The Gods' Decree 35 The birth of a City

The elder who had now come off his pedestal asked the youth before him became shrouded in enigma.

" Hehe.., all will be known in time. Seeing that you seemingly don't have that much I'll make it a few minutes"

The Mouse winked as he looked at the now lost elder before him.It goes as follows:

During the time of the great war there were dozen of mortal villages close to the Dark Abylis Sect. They had little interaction with these said villages and just as you stated, had seen them with much insignificance.

The young genious tried his utmost to solve the dilemma that had befolded him. Stumped for the answers he worked day and night.

One day a mortal servant had seen the young master in a state of exhaustion, as he wrote different equations on the walls to rectify the problems.

Seeing his master at work the servant stood to the side in wait for his master to finish his process.

As he observed he suddenly saw the young master in a state of hysteria as he had seemingly reach his wits end.

" What is the purpose of creating something that would only cause mutual destruction to both side?"

" Do we need to sacrifice so many when we have lost even more of our sect members in the previous battles?"

" Doesn't this mean I have failed in my duties?"

The young genious Chung Fu slumped on the floor as he saw his failures all over the wall.

Observing the equations on the wall the servant had a sudden thought but had feared speaking his thought aloud in fear that it would mean his demise.

He finally made up his mind and had a moment of courage.

" Young master this lowly servant would like to point out a seeming flaw within your analysis"

A sheepish voice was heard as the servant heart seemed to have been beating out his chest.

" Huh.., flaw? what flaw could your eyes discern that mine could not. Do you dare to make fun of me mortal?"

The young genious Chung Fu was about explode in fury when he heard the words.He already had felt lower that dirt and this servant dares to rub salt in his wounds.

" This lowly one does not dare master, I just realize you left out a human factor"

The mortal had shaked his head in fear and responded promptly to his master.

" The only human factors are us and our enemies. What else is there?"

The young genious became a bit intrigued as he listen to his servant.

" Yes master you have taken into consideration all the human factors regarding cultivation, but what about us mortals?"

An even more curious look became evident as the young genious Chung Fu listened.

" Why would we consider mortals?"

He replied promptly as he had the feeling that he was a the crisps of the breakthrough in this quandary.

" The devouring black dust you created though ingenious, it is a double edged sword when developed or used by a cultivator"

" You have been trying to rectify this problem by making it more suitable for use by cultivators. This you do through substitution of some of the main ingredients for the concoction.

" It has thus resulted in the failure of the product to live up to its full potential"

" Since cultivators cannot be involved in most of the production process as well as the battle .This as you wrote is due to their world qi being basically fuel to a flame"

" Though word qi is all around us the Devouring Black Dust cannot refine it on its own. Thus the refined version that cultivator absorb is free for the taking"

" If so be the case the best solution would be us mortals as we have no world qi reserve. We are of some use after all master"

The young genious had a look of awe as he looked at his servant. This was the missing piece that he had search for. So simple, yet so very illusive.

He knew this fellow always seemed to find his experiments intriguing but he never knew he was actually so well versed in them.

" Su Chen, thank you for your advise"

The young genious Chung Fu humbly thanked his servant Su Chen first time since he became master.

" Master there is no need for such this"

Su Chen was so shocked but made sure to hurry to his master side as he saw him bowing.

" From now on you will be my consult on various experiments. I've been looking for someone"

Being so elated Su Chen forgot to breathe for a moment before nearly passing it.

" Who would have dreamt that the heavens could bestow such blessing on him"

...

The young genious then had a meeting with the sect head and council where they discuss his daring plan. It was met with objection at first but as the plans were detailed it was approved.

The mortals from the various villages were then paid in gold to work in factories that were build in quick time by the cultivators. Their role was the production of the devouring black dust.

Others were trained in different battle formation and tactic by the generals of the sect.

The final battle finally took place month later and to the surprise of the Night Lit Moon Sect, they were no longer opposed by the army of the Dark Abylis Sect but mere mortals.

They had laughed and ridiculed just as you have only to meet their ultimate.demise that the hand of mere mortals.

The swarm of Mortals had unleashed the devouring Black dust.Just like the sea recovering it's lost land, the cries and screams were heard as the Night Lit Moon Sect members were flooded over.

The dust became a blob that swell iin size the more world qi it absorb. While inside the enemy became zapped over any energy and thought to fight back.

Their agonizing seized when the kill words that was placed on the dust were uttered by Su Chen"Ora stammi in cammino ed esploda"

The words were installed as a means to prevent The Devouring Black Dust from continue it destructive path.

....

A city was then built for us mortals from the near by dozens of villages after the overwhelming triumph that was delivered.

A governor was chosen and it was none other than Su Chen. However, his name was requested to be changed to Marvel Chen by his master.

Marvel was chosen due to one thought by the young master Chung Fu. It was to show that even the ones that are seen as insignificant may amount to Marvelous achievements.

Thus Marvel City was born and built around those said factories before. The cultivators had agreed that the city was under their protection and would have certain benefits.

One of those said benefits was every 5th year they would recruit members with potential to the Dark Abylis Sect.
