When I began to refine the soul of the human I had killed.

I could feel my entire inner space glowing brightly just as I could feel my third eye growing stronger.

I could feel a bitterness of feelings of hatred and revenge that tried to form within my inner space only to be destroyed in a matter of seconds.

Those feelings were from the soul that he had consumed.

However, I didn't have time to pay attention to him and continued to refine his soul for a while until he was completely consumed.

When I finished refining it, a wealth of knowledge and memories began to appear in my mind.

I could feel the silhouette of my soul expand for a second before I stopped and returned to the size it was before.

----

Today's world is called Douluo World and the continent I'm on is called Douluo Continent.

The world of Douluo is inhabited by two races that are spirit beasts and humans.

Spirit beasts were the greatest ruler in the world and they oppressed humans due to the great power that beasts had.

This had happened throughout the history of the Douluo plant.

However, it was not until several thousand years ago that a large comet fell to the planet and with it came various changes.

The continent became richer in spirit energy as hundreds of years passed.

Later, humans were able to use spirit energy to fight the beasts, but they were only able to fight the beasts below the 1000-year-old beasts.

It wasn't until 500 years ago that the beasts began to drop the spirit rings after their death.

200 years was when the first human was able to absorb the first spirit ring opening the doors to a new path full of hope.

The humans tried to replicate his feat only to fail.

However, everything changed 5 years after the event.

Where all children born up to 6 years old were able to manifest strange abilities that they called tools and possession.

The tools can be anything from weapons, kitchen utensils, books to tissues.

Each tool had abilities that empowered children, there were tools that were stronger than others, as well as tools that were useless.

While children who were born with possession could change their appearance to one with beast features that strengthened their bodies and physical abilities than children with tools.

Thanks to the new generation they were able to fight the beasts but at great cost.

Only children born with either of the two characteristics could absorb the beast rings that would grant them abilities.

To date, humans only have a few kingdoms led by people of the new generation.

The power system that humans invented thanks to the incorporation of tools and rings are masters of positions.

Where to date 6 positions are known each divided into 9 nine levels that are.

Rate one from 1 to 10 levels, rate two from 11 to 20 levels, rate three from 21 to 30, rate four from 31 to 40, rate five from 41 to 50, and finally rate six from 51 to 60.

Every time a person reaches a number of ten (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60), for example, a rank five of level 50 can acquire the fifth spirit ring of the beasts.

On top of that, there are a lot of trouble absorbing spirit beast rings and they can't always come out successfully.

So the stronger they get, the harder it is for them to keep moving forward.

Thanks to the small increase in strength that they have made during these years, humans were able to create some small kingdoms and cities where they now inhabit peacefully. While the vast majority of the beasts have retreated to the forests and wastelands.

Mainly because beasts older than 50,000 years never attacked humans and never left their territory. And only the young beasts were repelled.

Humans also called the day the comet fell on the planet Douluo "divine grace."

----

I don't know how long it took me to assimilate all the knowledge that I acquired.

I had to assimilate information about the human world and get rid of what did not serve as soul-life memories that I just refined.

After much more understanding of the planet I live on, I couldn't breathe a sigh of relief knowing that humans are young.

An era in which they are just developing and perfecting their cultivation system. So now humans are extremely weak.

If only the 50,000-year-old or older beasts had wanted to intervene in the fight between the young beasts and the humans.

The end result was the extinction of humanity.

Also perhaps that is why they did not intervene. They know that if humans go extinct it can be bad to a great extent for the future of the planet.

But his greatest relief was knowing that gods did not inhabit this planet and there must possibly be a realm of gods outside of this planet.

Like the legends and myths of his memories.

When a cultivator reached the limit of the world, he could leave the world to step on the land of the gods.

But they were just myths and legends because a cultivator who had been successful was never met. And everything became mere words of texts.

But now he believes that it really must exist.

First, he lived two lives on different worlds, and second, this life showed further confirmation of those myths.

It is impossible for a mere comet to cause a great change on the planet and not even leave traces.

Because according to the memories the comet fell but was never found.

There was also no explosion when the comet fell on the planet as if it were an illusion.

Two full years passed and I was able to advance to 52,000 years by raising its strength to 98,000 years.

When I increased my age to 50,000 years, the book published another of its pages where its knowledge was about runes and formations.

I couldn't help but smile because I already knew this knowledge from my previous life and thanks to the knowledge of the book my knowledge expanded enormously.

Thanks to that, many of my future plans could be seen much more visible and real.

During these two years I was able to strengthen my abilities, as well as the cultivation of my body and soul.

I felt like my soul cultivation stopped for a while and it wouldn't let me advance no matter how hard I tried to cultivate it.

My manipulation of the light element was strengthened and I can now use [Luminary Flower Shield] using 40 percent spirit energy and 60 percent light element.

Also my eye was strengthened making it possible to see the energy specks in my environment more clearly than before.

Now it was like seeing little fireflies of different colors.

During these two years the black smoke in the distance did not change much, but he could feel a presence within him.

This presence before could not feel.

I could only feel it when I got close enough to feel like someone was looking at me.

But now, thanks to my increased strength and my strengthened third eye, my senses became many times sharper.

My curiosity about the black mist only grew stronger.

And now I have decided to explore it.

I had faith that my element of light could counter the element of darkness of the black mist.

Plus, he had some life-saving abilities if he ever needed them.

-----

I arrived in front of the black mist that covered several tens of meters of the forest.

However, compared to the size of the forest in the black mist, it seemed too small.

Upon reaching the black mist, I could feel the strange gaze looming over me again.

I floated in front of the mist without immediately entering.

While I try to discover something from the outside using my senses.

Only to discover that apart from the being that was looking at me I couldn't discover anything else.

'* sigh * only then enter at the end'

I began to dive into the mist slowly while staying alert the entire time.

The mist when it touched my body tried to corrode my skin like it was acid.

However, my body was nourished by the element of light and my element of light formed a small cover around my body, the dark element did not affect me.

Everything around me was black with blackish earth and without any sign of another color.

The black mist seemed to act as an insulating barrier.

From the outside he couldn't see anything, but being inside he could see a completely dead land.

No matter where I looked, there was nothing but blackish dirt that looked like tar.

However, I could still feel the lingering gaze on me, no matter how hard I searched, I couldn't find the origin.

When I got deeper into this land I could feel that the gaze on me became stronger and stronger and irritated me.

When I finally reached what seemed to be the center of all this land, I was able to find a huge mountain of at least 80m.

Incorrect!

From the mountain I could feel the look that has been irritating me.

The huge mountain shook a bit as it began to deform.

Soon two pairs of large black wings appeared, followed by a kind of pointed tail, a pair of dark purple eyes.

A body full of black scales with a slight dark purple sheen.

In the end, what I had in front of me was a huge jet black dragon 80 meters from tail to head.

The same black mist that covered the whole place but in less quantity was released from his body.

It was not difficult for me to know that the strange mist originated from the accumulation of darkness emanating from the enormous body of the dragon.

"So we finally meet"

I was struck by hearing a shrill voice.
