Capítulo 5: Incomplete world

Awakened in a strange land, a land incomparable to any other, this place, however, is familiar, familiar to Yufang, a place he once knew. Looking around he's encased, encased in a room, a room of eternal darkness, smiling Yufang laughs, "HAHA-Ha," his smile growing ever so dominant as he mutters, "Hell? No, it couldn't be I could not have returned to that forsaken place, yes. This is an illusion, I've merely lost my sanity."

Deep in thought, intense pain crashes down crushing him, Yufang plagued by migraines, his memories fade growing weary.

In the darkness, his vision is rendered meaningless, without sight, his path grows unknown, however, against it all, a voice is heard. A voice ever so calming rings out, the pain subsides, tranced Yufang stands, walking on endlessly.

Dark the world is, his sight limited but he can see, a room minuscule in size, yet infinite in space, directions unknown, move he does, chasing this voice ceaselessly, his memory foggy, but he continues in search of solitude.

Endlessly following in search of a voice, something strange happens, an oddity within space. With each and every moment he grows closer the voice grows distant, chasing infinitely Yufang stumbles sinking into darkness.

Hours pass, Yufang's direction clouded, constantly on the move yet he remains in place never moving Yufang mutters, "Backwards or forwards which way am I going?" Clicking his tongue Yufang snickers, "Tsk, it doesn't matter, in the end, as long as I continue to move, a path will eventually reveal itself."

Movement, estranged movement, in the distance, something scurries, this movement a dance. A dance ever so mesmerizing captivates Yufang's attention, each time, along with this dance, a voice rings out, it's words incomprehensible, but they remain profound, divine, to Yufang a song of endless allure and dance to please Gods. A song of passage.

Each word, each movement, a grand display. With each display unimaginable power is summoned forth, a wave of light moves, issued by this dance, depleting all darkness. Each word moves forth aurora of color painting the world anew. A world containing infinite allure is created, Yufang enticed forever follows, however once more this dance, this voice, it moves ever so distant. Soon enough the world darkens, returning to nothing Yufang stands there in a dark room.

In a distant past, in a world long ago, there was an ancient age, an age before all. A world of beauty stood above all ruling the myriad plains, however, this world, a world of color grew dull corrupted by sin. Angered God grew, his creation destroyed for trivial means.

His world a disgrace, it was abandoned, he envisioned a world anew, a utopia above all. A world free from sin, a world unlike any other. His creation, a room of ever-changing beauty was made, the very room Yufang remained, however this utopia incomplete, for God lived in that world for too long, eventually, he too toiled away, growing dull dying, his vision incomplete, an empty void it remained. It's purpose lost, no longer a utopia, a cursed plain it became.

Laying in the infinite darkness, Yufang's mind clears entering a state of nothingness. For years upon years, he laid, staring into the eternal void, however with time he yearned. Yearning for something more in this world of darkness, he wished to see more, he wished for a grand aurora of colors, he wished to see the beauty of the world, however, he could not. Stagnant he too becomes darkness.

In a dark room, a voice rings, calling out however you remain incoherent shut off from the world. Nevertheless, they meet you, your senses overriding you yearn for more, wishing for the outside world, yearning to see that grand display once more, but you've realized this too late, for now, you are the very darkness of this room.

This world incomplete happiness soon shall pass remaining entrapped in darkness, you await eternal solitude.

The world dark, Yufang laughs crazed never refusing he basks in the darkness, smiling gently as if having been reunited with an old friend.

Yufang said, "HAHA-HA, solitude... Yes, eternal solitude," Yufang's skin tingling and his blood boiling he mutters, "Yes, this is it, the feeling I've yearned for. Solitude the final outcome of the path of self-destruction."

Basking in darkness, Yufang remembers back, to the days of his grand glory. Enjoying the company, Yufang's worries disappear, and he walks, endlessly embracing darkness, drowning within his own happiness.

Embracing darkness Yufang drifts off, entering an eternal slumber. Yufang an entity residing within the darkness remains he does not, for he is ravaged by the very thing he loves, slowly refined to be devoured, soon he shall be nothing, but darkness itself.

In a distant world, afar standing above a boundless mountain range, a couple looks to the sky, their eyes filling with tears, a voice sounds out, "Yufang, to embrace your own inner demon, you idiot!"

In the darkness, a boy devoured by, darkness and before this boy, a monstrous being bellows moving forward, this monstrous being a dragon, laughs, muttering, "Truly you inherited his genes, even with all the power in this world, you too embrace stupidity. A fool you are."

Suddenly an array of roars rang out as this dragon burst into laughter, continuing, "Perhaps stupidity is the correct path. All the Gods of old where Afterall exceeded by a new breed of idiots. It may be stupidity itself fuels them for greatness allowing them to rise above reaching a new hight."

An age-old cursed rang out, "Light a fire, set your soul ablaze, empty your heart, abandon darkness, becoming nothing other than blazing light itself."

Timeless deities from the beginning of time, ruled over all yet with time timeless they were no longer, somehow from nowhere those of extreme stupidity rose above, crazed they took every risk rising far above, exceeding those renowned as Gods.

Devoured, yet coherent Yufang smiles, muttering back, "Setting your soul ablaze, a fool's choice, I refuse! Rule over darkness, overcome your inner demons, devour them, allow them to fuel your very growth. Never abandoning your path become the very thing you despise, walk the path of destruction rising above."

Afar this couple stops weeping and laughter rings out their worries gone. Near a dragon bellowed with laughter, disappearing from time, exiting existence.

In another world, a dragon sat upon the corpses for countless muttering, "Truly idiocy is the path to power."

In a world of darkness, Yufang curses the very thing he loves, "Fucking darkness! Do you dare devour your god?" Continue is does, bursting into laughter he roars out, "DEVOUR!"

Their within Yufang a dark void began to spin, continuing infinitely, faster and faster it spins transcending space and time, chaotic this void becomes. The void darkness itself exceeds all, chaotic it runs rampant trampling all, absorbing and refining, the world devoured.

This day, a world, God's world ceased to exist. A crazed man moves forth, trampling upon his own, destroying the very world he yearns for, the world he loves.

For power, he walks a path tedious, a path above all, a path of self-destruction. For this path, Yufang abandons all hope, all wishes, all dreams, all emotions, and becomes the void itself.

A miracle, this boy enters metamorphosis in this he becomes nothing but a lifeless frame. His body born anew from the very matter of darkness, the very void he cultivates Yufang becomes, chaotic he grows, crazed he dissipates, forever returning leaving behind an array of colors, creating anew.

Demonically he grins.

Distant, a man's rings voice, "Are you okay?" Upon his wrinkled face, aged by the curse of time, sweat falls, this man's face carrying a look of worry, he calls out once more, "Yufang awaken." Yes, this man, the old monk from before.

Exiting metamorphosis, Yufang awakens, within that forest, he mutters, "So I've returned," his eyes opening searching, looking out, before his sight, an aged man closes in, his lips pursed, Yufang frightened squeals, "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Quickly backing off, Yufang takes deep breaths, screaming, "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!"

The monk, lightly smiling moves forward speaking out, "Ahh, so you're awake now. Good," walking closer he continues, "Come follow master, I'll fix your roots."

Scared Yufang continues backing off, shouting, "I never agreed to be your disciple!"

Not disheartened, the monk continues moving forward, a large smile rises and he speaks calmly reprimanding Yufang, "Don't be foolish, you have clearly agreed." His smile changes, slightly demonic it becomes, as he forcefully picks up Yufang before swiftly moving.

Captured, tears fall from Yufangs eyes, as he mutters, "My purity...I'm sorry my parents, I shall take my life for failing you. However, before I do so, I shall take his, so please wait, wait for that day where I atone for this sin."

Laughing the monk speaks, "Idiotic disciple, I did not harm your purity."

Not believing Yufang sneers, speaking, "You said, your name was Yong Sheng right?"

His movement stops as the old monk replied, "Indeed Yong Sheng is I."

Crazed laughter rings out as Yufang speaks, "Yong Sheng you crazed old man, I'm not your disciple, give me the timeless wood and return me to that forest. You crazed tree I'm living in the present, yet you've already died. What is your justice? What are your morals?"

Slight laughter rings out from Yong Sheng as he speaks, "Perhaps, I am dead."

Continuing Yufang cursed, "Within this accursed world all to be is merely hells incarnation yet you dare say you are eternal?" (Yong Sheng - Eternal life.)

Staring to the sky drifting off into thought the monk mutters, "Eternal I am, at a certain time I stood above all as the strongest, but times changed, yet I remained the same. Throughout my life, I had taught so many but eventually, they grew exceeding me becoming something that should never be."

Yong Sheng, berating speaks, "You crazed fool, you're not a God, however this feeling I understand it. Eternal I once was. However, this is where our feelings split, I remained eternal, standing above all life I devoured all. You clouded fool you are not eternal, retire to the fields, raise a family, and give in to this thing you call fate."

Not heeding Yufang's words Yong Sheng bursts out into laughter, saying, "I refuse to give in, I will remain until I rise again, and you will become my disciple."

Carrying Yufeng, Yong Sheng moves once more, Yufang's face darkens. A mere moment passes, yet for Yufang an eternity.

Stopping they arrive, in a distant land before a grand palace, the forest no longer in sight, Yufang smiles wryly as he thinks back and screams, "No! I must return, return me to that forest."

Yong Sheng calm replies, "Why would anyone return there? To that forsaken land." Putting down Yufang, he moves forth, slightly moving his wrist to indicate Yufang to follow. Reluctantly Yufang does so entering the palace.

Within this palace, Yufang looks around, in his sight an immense field, however this field, remains empty yet it remains familiar, Yufang had seen this field before, confused he asks, "Where exactly is this place?"

Smiling Yong Sheng looks to the sky answering, "The Sect of Eternals."

Looking to the sky myriad residences cover the skies, a city of immortals, amazed Yufang crazily laughs thinking to himself, "Perhaps I was wrong, this world shall be more interesting than I could ever imagine. It seems here they have exceeded even the God of old."

Old man it seems you've lied, never once had you entered the path of self-destruction, you're merely a poser.

Forgetting the past, Yufang says, "Old man it seems you've lied, never once had you entered the path of self-destruction, you abandoned that forest long ago, you sir are merely a poster. However, It seems I will become your disciple, however, this shall be only in name no boundaries will be placed."

Yong Sheng looks to the sky once more entering deep thought before nodding his head and speaking, "Very well. However, for now, you cannot tell anyone this."

Walking forward, they move on for hours, there they find on the surface, a small pagoda, the pagoda familiar however back then there was a forest, however, the forest remained no longer intrigued Yufang looked to Yong Sheng for answers intently glaring at him.

Feeling a glare Yong Sheng speaks, "What is it?"

Answering Yufang speaks, "I've seen this before, no I've been here before just exactly where are we? Where is the forest?"

Yong Sheng replying speaks nonchalantly, "We are no longer in the forest, this is the land of Zhou."

Baffled, Yufang screams, "But... But this pagoda, it was there, this plain is was there, they where all their in that forest!"

Laughing Yong Sheng speaks, "That's impossible after all that forest is not part of this world. Zhou is not the forest and the forest is not Zhou, therefore this plain can never be there."

Thinking to himself, "Haha indeed, it's interesting, truly this world is fun. That place was definitely real, It seems in this world I've already discovered an oddity." Smiling he mutters, "What exactly does this world have for me to unfold? What great secrets does this world hold?"

Moving forward, they enter the pagoda, for now, plan honey pot was forgotten, entire hiatus.

Inside the pagoda, nothing but an empty room, in this Yong Sheng smiles lightly, calmly saying, "Rise." Transcending gravity, this pagoda rose, entering the sky joining the endless array of residences.
