Chapter 526 Avatar (1/3)
"... just shifting my curse."
"Hmm?" Lilith appeared interested.
Lith explained further, "When I checked the inheritance, I found that I could shift the curse. Apparently…"
The Sovereign had given Lith some leeway. Although he couldn't escape the curse, he could still avoid it by shifting it.
Lith could only shift the curse onto something with his own spiritual mark. And this meant that he would need to either make a clone of himself or an avatar.
Making a clone wasn't viable for Lith since he didn't want two of him living in the same place. But making an avatar was better.
Lith had searched through the inheritance for a solution. Not only had he found a technique to make clones, but there was also an art for making avatars.
The art coupled with his system was a deadly combo.
Lith wouldn't be too stressed as he could manage the avatar properly with the system.
The avatar would share consciousness with Lith and would be made from a fragment split from his soul. It could also act independently and do its thing without needing Lith to pay attention.
The avatar would also be subservient to Lith, and there were no chances of betrayal.
How was Lith so sure about it? The Grand Lust Sovereign had written a personal note on the manual.
The Sovereign said in the note that he needed this technique because he faced trouble managing all the ladies he slept with. If he didn't give them proper attention, they would come at him like hungry sharks, and then he would suffer.
Plus, some freaky women wanted to have all their holes filled at once. To solve that problem, he found the best cloning and avatar-making art out there.
The clones would relieve some pressure from him as they could go as his substitute. With the help of the avatars, he could gangbang his freaky partners.
Lith was disgusted when he read the note. Still, as he checked the inheritance further, Lith found that he could shift the curse onto an avatar or a clone if he succeeded in splitting some part of his soul.
Lith was not as degenerate as the Grand Lust Sovereign, nor was he able to match his levels of depravity.
He would never use his clones and avatars on his own women. It was not only disgusting but also NTRing himself, which he would never do.
But the avatars were really beneficial.
An avatar could have its own perception and thoughts and was, in a true sense, an independent existence.
Lith did not trust the Sovereign fully. He was skeptical about the dual cultivation arts in the inheritance. Thus, he decided to test the dual cultivation art using his Avatars.
The avatar could help Lith find the best possible art for himself. He can then use them for cultivating with his wives. It could also be used to give green hats to people and grow stronger in the process.
Plus, the avatar would share consciousness with Lith and whatever it would experience would become Lith's experience as well.
The avatar was fundamentally Lith but in another form. It would be an independent existence that was difficult to describe.
In any case, Lith could control the avatar if needed. He could feel and experience everything the avatar was feeling and doing. He could also take control of its consciousness at any moment to do some things that he could not do in his main body.
Lith could have a set number of avatars, and it wouldn't take a toll on him.
According to the note left by the Grand Lust Sovereign, the system could help manage the avatars. It also said he could have one avatar for one type of elemental energy and whatnot.
Lith did not want to make multiple avatars for the time being. He only wanted to make one as it would help shift the curse and do things Lith didn't want to do — giving green hats to people.
Once the avatar was ready, it could verify the best dual cultivation manual among the thousands present in the Sovereign's inheritance and which would suit Lith the best.
After explaining these things to his mother, Lith waited for her response.
Lilith, who understood everything, said, "All those things are okay. But it is a risky process."
"What?" Lith was confused.
Lilith nodded. "Splitting your soul, sharing your consciousness, it isn't easy to put into practice. Sharing consciousness is still a bit easy but trying to split your soul could have adverse effects on you. If things go wrong even slightly, you might end up losing a good deal of your memories or perhaps even become brain-dead or crippled or might fall into a comatose state."
Lith was silent as he heard that. He didn't know that there were such risks involved. He started rethinking the entire process.
Lilith then continued, "Plus, making avatars and clones is banned in the world. If you're caught, the punishment is really severe."
"It is banned? Why?" Lith asked
"Because people used the avatars and clones to cause unnecessary chaos. So, everyone decided it would be best to ban the avatar and clone-making arts. The powers back then destroyed all the manuals related to avatars and clones, and now it is impossible to find a trace of those arts. "
"I see." Lith nodded.
He then started pondering what he must do and what he must not do.
Looking at her child be so confused and rethink his decisions, Lilith chuckled. "Although it's banned, it doesn't mean you can't use it."
She then walked close to him and hugged him from behind. She pinched his cheek and said, "You're my baby, my only son. Do whatever you want; Mama will always be there to support you."
Feeling so pampered, Lith thought, 'Why does it feel like I am a young master of some clan from those novels?'
But then he smiled and shook this thought aside. He turned to face his mother and said, "Well… I need to shift the curse. I also have the manuals with me, then why not give it a shot?"
Lilith nodded. "But do you have something that can help you split your soul properly? And is your soul even strong enough to withstand splitting?"
Lith shook his head. He didn't know, nor did he have any such art.
Lilith smiled. She hugged Lith tighter and touching her cheek with Lith's, she swayed side to side and said happily,
"No need to worry. Mama has all the things you need."
"Ah well… that's good, but why so clingy today, mom?"
"Don't know, I just felt like it. Why? I can't even hug my own baby?" Lilith smiled and asked, still swaying side to side with Lith.
"I mean, I didn't say no. Just curious." Lith said.
Lilith chuckled. "Anywho, let's get things started. First, we'll test how strong your soul is. If it's weak, we need to make it strong, and then you can try splitting it with the methods I give you."
"Alright." Lith nodded.
Lilith let go of Lith and clapped her hand once.
Soon, her personal maid arrived in the hall and asked, bowing, "How may I be of service, Madam?"
"Go get me…." Lilith gave some orders to her maid. The maid obeyed and left the room to bring the items to Lilith.
Once Lilith had everything she needed, she began testing Lith.
It didn't take long for her to see the strength of Lith's soul, and she was a bit astonished, knowing it was much stronger than she had expected.
Lilith nodded in amusement. "Good. Your soul doesn't need more work. You can start the avatar-making ritual now. Mama will oversee everything and also help you if needed."
"Alright. I'll start then." Saying so, Lith went back towards the magic circle.
He took his position near it and the ritual and was about to start the ritual to make his own avatar.
