Chapter 36 Earth
'For me, it has been more than hundred thousand years since I was away. How are my friends? Are they dead already? How will my body look? How old am I going to be?'
His body floated and turned into its transcendental form. His transcendent body then lunged down and landed on his homeland; Earth.
"Beep. Beep." The sound of a hospital monitor assaulted his ears.
"Ow." He felt pain all over his body, he tried to move but was only able to raise his hand a little.
"Bro?" Suddenly, someone spoke with shock. He struggled to open his eyes, and in front of him, was a 16 year-old teenage man looking at him with amazement and delight. "Key?" He responded weakly.
"Yo, bro! You're really awake!" The man named Key jumped with delight and hugged him swiftly, which made him flinch in pain. Key noticed that and quickly backed away, "Sorry."
"Yo, I got to call Jeremy!" Key said happily.
"How long was I asleep?" He asked. "About two months, bro." Key answered."
"Holy shit, just two months?! Wait, was all that a dream?" Matthias suddenly grimaced.
"Was it all a dream or what?" Key looked at him weirdly.
"No, Matthias." While he was panicking, a loli voice sounded through the door. Someone opened it, and there stood someone Matthias least expected.
"Shyra?" Matthias looked at her with glee. f𝑟e𝒆𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗oѵ𝐞𝗹.c૦𝑚
"Your crush? Where?" Key knew that Shyra was Matthias' crush so, as a friend, he wanted to make him a little bit decent.
"That's not Shyra. Who's she?" Key looked at the "Shyra" on the door warily.
"No, no. Not my crush, Shyra. The Shyra whom I truly know!" Matthias was excited and tried to stand but he was still a little weak.
Hearing how he referred to her, Shyra smiled sweetly. "Dumb dumb. My name isn't really Shyra. My name is Nuwa."
"As in the mother goddess Nuwa, sister and wife of Fuxi?" Matthias looked at her.
"Indeed, I am." She nodded.
"Great name you got there, Nuwa." Key nodded approvingly. He thought that Matthias only said those to reference it to the name, but Matthias thought otherwise.
As a man who had been with Shyra, or Nuwa, he knew that even if she is not a god created by the system, she would've been a real deity with her indifference to anything. But he didn't expect that it was Nuwa, a goddess from his world!
"Bro," Matthias looked at Key, "Could you please leave us alone for a bit?"
"Yeah, yeah. Okay." Key nodded absentmindedly as he didn't expect that Matthias would make him leave, "Remember! Bros before hoes!"
"Yeah! I am loyal to the Constitution of Constipation!" Matthias laughed and shoo-ed away his friend, who laughed while leaving.
Outside the room, Key took his phone and dialed a number, "Hey! Bro Jer, Bro Matt is awake!"
The man outside the phone shouted excitedly, "Really?!"
"Yeah! And apparently, he met a girl in his dreams that came true! Boy, does that girl look beautiful!" Key laughed.
"Man, that's nuts!" The man called Jer laughed too.
Back in Matthias' room, he was questioning Nuwa. "How did you go down here?"
"I always do this when I'm bored." Nuwa chuckled. "It is innate for deities to descend to a world that they know. And as I originated here, I will therefore have the ability to descend here without rejection from the world.
"Oh. Then, you can do whatever you like here. You can just go back whenever you want." He nodded, then realized something, "How am I going to come back?"
"Your domain is only connected to the core of the galaxy and therefore, you couldn't just fly towards it. You need to access inside your Mind Of Creation for your body or soul to teleport to the Creation Platform." Shyra answered.
"So I can just fake falling asleep and then I can go to the platform?" He asked.
"Your body could even come with your soul if you need to." She nodded.
"Thank you for all the information, Nuwa." Matthias thanked her and smiled. "It is my job after all." Answered Nuwa.
After that, she left the room and let Key enter once more. She told Key that he was already asleep due to fatigue, to which Key nodded and rushed to the room worriedly.
By now, Matthias' soul already returned to the Creation Platform. His soul was enveloped with a transcendent aura that protected it from anything.
Nuwa was also already there, standing on the platform. Nuwa looked at him and smiled. "You're just in time. You shall now see one of Mystic Points' uses."
Hearing that, Matthias was expectant. He looked where Nuwa was looking and there, spatial tunnels appeared. Slowly, celestial objects such as asteroids, stars, and planets.
"The amount of Mystic Points you have will be the amount of celestial objects that you will be able to attract into your domain. You're in luck, as you have attracted seventeen mature stars and 5 planets."
"Ooh!" Matthias was in awe. Tons of asteroids and things came out from the tunnel. Some asteroids collided and formed preliminary worlds. Some just floated and orbited stars and large planets.
"This will happen everyday, so expect a lot of things." She smiled.
"I shall now apply my insights from the Basic Knowledge of Creation. How can I apply laws now that the system is gone?" He asked.
"Just think of it. Your mind now has the ability of the Mind of Creation and it now has all authority over anything in your domain, including laws." She replied.
Matthias did what she said. He thought of the Dao of All Things and its extremities. He applied it to all of the areas of his domain and made it the core of all laws.
Soon, below the platform, where all things are encompassed, a yin yang trigram appeared and shone upon all below, encompassing it with its laws.
