Gehald had to endure the excruciating pain for 4 days. The reason for the long period of torture is because of his body's high rate of regeneration. The pride of his body became his curse. His body tried to regenerate his lost flesh even to the very end, it prolonged his suffering. But he was finally done after 4 days. His soul looked exactly like him, except it was white and see-through. One could see a small orb within his soul, the small orb is the beacon for his personal dimension. The alcohol was still in effect so it took some effort to leave the vat and access his personal dimension, he removed a crystal flask from it. The bottle contained pure life essence. He opened the bottle and started drinking from it. His soul had long become physical so it could interact with the physical world, he could still fight in this form but his defense will be too weak. Even though his soul can eat physical things it cannot digest any type of food, only energy-based items can be assimilated by the soul. Life essence is such a type of item, it is useful to the body and as well as the soul.

His soul began to solidify quickly with the intake of life essence. He stopped drinking when his soul solidified enough for him to break a mountain with just his soul's physical strength. This strength is nothing compared to what his body could do but it indicated that his soul had become fully healed.

The second step was origin and soul fusion. This is usually the step taken by sovereigns to become origin gods, they would either go through tribulation or use origin essence. He wouldn't dare go through a tribulation right now without a body, he would undoubtedly fail and die. Since he had origin essence he could go ahead with his plan. This is the reason he participated in the trial of heaven.

He initiated the fusion by pulling on his origin core through his origin passage. This origin passage connects his soul to his origin core. Everyone is born with two origin passages. One from the body and one from the soul. This number increases when a person reaches transcendence, they will be able to sense their origin core and construct more passages to it. The path they will choose depends on their choice. They could either construct passages that connect the body to the Origin core or they could connect the soul and origin core with more passages. No one can do both, because the moment a new passage is connected to either the soul or body, the origin core will shift to either the soul or the body. Initially, the Origin core is in a neutral state, but once it connects to the body it becomes a physical object, if it connects to the soul it becomes a spiritual object. Either change will prevent it from connecting to another component of existence. The maximum passage that can be created is 10 for a total of 12.

Gehald pulled on his 9 passages and brought his soul closer and closer to his origin core. If he had a body this process would have taken years to achieve but it only took two months. It is thanks to a large number of passages and the high strength of his soul. When his origin core appeared within his soul he brought out the bead of origin essence. The surrounding origin energy became violent for the short time the bead was exposed. It was totally unlike the burst of calm vitality that life essence produced.

His soul began to fuse with his origin core as soon as he brought the bead of origin essence within his soul. The energy within the bead was attracted to the origin core so it pulled the soul along with it and entered the origin core. The law of origin contained within the bead made the soul fuse perfectly with the seed of power inside the origin core. a short amount of time because he was a soul without a body. If he had a body, the body would also need to be fused with the outer shell of the Origin core.

After 6 years he was halfway done with the fusion. During a normal fusion to break through to Origin god, it would ways result into an origin soul and an origin body, the connection between these two entities will become unbreakable. But right now he was only an origin soul without a body, he needed a body with perfect compatibility. The best body will be one that he would make by himself, he couldn't remake his body because he had already severed his connection to it. He brought out the core of a world beast to make a new body.

World beasts are a type of void beasts, they live within the chaotic void outside the realm tree. They have a small world inside them, their core which contains their soul resides within this small world. They are beasts proficient in space laws and are hunted for their core. Sovereigns can hunt them, but cannot stop most of the core from dissipating after their death. Only a very powerful origin god can keep the core from dissipating. The core contains the life marks and space law runes of the beast. It is used to study space laws and to build spatial artifacts. The core can also be used to create a body for possession, the higher its preservation the higher its value. The core he got is very valuable, he had to kill the owner of the core, because the core was fully preserved and the owner refused to sell it.
