'Zeus no long had any desires of leaving when he returned…'

'He had already seen the prosperity of the world and experienced multitude of things, his heart had settled down and it may be the time for him to start a family of his own.'

'Once he reunited with his brothers and cured them, Zeus told them stories about his journey and how he became an Immortal Cultivator as well. After that, Poseidon resigned from his position as the Sect Master and elected Zeus as the new one.'

'Zeus didn't refuse and did everything in his power to bring glory to the sect. As time passed, the sect prospered under his rule, even arriving at the stage where no other sect dared to find trouble with them. Zeus' strength was a powerful deterrent and wild recognized, anyone who dared to threaten the sect will suffer from endless waves of Lightning Tribulation from him.'

'With him serving as the pillar for the sect, Poseidon and Hades were free to search for their own adventures and seek enlightenment for themselves. Time passed on and due to their long lifespans, the brothers watched as generations come and go. Eventually they decided to retreat from the frontlines and entrust this world to the new generation.'

'They stayed in their home world for no more than a century before deciding to leave in search for other worlds.'

'Zeus separated from his brothers, even though they are tied by blood, they're fates are different. He didn't want to tie them down from discovering their own fates and living according to how they want. This separation of theirs ended lasting for millennia.'

'Zeus continued his own adventure. Meeting people, experiencing life, seeking enlightenment and continuously searching for a way to get stronger. He left multiple legends on the lands he visit and learned multitude of things which gave him countless of inspirations.'

'Eventually, he arrived at a place where he was understood many things. It was unknown where he actually ended up arriving since he didn't explicitly told anyone, but if there's anything, he said that he arrived somewhere outside of the Divine Realm and that place allowed him to view the secrets of the Divine Realm and broadened his horizons greatly. That is also where he met his wife - Hera.'

'When they returned to the Divine Realm, Zeus has greatly changed. He had tried to explain the secrets he saw to other people and tell them to prepared for an upcoming tribulation however nobody believed him. In fact, he was even mocked and called delusional on multiple occasions.'

'The change on his temperament was probably caused by this. He just can't understand why no one believed him. Gone was his amicable smile and wizened face. He always wore a hardened expression and developed a rather strict temperament. In the end, Zeus thought that if they're not going to help him and won't listen to him, then he shall take matters to his own hands.'

'He built a sect named Ancient Elysium Sect. Using the inheritance left the Chronos - more specifically the miniature mountain, he built a large sect that could house incredible numbers of people. The miniature mountain turned into a gigantic one which pierced the heavens themselves. Zeus's personal abode is located at the peak of this mountain which he now called Mount Olympus.'

'He summoned his brothers - who also experienced many things in life and were completely different from who they were before. Along with their families and disciples, Zeus revealed to them secrets that he saw as well as the looming danger above them.'

'The secrets he revealed were incredibly alarming, yet they found no way to refute his claims. Zeus originally didn't want to involve his brothers to this but he's left with no choice. His brothers agreed to help him and were even willing to throw away their lives for him.'

'Since then, the sect continued growing in preparation for the upcoming danger. The brothers - Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades reached incredible heights in terms of cultivation that nobody, even in the Divine Realm, could threaten their existence. However, as they got stronger, judgement day also arrived closer. Soon there will be no escaping the clash.'

'And then the fated day arrived.'

'Out of nowhere, an army who're strong enough to wipe out every single living thing in the Divine Realm arrived. Their arrival was silent, even Zeus himself found it out a bit too late as they already desecrated numerous lives the Divine Realm. However, even if he was late, it was no excuse for them not to resist these forces. The very reason why Zeus built this sect was for this very purpose anyway.'

'Zeus declared war against the foreign army, using every resources he have in order to take them down. With his lead, they managed to slay the foreign forces but was unable to restore the damages they caused.'

'As everybody in Divine Realm was panicking, Zeus - along with his forces, announced their presence by actively resisting them. Many people joined to their cause and was moved by their bravery - most of these people were the same ones who mocked him and called him delusional when he was trying to warn them about this very day.'

'Needless to say, Zeus still appreciated their help and told them everything he knew while he himself lead the assault against the Evil Forces.'

'After years of protracted war, they managed to eradicate the foreign army yet at the cost of multiple casualties. The people who died in the defense against the evil forces were treated as a hero, even more so Zeus and his army. His fame resounded in every corner of the Divine Realm. Many people were grateful for his actions, they sung endless praises about him but Zeus never cared about any of it.'

'He knew that the battle is far from over.'

'Through the years, traces of foreign races continuously invaded and were constantly repelled by Zeus and his army. Although they were successful, the casualties were piling up high. Lands were continuously destroyed and the resources were dwindling. Anymore of this and the longevity of the Divine Realm would he seriously harmed.'

'Fortunately or unfortunately, the foreign races seems to have had enough to the constant defeat they suffered. In the end, their leader personally paid a visit to the Divine Realm and ushered the battle for survival.'

'When asked why they invaded, the Leader of the foreign races simply replied that they want to plunder resources since their home was running out it.'

'Though that was unreasonable, the reason he provided makes sense. It's debatable whether there is or there isn't a better way to do this, in the end the only choice left was to fight, and humans can't afford to lose.'

'That being said, the leader of the opposing force was too powerful. Even the combined strength of Zeus and his army wasn't enough to take him down. Seeing this, Zeus understood what meant to be done for the greater good. If they can't kill him, then they can prevent him doing harm to their world.'

'Zeus ignited his life, wanting to seal the powerful enemy. His brothers were aware of his resolve therefore they followed his footsteps as well. This notion was then followed by almost everyone who fought against Devil Emperor while the rest threw their lives in order to prevent the devil from stopping the ritual.'

'In the end, the seal was formed. Using the lives of the Ancestors, they imprisoned the Devil Emperor and sealed him within an enormous pagoda which was also sealed within Mount Olympus.'

'Before they died, Zeus instructed the sect to their descendants, telling them to guard the seal and if possible, wait for the right person that could kill the Devil Emperor to rid this world of it.'

'After their deaths and successful sealing of the Devil Emperor. The Council of Humanity honored their sacrifice for the greater good and glorified them as Heroes of the Divine Realm. They also sealed the entrance that the foreign races used to invade their home. Finally, they entrusted the seal to the descendants of the sect, giving them every help they could in order to permanently seal this evil away or until they could find the person who can kill it.'

'That being said, the methods do the Devil Emperor was still numerous and the descendants now has to face endless waves of Devils.'

'Junior - you who read this book and learned about the history of our Ancestors. On behalf of them, I do implore your aid. Fight with us. Make sure that the Devil Emperor must either die or never take a step out of his prison.'

'I might no longer be around by the time that you're reading this, more so I don't have anything to give you in order to move you. However, for the sake of the safety of trillions of lives within the Divine Realm…'

'I beg of you…do not let the Devil Emperor roam free.'

Raven reached the last page of the thick book. He released a long sigh and closed it. Looking through the window, he saw that it was almost sunset.. He stretched his body and left the book while he prepared a meal for himself, not knowing that the Thunderbolt Mark on his forehead was releasing a gentle glow.
