Chapter 99 - CHAPTER 99 – THE DESOLATE GOD TEMPLE AND DESOLATE REGION HISTORY.

They then walked towards a huge cube-like structure at the center of the dome; with all the transcendent entities gone, only the cube-like structure stood within this vast space. The first elder and the other two elders walked towards the cube and touched it with their hands. The surface of the cube shimmered slightly, and an ancient, deep voice came from the cube, saying, "Come in, my children; I have been expecting you all." The three elders walked through the surface of the cube, which had become like a water curtain; Solanky and the others all walked into the cube at the same time. Inside the cube was a vast hall constructed from gold and other precious metals, with several stars suspended in the space above them serving as a source of light for the temple's space. The three elders all flew in different directions, which seemed to have seats or thrones. They then all sat at the same time and all placed their hands on their heads as if they were taking off something that was not there. Solanky became intrigued and activated his observational technique and saw that there were some halos that formed crowns on the heads of the three elders. Although these crowns were occasionally visible to other beings, they weren't revealed to weaker beings beneath the transcendent entity level. This was because any weaker being seeing these halos could have their wills or consciousnesses destroyed because the beauty and reverence could make the weaker beings see them as literal gods worthy of worship. In the beyond realm, half-step peak-turns with these kinds of halos were obligated to hide them at all times. The three elders all placed their halos on their laps and said in unison, "Greetings to the desolate god, his majesty, the creator of the desolate region and the cave world of desolation." The new members were all amazed to hear these three powerful beings praising the desolate god; they were all in anticipation of seeing the true form of the desolate god. Some of them had never seen a true peak-turn being before and yearned to feel the aura and might of such a being. The space trembled violently, and Solanky's group, in the direction where the three elders' bodies were gestured towards, saw a huge silhouette materialize from the empty space before them with a throne behind him. This being radiated an imposing aura, and he never restrained any of these energies or pressure; the pressure of this being made Solanky's group kneel involuntarily to him. This being stood at 50 trillion light-years tall, with his six arms looking like they could support the foundations of the beyond realm on their own. The desolate god looked exactly like the statue of the teleportation spot they emerged from. The desolate god sat on the throne behind him and withdrew his pressure, which had been exerted on them. Solanky, having met the forsaken god before, deduced that the desolate god was slightly stronger in terms of realm and cultivation as compared to the forsaken god. The new members of the desolate god region were known as seedlings; the desolate god, being the supreme being of this space, could instantly deduce and dissect them with a single glance. The desolate god looked at Solanky and the mysterious woman with keen interest and said, "These two must be the most powerful amongst them, I presume. Interesting, with one excelling in spiritual body and spiritual power, and the other excelling in physical combat power. The rest are also not bad at all; this batch of seedlings is of good quality compared to the previous batch." Still on their knees, Solanky and his batch remained quiet and respectful as A True Peak Turns; they could easily erase them from existence with ease, and the outside of the world would blame them for enraging such a powerful being. The desolate god flipped his hand, and a huge palm made from his spiritual energies rose from the ground where the seedlings were. The hand carried the seedlings, and it brought them closer to the desolate god himself. He said, "It is time to tell you something about the desolate god region. The seedlings of Solanky's batch all sat on the palm cross-legged to listen to the desolate god's story of the origins. A memory world formed around the desolate god and the seedlings to help them visualize everything that went on." Billions of samsaras ago, when I was still a transcendent entity, I was hunted down by two powerful half-step peak turns. I escape to the dangerous lands and regions of the beyond realm because I acquired a powerful true peak turns artifact, which aided in the comprehension of the peak turns technique and could also serve as a trump card to use against any being below the peak turns level. But these two half-step peak-turn beings had been monitoring my every move, and they noticed the artifact, which boosted my power to the half-step peak turns at the cost of my spiritual energies being drained. They had witnessed me killing a half-step peak-turn being with this artifact. While escaping from them, I carelessly stumbled into the battleground of two true peak-turn beings at the time, and I was seriously injured due to the energy ripples of their battles, but the two half-step peak-turn beings weren't as lucky as I was, as they were instantly destroyed by the shockwaves of the battle. I was saved by the artifact, which was a golden statue of a powerful true peak-turns being, who had reached the Eighth Peak Turn and was known to be very reclusive and powerful. After surviving the battle of the true peak-turns beings, I found that the golden statue had absorbed and purified the blood of the two battling true peak-turns beings, leaving behind vast energies I could absorb to break my physical and spiritual bodies' limits and become a half-step peak-turns being. For the first hundred years, I absorbed and refined the vast energies to make them my own, sealed the battleground to make it my own, and built the foundations of the desolate god region on it and let it sit without me interfering. As time went by, the battleground became a known place in their beyond realm to be able to withstand the clash of true peak-turn beings. Several peak-turn beings wanted to seize the battle and study it, but to no avail, as the golden statue I had with me repelled their energies and injured them whenever they tried to seize it by force. All the true peak-turn beings came to the agreement that it was impossible to seize such a wonderland, which could withstand their power, so they named it the desolate land. The desolate land was now where powerful armies of true peak turns clashed and collided to determine the fate of their worlds, although the desolate land was not a region inhabited by any being. Many powerful warriors of both parties fell, and their energies were absorbed by the land and refined by the golden statue, which I, in turn, absorbed to keep growing and advancing my power. The statue was the greatest blessing in disguise, as my power increased and I touched the true peak-turns realm. I realized the golden statue was an ultimate technique left behind by the Eight Peak-Turns being for me to comprehend and use. I started practicing the technique, and I was able to comprehend 80% of it, which instantly elevated my power to the second peak-turns level. At this point, I had to refine a new body that would help me in the future. Mimicking the appearance of a golden statue, I was able to construct this special body, which helped me withstand an all-out attack of third peak turns being head-on. After that confrontation, I took charge of the desolate land and disappeared with it for years. The desolate land, which had been a battleground, slowly fell into my possession and control. I studied the blood of the peak-turns beings, and I was able to understand their powers and origins with the help of the golden statue. I now began to hunt down any weaker peak turns being and sacrificed them to absorb later. By doing this, the powerful peak-turn beings tried to intervene, but with the help of the golden statue, they all backed down. That is why the desolate god region always looks like the ruins of a battlefield where absolute beings clashed." The seedlings were all amazed because they never knew such a knowledge-defying artifact even existed at that level; the desolate god laughed and told them to spread out their spiritual senses to scan the space. They all did, and what they saw shocked them the most, and it was the infamous golden statue they had seen in the memory space.
