Chapter 5 CHAPTER 4 : Greedless's Sacrifice

The next day, Joey woke up early in the morning. His body felt better and refreshed. He sat upon his bed while stretching his body.

" This feeling is great! " He exclaimed out loud.

He thought, " My body is stronger than before. It must be due to that vessel strengthening. This world belongs to those with strength. I shall become stronger. For now, I shall focus more on how to cultivate. "

Then he sat back cross-legged on his bed. He closed his eyes and focused his attention on his forehead (soul sea lay in the forehead for every cultivator).

He could see the words " The divine corruption manual " obediently beside the golden purple ball of soul. He then made his soul sent soul force toward the words.

When the soul force touched the words, the words disintegrated, and Joey saw an incredulous scene. The disintegrating words completely disappeared and in the next moment, the space got ruptured. Inside the ruptured space, he heard a loud bang, and saw the early formation of galaxies, stars, etc. . Then a book made of silk appeared, and the space became stable again.

THE BEGINNING OF CORRUPTION was labeled on the cover of the book. Joey used soul force to open the book.

On the first page of the book, only two words " GREEDLESS FATE " could be seen. Joey read out the two words loudly using his soul force.

010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010....

010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010...

010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010....

010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010...

( here I would use binary numbers as transferring inherent memory to their successor )

At that moment a large amount of information like the above numerical overflowed from the book toward his golden purple soul ball. The soul ball absorbed all the information like putting a drop of water in the ocean.

Joey could see flashes of colors like seeing television in his previous life. The scene saw pictures of various colors but was beautiful for one's eyes to move away from these scenes. Within this amazing scenery, a human-like creature could be seen.

The human-like creature was currently snoring. The snoring sound caused all the surrounding a rhythmic wave of an earthquake and later, the sound became traceless only the impact remain. ( no sound could be heard as the sound become transcendental )

The entity was never a human but called himself ' GREEDLESS '.

Greedless's drool formed an infinite number of oceans as big as a galaxy. He didn't even know its origin. One thing was clear to himself ( Greedless has the male human features), he was an intelligent being and had extreme disgust on the notion of greed so he made his name 'GREEDLESS' himself.

After infinite eons, Greedless became so bored that he accidentally inhaled a large amount of energy and exhaled out like a kid who liked to play his new interesting game. The exhaled energy caused a large bang in the singularity point thus forming the formation of various galaxies, stars, planets, etc. in the wide singularity point now we called space.

He became excited. Then, he bit his own fingers with his own teeth, and golden blood sprayed all over the new space he created. This action was pretty normal to him judging by his character.

He became more excited seeing his own creation and completely disregarded his weakening physical form. At last, he tripped but still continued observing the creation. He could see that there was vitality all over the universes but something was still missing, which was that the creation remained soulless.

Greedless tapped his forehead with his pointing finger, an iridescent soul flew out and suddenly exploded into many infinite particles which were then sprinkled toward every region of his creation. Then he could see giving birth to all types of new lifeforms. He was still weakening and came to realize that he was going to die soon.

He observed his creation for several eons. Unfortunately, he could see that all the living things he created have a flaw. They started fighting, killing each other to fill up their stomach (survival of fittest) and hence saw the greed for the first time and he jolted.

He thought, " What have I done? I have created something which I disgust the most ( which is greed). I will do something ."

Greedless meditated for another eon and converted all his vitality to create a mantra. Thus his life expired. At the last moment, he shouted his mantra toward his creation.

ISWAR-NA MEE SHAM-MIE

MEE-NA LAI MA-TOU TAM-JIE

LAI-NA MEE-BU KA-LAK-CHIE

KA-LAK-PA HAI-BA NANG KA-THOK-PA-NI

(meaning: The God might create the human, but eventually humans became so intelligent that God started to have their greed for humans' intelligence. Also, humans already had greed for the power of God. So at last I came to realize that greed was nothing but another face of sacrifice. I had sacrificed everything to equalize my greed for this creation. Unfortunately, I was totally not at all Greedless as I thought. I created this greed from my sacrifice. )

Then the scene vanished and Joey's vision got back to the page which only remained the mantra shouted by Greedless on his last breath. He felt so shocked for a while.

Joey tried to read out the first word in the mantra " ISH..." Then, he lost his consciousness and collapsed on the bed.

Meanwhile, a large castle lay at the northern border of the great Tang nation (fortification on the northern border ). The castle was surrounded by thousands of houses filled with common armies. While all of them were surrounded by walls with thirteen entry/exit gates.

Within a luxurious room in the castle, a lady wearing a royal outfit ( hanfu dress ) was walking back and forth thinking something deeply. She was the one and only princess of the Tang nation. ( also one and the only one who shared the same mother with Joey's predecessor ). She was stunningly beautiful, six feet tall, and had similar facial features to Joey's predecessor.

She was currently the acting general of the northern front army. She was also the eldest child of the current emperor.

" My poor little brother. What shall I do now? Tchs, those wolves in human clothing are crossing the line this time. I should do something. " She murmured with a frown.

Her female advisor was following behind her anxiously.
