I am Shang,\" Alex repeated in a bored and practiced tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" the older man said. \"Even though you two have been split into two, you were still the same person before that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are instances where there are actually multiple people living in the same mind, body, and soul, but that was not the case for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whatever Shang was doing was also your doing. You can't just push all responsibility on Shang's shoulders.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex sighed once again. \"I get that, but itjust doesn't feel like it. After all, I couldn't imagine doing these things. That's not who I am.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not who you are, but it's partially who you were,\" the older man answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe it's easier to accept that you were Shang in the past when remembering that you are no longer connected to Shang in the present. After all, I fixed the incomplete parts of your Spirit. You are now fully your own person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex nodded again. \"Maybe,\" he said with uncertainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When can I leave?\" Alex asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I already told you,\" the older man said as he leaned forward in his chair, \"after you've finished your mandatory course for long-term happiness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Gravitas Mental Health Clinic has treated Sextillions of Immortals, Gods, and Heaven Breakers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We know what we are doing, and we know what kind of problems nearly all immortal beings go through.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The most common problem is setting power as your goal instead of as a means to an end.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In your case, it's revenge and regret. Your hatred for Shang is too strong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I believe taking your revenge would be in your best interest, but first, you have to achieve a mindset that will allow your mind to heal after revenge. If you don't have that, you will only feel empty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex sighed again. \"I get it. All of this is for my best.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The older man nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Bauer, how is the Archivist doing?\" Alex asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pretty well,\" the older man said with a chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He recently reached the Immortal King Realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Alex heard that, he had to sigh again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also wished that he could exit Aterium and enter an actually functional Cosmos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But first, he had to finish his therapy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Alex had received the Gravitas' business card from the shadow, he had followed the instructions on it and called someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometime later, Mr. Bauer appeared in Aterium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After talking for a bit, Mr. Bauer told Alex where he actually was and what Aterium was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned out that Aterium was a Cosmos, but an incomplete one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cosmoses were essentially huge balls of Mana, which was actually called Energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Energy was surrounded by a force called Balance, which had the ability to separate Energy from Entropy, which was actually called Death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unending force of Destruction was called Brutality, and the infinite Brutality outside the Cosmoses was called the Primal Chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Primal Chaos was endless, and only Heaven Breakers could survive in it without dying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on the density of Energy of Aterium, Alex was about five major Realms below a Heaven Breaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually, Cosmoses were connected to other Cosmoses, but due to a certain reason, Aterium wasn't connected to the other Cosmoses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex had thought that he would never find out why all of this had happened, but Mr. Bauer simply turned back time and looked at what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently, someone in the God Realm, which was the Realm Alex was currently in, had managed to learn quite a bit about Balance and Energy, and they had decided to create their own Cosmos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, their power was far too weak to actually create a fully functional Cosmos, and their will was destroyed by the Primal Chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had essentially created a completely isolated space with Energy but with no way of gathering more Energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually, Cosmoses pulled in Energy through the silver wall, which acted as a filter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that simply didn't work here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silver wall in Aterium was literally an almost impenetrable barrier, and it didn't have the ability to filter the Energy out of the Primal Chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This had created this weak and non-functional Cosmos, which had been randomly drifting in the Primal Chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one would have ever found Aterium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was if Alex's inner conflict hadn't summoned a Gate of Death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently, there was some kind of issue with Death, and Gates of Death appeared in front of \"worthy\" people in different Cosmoses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, apparently, that wouldn't even solve anything since the \"seat was already occupied\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was basicallyjust a dumb and useless instinct that destroyed worlds for no reason or goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone was dealing with the Gates of Death across all the Cosmoses, and Alex had seen that person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been the silver shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the Gate of Death, Alex would still be stuck in an eternity of hopelessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, after Mr. Bauer had looked at the creation of this peculiar Cosmos, he had simply integrated it into his own Cosmos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aterium was now part of a vastly bigger Cosmos that was trillions of times bigger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And best of all, the Energy in the Cosmos was increasing instead of decreasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aterium was integrated as a \"Higher World\" in this Cosmos, and the Energy in Aterium was multiplied manyfold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, many Gods appeared in the world, and when they did, they would ascend to the next world, where they could meet other Gods and become even stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The horrible finality of Aterium had ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, Mr. Bauer had also cut the connection between Alex and Aterium, making Alex a fully autonomous person again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after Alex finished his therapy, he would be allowed to start from the beginning again in one of Mr. Bauer's lower worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, he would finally have the opportunity to grow all the way into becoming a Heaven Breaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, Alex could search for Shang and take his revenge!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Mr. Bauer, Shang was still alive and on his way to a Cosmos, but it would still take about five million years until he arrived there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, Shang had apparently also found a way to become even stronger during his travels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex was happy when he heard that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Shang was still alive, Alex could kill him with his own hands!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't wait to start hisjourney to power again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, how did you feel when you knew that you were about to kill yourfriend, Jerald?\" Mr. Bauer asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex took a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But first, he had to finish his therapy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creator's Thought\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A couple hundred chapters ago, people went \"Man, I wonder how he will redeem him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, people went \"This Character is not getting redeemed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-Warmaisach\u003C\u002Fp>",1158,"2026-06-06T04:07:30.030Z",1,"novelbin.me","39b0c9498a3de7fcdb02fc35f3aa2bb1f0e0f61f981ef7aa90b5760738bd2129","sword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-chapter-695","sword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-chapter-830","https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-cover.jpg"]
