**Tiangkun Temple...outskirts of the Tu Kingdom**

Feelings of revenge and the gruesome end of the Sage of Heaven stir up the hearts of the peoples of the kingdoms, as they prepare for the funeral ceremony. On a white sandy land, surrounding a simple temple, which housed the sage at night, the leaders of the three clans (Tu-Gaw-Yan) line up in front of the courtiers, followed by the nobles of the kingdoms and their nobles. The last of them are large crowds of the public, crying out for help from what will happen after the departure of the dove of peace...

With the arrival of the three golden chests, which hide the sage's divided parts, the men burst into tears as the women shout, as the King of Tu announces the ritual of officially bidding farewell to the soul of the sage of heaven.

Chief Gao whispers reluctantly: His arm should not be buried

Leader (Yan): How will we prevent this from happening?

Leader (Gao): I don't know, but burying it means burning the evidence to convict the ungrateful (Shi)

Prince Tu Bao bursts into the crowd and rushes to the boxes:

Is it real? Is it real? The wise man here? This...this is his body?

He turned to the first class, with intentions of revenge clouding their faces:

What will you do? Will you declare war?

Leader of Gao: This is what should be done. The most appropriate punishment for that murderer is retaliation.

Leader Yan: Leader Xi should be flogged to death, this time he has violated the sanctity of heaven.

Prince Tu Bao: No, no, the war will be a difficult saga for all the clans

Leader of Gao: Do you mean that the Hakim clan will condone his murder?

Sky Clan Advisor: Of course not, we will avenge him even more

First Prince (Chul): I suggest that we complete the funeral ceremony first, then meet with...

Leader of (Gao): How many meetings have been held, and that immoral person breaks his decisions. He does not respect the customs or holiness of any kingdom until he started fighting the wise ones.

Prince Cheol: We cannot declare war without a heavenly decree.

Leader of Gao: Heaven no longer has any decisions after the killing of the sage. It is time for us to decide for ourselves what should be.

There was a turmoil between the leaders and their advisors about the worst punishment that would be imposed on the murderer (Shei), while the head of the leader of the Tu clan shook, lost in the coffins that contain the sage, but rather the companion of the path. Their spiritual relationship was not dependent on receiving the decisions of heaven, which supported their intentions to bring peace. Neither on the fact that they were cousins who shared the same roof, nor on the prophecy that traveled with the sage before it reached his ears. Rather, he did not imagine that one day he would receive the parts of his body. After the cousin's promises of support and protection, the king did not recover from his wanderings except with warnings from his younger son to those around him. -

Tu Bao: The wise warns from a frightening epic. We will destroy the security of our kingdoms. Let us think of solutions other than these. Didn't the wise man always call for peace and avoid wars?

Leader (Yan): He said it before he was cut into separate parts

Commander Zhao: Such decisions are determined by the leaders, not by you, you reckless person

Demands from the back rows for retribution against Al-Hakim's killer grew louder, opposing the weakness of the Second Prince, until Prince Chol rushed in front of him to calmed the situation:

 Retribution is not an easy matter. Your decision means your preparation for an endless war

The younger one pushes his loving brother, insisting that they sense the massacre they will experience if they do not retreat:

Damn it, why are you stubborn? O king, do not break the covenant of heaven.... Do not listen to them, do not listen

Tubao's words may not have had any importance to those around him, but they were able to penetrate his father's heart in some way, but they disappeared when the notables of the Shi clan appeared.

King (Ishi): In addition to holding the rituals without the presence of the Fourth Clan, you accuse our clan of a satanic abomination, a unique method of yours to evade our duel.

Leader (Gao): No one accuses you unjustly. The phrase (Chief Shi Guilty) on the arm of the wise man is evidence from heaven of the crime you committed that night.

King (Shi): I can also write on his other arm (the leader of Gao is dead). It is not impossible for me.

The leader of Gao raised his swords, followed by the leader of Yan, after the clear threat from the Fire King, who did not bat an eyelid at their movement among the waiting crowds.

Leader (Tu): What's wrong with you? Did the departure of the wise man make you lose your morals? His pure body has not been buried yet, but your swords are raised before him?

Leader of Gao: We must bring justice to Heaven before Earth picks up his body.

The calmness that characterized the leader (Xi) was not a vacuum. Here are his three cubs (Xihua, San Yi, and Moon Hwa) surrounding him, each brandishing his sword in front of any deranged person who might think about attacking him.

Shihua drags the point of his sharp sword along the sand, marking his line of defense:

We have come to participate in the burial ceremony, and any crossing of this line means death.

_There was a sword swinging here and there, blocking the two fronts:

Do not approach, stay away, not a single drop of blood should be shed here, as you heard, they are here for rituals, not for fighting, not for fighting.

Leader Yan: Prince, do you understand what it means for you to stand there?

Tu Bao: Yes, yes, it means that I care about the lives of those around me more than issues of revenge

Gao Leader: Rather, you are an accomplice with them and a traitor to your clan

Tubao: Huh?? criminal.? Traitor? Just standing here made you accuse me of all these accusations? Wow, that's why I hate the thinking of kings

Chol: Prince Tu Bao is loving and loyal to his clan. Please respect the status of the Tu clan and its princes.

The spiteful prince: It seems that the Son of Heaven is determined to embarrass himself

-Suddenly, the two doors of the temple gate pushed out from the inside, revealing a plastered face, dark circles under his sunken eyes, from which veins radiated along his slender neck, ending with a (without origin) seal behind the neck.

Tubao's sword level drops, surprised by the guest: Gagui?

- His looks, indifferent to what was happening, and the darkness surrounding his body, made them unable to understand the change that happened to the prince during those dark nights. The only one who could not hide his joy was... _

His father: So Jian Hao did it and found the antidote haha, finally you are on your feet, my lion.

The lion drags his feet and a bag in his hand outside the temple, to lean on the edge of the second coffin tiredly:

 Unfortunately, old man, it seems that I won the bet, not you

The spiteful prince (San Yi): Who is that scrawny person?

His younger brother Mun Hwa whispers: Gao's handsome heir

The spiteful prince: Is this handsome?

_ The one with the gloomy countenance throws his bag at his father's (Gao's) feet, causing the heads of the wise man and Princess Yan Xi to roll out of it: "Mission accomplished, father."

The swords were directed towards the leader of Gao, who denies what he sees:

It is impossible for me to order such an act. Believe me, I did not do it.

King Yan: What did this child do to do this to her? What have I done to you, you coward, that you stab me in the heart? Attack him, kill him, curse you all, bring me his head.

King of She: No one will harvest that liar's head except me

As soon as the order of the King of Yan, mixed with the woe of grief over the humiliation he endured for years in order to protect his family and his kingdom, was raised, the public panicked in fear, as the fire lion and his cubs would set off, and the owner of the giant ax would succeed him, all targeting the neck of the leader of Gao. The Tu clan guards intervened by order of Prince Cheol, the battle between the four clans takes place in front of the actual killer...

The endless epic of slaughter and killing between them has choked the sunlight with blackened clouds, pierced by loud knocking sounds coming from above. Finally, the sky concludes its ominous signs, with a torrent of stinking blood that turns the sand into reddish lava, with a foul smell that stimulates a huge number of mutilated heads to emerge from under the sand. ,.

No one noticed her appearance until someone among them shouted:

 Woe, woe, they are the soldiers of the displeased sky, save your lives

The Discontented Soldiers of Heaven, or (Jakami) is a well-known legend about creatures who were given authority by the sky as a punishment for disobedient peoples of the past. (Jakami) are creatures resembling distorted goblins, with weak constitutions and thin bodies, with stone ribs and pale skin, with eyes sunken in their sockets like men who died of hunger and were buried. Until their bodies began to decompose, they emerged from their graves to roam the earth again, for fresh meat only, and they could not die of hunger, nor would there be swords or spears that would prevent them from devouring their food... In short, there is no force capable of controlling them, except for prison. The heavenly one that was crowding inside, had it not been for the lock being shattered as a result of the clans breaking the covenant of the heavens... Here are the soldiers snatching anything into their mouths full of sharp teeth, the sounds of howling and running to no escape mixed with the grinding of their bones and tearing of their flesh... providing a flash of veins on Gagui's face rose higher and higher towards the sky as his children devoured more people, until his fingers almost touched the heaven Doors.

Ghaogui: In the end, no one was able to stand, except those of no origin. Royal blood and heavenly decisions no longer have any value. From now on, I will be the one who will announce the decisions, not heaven.

- I had no choice but to cover my ears to prevent his insane laughter from reaching the midst of their desolate screams. I do not know whether hiding inside the coffin was cowardice or cunning on my part, but it was my only outlet from those creatures. It did not take minutes until the three-headed creatures gathered around the coffin, trying to lift the cover from me. Their shaking of the coffin threw the sage's limbs on me. A severe cold shiver ran through my body. For a moment, I thought it was a natural reaction due to my contact with the pure corpse, until my buttocks felt the ice that covered the coffin. Then only one possibility came to my mind:

Oh damn it, it's an awakening
