These memories seemed to be from the former owner of the body. Coincidently, this person's name also was Hammed and he was the eighth prince of the Star God Empire.
Curious about what was this new occupation of his, and where was this place, Hammed started to search through his mind.
Firstly, the information received from the memories was that he was in another universe, called Boundless Primordial Realm. Here everything was based on strength. Logically, this strength was obtained through arduous cultivation and training.
The cultivation system of this universe was very unique. It was divided into two parts, that were understanding of the heavenly laws and cultivating with faith. Yes, faith!
The individuals in this universe were born with special innate constitutions. They were like "gods" and from birth were at the Lesser God Realm, consequently, they were also "immortal"(infinite lifespan). In this realm, they could capture a planet, creating life in them.
And this was where the real road of cultivation began. Their mission was to develop advanced civilizations on the planet and became literally a god for them. As such, they could use the faith from theses creatures to cultivate and even summon them in battle. So choosing the right lifeforms for one's planet was essential, since, in the future, they would help their god. Also, the more powerful the lifeforms were, the more faith power they provided for their god's cultivation.
A curious thing was that these "mortals" also had a Cultivation System and could cultivate to become immortal. They cultivated essence, an energy source that came from the inborn Heavenly Law understanding of their god. However, they would always be bound to their creators.
With the faith power, cultivators built strong foundations to sustain the might of the Heavenly Laws in their bodies and souls. There was an advantage in possessing a planet too. Since all planets were created by the Heavenly Laws, as the cultivators wandered through them, observing life and death, the beauty of nature, and so on, they gained great insights into the Laws.
About advancing realms, it depended on the profoundly of one's Laws. The realms of immortal cultivation were Lesser God; Ascending God, True God, King God, and finally Titled God. The first four realms correspond to the level of understanding one had of the Heavenly Laws.
The Lesser God Realm represented an inborn Level.
The Ascending God Realm represented Minor Success in the Laws.
The True God was equivalent to Grand Success in the Laws.
The King God Realm was achieved when one comprehended a Law at a perfect level.
As for the Titled God, it was a legend. One had to create his own Heavenly Law and turn into a state as "one with the Heavens".
Of course, there were lots of Laws and each one had its own advantages. Law of Time, Space, Life, Karma, and so on. Also, all of this was accompanied by an arduous accumulation of faith power and hard work on one's planets.
As for the number of planets one had, it did not interfere in one's realm but determined the time one would take to cultivate. Another problem was that planets had limited quantities of resources and would eventually collapse. All things followed this rule, and even the grandest universes would die to time one day. So it was normal for a cultivator to have multiple planets under his command.
But sometimes, quality is better than quantity, since planets were classified in levels too. The levels were Common Level, Spirit Level, Earth Level, Heaven Level, and Divine Level. The difference was determined by how much the Heavens blessed the planet in its creation. Rumors said that Divine Level Planets had a lifespan of the universe himself.
So it was better to have one Earth Level planet in your command than one thousand Common Level ones. Even the innate talent of the lifeforms the first one was better.
As for Hammed's new identity, he was a prince. Although he was far away from being a Crown Prince, he was still a prince of the Star God Empire. This force rules over a great part of the North region of the universe, being a well-known clan for its special bloodline.
In fact, Hammed had lots of other siblings, however, only those that manifested the royal bloodline and were males became princes. Hammed's father was the Star God Emperor, a well-known figure for his power since he was a powerful existence in the King God Realm with the help of his bloodline. As one can see, even among the same realm were differences in power between individuals.
Their bloodline was named Celestial Eyes Bloodline. It was a rare eye-type bloodline, very useful in battle. Among its various uses, like seeing some movements ahead and seeing things clearly during a battle, when one entered the King God Realm, he could even steal planets from the enemy party with just a glance. That was why very few people dared to challenge his father.
As for himself, he was just a thousand years old, a baby in the eyes of others. From what it looks, he was poised to death, allowing Hammed's current soul to possess the body
"Looks like someone isn't happy in having another competitor for the throne. I need to be careful in the future."
Hammed though as he made up his suspicions of who could have killed him.
As he was lost in his thoughts, trying to assimilate everything that was happening, someone knocked at his door. Getting out of his trance, he got up and opened the door.
"Good afternoon Young Master. I came here to notify you that your father, His Majesty, summoned you to his presence."
A mid-age man said. He was a little smaller than him and had an elderly appearance, but Hammed could feel a strong aura from this man's body.
Remembering that although they were "gods", their appearance was exactly like humans, but just a bit more refined and handsome.
"Okay, I'll follow you there. Please lead the way."
After that, the two of them walked through lots of halls until they arrived at huge robust gates.
"Young Master, I'll be accompanying you just here."
"It's okay Mister Daniel. I'll go in now, thanks."
In their way here, Hammed remembered this man that called him a young master was his most loyal butler, caring for him since his birth. So it was unlikely him the culprit of the poisoning.
Alone in front of the gates, they started to open be themselves...
