Chapter 151: Advancement Part 2
The memories of his past, every moment he spent with his parents, kept recurring in his mind as if they were always present there.
Even though he had already seen most of them using his Time Technique, it still felt very novel.
But considering there weren’t a lot of new memories, he chose to suppress this information and just focus on his advancement.
At this moment, he absorbed the primordial chaos energy from his mana space into his soul.
This was the energy he had kept for the promotion of his soul.
Now was the perfect time to use it.
But while he was doing this, he noticed a strange feeling in his soul.
This feeling only appeared when he awakened his spiritual sense.
Thinking about it, he used his spiritual sense to understand this feeling better.
It felt like an instruction, a word.
"Dad?"
When he muttered those words using his soul, a strange thing happened. His soul released an enormous energy that transformed into a humanoid figure.
This figure was almost identical to himself except a lot older and more mature.
He looked at Tyler and smiled.
"Hello, Tyler!"
"Dad!"
Tyler paused. Without even realizing it, his soul jumped towards his father, but his father suddenly stopped him.
"Wait, wait, your soul is transforming. That energy should be primordial chaos energy, right?"
"If you touch me, some of that energy will be transferred to this soul clone. That would be a complete waste."
Tyler lowered his head, feeling sad and lost.
At this moment, he didn’t even realize his eyes were already tearing up.
Richard’s face also lost its smile for a moment before he shook his head and said.
"This is not the time to be sad or happy. Tyler, you must’ve a lot of questions. I am here to answer them."
Tyler raised his head and anxiously asked.
"Nothing happened to you and Mom, right?"
Richard shook his head.
"No, although there were some complications, we still managed to persevere."
"Let’s start from the beginning! You should know about the problem with that tower, right?"
Tyler nodded.
Richard continued.
"When we found out about it, we realized a cruel truth. If we can’t find a way to keep them in check, those women will make your life miserable."
"That’s why your mother and I used our power to threaten those inside the tower."
"Of course, our power isn’t comparable to theirs, but we have a simple trump card. Your mother’s technique and mine."
"With my Great Freedom Technique and your mother’s Hourglass Creation Technique, we have kept a lock in your soul."
"As long as your soul is blown up, this tower will suffer a catastrophic disaster, and we will use our techniques to revive your soul and body."
"Although I still have a feeling that our threat wasn’t what kept them in check, that was the main plan."
"But there is another reason why we left. Or rather, why I chose to leave."
Tyler looked at his father with a curious look.
But what his father said stunned him.
"You are a transmigrator, right?"
"Y—you....."
Tyler couldn’t help but feel flustered and scared.
Richard shook his head.
"Don’t think too much! I am also a transmigrator, and unlike you, I was reborn after the original Richard was almost killed."
His words made Tyler dumbfounded.
"You are a transmigrator too?"
Richard chuckled.
"Is it that surprising? Our family is quite strange. So listen carefully and don’t disturb your soul transformation."
"Your father is a transmigrator who, after transmigration, awakened a secondary technique."
"Your mother is a time traveler who tried to go back in time to stop the destruction of Spirit and Mortal Realms."
"You are a transmigrator who was reborn in your mother’s womb. And you now have a sister."
"She is also a reincarnation of Hell’s Princess. By the way, I forgot to mention this before. Congratulations! You have a sister now."
Speechless!
Tyler was speechless beyond belief. He didn’t know what to say after being revealed the truth.
It felt weird, complicated, but also relieved.
"When the tower was placed inside you, I found something complicated. A message from the future, a future where you weren’t a transmigrator."
"My future self must have used your mother’s technique to descend into the past and merge your soul with the tower."
"I am not sure why he thinks it’s necessary, but unless it is a destruction of the universe, he shouldn’t have placed such a burden on his son."
He released a deep sigh before his gaze hardened.
"But I can’t accept that. I too am a transmigrator. I can’t accept putting so much burden on my son."
"So when you reached the age of six, I decided to leave with your mother. I know this decision hurt you very much, and I am really sorry."
"But I don’t want you to face the future alone. No matter what it is, no matter how difficult it is, we will face it together."
"As a family!"
Tyler lowered his head. In his soul form, he couldn’t cry, but his real body kept shedding tears.
He understood his father’s dilemma
Sometimes, even so-called transmigrators can’t change much because of the lack of a cheat.
His father’s techniques were incredible, but from the looks of it, that’s all he had.
Using those techniques alone, even if he made incredible progress, Tyler was bound to surpass him within a short time.
That is, if he remained in the Lower Realm.
He understood why his father left him. He didn’t want to place the burden on his son. That just felt wrong.
Especially when he had the potential and ability to share the burden.
Tyler took some time to digest this feeling.
At the same time, he received a new piece of information.
His soul had fused with primordial chaos energy.
Richard continued.
"I’m really sorry I can’t spend more time with you. The Star Plasma Pavilion is a creation of your mother, but you can’t inherit it."
"Of course, you can use its power to do whatever you want. I have left an Earth Rank Spiritual Flame called Serene Wave Flame for you."
"Now that you have reached the Soul Sublimation Realm, you should be able to absorb it."
"There is also another flame in the Divine Fire Mountain. It is also an Earth Rank Spiritual Flame."
"You can merge Earth Rank Spiritual Flames permanently to form a flame comparable to a Heavenly Rank Spiritual Flame."
"There is a Heavenly Flame in the Ancient Battlefield of Gods and Demons as well as the Eastern Sun Continent."
"But when you go to the Ancient Battlefield, you need to search for more opportunities. There are plenty of those."
"It’s basically a recycling bin of the cosmos. Every time the universe dies, inheritances and treasures that can’t disappear appear in this land."
"But you have to be careful. Ancient Battlefield is the only place that is connected to all other realms."
"Of course, the people of different realms are teleported to different places."
"The crisis that made your mother go back in time was related to Dimensional Gods."
"So if you feel any crisis, don’t try to be brave and face it! Just keep cultivating."
"I feel like my time is coming. Remember, Tyler, your mother misses you every day. Your sister is mischievous, but she has a great talent."
"Your family will be waiting for you in the God Realm."
At this moment, Tyler raised his hand and head at the same time.
"Dad, I promise you. I will come to find you in the God Realm."
Richard also smiled.
"Regardless of who we were in our past lives, we are a family in this life. Son, let’s meet in the God Realm."
He bumped his fist against his son before his soul clone flickered into light particles and slowly vanished from his sea of consciousness.
Tyler pulled down his soul fist and muttered.
"We will reunite soon, Dad. I am also a transmigrator. How can I not understand your thoughts?"
"Don’t even think about facing the future alone! I will soon reach the God Realm, very soon."
Although he knew this wouldn’t be fast, he also knew the higher one’s cultivation, the more time it takes to improve.
But he also had better techniques and more women for dual cultivation.
His cultivation speed would never be slow.
At this moment, even though his family was far away, he could feel a newfound strength in his body.
A strength born from belief, a strength guided by emotions, and a strength opening a new path for him.
[Ding! You have awakened a passive ability ’Courage of a Lion’]
At this moment, a voice rang from the depths of his soul.
Something that he had just managed to create using the primordial chaos energy.
"Thank you for your reminder, System!"
[It’s my duty to support my Host! I sense an advancement to your soul.]
[Would you like me to help you with the creation of your Soul Disk?]
