The Legacy System

The surging Spirit Power clearly didn't break his limitations, as he could regenerate only up to how much he could, but it was like he had an extra battery, or source of Spirit Power.

As long as the beautiful owner had spirit power inside itself, then Eric would have no problem of recharging his Spirit Power to fight.

His Soul Separation had wrestled much of the connection with his conscience sea during this time and could use it in his favor and to regenerate, but the rate of that regeneration was low.

Furthermore, he didn't have full authority of the conscience sea he was standing upon, so he wasn't able to make full use of that connection, and strength.

Not to mention that in the end of the day, the Soul Separation was just a byproduct of Eric's will, and not the true owner of this place, so he still was influenced by Eric's will and thoughts.

Earlier these restrictions didn't appear, because Eric had willingly not used them, in order to truly frighten that beautiful owner, but now everything had changed.

With those thoughts in mind, he immediately got into action and started restoring the connection he had with his conscience sea.

It was just like the owner had left his house in rent, and the guy renting had tried to make it his own, but at the end of the day, the true owner returned to his house, that belonged to him.

The moment that the original Soul Avatar of Eric started retaking control of the conscience sea, the strength of the whirlpools started fading away, and one whirlpool wasn't enough against a chain anymore.

Not only that, but the balance was quickly being restored, and tipped into the direction of the original Soul Avatar.

The Soul Clone didn't seem to want to accept this situation, so it immediately started doing it's best to fight back.

It started creating stronger, and more powerful whirlpools to try and destroy the original Soul Avatar in order to truly control this Conscience Sea and become its true owner.

Only like that it would be able to have his own fate at his own will, but the original Soul Avatar, didn't want to lose its own, so the moment it restored a bit of that connection it started using it.

Not only was he willingly lowering the strength of those whirlpools, but at the same time, he was creating whirlpools of his own to help the chains.

In this kind of situation, the original Eric was clearly taking its deserved place, and throne, but the Soul Clone wasn't convinced, and willing.

Since it had arrived there, and it had been so close to having full authority of this place, it didn't want to accept the fact that he had lost.

So, in a fit of anger, rage, and unwillingness he decided that since he was unable to get the control, then he could only explode himself and this place, so even the original Eric didn't.

One had to say that it was quite the decision, after all, that meant the complete destruction of himself, and the original but it didn't seem to care.

Eric was a man with quite the experience, and he had seen many experts and many strong people have that same look on their face when they were about to do something stupid.

So, he immediately had a strange, and terrible premonition. Seeing the Soul Clone started to swell the Spirit Power inside, he understood what it was trying to do, and he truly wanted to destroy that thing.

Damn this whole situation had gone out of his hand, he had never thought that his Soul Clone would think of something like this at the last moments of its existence.

He couldn't believe it, but he knew that he had to stop him, otherwise he was going to suffer quite a bit, he had to do his best.

Fortunately, since the Soul Clone was focused on its self-imploding it had lost quite a bit of its concentration on the control of the conscience sea.

Eric knew that if he panicked or lost an important chance in this situation it meant his total death, so he didn't dare of letting it happen.

With full concentration, he immediately wrestled the lost control of the conscience sea from the Soul Clone and started using whirlpools to seal him out of his conscience sea.

But even though the connection had restored up to 62% he was still unable to throw him out as he could only, cover him more and more.

The beautiful owner of the Legacy System didn't seem to rest easy as well, as it was trying to use its chains to seal the explosion of that guy as well as it could.

It was quite the situation, but there was nothing else she could do at those moments, not to mention that Eric was already exhausting her Spirit Power like it was air or water.

If Eric didn't have such a bit battery by his side, that would fill his lack of Spirit Power all the time, then there was no way he was going to be able to stay alive.

He would have long lost the battle for his Conscience Sea and would just be some kind of wandering soul or even worse a slave soul for his own Soul Clone.

Both of them were trying their best to do everything they could in order to stop the explosion, or at least keep it under wraps.

Seeing that the longer it tried to charge up, the greater were Eric's and the owner of Legacy System's chances of stopping him, the Soul Clone decided to give an end to this and chose explosion.

"BBBBOOOOOMMMMMM~!"

Immediately after, a huge and terrifying explosion happened inside Eric's Conscience Sea, throwing him far away from there, as the sea started to evaporate and turned into vapor.

Eric could feel that he was losing sentience as that happened, but there was nothing he could do, he could only endure the pain and suffering.

He swore inside that if that damned thing didn't disappear with the self-imploding, then he would torture him for thousands of years, unfortunately that wasn't possible anymore.

Watching this happen the beautiful owner of the Legacy System could only frown with anger and pain, as if the explosion caused too much of a damage then Eric would turn into an idiot.

Especially if he lost the material that was trying to escape his Conscience Sea. Even if it didn't make him stupid, it would surely mean the loss of many memories.

If that happened, she didn't know what would happen with Eric, and the deal between them, so she couldn't let that happen, no matter what.

With that thought in mind, she quickly started using her own Spirit Power to create some kind of glassy barrier around his Conscience Sea and didn't allow those memories to leave the place.

But the technique she used was called, 'Glass Conscience' and it exhausted quite a bit of her Spirit Power, even though she didn't want this to happen, she was still forced to fall asleep.

Only like that, and with the help of Eric would she be able to wake up again, even though she would like the sooner the better.

By the time that Eric's original Soul Avatar returned to its position, the situation inside his Conscience Sea had changed quite a bit.

Not only was there no sign of that Soul Clone, but also his Conscience Sea had turned to its original view, form, and state. Like the explosion had never happened.

That clearly stunned Eric as he didn't expect there to be such a possibility but seeing was believing, and there was truly no sign of that explosion.

Totally ignoring this fact, he immediately turned his attention towards his Legacy System interface, and then saw that there were a few notifications,

! Warning! The First Master of the Legacy System has exhausted its spirit power, so it is entering hibernation!

! Warning! Since the First Master of the Legacy System is unable to provide with the necessary Spirit Power to keep the Legacy System active the Legacy System will enter hibernation as well.

! Warning! During the time that the Legacy System will be in hibernation, only the basic functions, of the Legacy System will be available.

! Warning! The skills and abilities of the Host will lose the Legacy System boost, and their strength will depend on the proficiency and efficiency of the Second Master.

! Warning! The Second Master can proceed with the evolution if he so decides, the required energy and Spirit Power of the evolution is more than sufficient!

! Warning! A message from First Master before hibernation! "I hope you don't disappoint me and my trust!"

Reading all these notifications and warnings Eric couldn't help but feel a bit apprehensive, because if it hadn't been for the beauty's timed intervention he would truly end up as an idiot or having amnesia.

Well, he could only try his best to pay her back later when he had the opportunity, right now it was useless to keep pondering about it.

Then with a thought the scenery around him changed completely as he appeared somewhere where he didn't know if he should be, but after confirming his doubts and thoughts he immediately left.

Regaining his conscience in the outside world, he found out that he was still at the entrance of the tunnel, with Ren Jia beside him, who had put his head on her spongy thighs.

It felt like they were the best cushion he could find, as he only showed her a light smile, while saying,

"Wait for me, I am almost over!"

Now that the danger was gone he would most certainly decide to evolve, but before that there was something he had to do no matter what…
