Wu Yuanxu currently stood quietly in one of the sub-dimensional rooms. He wasn't cultivating, resting, or excited. On his face, which seemed to have reverted thirty years in appearance, giving him the appearance of a mildly handsome middle-aged man, was simply shock splashed with intense surrealism.

He had died.

He knew this much.

Besides his most recent memory of the constant checks on the stability of his body by others, compatibility of his soul with it, and his mental state, he recalled his last memory. He was sending Yan Zaizen off. It was the boy he had much hope for, and he was supporting him in a venture to use the spatial platform.

After doing so, he felt a pinch in his chest and his body zooming backwards with an incredible momentum. When he got his bearings for the last few seconds he had of consciousness, he saw a blurry figure from afar and his chest with a vast hole where his heart and other organs should be.

So, he knew he had died.

He was shocked to know that, during birth, the Anima Syndicate had offered his parents an initiative to be a part of an experiment. In return, they paid them handsomely. The experiment was to create a second soul segregated from the main one. They would monitor his mental state from the Anima Syndicate Headquarters for research.

As a child born into the Anima Syndicate, he was shocked to discover this.

As for his parents, they've been dead for centuries and neglected to mention this. He knew...that splitting one's soul could lead to innumerable amount of issues to one's memory, psyche, and cultivation. He was told that his soul helped others understand that soul cultivation becomes difficult with a second soul.

However, this wasn't always the case. Those who could reach the Perfect Nascent Soul Realm despite the difficulties had zero issues afterwards. Which meant...his cultivation hindrance was due to their experiment.

He didn't know if he should feel mad. If it wasn't for them, perhaps he could've raised in cultivation, but if they didn't split his soul? He would be dead. He was beyond conflicted.

While he was still immersed in his feelings, Yan Zaizen arrived inside the sub-dimensional room. Instinctively, Wu Yuanxu looked at Yan Zaizen and said, ”Another test? I feel fine.” Yan Zaizen now was vastly different than the Yan Zaizen before.

His cultivation was pathetic, his aura was weak, his body was shorter, less handsome, and his eyes were vibrant amber in color filled with a basic intelligence - not amber-gold filled with confidence and greater intelligence. Witnessing this, Yan Zaizen chuckled. Wu Yuanxu had also changed, looking younger but obviously easily distinguishable.

Suddenly, he walked up to Wu Yuanxu and gave him a tight hug. He had a strange feeling that if he didn't grasp Wu Yuanxu's physical form, it wasn't real. For sixty-plus years, he waited for this day.

”What…?” Wu Yuanxu was startled. Having a strong looking handsome man hugging him in a tight embrace felt odd. However, he felt an intense feeling of warmth and relief from this young man. Yan Zaizen's dao could still affect people's emotions if his are too intense to control. Due to this, he didn't feel anything but good feelings towards this young man.

After a while, Yan Zaizen separated, his eyes giving Wu Yuanxu a once over. ”Haha, it seems they gave you a better body.” Wu Yuanxu's body truly was extraordinary. It seems they nourished it with good materials. If he had to estimate his vital energies, he was at least in the Qi Unification Realm. This may seem small, but it was a powerful body by many standards.

Confused, Wu Yuanxu couldn't help but ask, ”Who are you?”

”The kid you invited to the Anima Syndicate all those years ago. I don't think I ever personally gave you my name, so I'll introduce myself properly this time.” He said, coughing to clear his throat after. Taking a step back, he clasped his hand in a respectful greeting and a slight bow.

”Member of the Yan Clan, Grandson to the Yan Clan Leader, ninth disciple of Han Genji, Anima Syndicate Lieutenant and an eternally grateful friend: Yan Zaizen. It's nice seeing you again.” His words were filled with respect and warmth. To Wu Yuanxu, he didn't feel any sense of superiority of a strong cultivator to a weak one. He felt like a junior speaking to a kind senior.
