35 Legacy Inheritance Pt 2 (1/2)
”So you knew it was me all along?”
”No, only after I entered the Elemental Ranks when I discovered how closely my new core resembled the flame realm.”
”Yes, that was quite a breakthrough. I had not expected you to understand your core so deeply and so soon.”
”Yes, I was a bit lucky I guess.”
”Or, you understood it from your previous life. At least half of it I'd say.”
”So, you know my secrets.”
”Your secrets? Or our secrets?”
”... Are you saying I am Gilead, you?”
”Mmh, more accurately, yes and no, or you were me in another life.”
”Okay, if I was you…”
”Where do we come from? Why are we so vigilant? Why were you able to reincarnate? Why are you back in the past? Why are you feeling a strange connection to your wives? Your destiny and that of Gilead? How many times have you reincarnated?”
”Wait, did you say how many times… I've died multiple times?”
”Yes, you have died and been reborn 5 times before. Each moon marks a new cycle and a failed attempt.”
”Attempt at what?”
”Being reborn into a Sun Beast or as you've called it, a Dragon Phoenix!”
”...”
”Before I answer any further questions there is something you must start.”
”The Inheritance?”
”Yes.”
”A question before we begin. In my previous life there was already 5 moons so why isn't there a 6th now?”
”Your actions in that life has affected your reincarnation cycle. Truthfully you didn't reincarnate, at least not by re-entering the natural cycle of life and death, this time. By manipulating fate you have achieved the goal, but you've also shortened the time we have. You essentially time travelled to the moment of your birth and reinserted yourself back into your body. Why that life cycle? I cannot fully say. Maybe it was the longing for your wives or it could have been predetermined to be that way.
Maybe your three wives know the reason from their previous reincarnations. I am only part of your soul from the first you that was used to make this world and the keeper of your inheritance.
As for the inheritance, you have 3 types and depending on your stage of development and capacity one will be given. The first is knowledge; where you are from, what you are, the basic understanding of the elements and your purpose or an option to your future.
You have already achieved the understanding of what you, the Sun or Sun Beast. To your enemies, a Sun G.o.d or Star G.o.d. Because you have come to this realisation on your own let us not waste time on it. Where are your origins? We are from the Heavenly Sun Galaxy, a star system neighboured by the Celestial Ring star system and the Milky Way star system, as the locals refer to it. Due to the invasion of the Zodiac and his 12 Horo Beast from the Celestial system we were forced to retreat to the Milky Way. This is a battle of resources and about conflicting ideologies. They will return to this system to devour its resources once they have finished with our homeworlds.
As for the Elements, while you have the understanding of some and an idea of what each represents. You also need to truly experience these elements naturally for yourself. So I will grant you a percentage of the last 4 elements you have yet to touch.”
As soon as the trial guardian said this a finger appeared before Hittan's forehead and a spark flew from the tip and landing between his brows before sinking into his forehead.
”As for your purpose, this is your world and your adopted star system. I would hope you still wish to protect it.
The second part of the inheritance deals in strength but more it unlocks the ancestral connection and releases the hidden strengths. This was first devised on the likelihood of your reincarnation being from another lineage outside of the Dragon Phoenix and your body's bearing capacity.
A body's bearing capacity is what a legacy uses to determine how much they can give an inheritor. Which is normally divided into 3 types:
Basic Strength Legacies:
Strength Legacies - the last remaining energy from a dying G.o.d Spark core. Helps to break the barrier of Mortal Ascension. Plus a 25% boost in Fighting Force Factor (FFF).
Vice-Prime Legacies:
Strength Legacies, to push the limits of Mortal Ascension and a 25% boost in FFF
Mythic Origin Force of the Ancestral Lineage. Fixed at 30% power boost.
Prime Legacies:
Strength Legacy, a 50% boost in FFF, Mythic Origin Force (MOF) of the Ancestral Lineage. Starts at 30% and upgradeable to 50% power boost. Mythic Origin Body (MOB) of the Ancestral Lineage - 50% capped until Manifestation Rank.”
”Let me get this straight. The only thing you can offer me is knowledge and most of that knowledge I already knew. Hidden strength, where the only thing of merit to me is a 50% boost in my Fighting Force Factor?”
”Haha. You should be thankful for the struggles of your former lives. Otherwise, you would not have such a strong foundation now. But that is not the last of the inheritance, in the centre of the fire realm is the Sword and Amour of the King. They are the driving force for this world and what is used to stabilise this Flame Realm. The Starfire Sword and Star Heart Armour will boost your attack and defence by 100% and are upgradeable. Each comes with a special skill unique to the attack and defence cla.s.s.”
Feeling a little better about the inheritance, Hittan accepted the hidden strength boost to his Fighting Force Factor. Which required him to meditate for a day before going to investigate his new sword and armour.
