on top of a skyscraper as he used the time element to turn back time again.

He stopped when he came to the point where Danny was lying on the floor.

John saw the soul come out of Danny’s body, but then it disappeared. He knew that was the past him collecting Danny’s soul, so he waited a few seconds before he flew down.

Using the time element to freeze time once more, Danny’s soul was placed in front of Danny’s body before John guided it back inside. At the same time, he used his Chaos Power to heal Danny’s body.

When the body was healed and the soul was placed back inside, John used the Soul Manipulation skill on him and made Danny forget what happened.

He gave Danny another command. Then, he unfroze time as he flew a few meters in the air to watch what would happen.

John could see Danny’s eyes waking up not long afterwards.

The driver that hit Danny was helping him stand up while apologising repeatedly.

John watched as Claire ran from in front of the law firm to where Danny got hit, and as soon as Danny saw her, he ran up to her and embraced her for a few seconds before giving her a passionate kiss.

After their lips separated, John heard Danny confess his love and that the accident made him realise just how short life was.

John smiled because he wasn’t sure if commanding Danny to confess to Claire would work. Even though the skill could control the soul, when it came to a person’s feelings, anything was possible since even his magical system couldn’t control emotions.

Since he helped Danny have a better outcome, John was in a better mood, so he decided to help O’Malley and the other Transcendents before doing the rest of the time jumping.

He opened his universal map and found that the large nano metal castle he woke up in was actually showing up, so he tried teleporting there. The system asked if he wanted to teleport there, so he clicked yes and disappeared.

Chapter 37: Milking Information

John landed at the place he had arrived in when he transcended. Underneath him was a platform made of nano metal which had strange marks etched into it.

John knew it was a teleport rune from the old days. It wouldn’t teleport a real body, but it would only work when a soul had transcended. Even though John had studied runes for a long time, he had no idea how that one worked.

He remembered that this rune and the one inside the room where he transcended were connected together. With that knowledge, he could make his own, but he just didn’t know how it worked in principle.

In his Scan, he could see O’Malley and Jamie sitting on some armchairs around the round table. John walked towards the castle, through the open doors, and into the courtyard.

O’Malley spotted John and paused his conversation with Jamie. “Oh, I didn’t see the teleport rune light up. The runes that stop the Chaos Power from entering the castle didn’t get disturbed either.

“You must have gotten here through a skill you own. Maybe the same one that got you away from the battlefield at the end?”

John ignored his question. “Your greatest wish is about to be fulfilled because I’ve gained the ability to defy the universe as you put it.”

O’Malley placed his trembling hand over his gaping mouth. His straight posture in the chair slumped down into a more relaxed position and he began laughing.

After a few minutes, O’Malley even asked him to repeat the good news, which John did.

John waited for O’Malley to collect himself before he continued, “How are we going to do this? You said there’s plenty of transcendents who want to die, so are you going to wake them all up and ask who wants to die?”

“Yes,” O’Malley replied. “I already know who wants to die, but they told me that millions or billions of years ago when there was no way we could die. Now that there’s an actual option to die, some might change their minds and want to live while others might still not want to.”

John nodded his head. “Fine. But before you go wake them up, I’ve got two more questions I’ve thought of.

“I’ve always wondered why men’s hair went straight and women’s hair went curly when they reached the purified realm or Silver Grade. Care to explain?”

“Because of the brain,” O’Malley replied, pointing at his head. “Men and women have different brain structures, and the cultivation path is enhancing everything about the brain which affects things like emotions, how we think, our IQ, and more.

“So, because men and women’s brain structures are slightly different, the cultivation effects are slightly different, too.”

John looked at Jamie and then at O’Malley. “How come your hair and eyes have reverted to how they were before you reached the Silver Grade? Or are your hair and eyes the same silver colour, but you have somehow altered them?”

O’Malley laughed. “After you’ve transcended, you’re no longer using the Silver Grade Life Power, so your hair and eyes will go back to how they were after a few years of using Chaos Power.

“Now that I’ve answered your questions, I’m going to wake someone up. If you manage to kill him, I’ll wake up the rest.”

After speaking, O’Malley walked towards the entrance of the castle.

John walked over to a seat and sat down before he looked at Jamie. “I remember your clone telling me not to learn about transcending before reaching it because it’ll be more harmful than good. Now that we’ve both transcended, I still don’t know what the clone meant back then.”

Jamie smiled. “O’Malley made the clone back then and the clone said that under O’Malley’s orders, so you’ll need to ask him, but I think it’s got something to do with what O’Malley said when he explained what he had done.

“If he told you either the truth or a lie about how to transcend, then you
