System vs Rebirth

A few weeks ago.

Anna was sitting in front of Old Ru while the others had to remain outside for the sake of the conversation.

"So, why do you come back here?" Old Ru couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows. While he accepted Anna, he disliked the idea that she would come here again.

"I know that this is too much to ask. However, I still need to ask you about this…" Anna lowered her head. "Please allow me to borrow your grandson's power."

"Huh?" Old Ru's expression turned cold. If it were anyone else, he would have unleashed his killing intent. "Do you know what you are saying right now?"

Noel had promised not to bring his grandson back like what happened in his previous life. So, Old Ru couldn't help but want to reject it right away.

Fortunately, he was still the same calm Old Ru as the one they met a year ago. "At least give me a reason."

"I have another soul in my body. Or should I say… I have taken over this body due to my rebirth?"

"Rebirth…" Old Ru frowned. He seemed to notice something and fell into deep thought. After a moment, Old Ru turned his head to the door and called out loud, "Andreas!"

It didn't take too long for the young man to arrive in the room.

Instead of Anna, Old Ru was the one asking the question. "Andreas. Check her soul."

Andreas tilted his head in confusion, but he still complied with his grandfather's instruction. He came closer to Anna before closing his eyes.

A blue light started coming out of his thumb as he rubbed both eyes in a single horizontal motion.

When he raised his eyelids, his eyes were glowing as though they were enveloped in a blue-colored blaze. It was at this time that Andreas noticed something.

"I see two souls. One is hidden deeply while the other is currently possessing the body. It seems this soul is older than the other." Andreas furrowed his eyebrows, examining the souls.

"So, that's how it is." Old Ru pinched the bridge of his nose. "Even I, who have the time ability, have no way to know what will happen if someone traverses back in time. But when I think about your case, it's finally confirmed that time is only moving forward.

"In the previous life, Noel might have used the shell on you, but he failed in every attempt except for the last one. And that idea probably came from…" Old Ru glanced at Andreas.

When he thought about it, this could be the truth. Since Andreas accompanied Noel at that time, it was clear that Andreas would have realized the problem as to why the shell was unable to bring Anna back. So, the only choice was to separate her soul from the body, which resulted in Anna's current condition.

"Andreas. What do you think?" Old Ru asked.

"This is intriguing. From what I can see, the second soul has been suppressed naturally because the current consciousness is stronger. However, I'm thinking about another possibility. The current soul is the one strengthening the body, so what will happen if the other soul takes over? May I ask if you notice a kind of restriction when you take over the body? Or do you get a body that doesn't have a single bit of Spiritual Energy?"
