Re-Birth of a Genius. Creator/Destroyer

The next day, Sam spent all his time inside the second floor of the divine dimension. He recreated the Black Ghost disc. But the one he made is not just meant to look like the original. Rather it has a lot of additional things that Sam added. 

Completely new things, that could help but with attacking, defending, counter-attacking, and even escaping features that might help Markan and the Black Ghosts in the future.

At least now, the Black Ghost disc is not just a décor item.

After he gave that to Markan and explained everything, Markan also gave them the details of their departure. Since most of the team is acting as his crew, he made up some bullshit mission and is going to deploy them in that name while he picked a new crew from his faction.

Along with that, Sam also selected the Black Ghosts in the list and Markan stayed within the temple and ordered to have some privacy so that he could hear the god say his bullshit and shut down. No one would know anything about it and nor do they need to know about it.

Everything went smoothly.

The night before departure, they sat down together, to have one final drink since they wouldn't be able to see each other for a long time, as a parting gift, Markan looked through all the records and archives of the Black Ghosts and retrieved all the information related to the Five Great sects to him.

Sam was shocked to say the least when he looked through the information. Let us just say there is a lot of it and he was even more surprised by the large spectrum the information covers. They have the information regarding the present sexual affairs of the young masters to the sexual orientation of the old men who used to rule the sects three generations before.

Every detail that could help or to be known is there. The details about the internal feuds that are not normally known to outsiders, the details about the affairs between the wife of one elder and another elder, the secrets regarding the fetishes of a grand elder, most of the information is extremely personal.

But that is not all there is to it, there is also information regarding the personnel of the Five great sects.

They have the information on the power structure, the realms that are under the control of the Five great sects, the people assigned to be the administrators and the rulers of various places in these realms, the resource points, the spies that are planted by a rival organization, the spies planted by the Black Ghosts, the spies planted by a superior organization, the activities that are conducted by the sect which are known to the public, like the slave trade and the fighting arenas which actually turned out to be the inspiration for the previous leader to open these rackets.

Sam got a lot of information.

This saves them weeks of time if not months. Now they don't have to worry about sending shadow mice and surveillance puppets to infiltrate every single place and gather information on every plausible target that they could take advantage of.

Paras looked at the information eagerly and they understood why he is doing that. The Five Great sects are linked to the massacre of his home planet a few decades and from the looks of it, there is bound to be some kind of information about this incident in this archive.

But it would take some time to search through all of it, so Sam decided to make a copy with the help of the copier machine he created. He created copies of every documented information even copied the video information.

In the process, he found the information regard Paras' incident which he read and handed over to him.

There is not much detailed information, but there is enough to understand what has happened and who is involved.

A few decades ago, the Five Great sects conducted the tournament for the best of the best cultivators within the Astral Plane Pre-transcendent stage. 

Many organizations sent their best candidates to participate in the tournament. The organizations that Paras interrogated before are also part of that bunch.

After selecting the candidates of the four sub-stages in Astral Plane Pre-transcendence, they made teams so that the members of the five great sects and the selected candidates could group together on a mission.

But it turned out the Five Great sects are not the only ones who did this. There are some other organizations that have names that they don't even know about, are also involved and they brought the candidates they selected themselves to the five great sects. There are three other organizations that arrived and they brought three large groups.

For every group, there is a leader selected and that leader even though was a familiar face, behaved oddly in that period.

They were led to their assigned planets with the leaders and for some reason, a massacre was triggered in a few planets.

Nobody knows the exact reason why, but before it triggered, one of the Black Ghost members who is disguised as a normal team member doesn't know what exactly happened, but he mentioned that he saw some bigshot members that acted as leaders of the subgroups within this one large group, are pleading and begging the leader of the group as if he was their ancestor or even a god to control himself.

When he read through the information, Sam got a fair gist of the situation and even Paras understood that it is not just simply the doing of the Five great sects, but the people involved in his planet belonged to the Five great sects and the subordinates they brought from different realms with these tournaments.

Paras became angry at this, but he could only suppress and control his emotions.

Meanwhile, Sam is analyzing the situation. His focus is one particular section, in which it was mentioned that all the bigshots are begging the group leader as if he was their ancestor.

But Sam knew that there could be another case which he cannot confirm now.

After getting all the information copied, Sam and his team made their move.

They used the dimensional drifter as they arrived near the headquarters of the Five Great sects.

The headquarters is actually a whole city in itself and there are five sub-sects in five different areas of the city.

A large city enveloped this small city from all sides.

The large city outside is called the Outer city and the smaller one is obviously called the Inner city.

Sam's identity shouldn't be known for many people here. His information was in hands of the Golem sect members, but they are a higher level power than the Five Great sects.

According to the Black Ghosts, except for the Outer Deacon, the rest of the Five Great sects are not involved in the incident.

So, it is safe to say that he is not exactly that popular in this area and the most that could happen is the Outer Deacon might recognize him and Sam actually wants him to do that.

He moved along with Arkiv while the rest of the team separated into groups of two as they moved to different areas.

Their main focus at the moment was the structure of the city, the city walls, the layout, the city guard posts, and such.

After a day of scouting, Sam and the team came out at different times and wanted to regroup at a previously decided spot.

Arkiv and Sam are leisurely walking as they took in the pleasantness of the forest.

But all of a sudden, they sensed something and both of them jumped to the side.

A large wind blade swept past their previous location as it left a large gash on the earth.

Sam looked around with a frown, but he couldn't find anyone in the direction the attack came even with his long-range vision. Even Arkiv failed with his visual prowess. He took out his bow and got ready.

At this moment, Sam sensed something and he once again leaped to the side, the tree he was hiding behind was destroyed by another wind blade and this Arkiv blindly shot in the direction the wind blade came.

Sam couldn't help but feel a bit frustrated as the trees are blocking most of the vision and he couldn't get a clear view around.

He looked at Arkiv and both of them started moving, they didn't stay at a single spot for more than half a second as they decided to move deeper and get a high ground. 

But the wind blades kept on coming from different directions. It is almost like there are a bunch of people who could see them from the top surrounding them through the sky.

They finally spotted a small hill from where they could get the required high ground, but all of a sudden, a large meteor came from above and crashed into their path making them only frown deeper.
