Reincarnated as a World

Eridel continued to send down various kinds of information down the Soulmate link that would especially be beneficial for a planet. Maths, Science, Languages, Life and Death, different kinds of animal and plant life, the various cultivation paths, knowledge of the Eridius System and some other stuff.

As for knowledge on formations, Eridel was sure that the pink planet would be able to instinctively use the ones inscribed on its body. They had surely become a part of her body like the surrounding gas clouds. She could manipulate them as she wished. But as for other formations? She could learn about them herself if she was interested. Eridel didn’t intend to alter her path at all.

Other than that, Eridel has also sent down basic information about himself. Not who he was as a person, but what he was. Another planet just like her, but one which was much more evolved. He had also sent her images of the different sceneries on his planet and what a terrestrial World filled with life should look like.

However, with those images he had sent down a short message that the 2 of them were fundamentally different and that she should not try to emulate him. It would likely result in complete failure. After this he waited peacefully as she digestested the information one by one. It didn’t take long and he could see her swiftly analysing going through the information, only pausing every now and then.

If it was anyone else, talk less of analysing the information quickly or even slowly, their minds might have directly collapsed! This was because information that Eridel had sent was not small at all and would have been too much for an ordinary Soul to handle. Planet’s on the other hand had always had the strongest Souls from birth. But on top of that, even though that the pink gaseous planet was was still just a planet and had yet to step into the rankings of a Low World, its Soul was still as powerful one (If a Low World was capable of having a Soul), so the amount of information that Eridel had sent was easily being sorted out by her.

He couldn’t help but admit that he felt a strange feeling of satisfaction as he watched the Soulmate link pulse with activity each time she absorbed more information, a feeling that only became more profound when he noticed that her Soul was becoming enriched. For a blank slate Soul, the best source of nourishment was knowledge. Knowledge bred thoughts and thoughts bred questions, questions sought answers and answers sought proof. It was a cycle that made a Soul more active and lively.

As Eridel watched, the pink planet's Soul became more vibrant as it hummed with hundreds of thoughts. It wasn’t quite the millions of thoughts that Eridel could achieve, but it was still very good. Eridel was not only a Mid World with the power of a High World, but his Soul had been empowered many times by a strange Soul Cultivation path that he was very advanced on. They could not be compared.

3 hours later, the pink planet had finally finished absorbing all of the Knowledge that Eridel had sent it and the activity of its Soul slowed to a low hum. However, that didn’t last long. Without prompt the pink planet suddenly released its Spirit Sense for the first time, probing within its own body for a moment before probing into outer space.

Eridel had shared a fair bit of information about space and it was most likely that she was trying to see for herself.

After what seemed like a short bout of experimentation, her Spirit Sense expanded once more and finally enveloped his little avatar. He could feel her Spirit Sense pulse with fledgling emotions that were reminiscent of confusion, faint recognition and curiosity. Clearly, she wasn’t capable of removing her emotions from her Spirit Sense yet, but the reason was obvious. As for the specific emotions she was feeling? It was likely that she was able to feel the strange connection between him and the Soulmate link but was confused about what it meant.

When Eridel had sent information about himself, he had indeed included the fact that he was the one sending her information, something that she would have discovered later on anyways. However, because of this, the knowledge that the sender of the information that had been sent to her was another planet like her completely blocked her from thinking that the strange little light that gave her a familiar feeling was the same as ‘him’. The disparity between the 2 forms was too huge.

Eridel had not sent her information about Avatars. This was because he didn’t want her to think that ‘little lights’ were the exemplary form when she gained the ability to construct her own Avatar. She would likely come in contact with other avatars and the memory of his own should be significant, but not only were first impressions lasting, but the fact that he was her Soulmate would also make the first form that he used to appear before her more striking.

He’d rather not have her remember this embarrassing form.

Unfortunately, his little avatar seemed to be the most interesting thing in the vicinity and she continued to probe. He was sure that she wasn’t yet creative enough to come to a reasonable deduction, but prevention was always better than cure!

He immediately sent her a message using the Soulmate link that ‘small light’ was something akin to his subordinate that was meant to guide her towards him. However as he said this he couldn’t help but feel a small amount of shame.

What kind of stupid lie was that?

Eridel sighed. Since when did he have to resort to covering up mistakes like a little boy? How embarrassing…
