Chapter 1: Prologue I - I'll enter Rebirth!
Boundless. A word to describe this universe. The boundless, and vast darkness filled with life and light. A universe created, and not fabricated with some accident story. In this universe lies a stream of white light in space. It travels from one world to another carrying different souls from different times and places.
Then suddenly, one speck of light from this stream diverted its course. It flew to other worlds and galaxies, journeying through the endless universe unbound by time. For millions of years, this tiny light traveled to even the most remote corner of the universe and even discovered its edge called the profound loop.
As this light through the vast created realms, achieving the peak of the physical world’s knowledge, it still failed to do what it meant to do. It searched the whole universe but was still unable to find what it was searching for.
The tiny speck of light returned to the origin of the universe, it's center. A vast creation called the Myriad Worlds. This place contained the Ten Heavens, the Nine Hells and, the Seven Realms, the first of worlds to be created by the Ancient Origin Creator. As the tiny light reached this place, it soared up to the ninth heaven and saw an amiable-looking man in his early twenties inside a beautiful garden. The man was sitting near a pond, looking at the surface of the water that projected a vast world.
The man noticed the speck of light and humbly smiled as he looked at it. "Are you finally accepting your part in this controversy?" the amiable-looking man said softly. The speck of light, smaller than mung beans, remained silent. "To be reincarnated as a mortal soul would be another type of adventure don't you think?" The man continued. "I know you have been to all the places there is, but isn't it boring to travel alone? By being a mortal soul, you can travel with other mortals and share experience with them."
The tiny speck of light answered with a question: "Your Excellency if I go through the rebirth, won't I lose my memories?" The speck asked this because he knew that after rebirth, the soul will be remade and past memories will be erased to make room for new memories so that the rebirthed person will not be confused about himself. This is an automatic program that the creator made in order to avoid problems with new souls.

The man then answered: "Yes and No. The memory of who you are, you will lose them. But the memory of what you know, your understanding, will remain the same, your character will still be there, therefore, you as you will still exist. You are unlike the rest of the souls, as you are the firstborn of the created. You might lose your memories, but will retain the understanding of the universal and heavenly laws that formed from the word of the creator." the amiable man smiled as he turns his head to look back at the projection of the pond, then continued. "The created has become worse. Era by era, they have forgotten the truth. They have diverted to other paths and even proclaimed themselves as gods, oppressing the weak and destroying the strong. The seven realms and the nine hells have gone out of order." The man was saddened by this. He felt his heart aching as he thought of the creatures overshadowed by this darkness.
"I am only a weak soul who went against the will of the heavens. How will I have the power to stop all this chaos?" The tiny light asked. "No. You don't have the power to do so. Though you have attained the immortal soul, right now, you don't have the ability to fix this problem that your relatives and that fallen star created." The man said. "Even she, one of my seven, your beloved, was not able to stop the madness that happened at that time. You remember what happened to you right? Your mortal doom, her immortal life extinguished by schemes... Even I had to intervene." the man sighed.
The tiny speck of light remained silent whilst pondering upon his decision. Then the man said something that pushed him to answer. The man said "Your beloved just exited detention and has entered the mortal world and asked for incarnation. She thought you have entered the state of rebirth along time ago..." before the amiable man could finish "I'll enter rebirth!!" the tiny speck interjected.
The man looked at him and smiled. "Are you sure?"
"Yes!"
"Do you even know how to find her? It has been thousands of years in mortal time..."
"Your Excellency... I thought you said she just exited the detention?"
"Son... I believe you understand the concept of time? To me time is irrelevant. Now and a billion years has no difference." still looked at the speck of light with the same amiable smile.
"Your Excellency, I will find her even if I have to undergo millions of rebirths, even if I won't be able to remember anymore, even if... even if I have to go against heavens' will... your will... again!" the speck steadily said.
"Hahahahahahahahaah!" The amiable man laughed heartily. "Ok!" He smiled again. "Go, do my will. If you forget, I will personally come to remind you. Hehehehe. Go to the seventh realm, there, your fate is twined."
The tiny speck hurriedly went and entered the seven realms.
The main switched his attention to the images in the pond. It now projected the tiny speck. Then he said: "Remember, the fallen star will always scheme against you, oh firstborn, inheritor of the seven realms."
