"Do you really want to hear the answer?" Atticus Finch asked.
Seeing Alex nodding his head, he fell in silence for a few seconds and then said, "The moment you entered the Abyss, I noticed you. You are special, I can tell your soul is not complete as a tiny part of your soul is sealed. If you want to unseal that part of your sealed soul, you have to become stronger and reach a specific cultivation stage."
"I can also tell that your soul is much stronger than other people of this world. Even the strongest cultivator of this world can't compare to you when it comes to soul and soul power. It means this is your second life. Somehow, you've reincarnated. And in your first life, you must be an extremely powerful being who stood far above others, at least, even the strongest cultivator of this world can't enter your eyes."
"I'm also sure you don't have memories of your previous life since you were unable to break the Nine Small Illusions. As a person who stood far above others of this world, even if you were to be a Foundation Establishment Stage martial warrior, you would have broken the Nine Small Illusions. However, you failed to do so, this alone is enough to prove you don't have the memories of your previous life."
"Well, these are the reasons why I chose you. You are the only person I let enter the Stairway To Chaos for trial from the moment I created the Stairway To Chaos. Although I'm sealed, I still have full control over the Stairway To Chaos. For eons, I traveled to many worlds in order to look for a fated person who can unseal me. However, I never come across a person who was qualified to take my trials of Stairway To Chaos. You are the first person."
"Well, there is another reason why I chose you." Saying this, Atticus Finch looked into Alex's eyes and suddenly smiled, saying again, "It is because I can't read your fate. It seems you are a fateless person. For some reason, the Will of Universe doesn't seem to recognize you, as if you are not even a part of this Universe."
"This is strange. Isn't it?"
Alex was shocked. He didn't know how to react after hearing all these things. The answer of Atticus Finch solved a few puzzles he was confused about, however, at the same time, his answers also caused many new questions to appear in his mind.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe was confused at first because, although it was really his second life, in his first life, he was not even able to cultivate. He was a total loser, a trash who couldn't cultivate and could only rely on his powerful parents to live a comfortable life and even order around powerful martial warriors.
According to Atticus Finch, he should be an extremely powerful person in his previous life, even more powerful than the strongest cultivator of this world. However, this was not the truth.
So, why does Atticus say such things?
Suddenly, he remembered when he was killed and his soul was transmigrated to this world from the Clear Sky World. At that time, the system activated. While it was activating, it said his soul (two halves of the soul) has been fused perfectly.
Thinking about this, Alex suddenly thought, that half of his soul was living in the Clear Sky World while another half of his soul was living in this world. After he was killed, half of his soul came to this world somehow and fused with the other half of the soul. This means that this life couldn't be considered his second life, because his soul never died completely and only came to this world and fused with the other half of the soul that was living his life in this world as other Alex White.
Then, he once again thought of the System that kept calling him originator. He could also feel that system is a very important part of his soul, it is not an outside object. It means the system is born from his soul.
If what Atticus said is the truth, then he might really have a previous life where he was a very powerful martial warrior, to the extent where he used his own soul to create a system that can duplicate other people's attributes. If this is true, then many things can be explained, such as, why his soul was in two halves and was living two lives at the same time.
It can be explained with a theory that he suddenly thought of. In his previous life where he was an extremely powerful expert, something must have happened that caused his soul to separate into two and transmigrate into two different worlds, born as two different people, and live two different lives until one of him was killed, causing half of the soul to look for its other half and fuse with it, making his soul complete. This might also be the condition for awakening the system that he has awakened.
Of course, everything he thought was just a theory of his own. It was true or not, no one can say unless he remembers everything about his previous life.
However, he chose to believe in this theory because only this theory can say why, in his attribute pannel, there was an attribute of Sealed Memories which is 10%.
He clearly remembers everything about his self of Clear Sky World and this world, then where do these 10% sealed memories come from?
Atticus Finch told him that his soul is extremely powerful, surpassing anyone in this world.
Now that he thinks about it, inside the tomb of thousands of people, when Evil Spirit appeared in front of him and he chose to absorb it through the system, an extremely shocking soul force burst out from his body, enveloping the Evil Spirit, and swallowing it in an instant.
If his soul is not powerful, it can't be proved why he had erupted with such a shocking soul force.
Now, many things became clear to Alex. However, at the same time, many questions also appeared in his mind such as, who was he in his previous life? What happened that caused him to reincarnate as two separate people in two different worlds? What is this system and how did he manage to create it? Why the system only absorbs people's emotions, giving him Energy Points to replicate other people's talents and treasures?
Many such questions appeared in his mind.
He also thought about what Atticus Finch said of him being not from this Universe/
Why does Atticus say something like this?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe has already traveled from one world to another so he knew that there are many worlds out there, however, is the same goes for the Universe.
Come to think of it, he doesn't even know what the so-called Universe means?
Since he didn't even know what a Universe is, how would he know what recognized by the Wills of the Universe means!
With questioning eyes, he looked at Atticus Finch who was closely observing his constantly changing expressions with a smile on his face. He has already expected such things from Alex the moment he decided to tell Alex the truth.
When Alex entered the Abyss, he was still in his sealed state. Traveling through worlds one after another for eons in his sealed state is by no means easy. It has already put a lot of loads on his soul, causing his soul to be extremely exhausted.
Before, whatever world he descended with the Stairway Of Chaos, he'll only stay there for a year, two years, or a hundred years at maximum before moving out and going to other worlds. In this period of time, he'll scan the world with his powerful soul for a fated person only to be disappointed.
Continuously doing this for eons caused his soul to exhaust. After landing on this world, he fell into a deep sleep. This was also the reason why no one was able to find the 'meteor' that had fallen from outer space in the past hundred thousand years.
He was deep asleep for a hundred thousand years, however, a few months ago, he was suddenly woken up by the Stairway Of Chaos that send him a message that it has detected the presence of an extremely strong soul that seems to have suddenly appeared.
After waking up, he still needed a few years of time if he wants to scan this world completely and look for the fated person. However, scanning a small country like the Red Leaf Country was not that difficult for him. He immediately scanned and detected Alex whose soul had already fused perfectly at that moment and the system was also awakened.
From that day onward, he started keeping an eye on Alex. He watched Alex grow stronger step by step but very quickly.
