Too much was as bad as too little!
To be more precise to Eric this experience was just like someone who was on drugs. It felt too surreal at first, and when he understood it was real, the excitement in his heart had already surpassed the limit.
He was on overdose at that moment, and it wasn't anything good for him, or for his heart, and path towards the peak.
If one wanted to climb towards the peak, the most important things were an impervious will and a stable and steady heart.
For someone who strived towards the peak of not only Earth but also the Origin World, and the whole living being, these riches were nothing more than dust and dirt.
It didn't mean that these materials didn't have value in his heart, it was just that these things weren't as precious as he took them to be at first.
Certainly, these things had a high value at the moment and were a great opportunity for him to build his foundation, but in a short amount of time, these would seem like nothing big.
Thinking like this, Eric understood that even though he had lived through 2 lives he was still too vulnerable towards the riches and wealth of the mortal world..
"Aiyah~! It seems like it is really hard for the human heart to be able to endure such enticement, and this isn't even a strong attack.
My path towards the peak is bound to be really difficult and dangerous. It kind of makes me want to give up on that stupid dream of mine!"
Thinking like that he truly felt like the resolve and determination inside his heart were growing weaker, and weaker as he was truly considering to really give up on his dream.
The human will be extremely feeble and delicate, once it understands how difficult and dangerous the path ahead will be, it starts wavering and get confounded with doubts.
Every human dreams of one day flying and reaching the sky, the moon, the sun, the whole universe, but actually how many are able to reach something like that.
Eric was the same, after joining his soul with the Legacy System, and seeing its potential he felt like he had the right to dream about standing at the peak.
But only now did he truly understand that his Legacy System was only an external helper, and if he wanted to reach the top, he would have to rely on himself.
On his weak heart, and weak resolve!
With those thoughts in his mind, just what right did he have to think of reaching the peak? He was just a feeble human and was already difficult to deal with in a small place like Earth and a weak Realm 2 Puppet.
The world, the universe was so wide and deep that he had no idea how many beings and powerful people were out there.
He didn't have to read Xianxia novels to understand that there must be a lot of powerful organizations, planets, and geniuses that had much better resources and preparations to reach that dream.
In front of them, he was just the same as these diamonds in front of their wealth, dust and dirt without meaning and value.
The true favored sons and daughters of the Universe, people that he could only dream about and probably never touch.
Just what right, and what strength did he have that he could use to dream about them, follow them, reach them, and surpass them.
Wasn't he just a small toad at the bottom of the well? How could he jump out of his well only to appear inside a bigger well and jump again?
He had made an Equals Contract with that true owner of the Legacy System, but now that he thought about it that was already something beyond his capabilities.
When he had returned back, he had no idea of all these things, he had returned only for his revenge, but all of a sudden these thoughts and ideas sprung out of his head.
If he didn't feel that these thoughts were delusional then what would be. Only at that point did he understand human greed and ambition.
But as he was thinking like that, he suddenly heard a sound from inside him,
"Don't give up! Everything under the Heavens will be ours! Everything under the Heavens belongs to us!"
He was extremely shocked and surprised as he didn't understand what was going on, trying to perceive that sound, he found out that it wasn't coming from the Legacy System or its owner.
No, it was coming from that metallic lustrous egg inside his conscience sea, and to make matters even weirder, the moment he heard that voice, it seemed like his whole body was reverberating.
Every cell of his body seemed to tremble in joy as the vibration of that voice pass through them like he was some kind of conducting wire.
"Fu*ck me!"
He had never thought that there would be something alive inside that thing, something that could make him tremble in joy.
Like an idiot, he had allowed that thing to enter inside his weakest, and most important place, his conscience, creating another big variable in there.
"Don't worry I am unable to do anything to you! Our lives and destinies are tied together! You can think of it as one of those Equals Contract that you have with that lass over there!"
Eric felt quite surprised and embarrassed as his intentions had been uncovered immediately as he thought them, making him even more scared of that entity, but hearing the rest his heart calmed down.
But still, he didn't dare to lower his guard as he said,
"How can I trust you!?"
"Only the time can prove my words, as right now you are too weak to understand that. Otherwise, we would have been able to share even more blood together to strengthen our connection.
I didn't expect to make a connection with you either, it seems like it's the Karma between us two.
I can tell you one thing though, as long as you are willing and able to boldly face all the difficulties in your path, you will certainly reach every favored son and daughter of heaven.
In fact, your position is even better than them, as you will certainly build your strength, and your character, and your power from the bottom to the top.
Your strength will clearly be above them even as you are following them. As long as you don't give up that is!"
Hearing those words, Eric's gloomy mood and thoughts seemed to start disappearing slowly, as he felt like the entity inside the egg wasn't cracking jokes.
For some odd reason, he felt like he wanted to believe those words like he could believe those words. That dream of his appeared in his sight once again.
It was extremely foggy and blurred, but he felt like he could see the direction of it. He felt like it wasn't impossible anymore.
Then he fell under deep thinking, and it was unknown after how long his Soul Avatar looked towards the Dragon Egg and asked in an extremely solemn voice,
"Do you truly believe I can do it!?"
"I don't have any other choice, I didn't expect to end up here, and connect with someone like you. So, I can only believe that this life of mine wouldn't end up in disappointment.
I want to one day roar to the heavens once again and show my pride! Only if you walk forward can I achieve that!"
"Hahahahaha~!"
As that entity inside the Dragon Egg said those words, Eric suddenly started laughing like a lunatic, as if he had lost his life.
Perhaps even that entity inside had thought that this was too much for Eric to bear, and had collapsed under pressure, feeling sadness and regret his fate.
But then his voice sounded amidst the laughter,
"What a good way to put it forward! Hahaha~! Now you have sparked that wish inside me too!
I don't know what or who you are, and I don't want to ask right now as I know that it will be useless, but I can say one thing for sure.
One day I will be roaring towards the Heavens by your side!
Hahahaha~!"
"Hahahahahaa~!"
At first, the entity inside the Dragon Egg seemed to have been surprised as well at his words, but the next instant it started laughing as well.
But differently from the normal heavy voice of normal, this time it was a chirping sound of a little lady, that would make even Gods and Devils lose their mind hearing it.
Eric wasn't any different as he had never thought that there could exist such a sweet, and beautiful voice. It was much better than even the sirens of legends.
He couldn't help but turn into some kind of frozen statue, that seemed to have been lost its meaning in existing.
Noticing that strange change in his Soul Avatar that entity couldn't help but ask with clear wonder,
"Huh, what happened to you!? Aiiii…"
It was only at that moment that it understood that it had forgotten to change its voice, and its true voice sounded through Eric's Conscience Sea.
Even though it wasn't using any spirit power, or skill it felt like it had completely frozen Eric's Conscience Sea, fearing that the blow was too big.
Understanding that, it immediately changed its voice into a normal one, like a normal and average girl, and asked with frighten,
"Are you okay? Gather yourself! You can't go like that!"
But the next moment it heard something that perhaps made her feel like the ceiling had crushed over its head…
