Chapter 1: Ch 1: Death and Birth
Among an endless white expense of space. A blob of slivery-white light was floating and in front of that floating blob, stood a humanoid figure.
This figure was covered in golden light and his only defining feature was it's humanoid physical outline, as the rest of it's features were shrouded by a illusionary golden light.
Currently, the blob was asking a question from the golden figure, for the umpteenth time. "So in conclusion, your saying that ... I died in an accident and coincidentally you randomly chose my soul and brought it here, wherever this is?"
The golden being just nodded. The blob, now identified as a soul, continued, "And so that I don't start having a panic attack that any normal person would have, you erased most of my memories?"
A golden being grunted and spoke irritatedly, "Yes, and I have already told you about that 5 times. So get your soul shit together and don't interrupt me again or I might erase your soul"
The soul that was about to say something trembled, causing waves like patterns to flow through it.
Seeing that the soul was quite, the golden being nodded in satisfaction,'should have done that sooner.'. The being spoke," I am what people from your world nowadays call 'ROB' and the reason your here is simple..."
The soul waited with bated breath as the being finished, "... I am bored.", if there was a ground here and the soul had a figure, it would have face-falted instantly.
The being seemingly oblivious of the soul's reaction, continued, "so, I chose your soul out of those countless ones for entertainment."
The soul asked in a disbelieving voice, "entertainment!?". The being nodded, "yes entertainment! Now before you get started again with that annoying rant of your, which could be one the cause of your complete erasure from existence..."
The soul again shivered as it thought, 'damn!! What is with this ROB and his erasure threats!?'. Although the soul thought so, it didn't say anything out loud and waited for the being to continue.
Like come on, the being in front of it could simply do what it was saying with ease, erasing his very existence! There's no way the soul would try it's chances.
The soul listened as the being stated, "Now, I am giving you a chance to live a new life, in a reality of your choosing with 3 wishes, with certain limitations. The world can be any world you want, even the so-called fictional world, as they aren't so much of a fiction but their own realities."
The soul was shocked. 'I can chose any of the world's I want? ...wait'. the soul asked the being, "is that the reason I still have all my knowledge about novels and such, while my other memories were erased?"
The being nodded, "Correct. The only reason I erased your other memories is because mortals like you tend to panic and go into disbelief after dying and try to find solence in those memories, even if they know they can't do anything about it but let go."
The soul went quite, thinking about the words. A few seconds later, the soul released a sigh and spoke, "So I can choose any world. Have 3 wishes... Can you tell me what the limitations are?"
The being, which was carefully observing the soul, answered, "the limitations are; you can't ask for Omni powers. You can only get something if it matches the setting of your chosen world. You won't get instantly OP and you can't make unreasonable requests, like getting more wishes, writing your wishes on paper or anything like that."
The soul sweat dropped as the paper one had had crossed his mind for a second. "*Ahem* Well, if it's the world we're talking about. There's only one that I want to go to. THE MARTIAL PEAK!"
The being exclaimed, "oohhh!! A cultivation world. This would be interesting. But are you sure little one, there's no going back.", while stretching the last word a bit.
The soul answered positively with determination. The soul then started to think about his wishes, 'the most important thing in a cultivation world would be talent, If I get reincarnated and can't even cultivate, it'll be a waste.'
'Next would be .... Techniques! But something tells me that getting them wouldn't be easy. *Sigh* oh right, I should include the knowledge about different professions as well.'
'Next would be .... Resources and Background. But the only useful background in Martial Peak would be from a Cave Heaven in the Outer Universe. But that would effectively cut me out of the plot, thus ruining 90% of my reason of going there. Hmm, then I'll go for resources.'
The soul turned to the being again and started, "I'm done. My first wish is to have the best talent for cultivation."
The ROB nodded lazily, as if already expecting that wish. The soul continued, "my second wish is to have the strongest cultivation techniques and cultivation related knowledge, meaning the knowledge of all professions."
The ROB spoke in a disdainful voice, while the soul felt as if the ROB had narrowed his eyes but as he couldn't see the ROB's features, the soul wasn't sure.
"No can do. I already told you about not making unreasonable requests and this counts as one. But as you have made this wish already, you will now have to adjust it to make it within the limitations. As for the limitations, hmmm .... Go for 1 Moderate level technique and knowledge of 3 professions."
The soul was speechless and feeling helpless. He couldn't even argue about the limitations, but still wanted to try his luck, this was his future they were talking about after all.
"... How about this, I'll chose the 3 professions as you said. But can you be lax about the technique?", the soul tried to bargain.
The ROB seemed to think for a moment before it had an idea, "well, I can give you 2 options about the technique one, 1 is that you take the strongest technique and 2 is that you make your own."
The soul was immediately overjoyed when he heard the ROB. He could get the strongest technique now. '... But, wait. Why did he suddenly agree to give me the strongest technique??'
As the soul replayed their conversation about the technique, his eyes went wide as he looked at the ROB with weariness, 'this strongest technique is definitively a trap! All strong techniques have a certain requirement for cultivation. So if that strongest technique isn't compatible with me, it would be useless even if it's the strongest!!!'
The soul suddenly thought that he had to Trend on carefully as he wouldn't know when he might fall in a trap. The ROB looked on with amusement as if enjoying the various emotions the soul was showing, 'this is fun.'
After thinking about it for a moment, the soul asked, "can you tell me about Option 2?". The ROB nodded with the same amusement in it's voice, "Certainly. I will give you a chance at enlightenment that would raise your comprehension to near the reality's highest level and then you can create your own technique, within a timeframe. Simple as that."
The ROB continued, "Also, you can use this chance after your reincarnation. Don't worry about the time or anything, as whenever or whereever you decide use it, the reality will stop and you will be able to focus on the technique without worry."
The soul took a deep breath and finally chose the second Option. After thinking about his next wish and not coming up with anything definitive, the soul spoke while being careful of his wording, "For my 3rd Wish, I want to have the most efficient way to gain resources for My Effective Cultivation."
The ROB hummed, "hmmm, the most efficient way of gaining resources for your effective cultivation... Ah! That should work."
The ROB then stated, "Now that your 3 wishes are complete. It is time for you to go to your new life. Oh right, any preferences for your reincarnation?"
The soul cursed itself, how could it forget such an important thing, "Just make it so that I can take part in the plot and am around Yang Kai's age.". The soul then disappeared, leaving the ROB alone.
"Well, now... Where did I put my popcorns!", the ROB looked around to find his popcorn.

It was a stormy night, the sky was covered with dark clouds, thunder was crackling in the clouds and lightning flashed from time to time. Dense Rain was falling from the clouds and soaking the entire land.
In a small village, inside a wooden house, a lady was going through childbirth and her groans and shouts could be heard outside the hut. Nearly an hour later, the cry of a child was heard, indicating that the birth was successful.
Inside the hut, the new mother looked at her child and smiled tiredly, though that tired smile of her's was filled with boundless affection, "my beautiful baby boy, your name shell be Wang Feng, The King of the Summit." {Wang translated to King and Feng Translates to Summit}

Chu Tian Ji, also known as the Heaven's Revelations Great Emperor, who was currently sitting with Duan Hong Kong, also known as Bustling World Great Emperor, suddenly stiffened, with his Pupil less eyes widening.
Chu Tian Ji's face suddenly morphed into extreme surprise as he looked towards a certain direction and muttered, "The master of Chaos has descended. The wheels of fate are changing and the Heaven's Secrets have become shrouded. Changing times are approaching."
Duan Hong Chen looked at Chu Tian Ji with shock filled eyes and asked, "Old Tian, what did you see?". Chu Tian Ji's focus returned. He sighed lightly, looked towards his friend and spoke with a mysterious smile, "the Heaven's Secrets are not for me to unveil, my friend."

Outer Universe, Great Ruins Boundary
A towering tree, larger than thousands of meters was situated on top of a mountain. It bore many round fruits on itself, each fruit releasing a particular aura.
But the aura of those thousands of fruits was overshadowed by the extremely ancient aura emitting from the three itself. The next moment, a very shocking thing happened.
A face, consisting of two eyes and a mouth, suddenly emerged on the tree. It's eyes opened and It's mouth moved. A voice of an old man sounded from the tree, "What's this... Oh! Looks like someone with a great destiny has just been born."
The tree spoke while looking at a specific fruit on one of his branches, "Hmm... This!? This child seems to have a destiny similar to those Ten."
"*Haah* well, I just hope this little one can really fulfill his destiny.", the tree spoke and glanced at the fruit one last time before the face slowly merged back into the tree.
