Deep in an unknown place far beyond anyone's reach, an old man sat on a huge rock, his figure was blurry and unseen, he sat there in a meditative position, the world, laws, time, or even the Dao's none of them seem to affect him as he sat there unmoving if it wasn't for the humongous pressure that was being released from his body. He would have just looked like a corpse.
His figure was illusionary, disappearing between the known and unknown, just his natural pressure was enough to destroy worlds, the place he sat was quiet, no sound filled the area, it was complete silence but today the silence was broken as the man's eyes opened after a millennium, his gaze was too profound to be understood.
Just gazing into his eyes one would feel oneself slip into something far beyond understanding, the vicissitudes of life and experience filled his gaze, nothing in the world seemed to surprise him. He opened his eyes as his body that hasn't moved in who knows how long finally rose as an orb appeared in his arms.
His eyes peered deep into it as a hint of surprise filled them, his cold apathetic eyes twinkled for a moment as his murmurs filled the world,
"A Gravewalker? shouldn't its legacy be lost?"
The man's eyes narrowed as his mind flashed to a past forgotten by the world, a past where Titans, kings, Dragons, Gods, and Devils fought to protect one thing they held dear, an Era that was never written in the depth of history, due to it being far beyond what history could take, within all this flashed the memory of a family that brought fear to all, the memory of a single bloodline that decided the fate of the past, the man's mind flashed with the greatness of the past.
In a time When the skies cried, where the world was on the edges of death, where fear ran rampant and death embraced all, there was one bloodline that held the cosmos, a single family that was lost and split as it gave its all to provide a path for the future,
'Sigh....with this bloodline back chaos will besiege the world again'
Finally, the man broke out of his thoughts as his mind returned to the present, he gazed at the orb one last look before which he crushed it into oblivion, his powers spread as he cut the lines of Karma and fate, finally accomplishing everything he sighed as his murmurs filled the world again,
"A Gravewalker...huh? looks like the age of turmoil will begin again....I wonder who would be lost this time?"
With that, the man closed his eyes, no longer paying any mind to the matters of the cosmos, he had a duty and he would be completing it till the end of time.

Xiao spoke as he fed some soup to Xunayin who opened her mouth and took a big bite of the food that was given to her, right now Xiao was feeding Xuanyin not knowing the numerous beings he had startled, well even if he did he wouldn't give any fuck about it.
Right now all he cared about was fulfilling the desires of his pouty little sister, he raised his hand as he wiped away some of the juice that spilled from her mouth, his sister who wasn't just happy with a hug as she requested him to feed her, Xiao didn't reject her as he directly accepted it and now he was filled with smiles as he fed her soup,
"So do you want anything to be added?"
"Oh? you want to be hotter?"
"I see your colds getting worse?"
"I see, don't worry, I already have a way to heal you, just wait for your big brother to save you"
With that he swept the spoon again as he fed his little sister with all the care he could, finally 10 minutes later he lay on the sofa, trying to relax his body, it was then that Xunayin came over as she sat above him, her eyes kept peering into his, question swirled within them,
"I already told you Yurou just awakened her powers and grew stronger, from now on she would be someone that would roam the world above with pride"
"How I feel about her?"
"I love her, you mustn't fight with her anymore, she's going to be your sister-in-law"
This time there was a difference in Xuanyin as her eyes shook a bit, with her connection she was able to feel the deep feelings within Xiao, it was deep and unfathomable, trying to break it would be almost impossible, for some reason Xunayin felt her heart squeeze, her cold apathetic heart felt anger burn deep within them.
This was the first time this had taken place but anger wasn't the only thing present, fear was mixed into it, fear that she would lose the one thing she loves, soon her cold burst forth from within her, this time it was wore than the past, Xiao who felt it didn't hesitate to clutch his little sister tighter as he transferred the cold to him.
Coldness swept into him, even with his cultivation taking this all in felt cold, plus the feeling of nails prickling his whole body filled him, he bit his lips as he used his connection to take a large portion of the pain within himself surprising Xuanyin who was in pain, she wanted to stop it but she didn't have any power to do it.
Soon minutes ticked by before which the cold finally withdrew, Xiao exhaled out as cold bursts escaped his mouth, he brought the purple flame out as the warmness surrounded them, the cold that surrounded them disappeared as the warm flame comforted both of them, Xuanyin seeing the flame had her eyes sparkle.
She who was the opposite of flame felt a regal and kingly aura from Xiao, moreover, the flame he was wielding didn't make her uncomfortable at all, normally she was repulsed by flames but this one just made her calm but she quickly moved her gaze to Xiao as she hit his chest with her small and smooth hands, her eyes bore into him.
She whispered her voice calm and lost, Xiao smiled as he caught her hand as his face turned serious even he had felt the sadness in Xuanyin, he could understand that she was afraid of losing him, for her who only interact with him, the thought of him going away surely would frighten her, he moved his hand as he rubbed her face and spoke.
"Xuanyin, I'm your brother, I'm not going anywhere, I will never abandon you, not now and not even in a million years, we are family, nothing that comes in between us will ever change it, remember there's nothing more important than family"
Xunayin stayed silent as she heard her big brother's words, her mind replayed all that she had been through before and she nodded her head, her arms wrapped around his shoulders, as her head found a place with his chest, Xunayin's eyes closed as she slept taking in the familiar warmth that was already taken a place deep within her heart.
