The golden statue led Tristan to a cavern, where ancient stone age paintings were painted on the cave walls.The golden statue man put his hand on a spot where a mark of a hand was made and then the entire cave began glowing and the painting came to life.
The golden statue man then spoke and in tandem the paintings came to life and began to enact his words.
"In the beginning, this planet was not connected to other worlds. It was its own self, sealed and hidden away from other worlds. Who created this seal? We do not know. However, the power of this seal was more powerful than even the most powerful of G.o.ds imagination.
The seal struck fear in the hearts of the powerful, for they could only wonder what kind of being could have created the seal. At that time, this world was barren.
However, through the pa.s.sage of time, this planet began to sp.a.w.n life and eventually humanity. This first civilization of humanity, under the protection of this seal thrived and became an extremely powerful seal. Over time, this seal came to be known as the sky.
Many races and beings tried to penetrate the sky, but they always failed. Countless G.o.ds believed that hidden on earth was a secret that the creator of the sky had hidden away. They could not penetrate the sky, so they tried other means.
They tried to bribe people within humanity with knowledge and inheritances that could make them grow stronger very fast, entice them to break the sky.
However, humans could not break the seal. This first civilization became terrifyingly strong and conflicts arose. The earth entered a state of perpetual war.
In this war, billions died. Tragedy was common, however power had blinded all. Within this tragedy of war, an orphan grew up. He did not cultivate any of these practices, because he saw them as the root of the war that caused the tragedy of the world.

This orphan... was blessed by the world. It was like the world converged to help him. The world gathered and the secret hidden within the world fused into the orphan.
The orphan unlocked the path of evolution and was unstoppable. He did not practice, but the secret of the world continued to infuse within him, constantly causing him to evolve. This orphan, still only a child, managed to evolve a total of nine times.
Soon, the peculiarity of this child was discovered by the G.o.ds carefully observing Earth from beyond the sky. They named this child Destiny because of its peculiar innate talent.
They incited the humans of the first civilization to attack the child. With the lure of power, the entire world banded together and hunted this innocent child to death. However, this child was Destiny, and few can alter the path of destiny.
At his last breath... the child evolved again. A being of ten plates. Such an impossible existence occurred within the sealed earth. With formation of ten plates, Destiny flew to the sky and fused with the Sky. The powerful seal, the Sky, fused with Destiny and turned it into a divine being surpa.s.sing existence itself.
Destiny had seen the actions of the greedy G.o.ds and other civilizations. He had seen the greed of humans. Destiny, now the prime divine being cursed the universe.
All the G.o.ds extinguished, all the civilizations across all the different worlds were reset and the first civilization was eradicated. Destiny self destructed and the Sky shattered. The singular Sky turned into two large children Day and Night and four smaller children Dawn, Afternoon, Evening, Dusk.
These six children hid across the universe. Destiny died and all the toxic history of the G.o.ds, other civilizations greed and humanity"s foolishness. The secret of the Earth returned to hide within the Earth, impossible to be found again."
The Golden Statue sighed. "That, lad, is the story of how the sky shattered."
Tristan was shocked. He finally found out what Destiny was, or more accurately who it was. He was stunned and had nothing more to say.
"Why did you tell me all this?" Tristan asked the golden statue.
The golden statue looked depressed. "I told you, I once was a greedy man. I wished for immortality and the wish brought me here.
This is the generation in which Destiny will reincarnate once again. G.o.ds... they are waiting for Destiny to reappear. You and I are p.a.w.ns in their game to control destiny. One of these G.o.ds wants to collect and fuse the Sky back. It wants to transcend G.o.dhood and has foreseen your actions.
He who owns Destiny"s Truth, must be led here and the truth revealed to him. This was his order. You, like me and Ares and others are p.a.w.ns in a bigger game."
Tristan shook his head. The temptation merchant making him vow to protect destiny, forever shadow handing him the Destiny"s Truth, and now being told the truth of the sky, everything was leading him towards Destiny. He never felt so weak in his life. A p.a.w.n, he had indeed become a p.a.w.n running around. He looked at the golden statue.
"So Ares led me here because he could sense Destiny"s Truth on me?" Tristan asked.
"Did you think that time dilated to the extent it did in the combat tower for everyone? That was only a special condition when the tower detected the presence of Destiny"s Truth. It was one of the reasons you beat the tower. Even if you hadn"t beaten the tower, Ares would have still sent you here. However you are an incredible talent and became the first person to clear the combat tower." The golden statue had a sad face.
"I did not wish for you to become a p.a.w.n, however, I must satisfy the vow I took."
Tristan did not respond. He was thinking something else. He was handed destiny"s truth, this was a scheme. So were probably the three vows to the Temptation merchant. However, it seems that not everything he did was under their expectations...but they can only set certain traps for me to bait me towards Destiny for their own reasons. If he used all the avenues he had outside of the trap of Destiny, Tristan thought, it was possible for him to subvert the situation and wreck the plans of these G.o.ds.
However, there must be a purpose in revealing to him the story of the sky. He had to think through this very carefully.
