In the tiny house at the far end of the Sheng village
A young boy not even of coming age was seen under the trees.
His eyes were black violet, a unique eye that garnered him attention, and his face lacked nutrition, but despite the skinny face, it couldn't hide his handsome face with sharp eyes, a well-shaped nose, sexy lips, and long black hair. His body was as skinny as his face, with no fat, and he was wearing an old and worn robe.
Despite having the face to be husband material, he was an outcast to the village.
His father was a normal human, not even a human from the Sheng clan; his mother was the daughter of the former head of the village. Because of his birth, the village was in an uproar.
It was not rare to see a cultivator and a human loving each other, but the human his mother married was a spy from the other village.
Who poisoned his mother without anyone knowing?
But as his mother was at his deathbed, the former village head discovered it and killed his father, and with the regret of his daughter dying because of his lack of attention, he killed himself.
Hence, all the blame went to this kid named Sheng Yun, but being the grandson of the former head, the current head didn't kill him, but everyone at the village blamed him for everything.
And that's how he became an outcast. Well, that's the background of the guy he was currently in.
Sheng Yun, or Jin Yukan, is the one currently possessing the body. The abyssal lord and the demon lord of the abyss.
And the successor of the demon sovereign
It's been a year since he got in this body. At first glance, he thought it was possession, but as his mind gradually adjusted in this body, he realized it isn't just possession. As his mind gradually adjusted, the memories of the body also came to him.
And with the memories, he discovered he and this body have similar personalities.
Despite being hungry every time, he never bends to someone.
The young lady of the Sheng Jun family of the Sheng clan once said if he accepted becoming her slave, he would be fed and have a proper life.
Yet he didn't accept it.
And even while being beaten up, he doesn't cry, beg for forgiveness, or anything; he just remains watching.
Even with killing livestock (humans included), he didn't bat an eye, as he even found it interesting.
He isn't bound by the word "survival" or "life" yet every time he's in his dying state.
He begged the young lady of the Sheng Jun clan for food and medicine and accepted being her slave for a year.
When he was beaten to death, at the last moment he begged for forgiveness with an earnest look that he learned from watching others.
And with killing humans, he even ate their flesh, which made even the most wicked butcher of the Sheng clan shudder at the disgust.
Yet with all that, he remains being himself, not changing since childhood.
Being assimilated with the body's emotion and memories, he learned something quite interesting.
This body is a reincarnation of a fragment of his soul that was destroyed at the central invading annihilation.
So in other words, this body is his and originally was him.
He doesn't know how he got his memories as Jin Yukan.
But with this gift of another life, he's sure that he would create the life and death pill and reach a realm beyond immortality.
Yes, his goal is something beyond immorality, which he called the apex of life.
A realm where he can reincarnate whenever he wants and power that surpasses the world's limits
That's his goal as Jin Yukan, yet in this new body of his, he has an even greater goal that he himself
The goal of becoming supreme above the world, a being who decides what the world would do, with fate and destiny at his grasp—that's the goal of this reincarnation body of his.
It was interesting that a fragment got this kind of goal, but his perspective got wider because of this fragment goal.
Yes, if he achieved becoming the being above the world, reincarnation would be meaningless as immortality.
He could decide what immortality would be like.
Just having that thought made him shudder.
...
Having fully become one with the body
"I am me, and you are me himself." That's how he defines himself; his past self is just a shadow of the present. Hence, even a fragment would become him if he survived till the present.
That's how his heart believes in
Having fully realized himself, his body began to glow.
Noticing the blinding light from his body, "I'm breaking through rank 2 of the body evolution."
Rank 1, where you can feel qi—this is the starting point of all cultivators. Qi can be seen in different perspectives; if you see it as holy, then it is holy, but if you see it as dark, it is dark.
Rank 2 is the realm where your body evolves to your perspective of qi, and that's what Jin Yukan was shocked about in his life. As Jin Yukan, his qi was black-violet, but noticing his breakthrough to rank 2 was at the color of…
Emptiness? Yes, emptiness. It doesn't have a color, which every qi should have. A qi is born from one's perspective, yet his qi is emptiness?
But why does it feel stronger than his black-violet qi as the abyssal lord?
What principle does this qi have to make even me, one of the strongest in history, feel amazed?
…
"The qi of adaptability—yes, that should be what it would be called." Having learned that the emptiness qi can adapt to any qi it touches, he learned this as his qi changed into the color of the qi in the tree after trying to gather qi.
Any qi he gathered became his own, which made him shudder at how strong this was.
But with overpowered comes weakness; he realized gaining his qi back was harder, as he needed to absorb the qi of others to recover.
While his properties remain after recovering, the speed of his recovery would be slower, as he would need to absorb the qi of other living beings or the qi of a qi stone to get money of this world. Also, the source for speed recovery is
And with him being an orphan and outcast, he doesn't even have one qi stone, so how can he grow stronger?
