnant, and her grim fortune seemed to have taken a good turn. All of a sudden again, her husband died when she was five months pregnant.

Yet, she forged ahead. Four months later, she gave birth to a son and called him Jianyu. It was difficult for her raising him alone, but she had been extremely happy. The second member of her clan, aside herself, alive. And he was her son, meaning her family line would continue. Happiness in a world of sadness.

She worked on the pig farm in the morning and the chicken farm in the evening. It was on one of such evenings that she was attacked by an army of reavers, creatures from the nether region. An extremely rare portal, connecting to the nether-plane had opened on her farm. It resembled an unfortunate situation. Was it? War had been raging on between the reavers and fiend factions in the nether region it appeared, when the portal opened on her farm.

An unstable portal, probably a random occurence. It was really unjust, and the odds were unfair. She tried to flee, but they quickly surrounded her as if they had initially come for her. Hence, fought she did. With her son tied to her back and a short sword in hand, she battled like a deranged berserker. She combated tooth and nail, but with no cultivation and little martial arts training, she realized it was a loosing battle.

Then, she prayed to the gods she knew, and didn't know. It was at that moment that the crystal she hung around her neck was triggered, and the celestial karmic merits stored in the crystal was transferred to the mother and child.]

The three divinities contemplated on the information while they focused on the two souls.

"Laws of karma are laws of creation, and laws of creation compel reincarnation. All souls are bound."

Lady Amra softly uttered after a few seconds of silence.

"Amra, can you consider the same world for them?"

"As mother and son? Probably. They have the merits, anyway."

"If Amra do that,  then Arta, you'll need to delay the reincarnation of the son until the mother is of age."

"That won't be a problem, Asha. What about you?"

"I'm thinking a reincarnation in a mortal world as an Asura for the mother, and half of the merits as a mortal for the son. But he'll have a boon."

"Hm."

The other two sisters agreed and lady Amra stretched out her hands, turning the wheel of destiny.

"To their karmic merits, I, Divine Amra, will give each of them a moment of destiny in their next lives. You will be born in the world of Lorra with the blessings of heavens."

"To their karmic merits, I Divine Arta, will give each one of them a moment of time in their next lives."

Lady Arta said as she spun the wheel of time.

"To their karmic merits, I, Divine Asha, will also give each one of them a moment of fate in their next lives."

The wheel of fate started spinning.

As all the three wheels for the souls of the mother and son began to spin very fast, they turned their attention towards the mother.

"You will be born as an Asura. Your destiny will be protected until you become a full Asura. After that, your destiny will be in your own hands and the hands of the universe."

"You will be preserved from all for a period of time until when you become a full Asura."

"Your fate will be held until you become a full Asura, Afterwards, your fate will be in the hands of the universe but with the cosmic blessings."

After that, they shifted their views, and focused on the soul of the son.

"After a period of time, you will be reincarnated into the world of Anyang as a mortal but with a boon in your destiny."

"Your soul has been bound in time to your mother, you will be together with her in the next life."

"On the account of the merits on you, you will be born with the blessings of the universe on your fate."

When they were through, they ushered the soul of the mother into the light of Radia. The divine myriads mirror flashed brightly. The Orb released fibre lights that encircled the souls. And the golden bell of destiny sounded.
