Established Pinnacle: The Enigma
Chapter 334 Cheryl’s Chronicles - The Heavenly Dao Realm IIBut even that, seemed so small and less comparable to the "love back" of a certain young lady. And now that he thought about it, she might have been a Goddess all along.
Her beauty, her bearing, her actions, the things she's done all this time, and her mysterious past, all of that just added to her being unfathomable and transcendental.
What did he amount to?
"The truth, Albert. Nothing but the honest truth." He responded as such, melancholic and sad, not representing a God who had the power to stand above everyone within Reality.
"The truth, you say..." Albert saw the expression of the 3rd Prince, and could not help but smile. The lad was growing up, "My thoughts, my honest thoughts on this matter..."
"Yes...?"
"Well, I love you so much my lord, so much that, I cannot answer you directly. But allow me to show you." Albert sighed as he drunk from his own cup as well, meanwhile spreading out his Will to cover the whole Realm.
The third Prince followed after, as he also spread out his own Will as well. And they stood above all Myriad towns that had tens of thousands of residents within. The Wills of two Gods watching over the whole Realm.
"Look, my lord. These are the people that merely serve under her grace. People that are not even entitled to fight in the army, or join any battles. Commoners, if I had to say." Albert's voice followed his Will as he spoke, showing the Will of the third Prince the people that were considered commoners within this whole Realm.
"...."
The third Prince did not say anything, but Albert did. He had more to say, "Each one is a letting our pressure and bearing of Deities, and not just Deities, but Deity Lords."
"Even the children, are merely born as Half-Deities. And those are just the ordinary ones, the more talented ones, being even more monstrous in nature and bearing."
"...."

"Soldiers that fight for their Emperor. Look at them, each one, even the weakest is a Deity King, or a being of similar power levels, while the stronger ones are even Deity Emperors and Ancient Deities."
"There are even auras of six young fellows, who probably have not lived past their century, and yet they can match up to even your own aura my lord... Six of them." Albert concluded as their Wills moved towards the six peaks, each having a different structure, like a world of their own, separated from the Realm itself.
In fact, each Peak was like a Lower Realm now, especially as the whole Realm itself was similar to a Greater Realm. Just that alone, was another point to compare.
The first peak was like Heaven, with golden Auspicious Clouds floating above it, Imperial castles and Fairies of all beauty singing day in, day out. Everything was neat and proper, as well as Divine.
The second peak was like an empty war zone, with no blade of grass being seen anywhere. There were stone houses, built uniquely in domes and cuboids, and multiple statures of half naked beings, in battle postures.
The third peak was like a forest, that had gigantic trees, beautiful waterfalls, long and wide verdant plains, and many more. There were also beasts of all kinds, enjoying life to themselves, at every single corner.
The forth peak was the most plain, as it was just an ordinary human world. Yet differently from those below. These humans combined the tradition of this place, with technology, as flying mechs and warships could be seen in production.
The fifth peak was a dark place, completely dark and barren, despite it being day throughout the whole realm. And nothing could be seen within the Realm itself. But as Higher Existences, the two could see a few ghosts floating throughout the place living their lives.
And finally, the last peak. This place was completely different from the first peak, being like Hell. There were red stoned mountains, Lava rivers, chained gigantic beasts, and beings clothed in black formal gear, treating this place like a park. Such beings also head Illusory horns on their heads.
These were the Six Peaks of this Realm, the Six Realms of Samsara. And each had beings, the weakest being a Deity King equivalent, the strongest being a God-level Cultivator as the Peak master.
The Will of the third prince was shocked. Though he originated from an Empire where the number of Deities exceeded the hundreds of millions, most were low leveled ones. And not even one percent were Deity Kings and above.
That was still higher than the numbers here, but perhaps... 'That was only because they have a smaller population to begin with. And regardless, they achieved all this power within a century..? That alone, is more than enough to get even my father, the Great Red Emperor on his knees.' He thought in astonishment.
"...."
"...And then, here comes the question. Do you think, there could be anyone in this world worthy of the hand of such a being? A creator of Realms. A God Maker. A changer of Fates." Albert decided to end it there, as anymore, could demotivate the Prince.
"Then I guess I still have to work harder." Unfortunately, the prince had gone too far to give up now, he had already stressed himself for a century, why stop now?
As for his worth? He'll make plans. The Gods out there stronger than him? He just had to surpass them, isn't that right? He was but a little over a century years old yet he was a God.
"...That's the spirit my lord, there is nothing that you cannot obtain, with enough hard work and effort." Albert nodded, as their Wills returned back to their bodies.
The pride he currently felt right now...
It was inexplicable.
"Good day sirs, what may I get for you today?" But suddenly, at that moment, when their conversation had reached its highest peak, a delicate voice called out from before them, behind the bar table.
Both Gods turned to look at the front in shock, as they both failed to detect her presence. And there, they saw the most beautiful being they had ever laid their eyes upon, as she cleaned an empty cup with a cloth.
She had long black hair tied into a neat bun above her head, a pair of emerald eyes, and a curvaceous figure, that was barely hidden by her maid outfit. And a light smile on her face as a cherry on top.
"Ah... Ah, my apologies. No, not yet. Thank you." The third Prince, who was slightly dumbstruck by the beauty, lightly shook his head as he responded. He thought Cheryl was the only beauty around here, but it seems he was wrong.
Yet he still knew whom he desired.
"Yes, thank you for the service." Albert also added with a casual smile. They could not feel the power of the the young lady standing before them, thus they had to be respectful.
Plus, this was not their home turf.
"Oh? What a pity, then. In that case, my lady would like to meet you gentlemen. That would be alright with you, would it not?" The beauty, Tiara, inquired, still with her beautiful and gentle smile.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe was of course not a God, nor was she a being stronger than them. She was still just a Demigod equivalent Cultivator, an Pseudo-Sage in simple terms.
And likewise, though there were a few God-level beings within the six peaks, non were God equivalents. It was only their auras that rivaled those of Gods. Six of them, whom were the peak master's, her included, disciples.
Nobody had yet to find a way to breakthrough, and become a God, for the Great Daos of this Realm had not been formed yet. That was something Cheryl was trying to change as we speak.
But with the Realm itself evolving, there were many Great Daos swimming within the air. Thus now, those capable, were searching for Daos they could resonate with, and were attempting to practice them.
And one had to know, practicing Daos was harder than just cultivating Laws, even though Laws were kind of Unique as well, and more powerful. Cultivators just had tougher times growing stronger.
As for herself, Tiara was not in a hurry. None of her fellow sect sisters were back, thus there was nobody to race with her. Her disciple was also lacking. So she had enough time to play around before being serious.
"Uhm, if I may ask, who is the young lady serving us? And the lady in need of our presence." The third Prince inquired lightly, not too sure if he just forgot, or never met this extraordinary beauty before. Nor her mistress.
"My lady? She is the Goddess that created this whole World. Is she... not the reason you gentlemen have come here?" Tiara paused on her actions, as she stared at the third prince straight in his eyes and asked.
"Ah?"
And the Prince was quite shocked, yet happy to hear those words. He was shocked that Cheryl knew he was here, as well as the fact that she sought out to him first.
And he was also happy because she sought out to him first, thus not making it awkward for him. This was the type of person that he envisioned, when Albert spoke about her sometimes.
"Is that a, yes, gentlemen?" Tiara kept her manners and averted her gaze, then resumed her work, as she asked in between her cleaning of the table, and the rearranging of whines and more.
"Yes yes, she is. She is definitely the reason we have come here. Thank you. Now, may I please get to know your name?" The third Prince stood up as he held his hand towards her.
"...."
Tiara paused and stared at the hand for a few seconds, then outstretched her own small, fair hand, and held his. She then said, "A bit tyrannical, but I will give you a point for at least being a gentle tyrant. Tiara is my name."
"...???"
