GETTING PAST SHURA
"Wait, I found it. You have another place inside of your soul, the Shangri-la realm. I can rest there while you bring me out of my tomb", Emperor Tian told me.
My Shangri-la realm was created with a special magic taught to me by Emperor Tian called Feng Shui. Feng Shui could replicate the magic of a place inside my soul realm and the replicated view possessed a part of the magic place's original powers.
I lost all my Feng Shui magic when the Dark Angel took over my soul realm. Only the Shangri-la space remained.
The Shangri-la realm was the magic that I obtained from the realm of Shangri-la. This Feng Shui created a magical space inside my soul realm that was distinct from my soul.
My teacher, Emperor Tian could harbor inside my Shangri-la space while we leave this place.
Soon, Emperor Tian disappeared as his soul found rest inside my Shangri-la space.
"Is the ghost gone yet?" Xene asked me.
"He is hiding in my soul for now", I replied to her.
"I don't get what is happening here. Did you know the ghost in a former life? Are you a reincarnated soul?" Xene asked me.
"Yes, this is my second life", I replied to her.
"No wonder you managed to escape from the Well when we were young, you already know the master of this realm in a previous life. He must have sent you back. Us back", Xene said to me and speculated.
"I really don't remember about that", I replied to her.
"I know. You lost your memory when you were young. I was wondering how you suddenly changed so much in the past year and know so many strange magic. Did you recover your memories from your previous life?" Xene asked me.
"You can think of it that way", I replied to her.
"Wow, I wish I had a spectacular former life too", Xene told me.
"You have a good life, in this life. You should be contented", I told the girl.
"I've emptied this place of treasures. Now how do we get out of here?" Ratatouille asked me.
"We go through the sarcophagus. There is a magic portal inside it", I told them.
"There is a portal inside the coffin?" Xene asked me.
"And hold me tightly once we cross over. There is an enormous monster there with eight hands, called Shura. Shura's hands move so fast, so it's impossible to evade them", I said to them.
"Then how are we getting through the monster?" Xene asked me.
"There is an exit from the place and the exit is situated in the monster's navel", I told them.
"Ew…that is so disgusting", Xene said to me.
"Do you want to leave this place or not? That is the only exit", I replied to her.
"Yes", she replied to me as she jumped on my back and held on to me tightly.
"How do you plan to evade the monster's many hands?" Ratatouille asked me.
"I don't plan to evade the hands", I replied to him.

Shura, a colossal monster with eight lightning-fast limbs, wielded the power to ensnare victims and crush them to their demise with his mighty grasp.
Soon, Shura's peace was abruptly interrupted by the intrusion of many shadowy figures.
In a swift reaction, Shura's hands ensnared the invaders, aiming to crush them within his grasp. However, to his bewilderment, the figures eluded his crushing force, seamlessly transforming into shadows upon capture.
Puzzled by this unexpected turn, Shura pondered strategies to eradicate the elusive shadows.
Yet, his contemplation was interrupted by the arrival of more intruders. With no spare hands to address the newcomers, Shura reluctantly allowed them to linger, intending to confront them after dealing with the shadowy problem first.
However, these newcomers proved crafty, targeting Shura's vulnerable belly.
Before Shura could discern their intentions, they darted into his belly button, vanishing into the abyss within. With their disappearance, the shadowy figures captured earlier also evaporated, leaving Shura to grapple with the enigmatic puzzle that now enveloped his realm.

"Disciple, you managed to pass through my jailer, Shura again", Emperor Tian, my teacher said to me.
"Yes, it was a lot easier this time", I replied to him.
"You passed the Shura this time with your Malevolent Slaves, how did you pass them last time?" Ratatouille asked me curiously.
"Last time, I had the use of the magic of Doppel. I can transform into nine of myself, but Shura destroyed eight of my Doppels causing serious injury to me that time", I replied to him.
"You can also transform into multiple of you? What magical world did you come from?" Xene asked me.
"That was in another life", I replied to her.
"Now, how do we get out from here? We are not out of this damn world yet", Ratatouille asked me.
We were inside a cozy room that was illuminated by a fireplace in the middle.
"The last time I escaped from here was through this fireplace", I told him.
"Is there a magic portal in there?" Ratatouille asked me.
"No, but there are fractures to space inside the fireplace. Last time, I called out to the world from there", I told them.
"Seriously, someone could hear you from that fireplace?" Xene asked me.
"Yes, Tori heard me because she was thinking about me", I told them.
"Who is Tori?" Xene asked me curiously.
"She is my wife from another life", I replied to her.
"How did Tori get you out from here?" Ratatouille asked me.
"She summoned me out of this realm. She's a powerful witch", I replied to her.
"Can you call Tori to summon you out now?" Xene asked me.
"I'm afraid not. Tori passed away", I replied to her.
"Then how the hell do we get out from here?" Ratatouille asked me.
"I do have something in me that may bring me out of this world", I said to them as I brought out a gem before I crushed it.
"What is the gem?" Xene asked me.
