Millennium Tension

Chapter 161: Chosen by the Universe Core

*Crash!*

Four energy pegs of Neutron Core Energy concentrated into the four seal engravings of the ancient stone chest. Like shattered glass followed by a broken seal, the stone chest cracked and began to spread throughout.

However, it did not crumble and fall into pieces. At the opening of the chest, it was as if there was a bluish light burning but it soon went out again. After shaking once, the ancient stone chest returned to its normal inanimate object.

Ana and Axel looked towards Aizen, and the five fairies did the same afterward. Aizen nodded once and then he manipulated gravity to open the stone chest.

*kreek...*

The top of the stone chest slid slowly until it fully opened, the contents of the ancient sacred stone chest finally opened up to the world.

It was not lots of treasure or the remains of the dead they had predicted, but a collection of ashes and a bluish-white bracelet.

Aizen immediately activated his detection ability to see any form of energy, he had to search the owner of the faint voice for more information.

Right next to the unique bracelet partially buried in the ashes, there was a bluish wisp of spirit remnant, a crushed soul. He could not be saved.

Aizen stretched out his hand and made the wisp float into his palm. Then, he scanned the wisp which was probably a remnant of someone who once lived.

'Are you there? Now you have come out of this sacred stone chest. Say something.' Aizen sent telepathic messages with an earlier frequency.

'I am free? Where am I buried and abandoned?' The wisp slightly flared up, then the wisp seemed to be looking to the right and left to see the surroundings.

After observing where he was, the wisp observed a man in front of him and seven girls behind the man who was talking to him.

'I thank you very much for freeing me from the seal of the Eoceamund Chest of the Dead. As promised, you can own the bracelet, the Arch of Eternity. A world in a great dimension, everything I have and leave behind is in that world.' The voice from the wisp became a rather deep male voice, no longer a faint dubious voice.

'Sure, I'll take it. Can you tell me who you are and why you got sealed here? Aizen nodded once then took the unique and beautiful bracelet by manipulating gravity. He casually gave the bracelet to Ana who was beside him.

'It is time for me to return with the hope of reincarnation... Goodbye, dear human. May your life be blessed with incomparable blessings forever.' The wisp did not answer Aizen's question, he floated slowly upward as he rambled on.

Instantly Aizen's body glowed slightly with a bluish-white aura, and it was immediately extinguished. It was not negative energy that was harmful and there was only positive energy full of kindness. They just let it be because it was only a blessing from the wisp.

It only took an instant, the wisp slammed into the absolute barrier that had been modified to live up to its name. The wisp returned to Aizen's hands.

'I was rejected by the afterlife? Is this my destiny? After all, I've done, that much good karma I've accumulated for the better I end up being someone who can only be crushed in nothingness?' The wisp rambled as if he was hopeless.

'Cut your sad drama, you only need to satisfy our curiosity before you can return to the afterlife for the hope of reincarnation. Understandable? So, please cooperate.' Aizen smiled lightly.

'Is that so? So, it was you. Alright, I've been waiting in the void for a very long time. There is nothing wrong with me contributing to my saviors.' The wisp seemed to be sighing with relief, it was just a false alarm and the feeling of hopelessness was gradually dissolving.

'Can you tell me who you are and why you were sealed in this stone chest?'

'My name may have been forgotten by the entire realm, or maybe no one mourned my fall. However, I was known as Lin Tian, the lord of divinity. The ruler who once lived in Sacred Reach, a high-class realm in the Upper Realm.' The wisp answered casually full of subtlety. Aizen just awaited the sequel.

'The chaos of creatures beyond the boundaries of the universe has begun to rampant and invade the entire triple order of the universe. Many have sacrificed themselves and fallen without name and honor into the void.'

Lin Tian told the background story of the incident in a brief summary as if he was lamenting, it was a tragedy but he couldn't feel any sadness or emotion anymore because of the seal.

'I was sealed in the Eoceamund Chest of the Dead because I was the leader in charge of fighting the defenses of broken boundaries. It was a complete defeat, one-eighth of the upper realm had already collapsed in their invasion and it all started with me being sealed in this chest that could only be destroyed from the outside.'

After finishing there, Lin Tian stopped and no longer spoke, he thought that was enough.

'Hmm... So, you are one of the rulers of the Upper Realm who are leading a great battle against invasions from beyond the outer boundaries. Your deeds are truly noble, your fall will surely leave sorrow to those you left behind, no matter how much time has passed. However, I have a few questions, can you answer them?' Aizen nodded gently in a smile of kindness.

The wisp in his hand was the remnant of a great and extraordinary, Lin Tian was a person who had struggled and fallen gloriously despite the devastation created after his fall.

'That's not necessary, I'll just pass it straight to the memory in your brain which is so unique. The fact that you can talk and free me from the Eoceamund Chest of the Dead sealed in the Eoceamund Cube ten levels is great and impossible for mortals. You and your women will achieve great things...'

After uttering that refusal and solution, a fragment of light flew from the wisp which drifted lightly over Aizen's head. That was the information he could provide to his curious savior.

Aizen immediately processed the information Lin Tian simply gave him. Chaos Creature, one-eighth of the Upper Realm that collapsed in the invasion and it was sealed from all the rest of the realm by all rulers, down to the fact of the universe they lived in.

However, Aizen didn't immediately digest all the incoming information, he put all of it in a special place in the database, a place that only he, Ana, and Axel could access.

What caught Aizen's attention the most were regarding Sacred Reach as the origin of Lin Tian and the family he left behind, then it was the function of the Arch of Eternity, the bluish-white bracelet Ana was holding.

The bracelet that had a whole high-class world in it, with tons of treasures from the Upper Realm. The item and its contents were given by someone who once lived at the Divine Celestial Realm, [Rank 18].

'You are so generous, you just give the Arch of Eternity to a stranger. But, are you intentionally sending information regarding Sacred Reach to me? That's your personal information, right? What do you want us to do about it?' Aizen needed to ask to be sure.

'I know you are the one chosen by the Universe Core like me. You and the two girls beside you. I have failed to complete my mission, I will be able to leave in peace by giving my legacy to a destined person.' The wisp was silent for a moment and Aizen eagerly waited.

'Please convey my apologies to my family who I left for a path of strength for a greater purpose. Also please convey my apologies to all the girls and women who come into contact with me. I hurt all of them a lot... It's inside the Arch of Eternity, please pass all the scrolls to the recipient when you get to the Upper Realm.'

'You're so sure we'll get there... None of us have yet reached divine, you know.' Aizen shook his head subtly.

'I'm sure you can get there, Universe Core has guided you here, to meet the chosen who have fallen.'

'Very well, I will pass on all the scrolls of the message you have written to them.' Aizen sighed and agreed.

No wonder Lin Tian said maybe no one mourned his fall. He felt guilty and thought he didn't deserve to be mourned or grieved by anyone.

'Thank you, please allow me to the afterlife. Now I just hope to reincarnate to live in peace and forget everything.' The wisp drifted slowly from Aizen's hand.

Aizen sent a signal to Ana and Axel to help him remove the absolute barrier. The two girls immediately carried out the orders that came, the absolute barrier immediately disappeared.

The wisp who was finally freed from the shackles and destiny gifted by Universe Core could finally return to the afterlife, with the hope of being reincarnated after all the virtues and good karma he had accumulated during his lifetime.

After the absolute barrier no longer held him back, Lin Tian immediately dissolved and disappeared. He had been accepted by the afterlife who welcomed the spirit remnant of the crumbled soul.
