Chapter 35 The Primordial Chaos Sect 1
35 The Primordial Chaos Sect 1
As the group settled into the vast, newly created expanse of their home, Mabel cast a playful glance at Adams. "Oh, I see you've gotten yourself another woman," she teased, nodding toward Lilith.
Adams grinned, unfazed. "Yeah, isn't she lovely?" he replied, his eyes twinkling with amusement.
Mabel ignored his comment and turned to Lilith, offering a word of advice. "I should probably warn you about him. He's up to no good when he smiles like that."
Lilith nodded, appreciating the warning. "Thank you. I'll take your advice to heart."
A loud "Ahem, ahem," cut through the chatter, drawing everyone's attention back to Adams, who was now standing at the center of their gathering.
"Sorry about that. I was just trying to get your attention," he said with a slight smile. "Now, onto the main reason we are here. Ever since we've come to know each other and formed this small group, we haven't had a place to call home. But today, with the help of everyone gathered here, we've become a family. And what is a family without a home? So today, we are here to make a place to call our own and a place where legends will be born."
Applause erupted as Adams finished his speech, the excitement palpable among them.
"Alright, let's get this party rolling," Adams declared, passing the baton to Jarvis.
Suddenly, a notification chimed in Adams's mind:
*Ding, congratulations to the host for acquiring land for sect development.*
*Ding, congratulations to the host for unlocking the Sect Master Function.*
Adams blinked, momentarily surprised. *You didn't tell me there was a hidden function in the system,* he mentally directed at Jarvis.
*You didn't ask me that,* Jarvis replied, a hint of smugness in his tone.
*Sigh, just continue with what you're doing,* Adams thought, deciding it wasn't worth arguing about.
As soon as Adams gave Jarvis the go-ahead, the ground beneath them trembled slightly. Buildings began to materialize out of thin air, sprawling across the land as more notifications appeared before him: n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
*Ding, congratulations to the host for purchasing the following sect buildings:*
- *Sect Gate*
- *Sect Hall*
- *Sect Attacking Array*
- *Sect Defending Array*
- *Sect Dormitory*
- *Cultivation Hall*
- *Training Ground*
- *Guest Hall*
- *Spiritual Veins*
- *Elemental Veins*
- *Battle / Tournament Arena*
- *Alchemy Hall*
- *Blacksmith Hall*
- *Array Hall*
- *Law / Dao Hall*
- *Trial Ground*
Amazement washed over everyone as they watched the majestic structures take form, each building more impressive than the last.
*Please, the host should name his sect,* the system prompted.
Adams pondered for a moment before a suitable name came to mind. "Primordial Chaos Sect," he declared. As a sect that would stand at the apex of the omniverse, it deserved a name befitting its grandeur.
The name appeared above the sect gate, engraved in bold letters that shimmered in the sunlight.
Mabel chuckled, shaking her head. "Primordial Chaos Sect? Sigh, your lack of naming sense is so, ahh, I don't even know what to say."
Erren, the little elf girl, piped up in Adams's defense. "Why, there's nothing wrong with it."
Adams laughed heartily, reaching out to ruffle Erren's hair affectionately. "That's why I like you, Erren, always looking out for your big brother."
The group began to explore their new home, leaving Lilith and Melina standing in awe of the grand spectacle before them.
"Are you two not going to join us?" Adams called back to them, noticing their stunned expressions.
Lilith shook herself from her stupor and nodded. "Huum, we're coming!" she said, quickly following the others.
Melina lingered, her eyes still wide with disbelief. "How did you do that? Making buildings appear out of thin air just like that?" she asked, her voice a mix of wonder and curiosity.
Adams simply smiled, his demeanor as enigmatic as ever. "I told you, I have my ways," he replied before strolling into the new sect.
"Bastard, trying to act mysterious. I promise you that one day I'll find out your secrets," Melina muttered under her breath as she too entered the sect.
**Inside the Sect**
Linda gazed around, her eyes wide with awe. "Wow, this place is like the afterlife. I've never seen anything like it before."
The sect was vast, its boundaries seemingly endless. It defied normal perceptions of space, thanks to the intricate application of the space law that allowed it to be larger on the inside.
The buildings were adorned in gold with intricate markings, painted in black and white to symbolize the harmony between opposing forces—good and evil, light and darkness, life and death, creation and destruction, yin and yang—all elements that comprised Chaos.
The group made their way to the sect hall, where a spacious chamber awaited them. At the center stood a grand throne, flanked by twelve seats behind it, courtesy of Jarvis. There were also thirteen seats to the right and seven to the left of the throne.
"Well, everything is prepared. Each of you will have a valley to occupy and take in disciples, which you will name as you see fit. Now, you can all go and look around the sect," Adams announced, dismissing them with a wave. He could see the eagerness in their eyes, their excitement to explore their new home.
As the others dispersed, only Lilith, Mabel, and Melina remained behind.
"Why are you still here?" Adams asked, noticing Melina's unwavering gaze.
"How do you do all this?" Melina persisted, her curiosity unrelenting. "I know you won't tell me, but this is absurd. Even the powerhouses I know couldn't pull off what you just did. What is it about you?"
Mabel sighed, stepping in to offer some perspective. "Don't bother. He won't tell you anything. Even those of us who've been with him all this while, like me, don't know how he does any of these things. We've just gotten used to it as part of our day-to-day experience."
Adams moved to the largest throne and sat down, letting the information about his sect surge through his mind. He couldn't help but smile as he looked toward the three women.
Mabel rolled her eyes, a knowing smirk on her face. "See? What did I tell you? He'll just smile at your questions and nothing else."
Lilith chuckled, her voice light and teasing. "I find it beautiful."
Mabel sighed, shaking her head at yet another lovesick fool entranced by Adams's charm. But despite her exasperation, a small smile played on her lips, knowing that this peculiar family they'd formed was indeed something special.
