GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Gehald walked with confidence and approached the gate of the fortress directly. The Elven soldiers could see that he was a high elf and some could recognize him. Even though he was reclusive and didn't socialize much he was well known. It is all because he is a sovereign of their race and one of the youngest in history too.

The door began to open even before he reached it. The soldiers had already scanned him to ascertain his identity, when they found out it was him they rushed to let him exit. They didn't want to offend someone of his power and talent, he was bound to become an origin god soon.

"Your excellency." they saluted in greeting. Gehald nodded to them and walked by. He was in a hurry so he couldn't waste his time with chit-chat.

It was only when he left did they dare to say anything about him.

"Could he be coming back from the trial?" one of them asked.

"I don't know but it is a coincidence to arrive just as the tower opened" another answered.

"He can't be coming from the trial. Why would he go?" Another asked.

"That's true. There's no need for a Sovereign of our race to join the game of mindless slaughter that they call the trial of heaven. It is a barbaric sport to weed out the weak and stupid that are foolish enough to attend it in the first place."

"Even if he went he surely would have been part of the best and would be an origin god by now but I don't feel like he is one."

Some nodded while another chimed in. The strongest one among them is just a lord of law so he couldn't tell what power level Gehald had reached. They continued to talk about it for a while before it digressed into other matters.

It couldn't be helped, there is nothing to do, no one would dare to attack them. Even those who get lost or selected the wrong destination are rare. These guards were sent here by the race to man the fortress either as punishment or for contribution, so any form of entertainment is welcomed by them, including gossip. It is a good side effect of having the realm lord come from your race.

Gehald walked out of the outer fortress and approached the even bigger one in the distance. It was the main fortress, in charge of guarding the planar gate. It surrounds the planar gate with walls that can easily withstand blows from sovereigns.

Every plane must protect its planar gates because, without planar coordinates, the only way to enter a plane is through the planar gate. Even with the planar coordinates, it is very difficult to open a passageway that can accommodate more than one person and it would also have a restriction on power level.

Unlike the outer fortress that hadn't seen much use, the main fortress as at least a trickle of people going back and forth. It might not compare to the planar gates of the more popular planes but there is still some traffic. It is because of the strict requirements for an entry pass, just not anyone will be allowed to enter the Life plane.

Most of the people passing by are leaving the fortress so there was a short line of people trying to enter. Gehald bypassed this line, he showed an emerald green leaf and the soldiers made way for him. They greeted him and welcomed him back to the plane. He nodded and approached the planar gate within the fortress. It was a portal of swirling darkness. He jumped into it and experienced a slight pull on his body.

When he appeared again he was within the Life plane in front of another portal. It was currently daytime in the plane just like that on the ancient battlefield. He glanced back at the portal before leaving. "It is different from the teleportation during the trial of heaven." he commented.

The teleportation he had experienced during the trial was smoother than what he experienced just now. The slight pull he experienced would have a bigger effect on weaker people that use the planar gate. He put that behind him and thought more about his final preparations.

The information present in the library was truly vast, It was more than he ever expected. It would have been a daunting task to search through that ocean of books for specific information but thank mother High Heaven that there was a search engine.

The search engine made things convenient, he would search for some keywords and the library interface will present books with relevant information concerning his search, which is truly a blessing. It took some time for him to finally find what he was looking for, it was a boring but fulfilling search.

It was a book titled "How to do possession right" it costs a measly 0.001 points. This was because the book wrote about some unorthodox and controversial methods. But at least the book enlightened him and showed him how wrong he was about his previous notions on reincarnation.

He had thought reincarnation was simply possession but he was wrong. That wasn't reincarnation. Reincarnation isn't that simple or people would do it more. To successfully reincarnate he must have a new beginning in the soul, origin, and body.

But there was a problem with true reincarnation, according to the trinity theory of body, soul, and origin, a person that truly reincarnates isn't the same anymore. A person that truly reincarnates will lose his origin, body, and some soul imprints. That person will gain a new identity but will still have his memories. At least possession will allow you to keep your soul and origin connection.
