Chapter 249 248- Heavens And Primordial Beings (Part 1)

So, with a sigh, Kai started recounting what happened to him ever since he got separated with Kaya and what kind of tests he went through. Kaya was very much shocked from what she heard but she didn\'t speak until Kai finished speaking.

When he did, Kaya sighed as she looked at him. "I\'m glad you\'re ok…" 

"It wasn\'t that big of a deal. I was able to reach this place with minimal effort. I\'m more curious about why you two didn\'t face the same thing." Kai shrugged.

"I wonder why…"

He really didn\'t find any noteworthy difficulty during this whole ordeal. But, it was certainly a good way to move his rather rusty body for a change.

"I always forget that there are only a few things that could threaten your life." Kaya chuckled before she turned around. "Well, what are we going to do now?"

"Well, we didn\'t try to move from here since we didn\'t know where you were so we didn\'t explore the place. But, from what I can see, it\'s pretty vast. It also doesn\'t seem like a place I have seen before." Kaya explained with a thoughtful look on her face.

"Me neither." Aria interjected. "The Origin here is way purer than most places I\'ve been to." She added.

\'It\'s even more pure than that forest.\' She mused secretly.

Kai didn\'t say a word as he scanned the place. The air of this place was cold, pure and very clean. The Origin around them was also pretty much the purest they\'ve ever felt before. It\'s thickness and strong presence was almost too much.

Kai\'s eyes squinted as he looked behind him at the place he exited from. Shockingly, it appeared like a small, normal house surrounded by mesmerizing nature. The wooden door was now also closed.

So, curiously, Kai approached it and opened it, only to find it leading back to the interior of a normal house. The interior was furnished and quite clean even though this place should\'ve been left for a long while with no 

"What?"

Kaya and Aria approached him and took a peek inside.

"I was inside a dungeon when I came out of this door." He murmured.

\'How did it change?\' He murmured to himself.

"What is happening here, really? I feel like we\'re being toyed with." Aria\'s face seemed to pale harder and harder the more time they spent there.

Ever since he arrived there, Kai had noticed that expression on her. He knew that she probably was aware of something that he didn\'t know.

"What is it?" Kai asked her.

"Hmm?" The girl flinched for a second as if she was taken by surprise.

"... Nothing…" 

\'I can\'t ask her now when Kaya is present.\'

"So, should we just explore this place and see what we find?" She asked.

"We have no other choice."

So, the group turned around and started walking in the only direction they had which was apparently north from what Kai can see.

The ethereal landscape stretched endlessly before them, akin to an arist\'s palette of vibrant hues that danced with an otherworldly glow. Kai was leading the trio as he looked around. The place seemed so peaceful that he didn\'t even know how it existed for this long and it was never discovered. Even the areas in the world that remained undiscovered were still known to Kai since he had roamed the whole world before.

Yet, never did he come across any information about this place.

\'It\'s too vast to not be noticed by someone in these thousands of years… Unless, its like the temple.\' He murmured to himself.

The temple city where Kai was born was also hidden from the world by unknown forces that made it impossible to enter it unless Kai father allowed it. To this day, Kai didn\'t understand how his father had such control over that place but it was still similar to the realm they were walking in at the moment.

"Isn\'t this place too beautiful? Alarmingly so?" Kaya\'s voice broke the silence, her eyes filled with wonder as she soaked in the surreal surroundings.

"It\'s like… stepping into a dream." Aria added softly, her voice filled with awe.

"A dream, huh? That seems like an accurate way to describe it." Kaya smiled as she nodded her head. It was indeed a dream-like world. A place that the trio never been in before.

As they were walking like that, Kai\'s eyes landed on something in the far distance that appeared like a small, white dot. His eyes pierced the distance powerfully as he halted his steps.

"Look there." He said as he pointed his finger at the mysterious object.

"Hm? What\'s that?" Kaya squinted her eyes but couldn\'t quite discern what it was.

So, the group decided to actually move toward it. Since the distance was quite far, their trip took a while. But, that didn\'t matter to them as they were getting closer, the object finally started appearing more and more visible to them.

Nestled amidst the celestial-like blooms and vibrant flora were the ancient remains of a creature. The bones were a shining white color that remained beautiful even after the unknown amount of time that passed. Enormous parts of its body stretched out like colossal monuments against the heaven realm. The skeletal frame, almost inconceivably immense with its sheer size and magnitude.

The towering ribs, each bone seemingly as wide as a massive tree trunk, arched upward in a graceful curse, forming an imposing structure that spoke a once majestic creature. The spinal column was made out of series of colossal vertebrae that extended far into the distance. The skull was the most notable part of the whole remains as it gave the group an idea what this thing was.

"Is that… a dragon?" Kaya murmured in completely disbelief.

As they got closer and closer from it, its size kept getting bigger and bigger as if it was trying to shock them harder and harder.

"A dragon…" Kai\'s eyes stared upward at the majestic creature that was long dead.

He couldn\'t believe his eyes. Dragons were simply mythical creatures that never existed in the first place. The fact that they were standing in front of one was a historical moment in and out of itself.

"How did this thing even exist?" Aria murmured to herself. Standing next to the creature\'s skull, she was completely dwarfed by its sheer scale. The jawbones alone were larger than any building she had ever seen, and the teeth, still intact despite the millennia that passed were as long as her entire body if not more.

Kaya traced the bones with her hands gently. She didn\'t even need to hit it to know that these bones were extremely resilient if not out right unbreakable.

"This creature must\'ve been a monster in its own right." She said. "Isn\'t that right, Kai?"

"Hmm, If that\'s the case, then it wasn\'t the strongest of its time." Kai said as he signaled for the two girls to come closer to his side since he was standing near the ribs.

"Look here. The ribs here aren\'t intact and the shape of the broken ribs align together." He said.

Looking closer at it, there was indeed circular like line that moved across multiple of its ribs that cut them short mysteriously.

"..." It didn\'t take them long to realize what Kai meant.

"It didn\'t die naturally?" Kaya shuddered when she understood that possibility.

"Definitely not. This seems like a deadly injury." With his analytical gaze that assessed the remains, Kai found himself in another dilemma.

This creature was unbelievable strong and he didn\'t even need to meet it to know that. Its bones alone are probably the hardest object he had ever come across, harder than even the blade of his sword.

Despite the passage of ages, the remains exuded an aura of primordial strength, something that should never even exist in this world to begin with. This discovery only made this place even more bizarre and confusing.

"What could\'ve killed this thing?" Kaya asked.

She didn\'t want to know the answer since it was probably going to be something really unpleasant. However, she was still curious.

"Isn\'t this place related to the Progenitor? It\'s not hard to link the two together." Kai murmured as he turned around and stared at the sky.

"The Progenitor did this?"

"Possibly," Aria replied. "We know that he was very strong. But, how strong he was? It\'s up to assumptions. But, from these remains, perhaps he was way stronger than anyone of us could\'ve ever predicted."

"That\'s… insane."

A man capable of killing such a creature… How monstrous was he. Kaya\'s eyes naturally went to Kai who was standing there silently.

Of course Kai was a living proof of strength and that made Kaya even more curious to know another thing.

"Do you think you can kill this thing if it was still alive, Kai?"
