"So to answer your questions, I am an ancient cultivator who was alive thousands of years ago, but now I am nothing but a wisp of soul. You don't need to know too much about me. I was the one who saved you as I awoke when your blood touched the ring and bonded with it and brought you here."
"So where is this, where am I and what year is it? Chris asked.
"I didn't know where and when this is nor do I know whose body is this. Since the only thoughts inside your mind were to get another chance at life just moments before dying, I chose to fulfill that wish so I brought your soul back in time when you just came into this world. "
"Ohoo , so that means I am back in time and can live once again an- wait you just said when I just came into this world. So that means you know that I wasn't originally born into this world but my soul transmigrated here. " Chris exclaimed loudly, but how can he not, him not being from this world was a secret he never told to anyone and now this woman is telling him that she knows about his secret.
" Of course I know, I have already read your memories completely and know all about you, since our souls are merged together, well not souls but only a wisp of my soul is merged with you and that too is going to disappear soon."
"Okay, I don't know how but I think I understand what you are saying; so how much time do you have before disappearing?"
"I will disappear in a few hours as the only reason I was keeping myself from extinguishing was to find a suitable successor to pass down my legacy". the woman said in a nonchalant tone.
"But before that, I wanna ask; how did you turn back time, just how strong are you and if you are this strong how did you die in the first place?" Chris asked.
"Boy, you have not seen the world enough, you don't know what true strength is. All the humans alive right now are very weak. I can defeat most of them even in this form well except a few handfuls. The truly strong humans used to be thousand years ago, even at that time turning back time for more than 10 years was something only a couple of beings can do, but at least people with strong backgrounds and strength knew about it. But nowadays the concept of controlling time is something long lost and nobody even imagines it."
" At that time I was fighting a truly strong being in the draconian mountains, with the flattery of everyone around me I got complacent and arrogant in my own strength and went to challenge the fight for which I had paid for my life. I was never talented in Martial or magic arts, of course I would be considered a genius for the people of this era but the only reason I was able to reach that level of strength in my previous life was only because of being blessed and getting a heaven defying body with unlimited potential during birth, I also had a stronger soul than others, so I was able to become the strongest even without talent.
After the fight I truly realised how weak I was but by that time it was already too late. I somehow escaped from the mountains but the injuries were too serious, I knew I wouldn't be able to live long, so I created the underground site to hide the ring and my legacy and find a worthy successor for me.
The golems in the cave were designed so that the first golem will have the exact same cultivation level as the Challenger and the second golem will have one stage higher cultivation than the Challenger, also they were made to use the same weapon as the Challenger but even than they were programmed with top class swordsmanship arts and were better than a human being in every physical aspect. To be able to defeat them shows how much talent you have and as for the potential and resources; leave them to me, I will give you all my gifts and one day you will become the strongest human to ever walk on this land."
After hearing so much Chris's mind went in trance but only for a few seconds in which he digested all this additional information. He knew there's nothing he can do about it now, 'become the strongest human in history: yeah sure but first I have to be strong enough to stop the destruction of the Stark Empire and take revenge on the Horten family and Simon Empire'. " Speaking of revenge and all, where is this place and who am I ?"
The woman than said "I have blocked the memories of this body fro reaching your soul since you were still confused about the situation. I suggest now that you quickly properly merge with this body since I don't have enough power left to bring your soul in another dead body."
As soon as she said that Chris began to feel a splitting headache but this time he was able to maintain his consciousness since he had already experienced it once before when he merged with Charles's body.
After a few minutes which felt like eternity, the headache came to cease.
During that time Chris was really wishing that he faints since the pain was too much to bear while being conscious.
After successfully organizing the new set of memories inside his head, he slowly began to recall them one by one.
Firstly, he was still in the Stark Empire and had returned more than ten years back in time.
He was startled after finding out that he returned in 9th month of year 240 of the Stark Calendar. It was even 3 months before I transmigrated and entered Charles body.
As soon as Chris found that out he asked" how come I returned 3 months even before I came to this world"?
"Boy, do you think it's easier to reverse time back to more than a decade, all while being just a wisp of soul. I tried my best to bring you back closest to the time you came into this world but I failed to control my power and accidentally used a little more than needed and ended up being 3 months before the intended time."
Hearing this a wide grin came on Chris's face, He thought ' Since I came 3 months before I will use my future knowledge to gain many opportunities and items. All the things that I could only dream of obtaining will be mine this time. The only regretful thing is that I won't be able to live with the Alaxender family in this life but since there are 3 months left before Charles's death this time I will definitely save him and help the Alexander family to bring them back to their former glory'.
But before he could think his new identity came to his mind and he couldn't help but laugh maniacally about his new body.
After laughing like a madman he calmed down and Muttered his new identity " Robb Stark, the third prince of Stark Empire."
