"There you go. We have a corpse now," Ning stood upon his body to the side and walked over to his other body. He took out a white cloth and properly wrapped his body.

Famir was dumbfounded seeing Ning with different bodies. "Ho-How are you doing that? Are you not a human?" he asked.

"Um'¦ not really," Ning said. "I used to be one, but then I died and now I'm just an afterimage of my former self. A better, must wiser one perhaps, though."

"You'¦ are a ghost?" Famir asked. By this point, Zand had also returned with Mavenna by this point.

Ning thought for a moment. "Ghost huh? I've honestly never thought about it. Maybe I am. Maybe I am not. What I am is just a consciousness that can never die," Ning said.

"Never die?" Zand and Famir looked really surprised.

"Yes," Ning said. "Although you shouldn't be so jealous of me. With how good your talents are, you can surely live for hundreds of years as well."

"Maybe when I come back, you guys will still be alive," Ning said. The three got a little sentimental when they heard it.

"Anyway, let's go in. I need to leave soon," Ning said. He floated his body with telekinesis and walked in.

The seal opened around him as he carried the dead body in. The three also followed him inside and were teleported to the top of the mountain.

"That one is teleportation too, although not as simple as mine. This one disorients you a little. If you ever imagine teleporting, imagine the one I did," Ning said.

He tossed his dead body into the light and it was suddenly sprayed as a rain of blood on the other side. Thankfully, the kids couldn't see it.

Ning then took out the black sphere and swapped bodies. He took his original body inside his storage space and hovered in mid-air as the sphere.

The kids were surprised once more as to where he went to. "I'm right he," he spoke from the black sphere. The group of three was surprised to see him speak through a small piece of jewelry.

"Are you dead now?" Mavenna asked.

"No, I'm not. One thing you guys can count on is I never die. I can promise you that," Ning said.

"Alright guys, take care of yourself. Be sure to learn things and teach others. Help those that need it and be kind to them. I will leave now," Ning said.

"Wait senior!"

Ning was about to fly into the crater when Famir stopped him. "What is it?" he asked.

Famir looked a little expectant as he asked, "Before you leave, can you tell us your name? You never once told us what to call you by."

"Oh, have I never? No wonder you called me senior all that time," Ning said with a chuckle in his voice. "Either way, My name is Ning, Ning Ruogong. I hope to see you guys in a few years. Goodbye."

Without any hesitation, Ning flew into the crater, leaving the three of them behind.

"Goodbye," they said softly but Ning was already gone to be able to hear them.

"Ning'¦ Ning Ruogong. What a strange name," Famir said to himself.

*****

Ning was immediately blasted into the sky and fell down on the red snow on the other side. As expected, his body did not take a single bit of damage. All of it was impossible to destroy the black sphere.

'I should try to make my bones with this material,' he thought. They were really durable.

Now that he knew that the sphere had no trouble staying there, he jumped in once again. This time, he used the Super Flight ability immediately to counter the updraft in the crater.

He pushed through the Qi and Aether, and even then he was constantly being thrown out. He had both heat and kinetic energy ignorance skills toggled on, was a small sphere, and had flight skill. Even then, he was going upwards.

That was just how strong the maelstrom in the wormhole was. He immediately increased the speed rate at which he was flying. Surprisingly 200 meters per second was barely strong enough to fight against the current and stay where he was.

'I need to add more power if I want to move,' Ning thought and increased more energy. He pushed through the onslaught of Qi and Aether and flew down.

'I need more speed,' he thought and added more energy. He was now moving at around 800 meters per second. With this speed, he was making a fair amount of progress.

His energy was getting whittled down and Ning was started to get nervous that he couldn't make it in time at all.

'No, I can do it,' Ning thought and increased the speed once more. He was now at 1 kilometer per second and was using 1 million energy per second to hold on.

1000 meters per second was enough for him to move through the updraft, however, he wanted to do it fast. So, he doubled the energy again.

With 2 million energy per second, he pushed through the updraft with relative ease. He had to keep on pushing for nearly 3 full minutes.

In that time, he lost about 4 billion energy, but that was cheap for him to return back to planet Kumia.

'Alright, it should be coming up right about now,' Ning thought. Suddenly, the gravity increased and he was sped up. The gravity pool he had been riding towards was finally in effect.

Once the gravity showed up, it was easy. He just needed to let gravity take control of his body and pass through the wormhole.

He fell and fell and finally, he entered the wormhole.

The gravity flipped once more and he was starting to slow down. The momentum he had gathered was being reduced. Immediately, he used the Super Flight to fly as high as he could, and once he reached the highest location, he disappeared.

He appeared on the snow a kilometer away from the massive opening in the earth. Ning took a deep breath and looked around.

Then, he smiled.

"Yes! I made it back!"
