"H-High Elder?"

*CA-TCHAAA!!*

Streaks of interwoven thunderbolts struck in numerous areas as a world filled with bright flashes appeared. These weren't summoned on purpose, they were just an after effect of the unbridled friction from the shivering clouds!

*RUMBLEEEE*

"Second Realm..."

A mumble of serenity only responded to the gasping elders, where a man draped in white turned around and faced the chasm! The commander was already stricken enough to forget about the battle at the moment, as what was occurring was earth-shattering!

That was, the attempt at summoning second realm energy!

"You..."

The commander took a step back as he looked dumbfoundedly at the calm High Elder. This was no simple matter to him, this was a case of immense danger!

Many may not know, but the lower realm is, in fact, an unending collection of worlds! These worlds contain the 3 sections, corresponding with the Ancient, Martial and Heavenly. They are connected in the form of a sphere where each takes a third of the entire world.

Thus, a world is just a combined form of an Ancient, Martial and Heavenly area! Imagine the world to be a pie chart, where each section takes up 1/3rd of the entire chart, but spherical.

Ignorance is the only reason one would call this the Lower Heavenly Realm, because it is just a section of one of the seemingly infinite worlds within the lower realm!

The 'Lower Realm' is not partial to either 3 energies, it is just a realm full of worlds. That's not to say that these worlds are of equal size and strength.

Nevertheless, this lower realm is ample with broken and distraught worlds that have been cracked by a might you should never summon!

The elusive, unruly power of the second.

This is common knowledge to those high in power, and the summoning of second energy can cause catastrophic damage to the world's ecosystem.

This has never been an issue, though, as those can even approach such a level of summoning the second would have already left such a tiny world! It is akin to being a dragon in a pond if anyone were to do anything but that.

Yet, that doesn't mean someone who hasn't reached a comprehension to summon the second realm energy, can't! If you have a high enough bloodline or something that originates from a higher realm, then there are methods to forcefully bring destruction if you so desire!

Bloodline is extraordinary and confusing, and the more noble or powerful it is, the more powerful an exchange will be. You cannot burn your bloodline, but you can burn your soul to force your bloodline to stimulate more of its potential.

Thus, it depends on your bloodline on how powerful such an attempt to summon second energy would be. And, well, the chasm in the sky originates from anything but an ordinary bloodline.

These methods normally involve the death of such madmen, but the threat alone allows these people to strike fear into the hearts of anyone they meet!

They are akin to ticking time bombs, and if anyone were to light the fuse, destruction beyond any imaginable scale is likely.

It also depends on the quantity of energy summoned to what destruction occurs, and although this chasm doesn't seem to be enough to destroy a considerable domain of the heavenly section, it will most definitely annihilate the entire sect and those near it!

Including his own!

"We must stop this, otherwise, if whoever is summoning such an amount has malicious intent, we're all going to die!!"

*CRACKLE*

Yes, the commander could no longer care about the thousands of years of planning going down the drain! It is irrelevant; as if everything is wiped off the plain of existence, then who gives a shit?!

"Mhm... I guess your invasion is a fortune vieled in misfortune..."

The High Elder's eyes shined brightly as he glanced at the commander. An enemy of an enemy is a friend, and this situation requires such an enemy!

"However, I should let you know that second realm Ancient Energy has already been summoned... It is but a grain, but this grain is a ghastly danger when we approach!"

His voice resounded in the ears of everyone, and as the commander heard this striking news, his complexing darkened.

"How on earth did your sect become a fighting ground between two monsters..."

But, with clenched palms on his trusted sword, he leapt towards the party of elders and joined them. The Elders, though, kept a safe distance between the commander as they couldn't just be friends after the mess he has caused.

With a glance at everyone on the ground, the High Elder spoke.

"Numbers are meaningless in a battle of this scale, so remain here and guard the broken region of our barrier to stop any who dare sneak into our sect!"

The High Elder seemed to be leaving his once scholar like disposition as a killing intent shrouded his voice. This killing intent struck fear into the very hearts of both armies, and they didn't dare reject the proposition.

*CA-TCHAAAAA!!*

An earth-shattering collection of whirling strikes of lighting once again boomed in the air. Whirpools of strange clouds formed, and as that chasm continued to grow and wriggle, the world reeled at an increasingly more terrifying pace.

*WANGGGG*

Then, beneath the gazes of everyone present, a spasm that thumped the very foundation of the earth's crust spread out like a tidal wave. Following this, a bright fruitful light spewed out of every inch of ground that could be considered earth.

"The Heavenly Array!"

The commander gasped and a faint hope got rekindled in his eyes. The Elders also breathed sighs of relief, though the High Elder didn't change expression.

However, contrary to the usual reaction the group was expecting, the array began to emit disastrous quantities of Heaven's Energy! This Energy travelled in streams, all rummaging toward the area around the chasm...

"Hm... The Realm Overseer seems to have got the news... Considering it seems to have been manually stimulated..."

*WHOOOOSH*

Not waiting anymore, the group of powerhouses transformed into a dazzling combination of white and orange, whizzing off and toward the soul-crushing chasm...

...

...

*Tick*

*...*

*Tick*

"Ah, what should I do! I need to find a bodyguard for my darling, yet every beast I find has a heart full of lust! I can't even choose a woman because of her request to have a man! Gah, she must've done this on purpose..!"

Inside a tranquil room where a single white embroidered mat shone, an old man with a beard that draped the ground grumbled. A strange clock floated behind him, ticking each second.

*...*

*Tick*

"It is a near impossible task to find someone with a heart and soul that caters to my needs, but I must! She cannot be endangered once I leave to the neighbouring world!"

His heart ached as he swished his hand and summoned a simple picture frame. The image it held was that of the old man and a young girl. The girl had bright eyes, white hair and wore luxurious clothing flamed in red.

The old man's troubled face lifted into a smile as he gazed at the picture, but this only caused that troubled expression to magnify afterwards.

"Although the Divine Sect told me that she would be protected no matter what, I don't care! Her safety must be of the utmost importance, so a bodyguard is the best option considering that I can't weaken myself to create life-saving treasures right now... But why a man?!"

He scratched his white beard filled with age, pondering.

"I have tried slaves, but their mindless nature really doesn't match with my adorable darling... Nobody here has the capabilities to create slaves with emotions whilst also being strong enough, goddamn this world! I can't even travel to the Ancient and Martial sections due to the other overseers!"

His face grew gloomier per second as every creature for miles felt their heart flutter.

"I don't have enough time to practice the art, so... So... Ah..!"

The old man's expression brightened as an idea struck him. He knelt down, then staring at the sky as if the room wasn't even there, he muttered.

"Oh dear Heavens that I have held to worship for all my life, please show me a way to find a bodyguard that I desire! Uh... He doesn't need any sort of redeeming feature, he can be ugly, I don't care! But... I want his heart to be empty, his soul free of emotions that are lustful, loving!"

His voice, tinged with a strange air, continued...

"He also needs to be powerful, so powerful that nobody in this heavenly section can face him! In fact, powerful enough to be capable of destroying it!!"

His voice soon boomed into the sky, filled with hope!

*...*

*Tick*

"Ah... I'm going senile."

The old man paused as he rubbed his eyes and got up with slight embarrassment.

Yet...

*Whoosh*

"Hm?"

In a catastrophic wave, a faint aura of absolute strength wooshed past him. His eyes widened, and then in a strange excitement, he roared!

"Someone summoned second energy!! Hahaha! The Heavens do have eyes!"

He hopped off the mat and ran out into a beautiful courtyard. His hand pressed the air, where a faint stream of information entered his head.

"Oh..! Ancient and Martial Energy! Activate the Heavenly Array and hinder them!"

His voice commanded the faint connection he had, then leaping into the sky, an excited aura seethed out of him.

"Two..! Hahaha, I have two to choose between! Being the 'Realm' Overseer for the Heavenly Section of this world really does have its perks!"
