"I see, you are a monster with a pseudo-madness core."
A look of sympathy appears in the young man's eyes as he stares at the collapsed monster before him.
"Or, more accurately, a cultivator who lost control during the formation of their core and turned into a monster."
Suddenly, a look of bewilderment appears in the young man's eyes as he lifts his hand from the monster's head.
"However, this is strange. I remember that when my previous life saw you, you were merely a human. Could it be my previous life misjudged due to its weakness?"
"No, even so, it remains illogical for a human cultivator at the peak of Foundation Building to hide as a weak human, let alone attempt to form their core amidst the Sea of Pain."
The young man scratches his head in confusion as he looks at the monster before him.
And suddenly, his eyes gleam.
"Oh, I see. You are not a cultivator who lost control while forming her core, but merely a mortal who lost control. However, your terrifying talent allowed you to absorb the cursed energy from the Sea of Pain and form a pseudo-madness core."
"Tsk, what a disappointment. A great talent like yours will die in such an ignominious way."
"Perhaps, if you had survived, with your immense talent and your proximity to curses, you could have achieved what the Five Immortals could not: control the Sea of Pain, and perhaps become the Third Monster King that terrifies this world for ages."
The mysterious young man sighs sadly as he looks at the monster before him, then places his hand back on the monster's deformed head.
"Such a pity."
"#¥£₹§"
Simultaneously with the young man's mysterious words, the monster screams in anguish as it disintegrates into nothingness in the air.
"Save me!"
"Please!"
"I beg you, great one!"
Upon seeing the monster's demise, I scream in a hoarse voice as I beg for salvation.
"Oh, still alive?"
Upon hearing my screams, the mysterious young man approaches me, allowing me to see his features clearly, yet I don't focus on them.
"Please, I don't want to die."
I plead to the mysterious young man with the last bit of strength I can gather in my dying body.
'Why am I like this? I thought I had gotten used to death.'
And yet, I haven't. Death is still frightening.
"Calm down."
I feel the mysterious young man's hand covering my head.
"I cannot save you."
"And yet, I can make you die without pain."
I feel the pain in my stomach disappear, replaced by a pleasant sensation.
And yet, I still feel like I'm fading.
"And our meeting can be considered a kind of fate. Therefore, I will give you a gift. If you can ever awaken the memories of your previous life, you will thank me for it."
As the mysterious young man speaks, I feel strange knowledge appear in my brain, and simultaneously, my vision darkens, announcing the end of this life.
________
A strange feeling of cold envelops my body as I stare at the frozen world outside the window.
"..."
This time, I remain contemplating the scene outside for a long time until the old woman's knocking snaps me out of my reverie.
"Young man Salem, are you here?"
"Yes."
After receiving the Dawnflower petals from the old woman, I sit at the desk in my home and begin to review what happened in my previous cycle.
"Another disaster. But this time, at least I didn't come out empty-handed."
I contemplate the knowledge now in my mind.
"The Wheel of Other Lives."
"By continuously reincarnating and condensing your different lives, you can create the Wheel of Other Lives."
"Unfortunately, this is not a cultivation method."
Indeed, the method in my mind is not a cultivation method, but a way to condense the memories of a person's previous lives to create what is called the "Wheel of Other Lives."
"What a mysterious and strange method."
Suddenly, I remember the mysterious young man who emerged from Shou Bao Tsai's body and referred to him as his previous life.
"Will I become like him too?"
"Wait, can I use the memories of my different cycles as a substitute for previous lives?"
"Unfortunately, I won't know until I try."
"And unfortunately, I also need at least Qi Condensation cultivation to be able to create the weakest Wheel of Other Lives."
Yes, it was mentioned in the knowledge that appeared in my mind that I need Qi Condensation cultivation and memories of five lives to create the weakest Wheel of Other Lives.
But the problem is, I don't possess cultivation methods.
"Wouldn't it have been great if he had included a cultivation guide with the method for creating the Wheel of Other Lives?"
I sigh with regret as I remember the end of the previous cycle.
Remembering the end of the previous life, I feel mixed emotions in my heart.
"I need to reach the Dead Giant Island to become a cultivator."
The problem is, a new obstacle has appeared before me.
But this time, it's not just because my escape routes have run out.
But also because...
"That language the monster was speaking was a language from Earth."
