Chapter 5 - Chapter 5 - 5: Shameless Sovereign

Aspect: [Shameless Sovereign].

Aspect Rank: Divine.

Innate Ability: [shameless plunderer].

Ability Description: [Find a worthy warrior and ask their true name to plunder their memories and abilities. Once you have plundered someone they will become crazed for revenge and will not let you plunder someone else until they are dead.]

Fang Yuan inhaled sharply "Amazing, truly amazing, The trade off is minor, how lucky. Is this an effect of my luck in gu world?"

[The First Seal is broken.]

[Awakening dormant powers…]

Fang Yuan felt something waking up inside of him. With a startled cry, he clutched his chest and stared into the darkness, trying to understand what was happening. The feeling was not painful or unpleasant, yet it was like nothing he had ever experienced. It was as though his soul was being shaken awake, infused with strange new energy.

However, that energy did not come from some outside source. Rather, it was coming from within, as though it had always been there, sleeping.

The energy filled every fiber of his being. Fang Yuan felt his emotions becoming clearer and sharper. Then, his body began to change, too. He felt as though a miniature star was burning in the center of his chest: waves of heat were radiating from it, slowly reaching his stomach and shoulders, then his arms and legs, then his hands and feet.

Under that heat, his bones, muscles, organs and blood vessels were being rebuilt and revitalized. Fang Yuan felt like he was being reborn. He was becoming stronger, faster, healthier.

It was euphoric.

With each second, his transformation was becoming more profound.

After some time had passed, the star burning in his chest finally cooled down. The heat was replaced with a soothing coldness. That coldness washed over Fang Yuan's body, taking away all the aches and discomforts that had accumulated there over the years. Then it moved up, reaching his brain and, finally, his eyes.

His vision strangely doubled.

He could still see the void populated by an endless pattern of stars. But he could also see something different.

A silent, calm sea illuminated by a lonely colourful sun. The sea was of multiple colors, with some colours constantly fighting for space with each clothes while some existing in harmony.

From his previous knowledge, Fang Yuan knew that this was his so-called Sea of Soul. But he also knew that it was supposed to look quite different.

For starters, it was supposed to be much less lively. The star hanging above — the visual representation of his soul core — was supposed to be burning with bright light, filling the Soul Sea with a warm, blinding shining.

However, Fang Yuan's soul was made of a myriad of colours.

"That is strange, is it because of my life in the gu world as a venerable of all paths or my divine aspect?" Fang Yuan pondered.

Fang Yuan spotted two spheres of light orbiting around it, as though caught in the soul core's gravity well. A subtle smile appeared on his face.

Those were his memories — [Incomplete Freedom], [whistle blower], [Red katana], [Three eyed mask]

The Spell's voice suddenly pulled him out of the Sea of Soul.

[Awakening Aspect Ability…]

Fang Yuan stood expressionlessly, his eyes calm and body unmoving.

Divine Aspect or not, his immediate future still depended on the first Aspect Ability he would receive. His role in the Dream Realm would be based on its characteristics.However it would not matter what role he is given. He would achieve eternal life no matter what the heavens do.

[Aspect Ability acquired.]

[Aspect Ability Name: Memory absorption]

Fang Yuan summoned the runes. He wanted to go to the description of his new ability right away, but then decided to give his overall information a look first.

Name: Fang Yuan.

True Name: Heaven refining demon.

Rank: Dreamer.

Shadow Core: Dormant.

Soul guts: [0000/infinite].

Soul cores; [0/infinite].

"A divine aspect and a life as eventful as mine has led to me being extremely extraordinary, yes? Normal creatures saturate their soul core with soul shards while I need guts. Every living being can only have 7 soul core while i can have infinite."
