STRONG FROM BORN

Minister of War He had come out of the imperial capital of the sun realm. He saw the prince's face which was so cute and handsome. He kissed the prince who was still fast asleep though not on his biological parents' lap. 

"Prince you don't worry. I won't throw you away. I will raise you like my own son," Minister He said to the second prince who was still asleep in his arms.

"You and I have the same destiny. We were both banished because we were deformed. The difference between you and I is that you are of royal descent while I am just a young lord of a small tribe. But prince, don't worry, I'll take you somewhere to see your potential first, whether you're really an ordinary human who can't cultivate or not. I will do the same thing that the great master did to me. Hopefully, the universe temple will give me some hints and advice about you prince" said minister He to the second prince who couldn't even reply to his words.

"But how?"

"The prince is still a baby. His body won't be able to withstand the pressure of the outside world."

"Is it okay to put a living creature in the storage ring? I'll try it first." 

"Akh. That's not possible. The prince will die because there is no air in the storage ring" 

"What should I do?"

She mumbled to herself wondering what she would do to bring the prince to the universe temple. 

"Aha. I remember. The great master used to take me using the ability to move. He also taught me how." 

"Alright, let's try it. I just need to focus on where I want to go and then use natural energy to get there." 

Minister He said and pressed his index and middle fingers to his right forehead to focus his power to condense with natural energy and remember the place he wanted to visit.

Shuuuuuuut.... Minister He instantly moved to the place he wanted to go according to his wish. 

"Hah. Hah. Hah" he said breathlessly from using too much of his power 

"Crazy is really crazy. I didn't realize that using this moving technique requires so much energy" he said in a weakened state.

Minister He laid the second prince next to him on the earthen stone floor for a while then sat cross-legged trying to recover his strength by drinking elexir.

 "It's been a very long time since I've been here. The atmosphere in this place hasn't changed a bit. The air is fresh. The intense spiritual energy and the friendly nature. The waterfall that calms the heart and the sky that never gets dark. If only there were no restrictions on visiting this place I wouldn't want to leave here" he said after recovering his strength. 

"That's all right. I can't waste time on things that aren't important. There's no point in being nostalgic because this world has its own principles" he said and flew towards the Universe Temple. 

*

He was standing right in front of the door of the universe temple carved with the structure and order of the universe that exuded a majesty beyond words. A palace-shaped building with millions of domes that are bright gold in color with ornate moons and stars above the cube. And the multi-storey structure depicts each floor as having its own function and specialty and the owner of this temple is still a mystery to everyone. 

Minister He channeled all the Qi energy he had towards the door of the first floor temple to knock and awaken the temple. 

"Greetings Great Temple Grandfather" he greeted the temple. 

"How are you little He. You've come again. What business did you have to come here and wake me up?" asked the shrine of the universe.

"I'm sorry if I've disturbed the rest of the great temple grandfather" he said. 

"No problem little He," replied the Universal Shrine. 

"Thank you for your hospitality and kindness, Grandfather Temple." He said. 

"Yes. Yes. Now tell me what was your purpose in coming here and knocking on my door? There's no way you're just going to talk to me and say hello and leave, right? So just say it quickly, no need for pleasantries. You also know that you don't have much time in this world, right?" replied the universe temple firmly. 

"Alright grandfather temple. Actually I came here to ask for your help grandfather temple "said He

"What favor little He?" asked the Universal Shrine.

"This poor baby has the same fate as me. He was discarded by his parents for not having a special body and spiritual roots. Back when the great master brought me here, it was my grandfather who awakened the potential in me so that I could cultivate like the other cultivators until I reached this point." said He.

"So you want me to do the same for that baby?" asked the Universal Shrine.

"That's right, Grandfather Temple. I want you to awaken the latent potential in the second prince so that he can receive the affection and love of his parents, especially his mother the queen who loves and cares for him so much." He said persuading the universe temple. 

"Hah. I'm really sorry little He. I can't help you help that little baby to awaken the potential stored in him" said the universe temple

"What can't? Does that mean the second prince has no hope of becoming a cultivator? Is that possible, O great grandfather of the temple? He is a direct descendant of the Imperial Lord of the Great Sun Realm. How is it possible that he's just an ordinary human who can't cultivate?" He asked confused and disbelieving of the answer from the universe temple. 

"I can't, that doesn't mean there's no hope" replied the universe temple.

"Sorry grandfather temple, I don't understand what grandfather temple said at all" He said.

"Little He. The baby you brought has the highest physical body. I am not the right medium to help you awaken the potential within him. It's not that he has no hope. But because I am incapable and unworthy of doing that" replied the universe temple.

"Can you explain in more detail to your stupid little He? I'm really confused by your words great temple grandfather. How is it that you are not worthy to do that?" asked He with curiosity and even more confusion.

"That baby you brought has a more majestic and noble body than me. I am a universe temple created from the fragments of eternal chaos. Whereas that baby's body is the eternal body of chaos itself. So how can I awaken the potential in him when I am only the equivalent of the baby's skin?" explained the universe temple in a high tone. 

"Little He. You're forcing me to look down on myself," continued the universal temple. 

"Don't you understand yet?" asked the Universal Shrine. 

"I see, grandfather temple." he replied. 

"Huh? Wait for the Chaos Immortal Body? The supreme physical body? Does that mean the prince is very strong?" asked He again. 

"Yes little He, that's why I can't help you" replied the universe temple. 

"Yes. Yes. Yes. It turns out that my estimates and instincts are never wrong. Then is there no way grandfather temple?" asked He back to the universe temple 

"There is one way," replied the Universal Shrine. 

"What is grandfather temple?" He asked seriously and enthusiastically.

"World Tree Senior. Maybe he can provide help to the baby to unlock the potential within him. But I'm not sure if the World Tree Senior is willing to do so." said the universe temple. 

"World Tree" said He, surprised because he had never heard of it.

"Does it exist? Why haven't I heard of it? Is it like the grandfather of the universe temple or like a normal tree?" He asked. 

"Not having heard doesn't mean it doesn't exist. She is greater than me. He does not look like me, but is shaped like a normal tree. It's just that his size is very large and he is the regulator of the balance of every universe. In every twig and branch there are fruits of the world. Where one fruit of his world is one of the worlds you live in," explained the universe temple. 

"If it's the only way then I won't back down. I will go to see her" said He

Then walked away from the universe temple. But a few moments later he returned and realized where he had to find and meet the World Tree that the universe temple said.

"Ah. Hahahahaha. Sorry Grandfather Temple. I'm back again I want to ask where should I go if I want to meet the Great World Tree?" He asked while rubbing his own head in embarrassment

"Hahahahaha. You are indeed silly little He. You won't be able to meet him for the rest of your life." replied the universe temple. 

"Huh! Why is that?" asked He in confusion.

"Does the Great World Tree always move around?" he asked. 

"Hahahaha. Moving around? You think she can move from her place at will? If he did that then the entire world inside him would collapse and you wouldn't have a place to live in this universe," replied the universe temple. 

"You can't meet her because she is in a hidden place. If you want to meet her, then you must be able to connect with her" replied the universe temple. 

"How can I connect with her?" He asked back. 

"You must have met her at least once. If you have met her once then you can connect with her. But it also depends if she agrees or not to meet you" replied the universe temple 

"I've never even heard of her let alone met her. Then how can I get there and meet the Great World Tree Grandfather Temple?" He asked hopefully. 

"You don't have any way other than through me to meet her" replied the universal shrine 

"Oh my God. Instead of telling me earlier. This explanation makes my head spin." He said annoyed because he felt that he had been played by the universe temple. 

"Hahahaha. It's not that I didn't want to say. First you didn't listen to my explanation in detail and kept asking me useless questions. So don't blame me. I was just following your curiosity" replied the universe temple teasing his little He. 

Instantly the look on minister He's face changed drastically into a serious mode. Then he bowed before the Universal Shrine.

"O Great and Wise Grandfather of the Universal Shrine. I beg you to help me get there so that I can meet the Great World Tree" He pleaded pleadingly hoping that the universe temple would be willing to help him. 

"Alright, I'll send you there little He. I wish you luck and be welcomed by the Senior World Tree" said the universe temple. 

"Thank you Grandfather Temple" He replied with deep respect and gratitude.

Instantly the door in front of He changed and revealed the form of another realm

"Enter through this door with the baby. You will arrive directly in front of the senior World Tree" said the universe temple calling to He

"Yes, Grandfather Temple. I trust you" He said and stepped into the door of the universe temple which had changed to reveal another realm. 

*

Minister He arrived right in front of the enormous World Tree that was tall and exuded great spiritual dao. 

"Where is this? I can't see anything other than this endless tree trunk" he said after arriving and looking around him and up at the sky.

"Hey silly boy. Are you the one who wanted to meet me through the junior universe temple?" 

A voice that was clearly audible but invisible where it came from and who was speaking

"O Great World Tree Grandfather. Are you the one speaking?" asked He who was confused because he didn't see anyone.

"Yes, of course I am. Who else would it be? No one lives here but me" replied the World Tree. 

"Ah. Hahahaha. Greetings Great World Tree Grandfather" He greeted in all directions.

"I am in front of you. Why are you greeting me in all directions?" asked the World Tree.

"I'm sorry. I don't know Grandpa Tree at all," He replied innocently. 

"Then why do you call me grandfather?" asked the World Tree. 

"I call the Universe Temple Grandfather and you are the senior of Grandfather Temple. That means I should also call you Grandfather Tree." replied He innocently and ridiculously. 

"Hahahahaha. You're quite entertaining young man" said the World Tree. 

"Little He. Call me Little He. That's what Grandpa Temple calls me" replied He in a polite and familiar tone.

"Alright Little He. What favor do you need from me that you want to see me?" asked the World Tree.

"I want to ask Grandpa Tree for help in unlocking this poor baby's potential" He asked sincerely. 

"Why do you want to help that little baby so badly?" asked the World Tree. 

"Because I feel sorry for him. His fate is worse than mine. He was just born but had already been thrown away by his father because he was considered a jinx for not having a special body and divine spiritual roots. As for me. I was discarded as an adult for not having cultivation. So in a way I still feel the affection of my mother and father while this little prince doesn't feel any affection and love at all" He explained in a sad tone in order to convince the World Tree. 

"Hahaha. So because you feel the same way. Your attitude shows that you have a deep heart and love. You're even better than the newborn's father. But I need to tell you that this baby is not trash like you said. Although he currently looks like an ordinary human baby. But his body is a supreme physical body that has never existed before." replied the World Tree. 

"So what did the real shrine grandfather say? This little prince has a chaos immortal body" said He 

"Yes. That's why I can't help her either. The only one who can help this baby is herself. I, the universe temple let alone you, will not be able to do anything to this body. She does not need any spiritual roots. He doesn't need to cultivate either. His cultivation will increase as he grows older. Because inside his body, there are 1 trillion dantian suprames that have not been awakened," the World Tree explained to He. 

"But he still needs to be taken care of and nurtured by someone because he is still a baby and cannot grow and eat on his own" she continued 

"So that's it. It's a pity that this little prince was abandoned by his father. Should I take him back to his father and explain this?" He asked. 

"If you go back and explain this to his father. Then there will be two possibilities. First his father will not believe what you say. Second. He believes your words but the child will become an easy meal for his father who might want to have his chaos immortal body and the dantian suprame that this baby has" replied the World Tree explaining.

"If that's the case, I'd better raise this little prince" He said. 

"Yes that is the best you can do right now for him little He" replied the World Tree. 

"At what age will the strength of this little prince be awakened grandfather tree and why until now does my little prince seem to be sleeping so soundly? If this continues how can I raise him? How will I know if he's hungry, peed or pooped if he's sleeping and not crying? Doesn't a baby communicate through its cries?" He asked in confusion as the little prince he was with had never cried since he brought him from the sun realm empire.

"His strength will rise at an uncertain time. But it will be awakened depending on the circumstances" replied the World Tree. 

"He does not cry because his chaos immortal body is comfortable wherever he is. No nature dares to disturb her and no force of law can limit her. She will wake up when she is hungry, thirsty, pisses and poops. But you don't need to worry I will help you make him cry when he is hungry, thirsty, pisses and poop" explained the World Tree.

"How?" asked He seriously. 

"I will infuse my world tree essence into his body, so that he cries when he is hungry, thirsty, wants to pis and poop. Because when those conditions occur, her channels will open and my essence will enter and hurt her a little to make her cry." replied the World Tree.

"Alright then. Please help Grandpa Tree" sura pleaded sincerely. 

The World Tree began to channel its essence into the little baby's body by touching the baby's forehead with the tip of the world tree's branch which made the baby wake up and seem to reject the world tree's treatment. However, the resistance did not last long and the little baby began its initial activity of falling back into a deep sleep. 

"I have channeled the essence of my body into him. From now onwards it will be your duty to raise and protect your little prince," said the World Tree. 

"Alright grandpa Tree. I thank you very much for the help you have given me. I may not be able to repay this kindness" He said with great respect.

"No problem, you don't need to thank me because I didn't do anything. But if you want to thank me. Then my request is to take care of that baby. Take care of it and protect it and educate it with kindness so that it does not destroy the order of this universe. Because if you educate him in the wrong way, then the baby will be a disaster for the order of this universe," pleaded the World Tree. 

"Good grandfather tree. Then where am I going to take my little prince?" asked He again. 

"I will send you to a remote underworld where you can take care of him and raise him without interference that could threaten his safety" said the World Tree. 

"Alright grandfather tree. Then, once again I ask for your help" He pleaded. 

The World Tree touched little He's forehead with the tip of his branch and was sent to the remote underworld where the spiritual level in that realm was very thin.
