Chapitre 2: Life

By the time he got to 700 Ao Rai had started to crack, becoming insane, however he persevered, since he had already come so far, retaining his own memories from each reincarnation and living life out through someone else's eyes. By the 900th life Ao Rai had fully cracked, yet by the 970th he had recovered, going through a cycle and becoming frantic once again, before finally becoming apathetic and numb by the 990th life, with merely 9 more to go before he was truly reincarnated as himself once again. Throughout the entirety of his ordeal, heaven's will never spoke or performed any other action, except for to move his chess piece. The two beings, Ao Rai and Heaven's Will had reached a stalemate long ago, at around 300 moves, however they kept on playing, with Ao Rai suffering through those myriad reincarnations and heaven's will remaining apathetic throughout. Finally, Ao Rai, with a calm and unshaken will now being emanated from his body, with an aura of ancientness and having seen through life and death being diffused outward as well from his body, he moved the piece for the 999th time, and went through the final reincarnation. This time when Ao Rai awoke from his reincarnation, the chessboard was gone and there was only a manual remaining, titled, World Dao:Art of 1000 Reincarnations. Picking up the manual and opening it, Ao Rai read the inscription inside, on the sole page of the manual. "Congratulations Ao Rai, you have successfully gone through 999 reincarnations and are now ready to be reborn again on the Profound Sky Continent, with the World Dao Physique. This physique allows you to have a few unique abilities, such as incredible regenerative capabilities, as long as you still have a single drop of blood you can fully recreate your body with zero blemishes, furthermore you can also open up an entire world inside of your body and devour anything and everything into that world if you wish and absorb and assimilate whatever you devour to add its properties to your body or absorb its cultivation to add to your own. It allows you to form your own reincarnation cycle internally within your internal world, and using the souls of those you kill you can create life within that internal world, and all those lives which are created can be summoned out and used to fight as anything created by you in that internal world will be your slave effectively and follow whatever orders you give to the best of their capabilities. Finally it also provides you with the world Dao profound veins which not only allow for incredible cultivation speed but are also where the internal world within your body can be accessed and where the reincarnation system you can create will flow through. With that said, I wish you luck on your cultivation journey, Ao Rai, and I am expecting great things from you. Make use of this opportunity given to you due to your meritorious service in your past life, and become strong. Sincerely, Heaven's will." Ao Rai placed down the back after reading the inscription, however as soon as he placed it down it turned into golden smoke which shot into his nostrils, knocking him out instantly.
