In a remote corner of the universe, there existed a region where Chaos Energy surged like an eternal storm. This energy was so overwhelming that it could destroy anything that dared approach it. Yet, amidst this storm of chaos stood a magnificent Golden Palace, exuding an unshakable majesty.
The palace was like an oasis in the midst of a chaotic desert, radiating a calming light and forming a stable space within the destructive energy. Every pillar, every wall, and every carving within the palace was flawless, reflecting an artistry that could only be crafted by divine hands.
Inside one of its vast and elegant chambers was a woman of unparalleled beauty. Her golden hair shimmered like sunlight on the surface of pure gold. Her figure was perfect, emanating an aura that could make every woman in the universe envious and every man mesmerized. She was the embodiment of perfection, without blemish or flaw.
Her form glowed with a holy aura so strong it felt as though the entire universe existed solely to worship her. However, beneath her grandeur and power lay a profound loneliness. This woman had lived longer than any mortal could ever comprehend.
Sitting on a golden throne adorned with jewels, she gazed into the distance, as if looking at an unreachable future. "It seems there are still a few hundred years before that child is born," she murmured. Her voice was soft yet brimming with power, like the whisper of wind across a desert.
She let out a long sigh. "It's a shame that child will lack the Chaos bloodline," she continued, her voice tinged with a hint of disappointment. "Should I summon a soul from that place instead?"
Before she could finish her thought, she suddenly sensed something—a faint, fragile fragment of a soul approaching her abode. The woman smiled faintly. With a wave of her hand, the space around her trembled, and the fragment of a soul appeared before her.
The soul seemed weak and delicate, like a small candle flickering in the midst of a storm. But there was something unusual about it. The woman studied it closely, her eyes sparkling like stars. "I didn't expect to find a soul from that place, and this soul has an exceptionally high affinity with Chaos itself," she said, her voice filled with curiosity.
She smiled slightly, a smile that could stop time. "It seems far more interesting to choose this one rather than wait for a child yet to be born in hundreds of years."
She examined the soul more closely, as though reading an ancient book filled with secrets. "How fascinating. This little one has read many novels and comics about cultivation worlds. It will make adapting after reincarnation much easier," she remarked, her tone shifting to one of enthusiasm.
Gently, she spoke to the soul, even though it could not respond. "Very well, little one. I will grant you a gift before sending you on your way. I will also place you near the home of a girl with a Sacred Spirit Medicine Body, before that lecherous old man finds her," she said with a tone of strategic planning, chuckling softly like a master schemer.
With a gentle smile, the woman leaned closer to the weak soul before her. She kissed the soul, and instantly, energy began to flow into it. The fragile soul began to glow, slowly growing stronger.
"Hehe... I can't wait to see you grow into something powerful," she said, raising her hand. A golden light appeared in her palm, radiating with pure energy. "This is the gift I promised you," she continued before merging the light with the soul before her.
Time passed. Day by day, year by year, the woman continued to watch over the soul. Every small change did not escape her attention. For a full century, she waited patiently, observing the process of the gift she had bestowed merging with the soul.
Finally, after such a long time, the soul transformed. Before her now stood a five-year-old boy. The boy had a handsome and adorable face, skin as smooth as jade, jet-black hair that gleamed, and bright blue eyes as deep as the ocean.
It was hard to imagine that this child would not captivate everyone who saw him as he grew older. The boy bowed respectfully to the golden light before him. "Thank you for giving me the opportunity to reincarnate," he said in a polite yet confident voice.
The woman smiled. "Enjoy your new life. It's time for me to send you on your way," she said gently.
However, the boy suddenly looked at her with hopeful eyes. "Could you give me a name? And... may I hug you before I leave?"
The woman paused for a moment. She felt a strong urge to hug the little boy and keep him for herself. But she restrained herself, simply smiling and saying, "From now on, your name will be Shen Xiang. How does that sound?"
"Thank you for giving me this name. I love it," Shen Xiang said as he walked closer. When he reached the light, he immediately hugged it.
The woman was taken aback, but she allowed Shen Xiang to hug her. She gently stroked the boy's head, feeling a peace she had not experienced in thousands of years.
"Thank you. Will we meet again?" Shen Xiang asked softly as he released his embrace.
"Perhaps," the woman replied with a smile. "If you become strong enough, maybe you can find me again in the future."
With a wave of her hand, Shen Xiang vanished from her sight, leaving the woman alone in the space that now felt emptier.
However, the woman no longer felt lonely. "Hehe... It's time for me to leave this place. I will follow that boy wherever he goes," she said excitedly before transforming into a being as graceful as a fairy.
With a mysterious smile, she disappeared along with her palace, leaving only Chaos Energy in the region, ready to embark on a new chapter in her life.
