1 Brax Azarov
"Those bastards... Fuck.
I haven't even lived that long, and I am already about to die. I couldn't even enjoy my own creations.
Those fucking radical bastards. I gave humanity time itself and those numbskulls had the great idea of killing me? Did they fucking lose their mind?
Fuck... I am fading. Shit! I still have so much to learn, so much to know. How can I just die like this?
This is what regret feels like, huh?"
These were his final thoughts as his consciousness faded away, and death embraced him.

[The great Brax Azarov was assassinated last night by an extremist group called "The Only Truth" who believed that Brax's knowledge came from the devil and that his contribution to humanity is a stain on God's creation.
They believed that by increasing the human lifespan, by finding and creating new elements, Brax was going against God and tainting his creation.
Mr. Azarov's body was found inside a cabin he owned in a remote location. Authorities started searching for him when his colleagues and friends noticed that he wasn't answering their calls and texts.
Soon authorities tracked his steps and found him dead along with a message left behind by the extremist group "The Only Truth".
The message read, "We have eliminated the devil's puppet. We have cleansed humanity. Surrender to god and god will forgive you for practicing the devil's ways"
Mr. Azarov's death has sparked outrage across the galaxy and multiple Stellar Leaders signed the extermination of the extremist group "The Only Truth"
As of now, almost all bases of the extremist factions have been destroyed and its members eliminated. There are still a few on the run but the authorities are closing up on them.]
News about Brax Azarov spread all across the galaxies and humans mourned his loss. He is the reason they have become a multi-galaxy civilization.
He will be missed.

"The Multiverse... Who would have thought that I would discover its existence in such a manner?"
These words came out of the mouth of an eighteen-year-old teenager who is in his bed, half-naked.
The boy has fair skin, big eyes, sharp facial features, strong jawline, and long black hair.
"I guessed the multiverse's existence in theory, but I could never figure out how to access it... Looks like dying is one way to do it," spoke the young man.
"I still feel as sharp as my previous self, meaning this body's brain is not bad. Or maybe my intelligence has nothing to do with my brain but my mind that has accompanied me into this body along with my soul."
"What an interesting question. I never gave it much thought previously... Soul, it sure does exist. As I am here, inside the body of a teenager from another universe. And also because I can confirm from the memories of this teenager, matter related to souls seems to be a common topic in this world"
"What an interesting world. You can cultivate immortality, not the cheap knockoff I made, but the real deal. Becoming an ever-living, unkillable existence.
When I become immortal, I will be able to indulge myself in the path of knowledge-seeking forever.
I know, that no matter how long I live, I will never stop learning because the day I learn everything, I will become God.
And I don't think the big guy, the one who controls it all, will ever allow another existence equal to it...
Hahaha... Hahahahaha.... Hahahahahahahaha"
The thought of having the ability to seek infinite knowledge across infinite time sends a chill down Brax's new body as he laughs like a madman before abruptly stopping.
"So this body's name is also Brax, very convenient.
I will not bother trying to find out how I got here because it is out of my league. Let's focus on what I can achieve right now."
Brax murmurs, gets off the bed and looks around. This place is a simple one-room house with a bed. There is a wall mirror hanging on the wall over a small table.
There is also a small section dedicated to cleaning. It's a very humble adobe to live in.
"This will do for now," Brax said, satisfied with his current living arrangement, and walked up to the table to pick up two books amongst others that were stacked on each other.
From the memories he has access to, he realizes that these books are his key to achieving immortality.
"Qi breathing technique, body enhancing technique," he murmured as he glanced at the two simple-looking books in front of him.
The Qi breathing technique is called the Silver strand breathing technique and the body cultivation method is called the Bronze Body Construction.
The Qi breathing technique is the main thing that he needs to focus on, as it will be the core practice that will help him progress in his cultivation.
He opened the Qi breathing technique and started reading it. He already knew about this breathing technique from his memories and knew how to practice it, but he still wanted to see if there was anything else he could learn from it.
Brax quickly flipped through all of its pages and memorized it word by word, along with the diagrams presented in it. It wasn't hard as he has photographic memory.
But after completing the book, a frown appeared on his face, "This won't do," Brax spoke as his memories confirmed that this is the most basic Qi breathing technique and the progress he would make by using it wouldn't be significant.
If he uses this Qi breathing technique, forget about achieving immortality. He won't even achieve the next realm of cultivation.
This world has a power system divided into stages and realms inside three dimensions
Each realm is divided into nine stages.
Under the "Mortal Dimension" falls these realms:
[Qi Condensing Realm
Foundation Establishing Realm
Core Creation Realm
Nascent Soul Realm
Soul Strengthening Realm]
Then comes the "Ascension Dimension" where a cultivator can finally tap into the laws of nature, surpassing the mortals.
The Realms that fall under this Dimension are:
[Ascension Realm
Law Master Realm
Law Grandmaster Realm
Dimension Master Realm
Dimension Grandmaster Realm]
After a cultivator reaches the pinnacle of the "Ascension Dimension, " there are only three more realms for them to conquer.
These realms fall under the "Immortal Dimension"
The realms are:
[Sage Realm
Grand Sage Realm
Immortal Realm]
_____________________
Knowing that there are 13 realms to conquer, Brax has no confidence in the Qi breathing technique he has in his hands right now.
With this basic technique and this body's average talent, well, at least what his memories tell him, he knows he needs something better. Something that will go with him to the very end.
