At the question that Manstein had said, the man just silently walked to the crystal. His hands moved and there was some kind of strange lights that came from the man’s soul.

Manstein just kept his position and when the man’s hand stopped, both of them could see that the picture had been stopped at the same time when the man’s hand stopped.

The picture now showed a dozen of person that wore white clothes in their body. Manstein just silently stood in his place, did not move an inch. His eyes focused on the picture and his heart shook to the core.

“Actually, I had a bad history with my partner at our first encounter. Maybe it was because of her coincidental appearance during the war with a country.” The man sighed before he explained the past memories.

“Uhm, if you don’t want to tell me that’s fine.” Seeing the sad expression from the man made Manstein to told him that. But even if the man did not explain this to Manstein, Manstein would already understand the gist of it.

“You really have something that you want to hide with your mask but do you already accept it as a part of yourself?” the man suddenly asked something that really made Manstein unprepared.

As far as Manstein had known about this world, this man that present before him could have been five hundred years old man! So Manstein cold only smiled wryly after hearing the question.

“Sorry I can’t hide it well. But I’m doing this for amending the other thing.” Manstein also had his own problem and a little mutual understanding started to bound them.

“Oh, so it’s like that. Then as my appreciation, you can hear me told my stories about us.” Said the man happily. “And by the way, my name is Wang Yu. May I know your name in return please?”

“..” Manstein did not know whether to tell him or not because he was afraid that something would happen once he did that. But in the end, he could tell that this man already sincere with his words so Manstein must repay it in response.

“Manstein, that’s my name.”

“Haha, funny that your name is Manstein. As far as I remember, she often told me about this person because she said that this person was like the saviour of her world. Oh, she also said that if she could find this person’s soul and return it, then she would not have any regrets. Strange right?”

Wang Yu said it with his facial muscles often changed. Sometimes he showed how happy he was when he recited the word and at the other side, he showed gloomy face.

“Ah, that maybe true. Maybe she just kept the connection to the place where she belongs to.” Added Manstein.

How could he not recognize the woman Wang Yu speak of? Manstein hid it in his heart and did not dare to reveal it right now. He had zero knowledge about the relationship between Wang Yu and the woman.

“But why are you suddenly interested in this picture specifically?” this was the thing that made Wang Yu wanted to know about.

“No exactly this picture but the thing she wanted to make. Isn’t that some kind of vessel for the soul that already left their true body?” Manstein threw out that words to hide his true intention. It was not false to say that Manstein wanted to find this also but the most important thing about the picture itself was the woman.

‘She is one of that colleagues after all.’ Manstein really wanted to know what she had done that she ended up in the same world as him.

“Do you really take a liking to her longest project?” said Wang Yu with a serious tone. He had realized that this person in the front of him really had such a passion.

“Yes, currently I really need it the most. And about the cooperation project and experiment that she had left, can you give some to me?”

Manstein just said it in consideration for her. But Wang Yu objected of course.

“No! This is the only thing that she had left and only I can understand it.” Wang Yu said in his refusal. His eyes stared directly at Manstein as if he saw the monster that wanted to take away everything he had.

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

Manstein could not do anything about it either. “Then can you lead me to the exit?” asked Manstein. Since he could not gain anything here, it was better for him to got out as soon as possible.

“The exit...cannot be opened for a week and even if I know about it, why should I tell you? I had already been here for fifty years and now that I need someone to accompany and you appeared to answer my wish, and I even thought to remove the attraction force from the door.”

Wang Yu admitted that he had set up the entrance with the attraction force which made Manstein coming here.

“So you are the one that set everything in this place!” Manstein retorted. “At the least, give me the project about the vessel that can be used by any soul.”

Right now Manstein had an opportunity to at least get the physical form. If he could get it sooner, why hesitate to wait for another chance.

“Don’t tell me you are in the same condition as me?” Wang Yu now had realized the situation Manstein had. Both Manstein and Wang Yu were the same because in this place only their soul could be seen.

“You are already older by a few centuries and still asked about it?” Manstein, of course, could tell from a glance that this man already had something that even Manstein himself still did not have.

Wang Yu just smiled without the slightest care for his words. “Or I can make a deal with you and you will get that experiment project which she had made.” This time, Wang Yu even felt bitter for giving him this.

‘Damn! No matter what I need him to do something first.’ Thought Wang Yu. His idea was actually much more simple because he needed someone to collect a certain number of resources.

Manstein also hit the hard decision because he needed the experiment to use it as a base and with it could construct his new body.

“But really, do you want me to do something?” Manstein calculated something in his mind before decided to propose his idea. “Then you should let me enter this place again in the future because I also take a liking to this place.”

No matter what, Manstein must use this place because he had the feeling that her research did not end up only like in the picture. It would be better if this place also had the development of his world.

“Of course! I better checked the entrance first because you can enter it.” Wang Yu said before his clothes changed into the coat that the scientist usually used. Manstein was surprised by this change because right now they were in their soul form and yet Wang Yu could transform his clothing.

“I want to get out from here.” Manstein also followed him to the entrance.

“Oh, then you need to attach to me because the distance between this place and that entrance was a week by moving normally.” Said Wang Yu with a smile.

Then Manstein just used what he could visualize as a hand to grab onto the soul of Wang Yu before Wang Yu started to use his energy from his soul to do something. Then the surrounding changed from the sea of stars to the place that divided by a line.

At their side, the sea of stars was abundant and like the sky at night but at the other side Manstein could see the yard in the residence. This was like a border which separated two places.

In the lines that separated the place, a glow of light could barely be seen if you stared at it for some time. Wang Yu checked that line and he formed a symbol of his soul before he send that symbol to the light in the line.

“Done. Now I need you to accept this symbol to be able to enter this place.” Wang Yu also send some of the symbol to Manstein’s soul. After that process was done, Manstein could understand that the symbol could be used as both the identification check and as a probing tool.

‘What is this? Why is this symbol have such a function?’ after Manstein used his own method to check his body, he found out that this symbol actually also bind him to this place but he understood that this was not the doing of Wang Yu.

“After you get out, please collect this material....” Wang Yu ordered Manstein to get this material that he regarded as necessary in his experiment.

“This material, are you kidding me!? Right now even if I do something, I don’t think that I can even get half of these materials!” Manstein really protested hard because this kind of materials could only be acquired from the large city at the center of the continent.

“What are you talking about? Even with the distance of a few centuries, the resources that we have should be still abundant. Tell me what is happening now!”

Manstein almost forgot that Wang Yu secluded himself here without knowing the progress the outside world had taken.

“It was this. Two centuries ago, the otherworlder suddenly emerged from the Universe gate and they claimed to be from Tolkien world. It was stated in the book that there were races such as Dwarf, Elves, Orcs, Goblins and even the dragon that walked with four legs and pairs of wings altogether.

“Then to resist this invader, several powerhouses from across the world joined hands together to repel them. But to do that they wasted a lot of resources, leaving the world with scarce and hard to develop mineral, plant and the cultivation methods.” Manstein just recited something that he had read the book that titled .

“What did you say!? Outsiders invaded this world.” Wang Yu was surprised to hear that when he had conducted his experiment, such war was left by him.

This became what Manstein used as a basis that he could return to his own world one day.

“Yes, and the war had finished a century ago. A war for a century and every person in this world trembled at the memories of this war.” Manstein then remembered that Ye Canghai often told his sons about that war.

In that war, not only the inhabitant of each world that fighting each other but also the world’s law!

“Alright, I already told you about the reason why the resources declined this time. Hah, I guess finding another method is more feasible.” Manstein could only accept the reality and he just needed to search the other methods to reconstruct his physical body.

“Wait! Then do you really can’t do anything about it right now!?” Wang Yu asked with worried.

“What do you think I can do? I’m even weaker than you and you still asked about it. I’m not even a cultivator you know.” Manstein left the place.

When he returned to the soul realm and saw that now, they were waiting outside a room.

“How is the progress?” Ye Guhan asked. After the time had passed, everyone could feel the intense sensation because there was no reply from Hou Fei.

Ye Yingyuan just sat at the corner of the hallway with Li Ling beside hi. When that question arrived in his ears, his eyes that stared blankly at the unknown direction lit up. ‘You’re back!’

He actually sensed the return of Manstein.

‘What happened to you? What is going on here?’ Manstein knew that he had spent a long time in that place but when he returned, it was as if only a few days had passed.

‘Ah, the thing is that the treatment started yesterday. But right now, everyone worried that something might happen to Elder Sister Wu.’

Ye Yingyuan just informed him. Then Manstein asked, ‘How many days I disappeared?’

‘Two days. Good that you only disappeared for only that time and in the end still returned.’ Ye Yingyuan almost showed his worried look the last two days because of this.

But this made Manstein baffled. Two days passed while in that place, it was already a week!

‘Then about the treatment...’ Manstein wanted to continue but then the door that previously closed from everyone now opened.
