Chapter 4 - 4. A New Journey

Gavin wakes up from his slumber and finds himself in the void. It looks similar to the environment inside the black hole. He thought he was still inside the black hole, but he heard voices of people speaking with each other.

Not finding the source of sound in the void and discovering the end of the void. He thought,' The place inside a black hole is said to be infinitive.' It is not infinitive but the space-time chaos makes it seem like the place has no beginning or end. 

But here, he finds he is trapped inside a circle, which makes him understand he is not inside the black hole. He then tries to recall what happened after he enters the black hole. He remembers after he entered the black hole, he found himself inside a space storm, his spaceship was destroyed in a minute.

To protect his body, he had to use the 'psychic shield' technique but in a couple of hours, he did not find a way to escape the space storm and the psychic shield broke. The space storm started to destroy his body and at that very moment, the altar inside his mind shone brightly and he lost his consciousness.

Remembering, he felt a Deja Vu, like this had happened to him before. He knew before he was born in the human Federation, that he had a past life on a planet named Earth, where his name was Ryan. He only remembers his and the planet's name and has forgotten about everything.

He even does not know that only Earth was his past life. So, did I die inside the black hole, and the altar brought his soul to another world to be born again? He thought. To verify this he sat and started to mediate to enter his spiritual space.

Entering the spiritual space, he finds the altar is different from when he was in the human Federation. The altar had cracked all around its body but now the cracks are shining with golden light. He tries to use his spirit to find any changes on the altar and he receives the name of the altar and what had happened to him.

The altar is called the Divine altar and is a temporal treasure born in the river of time after a 'fourth dimension life' fell on the river of time. The altar was born by absorbing the body of the 'fourth dimension life'. The altar was damaged by the time thunder fell on him when he was ready to pass the catastrophe to advance to a higher realm.

It was not activated in the Human Federation universe because it requires faith energy to activate. He can return to the Human Federation universe after 10% of his crack is healed.

Gavin mutters coming out from spiritual space," How did it activate in this new world." He still heard the voices, he spread his spirit outside the void space and did not stop till his spirit was unable to spread. 

He finds he is living in a small village inside a valley. The Villagers are similar to humans but with a third eye on their forehead and snake scales on their backs. Everyone's third eye pupils are black except two with silver and green color pupils.

He also finds this is an extraordinary world as he finds the energy around the world and the female with the green pupil extracts energy for a gem with wood energy and feeds some trees. He wants to know what his situation is but he does not understand their language.

He wants to invade the mind of a villager to learn about the world and their language but he is not able to. His spirit invasion was blocked by a golden rune that appeared when he tried to invade the mind of a villager's mind.

But he notices that he can connect with the spirit of the old man with a silver pupil but without the knowledge of his situation, he does not want anyone to be aware of his situation.

He searches for anything in the village that can help him understand their language, and he finds books in the five homes. The books are made of paper which made him confuse as he thought the village civilization was the end of the Stone Age. Because most of the thing in the village is made from stone with only eight metal objects.

But from the quality of the book, it looks like it is a medieval civilization. In the books, he found a picture book that introduces beasts and herbs. The picture book is not much help to understand their language.

His nine-rank psychic is lost after he is reborn in this world but its essence remains, making his mind as fast as a quantum computer calculating 100 trillions of logic operations per second. 

Among the nine-rank psychics, he is familiar with only he has the terrifying calculation speed. It was possible because of the mediation method ' Quantum Calculation'. The practice method was developed up to 6th rank psychic because the creator as soon he advanced to 7th rank psychic lost all his humanity.

The creator became a Human-computer so everyone who practiced the exercise decided something was wrong with the mediation method created by the mediation method's creator. And decided to create their exercise to advance to the 7th rank psychic but the same thing happened to them.

Gavin would not have chosen the mediation method if he had known beforehand but this happened, he was already a 5th-rank psychic, and after 4th rank changing the mediation method is nearly impossible without any treasure. He was a civilian psychic and only a 5th-rank psychic he could not get his hand on this treasure that washes the mediation method from the sea of consciousness.

So with insecurity, he advanced to the 6th realm and created his 7th-rank mediation method and then he advanced to the 7th rank. After he advanced, he was also losing his humanity but the altar appeared suddenly, and stabilized his newly open spiritual world and stopped him from losing his humanity.

With the altar in his spiritual world, his confidence increased with the already created 7th-rank mediation method by others, and he quickly advanced to the eight-rank psychic. He broke the record in the human federation of someone advancing to an eight-rank psychic under 500 years old.

 In the next 500 years, he created the advanced nine-rank mediation of 'quantum calculation' and advanced to nine-rank psychic. The' Quantum Calculation' mediation method, he created from 7th to 9th is only he can practice with the help of the altar, others if practiced they will lose their humanity. 

So, he revised the mediation method for others to practice, and after 10 people using the mediation method advanced to 7th rank without any danger. He decided to leave the human race and after 10 years he left, and then he was ambushed. To save his life he enters the Boba blackhole and now he is reborn in a new world with the help of the altar.

So, He decided to calculate to understand their language but it came with a side-effect for him now. His essence remains of a nine-rank psychic, so he can use the calculation speed but he has the energy of a psychic apprentice not even a first-rank psychic.

 So, as soon as he used the calculation for a second he lost consciousness.

He did not have the energy to sustain the calculation speed. His essence remains of a nine-rank psychic but he has the energy of a psychic apprentice not even a first-rank psychic.

Time passes and around the statue, a feast is being held as the hunting party returns with the body of the dire bear. They are not feasting upon the dire bear because its meat is valuable and energy-rich for everyone to consume. 

The meat of the dire-bear will be perfect at the time of peak winter season. So, the tribe decided to consume the meat of the boar bought by the hunting party. The feast is being held for the dead of their dreaded enemy but also for the bumper harvest of the hunting party. 

The hunting party hunted a boar, the dire bear, and three woodland deer. With the harvest, they will able to safely pass this winter. The feast is joyous because Al and Ajis told the hunting party not to mention the transgression of the snake tribe. It will turn a joyous occasion into a nervous occasion.

Gavin becomes conscious and finds a feast is going on around him. Understanding the language he knows he is inside a statue. And this is not a village but a tribe and they worshipped him as their totem. At the time, he finds five people slowly separating themselves from the feast and walking together toward the lake and by the lake, they start talking.

Gavin's spiritual power follows them because listening to the tribe's communication with each other. He knows that they are the decision maker of the tribe with the old man who he can connect with his spiritual power and communicate with. 

He listens to their communication and understands the tribe's situation which is in a perilous situation and also for him. Another tribe, named the snake tribe wanted this tribe named the statue tribe but everybody called them the hidden tribe. As no other tribes know their location. 

The Snake tribe does not want this tribe to join them to increase their tribe's population but according to Al who heard a rumor from the Silver Sword Market that the Snake tribe's totem Ice Poison Snake is on the verge of advancing to the Bronze Spirit Beast realm.

After their totem advances, they will be the strongest tribe in the area of Moon Forest. To advance to the Bronze Spirit beast realm, the Ice poison snake requires adequate resources. The body of a totem spirit beast is suitable for the Ice poison snake to consume.

He is sealed inside a totem, he did not think they could break them because Gavin found the being who sealed the body in which he is reborn was an Immortal. He guesses from the power and principle behind the seal. But they can leak his information and then his situation will be dangerous because he is unable to fight back being inside a seal.

So, for him to pass the situation safely, he will have to increase the statue tribe's strength so that they can intimidate the snake tribe from attacking and seal the mouth of the statue tribe so they cannot talk about him.

He found a quick way to intimidate the snake tribe from attacking to help the elder Jion and Ajis advance to their next realm. Elder Jion from the Shaman realm to the Great Shaman realm and Ajis from the blood awakening realm to the Spirit blood realm.

He found the names of the realm on the books at the elder's house but with no knowledge of how to advance. He decides to help the elder to advance first from his spirit investigating them, he finds the elder on the verge of advancing to the great shaman, what he lacks is the method from his understanding of the situation and Ajis is still in late blood awakening realm.

So, he has to communicate with the elder, to see if he knows the method how to advance to the Great Shaman realm. The elder may know how to advance to the great shaman realm. He would have taught the elder psychic mediation method but he found the energy of this world is different from the cosmic energy of his last world. 

Gavin waits for the party to end and when the elder goes inside his house and gets ready to sleep. He connects his consciousness with the elder and Gavin finds he has to communicate quickly as the elder consciousness cannot handle the pressure from his consciousness.

Gavin speaks first," I am your Totem."
