Lord Shadow

He looks around and he saw rips of space in the distance not too far away from him.

With his Divine Sense he immediately found out that there are three thousand space rips in this Universe.

His nervousness is apparent

But that is not what makes him nervous. What makes Azief nervous right now is the fact the first thing he saw when he was teleported here is that stairs.

Floating in the epicenter of that universe, is thirteen step of stairs that seems to be made from stars and essence of planets.

But from afar it looks like an illusion. Sometimes Azief could even see another step of stairs interposed with the thirteen steps.

The stairway stands still in the epicenter of the Universe like it is being held in place by some heaven defying power.

It emanated an inviolable area and the steps look ancients and at each steps there is a statue.

‘Thirteen statue for thirteen steps.’ He said to himself. This is without doubt is the Supremacy Stairway.

He could not make out the detail of the state but looking from the distance he could make out their general look.

Each of the statue depicted a different person and their looks and appearance were all different.

The statues were all covered in star dust and yet even after all these eons, it still stands there without showing signs of rotting of crumbling.

On the other hand, the thirteen steps are replescendent with light and seems to contain all energies that could possibly exist in the whole Omniverse.

He looked below him and he see a brick layered road. It might look like a brick but Azief could sense the energy emanating from this road.

It seems each brick of the path he is standing on is made from some concept of Universal Laws. It startles him.

Who could meld and mend Laws like it is something solid and turn it into a brick? That is really extravagance

This is different than melding Laws into things or imbuing certain Laws on certain objects or being, this is the altering of Laws.

Azief could only sigh as he knows that he is still just insignificant figure in the Universe compared to those Supreme Being.

He is still too weak.

On Earth, humanity keep fighting among themselves when in the Universe they are so many powerful and terrifying being that humanity should instead be prepared and should spend their time strengthening themselves.

But Azief also knows that an existence akin of Supreme Being is hard to find and other than Azul and Alsurt and a few others in the Universe, Azief did not see much being with such power that could be described as towering above all firmaments.

He then looks in front of him and all he could see in front of him is the nothingness of space.

He could see space debris and floating stars and asteroid belts in the distance, slowly orbiting a small pulse of energy in the center.

Azief take a deep breath and as he was about to step out from the road, he knew that the moment he takes that step he would be on the thirteen steps.

That thought made him stop.

The moment he walked all thirteen steps he would become a Divine Comprehension levelers.

And he might even probably could fight in equal with Essence Creation expert with his Divine Comprehension abilities and power because of how he had progress in Perfection Path.

To break through to Divine Comprehension usually one had to crystalize the Disk they have into Laws.

Mostly people would focus on two or three energies that they have and with it they would crystallize the energy, refining it in oneself to make it become part of the Laws of the Universe.

At that time, their physiology would change as they would be based on energy.

When they die, if their attainment in their Laws is high, their bodies would disperse into essence of energy that would then fused with the Will of the Universe.

And anyone who have obtained the Laws could then theoretically charge right through to Essence Creation

Azief had made preparation for this day since a long time ago. He has even researched about Essence Creation a bit.

But now as he is at the edges of breaking through, if he said he is not afraid, that would be a lie. Because the path he is walking right now is not the same.

It is very different and no one could tell him whether it is the right way or not.

But he never thought whether he could walk this Path until the end or not. Because if he started thinking like that he might never have the courage to take even another step right now.

As he looks at that stairway in the distance and the three thousand rips around it, he is sure it would not be as easy as he thought it would be.

He took the step forward and then he arrived at the Thirty-Three Steps of Supremacy. This is the Path of Perfection for a Disk Formation cultivator.

The moment he arrived at the steps, he could hear the sound of a Bell ringing in the Universe like it was announcing something to the entire Universe.

The sound of the Bell sounded like it rings from afar, yet Azief could swear he felt like the Bell is beside his ears, ringing thirteen times

Right now, unknown to him, a golden protection barrier suddenly envelops the Universe he is in.

This kind of protection could not even be broken by a Grand Supremacy.

The protection is understandable when considering that most of the people that walk these stairs also become a Grand Supremacy or other Supreme Being in the Universe.

Azief did not rush to walk the steps.

Because he couldn’t. The moment his feet touches the first step of the stairway, he felt something is latching to him.

Instead of taking the next step he looks at the steps in front of him.

He had created Thirteen Disk and he have summons the Supremacy Stairway.

From afar, there is thirteen steps but as he is in front of the steps there is no longer thirteen steps but thirty-three steps.

And he no longer saw any statue.

It was like it was an illusion before.

He thought there would be others that will also walk the Stairway at the same time as him but from the few things Azul hinted at him, it seems that it is not easy to summon the Supremacy Stairway.

But is this really the true Supremacy Stairway? Then what is that Stairway, with thirteen steps and thirteen statues.

What did he saw before? Is that just an illusion?

Azief took a deep breath and then he laughs and in this emptiness of space his laugh echoes and reverberated creating resonance with the Laws of this Universe.

He closes his eyes, the way he always does when he wanted to muster his courage and then he opens it back.

In his eyes there is no longer any hesitation. He looks at the thirty-three steps in front of him that seems to be far and yet at the same time so near.

Azief then lifted his foot and took the second step. He felt something is taken away from him but it is only something small.

He did not know what it is but somehow Azief felt like the mortal part of him is being cleansed and purify.

To climb Ten Steps of the Supremacy Stairway symbolizes Mortal.
