Chapter 1: Time Travel? Soul Mutation!

"I am Rog, and I am Rogris!" This was a black-robed young man with a cold expression, staying alone in this gloomy underground research laboratory, currently dazed and blank.

In a place called Blue Star, Rog clearly remembered being hit head-on by a large truck, making survival impossible, yet he unexpectedly transmigrated into this wondrous and bizarre world.

This was a material plane named Glais. That was right, although the original Rogris had always called this place the Glais Continent, Rog felt it was more appropriate to call it the Glais plane, because shortly after merging with the memories of Rogris, Rog had already discovered that this was a world he was very familiar with-Coiling Dragon!

And the Glais Continent should merely be like the Yulan Continent, just one of countless material planes.

The original owner was previously a necromancy mage whom everyone on the continent shouted to beat up, although he had not yet reached the point of being hunted down by the entire world. Ever since he was adopted by his master, Fide, he had lived an isolated life of dodging this and hiding from that. He had always followed his elderly master Fide, a grumpy little old man, to learn necromancy.

Fide was one of the inheritors of the Death Rule on the Glais Continent, and possibly the only person on the entire continent with a Death Rule inheritance. Before reaching the limit of his lifespan, Fide's level in necromancy still remained merely at the peak of Level 9, failing to break through to the saint level, and he pinned all his hopes on his disciple, Rogris.

Rogris was the little fellow with the most "pure" soul he had found in the slums. In Fide's view, the talent of Rogris had a great possibility of achieving the saint level, and in fact Rogris had not disappointed the hopes of his master, having cultivated to the level of a Level 9 Dual-Element Mage at not even twenty years old, and moreover having advanced to the saint level just not long ago.

However, the pity was that this breakthrough of Rogris was extremely risky, unexpectedly injuring his own soul to the extent that his soul began to undergo a bizarre transformation. How long this change lasted precisely, Rog had no way to judge, because during that period Rogris also lost his memories.

Yet in the view of Rog at this moment, that was in all probability a soul mutation, and the success probability of a soul mutation was certainly not one hundred percent; quite the contrary, over ninety-nine percent of people would fail in their mutation and thus have their souls completely perish. Those who could truly succeed in soul mutation could be said to be exceedingly few.

Without my consciousness arriving, this mutation would in all probability have been a failure. I actually scored a huge bargain this time, directly possessing dual super-grade talents plus the advantage of a soul mutation. Regarding the advantages of a soul mutation, Rog was naturally completely clear about them, and even the transcending protagonist of this universe was due to the reason of the earth, water, fire, and wind four-element mutation.

I have already undergone a soul mutation now, and furthermore I don't have the talent for these four elements, so trying to learn from Linley is impossible. Besides, his success even made Hongmeng feel incredible; it is almost impossible for replication to exist. Although feeling somewhat regretful, Rog did not care too much either.

Come to think of it, the talent of the original owner is truly extraordinary; discussing just this early-stage talent, it is probably even more formidable than Linley's. Rog remembered that Linley had already been in his twenties when he became a Saint-level Magus, and that was still because he had a peak-saint Dohring grandpa teaching him from childhood. Yet the master of the original owner was himself merely a peak Level 9 existence. Being able to break through to the saint level in his twenties was enough to prove his talent.

However, the pity was that the original owner was a pure ascetic, never having considered other matters. For instance, this lightning element magic-this was something he discovered after killing a Level 8 Great Mage and finding a magic inheritance, after which he tried cultivating it for a bit and then discovered his talent for lightning element magic.

Yet this Great Mage's lightning element magic inheritance was at most Level 9 magic, and as for records regarding lightning forbidden-spell magic, there were none recorded at all. It was under such circumstances that the original owner, through self-study,

also gradually caught up the level of his lightning element magic to that of his necromancy. It could be said that discussing just this early-stage cultivation talent, Rogris even surpassed Linley of the same age group. It was a pity his soul mutation failed to hold on by itself, and Rog inherited everything of his, including the affinity toward the Death Rule and the Lightning Law. As for that even harder-to-articulate "spiritual nature" used to fuse profound mysteries, how much Rog inherited was not very clear.

At least Rog could determine that relying on this top-tier talent, even without any fortuitous encounters, without experiencing any life-or-death battles, and just blindly undertaking ascetic cultivation, he could independently become a god in a relatively short period of time!

Although transcendence is rather difficult, eternal life in this world is truly easy. In the Coiling Dragon Universe world, reaching the saint level in a material plane could achieve eternal life. How this made those peerless emperors who pressured the universe in a certain plane feel?

Having just fused with this body, I still need to familiarize myself with how this magic is cast, including how to meditate, how to communicate with the Undead Realm, and so on. As a genius who became a saint at the young age of twenty-some years, Rog felt he still possessed a certain capital to travel across the continent.

Moreover, he himself still held the identity of a Lightning Element Mage, and could completely disguise himself as a Level 9 Lightning Great Mage. As long as he did not run into other saints, the probability of being discovered was very small. Rog was extremely curious about this magical world that supposedly had elves, orcs, magical beasts, and all sorts of strange creatures.

However, before this, I still need to enter the Undead Realm first to find a few "new partners" to act as thugs. As an Undead Saint Magus who could spawn troops, Rog was a walking natural disaster in the true sense of the word. If no other super experts stepped forward, relying on his means of summoning the undead legion, he could completely reach the level of destroying a country single-handedly.

With his mind immersed in the wondrous Undead Realm, Rog spent half a month's effort and reached contracts with a total of four saint-level undead, respectively a Saint-level Skeleton Mage, a Saint-level Black Knight, a Saint-level Ghost Archer, and finally a Saint-level Bone Dragon.

Dealing with these four saint-level undead creatures had cost Rog quite a bit of effort, but as long as these four were summoned together, even a peak-saint expert who had comprehended the laws would find it extremely tricky. It could be considered as having substantially enhanced Rog's survival capability and attack capability. As for Rog himself, his most handy skills at present were actually various curse magic and unique soul attack methods.

Although he had not yet perceived a trace of the Piyanping Rule at present, relying on the unique soul attack methods within the necromancy inheritance, even a peak-saint mage would drink hatred if they were not careful, and saint warriors could endure it even less. His weakness was mainly in the aspect of close combat.

Rog, who was familiar with the plot, certainly knew that even if one was a mage in the early stages, after becoming a deity later on, most people would still learn means in the aspect of close combat. At that time, powerurs had no distinction between mages and warriors.

Moreover, in terms of this Death Rule, the most major aspect actually involves matters concerning the soul. This undead summoning means is just something I'll temporarily use before becoming a god. A true practitioner of the Death Rule ultimately relied on their own soul research methods.

For instance, Soul Enslavement, Soul Separation, and so on. Summoning spells? They were just to be used before the divine level. After the divine level, apart from going to soul-enslave other deities, undead-level creatures did not exist within the Undead Realm, because once they became a god, these undead creatures recovered their past-life memories, equivalent to being reborn anew, and were no longer considered undead creatures.

Having four saint-level undead summoned babies, plus my soul attack means, is sufficient to walk the continent. Through communicating via memories, one could know that the area and population of the Glais Continent were definitely larger than the Yulan Continent, but the number of divine-level experts was not quite large.

The most famous ones were merely three, respectively the Pope of the Earth God Church, the Great Priest of the Orc Great Prairie, and the Elven Empress of the Forest of Elves.

In most places across the entire Glais Continent, saints possessed unusual status, and even opening up an empire by oneself was not a difficult matter. Because the three surface-level deities across the entire continent had no thoughts of vying for hegemony over the continent, the top experts active on the continent were precisely at this saint-level standard.

Although necromancy mages were shouted at to beat up by everyone because a "necromancer calamity" once occurred on the Glais Continent, as long as I don't actively expose myself, the problem is not all that big. The identity of a Level 9 Lightning Great Mage is also not low. The original Rogris could ignore all kinds of scenery in this realm, but Rog had his "spirit of adventure" somewhat unable to be held back anymore.

Especially the legendary dragons, orcs, elves, and dwarves-it seemed the Glais Continent did not have dwarves, but the higher planes and divine planes definitely had them, and he would see them sooner or later.

This first stop will be to go to the Eilex Empire; it can also be considered revisiting an old place. The Eilex Empire was located in the southern part of the continent, with a history of several thousand years since its founding. Moreover, in the memory of Rogris, this was the place where he was born, so Rog chose to treat this country as the first stop for wandering the otherworldly realm.
