When the God of Space and Exploration emerged, the basic rules of this entire world were close to perfection.
15 gods, from material, soul, civilization and space, merged their divine powers into every corner of this world, assimilating this world into the world of gods, like using divine powers to turn Maria’s world into a huge, perfect divine kingdom.
And the next god, was the god guarding lust. All souls of lives had their own endings. Vanishing into the origin of the world, Star Kingdom, or Hell.
Nevertheless, as long as they existed, they sent out power of their consciousness every moment. Kind and happy, greedy and evil or faithful believes.
That was the only thing the current divine system was not covering. When the last part was covered, the divine system was then completed perfected, and the world shall have the god that could elevate it in the end.
However, it was not easy to find the seed of god which could control, restrain and bear all lusts. The secret of souls was the most unpredictable and amazing of all rules. It was a god which could not be made or affected by Lu Zhiyu by force.
The play on stage was magnificent. Project spells had made the scenes unexpectedly grand. Boundary visons made all audience feel not sitting in the theatre, but in the actual plot. The Charm of Sound made the voices of actors full of emotions, making all teary and touched.
The alchemy equipment and spells used to perfect the details were shocking. It was wind raven Black Jack, the level six magical beast, who combines the massive spells, props and boundaries together. One had to admit, just like Black Jack said, it was a great production. No other theatre could hire a level six professional.
Lu Zhiyu sat under the stage, watching the musical Judgement Day ended in Black Jack Grand Theatre. All actors sent their regards, all audience stood up to applaud. The read curtain closed as the musical ended.
The light dimmed off, the grand theatre emptied as the performance ended.
“Thud!” A beam of light appeared in the darkness!
Wind raven Black Jack finished his narration and directing work, flew out with the light beam, hovered over the theatre, and landed on the should of Lu Zhiyu.
Black Jack tiptoed, spread out its wings as if it was still hearing the musical. It spun and danced with its eyes closed.
It said, “Ah! Such passionate performance! Everyone on the stage let out their happiness and sorrow! Everyone under the stage moved with their happiness and sorrow, sometimes remembering, sometimes sad, or even full of regret! Such success! Great performance!”
Lu Zhiyu looked to the stage with curtains closed and said, “That’s true, a great performance!”
Lu Zhiyu stood up, walked out of the theatre and said, “If we ever meet again, I wish to ask your opinion of this world!”
Lu Zhiyu walked out of the theatre. Crowds walked past each other on the square. Lu Zhiyu took out a bead and put it in the front of his eye.
It was a glass bead which fitted perfectly in one’s palm. When Lu Zhiyu held it, it was completely transparent. Lu Zhiyu looked through the bead, he could see the fluctuations coming from all consciousness and souls on the square.
The golden happiness, red anger, grey sorrow, black pain. Colors on one was not just one, but many entangled. All could be seen through this bead. All outlines of souls and consciousness shone bright colors in this bead.
“The Bead of Lust? Maybe the Bead of Souls suits your better! Go, find your owner!”, said Lu Zhiyu.
Lu Zhiyu marched forward, let his hand fell naturally. The Bead of Souls fell on the square. The transparent bead rolled in the trenches and ditches to the distant.
A female priest in white robe holding a stack of documents was walking to the main divine palace in the center. She saw the bead on the ground and then looked to Lu Zhiyu.
“Sir! You dropped… dropped something!”, she said.
Before she could finish her sentence, a giant portal opened before Lu Zhiyu. Lu Zhiyu walked into the portal, vanished in front of her eyes. She stopped in the middle of her sentence and took a moment to finally finish her sentence.
“On my god!”, shouted the female priest.
She had never seen anyone opened a portal with no other support. Only god, a tru god could do such thing in her eyes.
“Did I just see a god? Is today my lucky day?”, said she.
After quite a while, Dana remembered, there was a bead at her feet. She picked up the bead in thrill and said, “Is this the blessing from a god?”
The moment she picked up the Bead of Souls, golden lights shone within. Dana seemed to see herself in the bead, her future and everything she wanted.
She built the city of the God of Space and Exploration in her home town. Under the mountains, poor, remote villages transformed into affluent cities of magic crystals. Portals were built in the palaces of god. She, and her children were on the newest steam locomotive, travelling on the fields, around the wheat fields.
“So beautiful!”, said Dana. She awakened from the wonderful dream after a long time. The scenes may not mean anything to another, but they were the deepest desire in her heart.
Dana put the beat away carefully. Though she did not know the purpose of this bead, she knew that, it was nothing common.
After Dana finished the registration and report work as a priest of the God of Space and Exploration, she immediately became an official priest after she went back. Everything went smoothly after, she became a great priest who was in charge of the area.
Her application of building the city of faith of god and going back to her hometown was approved. Everything was the same as what she saw that day in the bead. It was like there was a force, helping her wishes and goals come true, completing everything she wished for and dreamed, building a lively city.
In her late years, she told her story to her child, and left the Bead of Souls to her.
Anyone who held the Bead of Souls could see their deepest desire in the bear. And the Bead of Souls helped them to achieve their deepest desires.
The tale of the Pearl of Dana spread out. A magic bead which could make wishes come true, answer any wishes deep inside one’s hear. The almighty wishing machine, that’s how people called it. However, it would not answer anyone’s wishes, it could only sense the deepest, most real desire in you. And most did not truly know what they wanted.
Some wanted immortality, but actually wanted a happy life. Some wanted great power for revenge but killed the energy and rewarded with a true love instead. Some chased after truth, but ended up with true love, and lived calmly in fields.
Tales about the Pearl of Dana were passed in the world, turning into beautiful myths, attracting all longing and yearning. However, the harder you tried to find it, the less possible you shall find it, or its track.
Everything started insane searches of the pearl. However, it had no one owner. When someone found it, it showed their deepest desire. When their wished came true, it vanished.
Time flew. Passing through different hands, it left behind endless tales, but still in search of its true owner.
