"What are you saying Ancestor? How will I die, what will happen after inheriting your powers?" The flustered Liu Yan sent a barrage of question on Liu Lei.
"This whole place is still standing because I am alive, once the transfer of powers happens this remnant soul of mine will face out of existence and the cave will collapse burring you with it. If that happens even if you have my powers, you will not have much control over it so it is not possible to that you will come out alive from it." Liu Lei explained patiently.
"Hehe…Ancestor, I fell like someone with high bloodline percentage should inherit your powers. I will go to the palace and send some one over here, there is no need to waste such golden opportunity on this lowly me." As soon as hearing clarification from Liu Lei, Liu Yan backed out immediately 'Did this man has gone senile?! I have not came here to die, in any case those resources procured from the forbidden regions can help me live comfortably for the rest of my life. There is no need to get his powers if I am going to die.'
Liu Lei who happened to predict this instantaneously said "Calm down, all right? Its not you will totally die, I will transport you to another place called Earth from originally I came from. There you will take over another person's body randomly."
Liu Yan seemed to clam down but was still inwardly worried 'What the heck is this another transmigration? And what is taking over someone's body randomly, if that man is crippled or in worst case impotent what will happen of me?!' Liu Yan felt like crying, even pools of tears began to form at edges of his pupils.
Liu Lei as if sensing his descendant's distress explained "Don't worry you will be taking over a new born baby's body, in my current form I cannot transport your soul to a grown up man's body."
"Ancestor is great, thank you, thank you…" Liu Yan expressed his gratitude profusely, thinking to himself, 'This old man gave me a mini heart attack. Just few months over I transmigrated into this alien human abomination, I don't know whether I will be tolerate another messed up transmigration.'
"Hmm…Settle down, I will transfer a body enhancing technique to you. Depending on your body and progress it will take at least 4 to 5 years to fully learn and use this technique to bring your body to peak. After that your soul will naturally expand with strong body as a medium. Once your soul and body reach equilibrium the process of transferring will start. As I will be sending your soul to Earth, all the power which will be transferring to your body, the traces of them will also merge within your soul. Are there any questions you want to ask?" Liu Lei explained the gist of power inheriting process to Liu Yan.
Liu Yan seemed to think for a moment and asked "Will there be any problems once I reach Earth? If only soul will be moved to another body, how will I use the powers?"
Liu Lei had anticipated this and replied "The only problem while power transferring process will be that it will be more painful as your strong soul cannot be molded to fit my powers within. Since you will be taking over a new born baby's body most of the powers of soul will be sealed and as you grow, your soul will be make your new body inhabitable for powers. Each year a new super power will unlock itself and the body will adjust to best possible condition to accommodate them. This process can shortened using the technique I will be transferring. By your 18th birthday all the power which I bestowed you will unlock themselves."
"Also while transferring my knowledge about supernatural techniques and alien technology be careful. While your soul have no problem, your willpower might not able to sustain it." Liu Lei continued.
"I understand Ancestor. You can start teaching the technique to me." Liu Yan said with excitement reflected in his eyes.
"All right. Let's start."
***
4 years later,
In the cave Liu Yan was sitting cross-legged and rhythmically inhaling and exhaling, the remnant soul of Liu Lei watching was over him as he was practicing the technique. Liu Yan's training will be completed today, not much earlier than the estimated time by Liu Lei but still couple of months before it.
Liu Yan learnt the body enchantment technique in just few weeks which is attributed to his godly comprehension before starting the training.
One thing which is biting Liu Yan for the last four years is that, even after the death of original Liu Yan of Bright Flame World the transmigrated Liu Yan has the soul quality of the original. Not just the quality even the skills and fighting techniques the original developed are still in his brain, without them it was uncertain whether he would be able to cross the forbidden regions. He put them in the corner of his mind and concentrated on training.
After a while, Liu Yan opened his eyes and exhaled a mouthful of murky breath. Liu Lei looked him from top to bottom and nodded satisfactory saying "You have reach the maximum body limit of humans, the transferring process of powers and my knowledge can be started now."
"I am ready ancestor, you can start anytime." Liu Yan nodded and said.
"All right, I'll begin now. Be ready it will be lot painful." Liu Lei said in concern. Liu Yan just nodded and said nothing but his eyes blazed with determination.
Just as Liu Lei started the process of transferring his powers, Liu Yan felt excruciating pain, at the start it was just his body but after sometime it reached even his soul.
"Ahh…"
Liu Yan was feeling like his whole body was ripped apart and each cell was extracted filling with some unknown energy and then again mended back to its place. The pain of soul was so intense that it cannot be described with words. Before this he was a normal college going boy who was sheltered and pampered his whole life by his parents, there is no way that he can manage keep his consciousness after this.
Large amounts of memories, experience and knowledge began to pour into his soul. Liu Yan's soul was very resilient even with large amount of information assimilated into his soul it didn't even show any signs of exertion and crazily devoured everything given to it. Liu Yan's brain which was processing all this information was not able to keep up with the influx of all this. His brain worked in overdrive and to sustain such vigorous mental activity, Liu Yan's body was not able to provide adequate support.
Even though he had brought his body to limits of human he was not able to keep up with such enormous requirements. Along with this, the transfer of powers which in itself was a extremely painful process, Liu Yan felt like dying.
Foam started coming out from his mouth, just as he was about to give up, a voice sounded "Don't lose control, hold on for a few moments and it will be over." Liu Lei said sensing that Liu Yan was about to give up. Liu Yan steeled himself and just as Liu Lei said after a few moments the pain receded.
"Ha…ha..Is it finally over?!"
While it was just few minutes in real time, it felt like decades to Liu Yan, who was swimming in his own consciousness all this while.
"Yes it is over, we should start the transmigration process as soon as possible." Liu lei said in hurry. Liu Yan who was bent over from the pain looked up to see almost faded shadow of Liu Lei, just as he was about to answer, a loud rumbling noise superseded him.
"It looks like I cannot hold much longer. I will start the process now." Liu Lei knew that the rumbling noise signified the collapse of the cave which was because he has almost exhausted his energy. Using all his remaining energy he open a rift in the space and hastily said "Go into the rift while it is stabilized by my energy and you be sent to Earth. You will take over a random boy who is being born now."
Liu Yan was still clueless of what is happening. He had depleted his life energy from getting the powers and mental energy from processing the information gained, ran towards the rift like running for life. Just as he was one step away from the rift, he looked back to Liu Lei and solemnly said "Ancestor if one day I meet those God, I will be sure to avenge you."
Liu Lei who was not expecting such words momentarily blanked out and replied while shaking his illusionary head, "There is no need for such promises, just live your life and continue our lineage. Your soul will change your body from within just like it previously was, so your bloodline will be same as previous one."
Using the remaining energy he pushed Liu Yan into the rift. Liu Yan who was not expecting the force of push stumbled into the rift.
Liu Lei who was on his last legs and was about to fade out of existence. As if remembering some thing he opened his mouth and said "Oh right, until you get all your powers that is till your 18th you cannot have sex. Remember this!"
Liu Yan who just entered the rift, after hearing the words of Liu Lei wanted to curse for late reminder. Just as he wanted to open his mouth, Liu Yan was engulfed within the darkness.
