Darkness
Drip drip drip
When Saviour opened his eyes he was instantly met with the darkness. Not only darkness, he was cold and wet. Just as he started to process where he was he felt it.
A sharp burning sensation in his chest erupted, a sizzling sound could actually be audible. In the darkness, as Saviour looked up a dark purple miasma was wrapping around his body.
"Aaaghhhhhhhhh" from Saviour's position a haunting scream could be heard, if anyone else was around that is. What Saviour was in was some sort of cave, clearly abandoned by all animals life much less humans.
The miasma from the parasite trapped in Saviour's body had encrypted in his moment of weakness. When Saviour had just saved Sacrarium, he was relieved and for a moment his mind was exhausted. In this moment the parasite happened to wake up and activate it's ability.
In an instant Saviour's body was nowhere to be seen. From Cubit's point of view it's as if he disappeared. It just so happened that the parasite that attached itself to Saviour also had some sort of movement ability.
Once Saviour felt the agonising burning sensation on his body his mind jolted to consciousness. The miasma was attacking him and was trying to refine his sunlight. The miasma was full of will left by the dark god who spread it, his will was still contained within.
Saviour did the only thing he could and tried to push his sunlight against the miasma. But Saviour did not know how to activate his will and pour it into sunlight to refine it. He was only blessed with it's abilities not full control of the sunlight itself.
The miasma grew, Saviour's pathetic attempt at stopping it had only let it grow. With no other choice Saviour tried to teleport back to Sacrarium and hope someone could help him escape this pain, even if that means killing him.
He pulled the sunlight from attacking to open a gate...
Nothing happened. Not a thing, it was as if he was sitting still, no ability was activated. He had done as always, activating his thoughts to use his ability. But now that was useless and all Saviour could do was endure the pain.
160 years later
Saviour knelt in the hard rock surface below him, he sat there knowing there was nothing he could do. He didn't know how long has passed but he knew it was all over, all his people would be long dead without him, at best they would split into smaller factions. All this time the sunlight and miasma tangled but without any knowledge Saviour could only let the miasma grow and grow. Each time it absorbed some sunlight it's roots grew further in, Saviour could feel a burden in his mind.
The miasma will attacked unrelenting, causing a pain that is beyond physical it was straight at someone's mind and soul.
Saviour had been busy as this time, he had staggered through this place. A dark and wet cave, untainted by outside miasma, it seemed different. It wasn't like Sacrarium which he covered in a layer of sunlight. It was... pure.
He looked through the whole cave but there was an endless number of dead ends. He should have died from hunger or thirst but he seemed to cling on somehow. Like some unknown entity was holding his body together.
That wasn't to say he was healthy though, his body was malnutritioned and his skin covered in scrapes and cuts.
Once again, he started to explore the next tunnel when once again he felt a significant portion of sunlight had been refined. In an instant, he had thoughts that were not his own to give up. But Saviour persevered no matter and continued to take a step forward.
That was when Saviour's persistence had payed off. As he rounded the corner of the cave wall he saw something.
Glowing and serene. It was a vast underground lake with shimmering water. But what was interesting wasn't the lake but what perched above it. An upside down palace. Seemingly crystalline, it was dark crimson and gave off an iron smell.
When Saviour had just comprehended what was there he froze.
A formless blast of energy released from within the palace. Saviour's thoughts were stopped, not only that the miasma and sunlight had frozen mid fight.
A crimson light bubbled up from Saviour's body and in an instant the miasma and sunlight had burst like blisters.
In their remains were two dark blood orbs floated in front of Saviour.
Originally Saviour mas a small almost skeleton-like man but as the crimson energy pervaded him he grew taller. The blood and sinew formed from nothingness and created a new body from the miniscule amount left. Saviour's white hair turned crimson almost like strands of blood.
"Come inheritor. Come and take in my guidance, I may be old and dead but I can teach you the immensity of Heaven and Earth" a voice boomed from the two blood orbs in front of Saviour.
In a stupor, Saviour couldn't reply. He was stupefied and couldn't comprehend what just happened. He had seen powers before but this wasn't done special small power. This was a true god, only a god could create a new body and destroy the two divinities fighting within him.
All of this went straight over his head. He was a blessed who created Sacrarium, he was a person who wants to save everyone, he ensured decades of torture and all of a sudden all of his problems and insignificant.
"You must be in shock, I'll explain in due time. First let's get you some clothes and I'll explain some things to you..." the blood orbs once again shook.
A set of black ribbed flew out of the oasis as it collapsed, creating large splashes in the lake below. The robe noticed to fit Saviour's body, just as good body noticed to fit it. They became one, he was not wearing clothes as much as the clothes were wearing him.
Some time passed as Saviour awoke from his stupor and explained his situation to the blood orbs which now flew into his forehead.
"Well I suppose I'll explain who I am, who you are and where you are" the blood orbs didn't speak this time but transmitted information into his brain.
Saviour took a few days until he understood it all. These orbs are the remains of the blood ancestor Yue. He was what was known as a 'cultivator', but Saviour knew these people as gods. The mythology he had in his head was entirely wrong, these weren't gods but mere people. The twin suns weren't two sun gods, they were a cultivator duo who lived in seclusion on this unnamed island until their death.
Cultivators had an inner world, a separate dimension they form in their body. This is what Saviour referred to as the divine kingdom. When he used gates to open up the divine kingdom he was simply opposing up the inner world that this duo left.
Cultivators use laws or dominions in their inner world to create change, by moving their inner world out if their body they can overlap it with reality. In turn they can manipulate the reality in that region.
That was the reason why he couldn't use his ability gained by the sunlight cultivators, he had left their inner world and entered Blood Ancestor's. However, he got in their through the parasite miasma's power since the miasma cultivator had encompassed the whole island while coveting the dead sunlight inner world.
Saviour had lived in this island his whole life, the whole island was covered, in another dimension, with the inner world. He was in a constant battle between a dead sunlight inner world and a thriving miasma world.
Divinity wasn't that, but a substance in the air that was almost imperceptible called qi. The two divinities were two qi refining methods and two refiners.
But all of this was useless as he didn't know what he wanted to do anymore. He had hoped the sun gods would save his people but now so long has passed, and the gods weren't real and we're even dead. Surely if the sunlight cultivator duo was alive he would've been a puppet like those chosen by miasma. He was all alone and he was lost.
"Now that you know a little, from now on you shall be my discipline and learn from my blood refining methods. You shall become a cultivator of your own, I will teach you all the methods you need as you need them. Can you imagine your growth of decreasing the 'evil miasma god" and refining the inner world of the sunlight. All shall be blood! But you can't keep this old name "saviour", it doesn't suit you, from now on you will be known by the world as...
