After the first scout returned, and in just a month, few more returned. These were all consolidation realm cultivators when they left but in short three years, they reached the purification realm. Apparently, the time flow of the super-plane was different. The information they gave was like this:

The name of the super-plane was Jupyter. It was so huge that Aterna would not be even a small dot on the map of the entire place! The plane was simply humongous. If the law ocean was a regular ocean, then the super-plane would perhaps be a continent and Aterna would be an island. But it was extremely advanced. The heaven-and-earth energy was so abundant that even without cultivating, one would live for several centuries. Consolidation realm was very easily reached over there. Even without cultivating, the adults of that plane would reach the emperor realm. Cultivation began from the purification realm. The entire mortal stage was just that - the mortals of that continent. The Mortals lived and formed cities, countries like in Aterna. The plane had other races as well but the areas of the different races were segmented. Fortunately, these scouts had appeared in a country ruled by humans.

In Jupyter, only after becoming a cultivator could one even come under the scope of the plane. In other words, no matter what you do, your accomplishments would not be significant enough for the entire plane to know of them if you were not an ascendant.

But life was much better in Jupyter. The technology was extremely advanced. Information about the entire plane was available at the right price. The economy was completely established. Transportation was also very advanced. Teleportation channels were strewn around all important places. People there engaged in business, entertainment and various other lifestyle choices. Even mortals had devices that were never seen in Aterna. It was so advanced that the people from Aterna felt like tribals making the first contact with civilization. The language used was different according to geography but the main language was something that was constant across the entire plane. In fact, it was called the universal language that was spoken in almost all the planes of the 26 dominions that had been 'discovered'. The scouts had learned the language and had come with several books that explained the language, culture and situation of the entire plane.

It was a huge plane and the job that Michael had was to look for possible forces to join that could oppose the devils. Thus, information was of paramount importance. He went through all the information retrieved by the scouts multiple times. Only after he was certain of the task that he had to perform did he finally start making preparations to go.

After making all the preparations, Michael and his knights stepped into the formation. They had enough space stones to send many people. All races had their own representatives that were allowed to go. This included mostly immortals from different races. Very few races sent perfect realm experts. But they were using the formation at different times.

The four of them were going to Jupyter to find opportunities to grow and possibly look for allies. Teleportation cost was dependent on the distance and the cultivation or power of the person or object being teleported. This was why the charges for using teleportation channels rose with one's cultivation. While the gains from looting the Devils was significant, it was only enough to send around 25 people.

Michael had said his goodbyes and had made a solid soul contract with all the races to protect his family till he returns or it is confirmed that he has died. In return, he will not partake in resource distribution of the other races or even the empire. This was in a way betraying his own race but not quite so. Earlier, Michael had actively participated in resource redistribution and had made the human race much stronger. He had also taken care not to deprive any race. In fact, through the arrangements that he had made, even the small races had significant growth.

But Michael himself knew that he could not force this situation for too long. After all, the more powerful races would not take it lying down. Also, he was not the human emperor! He was not the representative of humans and he had never wanted to carry such a huge burden.

Thus, he had made more than a hundred immortals in the three empires sign the soul contract with the plane-will as the judge. This made the others happy as well. Michael had done all the preparations that he could.

Then only had he decided to leave. After taking care of all his tasks and farewell, he stepped into the formation.

In the vast law ocean, a few shiny lights were travelling through space laws. There were four lights and each carried a perfect realm cultivator. Teleportation was a method of using space laws. It decreased the distance between two points using the power of space law. But the distance would not become zero. The distance was reduced depended on the profundity of space law used, amount of space energy and many other factors including trajectory and turbulence in the law ocean. In a way, space teleportation formations were like high-speed air-crafts. So, teleportation formations needed propulsion mechanisms, stabilization mechanisms and several other things. The law ocean was vast and only through the space laws could one travel it fast enough.

In a distant space, a divine being was sitting on a throne. The throne was made up of the laws of death! It was so profound and powerful that Michael's cultivation of death laws was simply a joke. Around the throne, a massive palace made up of countless laws was in place. This was a phenomenon that would shock even Ascendants. This was bending the ocean to one's will. This was the mark of a divine being.

The divine being looked at the four distant lights. He had four red stars circling over his head. He looked for one glance before saying

> That kid is finally leaving his home? His progress is quite good as well. Conception of laws is good. While his talent is not all that high and his starting point is low as well, he is still a good seed. His willpower is already so deep, his future is bright! Besides, he is still chained and shackled. His conscient is tattered and broken in so many places. It is his willpower that is actually holding it. Very dangerous indeed. But very remarkable as well. I will free you now from your suffering. I wish to see what heights you will reach after you recover your lost flare!

As he said so, he waved his hand. All four stars at his head shined brightly replacing all sources of radiance for countless billions of miles. The waves churned and the law ocean trembled. A tsunami of laws was created. This was enough power to flip a primary plane and completely destroy a secondary plane!

But he was too far away from Michael and his knights. There was no disturbance in their perception. But the track of the lights had changed! Michael's trail of light seemed to move away from the rest and as it was moving forward, a huge temple appeared out of the laws in its path. This temple was the personal artefact of this divine being, the devil ancestor.

As soon as Michael went inside the temple, he fell asleep and his entire body and soul was separated from his conscient. His conscient flew out and Michael had the second out of body experience of his lifetime. At that point, a faint voice echoed in his conscient

> This is my gift to you. I want to see what you achieve with this in the future.

Michael was extremely afraid at the moment the temple had appeared. He knew that there was no way to resist. This level of power made him recall the ancient being who had sent him back in time. Thus, he did not resist.

His conscient was guided by the temple into a huge flower that was placed at the centre of the temple. The flower was transparent yet could be seen. It was there yet not there. Michael knew that there was no way to interact with it with one's body or soul. It was an ethereal flower! Only through one's conscient could one touch it.

Michael's conscient flew into the flower and then the petals of the flower closed around him.

What happened next was almost like a dream.

Michael's life flashed past his mind. He was looking at the scenes not only from his new life but also from his previous life. It was the realm of his memories.

Conscient was the least studied aspect of cultivation. Dabbling in the conscient was extremely dangerous. Even for the ascendants. Only the divine ones dared. Each star of a divine being was the condensation of their laws and cultivation. Once a cultivator formed a star, he would be protected by it till the star is completely destroyed. This was the method of ranking the power of divine beings. Devil ancestor was a four-star divinity. But even for him, an ethereal flower was very valuable. It was a miraculous flower. It could not only heal the conscient but also bestow a fortune to someone. This fortune was actually obtaining a psychic attribute. But knowing the attribute stored in a flower beforehand was impossible. What the devil ancestor did not know that this flower had a remarkable attribute. That was the attribute of recovery!

It was extremely easy to recover from one's injuries if they were related to the body. For example, even mortals gradually healed their bodies with time. Cultivation was not necessary for that. The soul was much more complicated. Even now, Michael was not able to heal his soul in an effective way. He could use internal energy and run the life force through his body to recover any injuries to his soul. But Michael was extremely rare in the fact that he had command over life law and internal energy. Usually, only after condensing law energy and melding one's lifeforce with the law would one be able to heal any injury to body or soul through the use of laws. This was the realm of demi-ascendance. At this level, only through the power of laws or an extreme level of destructive power could one be killed. Much beyond the mortal realm.

But conscient healing was unheard of. Even in super-planes, recovering an injury of the conscient was impossible for most people. Only extremely rare treasures could heal one's conscient. Even a scratch in one's conscient would remain for an extremely long time. It could be said that the flower that was currently melding with Michael's conscient was enough to throw many sects and cultivators into war. It was a rare flower that gave one a psychic attribute! Psychic cultivation - or the cultivation path of one's conscient was actually almost as rare as the dao path. And while even people without attribute could become psychic cultivators, the ones with great achievement in the psychic path all had attributes. What Michael was experiencing now was a fortune that was not easily available to others. He was becoming a true psychic cultivator! One with recovery attribute.

But it could be said that this happened only because his willpower had impressed even divine beings. His willpower was even comparable to divine beings. This was an abnormality. This made it so that Michael would definitely be a great genius of the psychic path. And it was not like Michael did not have any experience with the psychic path. His perfect persona blessing was a type of psychic ability. It was able to influence his surroundings with his psychic energy. The flower was giving him the recovery attribute. It would give him the ability to use his willpower to recover his psychic power and heal his conscient. With Michael's willpower, he would have a huge reserve of psychic energy from now on. And while he was still a noob in using psychic energy, he would learn to use it quite easily. After all, having more energy would allow him to practice more.

One could ask, why did the devil ancestor consume the flower himself?

It was because one conscient could only have a single attribute. The devil ancestor would not have gained a new attribute even if he had consumed the flower. His original attribute had already transformed his conscient and blended with it. The new attribute in the flower would simply be wasted.

The torture of devils was a very crude way of inflicting harm on someone's conscient. They would keep on healing one's soul but keep on tormenting it as well. It was not the injuries in the soul that broke the conscient but the pain. And once a conscient was significantly injured, one would lose all ability to think. As long as there was a visible crack, the conscient would dissolve completely with no way to restore it. This was effectively a living dead - a puppet.

As Michael went through his memories, he could feel that his conscient that at some point had been shattered was recovering. His willpower seemed to be going through a miraculous transformation and was becoming something very special. But he did not put it into his mind at all. There was no happiness or joy in his heart. He was being given the greatest treasure in the 26 dominions, he was being given the chance to go beyond the horizons that he had imagined. But all he could focus on was the memories. Michael had lived a long life - he would be a hundred and thirty-five years old counting both his lives. But surprisingly, he did not remember many things of his past life. That was because as his conscient had broken, he had lost a lot of his memories. But now, as he was recovering, his memories were returning.

He saw a child that was born with the grace of the plane. His soul was so powerful that the entire plane could feel the child's birth. He saw that child grow up. The power that was meant for hope got derailed. He saw villains approach him with flattery and deceit and he saw the child fall into their schemes.

The child became a teenager and his hormones started raging. He got into fights but he could win against almost everyone. He saw the child go down the path of debauchery. He could see in the eyes of the people surrounding him, the girls and the men who introduced the girls - the cunning to exploit. It could be said that the child was simply too inexperienced.

Of course, the parents of the child did not leave him to be exploited. They tried to make him understand. But there was something that the kid had from his core - arrogance. It was something that developed with time and was a part of his nature. How could it go away so easily? The child got angry at his parents. He shouted and yelled at them. When they tried to calm him down, he even attacked his older brother.

The family of the kid was weak, very weak. Thus, he felt disgusted by them. He felt that they were letting him down. So he started making his distance. He still loved them deep in his heart, but he was not willing to associate with them. He thought that he understood the world. He thought that he knew how to take care of himself. He felt that he was a chosen one, wielder of incredible powers. This was basically Michael going through his rebellious phase. The problem was just that he was too strong. He was ruined by his own blessings.

He got more and more into plots and schemes of others. He grew older and then he could start feeling that those who were by his side were no longer his friends. But, he chose to ignore this feeling. He was the chosen one! How could he be wrong? He knew deep down that he was wrong. But he never had the courage to go back to doing things right.

Then, the devils descended, and his family became the casualty of the first battle. Michael's world broke down! He cried in the night holding his family's cold corpses and his screams could be heard across the city. He lamented. He regretted. But there was no way to bring back the dead.

He proactively hunted devils. He kept on doing so for a few years. At some point, he saved a girl in a small village. She was very young, compared to Michael. There was no one else left in the village who knew her. Her family was dead by the Devils' hands. Yet she was strangely calm. After this incident, the girl followed Michael. She was very strange. There was no cultivation or aura around her but she gave Michael the feeling of reliability.

There were many things that happened, things that he had forgotten, things that made him realize what it was that he had been missing.

He travelled together with her. He fought together with her. Michael saw his life with the girl. It was a very fulfilling life. There were many stories and experiences that he shared with her. In his past life, Michael had not married a single girl. But after many years of being together, they had performed a ceremony with the plane-will as a witness. One could say that she was Michael's first wife as well as his first love.

Her name was - Madeline.

When Michael saw his life again, he did not feel strange. He fell in love with the girl more and more. He knew that he had always loved her. It was just that the love along with his memories was lost. But as the memories came crashing back, the love came along with it.

He saw the final battle. In that battle, he fought bravely with others left alive. The battle was a gruesome one. He kept fighting and killing. But in the end, he failed. In his last attempt to save his lover's life, he decided to sacrifice his immortal soul and raise her cultivation. But just at the moment, he heard her say

> Michael, keep hope in your heart! I haven't told you everything about myself. I am bound by many things and I can not help you right now. My powers are sealed and before I pass through a thousand samsaras, I won't be able to undo the seal! But I love you. You are the only one that I have loved in all my lives. You are someone who should not have died here! Is this really the way of heavens? But trust me, we will meet again! Remember my words. Even if i have to reverse the samsara wheel, I will find you. I love you!

He saw the girl that he loved self-detonate. What was different was that as soon as she died, there was a flash of lightning. A huge wave appeared in the sky and a heavenly gate opened up. As it happened, a staircase descended from the gate and her soul was sucked into it.

It was as if the world had stopped. Michael saw the entire scene and he remembered everything that he had forgotten. After that, no one seemed to have remembered anything about Madeline. He was the only one. In that battle, he had been captured and tortured for a long long time.

Michael saw his conscient breaking down under the constant torture. But he also saw that his willpower was increasing at a frightening rate. In the end, the devils did not manage to collapse his conscient. With his extreme will, he held his conscient together defying the heavenly laws. He saw himself make the deal with the ancient one. And he saw the rest of his new life.

By the time Michael had regained his entire memory, his conscient had completely healed. The flower had been thoroughly refined and he had obtained the recovery attribute. This was his psychic attribute - the ability to heal his conscient and recover psychic energy. Michael's conscient returned to his soul and he opened his eyes. There were many complicated emotions visible in them. For a long time, it was as if Michael was trying to come to grips with the new information in his head.

After an unknown amount of time, he seemed to have made sense of his two lives.

So what if his lover was separated? Wasn't this universe quite big? As long as he grew strong enough, he would be able to find her again. If she could reverse the cycle of samsara, so could he! So what if the devils had won the first time? Hadn't he still wound back the time and made it null? So what if his conscient was broken once? Hadn't he recovered now, even stronger than before?

As he accepted his past life as well as his new life, a change occurred in him. He regained a part of him that he had lost - his confidence! His arrogance! His ambition! In his previous life before his death, he had vowed to kill every single devil. So what if the devil army had divine beings? Could he also not become one? He may be weak now but who was to say that his path was over? Even if his path was over, he would make a new path!

If the heavens stand in my way, I shall flip the heavens!

This was another aspect of his nature that had mastered in a hundred years of his first life. As Michael accepted his past, his eyes shone with unprecedented brilliance. His dao, which contained his resistance and his freedom developed even more. It started containing his confidence, his ambitions and his arrogance. This was his complete dao, a sense of his complete nature. This was the dao of a warrior. As soon as this change happened, the dao sapling inside his conscient let out a shining light and few leaves grew out of it. The seed of dao was nowhere to be seen now. It was a complete plant now. While it may be small, it was a complete system. It could exist perpetually!

This was a complete dao! Earlier, Michael only had an incomplete dao. It did not firmly complete his nature and his beliefs. But now, it was different. This was his dao - indomitable dao! It was a complete dao and now Michael was formally a dao cultivator! He had stepped in the realm of dao where not even all the divine beings had reached.

After that, Michael clasped his hands and bowed. Before departing with the teleportation light, he said

> Your excellency, you have given me an opportunity but more importantly, you have done me a favour and returned my memories. You have helped me remember myself and complete my dao. If one day I am at a stage that I can return this favour, I shall definitely do so!

Saying so, he stepped forth into the teleportation light and vanished from the temple.

Far in the distance, the devil ancestor could also see Michael's transformation. There was shock clearly visible in his eyes.

> A dao cultivator this young! Indeed, young man. You have surprised me! Very good! Keep going! I want to see what else you will show me.

 As Michael appeared on Jupyter, he was completely different from when he disappeared in Aterna. He not only had a complete conscient but also a complete dao. He was a psychic cultivator as well as a dao cultivator. Two of the most esoteric and difficult paths of cultivation were actually in his grasp. As he took his first step in this super-plane, for the first time in his new life, he was looking forward to his own future.
