"H-How...how this thing even follow me in this life...?"
What Wu Yan saw was a Pagoda. The 9-story pagoda, red pegs which symbolize good luck, a bronze roof which generally conveys positive energy, gold ornaments which symbolize wealth, plus purple walls are a symbol of royalty.
Indeed, what he saw was a very luxurious pagoda. But, in his mind, it wasn't just an ordinary object or building, it was more a symbol of the determination he had in surviving his past life.
This pagoda is a display on his work desk. This pagoda for a decade was a witness to what he went through physically and mentally in his past life.
In addition, because he likes reading various eastern fantasy novels, he likes to imagine that he lives in a novel and has the power to summon a pagoda which is a house and various realms within it. How great is that?
Wu Yan started to approach the pagoda. With only a few steps between him and the pagoda, he started to raise his hand to touch the pagoda. Walking slowly, still with a trembling face, he began to approach the pagoda in front of him.
Finally, the hand began to touch the front side of the Pagoda. Wu Yan started gently rubbing the Pagoda pillars. Gradually, his expression began to soften.
"It seems, you're back to accompany me again, right..." Wu Yan spoke to the pagoda as if they were old friends who had just met again.
With the words Wu Yan threw out, it gave a subtle reaction to the pagoda it touched.
*NNGG*
The response elicited by the pagoda made Wu Yan raise his eyebrows. With a brief thought, He had an idea.
He finally said "It seems, this pagoda has consciousness. It's possible that this is the result of the accumulation of all the emotions I experienced in my past life. Since this pagoda has consciousness, it could probably be categorized as a high-grade weapon, well, although I don't know its value because it already has its own spiritual consciousness. If I do something like dripping my blood on this Pagoda, will the object accept me as its owner?"
With that, Wu Yan injured his right hand causing it to bleed. The blood then came out staining his hands.
Since Wu Yan felt this blood was enough, he Then said "Hope this is fine."
He then raised his hand again towards the Pagoda and wiped his blood on the walls of the Pagoda.
Suddenly...
*BZZZ*
*BZZZ*
*NNGG*
*NNGG*
The great response from the pagoda was thunderous. With a loud hum and several sparks of lightning starting to strike from the top of the Pagoda, the pagoda started to shake.
As for Wu Yan, he was indeed a little surprised by the pagoda's response. But he remained calm. Because, this pagoda was within him and he also believed this response would not affect his body or soul too much.
Then, golden light began to shine from the pagoda. And...
*SWUSH*
The golden light from the pagoda began to split in all directions, then flew everywhere before finally gathering into one and flying slowly towards Wu Yan's front.
Wu Yan had a feeling of closeness from that light. Perhaps, because the blood he had smeared on the pagoda provided a bond to the light in front of it.
Slowly the light in front of Wu Yan took shape, revealing an entity, a woman approximately 18 years old. The manifestation of light was like crystallizing, slowly forming an entity, giving color to his body, and presenting an incomparably perfect figure in front of Wu Yan.
Wu Yan was also amazed by the transformation taking place in front of him.
The figure slowly opened his eyes, and his gaze immediately fell on Wu Yan.
"Hi again, old friend..." said the woman to Wu Yan who was in front of her.
Her first words make him so stunned and Wu Yan also speechless.
Without waiting for a reply, the woman continued to say "I know you must be confused. Why? That question must have gone through your head a lot. But, what is clear now is that you are a good person and living unfairly in your old 'place', so I took you to a new 'place' so you can have a better life experience. That's all. If you have questions, ask them out."
The information given by the woman was like a bomb shaking an island, or like a water ripple shaking a calm lake to Wu Yan's mind.
Wu Yan started to regulate his breathing to calm himself while digesting the information that had just been released by the entity in front of him.
"Okay, okay. I won't blame you. Because I'm also relieved after getting rid of the physical and mental burden I experienced in my past life. So thank you." Wu Yan said.
Then, he continued "Now, I'll get straight to the point. Are you the spirit of this pagoda? Where did you come from that you could be stranded in my world? And what use do you have?"
"To your first question, my answer is Yes. I am the spirit of this pagoda. And this pagoda has access to countless worlds.
My existence is also related to your second and third question. Previously, I was just a Pagoda that functioned to teleport to other places in my world. At that time, I had not yet formed consciousness because I was limited by the Dao that existed in my world. At that time, my world experienced a medium-scale war, but one of the parties had the ability to tear the void. This caused my body, which was the Pagoda, to drift into the void. It is in this emptiness that I thrive. From my own function which is an extension to other places, I have the capability to absorb space energy, void energy, and chaos energy. In fact, this chaotic energy makes me have varying energies. Apart from that, the long time I was in the void made me develop further so that I could master many laws, especially the laws of space, emptiness, and chaos.
My existence, which used to only be able to access or go to places around me, now allows me to reach countless realms. This reason meant that my existence at that time was beyond Dao itself.
Even though this seems too strong, this is also what scares me. It's not about how all beings know or don't know about my existence, but the feeling of being abandoned and forgotten that makes me very afraid..."
