Fate

Shen Tian had truly died.

His vision faded to black, his heart came to a halt, and he stopped breathing.

Shen Tian's soul seemed to be in an abyss of darkness "I can't believe this... I had died just like that? Have my parents sacrifice been without worth? Am I being fed to the Primordial Void now?"

Tears dropped down from Shen Tian's Soul as memories of his final moments with his parents played. His father and mother dropped to their knees for the first time Shen Tian had seen and their prideful appearance which they had kept in front of him was shattered as tears dropped from both of their faces.

His father simply mouthed "I love you." before placing a golden talisman on Shen Tian's forehead and he turned into particles transferring him outside of the clan. The final scene he saw was a seal emerging for the sky that had the word 'Death' on it crushing his parents into a bloody pulp.

They couldn't resist as they used all of their Qi to power the teleportation talisman so they had sacrificed themselves for Shen Tian.

Reliving these memories, Shen Tian's soul started to shine as he shouted "I will not give up so easily! I will live! My fate is greater this world! Greater than all of creation!"

As he shouted this, he saw his soul was glowing brighter than before but he still couldn't move nor was he revived. Just as another wave of depression was about to hit a voice shook him to his core "What do you guys think, should we pick him?"

In front of his eyes, 4 figures appeared before him. But what had shocked him was the fact that they were simply shiny floating body parts and somehow they had voices. There was a Golden Skeleton, a Crystal Mind, an Azure Eye, and a Violet Eye.

The Crystal Mind's silver aura fluctuated signaling that it was the one speaking "Look at his boundless fate, the Laws of this Domain are too small to contain him. No normal human would be able to interact with the Primordial Grand Gate and their souls would be instantly fed to the Primordial Nothingness. We have been stuck here for so many years I have lost count and none of our descendants has made contact with the Grand Gate. Who knows how much longer we will have to wait for another seedling like this one."

Then the Golden Skeleton's golden aura started to fluctuate "He seems to be a boy with a strong will. He will most likely become a Monarch in the future, maybe he can help get rid of the Darkness which is about to break the barrier into our universe."

The Violet Eye seemed to nod in agreement "Also the other dimensions are getting unruly and someone is allowing them to enter our universe, I can feel the Dimensional Portals. Although we have been unwilling to work together. this child possesses boundless fate and I can also see that he has the Spirit God Scripture and the Myriad Flame God Scripture, this means he is from a Domain that fought in the Ancient Wars which is the only way they would have access to these Foreign God Arts."

The Azure Eye then spoke "I agree, we can completely reform his body so he can recultivate. It seems he has a ton of killing intent which is making me excited. We can watch from the Yellow River of the Universe and since our spirits would be connected to him when he reaches the rank of a Monarch he will be able to revive us if our souls aren't scattered."

Shen Tian didn't get a say in anything as he saw the 4 figures agree before turning themselves to face Shen Tian. They turned into rays of light as in the real world they shattered the giant stone door and flew into Shen Tian's body.

Inside the door, a strange black hole opened causing the door to collapse in on itself and so the door disappeared from the domain as if it had never existed in the first place. But with the door broken Shen Tian's soul had been flung into his body but he wasn't alone.

The Golden Skeleton shattered Shen Tian's normal skeleton and took its place. The Crystal Mind merged with Shen Tian's original mind. The Violet Eye crushed and took the place of his left eye while the Azure Eye crushed and took the place of his right eye.

The transformation shocked Shen Tian's body but he was lucky that his soul was still taking its time to reintegrate with the body or else he would simply die from the pain of this transformation.

This transformation took over a week to complete and an hour after the transformation was complete, Shen Tian's eyes flew open as he gasped for air as if he had been holding his breath underwater for too long.

The body had no oxygen nor no sustenance so normally it would decay, but the energy from the 4 body parts was so powerful that it not only kept his body in perfect condition but it also gave the body the perfect muscles that were slim for agility but still possessed the strength of fully loaded muscles.

Shen Tian was shocked at first but before he could get up a voice entered his mind "It is me, the Crystal Mind. If the merging was successful our souls should have finally been freed to the underworld. I am leaving these memories in your mind to tell you the functions of each transformation you have received, but you won't receive any more help from us. Hone the powers we have given you and cultivate the Spirit God Scripture and the Myriad Flame God Art. I am guessing the other 4 Foreign God Arts are in your world so I suggest you find those to practice as well. All I ask in exchange is for you to revive the four of us and help our universe from any threats in the future as our universe has been severely weakened since the Ancient War. Also as a personal favor please revive me first when you do."

Shen Tian felt the remaining spirit that had been put in his mind by the Crystal Mind and hearing the last part made him chuckle slightly. But the chuckle came to an abrupt stop as suddenly a flow of memories entered his mind, similar to when he received the memories from the Spirit Inheritance Stone, and it detailed exactly what each of the body part's were and he was shocked as each of them would give the owner talents that were uncontested in the Heaven Wasteland Domain.

The names of the 4 body parts were the Immortal Skeleton, the Eternal Mind, the Reincarnation Eye, and the Samsara Eye.

Although his cultivation was scattered during the transformation, his fleshy body itself was much stronger than his cultivation previously.
