3 SOUL

Sayuri was shocked , that she is not going to be reincarnated, despite her karma points. She was sure, she was here in this place for a reason, otherwise , someone like Overlord will not waste their time with her. So she turned to Overlord

"Hmm , Overlord Sir, what do you need from my tiny self ? surely you are not stopping me from reincarnating right? " - Sayuri

"I am postponing your reincarnation, as it is not the auspicious time yet for my disciple's rebirth. So I will be training you in the mean time here " - overlord

"Disciple ? when did I become your disciple Sir? " - Sayuri

" The moment you stepped into this dimension , is the moment you became became my disciple . All that is left, is for you to formally acknowledge me as your teacher " - Overlord

Sayuri has no words to say, she was surprised , that someone like Overlord wants to take her a disciple. She was sure, if he just issues a notice ,there will be countless powerful beings who will want to become his students.Why did he choose her , mere mortal? What is this about auspicious time he is talking about?

"Sir , but why me and what is this about auspicious time ? " - Sayuri

Overlord just gave her a look and again went into his lecture mode

" You see , for the past millennium chaos cycles , I was looking to take in a disciple. Being at the top of food chain alone for a long time is boring , add to it I also had to protect this chaos world from other Overlord's. So I want to train a disciple , who can share my burdens and also look after this Chaos World, in case something happens to me , in my absence. To be my disciple, one must not only have strength, comprehension,talent and skill, but they need Luck . Luck plays significant role in enlightenment and breakthroughs. Sometimes even the tiny bit of luck can also change your fortunes in life and death situations. As for you child , at the moment you don't have strength , but have very good comprehension, talent and Zero luck. Strength I can train you in , but for luck , you need a auspicious time to reborn . With your karma points and auspicious time, you will have better luck than most of the sovereigns." - Overlord

Sayuri was floored to learn that her luck is zero , no wonder she died young . Even more , there are more Chaos Worlds out there. But after comprehending the overlord's meaning about auspicious time, she was sure, he can just pick any other soul and give them luck . It still doesn't explain why she was chosen . After contemplating for a while , she again turned to Overlord , expecting more answers .

" The second second reason why I choose you despite your luck is the quality of your soul. As explained previously , your soul quality is pure and calm , which is good enough for you to reincarnate in a Higher State World. Higher state world is only for god level or above. Despite being a mortal , the starting point of your soul is already way above than anyone I can find. Strange as it may be , because you were born on Earth without any cultivating experience, your soul didn't attune with nature's any elements. Normally the cultivators I have seen , have attunement to 2 or 3 elements . Even paragons and sovereigns have attunement to at most 4 to 5 elements. Once a soul is attuned to particular elements, it can't be changed . But to be a overlord , one must have attunement to all the 7 elements of nature. So basically , your soul is a blank state , and with proper training we can attune it to all elements ." - Overlord

" so basically even with my poor luck , I have already fulfilled all of your conditions for me to be your disciple " - Sayuri

" Nope, there is a third reason. You have heart to protect others over your well being. Which is the last and main reason I choose you. I know , I choose you to be my disciple without your consent and the path to be become overlord is anything but rosy , but if you accept to be my disciple, I will pass you all of my knowledge ." - Overlord

" can you tell me about other overlords, before I make a decision? " - Sayuri

"Well there are 108 chaos worlds out there, while each chaos world is governed by a overlord. So basically 108 overlords in total. Some overlords fight each other for resources, some for challenge , some for domination. When overlords fight, some worlds are easily erased out of picture . By the way of all the overlords , I am the strongest for the moment . I can fight multiple overlords at a time , but when the number of my opponents reaches 20 I am not sure of my survival. Going by the signs I have been gathering for a while , my enemies are trying to form coalitions. Which is the reason I want to train you , so that you can fight beside me or take over my duties when something goes wrong with me " - Overlord

Sayuri was shocked to learn that an overlord fight can destroy worlds , which also worried her safety for Sister Mira , in case fights break over in this chaos world. She was determined to become strong and protect this chaos world from any outside intruders at all costs. So her final answer is to become strong and where can she find a better teacher than an overlord.

" Sir , I accept to become your disciple and vow to defend this chaos world to my last breath " - Sayuri

Overlord can see her determination and happy she choose to be his disciple , not for his status but to protect her family .

" Child , I am glad you choose to be my disciple , so I will give you a bit of information about Sister Mira . You see, the training to become a overlord will take dozens of chaos cycles. Time which she doesn't have. She may be a mortal , but like everybody a soul is immortal , it just keeps changing vessels. She also accumulated enough karma alongside you , so I will try to extend her life by reincarnating her in cultivation world and extend her life by passing her advanced cultivation techniques. With this you can be free of worries and purely concentrate on becoming stronger . " - Overlord

Sayuri was glad , the overlord took Sister Mira mortality into account , which she overlooked . So with renewed determination and subconsciously she kowtowed 3 times to the overlord as teacher , which is the standard procedure among cultivators between teacher and student, When Sayuri finished her kowtows and the overlord accepted it, strange phenomenon occured throughout the chaos world , signifying the changes that are about to come.
