《Netheril’s Glory 》Chapter 3: Reincarnation.

"Even if hopeless, life still has to go on!"
Now this sentence made a lot of sense to Punk. Because, although he was being pulled toward the purple Universe, there was no such concept as distance in the Void. So, Punk didn't know when he would be swallowed up. It might be countless years later, or it could be in the next second. Also, there was no time in the Void; So, numerous years and one second also did not exist. Punk's perception of time was just an illusion.
The main problem was Punk could do absolutely nothing in this whole process. After all, he couldn't think of a way out of this predicament with his very limited mobility...
So Punk just gave up and started to study the "system" he evolved inside his soul.
As long as he closed his eyes and concentrated, the "system" would appear in his mind; it was a lilac translucent square interface. There were three options on the interface
"Information: Record : Analysis:"
The information was some basic information about Punk; for example, it was now displaying.
"Name: Punk"
"Gender: None"
"Status: Soul state."
"Race: Void Soul Life Form"
"Physique: None"
"Soul level: ordinary intelligent creature."
Some of this information was gathered through analysis, and some were known by Punk himself.
As the name implies, the analytical ability was the ability to combine information and perform an objective and systematic analysis of the target.
The recording ability was the ability to accurately record everything that was perceived.
Generally speaking, the system's ability was not that strong. At least it was not as strong as shown in those online novels, those super helpful golden fingers, and their magical abilities that could go against Heaven.
"Sure enough, it's just a byproduct of my soul's evolution. It is impossible to get what you want."
To be honest, Punk was somewhat disappointed in this system. But at least, it was better than nothing!
"Let's see how this system performs!"
Punk thought about this and issued the first command to the system-
"Analyze a way out of my current dilemma."
"Mission established: Analyzing the possibility of a successful escape from the grasp of the purple universe."

"Searching from stored memory."
"simulating feasible methods."
"Simulation completed: Method One - Wait for Death."
"Method Two - Waiting for Death"
"Method Three - Waiting for Death"
"The analysis is complete: Unless there is a miracle, the host can only wait for death!"
"wtf! You actually want your father to wait for death; then why the f**k? I will ask you to find a way out if I have to count on a miracle."
Punk was very gloomy at this moment; after passing through unfathomable mysteries, he got such a useless system! But what else can he do but just wait for his fate? When even his last hope "system" failed.
Although Punk was angry, he did not panic. Because there was no point in being anxious about something that was entirely out of his control."
"well…Let's just enjoy this "not-so-beautiful" beautiful scene while I'm still alive. Even if I'm not reconciled, it's useless to struggle anyway, And of course, I still have the legendary miracle that I can look forward to!"
Punk thought with bitterness in his heart.
But a miracle was such an incredible thing. When you have no hope for it at all, it happens to come.
….
There were many flaws in the purple Universe. Although those flaws were well concealed, but weaknesses always are weaknesses. The purple Universe tried to deliberately manipulate the "beings" coming from the Void to avoid these weak spots, but there was always a one-in-a-million chance something could go wrong. Of course, a small mistake was not that threatening to the huge Universe.
Also, many death traps were laid at these weak spots by the Purple Universe's will, so even if a foreign being entered, it couldn't pass through alive!
But again, there was that one-in-a-trillion chance that a "lucky someone" can evade these hastily set up death traps and successfully enter the Universe. And by a "miracle," Punk became that lucky 'one in a trillion.
It might seem like the one-in-a-trillion odd was too hard, But someone just had to be a little bit luckier than the countless other beings who were also being swallowed.
Even after all these, if an existence with a powerful life force entered, it would definitely be detected by the Universe. But Punk was too weak at this moment, so he safely entered the purple Universe without getting caught.

"This is……"
Punk was in a trance when he entered this brand new Universe. He felt like someone was screaming on top of their lungs from the distant horizon.
Because Punk was no longer in the Void, where his perception was being suppressed by the wind of assimilation, many indescribable and incomprehensible things flooded every inch of his mind. Just when Punk wanted to carefully sense these mysterious things, an ominous feeling suddenly surged from his heart.
"run…I must run away immediately… hide… hide… hide… mix in… mix in… I should mix in; otherwise, I will surely die."
This sense of crisis was very sudden, but Punk instinctively knew that a huge danger was coming. He didn't hesitate to trust his intuition, but? How should he avoid it?
"System!"
"Analysing…. the repulsive force of the Universe is taking effect. When the repulsive force reaches a certain threshold, the cosmic clean-up mechanism will be activated."
"Oh!.. "
"Although I could have also figured it out after carefully observing and analyzing everything,
But by no means, It would be this fast or as comprehensive as the system. So this system is somewhat useful after all."
Punk teased the system, which relieved a lot of his tension.
"System, figure out a countermeasure." "Analysis complete: Host is recommended to immediately "register" an identity from this Universe. One of the possible methods of such registration is to seize a body from a lifeform of this Universe. Note: the soul level of the seized person must be lower than that of the seizing person."
"Then let's find a suitable body as soon as possible." Punk could observe many spherical objects, which seemed like planets, So he chose one that was largest and nearest to him and rushed over.
Now Punk was still in a void soul state. So the plane barriers, which were only effective for blocking existences and things of their native Universes, were not adequate to stop him.
Punk was in a rush when he entered the huge Plane, because the sense of crisis was becoming stronger and stronger every second. So he didn't have time to lament over this Plane's weirdness, like the square sky or the round earth. He spread his mental proception as far as possible to search for a lifeform with a suitable body for his possession...
Although Punk was a little worried that this world might be without life. But just after few seconds, he perceived countless lifeforms; most of them had very poor aptitude, some of them had a weird lifestyle, and some were not even intelligent. Seeing this, Punk became a little anxious,
"Which one should I choose?"
"System prompt: A mysterious newborn lifeform is discovered, but because of a special force field, the system was unable to fully analyze it, but according to the analysis result, it is probably the most outstanding specimen for possession."
"I guess, bigger the risk, bigger the reward, let's just hope the system won't cheat me."
Thinking this, Punk burrowed towards an unremarkable green egg with a faint green light, that was well hidden in the jungle.
……
There was no suspense or a thrilling battle between souls; the young soul, which just born was neither wise nor powerful, and Punk easily crushed it and snathed its body.
Simultaneously, when Punk succeeded, the Universe's repulsive force also disappeared without a trace. Now, this new body was equivalent to Punk having an ID card. He has been recognized as a creature of this Universe, but from now on, he was also restricted by the laws of this Universe.
He couldn't use his soul's ability like mental perception anymore. And his perceptual power would be just a little bit better than those of the powerhouses at the same level.
Moreover, this kind of possession could only be done once; just like an "ID Card," you can't register two.
Not to mention that the Universe would discover everything if it found a soul without a body.
In this Universe, there are Gods, and the souls that do not belong to any gods are thrown into the long river of time.
Punk knew all these because, In this Universe, a magical creature could instinctively learn some information. Such information was engraved in their bloodline. Because of it, Punk quickly learned a lot of information about his body and this world.
But when he was done checking all the information from the system, his heart immediately became a little uneasy.
"I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse; if it's a curse, then I can't avoid this, So let's hope my luck is good!"
