Mythological origin

Chapter 287 Opportunity

Anyone who knows current events can give him a few words of advice.

After all, it was an official bounty from the Fourth Rome, coupled with a staggering reward of fifty million, which immediately generated a huge amount of buzz and traffic.

What astonished him even more was the existence of a mysterious website called "Three Lives Stone".

This website is like an all-knowing prophet, recording in incredible detail the major events, key figures, and even some hidden treasure locations and clues to cultivation techniques for the next ten years!
Its level of detail and accuracy far exceeded the total amount of information he could have accessed as an ordinary member of the resistance in his previous life!

"This...this is just a stupid rebirth?!" When Luo Yi found out about this, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

His greatest reliance—his "prophecy" about the future—appeared so pale and powerless, even somewhat laughable, in the face of this bizarre "Three Lives Stone" website.

It was as if he had run back to the starting point with all his might, only to find that someone had already set up a camera and filmed the road he was about to run, the people he would meet, and the things he would experience, turning them into a high-definition documentary and broadcasting it to the world for free!

The immense sense of frustration nearly broke him.

Is being reborn simply about seeing that destined tragedy from a different perspective?

The existence of the "Three Lives Stone" might even make the course of history more unpredictable and fraught with danger.
Just when he was in the deepest confusion and self-doubt, a turning point appeared.

Or rather, another "unexpected" event occurred.

……

"Senior Jing Xuanzi." Luo Yi stopped and leaned against a thick tree trunk to catch his breath. At the same time, he subconsciously "called" that being in his mind, his voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible respect and probing.

"Is that the place you divined, the place not recorded in the Three Lives Stone, but the place where that 'opportunity' could change my destiny is located?"

He tried to suppress the immense frustration of feeling "reborn into loneliness" and focused on the present moment.

"Hmm." An old, weary voice echoed deep within Luo Yi's mind.

“That’s right, kid. I’ve exhausted my divine soul power to deduce the secrets of heaven, and the place of great opportunity I sensed is due north. It’s about ten miles away.”

The atmosphere here is chaotic, and there seems to be lingering disturbance in the space; something extraordinary or unusual must have arrived.

Although the voice echoed directly in his mind, Luo Yi seemed to be able to "hear" a hint of excitement and an undisguised weakness contained within it.

This being who called himself "Jing Xuanzi" was the "foreign object" that suddenly appeared in the depths of Luo Yi's consciousness like a parasitic vine when he was "reborn"—a remnant soul from another world.

The initial shock, fear, and rejection nearly drove Luo Yi to a mental breakdown.

He even suspected that he wasn't reborn, but rather possessed by some evil spirit.

After a difficult and wary exchange of consciousness, the truth finally came crashing down like a cold tide, completely extinguishing his last romantic illusions about "rebirth."

He, Luo Yi, is by no means a "lucky one favored by fate"!
The reason he appeared in this parallel world at this point in time was entirely because the remnant soul of the person in front of him, named "Jing Xuanzi," used some forbidden ghost immortal technique to forcibly "summon" him from Earth in another parallel world!

What shattered Luo Yi's worldview even more was that this Jing Xuanzi was not even from Earth!

Jing Xuanzi claimed to come from a vast cultivation world called "Tianxuan Continent" and to be a cultivator from a major sect.

Many years ago, while exploring an ancient ruin, he inadvertently triggered a distorted spatial restriction, was swept into a violent spatial turbulence, and ultimately ended up on Earth. He called Earth the "Land of No Spirits"—because in this world, the very foundation of his survival and cultivation, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, completely ceased to exist!

No matter how he used the sect's secret techniques, he couldn't draw even a single bit of energy from this world for cultivation.

Over the long years, Kagami Genko was like a whale stranded on a beach, wasting away in despair on Earth.

He tried countless methods to find a way back to the Tianxuan Continent, but all failed.

Without spiritual energy, he possessed the cultivation technique but couldn't even perform the most basic act of drawing energy into his body, let alone restore his strength.

He could only watch helplessly as his body gradually decayed with the passage of time, and his remnant soul, like a candle flickering in the wind, grew dimmer with each passing day.

Until the recent outbreak of the spiritual tide.

Extremely high-quality spiritual energy from heaven and earth began to surge forth!
For Jing Genko, this was undoubtedly the last straw a drowning man grasped at.

However... it was too late.

His body had long been hollowed out and decayed by the long years and the chronic lack of spiritual energy, like a tattered rag bag riddled with holes.

The surging innate spiritual energy poured into the body, but instead of nourishing and repairing it, it was like a raging flood eroding a fragile dam, accelerating the body's collapse.

He sadly discovered that the life force of this body was nearly exhausted, like a lamp running out of oil, and it was simply unable to support him in making any substantial breakthroughs in cultivation.

The deadline is approaching.

Truly, their souls were scattered and their spirits were annihilated.

But Jing Xuanzi was not willing to accept this, and thus turned into cosmic dust.

In despair, he used a scroll of ghost immortal secret techniques that he had accidentally obtained during his early travels in the Tianxuan Continent. He didn't know if it was useful or not.

The core of this secret technique is to use one's own true spirit as a guide to communicate with the river of destiny in the dark, to find a "container" that is highly compatible with one's own destiny and whose soul wavelength resonates extremely, to forcibly summon it, and then to completely seize it, taking over its nest and being reborn!

Luo Yi was the "container" he chose.

It’s just that God’s calculation is not as good as man’s calculation.

Perhaps the "innate spiritual energy" that suddenly erupted in this "land of no spiritual energy" on Earth is too special, and its nature is very different from that of the spiritual energy on the Tianxuan Continent.

Or perhaps this ghostly immortal technique caused an unpredictable mutation when it was summoned across time and space.

It is more likely that Jing Xuanzi's own remnant soul was too weak to fully control the secret technique... The final result was not the expected successful possession, but rather the formation of an extremely rare and unstable state of one body with two souls.

Jing Xuanzi's remnant soul and Luo Yi's own soul reside together in Luo Yi's young and healthy body in an inseparable way.

They share senses, can perceive each other's intense emotional fluctuations, and can even communicate directly in the depths of their consciousness, but neither can completely suppress or devour the other, forming a strange symbiosis, or rather, a co-imprisonment relationship.

Jing Xuanzi lost his last chance to possess another body, while Luo Yi was forced to "share" his body and life with an old monster from another world. (End of Chapter)
