1648  Truth

Azief uses the last bit of his strength and extracted the All Source. From the beginning he wanted to make the All Source as the connector. That is why he left it for the end

He could not help but think that this is the perfect connector of all of his Essence.

All Source energy could convert any emery to other energy. It is the ultimate method of transformation. And the moment the All-Source energy comes out from his body, it did not become an Essence Avatar Instead, like a misty ball that accumulate and gathered, it becomes like a translucent floating ball.

And in less than a second, tentacles-like tendrils sprouted out from this ball of energy and it moves swift like lightning and heading toward each one of the Essence avatars

It pierces evert single one of the avatars and the moment they were pierced, they turns into a ball of energy. All of this happens in a fraction of a second. The twelve-apparition dissipated like smoke being blown by the wind and what is left is thirteen floating balls of energy

Azief is weak right now. But he could still have the energy to smile. The thirteen balls of essence of energy begins emanating its own energy and this energy unlike before did not spread out to the surrounding. Instead, it come close to Azief body and then as it reaches his body, this energy nourishes him and most of Azief pain was washed away

It felt like a cold-water wash over him causing his body to feel refreshed. But the weakness and the fatigue did not disappear completely. After all, the pain, the tiredness are all part of the process.

But it is enough for him. It is enough for him to the last part. When the energy enters his body, he also felt the connection between him and the thirteen essences of energy.

Before, he had extracted all of these thirteen energies and form them into an essence energy

It is a purer kind of energy. And now it is time to mould it into the Essence of Harmony and Chaos

This essence of energy is now connected to him and he could move it and he moves six Essence avatars. These six essence avatars all possess laws of life or govern the principle of life.

Even if it's not, as it is a major law, it would touch upon the law of life. And Azief need to make sure that each of these six essences that he is moving with his thought, possess life force. Life is Chaos. And it is the creation of Essence Avatar of Chaos. Six of this essence fly toward each other and it meld into each other. The process is swift and effortless. And unlike before, Azief is not attacked by a bout of weakness. Because this energy is outside of his body, it did not affect him. But he did feel that his energy is running out. Because he once again had to cut the connection. The Six Essence combine to become an Essence Avatar of Chaos. The process is swift and the result is also swift. It is unlike before when Azief extracted his Essence. That was the hard part. But now, the hard part is over and what is left only is the epilogue

The Essence Avatar of Chaos appears and it instantly appears in full form. It was Azief dressed in garbed dark robe with chaos energy drifting out from its existence. The space around him is torn apart but it did not reach the point that it would affect the world like before

The Essence Avatar of Chaos appears in full form, like Athena springing out from Zeus head.

But this Essence Avatar of Chaos did not absorb the world energy and it is closing its eyes. Azief did not have the time to think why the Essence Avatar is doing that

Instead, he focused on the other six essence energy that is still floating around him. Even though his energy decreased again, he is still better than before where it felt like he could die anytime He looks at the other six, manipulate it to emanate the force of Death. Death is Harmony. It is order. What is Harmony and what is Chaos is determined by the one who created the Essence Avatar. Azief understanding of the laws believe that Death is order, death is Harmony. Destruction is the order of things and it balances and harmonizes creation

And life, creation is the antithesis of this. It is full of chaos, unpredictability, uncertainty and when it is left unchecked it destroy the entire ecosystem

That is what life and death is according to his understanding. And based on that understanding, he created these two Essence Avatar. Just like before, the six of these energy essences melded with each other and as swiftly as before, another Essence Avatar appears

This time it is the Essence Avatar of Harmony that is being condensed. It appears almost instantly just like the other avatar.

Twelve energies, twelve essence is used to create this two Avatar. The Essence Avatar of Harmony stands on Azief right side and the Essence Avatar of Chaos stands on Azief left side.

And standing there, they separated the world into black and white. Into life and death. Into creation and destruction. Even though their bodies did not emanate any of this power and affect the world, the subtleties of these concepts is emanating from them

This is the concept of returning to basic, none of the energy is leak. When one person power overwhelms the world and created mystical phenomenon, sometimes, it did not mean that it is good or better.

Sometimes, it just means the control of energy is insufficient. Hence, the leak of energy that changes the world

Changing the world entangles you with cause and effect. The stronger the being, the more reluctant they are to be entangled with cause and effect.

Azief actually has very fine control of his power. He could kill a person with just enough strength and ability without being overkill.

But when you walk the Perfection Path and when you went into a breakthrough, the effect of energy leaking is more impactful than the others

Because the Heavens would recognize and the Will of the Universe would notice. Because a taboo existence is about to be born. And as such each time Azief breakthrough to another realm, no matter how he tries to contain it, his control of energy would always falter and his energy would change the world

And this kind, entangles cause and effect. For now, cause and effect, Karma, good fortune and misfortune did not seem to affect Azief very much. But the more you walk the path, the further you go, then one would understand, that incurring too much cause and effect is not good

The Truth is there. And the Truth is set by that person in the Garden. And the Truth is kind. And if Truth is noble, kind, and virtuous, then whatever that is not in that line, the harder to see the Path.

The Truth

Because the Truth is whatever that person decided it to be. And since the Truth is all-good, bad Karma would affect the path toward that Truth

Azief understood only a little. Azul understand it the most. And there is countless of beings in the Omniverse that understand it, but could not find the way forward, because they are entangled always in cause and effect like a shackle that keep pulling them down. But Azief right now, or to be more accurate, his Essence Avatar has perfect control over their energies.

Even though the energy in their bodies are the purest, they could keep it contain. This is the kind of knowledge that Azief wanted. And he could only smile when he sees these two avatars standing on his left and right, like some kind of a divine bodyguard that separate the realm of the mortals and the realm of gods

Twelve essences. Only one Essence energy ball is left. Floating in front of Azief

The last one. The final piece of the puzzle

The All-Source Essence energy

And he smiles. And he closes his eyes

Maybe, because it is the last piece of the puzzle, he feel calms. The feeling of controlling this essence that is separated from him felt a lot smoother. The knowledge comes naturally to him. He thinks that the All-Source energy returning towards him. And the All-Source energy returns to him, slowly, like the wind push it towards Azief. And it enters back into Azief body. There is no fancy explosion, no burst of energy, no pulsating aura erupting…none of that

Simple. Basic. Natural. The energy went out of him to establish connection between the disparate entities of the essence avatar. And now, when it returns, the connection is established. Azief inner world is reconstructed. And Azief felt back the power of all his thirteen laws. Thirteen energies once again coursing through his body. But it purer. More concentrated. More….powerful

And his body that has been upgraded because of the pain, could now also contain this energy.

The body is the container of these energies. And any energy that is about to leak is absorbed into the blood, into the nerves, into the bones, into the skin
