The reason behind his reincarnation into this new world is a mirror. It can be said that he died because of the mirror.

He was already overworked in his past life, a few minutes before his death, and then the mirror entered his body. The shock caused his soul to separate from his body, and the mirror brought him into this new world.

And the mirror did not bring him into a new world to live his life again as a present, but it chose him because his soul alignment matched closely the mirror.

So, the mirror chose him and brought him into an extraordinary world, and Merin’s job is to repair the mirror. The mirror is damaged, and he has to repair it.

There are many ways to repair the mirror, and for him now to repair the mirror is ‘source energy’ or also called merit of heaven and earth.

According to the information in the mirror, it can be obtained by opening a world and comprehending the process when the ‘source energy’ forms in the core of the world, the second way is to destroy a world and take the source energy and the third way is to help in development of the world and the ‘world will’ will send down merit.

Among the three ways, he can only get source energy by the third way. He has no idea how to help improve the world, but according to the mirror, he should create a cultivation system or improve an existing cultivation system.

But he is a tree and does not know this world. And even he knows, he cannot get heaven and earth merit right away, as he does not know enough about cultivation and the extraordinary. According to the mirror, he is rank 6. A real extraordinary being is rank 6. But rank 6 is the starting rank of extraordinary.

Rank 1-5- Mortal Stage

Rank 6-10- Extraordinary Stage

Rank 11-15- Enlightenment Stage

Rank 16-20- Shaping Stage.

If he wants to create a cultivation system from scratch, he should be at least Rank 11. When they gain enlightenment about their future path. And the soul cultivation system, he thought, he created it is not a cultivation system. The transformation of his soul is done passively by the power of the moon and then the sun.

He did not create any method to absorb the power of the moon or the sun. So, he has to increase his knowledge of cultivation, but he is a tree; he cannot leave, and now even his soul cannot be separated from his body anymore.

Before he was able, because when the mirror brought him to this world, it chose an ordinary tree seed and in a location where he would not face any danger from the world. And the mirror surface is the unintelligible soul of the tree, and its soul occupies the body.

As the soul did not belong to the body, it was easy to be separated. But after becoming extraordinary, everything changed. During each process to extraordinary, his soul embedded a mark on the tree and increasing his connection with the tree.

And the white light that enters his soul after he becomes extraordinary is the unintelligent soul. The real soul of the tree enters Merin’s soul because his breath matches closely with the tree, and the unintelligent soul, without thinking, enters his soul. As the essence of his soul and the unintelligent soul are the same.

Now, he again turned his thoughts to how to earn merit and started thinking. And the only way he has now is the ability of the mirror. The mirror is called the dream mirror, and the mirror can send its soul to be born again in any world.

For him micro world is the best to earn merit as the highest cultivator is off 20 ranks. To earn merit, he has to enter one of the micro worlds, as this world is a middle world, and it is damaged. But then also the highest person would be more than rank 20. According to the mirror, the cultivation system of this world extends to the limit of the world.

So, for him, it’s to enter a micro world. But not now, he has to prepare for entering a micro world. The preparation is to develop some attack methods. He doesn’t know what micro world he would enter, but it is better to develop some attack method.

First, he would develop methods for the power of the soul. Be it attack, defence, control or any other. To develop a method using the power of the soul, he needs to increase his understanding of his soul.

For this, he starts research on the souls of the beasts around, selecting the beasts that are going to die. He sees the beast’s soul break down, and they vanish. He was slow in capturing the soul element particle, but the next time, as a beast dies, he captures some of the particles with divine consciousness. According to the mirror, Soul strength is known as Divine consciousness.

He did not capture all the soul particles, only some, but for this moment, it is enough, and he starts to comprehend and as understanding increases. As he completely understands these soul particles, he feels many ideas of spells appear in his mind. But before creating the spell, he felt it would be better to understand every soul particle that makes the soul of an ordinary beast.

And he finally comprehended after a couple of years, as two new rings were added inside his body. A wave spread from his body across the desert. Every beast from small to large falls down, also the birds flying under his canopy fall on the ground, creating a bloody mess. “Shit”, he cursed he did not think of the consequence of the spell.

There used to be no flying birds in the desert before it grew into a huge tree and a wider canopy. And because of him, around 60% of the ordinary birds died. Because of him, they came to live here, and also because of him, now they died.

After reflecting on this, and decided to be careful when testing new spells. He watches in a couple of hours, the extraordinary beasts get up one by one first and look around, confused about how they fell asleep. The next spell is an illusion spell, and without any dying, he perfects the spell.

And attack spell with divine consciousness, he tries them on beasts on their deathbed. After some time, he perfects the spell to the limit of his ability. The mirror also created an interface for him after he repeatedly asked how powerful his spells are. It is like a game panel with information about him and his spells.

Status Panel

Name- Merin

Age- 150

Rank-6 (13/1000)

Spells-

Rank 4-

Illusion (57/100)

Soul Whip (4/100)

Soul Needle (19/100)

Rank 5-

Sleep (88/1000)

The first three spells could be improved by practice, but the sleep spell is at the limit of development with his understanding of the soul. But he did not practice the three soul spells, but started to create a spell with wood and moon element. He created and then practised them, and now he has two rank 3, one rank 4 and one rank 5 wood element spells.

But he was only able to create two spells of the moon element, and both of them are rank 5. Now he is ready for his incursion into a new world.

He asks the mirror, “What will be the highest strength in the world you’re going to send me to?”

The mirror responds, “It will be a low-level micro world. The highest strength there will be under rank 10.”

He nods slowly. “And how are you going to send me? I assume you’ll send my soul?”

“Yes,” the mirror replies.

“What about my body?”

“I will take care of it,” the mirror says. “You don’t have to worry. That world experiences time at about one-hundredth the speed of this one. If you reach the world’s limit—rank 11—you’ll be at the peak. A rank 11 has a maximum lifespan of 500 years. So, from your perspective, you’ll be gone for five years.”

He gives a faint smile. “And if I’m unlucky, I could be back the next moment.”

“Yes,” the mirror says. “And one more thing—I’ll have to seal your soul.”

“Why?”

“Your soul is too powerful. No ordinary newborn body could bear it.”

“I see… Okay. I’m ready. Do I need to do anything?”

“Nothing,” the mirror replies. “I’ll handle everything.”

He wants to reincarnate in another world so quickly because he is a tree. In any world, the situation of a tree is dangerous as they have no mobility.

And, he is an extraordinary so more valuable. So, if a stronger cultivator found him, then his situation would be dangerous.

So, he wants to quickly reincarnate into another world. To quickly go stronger, as if he were able to earn merit. The mirror promises he will keep 60% of it, and the mirror will teach how to use the merit.

Merin, in his soul space, watches as the mirror begins to shine. Runes and patterns bloom around him. They twist and ripple like streams of molten light, encircling him from every side.

As he gazes at them, a sharp dizziness grips his mind. The symbols seem to burn into his soul, each one pressing against his awareness, humming with unknowable intent. A headache builds, pulsing with every flicker of light.

Then, the runes begin to converge. They spiral inward, forming a cage of radiance around him. The pressure deepens, and a creeping blackness floods the edges of his thoughts.

Darkness seizes his consciousness.

He stops thinking.
