Endless Journey: Infinite Realms

Chapter 307 The Will, The Mind, the Heart, the Dao, and the Body.

As Alex thought of these questions in his mind, he looked at his copies in front of him, knowing that these 5 might know something about what is happening now.

[Alex]: "You 5... I won’t be wasting my time here anymore. Tell me what is happening here, and tell me why I can see you all now."

[Golden Alex]: "We all just met right now, and you already want to leave? Is that how you want to treat your peers?"

[Alex]: "Peers my ass. I would love to talk with you five, but today is an important day! I have to keep all of you inside my body, which means I cannot waste my time here!"

[White Alex]: "Your mind is in the right track, but in my opinion, you don’t need to leave us in order to do what you intend to do."

[Alex]: "What do you mean by that?"

[Blue Alex]: "What we mean is that our appearance here is related to your goal of taking 5 Major Powers inside your body. If you want to get them all safely, you have to talk with us first."

[Alex]: "!!!"

Needless to say, Alex was somewhat surprised with what he heard, but after analyzing it for a few seconds, he realized that these 5 were actually right.

[Alex]: "So if I want to take all of you as my powers, I have to do something here in order to succeed? Is that what you are saying?"

[Golden Alex]: "Exactly!"

[Alex]: "And what is it that I should do?"

[Golden Alex]: "Should you really ask about that first? Aren’t you curious on where you are right now?"

[Alex]: "Tsk, then please tell me my current location, and also please enlighten me on why my body is like this..."

[White Alex]: "Young man, this place right here is the dimension where your soul resides. As for the body that you are using right now, it is your very own soul."

[Alex]: "This place is the dimenison where my soul resides? My body right now is my soul? Are you telling me that I am conversing with you 5 using my very own soul without the assistance of my body?"

[Black Alex]: "The Abyss agrees with your inference. You are currently using only your soul to communicate with us."

[Alex]: "But why did it go that way? From what I can remember, I was just using my normal body earlier..."

[Golden Alex]: "That really should have been the case. But when you took in the Immortal Cultivation Power,and the Superhero Cultivation Power, your body was unable to take in the pain that came with it. Thus, you immediately lost consciousness."

[Alex]: "..."

Alex’s mouth immediately went dry after hearing that, as he realized that he actually experienced something this dangerous.

And Alex’s mouth just went drier as Golden Alex continued talking.

[Golden Alex]: "Because you became unconscious, all the energies inside your body went berserk, and right now, they are on their way to destroy your body and kill you. If you will not do anything to stop them, you will only have few minutes left to live."

[Alex]: "!!!"

At this point, Alex’s whole body shivered as the full meaning of [Golden Alex’s] statement sunk on him.

Right now, all the mixtures of energies inside his body was about to destroy him, and he actually just had a few minutes left to live because of that!

[Alex]: "...If what you are saying is true, then what are you doing here? Are you here to save me?"

[White Alex]: "Of course we are here to save you. If you die, we will also cease to exist. Even if you are still a budding Immortal Cultivator, I would still not want to perish along with you."

[Alex]: "..."

[Kid Alex]: "I don’t want to die yet! I still haven’t reached my full potential!"

[Alex]: "..."

[Golden Alex]: "Alex, we are just a part of you. Since you took us in, we had already been integrated with you. As such, your well-being will always be a concern for us."

[Black Alex]: "The Abyss would not want someone like you dead. The Abyss still have better plans for you."

[Blue Alex]: "I still haven’t reached the full extent of my power, so you are not allowed to be terminated before that happens..."

[Alex]: "..."

[White Alex]: "Since we do not want you to die, we forced ourselves to talk with your soul right now. Fortunately for us, we succeeded on the first try. Now, all that we needed to do is to make you survive."

[Alex]: "..."

Alex of course believed these 5, as he realized that their logic was right.

But that did not quell the panic that he is feeling right now.

[Alex]: Ok, I get it. All of you wanted me to stay alive. But what help can you 5 give me? I cannot control my body right now since I am unconscious, so what can you make me do?"

[Golden Alex]: "It is just simple. You should just guide us."

[Alex]: "I should... guide you 5? Shouldn’t you be able to do it by yourself?"

[White Alex]: "If you were at a much higher level, then yes, we can exert control on our own selves. But right now, you are still at the level that is not enough. The only thing that we can do right now was to talk to you live this. As for our own actions, we still need your help to do so."

[Alex]: "...So, if I want to survive, I should be the one guiding you 5?"

[Blue Alex]: "Yes, that is right."

[Alex]: "But how the hell can I do that while I am still unconscious? And where should I even guide you 5? For god’s sake, I have no idea on what to do here!"

[White Alex]: "Well, that is the second reason that we are here. Our first goal was to make you realize that we exist and that you need to survive."

[Alex]: "...And the second reason is?"

[White Alex]: As for the second reason, we are here to give you a message that we hope will be helping you on your bid to survive."

[Alex]: "!!!"

This answer of White Alex gave Alex hope, although before Alex could cheer about it, he suddenly realized that something wrong was happening to him again!

His awareness, which was crystal-clear earlier, was now slowly getting blurry, as if something was forcing him to be sleepy!

And the dark place that he was in right now was suddenly seething in rage, as if it wanted to expel Alex at this very moment!

These happenings forced Alex to calm down as he urged his copies to give him the help that he needed.

[Alex]: "You want to give me a message that will help me survive? In that case, give me the message already! I feel like my consciousness is blurring right now!"

[Golden Alex]: "Your consciousness is blurring? Good, that means that you are about to regain consciousness."

[Alex]: "So that is what is about to happen to me? F**k, so does that mean that I am about to go back to controlling my body and feeling that intense pain?"

[Black Alex]: "The Abyss confirms your statement."

[Alex]: "In that case, you 5 should give me the message right now!"

[Black Alex]: "Don’t be in a rush, Alex. The Abyss believes in your ability to live."

[Alex]: "Believe my ass! Just give me the message already!"

[Golden Alex]: "What a spoilsport. We only have a few chances to talk like this, and you want to end it this early?"

[White Alex]: "Your dedication to live is second to none. I hope that will be of great help to you in your path."

[Blue Alex]: "Your decision is right. You only have a few seconds left before your consciousness returns."

[Black Alex]: "The Abyss hopes you luck in your pursuit."

[Kid Alex]: "Ah, um, okay! We will give the message now!"

"Boom!"

Out of nowhere, the faces of the 5 Alex(s) became solemn, as their own respective powers began to emanate out of their bodies.

Golden Alex began to release a golden aura, while Black Alex released his vile power. Blue Alex began to release electrical sparks around him, while White Alex let out a pure, untainted aura. As for Kid Alex, he started waving his thermometer, as if hoping that it can do something extravagant for him.

[Alex]: "..."

Alex chose to not say anything in front of this solemn atmosphere, as he knew that he must not disturb this five.

After a few seconds of them releasing their powers, the 5 Alex(s) started talking, with Golden Alex taking the lead.

[Golden Alex]: THE WILL OF AN EMPEROR

[Blue Alex]: THE MIND OF AN ESPER

[Black Alex]: THE HEART OF A MONSTER

[White Alex]: THE DAO OF A CULTIVATOR

[Kid Alex]: A-A-AND THE BODY OF A HERO!

[Golden Alex]: FOLLOW THESE 5 LINES, AND YOUR PATH TO SALVATION SHALL OPEN.

[Blue Alex]: IF YOU DON’T HEED THEM, IT’S FINE

[Black Alex]; BUT IT WILL BE BETTER FOR YOU TO LISTEN

[White Alex]: FOR THIS IS OUR ADVICE

[Kid Alex]: AND I-I-IF YOU DON’T FOLLOW OUR ADVICE, YOU WILL DIE!

[Alex]: "The Will of an Emperor, the Mind of an Esper, the Heart of a Monster, the Dao of the Cultivator, and the Body of a Hero? This is the message that you want to give me? But... what does this mean?"

[White Alex]: "It will be up to you to figure that, Alex. After all, you have to use your own skills to survive. If you fail to figure it out, then that just means that you are not fit to survive."

[Golden Alex]: "Hehehe, so do your best to figure our message out! If you don’t, you will really die!"

[Black Alex]: "The Abyss wishes you luck."

[Blue Alex]: "Good luck, Alex."

[Kid Alex]: "P-please don’t die!"

[Alex]: "Wait, I stil-"

Whatever Alex wanted to say went unheard, as his vision turned dark again.
