My Space-Time System



When Cassius first came to Infinite realm, he was even more confused than Blake. However, unlike Blake, he had no Prince Bryon to guide him on what to do.

The only good news was that Infinite Realm was at its peak at that time. Not only were Magic schools available in every city, but cultivation resources were easier to get, thus making it easier to advance.

Long story short, after a century of hard work and dedication, Cassius finally became the human deity of darkness. This increased his connection with the Mother-stream which revealed to him a vision of his purpose in the realm.

"Outside our universe lives a race known as the Neons. They are a warmongering race that invades other universes with the aim of draining the Mother-stream dry and moving on to the next universe."

"The problem with this is that there is a barrier that protects every universe from outside interference. The only way to take down this barrier is from within, and the only person that can do that is the person with the most connection with Mother-stream."

Hearing an even more shocking revelation and realizing that this would take longer than he expected, Blake froze the space in the shape of a chair and sat down.

"Normally this shouldn't be a problem since no external forces can influence those inside, but the Neons have a way around it. Mother-streams are extremely hostile to external life forms however the Neons somehow have a way of tricking them into accepting a non-living object in the form of an energy source." 

Blake's eyes widened in shock as he remembered the vision shown to him by the All-Father's Inheritance. "Thranium Crystals!"

Cassius was surprised and at the same time glad that Blake knew this, nonetheless, he continued with his story. "Yes, the Thranium Crystals are the primary method of conquest."

"Thranium crystals are the highest level of energy source because they were made with the soul of a Mother-stream. They were engineered by Neons with the capability to grow at a faster rate than normal energy crystals and could leave well-hidden mental imprints on both living things and non-living things."

Blake felt a sense of fulfilment as he finally received an answer to a question that had plagued him for so long. "The beast tide!"

Cassius chuckled as he was impressed. "Seems you have done some research, but I truly wish that the beast tide was the only thing the Thranium crystals caused."

"When the Thranium Crystals crashed into Infinite realm, it was used so much that the realm could do nothing without the pink crystals. Not only was it used for cultivation, but it was used in the construction of infrastructure and war weapons."

At this point, Cassius was seething with anger as he spoke. "Using the mental imprint the Thranium Crystals left on the user, the Neons began slowly influencing Valerius' thoughts. They took advantage of his power-hungry nature to betray the realm by opening the barrier, with the promise of giving him more power."

"It was around then that I advanced and got the vision of my goal, but it was late." Cassius had to pause for a moment to control his emotions before continuing. "I informed the other races of what was going on, and by the time we found him, the barrier had already opened and the invasion had begun."

The other races had readied their forces to combat the invaders but the moment the invasion started all weapons and machines powered by the Thranium crystals stopped functioning. This unexpected turn of events caught Infinite Realm off guard, instantly putting us on the losing side of the war.

"Luckily, I killed Valerius with the help of the Mother-stream just in time to close the barrier stopping them from pouring in, thus ending the war. However, Valerius had somehow managed to send his soul out of his body before he died."

Sadness filled Cassius' heart as he continued the story. "The battle had seriously damaged my body and greatly weakened me. As for the realm, although the war didn't last long the damage had been dealt."

Infinite realm's technological advancement had basically gone back to square one, and a great number of top experts were lost in the battle, thus reducing the overall strength of the realm. The decline of Infinite realm had just begun.

"No one was happy or in support of what Valerius had done. The other races wanted to wipe out the human race but Azkelwart suggested that instead of further weakening the realm, the human race should be punished for the sins of their kin by banishment to another dimension." Cassius explained.

Blake was so shocked that he had to ask to confirm. "Are you saying the other races were not wiped out?"

Cassius chuckled at the lie that had been told to humans for generations before replying. "Still alive and kicking."

"What stops us from leaving the realm?" Blake couldn't help but ask.

Cassius said a few words that left Blake stunned for a while. "The gate to the main realm is at the Southern continent."

After giving some time to process the news, Cassius continued. "Apart from the beasts there, not only does the mysterious nature of the area make it difficult for anyone below the Deity realm to survive, but the gate requires a key to activate."

"Activating the gate can release everyone from the realm altogether. Azkelwart is the only one that can leave any time he wants as the current representative of the human race." Cassius said but that raised a question.

"You are the strongest in the realm, so why haven't you opened the gate?" Blake couldn't help but ask.

"The gate requires a key unknown to even me. Also, even if I had the key I wouldn't open it yet because the human race is not yet ready to return to the main realm." Cassius explained.

Seeing Blake had no other questions, Cassius returned to the story. "Now to explain how all these relate to you."
