Solaris

After many hours of absorbing the energy into his body, he suddenly felt hot within. Then the heat he felt gradually grew in intensity till he felt as if there was molten magma in his body

He shouted in pain but he discovered to his horror that he couldn't scream. His voice was gone. Not only had his voice disappeared, his body was paralyzed. None of his body functions worked.

He began to tremble in the cross-legged position on the ground as the agonizing pain racked his body, mind and soul. He had never experienced any pain like this even in his past life.

Veins bulged out all over his body and one could see something that looked like lava flowing through them.

After many hours, the pain vanished. Then he collapsed to the ground looking very weak and tired. He didn't know what really happened to him.

Then an information surfaced in his mind. It was massive in size and caused his head to ache badly. Then he went through the immense information that had appeared in his mind and was amazed.

What he saw in his mind was 'Great Chaosmaker Solar God cultivation methodology' and his mind reeled in awe at the introduction.

What he could summarize from the introduction was that it was a deity-grade methodology, and any person who studied this methodology would have the power of an exploding million suns. Such tyrannical divinely power!

It was a supernal battle entity-grade methodology (A-grade three-heavens methodology) that focuses on cultivation of profound solar energy.

Then he heard a gentle voice in his head which caused his soul to tremble in shock and terror.

"Please, calm down. I won't hurt you. My name is Solaris. I am a sentient solar energy entity. Since I am now dwelling in your body, you would be my master. I chose you out of millions of souls because you have affinity to profound solar energy. That was what I was able to instantly sense when I saw your soul. This made you worthy to study my master's methodology. Anyone other than you wouldn't be able to produce good results after studying it." the voice said.

When Bai Chen felt this voice that suddenly sounded in his head wouldn't harm him, his roiling, terrified mind calmed. "You said you chose me out of millions of souls because I have affinity to profound solar energy?" Bai Chen asked. "Yes" Solaris replied.

Then Bai Chen figured out that perhaps the million souls this entity was talking about was when the nuclear bomb detonated and killed a million people.

He wasn't a novice again. He was beginning to know and understand a lot of things about this cultivation world.

"Hmm... How were you able to do it because I believe our worlds are very far apart, how were you able to cross over and bring my soul into this world?" He asked. He wanted to be clear on many things and this entity, he felt, would be able to offer some detailed explanations.

"True our worlds are very far apart but we are closer than you think. Our universe is one of the many universes that is parallel to yours. There are other universes adjacent to ours but are very, very far away and are separated by a powerful strange barrier. So, to your question, I was able to bring you soul here due to my high cultivation realm. I was able to cross to your world and collect your drifting soul which I brought back to this world and sent into the body of a dead child who had an inborn god-body also known as divine physique." Solaris replied.

So that was why I was able to live again. It was all because of this entity, all because I had one mysterious affinity to profound solar energy.

Bai Chen's eyes shone with immense gratitude. "Thanks for giving me another chance to live. So this body I am in has a physique? And is it only for the reason I have affinity to profound solar energy you pulled me over" he asked in a bewildered tone after thanking the entity.

It couldn't only be because of his affinity to that energy. He thought. He believed there was another reason.

"To your first question, yes. This body has a divine physique, but I don't know what it is. But I can sense it's extremely powerful and it would be very suitable for my master's methodology. When you awaken the physique, you would be able to erupt more power than even my master at every cultivation rank you reach. And to the second, it's not only for that reason, I brought you in here because only you were worthy of my master's legacy. Only you were worthy to be his successor. Any other person that practices my master's methodology would become stagnant at a point in their cultivation but you are perfect. It's my job to give my master's inheritance to an excellent candidate" Solaris replied.

Bai Chen became amazed by what this entity said.

"On the first answer you gave me, is it possible to be more powerful than your master just because of some physique? Your master, from what I can conclude, from the information about the methodology he invented shows that he was a very powerful expert. So how's it possible for me to produce more power than him?" Bai Chen asked in a puzzled tone.

"My master didn't have any innate divine physique as he wasn't from a lineage of god-experts. Don't underestimate divine physiques, these are uncanny physical forms the body take and if one studies a methodology that suits a physique, that is they go hand in hand, any energy-attack unleashed would be many times powerful than the one discharged by someone who studies the same methodology but doesn't have a physique. It was this physique that caused the death of the child whose body you are inhabiting, his soul wasn't strong enough to handle such a body even if it physique-related powers hadn't been awakened." Solaris said.

Bai Chen shook in awe. So it was the physique that brought death to the boy. Poor thing!

But something perplexed him. "If the boy has such a physique, where did he inherit it from? The family of the boy.. my family I mean, are not powerful experts and don't look like descendants of god-experts?" he asked in a confused tone.

"Such kids are great miracles. They are the pride of the heavens. They only appear in every million years. That was why I wasn't able to tell what his physique was exactly as it isn't something that was produced by divine experts. It was given by the heavens. Such gift of the universe cannot be fathomed. His is extremely rare as it doesn't seem to share even a slight similarity with any other physique in records. But I have an instinctual feeling it would vastly supplement my master's methodology. When it's awakened, you would be able to unleash more power. You would be like a giant sun that would bathe everything in it brilliance, fieriness and resplendence." Solaris replied.

Bai Chen's eyes shone with elation. This was good news to him and probably the best he would hear till he dies, he thought.

So the body he was sent into by this entity was a body forged by the universe itself. What evil luck! He screamed in his mind.

First, it was the sword methodology and now, these? He now had a vastly knowledgeable spirit residing within him, another powerful methodology that would make him insurmountable and a body that had never be seen before since ancient!

This is a golden luck. No, a golden dark luck. No matter how he said it, he couldn't classify this kind of luck.

When he recollected himself, he asked trying to clarify something"The boy couldn't handle the body he was given and so he died. What about me, am I not supposed to die?" he asked in fear.

"Like I said, I chose you because I could perceive you have absolute affinity to the energy my master cultivated. Besides, that's not the only thing. I detected some unusualness in your soul. You have a powerful soul and it has strange abilities. That's why you are able to live in this boy's body. Your soul can handle the pressure of residing within such a vessel." Solaris replied.

Alex was dumbfounded. He didn't know what to say again. After a while, his eyes shone with light of awareness, then he asked. "Why did you do that to me? You caused me great pains. Is it because you wanted to awaken, you unintentionally produced such effects?"

"Yes, it was because I wanted to awaken. Bringing you from that world to this world cost me a lot of energy. Besides, there was a boundary that I had to penetrate through so I could bring you over. Although it was weakened which I don't understand why, but I still expended a lot of energy in the process. So when I got you this body, I went to reside in your energyhouse where I slowly absorbed the profound cosmic sword energy you cultivated to regain a tiny bit of my strength. Why I did that is because I can't last outside a body for hours or I would disperse. This is because am not a true soul or spirit, I was formed from fusion of profound solar energy and soul energy." Solaris replied.
