It floated for a long time. The soul floated, the stars changing positions around it. Some of the stars even died, releasing a bright pulse before dying forever. However, the soul speck simply floated on, unperturbed. It floated past many things during its' long journey - many uninhabited planets, even stars. Gravity didn't affect it - it was simply too small. At some point, it floated into an extremely tiny crack in space. In some chaotic regions of space, the space itself cracked on an impossibly small scale. It would produce a fissure smaller than a speck of dust, which closed in less than a millionth of a second. However, in an infinitely long span of time, even statistically impossible things will eventually happen - the soul had entered one of such microscopic cracks. The region of space beyond the crack was chaotic - streams of energy were bounding across the vast space, colliding with one another and forming such microscopic cracks. This space was full of action, unlike the infinite cosmos. However, the streams of energy were not able to affect the small spec that was Ye Jian's soul. It was protected by a power surpassing even space itself - the power of laws contained within the secret technique. The soul continued on within the chaotic space, until one day, it encountered something else. Two experts, fighting within the chaotic space. The ripples of energy from their fight created gigantic cracks, leading to other chaotic spaces, or the infinite cosmos the soul spec came from. However, miraculously, the soul managed to avoid them, before coming close to the experts themselves. The ripples from their fight couldn't affect them - although they did control the power of laws, the power from their laws couldn't contend with the power protecting Ye Jian's soul. The fight seemed to be drawing close to the climax - both experts were on the verge of collapse. One of them, a small figure clad in all black, commanded corrosive poison, which seemed to be able to corrode space itself. The other, a heroic looking man, wielded a gigantic sword made of flames, which caused the space surrounding it to melt into nothingness.

In a moment, both experts charged up their attacks. The small figure threw a tiny droplet of poison. Although the droplet looked normal, the space it passed seemingly wilted away - the power of laws, holding space together was melted away. It couldn't return to the region, so the space the droplet passed by eventually collapsed, forming rifts in space which didn't fade away. The man on the other hand waved his sword. The flames seemed to dim at the moment, concentrating on the edge of the blade. It made the sword reveal its' true form - a simple blade, without any decorations. However, the power it contained was immense, and under the heroic looking man's control, it was contained - the space around it intact.

Before the heroic man's sword even collided with the small droplet, the space between them collapsed. It's as if it had no right to exist in the vicinity of the two immensely powerful attacks. The moment the sword finally met the droplet, everything collapsed. The space itself, as well as the laws holding it together. It seemed like time had stopped too in the vicinity of the attacks. The tiny soul had managed to somehow float directly in the middle. The power of the experts' attack was so great it even forced the laws protecting the soul to reveal its' true power. The laws protecting the soul seemingly awoke like a slumbering dragon, before viciously attacking the power assaulting it. The power was extreme - it couldn't be described by words.

At the moment the power protecting Ye Jian's soul attacked, something seemed to collapse. It wasn't the space - it was something deeper, far sturdier. If normal space could be compared to a normal fabric, the thing which collapsed from the attack was like a meter thick steel wall. The gap itself wasn't huge, but it carried disastrous consequences. The laws of space which were holding space together, were like lambs before a wolf, and they retreated in fear. The space practically immediately collapsed and seemed to be sucked into that microscopic gap. Everything in the vicinity was sucked into it - including the power of the sword slash and the small droplet itself. The Qi, extremely sparse within the chaotic region of space, was instantly drained as well. The small speck of Ye Jian's soul was sucked into that gap as well. The power protecting it, seeing as there was no danger to the soul itself, didn't react. It was sucked away in an instant with everything in a small radius.

However, the suction power didn't grow smaller - instead, the gap only seemed to enlarge. The suction power actually grew, with more and more things beginning to be sucked out. The two experts instantly retreated, horrified. This power had far surpassed their imagination. However, the small figure in black seemed to be horrified, as the small droplet it sent out had been sucked in. Or rather, out. The thing broken here wasn't space itself, but the border of the world. If a world was a bubble, the thing broken here was the membrane of the bubble - if left alone, it would only spread and eventually pop. That's why, in less than a hundredth of a second, a terrible power descended and forcibly held the gap together to prevent it from spreading. The heavens couldn't allow their domain to break, or they would lose everything.

At the moment, Ye Jian's soul had no concept of time. It simply drifted through a different region of space - this time, the space was far more sturdy. Some distance behind it could be seen what seemed to be a bubble - it looked small, but gigantic at the same time. Its' exact location couldn't be discerned, and it seemed real and fake at the same time.

Ye Jian's soul simply floated, unaware of the changes. There, it too floated on, without a care in the world. It floated for a long time - thousands, if not millions of years. The stars changed many times, simply moving or even disappearing. There were even some stars which appeared after a small pulse.

At some time, in a region far away from the soul, a figure appeared. It was a man, but his entire figure was blurry and no features could be made out. He was extremely far away from the soul - he simply couldn't be seen. At the moment he appeared, it was like he didn't move, but he was in that spot from the beginning. He extended his hand, and closed his palm. That simple gesture possessed boundless power. The space, which was much sturdier than the one in the bubble, was like wet paper before it, and space in the surrounding millions of kilometres was gathered in the man's palm. There were several stars in the space gathered, but in front of the man's power, they were extinguished like candles.

Ye Jian's soul was contained within the man's palm as well. The power protecting his soul was doing its' best to protect his soul, but stood no chance before the man. As he gazed at the space contained within his palm, his vision seemed to penetrate the power and directly see Ye Jian. It was like his gaze could see Ye Jian's whole life, from birth till death, and even peer into his past reincarnations. The power protecting Ye Jian's soul was like a dragon, roaring at the restrains, but could ultimately do nothing. It was mindless - if it had a consciousness it would cower in fear.

However, the man didn't care. He did nothing to Ye Jian's soul or the power protecting it. He lowered his palm and disappeared from the place he was. The surrounding space started to rush in, stretching the surrounding space in order to fill the gap. Several stars were disrupted by it, and some even exploded as a result. However, the man was no longer there.

He was somewhere with no light and no Qi. There was nothing - not even space. Only one thing could be seen within his palm. It was the space he grabbed. There were several layers of protection around it, which were extremely similar to the bubble which Ye Jian's soul escaped from. The man's other had made several strange gestures before pointing at the ball of space. An extremely huge amount of runes poured into the ball. After that, the man procured another ball of light from somewhere. It was a soul - however, it was in a much better state that Ye Jian's. It was simply sleeping. Upon closer inspection, some features could be seen - the soul was Meng Li. The man stared at the soul for a moment before smiling slightly. The smile went unnoticed in the dark void.

The man procured another thing from somewhere - it was what seemed to be a simple rock. However, the rock seemed to exist in its' own world. It constantly produced Qi from within it, and it seemed like if it was released from the man's grasp, it would explode to form a bubble like the one Ye Jian was in. The man then pointed at Meng Li's soul - an extremely small part of his soul was separated and entered the small rock. The unruly rock then calmed down. It turned into what seemed like an ordinary rock. Meng Li's soul also underwent some extremely slight changes. The changes were small, but they continued. As Meng Li was asleep, the changes continued. The man then threw the rock into the small orb of space he was holding. Ye Jian's soul was still inside, unharmed. The rock greedily absorbed the space within the orb before seemingly fusing with the outermost layer of protection. At that moment, the man didn't need to use his own power to hold it in.

After all that was done, the man carefully placed Meng Li's soul into the small orb. His soul passed by the layers of protection like they were nothing until it eventually settled inside a small section of space, which was seemingly separate from the main section. The space was surrounded by the layer of runes the man placed within previously. Meng Li's soul settled inside the space, and a dense amount of runes surrounded it. Some flesh seemed to form around the soul.

The man smiled at the sight and sighed slightly. He then released his grasp of the orb and watched it instantly grow. Despite the fact that the growth of the orb seemed to include the place the man was standing, they never collided. The orb grew to an enormous size before stopping. The man sighed once again and disappeared like he was never there.

The process of flesh forming took an incredibly long amount of time, and Ye Jian's soul simply floated around the main section of space in that time. After the process was finished, Meng Li woke up in the white room - it was the space formed by the runes.

The events which follow were already history. Ye Jian's soul was still floating around the planet created in Meng Li's world. There, it floated for a long time - a mysterious power surrounded the planet, and his soul bounced when it made contact with it. It continued on for an extremely long time until it finally managed to somehow enter Xie Ja's womb and merge with her child with the help of Meng Li.

Maybe it was fate which caused all of it to happen, or maybe it was just a coincidence. No matter what caused it, Ye Jian ended up becoming a child to Ye Jin and was in the end named Ye Jian - the same name he used in his old life. His soul was slumbering up until the point where he was born, at which point he became extremely confused as to what was going on.
