"Why am I fateless?" Arthur questioned, his eyes seeking answers in the gaze of his past incarnation.
The ethereal figure offered a cryptic smile, "You will find out when you continue your journey in your memories."
"But to that, you have to break through to the fourth level of the Nine Heavens Soul Technique, and the truth will unfold."
Determination flickered in Arthur's eyes.
"Alright, what next?" Arthur asked.
"Enter the memory of the Mortal Emperor version of ourselves," the incarnation beckoned.
With a nod, Arthur stepped into the mirror that held the memories of the Mortal Emperor incarnation.
Soon he awoke as someone else.
In this realm, he was reborn as Daruen, an orphan of common origin.
