Somewhere in the cosmos, between nebula and stars, front of the supernovas..... An unimaginably huge castle was enormously floating without any support or any presence.
Surface under the castle was entirely made out of crystal, every single brick of the castle is made by crystal and the entrance of the castle is sealed.
Suddenly a black cape ripple in the space and just at the next moment Xen arrived infront of the castle. His cape is drifting rapidly, his long hair is floating enormously along with his aura. Black aura was leaking out from his eyes and everywhere.
Xen slowly started to take steps forward, his each and every steps create unimaginably strong presence in the cosmos. Xen was vastly releasing his Aura without holding back. His clothes are drifting and his hair is rippling extremely fast. The amount of Aura which is coming out from his back, that's enough to cover the entire castle.
Eventually the entire shining blue crystal castle gets cover by the Xen's black Aura. Slowly two steps Comes out from the dense black Aura, Xen's presence has raised too much that the castle started feeling the peak level of pressure.
Slowly all the aura gets disappeared and revealed the very long figure of Xen standing just front of the castle gate. Xen slowly raised his arm and gently touched the gate,....
Just at the next moment those two gigantic doors gets opened and welcomes the 4th Emperor instead.
And the moment Xen's aura enter inside the castle and flow through the hall room entirely. All the blue flame burned on every pillars and the gigantic lantern top of the hall room started glowing.
Xen slowly take another step ahead and entered inside the room without fearing anything. His cape is normally drifting because of his movements, his hair is rippling little bit around his body and waving over his face.
His every footsteps create sharp noise inside the hall room. That silence is too much loud, his step sounds are releasing enough pressure to crush souls.
The more Xen is reaching closer to the throne position, the more his heart was beating faster. Some deep memories suddenly started raising out on his mind. But Xen keep walking.
Eventually after a while he reached closer to the throne. There's a crystal human like figure statue was sitting over the throne while facing forward, the figure was holding a sword by both hands.
Xen raised his hand as he slowly touched that crystal figure, his cold fingers gently touched the crystal statue sitting over the throne. Xen's expression was sad, while he was continuously looking down at the statue.
Then Xen slowly started to flow his Aura through the statue and the statue gradually turning into black colour. Xen's aura run through the statue so fast that it spread out inside the surface and walls of the hall room.
Slowly the entire castle started getting effected by Xen's aura, while it was eventually turning into black. Xen's Aura flow through the every single parts and bricks of the castle.
The crystal blue castle which was shining while floating in the cosmos. Right now it has gotten inhale by the darkness. The castle was releasing black aura and the presence was raising every moment.
Then the castle's bricks started melting like wax. And inside of the castle, Xen was still flowing his Aura through the statue and now it has covered all the parts. Xen can clearly feel everything through the castle as if it becomes part of him.
Then Xen smirked, "Let's see the changes."
Just at the next moment, Xen started absorbing his black aura. And while he was inhaling his aura again. The castle has started melting, crystal was melting.....
Slowly melting black crystal went inside Xen's arm and flow through his blood veins. Eventually it reached out his brain. Xen's eyes turned into complete black and now he can see though the crystal.
Xen can't move his body, but he can feel his entire body was reforming itself and which is reacting with the black crystal.
Xen feels like he is floating, he feels like his body is floating in deep space. Xen feels like the entire castle is now him.

Xen opened his eyes and his body was floating in the deep shape. His cape was slowly fading away and his clothes are started melting. Xen feels like he has entered in the consciousness of the crystal.
His eyes are blurred, deep black aura fog was covering his face. Now his all clothes has melted away. Only his black aura was rippling around himself and waving from over his white skin.
Suddenly two bright white arms wrapped around Xen's chest.... An unknown soul has hugged him from behind. Xen can't move his body. But he feels the soul too much familiar. Then the soul moved its arm and touched Xen's face is it slowly whispered,
"Huh, finally you are here. Please come to visit me when you will remove the border between life and death."
After saying those words, the soul started fading away. Xen tried so hard to move his body. And then he somehow reached the arm of the soul over his face. And the moment Xen touched it.....
.
.
.
Suddenly Xen opened his eyes and he moved his face around. He was now floating in the cosmos...
Then he found out the entire crystal castle has melted down in black liquid type substance. Xen can move his body now. Then he looked at his hand as he said, "So that was the last message you left for me... Thank you, I'll definitely come to visit you."
Beauty of endless space was visible infont of him. He can see through the endless cosmos. All the stars are shining. Xen was looking at the stars and he was trying to find a certain Star, while he was floating in the sea of stars.
Xen raised his hand and tried to found that one Star in the sky. The one he had saw only one time. And never saw again, "I'm trying to looking at that one Star, with endless beauty. But seems like that don't want to show itself to me."
Xen's cape and hair was floating enormously. Then he slowly raised his hand and the black crystal liquid moved to reach Xen's arm. Slowly Xen's index finger touched the black crystal liquid. And that's the moment when Lord of Darkness, the 4th Emperor get merged with the crystal.

Somewhere in the forest, memorising sound of flute has filled the entire forest. That sound has travelling everywhere in the forest. Under the night sky, someone has makes the atmosphere calmed and chill by just flute sound.
That's Soren, he is sitting over a tree branche while leaning. His long robe and white hair was falling down for the tree branch. His eyes are covered by the white fabric. His soft and long fingers are holding a long bamboo flute. He is so focused on playing it, his lips and perfect breath was flowing the air perfectly through the flute. Under the full moon, a bright white person was playing flute while sitting over the branch of a tree.
Fray was cultivating while sitting over the ground, just front of the tree. Some birds are sitting over his body. And just behind him, Elis was helping him to focus.
On their side, Zyon was standing and observing him. Then he turned his face and look at Soren. Zyon think about his powers, 'My body was recovering, Just by hearing the sound of his flute.'
Then suddenly a message window arrived infront of them.
