After that Rex to his own place, under the mango tree on a chair.
The afternoon sun filtered through the thick leaves above him, casting scattered shadows on the ground.
A gentle breeze carried the sweet smell of ripe mangoes and the distant sounds of his family talking inside the house.
Once seated he said in his mind, “Alice, open the observation” Rex focused his attention on the capital.
In front of his eyes, he saw the sandbox.
After Saffa’s departure Amal began to help his father in managing the empire.
He was the publicly acknowledged holy son of the empire.
He was the disciple of the Creator’s Apostle himself, the strongest human in existence, and the symbol of humanity’s hope.
He began preparation to train the empire.
With Amal personally taking charge, he established the first martial arts academy in the empire.
Martial artist were being trained in large numbers.
Standing in the main hall of the newly established academy, Archon looked at his son Amal and asked, “Are you sure?
Spreading your knowledge like this might have huge risks.” “There is risk in everything.
Master came here on the orders of the Great Creator because humanity was weak, too weak.
He came here to make us stronger.
If I keep the knowledge to myself then how can the humans grow stronger.” Amal said without hesitation.
He carried the aura of a true master.
The once naïve child was now mature enough.
By now he was known as the martial master of the academy.
He taught every student of the academy at least once.
He was respected like no one.
To the students of the academy, he was not only a king’s son but also a living legend.
Archon looked at his son with pride, but concern still lingered in his eyes, “What will you do when someone riots using the martial knowledge and strength as weapon?” Amal was silent for a moment.
Knowledge was a double-edged sword and human heart was unfathomable.
His father’s worries were not without reason.
He replied after a moment of silence, “It took me 10 years to reach the human limit even with the creator’s blessings.
You could only imagine how hard it will be for others.” Archon sighed, placed a hand on his shoulder and said, “You should prepare yourself.
I will soon pass on the throne to you.
The future of the empire lies in your hands.
My only wish or you can say my only hope for you is that don’t let the creator down.” Saying this Archon turned around and left.
Amal stood there silently.
He looked up at the statue of the Great Creator at the far end of the hall, below it was a small statue of Saffa, and bowed deeply.
“I will not disappoint you, Master.” Outside the sandbox Rex saw everything.
The things Amal did satisfied him.
Such a step was very important for the people of the sandbox to grow stronger.
“Alice, activate time acceleration.” [DING, 500 POINTS DEDUCTED] [TIME ACCELERATION ACTIVATED] At once everything began to move like fast forwarded movie.
Days passed in the blink of an eye.
Archon abdicated the throne and Amal was crowned as the king.
People of the empire gave him the name of ‘Holy Martial Emperor’ on his crowning ceremony.
That title spread throughout the world.
Amal accepted the crown with solemn eyes.
Under his leadership, the empire entered a golden age.
Martial academies were established in every province, martial arts and agriculture improved hand in hand.
He led his people with the knowledge he gained from his teacher.
But the human hearts is never predictable.
Under the rising empire, some people harbored greed and ambition.
They gathered followers and secretly formed powerful factions.
They learned from Amal the way of martial arts and they began to expand their group planning to revolt, to seize power for themselves.
Just as the former king, Archon had predicted, chaos erupted within the empire five years into Amal’s rule.
Several cities fell into rebellion as corrupt officials allied with ambitious officials.
The capital was attacked soon.
The first civil war in history took place under Amal’s rule.
The rebels had surrounded him and Amal was almost on the verge of death.
The strongest rebel them stepped forward.
“Holy Son?
Chosen by the Creator?
Let us see if your Creator comes to save you.” Amal gripped his sword tightly.
He looked up at the sky.
He thought of his master and felt like he had disappointed him, “Master, in the end I’m not you.
I couldn’t do something for you to be proud of.” At the very moment of death, Amal at the age of 31 broke through the final barrier and entered the 1st stage of potential.
The barrier inside him shattered like glass, pushing him towards the extraordinary stage.
His strength increased by huge margin.
A terrifying aura erupted from him, terrifying the rebels.
In a single night, he killed every rebel with his own hands.
When the sun rose, the rebellion had ended, Amal stood standing with blood all over his body.
After the empire was restored to peace he established the bureau of discipline to monitor the officials, and the public safety bureau for public complaints and crisis.
Rex saw everything and nodded from time to time.
Saffa returned after dropping Alpha to Rex’s grandma’s house.
Rex looked at him but didn’t say anything just kept watching the sandbox.
Saffa stood silently behind him.
Just like that, the master and subordinate silently watched the sandbox together.
Inside the sandbox after doing all of this, Amal finally decided to marry under his father’s multiple attempts.
He refused multiple times but eventually agreed.
The news spread across the empire like wildfire.
The entire capital was decorated to celebrate the grand occasion.
The woman chosen by the Archon to wed his son, now the king, Amal was the 2nd daughter of the Royal army.
There was a rumor among the common people that the day she was born the sky showed divine signs, proving that the creator blessed the girl.
She was famous unparalleled beauty and grace, among the common people she was known as the ‘Pearl of Archilies’.
Outside the sandbox, Rex was amused by this, as he never did that.
Saffa looked at this scene with little to no emotion.
At their wedding, Rex decided to play a little.
“Alice, show my projection in the sky above the kingdom at the moment they bow towards the heaven.
And activate voice transmission.” [COMMAND ACCEPTED] The wedding was held at the Platform of Heaven’s Mercy.
This was the holiest place in the empire.
Holding the wedding at the platform of heaven’s was the greatest honor one could receive in the empire.
As the king and the holy son personally named by the creator naturally made him worthy of this honor.
Inside the sandbox, Alan stood like a tall warrior in a wedding attire.
The king who defeated the entire rebel army alone had a faint blush on his face at this moment.
A girl can be seen ascending the stairs of the platform of heaven’s mercy.
Holding her hand was the grand elder of her family.
Nobles, generals, scholars and citizens surrounded the platform.
At the foot of the statue on the platform of heaven’s mercy, an emcee stood in grand attire.
Holding a book containing the greatness of the creator, now known as the genesis, which is said to hold the truth of humanity.
He looked ahead and solemnly told the story of Rex’s works in the sandbox, then looked at the crowd, “By the grace of the Great Creator, we have the peace we see today and on such peaceful times we have gathered to witness the wedding of the ‘Holy Son’ and the ‘Pearl of Archilies’.
Please step forward.” “By the witness of the Creator you both shall pledge your life to each other regardless of status, power, age or any other external or internal matters” At the end, the emcee said, “Now before the Great One, bow down towards the heavens that symbolize the Creator’s all encompassing vision.” As Amal and his wife bowed towards the heaven, the sky parted ways; even in day light everyone could see clearly, a face that couldn’t be seen because of the golden radiance.
Only the upper body seen.
Upon witnessing this scene everyone knelt down, they would recognize this figure even with their eyes closed.
The creator had shown up.
A wave of shock swept across the empire.
The emcee was stupefied.
He understood that this wedding would go down the history as a legend.
Rex looked at everyone’s reaction calmly; he looked directly at the newlyweds and said, “Amal your achievements have satisfied me greatly.” “I give you my blessings, may your life be filled with beautiful flowers.
From now your health and your wife’s health is my responsibility.” Amal and his wife, Sufia, looked at Rex’s projection in the sky.
Unknowingly their eyes were filled with tears.
The entire empire witnessed this and the shock to their hearts was unexplainable.
The creator himself took the responsibility of their health, what an honor is that.
“Take this as my gift for your wedding.” Saying this Rex used the system to purchase a flower that will never die and tossed it inside the sandbox The flower descended slowly from the sky, glowing with soft golden light landing gently on Sufia’s head.
The eternal flower shone like a jewel.
Sufia instinctively touched the flower and felt a warm current enter her body.
The warm current not only made her comfortable but also swept away all her fatigue.
Tears flowed down her cheeks as she and her newlywed husband Amal knelt deeply, “Thank you, Great Creator.” The entire empire bowed down along with them, thanking the Creator.
Every person understood that they had just witnessed another legend that will be remembered throughout the ages.
