The Inheritance Of The Supreme Immortals

In the Territory of Half Spirits, within the heavenly Butterflies, situated on the Black Tortoise Continent, a young woman rested in a garden that seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see.

This garden had been separated into countless areas, each boasting different kinds of plants, most of which were herbs and special spiritual plants.

Just by standing there and inhaling the air, one could feel refreshed, as the vitality-filled atmosphere seemed to rejuvenate one's spirit.

If alchemists were to see this place, they would identify some of the rarest herbs growing abundantly in the garden. However, no one other than spirits could ever hope to enter this sanctuary.

The young woman was seated in the center of the garden, upon a huge root of a tree that stretched far into the blue sky.

She gently touched the root, as if trying to feel something, and her smile revealed that she received a response from the tree.

She was not alone; hundreds of dryads hid in the trees, fairies tended to the herbs happily, and dozens of sirens played in the nearby river.

The atmosphere, the breathtaking scenery, the aroma of herbs, the giggling of the fairies, and the songs of sirens made the place appear peaceful, explaining why spirits were so adamant about keeping outsiders away.

Sumire, the young woman with rosy short hair, watched as a palm-sized Ulysses butterfly approached her. She stretched out her finger, allowing the butterfly to land gently as she observed its wings.

As Sumire enjoyed the moment, a breeze brushed against her face, bringing a smile to her lips. She raised her head to see a man with green hair and starry brown eyes, dressed in green clothes that complemented his appearance.

"You know, your sister sensed your arrival way before me," Sumire said, smiling as she approached the man, standing before him with a slight gap between them.

Sam reached out, gently caressing her fair face. "I can never get used to how strikingly beautiful you are."

"Ah, husband, we spirits are peaceful. How can you ever associate me with being striking? Even if it's a compliment," Sumire teased.

"I know spirits are peaceful, but are you?" Sam smiled, then turned to the other spirits. The dryads stopped their tasks, the sirens ceased their songs, and the fairies paused in their work, all bowing in respect to the king of spirits and his wife, Lady Sumire.

"Relax, no need to be so tense," Sam said gently, his voice carrying the weight of authority. The spirits ceased their bowing, instead circling around the king and his wife.

Sam then approached a humongous banyan-shaped tree. Placing his palm on its trunk, he spoke softly, "It's been a while, my beloved sister."

In response to his soothing voice, an intense ray of golden energy shot out from the tree, ascending to the top and instantly turning the clear blue sky into a golden heaven.

Everyone, not just in the Black Tortoise Continent, but every single being in the cultivation world bore witness to this unbelievable phenomenon.

When the golden light faded away, the humongous banyan tree had disappeared, and in its place stood a woman surrounded by a golden aura that radiated an otherworldly presence.

The woman had forest-green hair and golden-colored eyes. Her face looked exactly like Sam's; she was like a female version of him.

The woman looked at Sam with warmth. She instantly appeared before him, wrapping her arms around his neck, planting a kiss on his cheeks, and then hugging him, totally ignoring the spirits in the surroundings.

"I missed you too much... Why didn't you contact us as soon as you awakened your memories?"

"My connection with the universal source hasn't restored yet."

"Let me help you with that." The woman placed her palm where his heart was located and channeled her unique universal energy directly into his inner world, circulating it in a weird manner that sent warm feelings through his body.

<Your connection with the universal source has reached 45%.>

<Your connection with the universal source has reached 55%.>

<Your connection with the universal source has reached 69%.>

<Your connection with the universal source has reached 82%.>

<Your connection with the universal source has reached 96%.>

<Your connection with the universal source has reached 100%.>

As soon as his connection with the universal source was restored, Sam felt like he had become a literal god—no, much more than a simple god.

He have become a being who was undefeated, unkillable, insatiable, infinitely powerful being in the universe, beyond understanding, reborn in his full glory.

The huge banyan tree in his inner world glowed with a strange aura as it finally regained its past glory and its connection with the other world trees.

It became a complete world tree, his inner world tree, forming a connection between him and the other world trees in the universe.

When Sam opened his eyes, they had turned golden, just like his sister, the elder world tree of this cultivation world.

Sam closed his eyes and sent his consciousness into his inner world. He saw his inner world tree had turned pure gold; even its leaves seemed like they were made out of solid gold.

"Your inner world tree is similar to ours, but unlike us, who become the power source of a world, your world tree becomes the source of power for you," the woman from earlier said, looking at his inner world tree.

Since she had a connection to other world trees, and Sam, even though he was not a world tree, was, in a sense, born the same way they were born, she could enter his inner world using her connection to him.

Even he didn't know the full extent of his abilities, as an entity like him had never existed in any of the universes. This Universal Tree had already broken the rules of reality by birthing a son. Even she didn't know what it meant to have a son of the universe.

The woman, Sam's older sister, the world tree of cultivation, her name was Elysia, looked at his inner world tree with an interested expression. She was actually pondering a particular theory about his existence, but she was a little doubtful about it, so she hadn't mentioned it to her little brother.

"Big sister Elysia..." Sam called out softly.

"Hmm?"

"I'm sorry I abandoned you and the others like that."

"What are you sorry for? Didn't we make that decision together? You only did what you had to do for the future of our universe and its survival," Elysia said with a smile as she placed her hand on his shoulder.

"More importantly, have you gained that ability?"

"Yes," Sam nodded with an assured smile.

"Good," Elysia sighed in relief, thinking that her brother's reincarnation didn't go to waste. He had actually succeeded in gaining that innate ability, the Devour.

"Before our sister gets here, why don't we start with the first phase of your universal plan?" Elysia suggested.

"Yes," Sam narrowed his eyes with a strange smile, like a mad scientist.

"Come to me, Shisu," echoing his command, the Codex of the Supreme Immortal, or the name Sam had initially given it, the Cosmic Manuscript, appeared in front of him in a streak of light.

<I'm here, master>

Sam looked at Elysia. "Big sister Elysia, follow my lead and let me access the spiritual plane of the cultivation world. I will take care of the rest"

Nodding her head, Elysia intertwined her fingers with his, then accessed her connection to the cultivation world as its power source, the World Tree.

Sam felt himself connecting with every living thing in the world of cultivation, the world he was currently in.

He could even feel their emotions, but right now, he was focused on something else.

"Shisu."

Understanding his command, the Codex opened its pages, and pages turned automatically, revealing a page with a weird magic circle drawn on it, which began to glow brightly as if responding to the energy Sam was providing it.

<The first chapter of the Circle of Creation has been activated successfully>

"Souls, come to me." Answering to the King of Souls' call, souls began to flow from his body, one by one. Tens of millions of souls filled his inner world, making the place look as creepy as literal hell.

These were the souls he borrowed from the god of embalming, Anubis, the underworld god of the Egyptian pantheon.

Then, he waved his hands. In response to his actions, the spiritless souls were sucked into the Circle of Creation.

"Begin creation." Sam pointed his palm at the circle of creation, his body began to glow with a golden aura.

A very tiny portion of the universal energy began to mix with the circle of creation.

<Beginning the creation of a new soul>

The souls absorbed into the Circle of Creation began to turn into pure soul energy without consciousness.

A tiny fraction of his universal energy began to mix with the soul energy before new souls began to manifest into life.

<Creation is complete>

<Creation is successful>

<Linking the soul with the World Tree and the cultivation world>

<Gaining complete control over the infant soul>

<The son of the universe, my master, has been registered as the master of the System Soul>

<Modifying its structure for the master's taste>

Elysia sighed in relief, seeing the humongous ball of soul energy pulsing with life.

She could feel it was a soul, a huge soul, that had formed a connection with her world and herself, the World Tree.

<Congratulations, master. You are successful>

"Shisu, make yourself the secondary administrator of the System Soul."

<Yes, master>

<Shisu, the administrator of the Cosmic Manuscript, has been registered as the secondary administrator of the System Soul.>

<Waking the System Soul>

Then a blue screen, unlike the screen shown to Sam's eyes by the Codex, appeared floating in the air.

[System initializing has begun...]
