Fusionism

"They had all stepped forward to be your maid and Butler." Standing before a group of Greater Saints who have been brought back to life, Fan Ye said with a smile to Ling Han who looked at the group of females and males.

Of course, the number of people Ling Han brought back to life had increased. all surrounding islands have had the former Saints brought back to life. at the same time, even in the Blue Flame Continent, we have wiped clean of Greater Saints who happened to die there and left their souls there.

Ling Han only needed a soul, if the person happened to die and their soul had yet to reincarnate, then Ling Han could still bring them back to life by summoning the soul back to the land of the living and giving it form. He can also turn time back, it's just that the further back the bigger the burden.

"Okay... You, and You." I said pointing at a female and a male. although I had brought them back to life, I didn't brainwash them or anything. instead, we made a deal, and while recovering through my energy they grew loyal to the Ling clan.

What I wanted for a maid and butler where simple. they have to be skilled in all types of stuff, from combat. information gathering, teachers, assassination, and so on. The woman I pointed out was a former leader of a sect within the upper region. She had grown from a commoner to a mighty figure, with millions of years worth of living, and she had collected a lot of skills.

She was from a small village, a teacher who thought she didn't have the talent for cultivation until a powerful expert saw her talent. But as a teacher, she knew many things as she taught many things to the younger generation. Even after becoming a powerful expert, she enjoyed teaching and learning new things. Along the to her peak, she had to learn many things. with every bottleneck she hit, she headed out to explore which led to her facing many troubles she had to learn to overcome the second time around.

the male was a former assassin, he was skilled in the art of killing and had learned many things to be able to blend in. he was pretty much a spy. He was betrayed by his organization when they saw he was growing too strong, which led to him escaping to the lower region at death's door. with rage and unwillingness to accept that the people whom he spent years working for just betrayed him, he set up an inheritance ground to find a worthy disciple to one day get revenge or at least make them regret it.

What was the upper region? The Blue Flame continent was a part of the lower region, the limit of cultivation for the lower region was the peak of the Saint realm. if one hoped to go beyond this realm, one had to head to the upper region. while there were a few dozen Continents like the Blue Flame Continent, with the Blue Flame Continent being the smallest, the Upper region only had 3 continents.

Ling Han had just been to one of the 3 continents a few hours ago to see its forbidden zone, that zone alone was far larger than the Blue Flame Continent. the whole continent was a few million or even more than a dozen million miles large, the size was too large that one might think it boundless.

"Really? Why them?" Fan Ye asked wanting to know why her son had so quickly pointed these two out. everyone else was also disappointed, as they wanted to stay by Ling Han. Just being near him would bring one huge benefits 

"Well, they are knowledge within many fields. So, if I need anything they would have the skills needed." I said to which Fan Ye nodded slightly. She nodded towards the two Ling Han had pointed out, their names had changed as they had joined the Ling Clan.

Ling Mei was the maid, and Ling Wang was the butler. As they were now my maid and butler, they would be at myside at all times. now, it was time to get my chef. for this, I picked 2 chefs who seemed to be friends they were the most skilled. I didn't care to know their names as I would rarely meet the two.

"Alright, if you are willing you can go to Blue Flame continent, your father has already taken over one of the kingdoms, but you can only stay in Thunder Kingdom. understood?" Fan Ye asked to which I nodded in understanding.

"Remember, if you take even one step outside the range I gave you, you will be grounded for life." Fan Ye said seriously, to which I nodded with an innocent look. with that, she nodded before walking off. I looked at Butler and Maid, she was going to use these two to keep an eye on my movement. 

"Okay, since we can go, let's go to Thunder Kingdom to collect its treasures," I said with a smile. So, a carriage was quickly ready for me. how could someone like me fly over on my own? The carriage was of course from my treasury, and the beast pulling the carriage was a lizard that carried the bloodline of dragons. with a breath from me, their dragon bloodline had grown stronger and they looked more dragon-like.

By the way, the treasures within my treasury are ever-improving, think of it as them cultivating over time. For one, a few days ago the treasures were only at the Heaven Grade. the heaven grade equaled the nascent soul realm, but now the treasure had evolved once more and were Divine grade treasures, this equal the Saint realm.

yes, for now, they were Mid Divine Grade but who had more riches than Ling Han right now? A Mid-Divine Grade carriage, it was a powerful treasure. it had the powerful defensive and had the power capability the shatter the void and escape. in the past, this carriage didn't have such a power, but as it grew Ling Han treasures might gain new abilities to make them worthy of their grade.

"Ling Han, where are you going?" A cry sounded behind me, and upon turning back I saw Fireheart running over. before I could say anything, Yuan Ming who had appeared before me picked me up and held me like a doll.

"I was going to Blue Flame continent. you should join me." I said calmly, At my words, the two of course would join. we all got into the carriage and everyone but Ling Han was caught off guard seeing a house inside.

The carriage was huge, it had a sky that reflected the sky outside. there were some trees and even a beautiful garden which led to a 3-story house. There was a fence around the house which marked the wall of the carriage. they opened the door of the carriage, which was connected to the fence entrance.

"Is this not overkill?" Yuan Ming asked to which I smiled slightly,

"This carriage is for long-distance travel. if you want to look outside, you can view the outside world through the windows inside the house." I said calmly as we all headed towards the inside of the house where they all sat down. the ride would be a few minutes long, along the way they all looked outside the windows to enjoy the view of the seemly endless sea,

"My lord, might I know what that is?" Ling Wong asked respectfully seeing me holding a paper which slowly began to have lines cover it. even paper in my treasury would become treasures within my eyes.

Ling Wong is currently driving the carriage, what was at myside was his doubleganger, a technique that split him in half, each half being the main body but 50% weaker. at the same time, if one of the clones dies, that clone's essence will return to Ling Wong

"This is a paper which can take what I picture and draw it upon it... this is the Blue Flame continent map," I said calmly, and as I spoke Ling Mei's eyebrow raised while looking at me, while she wasn't alone. everyone was looking at me as if they couldn't take me seriously,

'He is too adorable.' the same thought crossed everyone's minds, even the assassin thought the same thing. Ling Han ignored them and simply pointed towards a spot on the map.

"Over here, this is the location of the first treasure, a Greater Divine grade spear rest there, awaiting a new owner," I said with a faint smile, before going on to point out all of the opportunities there the Ling clan had yet to get their hands on. I marked them all from the one which had the most fate, to those which had the least.

Divine-grade weapons equaled the saint realm, but Greater Divine Grade weapons equaled the Greater Saint realm.

"How could there be Greater Divine grade weapons born from Thunder Kingdom?" Yuan Ming asked the question on everyone's mind. Thunder Kingdom had never birthed a Greater Saint, if the Greater Divine Grade weapon equaled the Greater Saint, and this weapon was born from this kingdom... well, that made no sense

"thats simple, an expert managed to enter the upper region with his spear. A spear he kept with him and grew alongside him before he returned home when he was at death's door. he left behind his inheritance while making sure it was hidden from the imperial royal family, so only those fated can find it." I said calmly before pointing out a few more places on the map.

"Each Kingdom had birth many geniuses who had managed to enter the upper region. Some never returned as they died, but many returned to support their homelands. the power who has had the most genius is from the empire, the inheritance there yet to be found is countless. but the ones I'm interested in are those that have treasures that have their birth originating from this island. So, let's hit them up. after collecting just 3 of them, I should be able to have gained the fate of the whole kingdom." I said with a smile, and with that Ling Wong had the carriage move towards the closest place on the map, which was the place with the Divine grade spear.

As the carriage landed we stepped out and flew into a forest, in the center of the forest was a deep hole in the ground that was linked to someone's holy world. we entered and went on to appear within a holy world that was reshaped to suit a trial ground.

"You have stumbled upon this place, you are fated to try and gain my inheritance. what you see in front of your are stairs. in the upper region, such trials are common, so I set up a similar trial. reach the top of the stairs and grab the spear, once done then you shall become the inheritor of the Lightning Spear Saint," a voice sounded from the world, as we all looked at the stairs in front of us. on top of the stairs rested a lightning-blue spear

"My lord, shall I go get it for you?" Ling Mei asked softly, to which I shook my head slightly while getting out of Yuan Ming's arms.

"I will go get it, or what's the point of going out?" I asked with a smile, so I walked to the stairs, and from the spear, a powerful pressure fell upon me. the pressure aimed for one willpower, not one body. unless you had a strong will, you would not get far.

with every step, the pressure would only grow. I removed my resistance to such things and went on to walk forward. I wanted to test my willpower, and as expected my willpower didn't shake. In my past life, I have been through hell and back. I went from a normal human to a person who had the blood of 40% of the demon population on my hands. I withstood attacks from the demon race which poisoned me with the most painful poison there was but with the rage for those who killed my family driving me, I pushed through it all and slaughtered all of the demons in my path... 

With a complex look, I took hold of the spear. the tool spirit which has been looking at me with a look of worship happily accepted me as its master. Letting out a deep breath to clear my thoughts, I smiled while looking at the spear... like that, I just gained 30% of Thunder Kingdom Spear's fate.

"Let's see how many treasures I can collect within the day," I said while taking a box that held a mini world. within this world, puppets for the past millions of years have been taking care of a garden that would be useful for the inheritor, now all of that was mine.

So, we traveled all over collecting treasures, it was super easy to do so. It took only a few hours for me to collect the complete fate of the whole kingdom, at which point I went to see my father. 

Currently, Ling Hang is going over his next plan. a part of him wanted to divide and conquer, but this could lead to some flaws he wouldn't like. what if the imperial royal family saw traces of their movement? although he was more than powerful enough to deal with the royal family, he knew they had support from the upper region, flaws might lead to unwanted trouble.

While he was busy looking at the map and going through the information Ling Han had given him, he felt something. a connection to his bloodline. He looked up and his senses quickly locked onto a carriage heading towards him. after a moment, a bright smile appeared on his face while he went to greet his son.

"Ling Han, there my baby boy." And so Ling Han went on to start regretting coming here as his father took him from Yuan Ming and began to baby him. My face went blank as I looked at him, how embarrassing was this?

"I came to see if you needed help?" I said calmly, Ling Fang hearing my words froze for a moment and went on to bring me and everyone else inside so he could explain, and hearing his trouble I spoke

"Can't you just use a clone technique to be in more than one place at the same time?" I asked to which Ling Fang shook his head

"Clone techniques are powerful, but they have their drawbacks. a clone would never be 100% as good as the main body." He said to which I thought for a moment before going through many books in my mind about this.

there was a realm where one could be in more than one place at the same time, at this realm just drawing them could lead to the picture coming to life and killing you for daring to draw them. but I wasn't looking for that and was looking for a clone technique, and there were many but the best one I found was called the 9 Lives Clone

"this one allows you to make 9 clones that are perfect copies of yourself, they and yourself would be linked in mind and body. if they grow stronger so do you and the other clone. but this slows down growth by 9 times." I said calmly, leaving my father stunned as he and the others had gained the technique within their minds.

"but the best thing about this is its power to fuse the clones and main body," Ling Fang said to which I nodded slightly. it was almost like nuclear fusion. the clones and the main body are slammed together and fused to birth a new and more powerful version of yourself that could be thousands of times stronger than before.

But to create these clones, the resources needed were not simple. one couldn't just create the clones using energy. this is because of just how perfect the clones were... but my energy allowed everyone here to bypass this requirement and create the 9 perfect clones... there should have been a limit of 9 clones, and they managed to create even more than 9.

"But you can't fuse with them, if you want to fuse with them you have to create the clones using resources," I said calmly as from my treasury, countless resources came falling out and floating to every one side.

"There is also no limit to how many times you can fuse with the clones thanks to my energy, but then again after each fusion, the quality of the treasure needed next time shall be countless times greater. so start fusing now before you're too strong." I said softly, I had secretly tried to make a clone, but I didn't dare as I felt like it would make my sickness grow worse.

"Shouldn't you also make the clone?" Ling Fang asked, with Ling Han growing stronger with each passing day, he should rush to fuse with his clones above everyone else.

"It's okay, I can wait," I said with a smile, not wanting him to know I was poisoned and sick. Waving goodbye, I got up and left him to do his thing while I returned home. I planned to go out once I was no longer ill. if my mother found out I was ill, well that would be bad as she might find out I stepped out.

So, we returned home where I went on to enter the tower of heaven. within there, I could fuse with countless of my clones. within the tower of heaven, I didn't need to worry about the poison acting up from my actions. So, I created the perfect clone.

{The host has created a clone... the host has been rewarded with [Supreme Clone Technique]

[Supreme Clone Technique]- This is the fusion of all clone-type techniques, from an endless number of clones of yourself, to creating the perfect copies of the target it's all possible. you can create a copy of your enemy and even make the copy stronger. you can make copies of yourself and even make the copy stronger. the stronger the clone created the more energy it would cost, all clones created are under your control unless you make a truly perfect copy of your enemy, leading to them attacking you.

the best use for this technique is the power to give the user of the [One True Supreme Cultivation art] the power to benefit from their creation. while those who can devour flames can't just devour their flames for benefits, you can eat your flame for benefit.

'Interesting... system, with this I create clones and fuse with them without limit?' I asked 

{indeed, no need for outside resources, just picture the type of clone you want to create and then fuse with them.} the system said as I went on to create countless clones, but as I was going to fuse with them, I realized that the more clones I fused with, the less effective the fusion would be.

for the technique I gave my father and the others 9 was the perfect amount, but for mine, 3 was the perfect amount. So, I went on to fuse with the 3 clones. I could feel as I and the clones fused. I didn't grow 3 times as strong, but instead 10 times as strong. the improvement was far less compared to others since I fused using my own creations.

{the host has fused for the first time... you have gained [Absolute Fusionism]

[Absolute Fusionism]- Users can fuse together objects, powers, emotions, concepts, living beings, or even themselves with something else, turning into a single unit. They can also combine their physical attributes, abilities, and powers together to form a new being that is stronger, faster, smarter, and more powerful than they were alone.

This has 3 levels, to level up you need to use this ability
