Chapter 506-Breakthrough to Transcendental being
After having Ronin fetch Kaigu from the space world, Dave instructed Muller to prepare his army for a significant move that would shake the humans in this plane.
The humans had long been oppressed by other races, and Dave saw this as an opportunity to gather more followers by demonstrating the power of the Lord of Chaos.
He was indifferent to potentially offending other races, as fear was not a concept he entertained, and he had unwavering confidence in his abilities.
However, before proceeding with his plans, Dave intended to ascend to the Transcendental being level first, knowing that success at that level would elevate the impact of his mission.
Muller was taken aback by Dave\'s plan but dared not disobey, immediately rallying his men to prepare for war upon Dave\'s command.
Naga, upon hearing the news from her father, was shaken as well.
She hadn\'t anticipated the Holy Son\'s decisiveness and willingness to take action, even if it meant offending numerous races.
She began to understand the source of his confidence and why they placed such trust in the Lord of Chaos.
Despite her concerns, Naga resolved to lead her own army, seeking revenge for the oppression they had endured for years.
Her determination was unyielding, and even her father, though worried for her safety, could only offer prayers for the Lord of Chaos to protect her.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Dave returned to his residence with Xegron by his side, guarding him closely and ensuring that no one approached him.
Dave issued strict instructions to Xegron, indicating the seriousness of his intent to break through to the next level.
Although it felt like he had only recently attained the Divine Monarch level, Dave now felt confident in his ability to ascend to the Transcendental being level, thanks to the treasure bestowed upon him by the Time Dragon.
The pendant granted him the ability to comprehend his soul at an accelerated rate, unhindered by the passage of time outside.
With the power of the Time Dragon at his disposal, manipulating and controlling time became effortless.
Dave understood that the key to transcending to the next level lay in the soul. However, the process of creating Soul Flowers was fraught with danger.
Failure to form one\'s own Soul Flower could result in the soul exploding, leading to certain death.
For Dave, the concept of death held no fear; rather, it was death itself that quaked in his presence.
Before his reincarnation, he had maintained his strength and resolve, driven by the belief that he feared death and had unfinished business to attend to.
However, upon deeper reflection, he came to a profound realization: it wasn\'t death itself that people feared, but rather the impact of their absence on the ones they loved.
Indeed, the saying "no man is an island" rings true, highlighting the inherent interconnectedness of human beings.
Even those perceived as the most wicked or evil often harbor sentiments of care and attachment towards others.
The fear of death, it could be argued, serves as a convenient excuse for individuals to express their desire to remain with their loved ones for as long as possible
Dave had decided to end his life because he realized that no one cared about him and he didn\'t have anyone important to him in that lifetime.
His attachment to his parents and his ex broke when he got hurt so much that he lost his will to keep living.
People, he understood, harbored worries about their attachments to others, fearing the void that would be left behind once they were gone.
It was this concern for the well-being and happiness of their loved ones that propelled them to keep living, to face each day with courage and determination.
Dave found a new perspective on life and death, one that fueled his resolve and commitment to forge his own path.
................
Dave infused his mana into the pendant, triggering a mysterious state where his soul seemed to be isolated. Before him, his soul shone brilliantly, almost blindingly bright, causing his eyes to ache.
"This is my soul," Dave marveled, noting that although he had sensed his soul\'s presence before, he had never experienced such proximity to it.
As he reached out to touch his soul, his hand passed through it, emphasizing its ethereal nature.
Setting aside his amazement, Dave resolved to begin his breakthrough.
Drawing from the teachings of the Time Dragon and Aby, he understood that each individual must forge their own path to form a Soul Flower.
No two Soul Flowers were identical, and attempting to replicate another\'s path could lead to failure or inferior results.
Moreover, the process required sacrifices: spiritual treasures, skills, or even bloodlines. While some might find this path challenging, Dave had already determined his course before his reincarnation.
Recalling the moment before his death, when he had sworn to live his life to the fullest, Dave affirmed his chosen path: one of unrestrained power and invincibility.
He declared his intent to surpass all obstacles, even the Supreme Will or the constraints of the universe.
As his resolve solidified, Dave\'s soul began to shine even brighter, drawing energy from him at an accelerated rate.
In response, Dave swiftly retrieved numerous treasures from his storage, discarding those he deemed unnecessary for his journey.
However, he preserved certain treasures that held deep personal significance, such as the Executioner Sword and the Ring of Forgiveness.
.......
"Arghh!"
Dave shouted as his soul sucked the treasures and turned them into particles to form a soul-flower, feeling immense pain in the process.
The most excruciating experience for any cultivator is when their soul is involved.
Boom!
Suddenly, a violet flower formed near his soul, shining as brightly as his soul itself.
He realized that he had formed one soul-flower, but it had already exhausted a lot of treasures, almost three-tenths of his overall treasures.
"If this continues, I might only form three or five soul flowers," Dave gritted his teeth. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
He wasn\'t willing to settle for such a small number of soul flowers in his breakthrough.
