Kai couldn't sleep for days. He meditated. He drew energy and shared it with the spirits outside his body. He consumed many fruits from the Garden of Eden, full of life energy.

Kai left the little tiger on one side of the bed and fell asleep.

12 hours passed. Kai woke up after 12 hours and looked around, then got out of bed and picked up his sword. He would now hone his techniques as he investigated the spirits. The nutrients he absorbed from the Garden of Eden would give him the strength to stand. He didn't need to use strength. He just needed to improve his technique.

Although Kai went to the training centre, he didn't take Little Tiger with him. Little Tiger still needed to eat special herbs. The fighting skills for Little Tiger would appear in his mind. Because of its bloodline, it had the abilities of all the winged tigers before it. As he became stronger, techniques would appear in his mind. So all he had to do was sit down and eat. Even though it annoyed Kai, there was nothing he could do.

He didn't know. Other people thought the same thing about Kai.

Kai arrived at the training area and entered the adjustment mechanism. He needed the most suitable area for training. How could you not think of such a thing in a special place like the Garden of Eden? This place had everything you could ever want. It had mechanisms you couldn't even imagine.

Kai created a river and an artificial sun. He wanted the sun to shine on his face and the atmosphere to be like a picnic. so he could recover a little more.

Kai entered the training area. The training area was a kilometre long and wide. It was more than enough. Kai just took one look and raised his sword.

As the 4 elements introduced themselves, Kai began to build his techniques with the power of the elements.

"Kai, we found something. You'd better come and see for yourself."

Kai turned his head and saw the spirit looking at him. It was Uranus himself! Kai had to lie in bed for two weeks to bring him back. That was a pretty good effect. At least for someone as powerful as Uranus.

Even though Kai saw him for the first time, somewhere in his heart he recognised him directly. Even this ethereal blue body couldn't change her white hair from the past. He quickly got up and went to the library, but as soon as he stood up, he lost control of himself and fell to the ground. Seeing this, Uranus' face fell.

This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.

"Kai, don't push yourself too hard. We are strong spirits. Don't try to summon so many of us at once. You might get a backlash as a result. Most of us need to return to your body before you can move now. Everything they've learnt will remain in your mind, but you'll only be able to see it when you want to look for it. Only if they want to, of course. Now let me send the others back to your soul. Then it will be just me."

Kai laughed bitterly. Even though he had suffered so much, the information was not something he could get at will. His past lives were not Kai's slaves, and they would only reveal this information to Kai if they wanted to, according to their own thoughts.

Kai nodded with difficulty and with a wave of Uranus' finger, the souls began to return to Kai's body.

As the spirits returned to Kai's body

Kai was slowly trying to get to his feet, but the pain of the spirits entering his body was preventing him from doing so. He bit his lips to keep from screaming. It was real agony. At the same time it was peaceful. He felt more relaxed.

When Kai was able to stand up, he and Uranus made their way to the library. Kai was excited about the information he had learnt. Still, he was patient and wanted to see what Uranus would show him.

Uranus looked at Kai a few times as Kai went to the library with Uranus. Kai saw this but didn't say anything. If it was important, Uranus would have told him.

When Kai and Uranus reached the library, Uranus had suddenly disappeared. When he came back, he had a book in his hand that was almost torn to pieces.

Kai didn't know what to say when he saw the book. The reason he couldn't speak was very simple. The Library in the Garden of Eden was very special. Inside the Library, time seemed to have stopped and every book was new. At least that's what Kai thought, but the reality was different. Time was only slowing down here. It didn't stop.

Uranus had told Kai this before he arrived. Kai had ignored it. Now he understood why he had told him, but he was lost in thought as he looked at the age of the book.

Every book in the library looked new, but even the newest of these books had been touched millions of years ago. Yet they were this clean. And if the book in front of him was this worn, shouldn't it have been untouched for billions of years?

Kai looked at Uranus. Now he realised why this was so important. If one of the spirits of his past lives read it, then he could only learn about the book by contacting them, he could only look at it when he needed to. He had to learn this book himself. There were very few alchemical enthusiasts among the other past lives, and because they were dead, they could agree to leave it to Kai. There were two reasons for this.

The first was the inscription on the book. The Diary of the Ancestor of Poisons.

Kai didn't know what an ancestor was. He only knew four titles; Lord, King, Protector, God.

He had never heard of any other title besides those four. Apparently, neither had Uranus. Or pretended not to.

The second was the location of the book! Uranus himself had found this book. While he was looking for a book he might like among the shelves, a book had fallen and this book had appeared behind the fallen book. When Uranus saw the name and its age, he picked it up. After reading it for a while, he realised what an excellent book it was and thought of giving it to Kai. He had looked at the back of other books in case there was another book like this, but there was no such book. This one was special.

Kai took the book with him and went out of the mountain with Uranus. Since Uranus was a spirit, he was not fully visible. Only Kai could see him properly. So they decided to go out and talk for a while.

It was already past midnight. So there was no one outside. Kai was lying outside with Uranus on the grassy area at the foot of the mountain. Looking up at the white cheese flying in the sky, they were both filled with peace.

"You recovered too late. I suspect something is wrong with your love life. Can you prove me wrong? " said Uranus. Kai sighed deeply as he put his hand to his lips. He didn't need to answer. Uranus had understood.

"Heartbreak is a dead end for healers. It will be up to you to break down the wall of this alley and connect it to the other paths. I've been afraid to do it before and my story... it's been a bit exciting. I made mistakes, but I believe that you will not make the same mistakes. I believe that you will learn from your past and I know that you will appreciate the beautiful moments in this fast-paced life. I know, because you have done it before. Appreciate life and be prepared for the passage of time. "

Kai just laughed at these words. He didn't take it seriously. He spoke as he imagined the days ahead.

"I'll give it a try. "
