Merging Soul

Alexander went to the lucky wheel section to see what it was about. A huge wheel surrounded mysterious light and energy that made the surrounding space vibrate appeared in front of his eyes.

Alexander jumped in shock as the giant heavenly wheel came into being. Seeing that nothing else happened once it materialized, Alexander walked closer to the wheel to get a closer look.

The giant wheel stood gloriously in front of him, radiating intense pressure and energy that shook everything within its domain. Alexander tumbled and hurriedly closed his eyes as a massive pain entered his mind.

The moment he had tried to look at the wheel, blinding light of all colors erupted through his mind. This left him shook as he was not even able to look straight at the wheel without feeling like his eyes would explode.

"System, what is this? Why can't I even look at the wheel?" Alexander thought in his mind.

[System analyzing the situation...]

[ Analyzation complete, System has found two reasons. Firstly, the host has only just possessed this body after the previous owner died during the trial. As a result, the host's soul has not fully merged with the previous owner's soul. Secondly, the host's soul is too weak, not being able to handle the pressure released by the wheel.]

Alexander thought for a second and found these two reasons very reasonable. He looked down at his body and tried stretching his arm forward and clenching his fist. Although he moved his mind in order to make the movement, his arm only responded four seconds later.

"Looks like I still haven't fully merged with my body. I wouldn't have thought of that if I didn't have this system." Alexander pondered and felt grateful that the ancestor of his for leaving behind such a great inheritance.

"System, How long is it gonna take my soul to fully merge with the previous Alexander?"

[System calculating...]

[According to calculations, it will take host approximately six years to fully merge with the previous body owner's soul.]

"What!" Alexander thought loudly. "Is there no way for me to speed it up?"

From the memories Alex inherited from Alexander, he knew that this world he was in was a cultivation world. One where only the strong and powerful survived and the weak were remorselessly trampled on, having their fates controlled and serving as slaves to the strong. If he had to wait a full six years before his soul merged, then he didn't know how long he would survive for. Especially with the battle for the throne about to begin, maybe he wouldn't even survive past a year. From the memories he received and his own from his past life, he knew that this would be a completely deadly battle, where the other princes would go all out. Even to the point of wanting to assassinate each other, forgetting about ancestral blood relations to the temptation of the throne.

"I can't wait that long," Alexander clenched his fist. "System, is there a way to increase the merging speed of our soul," Alex asked.

[ Searching inheritance for information...]

[ Information found, Host much first open Entrance Level Complementary gift to receive information.]

Ding!!

[Congratulations, Entrance Level Complimentary gift has been added to your storage.]

"What's this?" Alexander quickly exited out of the luck wheel section and looked at the interface that appeared in his mind as the giant heavenly wheel disappeared. Alexander felt his mind and body relax as the wheel was completely gone. His face eased as he once again stood alone in the room.

" I didn't realize how much pressure the wheel put on my body," Alexander sighed and once again went into his mind. Alexander saw a new storage section tab appear next to the shop section. He quickly clicked on the tab with his mind and a new interface named storage appeared.

In this storage interface, a large room-sized three-dimensional space appeared. The room was completely grey and empty, only having a small box quietly sitting at the center. Looking closely at the box, Alexander's excitement died down and he pouted, thinking that the system was playing with him. The box was an ordinary wooden box that looks like it was made to hold old tools and unwanted items. As he looked closely at the details, Alexander felt even more down. The box looked like it was made from a random tree that someone cut down and crafted it without any care for it.

"Isn't the world transmigrator, A.K.A me, supposed to get like a giant overpowering welcoming gift from their system," Alexander kept looking at the gift as he thought of this.

[Host is thinking of fiction novels that he read in the past life, Host should focus on the real world and stop being delusional.]

Alexander rubbed his nose and grinned as he heard the system A.I. " Looks like it's not just a robot."

Alexander turned his attention to the gift again and felt that if he wanted to, he could reach his hands through the interface and touch the box.

Scrunching brows, Alexander thought "How do I open this gift? I obviously can't reach through and touch it; it's in my mind."

[Host can just think about opening the gift and the interface will obey your thoughts.]

"Okay." Alexander nodded.

"Open!"

The box in the middle of the room creaked open slightly, a weak radiance leaked out of the small gap that opened, surprising Alexander. The lid paused for a second as if reacting to Alexander's surprise before starting to move once more, continuing up all the way until it was fully open. The faint radiance was now acting as a shield, preventing Alexander from clearly seeing the objects Located inside.

[ Ding!!! Entrance Level Complimentary Gift Opened.]

Alexander didn't notice the notification ring in his head as his mind was focused on the box. He once again moved his thoughts towards the three-dimensional room, " Reveal."

[ Congratulations Host on acquiring the following Rewards: Cultivation Technique Ticket x1, Martial Arts Manual Ticket x2, Auxiliary technique Ticket x2, Gods and Devils Points(100,000), lucky wheels Ticket x1]

Alexander read these notifications and stood with a blank expression on his face. "What are these?" he asked the system.

[Responding to Host, Gods and Devils points are the main currency of the System. The host can use the points to exchange for anything he desires within the system, as long as he has the required amount of points. Tickets are another currency used by the Gods and Devils system. They can be used to acquire whatever the ticket responds to for free. For example, the host received a Cultivation Technique Ticket. Using this, the Host can exchange for one of the Cultivation techniques within the system. This feature makes tickets extremely rare and hard to acquire. The host can also use items of equivalent value to exchange for items within the system.]

Alexander took a second to fully understand how the economic side of the system worked. His body started to tremble as he once again looked at the rewards he got from the Entrance gift.

"LUCKY, I am so LUCKY!" Alexander couldn't stop grinning from ear to ear as he looked at the rewards, specifically the tickets.

"Who says I'm not an OP Transmigrator? This is just a welcome gift and I already got so many tickets. This is basically giving me free techniques and martial arts," Alexander started laughing haughtily at this point.

[ Host shouldn't be too confident.] The System voiced in, cutting off Alexander's celebratory cheer.

[The rewards from this Entrance gift is a Complimentary gift from the Ancestor William, naturally filled with many opportunities for the host as a congratulation for acquiring the inheritance. It will be much harder for the host to acquire tickets from now on.]

Alexander scrunched his brows as he heard this and his mood dropped a little, "How would I go about to get tickets normally?"

[For Host to obtain tickets, Host has to create heaven-defying acts that shake the heavens and earths, bringing great destiny, luck, and karma towards the host.]

Alexander's heart shook as he heard what the system said. To create heaven-defying acts that bring him great destiny, luck, and karma. Alexander sighed and thought back toward this Ancestor of his, "Old man, do you want to think I'm some MC In a novel. Why are you setting the fucking requirements so high?"

"Whatever, " Alexander thought as he retreated from inside his mind. If it's heaven-defying acts you want, then heaven-defying acts you'll get.

Alexander looked around the circular room and his eyes pausing on the mysterious engravings on the wall and he took a deep breath. Feeling a little sore from standing, he took a step away from the altar and froze. Although his mind took a step forward, his body stood still and didn't move until four seconds have passed.

Alexander suddenly recalled his problem from earlier before and quickly nudged the Gods and Devils system in his mind, "I almost forgot, System, how do I increase the process of my soul merging?"

[System has found information relating to the merging of two souls. Basic Soul Dao Manual- requires 1000 gods and devils points]

Alexander heard and finally understood why the system wanted him to open the gift first, seems like even information in the gods and devils system cost points.

Alexander nodded his head, "Alright."

Looking at the top right corner of the system interface, one thousand disappeared from the points he received from the gift, leaving him with ninety-nine thousand points left.

Immediately after the points disappeared, the information recorded within the Basic Soul Dao Manual rushes into Alexander's mind, engraving itself into his memories and turning into knowledge. Alexander shook in pain as the information flooded into his mind. The process seemed to take forever for Alexander, although in reality, only a couple of minutes passed.

Once the process was completed, Alexander fell to the ground. Catching the altar in time to support him, he managed to stand up and walk to the engraved wall, only to sit down once again.

An exhausted light shone through his eyes as he recalled the information he just received. I'm a corner of his mind, the words Basic Soul Dao Manual floated in place. Alexander looked at the words floating and shivered as he thought of the process for it to get there. The words stood in place before Alexander, looking simple and ordinary.

Alexander gritted his teeth and finally opened the knowledge he received. A look of ease spread through his face and he kept reviewing the new knowledge.

"I see," Alexander opened his eyes and a smile showed on his face.

"Because the original Alexander died, this body lost all the cultivation he had tediously cultivated from a young age, dropping back down and returning to being a mortal," Alexander looked down at his hands and had a pondering look on his face.

"This reason our souls are taking so long to merge is that my soul is still foreign to this body, not to mention the original Alexander's soul is a few time stronger than mine, making our souls merge slower," As he said this, understanding flashes through Alexander's eyes.

"Not to mention that the only reason our souls are able to merge so peacefully is that Alexander died during the trial, had his consciousness still been Alive, he would have swallowed me whole the second our souls met." Alexander looked towards the middle of the room and his eyes passed the altar. On the other side of the room opposite of him was a gateway with a stone door lying on the floor broken into pieces.

Alexander looked at the sight with a solemn look," To increase the merging speed of our souls in the quickest way, I have to reach the same cultivation as the original Alexander before he died, and then surpass it!"

Alexander made up his mind and returned to the system in his mind, or should he say in his soul. With this Gods and Devils system by his side, Alexander saw a bright future ahead.
