1 Prologue

Seven eras have passed in the world of Rosch, The Desolate era, The Rebirth era, The Evolved era, The Transcendent era, The Heavenly era, The Tribulation era, and The Martial Peak era. Trillions of years in the past during the desolate era, humans where enslaved by vicious beasts.. Used as livestock, used for manual labor, building, and tormented daily to satisfy the desires of the beasts. During that time there was a man named Reincahrt, he lead a life like other humans and suffered immensely because of the beasts.. One day he secluded himself and started to ponder the heavens, the earth, and himself. Time passes, while the humans where suffering endless torment a beam of light shot from the earth and pierced the heavens, in that beam of light stood Reincarht.. In the current era what Reincahrt said that day echos throughout the world, "What is fate? Do the heavens decide if we are to suffer or prosper? Shall we live lives of suffering? Or…Shall we firmly place our feet down, and carve our own path? To seek the Dao? There are many Dao's, If you wish to control your fate, and wish to leave your mark on the world; to free yourselves from the beasts, follow me, and step into the Dao".

Current era, year 300.

On a dark and stormy night, in a small town called Riven only a manor was lit. From a distance you could hear panicked voices coming from the manor. With a crack of thunder the sound of a baby crying could be heard. Inside the manor, a group of maids surrounded a bundle of cloth, in that cloth was a newborn. One of the maids exclaimed with excitement, "Thank goodness he's alive!".

Another maid looked at the newborn with pity, "Who could leave such a cute, healthy boy in the woods?"

An older maid responded with a hint of killing intent in her eyes, "Those f*ckers, there are many women who can't have children; they'd gladly take in such a healthy child".

A younger looking maid with a worried expression looked at the newborn, "The master and his wife passed away, they had no children, so there's no heir.." The young maid sighed, "We can't possibly take care of him, with no heir, the other clans will raid the manor, and take all the assets". The older maid glanced at the younger maid, "That's not an issue, we have an heir right here" the old maid picked up the newborn, "Right Ren? Will you be our young master?". All the maids looked at the old maid with a worried, and panicked look on their faces, "Leah, you can't be thinking.. What I think you are thinking, right?".

Leah sighed, "You all know the master's wife died from a weak body, and she hardly left the premises". Leah cupped Ren's face with her hand and smiled, "Understand? From this day, as far as anyone is concerned, he is the heir to the Elsiv clan, Ren Elsiv". The maids all bowed to Leah and quickly left the room, "Ren, the clan has crumbled down to such a humble state, in the past we used to pump out one heaven practitioner after another... Those days where our glory days, now we only survive by selling beastskins, meat, and medicine, your our last hope".

Leah laid Ren back down after ensuring he fell asleep, turning around to glance back at Ren a light flashed in her eyes, "Ren, with me around you can grow up without concerns, grow strong, and revive our clan, your future... Is limitless" Closing the door and leaving, there was a hard to notice smile on her face, emitting a mysterious aura; as the door closed, a light aura appeared around Ren and faded slowly. In the quiet and dark room baby Ren's eyes snapped open, glittering dark eyes looking into the surroundings.

Ren's eyes closed and a faint voice like a light breeze went through the room, "Little one, last of my bloodline, I will be reborn through you".
