"By the way, besides Providence, calling this place 'meeting room' is a bit tacky, don't you think?" said Beta listlessly.
Alpha glanced at Beta and chuckled, "Alright, let's name it then. We agree on Providence for the table, so the name of this 'meeting room' shouldn't be far off."
"This place is located on the border of the Spiritual World and the 'Void' that mysteriously carries our soul, so the name must have a great meaning, too."
Beta's mouth twitched, "Bro, you're asking too much. You should know that neither of us has a great naming sense."
Alpha smiled, "I thought you were thick-faced like me. Be brave, and say some nonsensical and cringy name."
"..." Beta was numb. It seems his words struck some of Alpha's nerves earlier.
'Heh, this boss of mine is a little heartless.'
Beta started spouting names for their meeting room, but every single one of them met stern rejection from Alpha.
In fact, Alpha was speechless inside. Although he allowed Beta to say some non-secular names, this guy takes it very seriously.
What the hell are these Lord's Domain, Hall of Kings, Circle of True Gods, Faith's Gatherer, Heavenly Court, etc?
Beta grumbled, "You're the one telling me to say some nonsense, and now that I said them, you rejected them all."
"Not this nonsensical, too, genius!" Alpha replied in disbelief.
Alpha and Beta fell into silence before the latter eventually murmured a few words.
"Alpha, Beta..."
"We are going to have more members someday."
"Greek alphabet, huh?"
"Pantehon is a no. We don't care about Zeus and shits because our path of godhood was paved by our own, and doesn't have many characteristics like them."
"We are also the Sons of Destinies. Gatherer of fortune. The Hope of Two Worlds."
"Han represents Vastness, and also the Milky Way Galaxy."
"Yuan represents Origin, First, Foundation, and Circle."
"Emptiness is our origin, vastness is our future."
Beta rubbed his chin, "However, we live in the present. Then, why don't we name this place..."
"The Center of our Present, the Hearth's Eye of Fate. The safe place where all things, us, gather and ponder on the past and future."
"Of course, we can also call it Hey's Fate."
"Wordplay, Hey's Fate also means Sigh of the Void," Alpha gave Beta an amused look.
"Hey is 'Breath of Spirit,' so Hey's Fate must mean a moment where a soul stops breathing and returns to the void, emptiness."
"A room where life met its end."
"Perhaps, a resting place."
"Hehe, what do you think, a good name, right?" Beta put on a smug look, patting his chest excitedly.
Alpha nodded, "Yeah, not bad. Then, let's call this place Hearth's Eye of Fate, and Hye's Fate from now on."
As Alpha and Beta agreed on the name, Hye's Fate seemed to hum and respond to their wills. A mystical wind brushed their face as a breeze swirled and gently changed their surroundings.
The myriad colors turned white, and the space expanded as if it were boundless.
Then, Alpha and Beta were 'suddenly' struck by a blinding light.
Bam!

When Alpha and Beta's vision returned, they found themselves, no, himself standing in a familiar space.
Yes, their souls have become whole once more.
Han Yuan raised both of his hands, clenching and unclenching to test something. He sighed helplessly, "It happened so fast, I couldn't adjust properly."
"My senses are disoriented. Damn, it feels weird."
"Oh, well, getting used to this shouldn't be hard because I am still myself at the end of the day."
Han Yuan massaged his temple and then looked around calmly, "This place is the void."
"I didn't expect naming things would trigger this chance again."
"But what now? I am going to choose another cheat?"
"Honestly, I don't mind. The more cheats I have, the better it would be for my ambition."
"Sky Poison Pearl, System, and Immortal Legacy..."
"I wonder what I am going to get now."
Han Yuan waited for a while, and finally sensed the bright ball of lights he had seen before. They are menacing red, gloomy dark purple (formerly black), and sunny yellow.
"You would be my last choice." He stared calmly at the menacing red ball of lights and shook his head wryly. Such a color reminded him of that hateful guy, Asura.
Then, Han Yuan glanced at the gloomy, dark purple ball of lights and felt a familiar demonic power from it. Yes, this sensation is similar to Heavenly Demon's power.
"If I hadn't experienced the Heavenly Demon's power myself, I would have definitely chosen you. After all, such a power is heaven-defying, even in the higher realms."
"Unfortunately, even now, I haven't explored Heavenly Demon's power to its full potential."
"I am too focused on exploring my own Divine Arts." He couldn't help but chuckle weakly. "Still, I didn't regret the path I've chosen."
"And that left me with you."
Han Yuan's gaze moved to the last ball of light, warm and sunny like a morning sun.
"Given your aura is so welcoming, I wonder what kind of cheat I could get after choosing you."
"Well, I am curious, and the other two aren't so appealing."
After making up his mind, Han Yuan reached for the yellow ball of light and then vanished from the void.

Back at Hye's Fate, Alpha and Beta split off and seated on their thrones again, both looking confused.
"Ah, damn it, Soul Freeze!" Beta shouted while rubbing his forehead madly.
"Hmm..." Alpha, however, only felt a slight to mild headache after the sudden experience of fusing back to whole again, and then split off a moment later.
This difference in reaction is mainly because Alpha's part is stronger than Beta's, which, of course, wouldn't happen again. After all, Han Yuan's soul is simply adapting to the change Beta's part brings.
They also found that once entering the 'perfect' state, Han Yuan can use Beta's martial souls and fuse them with the other martial souls.
This wonder creates not one, not two, but up to fifteen Twin Self-Martial Soul Fusions, and 20 Triplet Self-Martial Fusions.
Of course, while every martial soul Han Yuan owns is compatible with each other because they were born from the manifestation of his will, some martial soul fusions are weaker than others.
"And we can still fuse six spirits into one," Alpha remarked lightly. "It seems the decision of splitting you off is correct, Beta."
"We don't calculate this possibility."
Beta recovered from his Soul Freeze and groaned helplessly, "Easier said than done."
"If we fused our martial souls into one, the energy we consumed would be literally astronomical."
"Let alone wielding Martial Soul Fusion's power, I doubt we can last more than a few milliseconds before sucked dry."
Alpha smiled faintly, "Then, you should cultivate more. You have more than enough time on your side."
"I guess." Beta knew Alpha was throwing him more responsibility, but he couldn't do anything about it.
"Also, let me borrow that thing first," said Alpha.
"That thing?" Beta tilted his head.
"The thing we got. You've never used it in the first place, no?"
"Oh, that thing!"
"Whatever, just use them to your heart's content. I am sure you're going to give the Silver Dragon King a surprise with it."
"Hehe, don't worry. I am going to give this hopeless love-brained dragon a lifetime lesson."
Then, Alpha and Beta leaned on their respective throne as a bright yellow light illuminated the room. "Oh, it's finally here."
"The new cheat."
"Let's see what it is, shall we?"
A load of information entered Alpha and Beta's minds simultaneously as a surprised look appeared on their faces.
"Damn, this is..." Beta couldn't help but stand up from his throne.
"Hahaha, we are so lucky!"
Alpha was stunned on his throne before chuckling, "Yeah, we are so lucky."
"This will change everything."
