Wudang: Legends Of Qi Earth - Chapter 199 Secrets Of The Universe
“I mean I know this airship was supposed to be extremely powerful, but considering those things were able to keep up with us, at such a high speed, don’t you think they should have been like a little more……I don’t know; sturdy?” Khan said as we watched what remained if the golems rain onto the earth below.
“Nothing is perfect little brother, you should know that by now.” Devonte said as he spoke to Khan. He turned the Airship around and blasted forwards as Khan yelled at him.
“I’m not your little brother! I was his spirit first! That makes me older and you a kiddie! Tell him master!” Khan turned to Alex with a very poor attempt at looking cute and trying to get Alex on his side.
“Ignore him master the child probably needs to take a nap. Anyways we’ve successfully escaped, do we head back to academy now, or is there somewhere else we need to be?” Devonte asked as they sliced through air currents and clouds like knife through butter. Alex looked on she’d, seemingly at peace within the clouds as he moved his aching wings a bit.
“no, we have one last stop to make before we head back to Academy. We shouldn’t meet too much resistance there we’re only going after a hidden or somewhat lost tomb.” Alex said as he tried to seat up, but had to take help from Louis who was still covered in blood.
“And where would that be master?” Devonte asked with a smile as he turned to face the ocean of clouds in front of him. Alex took a deep breath before he answered, this was the second clue his father had left behind for him that had at least a 75% chance of being authentic and not just some baseless rumors.
“Ireland, we’re going to the duchy of Ireland!”

Alex found himself back in the mantle, Khan and Devonte were with him this time. The tree that seemed to serve as a focal point that connected all of his masks, was still standing and it was still growing. A little to the side was the five Vein Element Treasure, Alex had not found a use for it yet, but he would be getting to it soon enough, especially as time drew close for him to reforge west Wind and East cloud. But right now, the only thing that had brought him here was answers, it was about time he knew just what kind of world he lived in, and what he had to deal with.
“Since you’re here, I will not waste your time. It would be better if the angel explained stuff to you rather than me, because he’s been alive longer than I have, right from the dawn of time if I do say so myself.” Nezha spoke up, but was interrupted by a mocking snort from the ever isolated Xeron. The black Ash salamander really was too cool a guy to participate in anything, Alex found it adorable.
Within the mantle none of the weaknesses he felt in his body showed up, maybe it was because it wasn’t his body that was here, but rather his spirit, or to be more precise his anima. The true sum of his consciousness and the amalgamation of his mind, body and soul. Spirits and all of their crap was Complicated, hopefully after today a while lot of things will get uncomplicated.
“In the beginning god made the heaven and the earth…. That’s how the story goes young king, but many religions have a different take and the father had had many names. Some call him Allah, other’s Pangu, some say he is RA, some believe to be Olodumare. Regardless of who they say he is, or what names they’ve given him, he has remained who he is.
This universe was born a very long time ago, until the first planet was born. This was earth, the prized jewel, all of his godly power and divinity went into creating this masterpiece of life, and in turn it could also give birth to beings of the divine, the gods! But then he made more and more worlds, and many more after that. And he got better every time, some worlds had magic, others had cultivation, very few had Spirit and have since been wiped out. Contrary to what you’ve been told, your colonizers are not from a different plane of existence.
They’re from other planets deep into the universe, all the way to the edges where energy of all sorts energy is abundant and flows inwards. It flows to earth, and becomes spirit that is in turn sent out into the universe to become Qi and Mana. The universe is like a heart or a lung, taking in energy from the void and cosmos and refining it so that it denizens will grow stronger.
But even for all the power they have, they were not gods. Which is why they came for earth and for the garden of Eden. And it was my brother Lucifer that led many of them here in his rebellion against the father. The gods at the time mostly lived their legends, they had their own story to tell, their own Pantheons to build. Disjointed and without unity, the hosts of heavens were left to right the first divine war. We won and my brother Lucifer was locked in the nine circles of hell where he remains to this day.
As for the helpers he brought, many died, but many more escaped. Taking their time and plotting, scheming until when they were ready to come back and take the garden for themselves. For seeing such a disaster, the father created the first Spirit King, the first man known as Adam. And his first wife the demoness known as Lilith! Who after a falling out over her submission to her husband was cast to hell where she became the wife of Satan the Devil, who was formerly my brother Lucifer Morningstar.
She whispered much of the weakness and frailty of man, of how gullible and seemingly content they were. And so sending his essence into the earth, he corrupted the minds of Eve and Adam and caused them to disobey the orders of the father. Yes the father was angry, and pushing them out of Eden might seem too much, but the foresight of the father is not one you can compare to. Because it was in that moment he realized he was not alone, this universe was not alone.
He was the almighty, but there were many more like him, having universes of their own and seeking to grow by conquering others. Nature, fate, Destiny, and the father himself came together along with the collective powers of the other high gods to create a world. It stood in-between all of the universes, a nexus point of power, and the place where champions from each universe would build, grow, conquer, fight and kill for the right to make their universe Supreme and safe from the invasion of others.
There have been many spirit Kings before you, after Adam there was Methuselah, Noah, King David, Samson, Siegfried, King Arthur, Ragnar Lothbrok, Achilles, Krishna, This idiot fire God Nezha, Hanuman, Cleopatra, the moon goddess Selene, the wife of the storm God Susanoo Kushinada. Joan d arc, the thunder god and your ancestor Sango! And so many who’s names have been forgotten to history. They have fought, and while they’ve not be able to claim total victory, they’ve always been able to keep the earth safe.
The garden of Eden has been hidden, only you have the power to find it, but it’s importance doesn’t scale but enough as the date of the entire universe now lies in your hands. You must get stronger quickly and crush the enemies you have, because three years hence the Spirit king war will start once again, and you and all that serve you would be taken to the In-Between, to the Nexus world where you would fight for the fate of all humanity and the trillions of other races attached to it.
So I advice you to take care of your issues, so you don’t get stuck fighting a war on two sides. But remember, hard as it may be, you have to remain true to yourself and let your heart remain balanced. Or you will fail, before you even get the chance to complete any of the tasks that would be given to you.
The remaining details, like the systems, and the dimensions and spirit races would be discussed when you’re ready and strong enough. This is enough for now, I implore you to study while you rest, knowledge is extremely valuable.” And then he went silent, leaving Alex with quite a lot to think about.
