Supreme Origin: Time King

Chapter 281: XX The Price of Power (Finale)

With the world king's fall and the heart of the cosmic realm purified, all that was left was to hunt for the heretics and traitors, which somehow may have survived it, and when it's all finished, Elijah returned to the cosmic realm together with the abyss which become one with the cosmic realm. 

At the moment, 90% of every mortal in the universe died and those who survived were the former legendary figures of the celestial world. 

The origins bestowed to the divine and mortal forces all vanished into nothing, while Elijah himself was taking care of restructuring the universe. Some were unsatisfied with the new reform Elijah was going to implement in the structure of the cosmic realm, but who could refuse the man who could even create time? Especially now that all the forces has been unified with him.

First, he redesigned the entire three thousand origins a initial set of 30 sets that would slowly evolve into advanced and more powerful origins. Using the former Originating System, he would use the Origin Tower, which were already operating in every planet to divide their space in a twelve-layered spaces. 

In order to upgrade their origin, the Origin Cultivators would have to dive in the higher floors and accumulate Origin Essense Gathered from objects and beasts found on each floor

The Towers in every world would serve as a hub to connect the many spaces as one and make sure every planet and civilization would grow together. Of course, the competition would be insane having all the worlds connected leaving space for even other cosmic spaces entering the system.

As for those killed by the world king as well as those who lost their power, Elijah asked Yawen to summon all of them to the palace where they would choose what would happen.

And just like that, the legendary figures of every race entered the throne hall of the Void Palace one by one.

Elijah sat on the middle throne while Yawen, Chloe, Aina and Sarina sat on his right, left, and back. The World King and the other Royal families were watching it all from a higher platform.

Zeus, Athena, Aphrodite, Poseidon, the immortal Wukong and all those who interacted a bit with Elijah were pretty relaxed seeing his seat on the throne reserved for the King. Surrounding him was the legendary Eternal Time Clan, known for being the most mysterious force of all the clans in the abyss.

Seeing those people all looking up at him with expectation in their eyes, Elijah didn't know what to say. In the end, he just gave a deep breath and announced. 

"It's good that the hidden threat that has been hanging over our heads for so long has been finally removed. And they're still many changes that are going to happen from now on."

"You majesty sure is a talented hero. In shot few decades, he did what no-one could do for eons of existence. Back then many of us knew none of our lives were guaranteed the moment were lost the power of laws. Now, we then discovered this same young man has hidden himself in the darkness for ages, waiting for the right time to strike, truly amazing. I would never have guessed it was you when we first met in Valhalla Academy." Athena was the first to raise her voice, and she could not help but flatter him. She truly couldn't believe that boy she was sent to observe, and the proud and inexpressive Patriarch of the Time clan was the same person. Even for somebody who was acknowledged in many worlds as the goddess of wisdom, she cursed herself for stupid when compared to the amazingly complex plan Elijah did throughout countless eras and civilizations.

"Very well." Elijah touched his cheek, "Because the laws of this world were lost, I plan reincarnating everyone back in the mortal world. Each world will have an origin tower, a place where you can hunt beasts that carries Origins in their hearts. Of course, other than origins, I will leave some heritage in each floor. I can't return your powers to you because that would leave a breach of the world king to return, but to repay for your services, all of you will be given a Great Origin and become the first floor administrator. I want you to choose new talents to raise in the tower..."

Seeing Elijah stopping so abruptly, everyone in the throne hall was a bit anxious."Your Majesty, Elijah. Please speak, we're waiting for your words."

"Well, we need to have as many talents as we can because there is something much, much worse out there. This threat carries a power capable of scarring even my supreme origin, when it comes here, the consequences may be much worse than with the World King. At least this was what my eye of time could see. If one day I return, I wish to be able to see a brilliant Supreme Origin Cosmic Realm."

........

A few centuries after the World King's last appearance, a huge and magnificent city was erected within the boundary of the Eye of Heaven.

After Elijah brought back the mortals to the material dimension, a massive city was built within the center of the cosmic realm as a center of command and administration of the Supreme Origin System. The past royal families of the abyss which helped in the construction of the city and contribute to their own resources, while the Void King and the Enforcers of time as well as everyone else used to call it the City of Origins.

And the Origin System provided by Elijah soon proved to be a great success. The mortals who wished to cultivate had to kill an origin beast with an origin within it in order to start cultivating and only the origin of a beast you killed yourself could be absorbed(If you didn't die in the process).

With these first two rules, the number of people who would enter the path of cultivation would mostly be those really worth of cultivation instead of those fat and rich pigs accumulating money and power by corruption without the rights to do it. 

In the former 31-A, the planet where Elijah was born, many young men and women competed for the rights to enter the Origin Tower and enter the same path as the Supreme King, but this is a story for another time.

At another point in time, a boy was running in the streets with seven guards behind him.

"Young master comes back! You are already six years old and is the time to be chosen by a God. Look, miss Chloe, your cousin is already there waiting for you, so why don't you calm down and walk with us back to the temple's initiation room."

"No! I don't want to. You will never catch me."said the boy before he speed up and mislead the guards. 

The boy speed up and sneaked in the forest running without stop until he hit something.

"Ouch!" Knowing he must have crashed on somebody, Elijah quickly got up in order to apologize, but was surprised about what he saw.

A masked-man was standing next to him. Staring at Elijah with a strange look in his eyes, the man murmured a few words."Hehe, so this was what he felt back then..."

Elijah could swear he heard something, but he didn't know what it was. He was about to ask when the man before him turned into a mass of resplendent light which devoured his body as a golden gate covered in runes buried in his body leaving the six-year old boy unconscious next to a tree.

As for the man, he left as soon as he arrived leaving no traces.
