Becoming God of a Dystopian World

The old man looked at his disciple as if he was looking at a mistake.

He wondered,

'If he is so easy to fool, how will he even survive in this World?'

While the old man was wondering about the future of his pupil, Zhao Luo was in a world where such questions were arising that neither had any explanation nor any basis.

'How should I eat them?'

Eyes as wide as they can get, Zhao Luo was starting at his apparitions while having some crazy thoughts.

'Should I start from their hands?'

'Will they taste good?'

'They look ghastly. Will they taste like sh*t.'

'Who should I start from?'

'At least they look handsome.'

Zhao Luo was looking at all the apparitions of his and while doing so he stopped at one of them. This one was still doing the donkey kicks. Zhao Luo squinted his eyes and thought,

'Not him.'

Zhao Luo was still deciding who to start this 'assimilation process through eating' with when he heard the old man talking to him.

"I was joking."

The old man still looked as serious as he looked before telling the joke.

"You are lying, right?"

Zhao Luo was just one step away from cursing this old man.

"I was before but after getting a better understanding of your intelligence level, I think I won't be doing anything like that again. Haha."

The old man made fun of Zhao Luo.

'Damn this old man.'

Zhao Luo cursed this old man while smiling. He couldn't curse his master out loud anyways. The most important thing right now was to hide his embarrassment. So he tried to play it cool.

"I was just playing along with your joke master. As if anyone would believe that."

"Yeah, yeah. As expected from my student."

The old man said with a teasing tone.

Zhao Luo felt a heating sensation from his face.

Before the embarrassing moment was prolonged, Zhao Luo questioned his master.

"So-, how do I absorb these skilled apparitions?"

Zhao Luo got back on track faster than a bullet train.

After getting made fun of by an old man the only thing he wanted now was to achieve something.

He was looking at the old man waiting for his master's guidance.

The old man who was known as The Empera sat down on the dark floor. He waved in the air. Out of nowhere, two pots appeared in his hands.

Both pots had white liquid in them.

"I will show you once, as to how much you can learn from this depends on yourself"

The old man said to Zhao Luo then he proceeded to dip his pinky finger in one of the pots causing the color of the liquid to change to blue.

"This blue liquid is your apparitions."

The old man dipped his hand in the pot taking out some of that blue liquid from the pot in his palm and adding that much in the other pot causing the color of the liquid in the other pot to change too.

Zhao Luo was quick on his foot and moved towards his apparitions.

The old man was pleased to see the speed that Zhao Luo displayed in understanding his teaching of assimilation.

Zhao Luo went over to his first apparition and touched his apparition with his pinky while blushing.

The old man was so shocked to see the actions of Zhao Luo that he almost turned to a statue.

"You FOOL."

The old man screamed at Zhao Luo.

The apparition was looking at Zhao Luo with a dumbfounding look.

Zhao Luo looked at the screaming old man and wondered what he did wrong.

"Oh Okay okay, I get it."

Zhao Luo turned his hand and touched that apparition with his palm.

As soon as the palm touched the apparition the apparition enveloped Zhao Luo.

"FWOOOSH"

A flashing sound was heard in the mind of Zhao Luo as the enveloping shadow of his apparition was absorbed by him.

Zhao Luo felt something changed inside him.

As if a surge of power was rising inside him.

Even though it was faint but he could still feel his immobilized muscles getting tighter.

"You didn't have to touch them with your pinky like that. The next step is like a key to the door. The key is your palm and door being the absorption process."

Even though the old man was angry because of how Zhao Luo blushed while copying his moves, he still was impressed by his stupid pupil.

Zhao Luo listened to the old man and nodded. He continued to touch the apparitions with his palm and the same scene repeated again and again.

After seven more,

"FWOOOSH"

The last apparition was left. It was the donkey king.

Even though Zhao Luo was feeling reluctant he proceeded to absorb him.

"FWOOOSH"

After continuously absorbing all of his apparitions, he stood there assimilating the surging power from these apparitions in his body.

Zhao Luo closed his eyes to feel the changes rising in his body because of this ability.

He could feel the sensation rising from different parts of his body. Even though he still couldn't see the changes physically from his eyes. Even though he couldn't get an outside view of his body but he knew the changes were there.

He could feel a strength. The strength that gets stored in the body from working out for years after years.

While Zhao Luo was still trying to inspect his body, the old man looking at him with a proud face. The expression on his face showed his sincere appreciation towards his disciple.

He thought about how coincidental their connection was.

One was trapped in a capsule with his body immobilized for the time being while the other was alive while being attached to a sword.

A very long time ago he was ruling over a group of Gods, now he was reduced to a sorry state for someone who was once an Empera.

The old man let go of all his irrelevant thoughts and started clapping.

'Clap, clap, clap.'

His clapping contained so much power that the mind space of Zhao Luo started shaking and he was hit with a wave of stinging pain towards his head.

Maybe this was the old man's way of showing his praise for the young disciple of his but it was too much for Zhao Luo.

"Thank you, Master."

Zhao Luo bowed in front of the old man.

He knew after feeling the growing changes in his body that this was just the beginning.

"Congratulations, you are now on the path of Godhood."

The old man was waiting for Zhao Luo to get up but he wouldn't even budge.

"You can get up now. Cough."

Zhao Luo got up and looked at the old man. "You have done well. But this is just the start of a very long journey. It may be a very difficult path for you but don't fret as this old man has taken you under his tutelage."

The old man told Zhao Luo.

Zhao Luo nodded.

'What his future will be on this journey and What surprises will be brought to him on this path of Godhood'.

Zhao Luo was just focused on this one thing.
