Ignoring the indifference that began resurfacing, Yu Sheng went back inside the Xu Clan Estates.
Since it was pretty early in the morning, 7 AM to be precise, there was hardly anyone walking around the estate except for a few servants.
'I am surprised time moves the same as on earth here.' Yu Sheng said in his mind as he look left and right trying to see if there was anyone except for the servants that was awake.
"There's no one. Are the people here so unprofessional to sleep all morning? Aren't they suppose to be business men?" He mumbled to himself. It was the same as when he arrived here yesterday. The place was simply desolated and quiet.
As a business man himself, he always made it his duty to wake up early in the morning to catch the business news and other related stuff before he heads to his father company.
"That's because everyone is cultivating." Suddenly an old voice came from behind Yu Sheng, spooking him.
Turning around he saw that it was Uncle Chen making him sigh in relief.
"Oh, its you... Uncle Chen." He greeted in a polite tone. He recall from Xu Wantian memories that he always seem to respect this old man.
"Did I scare you?" Uncle Chen chuckled.
"Is it common to be cultivating so early in the morning?" Yu Sheng asked, refusing to answer his question.
"Of course. Not only must we cultivate, we must also train our body to keep ourselves in peak condition." Uncle Chen replied.
"Or else we will end up like a certain individual." He sighed as he shook his head. Remembering what happened at the Blood Lake Prison his face soon turn ugly.
At the same time, he couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows. He began wondering why Xu Hei Tian kept the Qi Emperor in his position when he knew he would betray them.
'Now if anything goes wrong, the entire human race might just split into two factions. One fighting against the Central Domain and the other siding with them.' Reminded of the Evil Asylum Sect and the many evil cultivators that roam around the human race his mood got even worse.
"Keep this in mind Xu Wantian. If you don't cultivate diligently and focus on your training, your only purpose would be to serve others."
"Do you understand?" Uncle Chen stare at him with stern look, making him nervous.
"Yes Uncle Chen!" Yu Sheng gulped as he answer with a shout.
"Good. Now just like the rest you should also go cultivate. The Xu Emperor have high hopes of you. Do not waste your time idling around." Uncle Chen nodded with a satisfied look before heading to do his own business.
Seeing the man leave Yu Sheng sighed in relief.
'What a scary old man.' He thought to himself as he continue his journey to his room.
Arriving inside his room, the first thing he did was check around to see if he was being watched. As an cautious individual with many enemies back on earth, he was always paranoid about being watched.
Especially now that he was reborn into a world where being watched is a normal occurrence.
'Not to mention I am now inside the Xu Clan.' Reminded of Xu Weizhe special eyes and the fact that the Xu Emperor could easily read his thoughts his resolve to become stronger grew.
Finish checking every corner of the room he sat on the bed when he didn't find any surveillance device.
"It's not like I can do anything if they want to watch me." Yu Sheng sighed. Checking every corner of the room was merely a habit of his. He had no confidence in stopping any watchful eyes from staring at him.
After all, he's weak and the weak have no position in a world like this.
"A world the gods desire..." He muttered to himself. When he first heard that there were gods watching over the Blue Domain he didn't think much about it.
But now he couldn't help but wonder. Are the gods our enemies? A question the current him couldn't answer.
Yes, the gods want to forcefully take over this world, but that didn't mean they were all evil. For instance, the goddess he saw in his dreams. When he began thinking why he was reborn here, his only conclusion was that the goddess that always appear in his dreams was the cause.
"But what does she want from me?" This question also appear in his mind. No one would willing do something for someone without consequences or asking for a favor in the future.
Especially when it comes to the gods. Just like what happened with Yu An. The god gave her power at the request of killing the masked girl.
And Yu Sheng had a faint idea of why the god did this. Afterall, the masked girl didn't fear god and knowing mythology gods, especially greek gods. Their arrogant bastards that do whatever the fuck they want.
'They probably got angry seeing a mortal look down on them.' He chuckled at the thought.
Still the thought remain in his head on what this goddess wants from him. He figured this goddess is most likely the Yinyue Goddess as that would explain why he was born in the yinyue race.
"Whatever. I will just leave it to future me to do something about it. The current me doesn't even hold a candle to their power." He grumbled at how weak he was. For someone like him who was at the top of power when it comes to riches and influence back on earth, with the help of his talents he couldn't help but feel annoyed. The thought of starting everything over from scratch gave him both determination and immense frustration.
Afterall, the strongest power in this world is the power of an eternal. A power that not even gods would dare face alone.
And the only eternal in this world is the Eternal Unknown who seems determined to stay the only eternal in the Blue Domain.
Besides, its not like its that easy to become an eternal anyways. In order for someone to become an eternal they need to meet two requirements.
The first requirement is to resonate with something. It could be anything... a sword, a tree, even a stick.
As long as anyone can resonate and give sentience to that specific object then they can begin walking on the road to becoming an Eternal.
The second requirement is to give that object immortality. If the object cannot live on for eternity and is destroyed before then, then you have failed to become an Eternal Expert and will most likely never be able to become one.
Of course, the other option is to become a Domain Ruler, but even that is impossible. Especially in todays Era where the only people who can become Domain Rulers are people who have the power to rule over an entire domain. The Human Domain, Ancient Domain... You get the idea.
"Then again, not even Domain Rulers can face the gods." From what he read about the gods from a books he got from Yu Huan. The gods can easily expel any domain a human create simply because of their status as 'gods'.
In the end, mortals were never made to face gods. A rule created by the universe.
"But no one said a mortal cannot become a god..." At the thought of this, a wild theory entered his mind. In order to become a god, a mortal would need to understand a certain concept. That concept could be anything: war, destruction, beauty, you name it.
"If you think about it, a mortal who reaches the eternal realm can easily become a god. A God of Eternity or Eternal God." He touched his chin while his mind began thinking excitingly.
Eternity is pretty much a concept every god have. Since their basically immortal, such a concept is something they need in order to retain their immortality.
But... there has never been a god to ever progress in the concept of eternity. So what if an Eternal Expert who basically have the highest understanding of eternity were to become a god?
The answer would be that they would become one of the strongest gods in the world, close to gods of destruction and creation.
Afterall, they would essentially become the only god with strong understanding of the concept of eternity.
'Maybe that's why the Eternal Unknown refuses to let anyone become an eternal. He wants to be the first to achieve godhood so that in the future when other mortals becomes one, he can stop them from reaching the level of power he would possess.' Yu Sheng said in his mind with a hint of enlightenment in his eyes. He couldn't help, but admire the Eternal Unknown viciousness for doing anything to reach his end goal.
At the end of the day, if he was the first and only eternal expert... he would have done the same.
And for the last question. Are the gods his enemies? Or they evil?
"If it wasn't for that goddess, I wouldn't have developed this indifference attitude to the world that only destroyed my mentality, essentially causing me to develop insane fetishes." Yu Sheng concluded with a cold stare at the sky as if he was looking right into the face of the god that caused him so many struggles back on earth when it comes to emotions and people.
Thinking of all the illegal stuff he conducted just to satisfy his indifference he began growing afraid. He now have a new life that he plans to do things that he will enjoyed that he never did during his previous life due to his indifference, a new family he began to love very much and a whole new race of people who looks at him with loving, warm gazes as if he was their king or more specifically, their Progenitor.
Thinking of all of this Yu Sheng couldn't help but shuddered. If you ask him now, he would tell you that the gods were evil and cruel beings.
"But were not so different aren't we?" He sat up, crossed legged. The same as how gods are evil, mortals are also evil.
Coming to a conclusion to all the stuff in his mind he could not get off his shoulders, he closed his eyes as he enter a mediative stance with the intentions of going straight to Kai Realm, nineth stage in one swift motion.
However, what happened was totally not in his calculations. He woke up to see himself in a dark space.
"Don't tell me!" Thinking this was the Xu Emperor doing he began to panic. He did not want to meet that man again, much less experience death for the third time!
However, soon that thought left his mind as he soon saw that there was no resemblance that this was the dark space he was in before.
He immediately calmed down as he look around. He saw three objects and what seems to be two weapons.
The first object was a pair of headphones.
"Is that Eternal Melody? Could it be that I entered my mind space?" Remembering what was being discussed during the time he met the grannies of the yinyue race he came to this conclusion.
The other two objects were at pair of scissors and a miniature floating island.
If he were to guess, the scissors is his other birth mark: Twist of Fate. Though, he have no idea what the hell 'twist of fate' could mean.
The floating island that looks like a paradise is most likely his last birth mark, Dreamy World.
He admired the sight for a while before moving his attention to the two weapons.
The first weapon are two gloves or more specifically battle gauntlets.
[Eternal Gauntlets]
Description : Gauntlets that have the ability to gain sentience through the use of Eternal Melody. Due to being connected to this birth mark, it will gain the characteristics of whatever element that is chosen.
The system spoke in his head or more specifically, in his mind space, amazing him for how efficient the system can be sometimes and the description of the weapon.
He stare at the second weapon to see that it is a long spear called 'Eternal Long Spear'.
It basically have the same description as the Eternal Gauntlets and from closer examination of both weapons he realized the names will change for each element he use when using Eternal Melody and gain unique passive abilities.
"I wonder if I can bring these weapon out of my mind space." He muttered to himself.
"Its pretty obvious that you can." What he didn't expect was for someone to respond to him.
Alerted by the voice that was behind him, he quickly turn around while gaining some distance to see a man with black hair and grey eyes staring at him with an amused look.
His mind first went to Xu Weizhe, Xu Lengyu and even the Xu Emperor, but this man did not resemble them at all!
"WHO ARE YOU?!"
