Yin-Yang Harmony System

Chapter 224

"How! Ow! Ow!"

"What's with this wound? Why isn't my Celestial Bloodline healing it?" Mike shouted with a depressed expression as he looked at the ceiling.

"Because your Celestial Bloodline is only at the first level. When you tried to forcefully open your sea of consciousness, the wound that received were not just physical wounds. Your soul was also wounded. Just who in their right mind opens their sea of consciousness without reaching Emperor Realm?" Elizabeth spoke with a helpless expression on her face.

"I didn't know anything about the sea of consciousness. I feel like I have to that place before. So, why is it different this time?" Mike asked with confusion on his face. He remembered entering the sea of consciousness a few times. It was nothing extraordinary. Except for the massive force and red flame, there was nothing more.

Elizabeth smacked her forehead and continued "Sea of consciousness is the probably most secured place in our body. Of course, it's not unbreakable since this makes possessing's someone's body in the soul form easier."

"Our soul, and our talent, everything resides within the sea of consciousness. Not completely, but the source of our soul and talent. That means if anyone enters other's sea of consciousness, they can easily destroy that person's soul and took control over it."

"That's why our brain uses the power of the soul and talent to form a barrier around the sea of consciousness. There are indeed some ways to enter the sea of consciousness without breaking the barrier but the most prominent way would be reaching the Emperor Realm."

"The other ways include controlling the brain and lowering the barrier, using a special soul power to escape between the barrier, and even forcefully destroying the barrier while protecting the person's soul and body."

"I gave the example based on the power level. If a weak person wants to possess you, he can use some tricks to control your brain and lower the barrier. If an average person wants to possess you, he will enhance his soul and add some pretty powerful abilities to the soul to make it possible to escape the barrier."

"Finally, a strong person will directly break your barrier while protecting your soul and the body. Since he doesn't want you to suffer heavily before he takes control over your body. A strong person won't bother using the cheap tricks and a weak person can't use the strength to destroy it."

"That's why we cultivate the soul. It is the most prominent way to improve the barrier. Your Anti-Mind Control Spell does work against the brain or soul control but what if that person destroys your soul and replaces it."

"Remember, the soul is the part of our body that can control the barrier. Because the brain is simply an organ with specific functions that it performs based on our desires. And, the soul is the part of our body that creates those desires. And it is also the part that holds all of our memories alongside the brain." Elizabeth explains.

"No wonder that woman tried to take control over my brain," Jenny muttered as she gained a lot of new information that she didn't know.

"Oh yeah! Jenny, you haven't told me anything about that experience of yours." Mike suddenly turned his head at Jenny while being laid on the bed. There were only a few people this time. Sharley, Layla, Sunny, Liora, Alice, and even Tori had left the house.

"Well, you have changed a lot. I think you can digest this information. Better than telling you anything, I should show you." Saying so, Jenny moved forward and placed two different projectors on the table. But, she did everything as she need to, her hands were shaking a little.

"Don't worry! He will understand you." Lauren suddenly caught her hand and reassured her. Although she said that, she was also very worried. After all, she didn't know how much Mike loves Scarlet. Neither had she known if he was emotionally ready.

At first, Mike was perplexed about the video but slowly after watching both of them, he understood everything. At the same time, the slaughter spirit burst out of him. He turned his head at Jenny and spoke "Jenny, come here!"

His tone was a little cold. Jenny couldn't help but feel chills on her spine. Her heart was beating so fast that it could burst any moment. Although she acts tough all the time, her heart was very scared of Mike's disappointment or anger.

"Lean closer!" As soon as she reached near him, he spoke once again with a cold tone. She did as he said while he lifts his right hand. Seeing his hand, she pressed her eyes closed. Her body started shaking. She feared that Mike would hit her but still couldn't disobey him.

But when she closed her eyes, she felt the hand behind her head and something attached to her lips. With the shock all over their head, she burst open her eyes. In front of her eyes, Mike was kissing her lips. He slowly leaves her lips and said "You did great."

"Mike!" As soon as she heard his words, she bursts into tears and embraced him. While resting her head at his chest, she started sobbing.

"Sniff! Sniff! I thought you would hit me and scold me. Sniff! Sniff! Do you know how scared I was? Sniff!"

"But, why?" Mike suddenly questioned her with a frowning tone. But, before she could reply, he continued "Why do you think I acted like an idiot for so long?"

"Acting???" At this moment, not just Elizabeth, Lauren, Jenny, Alena, and even Claire screamed.

"Of course! Do you expect me to be an idiot?" As he said that, he turned his head at Elizabeth and nods his head. Then he continued "You see, I am not the real Mike. Uhhh! That's not how I should put it. I grew up as a Mike and I am the real Mike but when Mike was born I died in another world and reincarnated in his body."

"It seems I did something bad. But actually, he attained peace. Because dying is better than living with a curse especially if you don't have any reasons to live. Mom has a reason to live. But, that child was innocent. That's why someone put him into reincarnation so that he can have a better life."

"Well, I hope he is having one. And, after I replaced him I grew up as a baby. Yeah, I technically was not a baby but I still lived like that. But, never in these years had I forgotten my dream."

"You see, there was the reason why I was chosen to be the God of Sex. Even in the modern world where strength doesn't matter much, I had the dream to create a harem of three thousand women. Well, it wasn't a foolish dream since I almost got proposals from more than three hundred while keeping them pending."

"But, there was a girl that didn't like my dream. She wanted to monopoly me. Well, it wasn't her fault since no women want to share her love. She used some tricks and made those girls took back their proposals."

"Because of the tricks she pulled, nobody could go against her. And, in the end, I ended up being her boyfriend. And, I also lost my virginity to her. This is exactly the reason why I lost my virginity at the age of twenty-one. I was holding back a lot."

"Even after everything I learned about her, I couldn't get angry at her. Can you scold your wife when she tries to piss off the girls that were trying to get in a relationship with you? I shouldn't say that I didn't get angry at her. I just couldn't hate her."

"But, in that world, I constantly felt was my dream worth my sacrifice. While my friends were breaking up and patching together, I was stuck in the state of having and not having a girlfriend. Now, I hate her."

Suddenly, he lifts his head and looked at Jenny's eyes, saying "And now, I also believe in my dream because I have you. Acting like an idiot is not a bad thing. You can actively accept the girl and also dump your work on girls."

"Just think if I had acted like a smartass, I had to deal with everything from money raising to guild management. If I was a smartass, I don't think I couldn't have the courage to say all that during the Tournament of Genius."

"If I was a genius, I would be planning as I did in my previous life. That resulted in what? A complete failure. That's why I didn't want to become a smartass. I acted like an idiot so that you girls won't force me to do things that I don't want to do."

"Just imagine Jenny calling me and saying 'I have enough of Family Management, you are the backbone of the family. Take care of it and I will take a break until then."

"I would be devastated. There's no way I could accept that. But, I did fear having sex at the beginning. After all, you don't expect me to overcome fear just because I have a new life. I freaking held back my sex life from age of 14 to the age of twenty-one. And, I freaking died during my first sex."

"Can you just imagine how devastated I was? Seven years, I held back for seven years and what I got. Death! That's it. I died and reincarnated into this body. That's my story and why I acted the way I did."
