The aged man was really pleased with Dio answer, saying good thrice he loosen up to tell Dio about himself
"I am but a will and where you are standing now is my domain, a will of cosmogony, the most powerful being to exist but he became too bord standing at the peek alone so he made me and gave my his inheritance to look for a heir for him while he final put himself to rest, I have be searching for many millennium till today"
Not buying one thing of what the aged man is saying he past in on as part of his awkward character and the tales he tell due to been alone for too long
"so why had nobody ever get the inheritance?"
"because nobody has been able to meet the criteria to trigger the inheritance, but you just did"
"me, how?"
"you walk into this cave half dead with a will raging against the heavens in heart, that was the first test, you refuse life and willingly embraced death if life is all Rossy but with free will as the price, that was the second test, you still want to stand out even in death and not give in to how everyone else think, that was the third test, those question I asked you were all part of the test too, your pride, ambition and will made you pass the test, now that you know about me and my burden do mind carrying it with you and receive the inheritance?"
"what is the catch, you are not going to tell me its has no chains attached right?"
"smart kid, but yeah you are right, there is just three rules, first you must never bow down for anyone or anything. two. you must show the might of the great cosmogony through out you life and nature as you will now be the new cosmogony and lastly reach the pinnacle of it all. I don't think it too difficult for you do right?"
"no its not but how will I be so sure thats all there is to it and no hidden one?"
"boy am more than that to trick you into the succession of this inheritance, I've been around for many millenniums and I can still do, I could simply just kill you and go back into hibernation till the next successor come." The age man was a bit furious with Dio question.
"ok OK its not up to that yet I believed you, so what should I do?"
"nothing, just sit in a meditative pose and drip some blood into this crystal orb will ya, and i will do everything else"
sitting down Dio bit on his thumb, dripping blood of the orb, the orb light up intensely before merging with Dio soul after which foreign knowledge pour into Dio mind, clenching his head he let out a scream. after a while he calm down and look up, seeing smiling face of the age man gazing at him. Focusing his attention once more on the knowledge he just got Dio gasp in shock,
"amazing right"
nodding without speaking due to still been in shock of what he discovered, recollecting himself he ask, what grade is this inheritance.
"puuua...aaau what did you say kid, can you even grade this divine talent?"
"Ooh sorry for asking"
"alright kid my time is up I get to go now, wishing you all the best on your journey to the top and as a parting gift here is rank five mortal beast core, take care of yourself, lastly k just remember you are not dead, hahahaha"
"whaaaa....AAT am not dead?"
"hahahahahahaha you are not, it was just your soul that was pull here, the voice of will began to fade out of existence, the next second Dio eyes blur once more and he was back at the cave. recollecting himself he pay his last respect to the will aged man.
"thank you for choosing me, I know your are gone but you will always live on in me, from now on am cosmogony and will never bow down my head ever again even to the heaven!".
