A quick discussion before the start of the chapter. I've read some of the comments and it seems like a multiverse would be good which I'm fine with. Another thing is it seems like everyone has some ideas for who wants should be in the faction go ahead and keep commenting maybe you will say one I missed. Also, I'm lost on what to do for romance in this novel. I had a vision where he would act as these anime characters with his soul clones and then before they do the deed he would come clean about who he is which is Shuji.
I also don't think that Shuji will become Itachi like the original. Keep in mind he really is just acting out these characters. With the soul clones, however, I'm curious if you guys would rather me change it where he activates the personality and he isn't them? It's some things to think about and I just wanted to let my thoughts out to you guys so you can give me feedback. I really look at all your comments so thanks again for the support and ill continue to correct any mistakes I see.
CHAPTER START
***********************************
(Pov Jasmine)
Jasmine slowly woke up with great difficulty. Her body was sore and she couldn't move well.
"What happened? What I remember seeing a man with strange eyes and the thing I know I was sleeping…" she thought to herself. She began to look around with wariness in her eyes. She looked around realized that she is not where she was before. Suspicion began to arise in her and she began to look to see if she could find something. It did not take long before she heard a voice directly behind her.
"Looks like you are awake," he said in a deep voice.
She was extremely surprised a wary that he could slip behind her immediately without her knowing. She immediately turned around only to see him standing there with the same strange robe and an emotionless face that looked at her like nothing. The red eyes that she lost herself in were still ever-present.
"You! What did you do to this princess!" she shouted angrily.
"I saved you," he said lightly.
"Is that so?! Then why did you make me sleep?!" she shouted once again.
"It's the inevitable choice if I wish to save you. I apologize that my actions bothered you but knowing that you should know you are no longer in a life-threatening situation," he said calmly with no expression.
This calm attitude only further enraged Jasmine. She was one of the most powerful existences in all of the dimensions of Primal Chaos. She stood at the top of the world be it power or beauty. But this man didn't even put her in his eyes. He showed not the slightest bit of inconvenience when she killed this man with her pinky. It enraged her but it also drew her in and made her curious. She felt his cultivation and could feel it was at the 10th stage of the True Profound realm but he looked at her with a gaze as calm as water. Even if she was at death's door how is it he could put her to sleep? What were those eyes that seem to have such mystical abilities? If word spread that a lowly mortal could affect someone from the God Realm let alone a Divine God like herself she couldn't even imagine the consequences.
The more she thought about the man the more mysterious he seemed. A man that should be nothing in her eyes seemingly held so many secrets that she herself couldn't decipher. This thought alone enraged her once again.
"No longer in a life-threatening situation?! Do you even realize the poison in my body?! You are truly arrogant for a lowly 10th Stage True Profound realm Cultivator. This princess can't even get rid of it, how could you?!" she said in a hurry. He slowly rolled his eyes which made her even angrier.
"Absolute God Killer Poison" he stated calmly.
"YOU!! How do you know what poison it is! You are merely 10th stage True Profound!" she yelled with her eyes open in shock. How could he know this poison when he is not from the god realm. He must not be simple…
"You have to understand I saved you?" he asks.
Now after calming down and slowly analyzing her condition, she found that she was completely stable and no longer in danger. She couldn't understand how he could save her until she thought of one thing. "You have the Sky Poison Pearl!" she said, surprised.
"Yes," he answered simply.
This man could not be simple… he had one of the Heavenly Treasures! She could not understand.
"I'll be honest with you but you must calm down or the poison will soar," he said lightly as he saw her tense up.
"I needed the blood you had so I took it. I hope you don't—"
"YOU DID WHAT!" She shouted. "YOU ARE A THIEF! THIS PRINCESS SENTENCES YOU TO DEATH!" she said as she was completely lost in anger. His expression never changed once and stayed completely calm and stoic.
"I don't have it anymore." He calmly said.
This made Jasmine almost lose herself from anger! She could feel a mouthful of blood about to come up! This was the legacy of the Evil god! She put her life on the line and all for a drop of blood! Her brother was killed over this blood! Oh, how she wished she could kill him, but the worst part was she could not even tell his strength for some reason. He also seemed to have complete control within the Sky Poison Pearl so she was stuck with this mortal.
"Calm down and listen. I understand that this blood is of no use to you as you would have to restart cultivation from scratch," he said which calmed her down a bit but she was still angry from being stolen from. She was a princess from the God Realm. A mere 10th stage True Profound cultivator had the gall to steal from her.
"Our soul is bonded so if you kill me you will die too. I have a proposal for you so calm down," he said. Jasmine tried to calm down to hear what he had to say.
"First you can feed your soul with the Sky Poison Pearl until the poison is removed out of your soul. Secondly, I promise to find all ingredients to make your body in the near future," he said lightly. Jasmine thought carefully and realized it was not so bad. "Ok but you must reach the Sovereign Realm within 10 years!" she said.
"That's fine," he said as in his mind he had only cultivated a bit and already reached the True Profound Realm. With the help of the system, he had full confidence in his potential. He was about to walk away when he suddenly turned around to ask something.
"What should I call you?" he asked lightly, turning towards her.
"Hmph, this princess will grace you with her name, thank me. You can call me Princess Jasmine or Mrs. Jasmine," she said haughtily. He slightly rolled his eyes before saying "I'll refer to you as Princess Nena." only to realize JoJo does not exist here. She blinked her eyes innocently, not understanding the statement.
While she was trying to understand what he meant he was sweating not knowing how to explain it to her. He wasn't going to say how he basically called her fat and haughty! She will surely kill him even if it meant killing her!
"I'll call you Jasmine." He said this time ready to leave.
"Wait! You must refer to me as Princess-'' only to be cut off.
"Call me Itachi," he said, leaving in a flash leaving only an angry Jasmine.
**********************
(Pov Shuji)
Shuji was now outside of the pearl walking back towards a sleeping Scum Che. After thinking a bit he realized he had really changed the entire scope of this universe. Without the inheritance won't Yun Che be kinda screwed? Not only that he does not even have his Heavenly Treasure so his future is limited. The idea of messing with Yun Che more made him channel his inner villain. Yun Che slowly started to wake and Shuji knew what he was gonna do. He had never really liked him ever as he had a "self-righteous" personality but left his wife alone, who was pregnant. I mean then again he did massacre his clan in the name of justice so who knows. Maybe he is like Dark Lord Dumbledore who is evil in the name of "the greater good" as he says.
Either way, Shuji knew he was not perfect. He only wants to enjoy his life but he knows that he could never leave a woman he loves like that. He also felt that all of the villains Yun Che faced were weak as f*ck. I mean imagine any Chinese cultivation novel with a villain like Aizen. Do you think they are actually defeating him? As the main character of course needs someone to be against him. Just as Aizen trained Ichigo for their battle, he will train Yun Che. How will it turn out I wonder?
***************************
(Pov Yun Che)
Yun Che slowly started to wake up. "Arghh… My head … what happened?" he thought. He tried to think when he suddenly remembered what happened. "That guy! I will kill him for what he did to me!" he thought angrily. This person knocked him out without reason and he was angry! He finally dragged himself up when he saw the man who knocked him out.
"You bastard! What did you do to me!?" he screamed. Shuji just looked at him slowly with mild contempt.
"I suggest you look toward your right hand to find out," he said calmly. Yun Che quickly turned towards his hand only to see nothing. Only then did he realize that his Sky Poison Pearl was gone!?!? Yun Che looked at him with horror and anger… "Don't tell me he stole my Sky Poison Pearl!?!" he thought.
"Looks like you have understood… I suggest you check your chest next," he said with a little grin. Yun Che slowly looked down only to realize the necklace that has been with him since birth was gone. The necklace that has followed him even to his second life was stolen by the man in front of him. Irrefutable rage ran through him as he looked at the man in front of him trembling. The man slowly opened his coat only to show him wearing his necklace.
"YOU DARE!!!!!! GIVE IT BACK IT'S MINE" He shouted with a wrathful expression.
"Yours? Who decided that it was yours? Without strength, nothing is yours to keep. The weak are destined to be under the strong if that angers you try to overcome the deficit of our strength." he said calmly. Suddenly his eyes started spinning rapidly as they morphed into 3 pointed stars. "Tsukuyomi," He said.
Suddenly Yun Che found himself unable to move while feeling an incredible pain going through his limbs. He looked around only to see the man that brought him here standing in front of him with a sword in hand. The sky was completely red with the floor seemingly being made of black water. Suddenly without words, Itachi stabbed him straight in the stomach and started wiggling it around to increase the pain. Yun Che was gasping for air from the incredible amount of pain he felt. He tried to get out but nothing he did was working. Suddenly he found himself waking up again still tied to the cross he was in before only now completely healed. He looked around to see two Itachi's standing in front of him with swords in hand. All of sudden they both stabbed him again only this time he felt more pain due to multiple swords impaling him.
"In the world of Tsukuyomi… It's space…time…and substance is all controlled by me." Itachi said repeatedly stabbing him. "From now on you will endure 72 hours of torture," he said lightly. Yun Che screamed out as swords repeatedly impaled him only to faint again. When he woke up there were now 3 Itachi's in front of him with swords in hand. A little bit away he saw another version of himself tied to a cross with two Itachi's standing in front of him with a sword. "This is…" he managed to squeeze out. Once again he was stabbed by the version of Itachi in front of him.
"In the world of Tsukuyomi… It's space…time…and substance is all controlled by me." Itachi said again while Yun Che continued to scream. Yun Che tried to calm down when Itachi spoke again.
"This may be an illusion but the pain you feel will be completely real." only to be stabbed once again. "I wonder how long your spirit can hold out," he said softly while stabbing Yun Che once again this time in the liver. "How long can you endure this pain?" he asked again. After what felt like days there now stood almost 100 versions of himself on different crosses with swords in them. He was surrounded by 100's of Itachi, all ready to stab him. "Just a little bit more…" he said to himself. "I have to be almost done…" he thought, exhausted.
"Congratulations… only 71 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds to go," he said without emotion. "WHAT!! THERE'S NO WAY THAT WAS ONLY 1 SECOND!!!" Yun Che screamed out. Only for him to hear the phrase that's been repeated every time he's been stabbed.
"In the world of Tsukuyomi… It's space…time…and substance are all controlled by me," he said before stabbing Yun Che once again. "AHGHGHHH…." "AWFUHH…" and so continued the torture of Yun Che.
*********************
Shuji looked toward Yun Che's appearance who was drooling and panting like a dog collapsed on the ground in front of him. His eyes were currently bleeding heavily due to the overuse of his Mangekyo but luckily he was close enough to the Sky Profound realm to not go partially blind. He slowly walked towards Yun Che and whispered in his ear.
"I can see your plan for revenge but let me tell you one thing," he said calmly. "These eyes of mine perceive all. There is nothing that they overlook. If these eyes cannot see a thing, then it does not exist. If you fight me you will lose." he said softly, staring at him with his eyes slowly spinning. "So if you wish to kill me, hate me and live your disgusting life… run away and live like the dog you are... And one day when you have absolute confidence that you defeat me, come to me and let me destroy your hopes of defeating me. From your treasure to your destiny… it will all be mine…" he said mysteriously.
Yun Che was burning with hatred but somewhere in his mind was a slight thought of what he meant by destiny. He quickly overlooked however due to the burning anger he felt towards the person in front of me. He had never felt like this before. Never had he been so humiliated. "YOU'RE EVIL!" he shouted out unable to comprehend what he had done to this person.
"Good? Evil? These terms have always changed throughout the course of history. Kids who have never seen peace and kids who have never seen war have different values. People live their lives bound by what they accept as correct and true. That's how they define "reality". But what does it mean to be "correct" or "true"? What does it mean to be "good" or "evil"? They are merely vague concepts... Their "reality" may all be a mirage. Can we consider them to simply be living in their own world, shaped by their beliefs? Perhaps your reality is simply not as full as my own." he said softly. As he said this he burst into a flock of crows only to leave a heavily burdened Yun Che lying on the ground.
