Authors Note: The last chapter was getting a bit long so I cut out the part after the MC is sent away and no longer involved directly. This is not required in order to understand the story and you can skip it if you wish. It is short though, only 800+ words, and tells you more about what Xue did to the main character; so spoiler alert for those who would rather learn when the Main character does.

I may continue this as a side story occasionally were these two will discuss what the main character does. I’m not sure if there will be any other side stories or series of side stories but just in case I’m going to differentiate it as Side Story 1 (SS1) for the future.

SS1 chapter1: Meddling

Viewpoint: Yama Xue

Location: Yama’s office in celestial courts.

I locate all of the souls needed but before I can bring them to my office…..

??: “XUE!!!!!”

Xue: “Yes Yama Jiang. There is no need to shout so.”

Jiang: “Don’t try to hide behind formality brother! What did you do to Eternia!?”

My brother has come into my office. Out of all the celestials he is one of the best at reading the probabilities of the future; so that soul must have affected the world on some level. I knew that would happen and also knew my brother had been watching this world. After all the solving the problem he mentioned is part of the reason I sent the soul there specifically. The only thing that is unexpected is that that my brother noticed so soon, and that he could so quickly pick me as the cause.

Xue: “I just sent a soul there. Why?”

Jiang: “Because the possibilities are so in flux that I can’t tell about the possibility of any future! There is now even the possibility of the world being obliterated which wasn’t there before! The only time the future is this much in flux is when you have interfered much more than just reincarnating a soul!”

Jiang: “Now WHAT Did You Do!?”

Xue: “Sealed this souls memories and gave it soul sense.”

My brother gives me a look filled with confusion and annoyance.

Jiang: “Why would you give a mortal soul soul-sense? They can’t use it.”

Xue: “But it is an immortal soul so it can.”

Jiang: “Why would you reincarnate an immortal soul in the mortal plane, and give it soul sense!?

Xue: “How did you know it went to the mortal plane?”

Jiang: “Because the future on the immortal plane and divine planes are the same for the immediate future. Again What EXACTLY Did You Do!?”

Xue: “I placed 6 seals on the soul and gave him soul sense then reincarnated him on Eternia.”

Jiang: “And what do each of these seals do EXACTLY!?”

Xue: “Well…

The first seal is permanent and seals a high level poison soul technique except in the presence of Nightmares.

Stolen story; please report.

The second holds the memories from his past two worlds, and will release when he comes to trust one of his soulmates.

The third seal holds the memories and knowledge from Tataro. It will release when he is capable of besting its guardian.

The fourth holds the memories and knowledge from all of his lifetime before Tartaro and will be released either by his soulmates so they can see him through the shock, or when the power behind it is no longer a concern.

The fifth will bring him back to me for judgement, should he die, and alert me if he attempts to ascend. It will also prevent him from ascending by binding his soul to his body, and will release when I feel he has made enough progress on his issues.”

Jiang: “…….. And the sixth seal?”

Xue: “That seal hides a pair of daggers made from judge Hao’s horn. It will also prevent their use and binds them to the soul. The weapons can’t be used until I release that restriction, but the hiding and binding will remain unless I personally remove the seal and weapons.”

Jiang: “You put an immortal soul with celestial weapons on the mortal plane and gave it soul sense! No wonder the future is in flux!”

Xue: “Well I don’t plan to release the weapons to him until he ascends at the very least.”

Jiang: “Give me the file with ALL relevant details on the soul.”

I go to my desk picking up the file and adding everything important from the deep reading. Handing it to my brother who sits down in MY chair and puts his feet up on MY desk to read the file in MY office. He reads the file thoroughly, occasionally going back to check something with what he read previously. Once he is done he puts closes the file, and finally takes his feet off my desk while replacing them with the file.

Jiang: “So a peak high immortal soul that has the potential to ascend to godhood with trust and anger issues huh. You plan to keep him bound to the mortal plane until he gets over it don’t you; that could backfire if he gets too powerful you know. I hope your plan works because otherwise we’d have to strip his soul and he doesn’t deserve that.”

Jiang: “Now then you will tell me exactly where you reincarnated the soul, now and in the future. You also won’t be releasing the fifth or sixth seal without my permission. I plan to keep an eye on your experiment as well.”

After getting the information he demanded my brother leaves the room and I bring the souls I located before to my office for a little chat. Now I know that my brother is blind to the future on Eternia and will focus his attention on the newly reincarnated soul, he shouldn’t notice my next bit of meddling.
