Then the moment King Yama finished, Sam asked;

"I believe there are others who accumulated the same merits as me and even more, but why did you pick me?"

"Because… you and I are from the same realm" King Yama replied...

"From the same realm?!" Sam asked looking adorably lost.

"Oh right! According to the mundane world; I also came from Earth, but that was over seven eons ago" King Yama explained.

"All these souls; aren't they also from earth?!" Sam curiously asked.

"Not everyone in the Netherworld comes from Earth..."

"In the infinite universe, there are three major realms; the Heaven, the Netherworld and the Mortal realms." King Yama answered.

"The Heaven refers to the Celestial or Divine realms of which there are seven, the Netherworld refers to the underworld of which there are nine hells and lastly the Mortal realm where there are hundreds of millions of Major Worlds and countless Minor Worlds..." King Yama explained further.

"Earth is only one of the minor worlds, the nine planets including their respective moons and the Sun make up a Major World. Earth has only a couple billion people..."

"Every moment, people die in those millions of major world and countless minor worlds and their souls descends into the Netherworld!"

"Can you imagine how many souls are present in this Kingdom?"

King Yama asked as he looked at Sam whose pupils were already dilated in shock.

"Since you're going to reincarnate now, let me tell you a bit about the six paths of reincarnation…"

"The six paths of reincarnation refers to: Sovereigns (Devas and Asuras), Humans, Animals, Plants, Vengeful Ghosts and Hell beings..."

"The Devas and Asuras are called; The Sovereigns and are also considered as beings born directly out of immense power…."

"They are regarded as the architects of all plane of existence, since they were the ones who built them in the first place…"

"The Humans and Animals are called; The Mundane, and are also considered as beings of the Mortal Realm, since they are born in the million major worlds and countless minor worlds..."

"The Vengeful Ghosts and Hell beings are called; The Supremes, and are also considered as beings of the netherworld as they exist in the underworld or hells." King Yama explained...

"You're going to be born in the mortal realm, but into one of the major worlds where there are cultivators, demon beasts and ancient existence..."

"Since you and I are both from earth, I will give you the choice to either keep your memory or not…" King Yama spoke.

"That will be my personal gift to you as a fellow earthling; allowing you to choose to either bypass Grandma Meng's elixir of forgetfulness, so you can keep your memories or forget them all…"

"But be warned, the world of cultivation is a place where the strong eat the weak, a place where power reigns supreme..."

"This means that, it would do you a great deal of favor, if you cultivate quietly and subtly until you have enough strength to protect yourself."

"Luck would only make you come in contact with divine items and beings..."

"If the stronger experts in such world came to know that you possess such items, it might bring doom to you and all you will care about…" King Yama warned sternly.

"Go!"

King Yama waved his hands as a golden glow flew into Daniel's soul, before he vanished out of sight.

"By the order of King Yama, I have come to escort you through the path of the yellow springs, so you may enter the mortal realm tunnel."

An alluring, blue robed lady spoke to Sam as they flew towards Sam who was still looking around in shock, as to how he suddenly found himself mid-air alongside a blue robed lady.

Just a while ago, he had been in the King Yama's study; ow did he suddenly appear on the road to the yellow springs?

Sam and the young lady flew through the yellow springs, bypassing many souls along the way before they arrived before Grandma Meng, an old lady who was all bones and skin...

Behind her were three tunnels in which several souls were already filing into...

Grandma Meng looked at Daniel before a golden glow flew out of his soul which was caught by the old woman...

Shock flashed across the old woman's face before she gave the awkward looking Sam a mysterious pitch black cup that had blood red runes etched onto it…

There was also a yellow liquid within this cup, and Sam, just by looking at it, understood that, if he wanted to forget everything about his past till this present moment, all he had to do was drink whatever the content of that cup is…

The old woman gave Sam the cup, and then waved her hands as an invincible force grabbed Daniel and ushered him into the tunnel to the mortal realm.

"Hua!"

Daniel felt a bone-piercing cold wash all over him, and felt the energy in the environment around him change as a golden light burst out of him, forming some sort of barrier around him as he sped through some sort of mystical tunnel…

Then he felt himself arrive within a new world, and was falling at blinding speed as everything just kept magnifying in his sight, until he saw the figure of what might be the body of a handsome little kid with a bleeding forehead on the ground…

Then just as he was about to fall into this little kid, he saw another black colored soul going after the same kid, and though, he knew nothing about mystical arts, but Sam was very certain [for some strange reasons] that two different souls shouldn't exist within the same body…

Then he heard the soul actually curse King Yama who had just blessed him with an opportunity to reincarnate, something he found offensive and prompted him to curse the black soul in King Yama's defense;

"What the fuck?"

"Who the fuck are you?"

Sam blurted, but then he saw the man make some mind-numbing hand seals and attacked him with the intent to kill, and being a newbie who knew nothing about where he was arriving into, Sam looked at the content of his cup and simply decided to use it to defend himself…

He thought, if he poured the liquid within the cup on the soul, then the soul would forget everything, but then, a massive burst of energy burst out of the pitch black souls arm and splashed some of the liquid back at him;

"Oh, Snap!"

That was all Sam could remember as the liquid fell on him and surged straight into his mind, and in that exact moment, Sam felt a huge portion of his memories locked, and then shortly after, he completely forgot a portion of his memory had been locked, as he went utterly redundant…

[What a way to reincarnate!]

The empty brained Sam who didn't even know his name anymore simply found himself within a dark place, but it didn't take too long before a slit of light appeared in his world of darkness, which only seemed to grow wider as time passed...

Suddenly he felt some Kind of force pull him out of this dark space into the light, and then his world of darkness was transformed into a world of light; a light so bright that it was blinding...

He adjusted to the influx of the bright light, he finally made out few figures around him, and the closest was a grey-haired corpse of an old man, who was so old that his wrinkles looked like floors of a skyscraper building…

Then Sam felt a splitting headache, as he touched his forehead to scratch the itch there, only to feel something liquid there…

Sam quickly brought down his hand and saw blood on his hands;

"Unh?"

Sam looked at his hand and was instantly stunned;

"Who am I?"

Sam [Or Dara] who had lost almost 95 percent of his memories looked at his hand, and wasn't sure who he was, how he got to this place, or even why he was here, and whilst he was trying to remember, Dara's memories came cascading into his mind, bombarding him with ten solid years of torrential information…

His name was Ji Dara…

He lived within a village surrounded by fire called Sang; a village located right at the center of a Kingdom called Shangri La…

He was the second child of his dead parent who left him with a single sibling; his sister, Ji Dai, whose burial mound was only about ten meters away from him…

He was ten, and had no shred of cultivation even though lots and lots of his peers and even descendants younger than him had discovered their center…

Lots of memories flooded into Dara's mind

[I am using Dara because what qualifies a human as a being is because of its sentence, and sine the only sentience Sam is having now belongs to Dara, then that means Sam is currently Dara… At least, till he can unlock his memories…]

Then after about one hour, Dara was done receiving the new influx of memories, and when he began to examine himself, he could sense [though not clearly] that there was more to him now…

Like this sets of instincts, and an extraterrestrial language floating there within his mind, thus to confirm his suspicions, he decided to do what his sister had always told him to do whenever he was feeling out of sort; Meditate…

"But what better way can one meditate, if not in front of flowing waters…"

Dara told himself before he froze in his steps;

"Wait, how did I know that?"

Dara asked himself, not knowing that he had just accessed a little bit of Sam's unlocked memories…

He found his way down the cliff, towards the rushing water his sister had pushed him into previously, and took a bath…

After cleaning himself up, he changed into another outfit that was within the two bags he had just recovered; these were the bags he and his sister put all their supplies for today's mission;

"Speaking of missions; the rest are still yet to arrive… Have I and sister been schemed against?" Dara finally saw the truth…
