Although Klaus managed to figure out her na, Ara’s mind didn’t co to that, for she was still in shock at finding out that Klaus was a Paragon.
If there was anything she had ever known in the many years she had lived, then it was the fact that her previous master was infatuated with paragons.
It was even one of the reasons why, when he wasn’t yet at that stage, he nad himself the Star Primordial.
Naturally, he was aware of the paragon’s attachnt to the stars, and that was even one of the reasons why he also went against the heavens with his followers.
"You are a paragon," Ara, the egg, said with a more cheerful tone.
"I am indeed a paragon, so I suppose this is the part where you tell what I must do to be recognised by this place. I presu there are treasures waiting for to claim." The greedy look that everyone in Klaus’s place would feel appeared in his eyes as he looked at the egg.
"I am sorry. I was just too happy to have finally t a paragon. However, to gain ownership of this place, you must do three things.
The first is being able to co here, which you have completed, considering you are now standing before .
The second step is to retrieve a drop of your essence blood and place it on the egg. This is for to judge your worthiness. You also don’t have to worry about that since you are a paragon.
The last is for you to gain the master’s approval. Though the fact that you are here ans you have already gained his approval, so the only thing left now is for you to drop your essence blood on the egg."
Klaus nodded, but he didn’t imdiately drop his blood. He first asked a question, "Who are you?"
It was a sound question, considering that before going into a contract with anyone, he must at least be able to gain so understanding of who the person is.
"I don’t know how I ca into being, but I know I am the soul spirit of the Inheritance left by the Star Primordial. I have knowledge of everything inside this place.
Aside from that, I am sothing akin to a sentient AI that can regulate the energy flow in the one I am bonded with. I can sense a large part of my power has been sealed, but I believe if you choose to beco your assistant, I will be of great help to you."
Klaus smiled, "I figured you would say sothing like this. But before getting down to business, I have sothing to ask. Do you have an idea of how many levels of inheritance there are here?"
The egg glowed golden as if saying yes. "The lady who was here before you ca divided this place into nine sections/levels. We are inside the first level, where you will remain until you reach the Domain stage.
Only after you reach the Domain stage can you open the second level, which, from what I know, will unlock my powers too."
"I see. That does make so sense."
Klaus thought for a mont, and then he closed his eyes and entered his soul sea to et with his soul bodies. Well, only Efad was around since the rest were busy with their work.
"What do you think?" Klaus asked Efad.
"She sounds legit, and since this place was handed to you by that woman, I believe there is so truth to what she said. However, I am concerned about one thing."
"What thing?"
"She said she is an advanced sentient being. You already have a sentient being inside your soul that, for so reason, I don’t like. Neither of us likes that existence, so who is to say this Ara is any different?"
"You must be talking about the system I received when I awakened. To tell you the truth, I don’t like it either, but there is no way to remove it. However, if this Ara is the sa as this system, then I am dood."
"You are not entirely dood. That senior of yours can, to so extent, help you, though it will cost him greatly if that were to happen."
Hearing Efad’s words, Klaus hesitated but chose to speak with the senior instead. However, before he could make a pip, the senior spoke first.
[Form the bond with this Ara. Although I am not sure, aside from the system from the heavens, there may be another one that’s half-awakened or more like half-complete, hidden deep within your soul.
If this new sentient intelligent being can rge with that existence, I am sure during your next tribulation, we can remove it.]
"Are you sure?" Klaus didn’t like the uncertainty lingering behind the senior’s voice. However, after reassuring him, Klaus chose to move forward.
He wasn’t afraid of dying due to this fusion, for he knew he couldn’t die that easily. He was more afraid of what would happen when the heavens realised what he was doing.
"I suppose risk and reward go hand in hand." With that resolve, Klaus chose to go ahead with the rge.
"I am ready to begin if you are," Klaus said before taking a drop of his essence blood.
"I am also ready." Klaus nodded, letting the blood fly and land on the egg. The mont it did, Klaus felt his consciousness leave his body and rge with the egg.
Then he blacked out.
Four hours later, Klaus opened his eyes and saw he was still inside the room. However, looking around, he saw that the egg was gone.
He didn’t panic. Instead, he sent his mind back to his soul sea.
When he appeared inside his soul sea, he saw all nine soul bodies of his standing around two eggs. One had a golden color, which Klaus recognised as the egg called Ara.
The other egg was deep black and had no aura around it. However, just looking at it was enough to tell Klaus it wasn’t sothing simple.
"What happened?" Klaus asked.
"When you fused with the egg, that system tried to crush your soul, hence the blacking out. However, due to that montary movent by that system, sothing hidden within your soul used the mont to devour the system, and now, the two are rging to form sothing even we or that senior have no idea about."
"Interesting," Klaus said, walking forward to examine the two eggs more closely.
He didn’t see anything he understood, but he could tell that whatever unholy rging these two eggs were doing would give birth to sothing powerful.
"Oh, that egg said I should give this to you. She said you are now the Young Master of the Star Primordial Cave and that you should tap this item against the wall, and everything you need to know will be sent into your mind."
Klaus received a golden token from Efad and went back to the real world. He walked to the wall and pressed it against it.
His mind buzzed, and in that instant, millions of pieces of information flowed in.
In an instant, Klaus beca aware of everything there was to know about the first level of the cave...
"This is just too much..." A beaming smile appeared on his face. A few minutes later, Klaus left the cave and gathered all the warriors on Earth to co inside and cultivate.
He wouldn’t be coming out for a few days when he entered the place ant for him, so he might as well get other businesses handled first.
