'Although Zeus left the sect and lived according to his own wishes, deep down he just can't bear to abandon his dreams. Deep down, he still wants to be an Immortal Cultivator.'

'It didn't matter to him if he was way past his prime. It didn't matter if he doesn't possess any talent for it. It didn't matter if he could never fly in the skies or level the mountains. He just wanted to see the world in their perspective.'

'All he wanted was a chance. Which something that he never received no matter how he tried.'

'As Zeus travelled the world, he met a lot of people. Once, he met a rather reclusive and kind old man. On their first meeting, Zeus helped the old man to carry his belongings since it was very obvious that he couldn't do it.'

'The old man introduced himself as Old Chu, he's a humble farmer. Zeus learned that Old Chu didn't have a family anymore. His wife and children was killed during the war, leaving him alone. Old Chu originally intended to kill himself to accompany them but sadly he was too much of a coward to end his own life, therefore he retreated from the booming civilization and chose to live in small province, living a humble life of a farmer while he waits for death to claim him.'

'Zeus was moved by his story. It also just happens that he had been feeling rather down from the rejections he received before so he decided to take it slow and accompany the old man for a bit. He just wanted a short moment of peace before he chase after his dreams once again.'

'In the end, he ended up living with the old man for a bit. Zeus, albeit being a mortal, was pretty strong from the training he received, therefore he volunteered to do the heavy-lifting for the old man. He helped Old Chu with the farm work and the old man would often tell him stories about his youth, which Zeus enjoyed greatly. For a mortal, Old Chu lived a rather exciting life.'

'As time went on, the relationship of Zeus and the old man deepened. To Zeus, Old Chu was a father. And the Old Man most definitely treated Zeus as his own child as well.'

'Time passed and it was obvious to Zeus that the fires of Old Chu's life is about to be snuffed. Though he's saddened about it, Zeus understood that this is just how nature works. Besides, Old Chu was satisfied with his life. Though he visibly aged, he also smiled more and more.'

'It didn't take long before Old Chu's time arrived, but before he left, he had one final gift for Zeus.'

'This gift was a miniature mountain sculpted using a unique material. Before he passed away, Old Chu touched Zeus' forehead and this was the very moment when Zeus' life changed.'

'As it turns out, Old Chu was no mortal. He was an Immortal Cultivator - a very powerful one at that. As for how strong he was, Zeus never explicitly said it.'

'And for the record, 'Old Chu' was merely his mortal name. His real name was 'Chronos', and before he died, he passed his inheritance to Zeus since the old man knew just how much Zeus wants to become an immortal.'

'The inheritance he received was an earth-shaking one, by the time Zeus was done digesting all of the knew information in his brain, Old Chu's body already turned to ashes and was scattered by the winds. On the contrary Zeus mourned for the old man for a whole year instead of cultivating right away.'

'Whether he was Old Chu or Chronos, Zeus already treated the old man as his own father. He was saddened by his departure but also relieved. At least, the old man could now reunite with his loved ones on the after life.'

'After mourning for the old man, Zeus finally started the new chapter of his life.'

'With the abundance of things that Chronos passed onto him, being an Immortal Cultivator is no longer impossible for him. From the old man, Zeus received many heaven-defying techniques that could completely change his latent talent and enable him to chase after his dreams.'

'Zeus was a hard worker anyways. His will is incredibly firm too. All of these in addition to the chance that was finally given to him, was enough to completely transform him into a Dragon that will soar into the skies.'

'He never left the farm that he inherited from the old man. He still continued to look after it while he secluded himself from mortal affairs in order to finish his metamorphosis.'

'After this great opportunity, Zeus experienced an earth-shaking change. He no longer looked a middle-aged man, it was as if he returned to his youth. His talents were also completely transformed. He finally stepped into his road of becoming an Immortal Cultivator.'

'Once he finished his seclusion, Zeus left the farm to the care of some people who were kind to him and the Old Man. He knew that his chances of returning to this place is close to none so he might as well give the others some helping hand by allowing them to use the old man's farm.'

'Since then, Zeus travelled find and wide. Seeking for his own fate and enlightenment. Zeus didn't join any power, he preferred walking the lands, experiencing all things including dangers in order to understand the meaning of his own life. He went wherever his foot takes him, leaving an enigma of a lone immortal.'

'As he travelled the world, his strength grew stronger. His horizons were broadened, he also met tons of people ranging from mortals to cultivators, no matter how strong or weak they were, Zeus learned something from them, allowing him to grow wiser as he aged.'

'Zeus's temperament also earned many praises from the people he met. He had a righteous heart and won't hesitate to help others from fighting Demonic Beasts or Deranged Immortals. He saved millions of lives during his travels and hardly asked for any rewards.'

'Eventually, during one of his travels he suddenly felt the urge to go back home in order to see his brothers. He greatly missed them due to how much time has passed and wondered how they were doing.'

'To his surprise, upon arriving back to the sect that he treated as home. He found it in the middle of a great war.'

'Extremely alarmed, he asked some people what's going on, and when he learned about it, he was filled with an immense guilt.'

'According to rumors, a great force of evil attacked the sect, looking for a person that slain their comrades. They demanded him from them and said that if they didn't hand him over, they will destroy the sect and kill every single one of it's disciples.'

'They said that they were looking for man named Zeus as this was how the man introduced himself. And although the sect knew of a man named Zeus, the one in their description didn't fit since the Zeus they knew wasn't an Immortal. Nevertheless, the evil forces didn't accept this as an explanation and attempted to kill many disciples of the sect.'

'Amongst the casualties, the current Sect Master which is Poseidon and the Deputy Elder Hades were gravely injured. They said that they tried to protect the sect since it was the home that nurtured them. It was also the home of their Big Brother that they admired for a long time. If they allowed the sect to be destroyed under their leadership, their Big Brother will be upset and will lose his home. And that is something that they can't allow even in death.'

'Hearing all of this drove Zeus in to a fit of righteous fury. If it wasn't enough that this people tried to desecrate his home and hurt it's people, they just had to cross Zeus' bottom line and hurt his brothers.'

'Zeus' fury caused dark clouds to form and for the heaven's to weep. In the middle of a fierce war, he appeared in front of the enemies, his body shook from the palpable anger he felt specially after seeing the conditions of their brothers.'

'In his rage, Zeus hurled thunder and lightning at the enemies, decimating their ranks and evaporating them with no resistance. Just by himself, Zeus waged war and won it alone. Nevertheless, his fury still wasn't contained. Instead of returning to the sect, he decided to pay the enemy camp a visit in order to return the favor.'

'He didn't wipe them out, he only destroyed their homes, took all of their treasures, destroyed their resources, and killed their leaders. After making sure that they no longer had any chances to rise in power, he left and returned to reunited with his brothers.'

'His return caused huge ruckus. Everyone, including his brothers, can't believe how absurdly strong Zeus had gotten. They nearly can't even recognize him.'

'In the end, Zeus managed to convince them, cure his brothers and resume the peaceful lives of the people. This is also the start of Zeus' unstoppable climb to the peak…'
