Chapter 203 - Divine Beast Projection

After returning to his original form, Sen took a breath of relief and had a look at his surroundings. He was standing on top of a gigantic Holy tree of the world. Before him was a valley with a rising sun's view. 

Sen got mesmerized by the scene before him and captured the view within his mind. After enjoying the miracle, he landed from the tree and walked on the ground.

One weird thing he was feeling at that time was the size of the grasses. Generally, grasses can be as small as an ant and as big as a human, but the grasses there were as big as trees.

Sen was literally flying in between them. After crossing a sea of grass, he finally reached somewhere where he could finally land and take some breath of a sigh.

In front of him was a big wall. Whose rain was as high as the sky. Sen tried to look up and had a look at its end, but he was unable t find the end.

While he was gasping in shock, suddenly the ground began to shake and tremble. Sen got cautious and floated in the air again to avoid falling down. Suddenly a screeching voice of someone came from somewhere, making the whole of nature tremble in fear.

Since Sen had no time to react, and he was unaware of his enemy's location, he covered himself in a layer of invisibility energy and kept on floating in one place.

After the shaking and the screeching of the ground stopped, he landed on the ground and undid his invisibility.

Since he was calm now, he found out the source of that screech and went to that place as soon as possible. In front of was a giant tiger and a giant human fighting with each other.

Rather than fighting, it was more like a one-sided fight. The tiger was even bigger than the giant and attacking him fiercely with his sharp claws.

The wooden shield was already in pieces and was about to crack up and break anytime. Sen thought he should interfere in it and fired a small fireball towards the tiger.

Boom!!

It created a big explosion on the tiger's body, leaving behind a black burned mark on its body. Even though it was a powerful attack, all it could do was leaving behind a black burnt mark.

Sen frowned on the abnormal toughness of the tiger and thought of increasing explosive power. But before he did, the tiger turned towards him and roared at him, while staring at his eyes directly.

Sen was like an ant before the tiger's size, even then the tiger was able to point out his location and roar at him.

Since the tiger was trying to intimidate him, he didn't back off and instead did something to intimidate him back.

He gathered the past memories of his four contracted beasts and try to project them behind him using the power of Illusion Derivative and Power of creation, inherited from his parents.

All of a sudden, air began to revolve around him and create a tornado around him. The wild tiger was planning to plunge towards Sen and gulp him down in one go, but after seeing the giant tornado materializing around the little human, he backed off and waited for it to calm down.

While he was waiting for it, suddenly a roar came from inside of the tornado. The tiger got startled and took another step back. His eyes were trembling and looking here and there in his eye sockets when another roar came from inside of the tornado.

Now not only the tiger was confused but also the giant who was protecting himself from the tiger was also confused about those sounds.

'How come a small human can make those noises?' thought the giant.

Abruptly the tornado dissipated, and the inside scene became clear to both the tiger and the giant. Before them was a small human. The same small human who was before them sometimes ago.

But this time he was not alone. The small human with a pink overcoat was standing on top of a purple-black long dragon. And the purple-black long dragon was coiling around a gigantic white tiger, even bigger than the tiger before Sen, with a majestic charm around it.

For the tiger that was intending to attack Sen earlier, the big white tiger was like a god for him. And the person standing above him was like his master.

At the thought of attacking someone, the tiger trembled in fear and fled from that place as soon as possible.

Sen was trying to project four of his contracted beasts from his previous world, but he was unable to do so, and instead projected two beasts, double their original size.

Slowly, the projections faded behind Sen as he landed on the ground again. Watching the small human standing on top of two divine looking beasts, the giant didn't know what to utter and what not to.

The first thing he did before Sen was to bow before him and greet him. Sen realized the giant was freaking out just by looking at him and hence decided to disappear from there.

After the giant raised his head, the little human was nowhere to be found. 

Meanwhile, Sen returned to the place where he was standing earlier, before the giant wall. 

While he was pondering about the wall, something began to well up in his stomach. Sen knew what was that feeling, but he didn't want to believe it was becoming that frequent.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Destiny, sometimes referred to as fate, is a predetermined course of events. It may be conceived as a predetermined future, whether in general or of an individual. But the bearer of this attribute can change the predetermined part and make it something that he/she wants.

Time is the indefinite continued progress of existence and events that occur in an apparently irreversible succession from the past, through the present, into the future.

It is a component quantity of various measurements used to sequence events, to compare the duration of events or the intervals between them, and to quantify rates of change of quantities in material reality or in the conscious experience. Time is often referred to as a fourth dimension, along with three spatial dimensions.

Time has long been an important subject of study in religion, philosophy, and science, but defining it in a manner applicable to all fields without circularity has consistently eluded scholars.

Nevertheless, diverse fields such as business, industry, sports, the sciences, and the performing arts all incorporate some notion of time into their respective measuring systems.

Time in physics is operationally defined as "what a clock reads". Time is one of the seven fundamental physical quantities.

Time is the never-ending continued progress of existence and events. It happens in an apparently irreversible way from the past, through the present to the future.

To measure time, we can use anything that repeats itself regularly. One example is the start of a new day (as Earth rotates on its axis). Two more are the phases of the moon (as it orbits the Earth), and the seasons of the year (as the Earth orbits the Sun).

Even in ancient times, people developed calendars to keep track of the number of days in a year. They also developed sundials that used the moving shadows cast by the sun through the day to measure times smaller than a day. Today, highly accurate clocks can measure time in less than a billionth of a second.

The operational definition of time does not address what the fundamental nature of it is. It does not address why events can happen forward and backwards in space, whereas events only happen in the forward progress of time. Investigations into the relationship between space and time led physicists to define the spacetime continuum.

General Relativity is the primary framework for understanding how spacetime works. Through advances in both theoretical and experimental investigations of space-time, it has been shown that time can be distorted and dilated, particularly at the edges of black holes.

Temporal measurement has occupied scientists and sages, and was a prime motivation in navigation and astronomy. Periodic events and periodic motion have long served as standards for units of time.

In the past Yin emperor and the Yang emperor thought that time was the same for everyone everywhere. This is the basis for timelines, where time is a parameter.

The modern understanding of time is based on the seven sages theory of relativity, in which rates of time run differently depending on relative motion, and space and time are merged into spacetime, where we live on a world line rather than a timeline. In this view time is a coordinate.

According to the prevailing cosmological model of the Big Bang theory, time itself began as part of the entire Universe about 13636364363634.87583483943404040 trillion years ago.

In order to measure time, one can record the number of occurrences (events) of some periodic phenomenon. The regular recurrences of the seasons, the motions of the sun, moon and stars were noted and tabulated for millennia, before the laws of physics and magic were formulated.

The sun was the arbiter of the flow of time, but time was known only to the hour for millennia, hence, the use of the gnomon was known across most of the world…..

The profound knowledge would have continued to leak out of him, but he stopped it somehow and closed the door of his soul sea. That also meant he cut off the continuous supply of sage energy throughout his body.
