STRONG FROM BORN

Minister He and his little prince were sent to a remote underworld in the Milky Way galaxy. In the land of nowhere right on a hill overgrown with trees filled with green moss.

"I He Lagus Minister of War of the Sun Realm Empire promise to raise you my little prince. Since your father the Emperor named you Sura and I will raise you. So I will name you He Sura" he swore. 

"Hahahahahaha" laughed out loud inside the mountains that didn't know its name. 

He Lagus continued to walk along the mountains and hoped to find a village to settle down in. But along the way he only met wild animals, monsters and annoying demons. He walked further and further down the mountain and finally his efforts were not in vain. He found a large and sturdy-looking building. Hoping for an occupant. 

Tuk-tuk-tuk the sound of knocking on the door 

He Lagus knocked on the door repeatedly but no one answered, let alone opened the door. That made He Lagus push the door and instantly it collapsed and broke one side. 

He Lagus entered the gate and saw that the building inside was even worse. There was not a single occupant apart from the insects and mosquitoes and spiders that infested the top and walls of the house. 

The house looked large but was decrepit. The outside floor was cracked and the roof was leaking and partially collapsed. The walls of the house were cracked and the supporting poles were rotten. However, the natural conditions in the house were quite good because there were trees whose fruits were edible. 

"That's all right. I'll just stay here with my little prince. I don't need to search the countryside. I think this house is also enough to raise my little prince," he muttered. 

He Lagus placed the second prince on a table outside the house. He began to repair the house as best he could. It was a coincidence that he still kept the building tools from when he was still at war to make camp barracks. 

He Lagus began to cut down trees around the outside of the house fence to make building materials that he would use to renovate the house so that it was suitable for living in. After finishing renovating the house, he began to organize the house and all the necessities to make it look like a normal residence. He Lagus also did not forget to make a water channel so that it flows to the house. 

After the house preparations were complete. He Lagus continued to hunt and pick some plants and fruits in the forest for consumption by him and the little prince. This became his daily routine in caring for and raising his foster child with love and affection. 

Since taking care of her foster child sura. Lagus feels that his life is perfect and filled with happiness, laughter and fun at the attitude and silliness shown by sura. Sura's wisdom, intelligence and curiosity masked his longing for his family who had abandoned him. She feels sura is her destiny and the one she must prioritize. Sura received full affection from his foster father He Lagus. So sura never asked who his mother was? Where are the rest of his family? Why are there only the two of them? And Sura also never planned to leave his father to get to know the outside world. For Sura, his father and their home and daily activities were his world.

*** 15 Years Later ***

"Father Lagus. Today I am 15 years old" said sura to his father lagus.

"Yes, my son. So what?" asked his father Lagus

"You promised to teach me all the techniques you have, didn't you?" said Sura, reminding his father of his promise 10 years ago. 

"Ah. Hahahaha. Well my son. I guess you don't remember that promise" replied his father Lagus. 

"Of course I remember father. I also want to be strong like you. You always tell me all your experiences and life stories before I was born. So I also want to be like you. Kill enemies and protect the weak," said Sura with an innocent heart.

"Ah. Hahahaha. My hero, my little prince. I'm glad you said that. But before that I want to ask you something," said Lagus. 

"What do you want to ask me?" sura asked his father lagus. 

"Son, have you been able to feel your dantian power?" asked He Lagus. 

"Dantian power? What is it dad?" asked sura back

"Dantian is the source of human energy and strength. Dantian is the place to cultivate and store the deep Qi energy that a cultivator possesses. But if it was an ordinary cultivator, he might have to start from opening his dantian to cultivate and flow Qi energy. But you are different, son," Lagus explained to his foster son Sura.

"I see, father. But I don't feel anything inside me" sura replied.

"That's fine if you don't feel anything yet. But before I teach you everything I know. I have to tell you a story about you, son" said He Lagus seriously.

"The story of me?" asked Sura confused.

"Well my little prince" replied He Lagus. 

"What about my story?" asked Sura.

"The story of your mother and father and your brother" replied Lagus. 

"Mother, father, brother? Isn't Lagus' father my father? What is mom? And who is my brother?" asked Sura. 

"Son I am not your real father. You are a prince, the second son of the Emperor of the Sun Realm. I'm just a servant who serves my master's orders to take you from birth and raise you son" explained Lagus. 

"In the realm of the sun, children born as twins are taboo, and inevitably one of them must be eliminated" said Lagus making excuses so that Sura would not blame his father and mother too much. 

"What? Then what about my mother? Did she also agree to my father's will to throw me away? Why was I thrown away? Why just me? Why wasn't my brother banished? You're saying this because you want to upset me, right?" asked Sura incredulously with a sad and sad face.

"Son, listen to me. Although I am not your biological father, you are my life, and my first priority. I never thought of you as a stranger. To me you are my world. You believe me, right?" asked lagus persuading sura who was already sitting weakly while sobbing.

"I trust you dad. I know you love me so much. But why did you have to tell me that I'm not your biological son? You shouldn't have to tell me that. Do you no longer want me like my real mother and father? They even threw me away when I was born into this world," said Sura, crying bitterly.

"Am I a bad child, Father? Am I such a useless person that mom and dad dumped me? Why me? Why not him?" asked Sura while crying bitterly. 

Lagus approached his foster son and hugged him.

"My little prince, your mom and dad just had to. What's the difference between you and her. If she had been banished, she would have said the same thing as you. Your parents had to make a hard choice" Lagus explained. 

"Then what made my mom and dad choose to throw me away instead of my brother?" Sura asked back in a disappointed tone.

"I don't know, son. Whatever it was, they must have had a strong reason and had to make a tough choice," Lagus replied, reassuring his foster child.

"Alright dad, I trust you. I won't blame anyone. Maybe it's my destiny like that," said Sura. 

"Now that's my tough little prince," said Lagus, wiping away the tears of his favorite foster son. 

"Never mind. My little prince wants to be strong, doesn't he? If my little prince is strong, he can definitely come back and prove to your father and mother that they have made the wrong decision," said Lagus encouraging his foster son Sura.

"Hm" nodded Sura with grace and chivalry.

"But I don't want to prove anything dad. I also don't need the two of them who have abandoned me. I just want to be a useful person for others like you taught me all this time. If people are happy to be by my side, that's enough for me," said Sura encouraging himself. 

"Good boy, that's my son. Okay, are you ready?" He Lagus asked Sura.

"Ready father" He Sura replied 

"Son, I'm going to insert my soul memories into you. I ask you to relax yourself and not give any resistance. If you are surprised in the slightest, then you will kill your father instantly" explained He Lagus.

"Ha? Did I ever hurt my father?" asked Sura confused because he felt he had never hurt his father. 

"Never. But when you were 3 years old I tried to check your physical condition. But your body reacted spontaneously and gave a resistance that made my cultivation drop by one level," He Lagus explained to his son.

"I'm sorry father. I'm so sorry," said Sura sadly.

"Hohoho. My gentle and kind son. You don't need to be so sad, son. You have done nothing wrong. Let's get started!" exclaimed Lagus to his son.

"Yes father" replied sura 

"I will begin." 

"Hm" nodded sura

He Lagus began to concentrate his soul qi as his index and middle fingers touched sura's forehead to enter sura's spiritual ocean. 

"Son, relax. I told you from the beginning that you should not rebel and fight back" said He Lagus as he sensed resistance from within sura. 

"Sorry father" he replied 

Sura began to concentrate and calm himself who was initially tense because he felt entered by his father's warm energy.

"Is this my son's spiritual sea? It's amazing. Your spiritual sea state is so vast. It can't even be called a spiritual sea, it's more like a continent, no the continent is too small, I can't even see its end. Where is the core of this spiritual sea?" murmured He Lagus inside sura's spiritual sea, seeing his son's spiritual sea so vast and endless despite being 15 years old.

"Son, do you hear your father?" called He Lagus from within sura's spiritual sea. 

"Father I can hear you" sura replied from outside. 

"I can't find the core of your spiritual sea. This spiritual sea is too vast" said He Lagus. 

"What should I do dad" asked sura confused because he had no idea what to do and could only hear his father's voice in his mind. 

"Son try to think of something or try to imagine your father in your mind. Maybe that will help me to find the core of your spiritual ocean" explained He Lagus. 

"Okay dad" sura replied 

Sura then concentrated on thinking of his father standing in his mind.

"Instantly a giant figure similar to his father appeared from the spiritual sea of sura. The figure was extremely formidable strong and authoritative. The body of the spiritual sea that appeared had the same appearance as He Lagus but there were nine sun-shaped flying spheres circling behind the spiritual body. 

"Wow. Great," said He Lagus, amazed by the appearance in front of him.

"So this is what I look like to you, my little prince. You exalt your father so much." He said because he saw the figure that appeared before him was so majestic and authoritative.

"One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten" he said counting the sun-shaped sphere behind the spiritual body.

"But what the hell is the Dongtian behind it. Ten Sun Dongtians. I even only have 3 ordinary world dongtians. Boy you really are a monster. It looks like what Grandfather Temple and Grandfather Tree said was true. It's a pity you were banished by your father the emperor. If he knew you were a monster. He wouldn't have thrown you away. I don't know who instigated the emperor to throw away a celestial blessing like you and said you were just a body of trash. Well never mind, it's in the past anyway" He Lagus murmured feeling amazed by the talent possessed by sura and deeply regretting the emperor's decision of sura's biological father for making such a careless decision. 

He Lagus began to slowly infuse all the knowledge and abilities he had into the spiritual body that appeared within the sura's spiritual sea. But moments later the spiritual body sucked all of He Lagus' memories forcibly and uncontrollably. All his knowledge and abilities had been sucked in but the spiritual body continued to suck blindly and uncontrollably which made He Lagus forcibly cut off his soul from the sura spiritual sea. 

"Uhuk-uhuk-uhuk" He Lagus coughed as he was affected by the suction from the sura's spiritual sea.

"What's wrong father?" asked sura 

"Stay focused, son. Concentrate on what I've given you. Absorb and understand everything slowly. Don't push yourself too hard to understand it quickly. There is no need to worry about Father. Dad will recover by himself" explained He Lagus so that sura did not stop his activities in absorbing all the abilities he had given to his little prince. 

"Okay dad" said sura and continued to slowly absorb and understand all the abilities and knowledge given by his father. 

"Son, listen to me carefully. You've pretty much absorbed and mastered what I've given you. You're not like father and other cultivators. You don't need to cultivate and absorb the power of nature. Because you can use this natural power as you please. Father will leave you. Focus on your absorption. Father is only leaving to recuperate. You don't need to worry about Father. I'll come back when I've recovered. I've put up barriers and barriers in this house. That barrier will be gone for the next 2 years. So I suggest you have to absorb and master what I give you before 2 years" explained He Lagus. 

"Okay dad" replied sura still in his position. 

"Father left this storage ring for you. When you are done absorbing. Then pour some of your spiritual qi into this storage ring so that you can use this ring. You can store anything and take it out anytime as you wish. But do not store living beings into the ring. If you do, it's the same as killing it" He Lagus explained to his foster child sura.

He Lagus left sura in the house with the excuse of wanting to recuperate. In reality, he had to do that because he didn't want to disobey his master, the Sun Realm Emperor. Even though it was hard, he had to do it so that sura could live independently and be able to find himself. 

"Forgive your father, son. I must leave you. I can't keep protecting you. If you stay with me, you won't be able to find your true self" he said while looking at sura from a distance with tears of sadness in his eyes.

"I am still the minister of war of the sun realm empire after all. I will be considered a traitor if I do not return to the empire. If you count the time I left, I should have only been gone for 15 days" he muttered as he flew away from planet Earth. 

He Lagus returned to the imperial court using the shifting technique. He thought that his recovery would be faster if he did it in the Sun Realm Empire. 

Sura was still absorbing and mastering all the abilities given to him by his father. 

"So this is what it feels like to be strong. So this is my spiritual sea. Like father said, it's so vast. I can't even see the end of it. But here I can move around as I wish. I can even see all of dad's memories" murmured Sura in the spiritual sea.

He tried to see his father's memories

"You turned out to be a very good person. You deliberately hid this from me so that I wouldn't hate my parents. Thank you father Lagus. Thank you, Mom, for loving me even though I had no power to oppose the emperor's will," said Sura with a spacious chest and a calm heart after seeing the memories of his foster father He Lagus.

Sura continued his absorption and continued to try to understand all the abilities and knowledge he got from his foster father. 

*** 2 Years Later *** 

Two years have passed since sura absorbed and understood his foster father's knowledge and abilities. The barriers and barriers created by his foster father He Lagus have also disappeared so that the scent of sura's immortal body is so fragrant and tantalizing that it can be smelled as far as 10 meters away.

"This smells so good. Hahaha. I finally got some delicious food after all this time," said a demon woman and moved quickly towards the house where the sura lived. 

Brakkk. The gate to the house was broken down by the stealth woman. 

"Hahaha.... Food. I'll eat you handsome man" she said then moved quickly towards the prey that was already in front of her and prepared to devour.

The demon woman also gently stroked the prey's face and inhaled deeply the fragrance of the prey's body. And instantly she widened her mouth and was ready to devour the delicious food that had been presented in front of her. 

"Haap" the woman devoured her prey 

And instantly Duarrrrr.....
