Chapter 124 - The Seven Sages

As asked by his dad he removed the ring and threw it towards him. He caught the ring and showed Aryan four fingers, then three, then two, and at last showed him a grabbing motion.

Suddenly, Aryan felt a sharp pain in his head, not only that, but his body too became heavy all of a sudden. Tears and blood came out from his eyes, nose and ears. Aryan couldn't endure the pain and shouted out, "Aaahhhhhhhhh, gahhhhhhhhhhhh."

Seeing his son bleeding all over and shouting out in pain, Aditya wanna run near him and help, but he already had made up his mind and heart of not interfering in it.

Aryan continued his screeching and shouting for some time before he fainted from excessive blood, water, and chakra loss. Blood and water through his eyes, nose, and ears, and chakra through his forehead.

He didn't know, nor wanted to know at that time, but for some unknown reason, all the chakra in his body got mobilized and gushed out from his forehead, emptying down his vast soul sea completely.

After he fell down on the ground and closed his eyes, Aditya went near and snapped his fingers pointing towards Aryan. A virtual screen appeared above his body and came a sound from within, "Is he fine? What were his symptoms?! And symptom level?" asked the voice.

"Hmm…. Symptoms were normal, symptom level 1, he fainted from loss of blood, water and chakra."

"Good, I was expecting a level 2 symptoms, but it will be good for him if he managed to do it by staying within symptoms level 1."

"Yea," replied Aditya and disconnected the call. 

"Reeeee, my lil boy, sorry for giving you all this pain. Your pops will do anything to everything for your forgiveness, but for now, get over with it," whispered Aditya in his years and carried him over to his lab.

Aryan in his dreams~~~

"Ahhhh, my head, still hurting from that pressure." He looked around and found himself in a dark space, yet again. In his new life of seven years, almost every time he faints or becomes unconscious, he finds himself in a dark space. The same space where he had been stuck for two millennia.

But this time the space was something different. No planets, nor any celestial bodies were visible nearby. It was pitch dark all around, and he was floating in the middle.

He knew it well, that roaming here and there won't take him anywhere, so instead of doing his vain tries he closed his eyes and tried to make a connection with Yui (Unknown Voice Chan)

But no matter how many times he tried he was unable to do so. 

"Sigh…. Yui sama is offline, it seems. Well…. I will dig out something from the twin dragon grimoire," murmured Aryan and closed his eyes again to dive into his soul sea. But to his surprise, he couldn't even feel his soul sea, let alone opening the twin dragon grimoire inside it.

All the odds were against him now, he couldn't connect with Yui, he couldn't feel his soul sea, nor he could open his twin dragon grimoire, containing the profound knowledge of cultivation by the Sage of Harmony.

All these events were getting on his mind. He was reaching at a point of max frustration and ultimately despair. When all the other ways got blocked, he tried to move here and there in that dark space, but then again all in vain. 

His body was getting heavier, his mind was getting dense, his vision was getting blurry, he no longer remembered anything, all he remembered was his dark life in that dark space. While he was about to give up and close his eyes forever, Seven black orbs appeared over his head and started spinning above him.

Aryan looked at them with his blurry vision but didn't find anything special in them. He was about to close his eyes again, when one of the black orbs glowed and changed golden, with an unknown symbol on it. Aryan looked at it with eyes opened, but couldn't recognize that symbol.

While he was pondering over it, another orb glowed golden with another mysterious symbol on it. One after another, the rest of the five glowed and stopped revolving above him. Aryan no longer wanted to close his eyes now. 

The orbs and the symbol on it had somewhat piqued his interest, and he wanted to know more about them. He reached out his hand to touch one and got pulled by the force to stand straight from his lying down position. Aryan was completely awake then, the despair, frustration, and all the negative feelings from his mind had cleared up.

Suddenly, all the golden orbs joined together and went higher than their previous position. Aryan was contemplating whether to go after them or not when seven golden rays emerged from them and hit Aryan on his forehead.

Just for a second, a bright light engulfed the entire space, making everything visible. But at that moment Aryan was not in his right state to see or watch his surroundings.

Countless characters were floating around him, his twin dragon grimoire was emitting light, and Aryan was talking to the real Seven Sages souls inside him.

"Harmony,"

"Fate, "

"Time"

"Creation, "

"Spirit,"

"Dimensions"

"Heavens,"

"O' the chosen one

O' the 8th sage of this Universe, we the Seven sages of the past will bestow our power upon you."

Aryan "...."

"O' our estimations were wrong,

The dark is rising, and we have no time to spare. 

Once you inherit our powers, it will be your duty after that to maintain the peace of the universe."

Aryan "...."

"Don't worry lil one, Yui is just asleep, and your Twin Dragon Grimoire is changing its form to the Grimoire Of The 8th Sage. Once it's done, you will be able to access our million years old profound knowledge."

Hearing all these things, Aryan's mind was becoming blank. In the beginning, after he awakened his first cultivation star and inherited the power of Sage Of Harmony, he was of the idea that he would awaken his powers one by one, before the age of eighteen. To face the day, that was recorded in the records, to face the day that was spoken in the prophecies. But all the events before his eyes were crushing his idea of slowly awakening power.

"My knowledge of power awakening is completely shattered..." blurted out Aryan. Seeing the 8th sage freaking out from them and having a hard time digesting everything, one of the Seven Sages descended near him and touched his forehead with a wisp of her power.

The energy spread throughout his body, calming down his soul, and elevating the headache that he was having earlier. Aryan looked at the celestial being before her and got enchanted by her beauty.

"My dear little Aryan take care, your sister will always be waiting for you." said the beauty before him. Fair skin, silver eyes, blonde hairs, and a perfectly balanced body. 

Without knowing how what and why Aryan nodded his head and hugged the beauty before him. The moment he touched her, countless memories surfaced in his mind, giving him another wave of headaches.

The sage felt the pain he was feeling and caressed his head to alleviate his pain and sealed the part of his past memories. 

Once again, without knowing why Aryan started crying and called the sage his sister. The other six watching this from above descended down and hugged Aryan from all sides. Out of nowhere, Aryan felt a warmness in his heart that he had never felt before. Not even with his current parents.

After some minutes of get-together, another person came forward and touched Aryan's forehead. Simultaneously all the others too came forward and touched his forehead.

"Are we ready," asked one of the sages.

"Yes, we are." replied the others in unison.

"Hmmm…. Little boy, I know you have countless questions bubbling up in your mind and another wave of questions will strike you, once we leave this place."

Aryan "..."

"But worry not, you will find the answers and the keys eventually, and get out of here."

"Answers and get out of here….!!" exclaimed Aryan, he was opening his mouth again to ask something more, but before he did, all of them nodded their head to agree upon something and injected something into Aryan through his forehead and vanished.

"See you soon, lil boy," was the last thing he remembered after they left. He was in a daze and continued to be in a daze for some time before he came to his senses and found himself above a galaxy.

'The fck, how did I get here?!' was the first thing that came into his mind.

"Sigh….. What was that? Who are those people? Are they the real seven sages?!" 

As told by the person before, a gigantic wave of countless questions hit him, hard enough to make him go crazy from overthinking.
