It has been a year since William has been reborn.
William was currently inside a golden palace, seated between an extremely beutiful couple.
The beautiful lady to his right side was his mother was 'Himeragi van arch', the matriach of the sange clan.
The handsome and develish man left to him was his father, 'Noah von sange', the patriarch of the sange clan.
His current name was 'William von sange'.
Whenever he heard of the name, a feeling of nostalgia came from the depths of his heart.
William was slowly learning about the world, about the powers outside from his parents conversations.
Although william wanted to learn more about this world, he was not allowed to go out of the heavenly palace.
Although there was a library inside the heavenly palace, he was currently only '1 year old' in the eyes of other.
But....
William did not mind wasting his time by relaxing line this, because, be was reciving a lot of love from hai parents.
The love was enough to even fulfill the void left behind from his previous life.
The slowly passed, and William soon reached the age of 7.
Age of five was considered the age of awakening.
Normal people would do it with an awakening crystal, but the sange clan does it with their ancestral faith power.
The childern at the age of seven were being sent to the ancestral hall.
As soon as William stepped it kt rh ancestral hall, a feelingof joy came from the depths of his heart.
The feeling was as of a child has finally returned to the embrace of his mother.
Waking out of the stupor, William gazed around.
The elders of the clan were in the hall, with their chairs touching the walls.
There was a centre elevated chair in the centre, with williams mother and father sitting in it.
The children were patiently waiting for the clan ancestors to arrive.
The clan ancestors would use their life span as sacrifice to summon out the spirit of the previous patriachs.
The clan ancestors that participated in this ritual were all on their death beds, no longer able to contribute to the clan.
They sacrifice their blood qi to summon the spirits fo the previous patriachs as their final contribution to the clan.
Soon, the clan ancestors arrrived.
The children that hoped to have a great talent watched in bated breath as the event happened.
But...
they didn't realise the situation.
Not that we can blame them, afterall, they are only 7 years old.
The clan ancestors surrounded the crystal and move iltheir hands in complex ways.
The energy in the surroundings flowed towards them in a rapid pace.
The crystal glew brightly as the a figure started appearing.
The clan ancestors body was slowly being turned to dust, but the figure solidified before they were disintegrated.
A man with long silver hair and wine red eyes appeared before the whole audiance.
Seeing the man, the whole place suddenly quietened.
The clan ancestors were trembling with joy as they shouted.
"We have managed to see the founder, we can pass on without any more regrets."
"To think we would be able to gaze at his divine form while still alive..."
As the murders spread, the ancestral spirit looked around with a curiosity glint.
For some reason, it felt uncannily familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
As William was thinking, the ancestral spirits gazefell on Williams father, Noah von sange.
Noah immediately went on one knee saying,
"Descendant Noah greets founder Asmodeus"
William finally understood the reason behind everyone's emotions.
It seems that thaj man they was summoned was the founder of the sange clan.
He was Asmodeus von sange, the Demonic god of destruction.
Judging from the reaction of the calm ansceastors, he was summoned for the first time.
Asmodeus didn't react as he slowly walked in my direction.
The people around William tensed.
The person that got into Asmodeus's notice would have the greatest chanse of becoming the next patriach.
Asmodeus's steps finally stopped before william, he slowly opened his mouth to speak.
"Talents__
Physique - celastial demons heavenly physique.
Bloodline - Ancient demonic gods bloodline.
Soul - primordial gods phantasmal soul"
As soon as he finished speaking, he touches williams forehead, sending some energy into william.
William felt something crack inside him and...
Fell unconscious.
__after some time__
William groggily opened his eyes, he didn't know how much time had passed, but, the seal in him was broken.
His encounter with Asmodeus, learning and mastering techniques, all the memories slowly came back to him.
His personality also mellowed out, becoming cold and closed.
Suddenly, a smile appeared on his face, 'it seems that I am reborn as your descendant, Asmodeus'
William slowly digestd the memories.
As soon as he completely digested the memories, he started looking around.
He saw his father, Noah, looking back at him with a solemn expression.
Noah opened his mouth to speak, "you have the exact same talents as the founder of the clan.."
"All thake are so powerful that only 1 person was allowed to hold them a t a point of time..."
"You having the talent means that..., the founder has fallen"
Although William expected it he still felt sad that Asmodeus is no more.
Seeing Williams downcast expression, Noah sighed and said,
"It isn't your fault that the founder had fallen, it's just that you are the confirmation of it.."
"You just have to become as strong as the founder to be able to fil the gap left by him."
William nodded his head.
He slowly moved out of the bed and started to walk through the garden.
As William was walking, he thought, 'it was time to start my own plans'
As William was organising his own future plans,he bumped into his mother.
Himeragi looked at her child and said, "I am also on my way to meet you.."
"Dyr to your talent, the clan organized a banquet and adopted 3000 female orphans.."
"You can choose one of them as your maid..."
"Make sure to choose one with talent, as she would fallow you for the rest of your life.."
Before William could speak, Himeragi dragged william to the banquet hall.
In the banquet hall, 3000 female orphans were seated.
Theywere all around 5-6year old.
One of the elders were giving out a speech.
Seeing william arrive, the clan leader stopped his speech, allowing William to speak.
William opened ed his mouth and spoke,
"I have been allowed to select one of you as a maid, I will select based on your talent.."
As soon as William spoke, his eyes started glowing in a purple glow.
Those little girl's talents were talents revealed to him.
Williams gaze stopped ona particular girl.
The girl had a short black hair, with the pupils taking a golden hue.
William points at her and said, "you, the girl with black hair and golden eyes,what is your name?"
The girl was stunned before shakily replying, "m-my name is so-sophia"
William nodded and replied "Well then sophia, you are my personal maid fro today onwards"
After saying what he was red to say, William turned back and started going back.
Sophia also started following him.
William finally completed his plan.
After reaching back home, William took out a paper and started listing down the materials.
By the time the list was finished, sophia arrived at his own room.
William called sophia in and handed her the materials list, saying,
"Hand this list to one of the elders, I need the materials in them by tomarrow morning."
Sophia nodded, william sat down and started meditating.
He cannot start cultivation since he need to condense the dao runes before that.
Condensing dao runes here would alert a lot of people, which william certainly didn't want to happen.
Soon, the next day came.
The materials were delivered to him.
William went to the forging hall.
All the people ont tg way greeted william, for which he nodded in return.
The elder incharge also didn't stop william as he thought,
'it seems that he is thing it is easy to forge, well, we need to give him some setbacks as to not make him overconfident'
As you amy ask, when did William learn forging?
One of the techniques that William chose, the nine heavens mystical art was a technique related to creation.
Since he already masterd it, there is no need for him to practice it again.
Soon, William started the forging process.
The materials were slowly consumed, creating the weapons.
The weapons William was creating is of white rank.
They were the lowest rank weapons.
White->red->orange->yellow->green->blue-> violet->black->uncommon....
The weapons were only of white rank, but the power exhibited was somthingevne some blue rank weapons were not capable of.
Soon, the 1001 weapons stood sparkingly informt of William.
Now it was time for him to move to the second part of the first step.
