Tho Awa looked around and saw that he was in a white space. He was a little surprised, It looked as if he was in an airport. The airport was full of people.

Tho Awa felt like he was in an entire new world.

The people ignored him as they went through to their destination.

A holographic screen popped up showing information.

'Name: ???'

'Age: 20'

'Origin: ???'

'Class: Cultivator'

'Stage: Upper Qi Condensation'

'Owner: False'

There was a picture by his information. It was him without the illusion of the true immortal.

He then saw the true immortal appear in the hologram.

"You aren't me..."

"So?"

The hologram sighed.

"It is interesting that you were able to get past the door without triggering any of the traps. I assume I ended up dying in this life. What rotten luck."

An orb appeared in front of Tho Awa.

A light shot into his head.

"Huhuhu... interesting."

The information updated in real time.

'Name: John Destinatus'

'Age: 10,000,000+'

'Origin: Other Universe'

'Class: Wizard, Cultivator'

'Stage: Level 7, Upper Qi Condensation'

'Owner: False'

"Your soul is quite interesting John."

The orb that had scanned John's soul shattered.

The true immortal looked at it with understanding.

John also put up his guard, after seeing his true identity and origin be exposed.

"Don't look at me like that... you're the one that broke into my safe space. How interesting, you survived the chaos realm. Even I'm not crazy enough to wonder into that place."

"Let's see... you consumed the soul of a supreme being. So I'm sure you're wondering why my soul wasn't consumed when I searched your soul?"

"That's because I'm simply an artificial intelligence. I have the memories of when I was a true immortal though. Unfortunately for you, I lack a soul for you to consume. But you did indeed break my soul searching mechanism. I tried to find the origin of your soul, but it seems you have hid it deep. Well besides you leaving it in the Otz room, just how many lives have you lived?"

Tho Awa spoke:

"In a sense, I've lived more then I keep track of. But that isn't entirely telling the truth."

John hadn't been conscious for millions of years despite his soul being that old. At most, he has been aware for many centuries. But even if he were to live for millions of years, his soul wouldn't change or collapse.

The immortal laughed.

"Your soul is everything I have tried to attain in my life. If I had better luck, perhaps I would of wandered into you when I was still alive. Or perhaps you could manipulate my soul and make it eternal. The fact that your soul hasn't collapsed even after millions of years is shocking."

"I was just lucky..."

"I'm afraid it is more then luck, perhaps it is your level of destiny that opened up that path."

"Destiny?"

"Don't worry about it."

The true immortal clapped.

"I have a deal to make with you. Are you aware of what a system is?"

"System? What is that?"

"Think of it like an A.I that helps you, it is a form of plot armor."

"I'll give you my inheritance as a true immortal. In exchange, allow me to fuse with your soul so I can live forever as well. Having a system with you, can help you learn techniques easily, allow you to store things in your own pocket dimension, and even give you unknown knowledge and techniques."

Tho Awa laughed.

This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.

He would never let someone mess with his soul.

"I decline! A system? I don't need it. I can learn everything myself!"

"I figured you would say something like that, had to shoot my shot anyways."

The true immortal frowned and the realm began to shake.

Tho Awa didn't budge in his decision.

The true immortal then smiled.

"I like your spirit, my name is Yuanle Buxiu."

"My name is John."

"I've checked your spiritual root. It is a low grade space type, right? How abou-"

A person then opened the entrance and walked in. The door closed behind them.

They were covered in blood.

'Name: Yuanle Buxiu'

'Age: 3,000,000+'

'Origin: This universe'

'Class: Cultivator'

'Stage: Nascent Soul'

'Owner: True'

They casually walked up to Tho Awa.

He felt a killing intent that almost eroded his consciousness.

But he remained standing as the lightning tree in his sea of consciousness projected an aura of its own.

"Interesting... not just anyone could handle my killing intent. How about we become friends?"

Now John was confused.

He attempted to steal this mans inheritance, and the guy wanted to be friends with him?

Yuanle frowned.

"Am I unworthy?"

Tho Awa spoke:

"No... It is just unexpected, I don't have any friends."

"I wasn't talking to you. I'm talking to John."

Yuanle looked into Tho Awa's eyes and it seemed as if he was looking beyond this body.

Yuanle saw a skeleton sitting on a throne.

Blue light flashed in John's eyes.

"I see, you can see past my bodies."

Yuanle spoke:

"Very interesting use of immortality. It is almost like a Hivemind. I even wonder if that body is your real one?"

"I have to keep some cards hidden after all."

Yuanle began to laugh.

"We're friends, it's settled."

"You should be honored. The number of friends I have is now... one!"

"As for you!"

Yuanle looked at his A.I

"I have indeed missed my system, to think you were willing to become someone else's system, not so loyal, huh!"

"I thought you had died!"

"Me? Even though I was born as a cripple this time, you think those idiots would be able to handle a single one of my pinkies?"

"You were just greedy! Alright, merge! Let's get this over with."

Tho Awa was blinded by light.

He saw the hologram shoot into Yuanle's head.

"It's good to be back!"

"What are you doing just standing there, have some tea!"

The airport turned into a stream of lights and Tho Awa was teleported into a room with Yuanle.

He was sitting down with a tea cup in his hand.

"..."

"Drink, drink!"

John wasn't worried about poisons as he was immortal.

"Do you think I would bother to poison an immortal? C'mon, this is ambrosia tea. I personally killed a god, cremated him, then put his ashes in the tea bags. Drink it, you'll be in for a good surprise!"

"Surprise?"

Tho Awa drunk the tea and instantly broke through to peak Qi Condensation. All 14 of his meridians were unblocked in an instant.

"It's a shame this is just a throw away body."

"But can't you restructure your body based on the new data?"

"Yea..."

"The problem is, it'll be suspicious for me to breakthrough after going out on a mission to find your inheritance. They'll think I found the inheritance without alerting them and will kill me."

"But... isn't that exactly what you did?"

"No, it's a different body, different rules!"

"I see, I see."

"So... what is your goal for living? What is your dao?"

"My dao?"

"The set of principles that your cultivation is based around."

John thought about it.

"I suppose my goal right now is to be able to not be suppressed by world wills."

Yuanle thought for a second.

"Hmm... I don't have much experience as you with traveling to different worlds. I do have astral stones to explore the dream realm. But you have to probe with your spiritual sense. You don't have one of those yet."

"Why do you need to not be suppressed by the world will?"

"So that I am able to use all my spells, as you already know. My soul is eternal, but it can still be sealed."

"Seals huh? I hate that bullshit. I'll tell you, I was once sealed for 10,000 years by a group of hypocrites who said they were protecting the world. When I eventually broke out, I was so pissed."

"I do have a technique that can move your soul. I'm sure you're familiar with the otz room?"

"Otz room?"

"Really? You don't know about it? Well, since we're friends, I'll explain it to you."

"Your soul actually exist in two places at once, well for you, it is more. An ordinary person would have it above their head. While it also exist in a separate dimension. This dimension was created by an overgod. It houses all souls. Your soul simultaneously exist in both places."

"I have a technique that I created when I was sealed. It is simple. It allows you to move your soul out of the Otz room and into your own dimension. You do have your own dimension right? For example, we are in my dimension right now. I keep my soul in this dimension even though as this dimension can be found by others. Although it is unlikely."

"Would you like to see it?"

John didn't know if he would practice such a technique. But it could open up insights about his soul. So he didn't decline.

"Sure."

Yuanle snapped his fingers and a scroll appeared in Tho Awa's hands.

He immediately became dizzy from looking at the runes on the scroll.

"You call this technique simple?!"

"This'll take me decades to understand!"

"...It is pretty simple, you're the one that lacks a system! Hahaha. something like that I could learn in an instant."

"Here."

He tapped the head of Tho Awa.

John's consciousness was invaded!

He saw an infinite scroll containing the technique.

"It should be far more convenient to not have to carry it around, right?"

John was a little confused.

"Why are you helping me so much?"

"Boredom, and I see some of myself in you. Just think of myself like an investor. I see that your potential could surpass me in the future. I just ask that you help me when you make it big one day."

"I see... I won't forget about the help you've provided me!"

"Remember, the name of that technique is called Soul Domain! It's purpose is to be able to grasp your soul in your hand and place it in your own dimension."

"Your soul is indeed located in the Otz room. But is also located above every single connection you have due to your immortality. Soul can exist in multiple places at once. This leaves your weakness being entities that can trace back the phantom soul that forms above the connections."

"I know! I have developed a technique to deal with this problem. But it isn't perfect yet."

"I see... I was just reminding you! Well, you can't have my inheritance unfortunately. But hopefully making a new friend was worth the trip."

Yuanle stood up and looked like he was about to leave.

"Wait! Earlier your A.I talked about my low grade spiritual roots? Don't you have a method that can help me there."

"John, I believe in you! You can do it! Me giving you techniques will only weaken your character and efforts. I am not my A.I. I won't help you in cultivation. Figure it out yourself. Bye!"

"..."

The realm ejected Tho Awa into a current of the astral.

He was torn to pieces and John lost connection...

"..."

He was a bit speechless.
