Chapter 13 - The Golden Age (2)

Kalpa

After over a millennium of peace and prosperity across Kalpa times were slowly shifting, and the gears of fate? they were shifting. At a certain realm of power all beings, instinctively start to perceive things that are naked to eye. Things like Fate, Karma, and Destiny. These are three of the many ethereal laws that allow powerful entities to prepare and know what's to come ahead of time. And right now? Boy were those powerful entities, those who haven't moved in centuries, maybe even, millennia. They were wide awake now and why? Well, it's because they felt it... the 'Gears of Fate' they all felt it shifting. All of them immediately turned their attention to those three ethereal laws to try to find some kind of clues. And what they saw? It left them all looking grave! 

All major races and factions came all to one conclusion.

"G-GOLDEN A-AGE!!!!"

On the Central Continent

In a temple that seemed so old almost as ancient as Kalpa itself. Oddly enough though, this temple looked utterly majestic, with a total of 13 statues sitting on zafus on each side of a path leading towards the grand gate. It was if someone captured a scene of 13 Gods welcoming someone into the gates of heaven. And if someone said that.... they wouldn't be totally wrong either. That's because this the Temple of the Heaven Gaze Sect. 

The Heaven Gaze Sect is the number one faction in all of Kalpa. This ranking has nothing to do with manpower or even some overwhelming strength that could make everyone grovel beneath their feet. But it came from the specialty of those who are members of the Heaven Gaze Sect, the members of the Heaven Gaze Sect are seers. 

I'm pretty sure you all have heard of seers before. You know the old geezers, with white beards that could reach the nine hells. Yea, those guys who are always yapping about 'The Secrets of Heaven" bullshit. 

On the opposite side of the big commanding gate that was in front of temple, one could see something totally different than the outside. Behind those gates was an endless expanse of clouds.... yea just big unnaturally fluffy clouds. But as one got closer one could see 13 people in an eerily similar manner as the statues. They were all siting on zafus, six people on each side, with one person in the middle of it all. 

These were the 13 seers of Kalpa. These 13 people are known to stay away from worldly affairs and tend to let fate takes its course. But today was different. The man at the head of all of rest, sat there calmly, crossed legged, with his eyes closed. One would expect to see some old geezer, right? Bullshit! At the head of all was a young man, who, looked to be around 21 years of age. He had pure white hair that was a bit too neat for a guy. His hair flowed all the way down his back stopping at his hip line. His skin was pale, but didn't look unhealthy. This man is Jovian Savant. 

After trying to understand the mysteries of heaven and earth his eyelids slowly started to flutter. But before they could open an all-black blindfold appeared out of thin air and slowly wrapped around his eyes. He grinned before speaking 

"The Golden Age is upon us, huh?" his voice seemed to echo within this vast realm of clouds. Although he sounded youthful one could hear something a bit more ancient from within.

He slowly stood up from his zafu and started walking between the other 12 seers while speaking.

"In 6 months', time the Academy of Kalpa will open" he said while casually making his way towards the exit of the realm. After catching the attention of the other 12 seers, he spoke again and this time he left them appalled to say the least.

"And at that time, I will attend the entrance exam." 

*silence*

After making his way to the exit he slowly turned around. Although the distance between them stretched for miles he could see everything as if he had a telescope. He waited for response of the other 12 seers. Although he sat at the head of the seers, he didn't necessarily have all authority of them. Seers are special, much more special than people actually realize. Most people think of seers as just people absurdly Intune with the mysteries of Fate, Karma, and Destiny. Which is true, but what most don't know is that every seer is totally different.

In every universe there is always a set number of seers that could be born. One of the reasons for this is because all seers are fundamentally different. You have many variants of seers, such as, Celestial Seers, Spiritual Seers, Oracles, and etc. The point is that seers can be very OP. And Jovian Savant? well, he has the potential to be most OP of them all. 

Jovian Savant is a Transmigrator from Earth. If Akasha was to learn of this, he, would probably say something to Luna like 'EARTH?!! HOW TF IS EARTH REAL IF YOU SAID MY LIFE WAS AN ILLUSION?!!' which it was, but that was a story for another time. Jovian in the year 2071 at the age of 16 died due to truck falling on him. When he died, he found himself in the middle of the slums in some Middle-level world. After going through usual cliche emotions of a transmigrator, he eventually met some beggar who learned that Jovian possessed this galaxy's number 1 ranked eyes, 'The Eyes of Heaven'.

These eyes were widely known to be the most dangerous pupils in the entire galaxy. And to be possessed by any seer variant, that would be even worse. After spending 3 years with the beggar who he came to know be the ancestor of the 'Heaven Gaze Sect', someplace he never heard of. The ancestor brought him to Kalpa and ever since then he has been here.

After the silence someone spoke

"Jovian, we all know that you can see things that some of us may not be able to see at times. But you know we of the 'Heaven Gaze Sect' never interfere with machinations of Fate. The person who spoke was a middle-aged lady with long black hair. She was a Celestial Seer. Celestial seers are known for their power to communicate with Celestial bodies. By communicating with these celestial' bodies, she can get answers about things from all points of history. Like imagine an elf who could ask a tree about what happened last night. Now imagine someone asking a FUCKING PLANET what happened 2,000 years ago. Yea, that's why seers are so OP and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

This lady was Tali Savant.

As if he was expecting something like this Jovian said with a sly smile 

"Oh yea, even when The Golden Age is on the horizon?" he spoke while thinking 'I've spent enough time in this boring ass realm!! As a Transmigrator from Earth, how could I sit in this place all day, when there is a WHOLE FANTASY WORLD OUTSIDE!!!' Jovian was internally pissed, sure, he is grateful for the ancestors' saving grace. But he wanted to experience everything he could in this fantasy world. Ever since he found out he was an oracle he patiently waited for perfect time. And it has finally come. 'The Golden Age and The Invasion of some lost race?!!! JUST PERFECT FOR MY NEW ADVENTURES' he thought

Hearing this Tali rolled her eyes before saying 

"So what? The Golden Age comes every few thousand years. We have dealt with this before."

'IT'S TIME!!!' Jovian thought as he was about drop a bombshell. Since Jovian was an oracle that wield the 'Eyes of Heaven', he always learned about upheavals before the rest of the seers. So, he smirked knowing it was time for his journey to begin.

"Then what about the invasion of the Titans? You know, the ones that were exiled from Kalpa?" He spoke so casually as if he didn't just talk about some forbidden knowledge.

"W-WHAT?!!!!!" ALL 12 SEERS EXACLAIMED AT THE SAME TIME!

All around Kalpa every race, sect, and empire were moving. Because they all knew one thing...

 THE GOLDEN AGE WAS COMING AND THE ACADEMY OF KALPA WAS THE CENTER OF IT ALL!!!!!
