Chapter 58 Chapter: 013 The Gods Deception Part I

After a few moments of confusion, Elijah looked around and said in a low voice so that only the two of them could hear: "Ava, can go look for Zaid and ask him to gather information about this woman? i want to know her name, cultivation and background, okay? and thanks for helping me tooking the photos."

"don't worry, even if i do not know why you want to know about this woman, it must be something important so i'm going to look for Zaid and ask him to do this." Ava turned arroud and walked to the direction of the Arena.

Then while Elijah watched Ava walking away, he heard a familar voice calling to him: "Kid, i need you to come here, it's about the change whitin you and you cultivation path."

"Master? Okay then, just wait for me to go somewhere where no one can see me." Elijah walked quickly to the corner of the street before a grey light shine on the darkness and he disappear from there.

...

Apearing on the Dark World, Elijah looked around and saw a trail that led him to the most beautiful garden he had ever seen even if he had not seen many gardens this one was a spectacle: It was divided in 7 different areas, with the North being full of herbs and plants of blue color, the South with herbs of the red color, the West with the brown color and East being of the green color, the Center was of a metalic golden color and the two another areas was a bit more far and were of the colors black and white, representing seven diferent elements.

On the back of the garden, there was a small hut, like the place that was another dimension there was no night or day and the light was emitted from several orbs scattered throughout the Dark World.

At the side of the hut a small passage opened that connected a cave that on either side had crystalline rocks carved in the form of statues of creatures and objects he had never seen before.\

Elijah continued to walk and stopped when he saw the female figure kneeling on the floor while inscribing a strange formation organized on the same way as the garden above. Feeling the presence of Elijah, Shadow turned and said: "So you're finally here, good, then sit on the middle of the formation before i begin the test."

Elijah can not understand what Shadow meant by test, but even so he sat in training and waited for Shadow to give him the instructions of what to do.

But before shadow could say anything, Elijah could see infinity specks of light of so many colors he could not even count: Red, Orange ,Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Purple, Gray, Brown, Golden, Silver, Black and White were the colors Elijah could reconize from those lights, then the four fairies apreared above his head while all the inscription on the ground were emitting a dazzling light.

Shadow was watching everything without much surprise in her eyes like she already knew this would happen, but observing Elijah from close, her from several small changes in her eyes it seemed she had reached a certain decision as she griped his fist.

Then after waiting for several days, Elijah finaly wake up from the trance. And looking at his master with confusion on his eyes while Shadow opened he mouth and spoke: "It seems you are really what i thought so i can't keep hiding the truth from you so i will tell you the Truth, i just expect you don't enter in panic with what i will say." Without waiting for Elijah to say something she continued: "What you experienced just now was the mystic formation my race uses to detect the talent of our members and from what happened just now, not only you are part of my race as your talent is one of the best but first i will explain what my race is Eternal Element Race, my people are considered one of the top 3 races of the abyss, the divided Eternal Element Race into 8 main Branches: The Eternal Void, The Eternal Ember, The Eternal Blood, The Eternal Frost, The Eternal Cicle, The Eternal Tempest, The Eternal Abyss and the Eternal Time. Diferent from the humans who were deceived by the Gods saying there is three diferent paths and the only thing you needed to cultivate is energy was part of the plan of the Gods to prevent the birth of other gods."

"Wait! Master, you are saying all this time we were being deceived by the Gods and the three main paths were wrong? And i thought the beings from the abyss were all evil people." Elijah jumped with this tought but looking back, he had the thought about some things from his dream like he didn't have any cultivation but still he could use the power of lightning to kill the members of the Cosmos Organization and they also didn't seem to be cultivating any of the Three Paths.

"Yes, all this time there were using you, and even the water on every planet is infected with something to supress the Mortal's Power, but you don't need to suspect your little girlfriend as she is just a minor god, she really does not know anything about what the Gods were doing with the Mortals."

" As for the things you call Mortal, Spiritual and Divine Paths were nothing more than the same thing, the only change is that the first cultivate the body, the second is the Soul and the third is the Energy but in the end they were not even close to the true cultivation as cultivating only one of those aspects will only lead you to the peak of the 9 Realm but nearly no one is able to reach the peak, the only thing close to the true cultivation are the specters, but diferent from you, my race cultivate The Great Path of the Thirteen Steps where other than cultivating the Body, Soul and Energy, we focus on the insigths gain from the Elements to increase our control and power over the Elements to achieve a even higher power."
