"Ye Tian, can you hear me?" (????)
Rex slowly opened his eyes, when he turned his head to look down, he was surprised to find that he couldn't see his body, he couldn't feel his body, it was like he was playing some first-person game. Rex quickly started to think what could have happened and looked around to check his surrounding, he discovered that all the area around him was covered in white fog but somehow he felt very familiar with this place.
'My… Sea Of Consciousness?' Rex suddenly realized. After discovering that it was his Sea Of Consciousness he relaxed, he had opened his Sea Of Consciousness when stepping into the Soul Strengthening stage so he knew that he can only look around and won't have a body to feel anything.
He then turned up to look in the direction where the voice from earlier came from, he saw a small light sphere floating above in his Sea Of Consciousness like a mini-sun in the sky.
'Hey, what is it?' Rex asked without responding to the voice holder.
[I don't know, it appeared out of nowhere,]
'Hmmm… a person who could do something like that isn't a normal person, from the voice alone she is a woman. Wait is she trying to take over my body? Or maybe she wants something.. she wouldn't have noticed the system… Right? No matter what she wants if I act too cautious and smart she might see me as a threat, but if I play too foolish and she knows something about me then she will see me as a bigger threat. Yes… the best thing to do will be to act just like when I was Ye Tian,' Rex was calm on the surface but he put forth all the possibilities he could think of and deduced a solution.
"This voice…. Wait, who is inside my head? Do you think you can seduce me with your voice, you old lady?" Rex suddenly said in an annoyed tone.
"Huh? Hehe… Seduce you? So now, I started to seduce my on that's new, even for me… " (????)
Her reply almost made Rex's mind go black then the calmness was replaced by hatred, anger, confusion… Rex quickly forced himself to calm down.
'Me and her son? Is this woman using such a lie to let me bow to her? Or maybe she really is my biological mother but it doesn't matter, either way, I was on my own until now anyway and I will do the same in the future, I don't know what a carrying mother would look like but the one who threw me would definitely not the one I would want especially after 16 years of life and death struggle,' Rex thought.
He remained silent for a few minutes with his closed eyes, he was thinking of all the possibilities including if she was lying or if she was speaking the truth.
'Hmm…He didn't overreact nor did he asked any questions and tried to figure out the answers on his own. He is indeed my son, he has my persona more than his siblings, and especially he is not like his damn lazy father,' She was just thinking when Rex opened his eyes.
When Rex opened his eyes, he looked more serious than before, his temperament looked a little different. He thought over it and realized that acting like Ye Tian won't do much in this situation as with Ye Tian personality he might have to get emotional and do what she says.
'It's better to go with the flow and act like a smart and rebellious child, showing maturity would be suspicious,' Rex thought.
"You are not real, It's just a projection you created with some technique and placed it inside my body long ago," Rex deduced his theory.
"Correct," (????)
"You are here because my bloodline is very close to awakening," Rex said calmly.
"Correct," (????)
"So as long as I can awaken my bloodline I am useful and can be called your son otherwise I am a trash and in case that this trash may somehow awaken his bloodline someday then it will turn into useful category ..correct?" Rex asked without any change in his tone.
"Corre… Huh? Say what?" (????)
"Do I have to repeat that to you again… It's not like the real you can even listen to me, you are just a projection aren't you?" Rex said.
"Hey, who said that? I am actually contacting you in real-time, that's why I left my astral projection in you and do you really think you will be alive if I was interested in your bloodline? Mine is much purer than yours hehe… " (????)
'Indeed, but this proves that she can track my location, it was right for me to not spout curses or give off the act after knowing that it was fake but just what cultivation base has she reached to be able to do something like putting whatever projection in others body… I don't know if a Spirit King could do that,' Rex thought.
"Should I consider it as a threat?" Rex said in a displeased tone. He wasn't that worried about taking her as an enemy that much, with the ability he has, he was pretty sure he could rise in the future, at that time if they really come for him then would he just sit back and let them do whatever they want?
"Haaa? Sigh… Looks like I got another weird child, welcome to the family kid," (????)
"Who's your family? Just come to the point, what do you want? You won't contact me after 16 years just to spout such nonsense, tell me what do you want?" Rex said.
'It's better if I know her motive, that way I can be more careful when making plans in the future,' Rex thought.
'Looks like he has no intention of believing me, furthermore, he is smart and cautious for his age, a diamond in the rough if I have to say but it just means that it will be harder to save him when the news of him being alive goes out… Sigh… I should just tell him the truth, he is already mature I can only hope that he understands,' (????)
"Huff… Okay, kid open your ears and listen. You want to know, why are you here right? I will make the long story short. Your mother meaning me is from Sura Clan.
It's more appropriate to say we are from the General Branch of the Sura Clan. The General Sura Branch is slightly weaker than other branches because of its lesser attack power although I was born in that branch but unlike others, I was a little different for a General Sura Bloodline holder," (????)
