Chapter 16: Alvitir's Worries

[Ragnarök coliseum]

In the Arena where the fight that would determine the life of all humanity took place, the gods and humans battled are spectators.

The humans were all in stasis, awaiting the eighth battle. After Qin Shi Huang's victory, they were one step ahead of the gods.

However, Alvitir, the tenth of the 13 Valkyrie sisters, couldn't say the same.

Qin Shi Huang had disappeared in the middle of the treatment, and even she, who had her common destiny with him, couldn't know where he was at the moment.

The only thing that calms her is knowing that he is alive. After all, she is still alive.

Alvitir tried to stand up from her medical pod to search for him, but she collapsed before her body could move further.

However, she suddenly felt something. It was as if Ying Zheng's soul had grown mighty, and she briefly sensed a connection between them. However, he seemed too far away to make sense of it.

In reality, the responsibility for this was Ying Zheng's Soul Forming. This process works with the ultimate pureness of the Soul Force. It is not a simple thing.

Their souls have a connection, and she felt the link stronger because the stronger Qin Shi Huang's soul is, the easier to perceive. Qin Shi doesn't sense this communication because he doesn't try, and he carries the Alvitir's fate nor the contrary. It is easier for her to feel the connection with her fate than for him.

While she didn't understand the situation, she could only be happy that he was really alive. Her eyes had tears, but she never could say this to him.

Then she hears the voice of someone who picks her up off the floor and returns her to her medical pod.

"Only stay here and rest... In the future, he may need your help."

The person seemed to talk as if it was no big deal. She tried to see who was talking, but all she could make out was that the person was male with hair like a crown and was full of bandages.

Before she lost consciousness, she thought of someone.

'Buddha...?

______________________

A force out of the six worlds took Qin Shi Huang from the ward. Buddha's first reaction was to find the source, but no answers.

Then he remembered the 'common destiny' between the humans and valkyries.

He taught the concept of 'common destiny' to the Valkyries. It appears there is no problem with the connection between the two.

He realized that there was no end to the connection after trying to determine its direction.

Unlike the average person, he is not afraid of the unknown. To someone like Buddha, this represents a world full of possibilities.

[Pure Enlightenment Eighth Consciousness]

Using his right eye, Buddha uses his secret technique to glimpse her soul's future. If the valkyrie destiny is in Qin Shi Huang's hands, he can see a probable fate for Ying Zheng using Alvitir as a medium.

While it is a powerful ability, it is highly imprecise in practice. It only shows some futures of millions possible.

But any information is significant at the moment.

Then several futures appear to him. However, all of them only made him even more intrigued.

In one future, he sees a man with blond hair and red eyes in front of Qin Shi Huang. They seem at the start of a battle, and the guy only arrogantly speaks the word mongrel.

In another, Qin Shi Huang is against an opponent of almost 100 meters. He seems more confident and mighty than before.

The possibilities were diverse, and so were the worlds.

But this did not make Buddha afraid. In fact, it made him want to find these worlds for himself.

"On heaven and earth, I alone am honored." And his voice resounded across the room.

[Glory City]

[Ying Family manor]

In the Ying Family, Ying Zheng was busy. After the incident, he was thinking about the consequences of the incident.

The battle against the Dark Guild and Sacred Family caused so many casualties. And this was only right now. He knows that the Dark Guild can attack again.

In reality, Ying Zheng thought perhaps the Dark Guild would attack faster or wait until their leader had regained his strength before attacking. The second possibility is better for him because he has more time to train. However, his mentality as an emperor prevents him from waiting for this luck to strike.

Then, he started the train of his Shadow guards. He needs people that help him with information and carry out some missions. Because of this, Ying Zheng will train them.

His first activity was to test their Soul Form and Soul Realm. He knows the importance of this process, defining the cultivation way of a person.

Of the 16 young that Zhao picked to become his Shadow Guards, only four people have the Orange soul realm, and the others were the red soul realm. Ying Zheng expected this because if they were really 'talented' in the eyes of the people, they were in the Holy Orchid Institute and not in the streets.

The attributes were curious, and Ying Zheng liked some of them. He thought it would be interesting to take advantage of the situation and give everyone a new name.

A girl with dark hair and eyes, of age, seems around 15 years old. She received the name Yingyin. Her attribute is shadow, and her form is a phantom.

A boy with blue hair and an earnest face received the name Jing Shui because his attribute was water and his form was a fish.

Ying Zheng called the others carrying the same process. In the end, he named all of them.

A sense of identity is essential for anyone. The name has power, meaning, and sometimes memories.

Maybe to weigh the aspirations for something remarkable past. But, indeed has value if the person himself makes the name great.

His next step will be to choose a compatible cultivation technique for them from the library and improve it if necessary. It is an opportunity for Ying Zheng to practice what he has learned about cultivation techniques over the past few months and to improve his skill. When Zhao is better, he is making this for him too, but at the moment is only for his guards.

Apart from seeking to strengthen his guards, he will also try to find treasures that can help him quickly.

The first is a divine sword sealed at the Holy Orchid Institute inside the Heavenly Sacred Border, God's Meteorite Sword. The weapon is vicious and bloodthirsty, with a tremendous murderous aura.

Ying Zheng really wanted to subdue this sword. As far as his ability to dominate the weapon is concerned, he has no doubts.

The second is Nightmare Demon Pot, found in the future at the Dark Ruins near Glory city. It is possible to improve demon spirits' potential with this artifact.

In Ying Zheng's mind, this was the most important treasure to creating a little group of elite soldiers. Therefore, he determined that this was a vital treasure for him to have.

The third is the Blood Crystal, a strange metal. By using it, you can increase cultivation and boost soul force significantly. But as in the Abyss Prison Realm, he cut off the option.

The last and easiest is to search for the treasures in the underground palace of Emperor Kong Ming in the Ancient Orchid City Ruins. He can go alone but does not have an artifact that can transform the situation rapidly.

With these options, he already knew how to proceed. After all, he needed strength to prepare for a probable battle against a Legendary Rank spiritualist.

Maybe, was easier only to help the City Lord to become strong and stay under his protection, but does not fit his style.

Qin Shi Huang's style is to be invincible. An impenetrable wall that goes against his enemies front at front.

However, although he tried to prepare, the Dark Guild would not be allowing him time to prepare. His potential was enough to make even the leaders startled. But mainly interested in his body.

The leaders use the Spiritual Constellation Technique, which allows an expert to be reborn in a new body. Because the body is different, the cultivator's soul will also feel great pain, and the new body will deteriorate quickly.

Because of this, a new and talented body for the leaders is always appealing to get.
