Chapter 17: Will

However, before that, what I needed to do was to create a vessel where the memories of the souls that were going to reincarnate could be stored.

The place where I planned to put that vessel was in the dark star, but I didn't know how.

Maybe I could create a creature that was similar to artificial intelligence, which had large computation power and vast information coverage.

and store all the previous life memories of the reincarnated souls. There was only one problem: creatures couldn't survive in the dark star.

If the planes were harsh for living and non-living creatures to live in, then the dark star was countless times harsher.

The dark star was formed due to the nebula, and the nebula was formed due to the battle of the 8 main elements.

Which meant the dark star was a compressed battling element that was still ongoing at this moment.

Although the dark star looked like a fiery ball of dark flames just like other stars, they had a difference; they produced darkness instead of light.

Those dark flames made the dark star look like the fire and dark elements were the ones who were currently dominating it.

Well, not really, because that was the only thing it showed outside.

But on the inside, all the main elements were equal; there was no victor of their countless battles.

Although they were elements, they were just residue of them, so they can't be compared to the entire 8 main elements in the entire domain.

In other words, the residues were just a part of the main elements that were separated from them due to their battles and collisions.

Their battles and collisions also created sub-elements.

That caused the situation in the Dark Star to become more chaotic due to their joining the battle.

However, they weren't as strong as the main elements, but they could still affect the battle to a certain degree.

Speaking of sub elements, they fall into the category of indirect creation due to me not creating them personally.

They also didn't come from outside the domain. However, the eight main elements came from outside, which made it fall into the external category.

But now that the main elements have been integrated into my domain, I'm not sure which category they were in.

Does it fall into the category of indirect? This was confusing, but in the end it fell into external since it was neither created by the domain nor me.

At that moment, a flash of inspiration came to mind. Instead of creating a creature, why not give the dark star a will instead?

just like the information about the will of the world and the will of the galaxy that was injected into me.

With that feasible plan, I don't need to wreck my brains out just to solve how a creature can live in a dark star.

It might take a long time to awaken the will of the dark star, but with the time acceleration, that wasn't much of a problem.

Besides, what I needed now was only storage for the previous life memories of the reincarnated souls, which the dark star fulfilled.

Storing them in the vessel as a creature was also a feasible plan, but it will take a long time to solve the problem.

If it can be solved by time acceleration, I will do that instead, but to solve it I need to do experiments full of trial and error.

which takes a lot of time and wasn't certain if it would work just as planned. While the plan for the dark star was much better,

It can save time, it is guaranteed to work, and it may bring a surprise once it was awakened.

Transferring the previous life memories of the creatures to someone or something was an easy task.

All I needed to do was manipulate the memories that were being extracted by the plane of reincarnation and then transfer them to my target.

I did it step by step and selected the dark star as the place where the memories would be stored.

The memories that were extracted by the plane of reincarnation and supposed to disappear into nothingness began to flow towards the dark star.

Although there were no changes, I could perceive that something was growing in it, just like a seed that was slowly taking root and showing its bud.

With that, it can be seen that my plan succeeded. The dark star can store memories.

I tried to manipulate the stored memories, then discovered that I could control them at will.

Maybe when the will of the dark star is awakened, I can't control that at will anymore.

However, I can control everything within my domain except creatures. But thanks to my soul, now I can control them without any problem.

Dark Star wasn't a creature, it was a celestial body, which means I can completely control it.

I can control the will, which means that my control of the memories hasn't diminished in the slightest.

...

At this moment, in the plane of life, the chaotic creatures were dying one by one, but also being reincarnated one by one.

The cycle of life, death, and reincarnation was fascinating to watch. It can make me understand how insignificant the life was.

The universe was vast. Dying was a normal occurrence. In the passage of time, death can make one mourn, sad, and eventually forgotten.

The life, death, and reincarnation of the chaotic creatures made me wonder why they keep going outside when they can live inside.

Why do they continue to live when they will eventually die? Why do they continue to struggle when you can simply live a life free of struggles?

Those questions were hard to answer. Maybe due to their curiosity, they kept exploring even with their life as a cost.

Maybe they keep living due to the instinct to live ingrained in their blood. Maybe they keep struggling for a better life.

Those questions, only they and ourselves can answer them. Ask yourself why, and you'll understand the meaning of your life.
