Chapter 1176 Integration

“Chaos?” Lin Fan couldn’t help repeating after hearing this.

The golden version of him gave a nod before saying, “Chaos was a being that came from the void that suddenly invaded this world. My master was recovering from creating one of the many universes in our world when Chaos attacked. In his weakened state, my master wasn’t able to fight back and was defeated by Chaos.”

His voice trailed off as he said this and a trace of sadness filled his voice.

But then he said, “In his final moments, my master made sure to scatter his souls throughout the universes he created. As long as the fragments of his soul existed, he would one day reincarnate, which was where we are now.”

He looked at me and said, “I knew that you were the reincarnation of my master since the system bound itself to you. The system is made from my soul, so it has a karmic tie with my master and will seek out my master’s reincarnation.”

Lin Fan looked at the golden version of himself with a doubtful look when he heard this, but then he said with a sigh, “So what am I supposed to do now?”

At this point, the story that the system had told him was just so out there that he had no choice but to accept it at this point.

It didn’t seem like something that the system would make up, not to mention that the system…was most likely still stronger than him.

So it didn’t matter if he believed it or not.

The golden version of him nodded before knitting his brows and revealing a conflicted look.

He opened and closed his mouth a few times before falling silent again, as if he was struggling to say something.

It was almost as if there was something that he couldn’t say.

So Lin Fan couldn’t take it anymore and said, “What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with me?”

He thought that because the golden version of himself kept looking at him with a strange look.

It was almost as if he had noticed something off about his body.

The golden version of him shook his head slowly before saying, “It isn’t that something is wrong per say…”

The way that he said this just made Lin Fan knit his brows even more as he said, “Just tell me what’s wrong. You can check my body if you think that something is wrong.”

“There’s no need, the system is integrated into your body. Checking the body of the host is a very simple matter for the system.” The system said while shaking his head.

All this did was make Lin Fan reveal a bitter look.

He knew that the system was right, but when he put it so bluntly…

The system then took a deep breath and said, “It isn’t that something is wrong, but something isn’t working.”

“Huh?” Lin Fan said in a confused voice.

The system then continued by saying, “It seems that you are able to draw on the powers contained within the bones left behind by my master, but you aren’t able to awaken the fragments of the master’s soul left in the bones and awaken your true power. If you can’t awaken those soul fragments, your soul won’t ever become complete and you’ll never win against Chaos.”

Lin Fan deeply knitted his brows again after hearing this.

He slowly asked, “Will I change after those soul fragments awaken? Will it change me forever to awaken these soul fragments?”

The system immediately shook his head and said, “These are fragments of the master’s soul, which means that they are part of your soul in the first place. Just like how the original Lin Fan of this world and you are all part of the master’s soul, it won’t change a thing since you were all part of the whole in the first place.”

After a pause, he added, “In fact, you will even feel more whole after absorbing the rest of these soul fragments.”

Lin Fan looked at him with a skeptical look since when it came to absorbing soul fragments like this, it usually meant that the personality of the person absorbing all of these soul fragments would change.

It would mean that they would become a different person because of the personalities hidden in these soul fragments. 𝑂𝚟𝗅xt.𝑐𝒪𝕞

But the system was telling him that this wasn’t the case.

So should he trust the system and allow it to do this?

After thinking for a long time, Lin Fan decided to allow the system to do what it wanted to do.

After all this time, the system hadn’t ever really done anything to harm him…

Everything that the system had done had been to help him grow stronger and reach his current stage.

So he decided to trust the system in the end.

Lin Fan gave a nod and said, “Alright, do it then.”

The golden version of him couldn’t help revealing a grateful look before saying, “Just leave it to me.”

Angela and the others couldn’t help feeling worried when they saw the golden glow appear around Lin Fan, but they weren’t able to do a thing. They felt the pressure that came from Lin Fan, a pressure that they had never felt before.

If one had to describe a ruler of the heavens…this was the aura of that.

This was far beyond any of the God Realm Experts that they had met when they were in the World of Gods.

But they couldn’t understand why Lin Fan was giving off this aura.

There was only silence that filled the room as this golden glow remained around Lin Fan for a long time.

But eventually it did fade away and Lin Fan opened his eyes again.

As he opened his eyes, there was this golden glow that appeared in them.

He slowly said, “I remember now, I remember everything.”

The system had been right when it said that he wouldn’t change…that was because all that the soul fragments contained were memories of his past life.

The personality that he had was the same as his past life, so it wasn’t as if it would change him at all.

But the memories…were definitely very useful.

These memories helped the golden bones fully integrate into his body, allowing him to control their powers fully.

No, it wasn’t controlling their powers as they were his to begin with. He was just regaining his powers now that he had gathered his soul again.

Still, the memories were the most important things.

After another long silence before Lin Fan turned to the golden version of him and said, “Xiao Guang, is that you?”

When the system heard this, there was a golden tear that appeared in his eyes as he said, “Master, do you remember everything?”

Lin Fan gave a slow nod before saying in a sad voice, “It really has been a long time…”

“Master…” The system said in the same sad voice.

But Lin Fan took a deep breath before saying, “There’s no use dwelling on the past now, let’s look to the future.”

He turned to Angela and the others and said with a smile, “There’s no need to worry, I’m still me. I just remembered the memories of my past life.”

“Past life?” All three of them said in confused voices.

Lin Fan gave a nod before saying with the same smile, “My past life.”

This was just too much for them to accept, so they could only just accept it like Lin Fan did before.

Lin Fan didn’t mind this and just let them slowly process before turning to the system and asking, “Xiao Guang, what happened to my world? Why did it fall into this state?”

The system gave a sigh before saying, “Master, you’ve already seen with your own eyes what Chaos has done to this beautiful world. I tried to stop it, but I was too weak and could only hide in this universe, the one that we came from…”

Lin Fan patted him on the shoulder before saying, “Xiao Guang, don’t beat yourself up too much over this. You couldn’t do anything, Chaos was even too strong for me.”

Xiao Guang gave a sigh before taking a deep breath to say, “Master, I don’t deserve these kind words.”

Lin Fan just patted him on the shoulder again, while waiting for him to speak.

Xiao Guang took another deep breath before saying, “Master, Chaos has distorted the natural way of the world to weaken these universes. Chaos has distorted the dao, only allowing one person to reach the peak of each law.”

As they heard this, Angela and the others couldn’t help waking up.

Especially Angela…

After all, wasn’t this the problem that they were facing?

The fact that only one God Realm Expert could exist for each law, which forced Angela and her mother to decide which one of them would take that position.

Angela quickly asked, “Then if Chaos is defeated?”

Xiao Guang looked at Angela with narrowed eyes at first, but then he said, “Yes, if Chaos is defeated, the natural order of the dao will be restored. The laws won’t be restrained anymore and will flow freely in this world. There will be free cultivation and everyone will be able to reach the God Realm freely.”

Angela’s eyes lit up when she heard this, but then her expression fell again.

This was a monster that had been able to restrain an entire universe’s cultivation path, was it that easy to defeat?

So she could only look at Lin Fan with a worried look.
