A/N: lmao, sorry about all the spelling errors in the last chapter.

Recently, whenever Sora sped over to Ryozanpaku, he would always be attracted to an inconspicuous bookstore. He wasn't too sure what it was that kept attracting him over there, but he would always ignore it.

However, today he didn't ignore it.

Ever since he had attained a stronger body, mind, Ki, Qi, and senses, Sora became more attracted to the bookstore. It was as if an invisible and familiar force was trying to help him out.

"Takeo's Bookstore… 'Saving ALL types of books since the 19th century.'..." Sora read out loud.

He pushed open the door and entered only to find much dust everywhere. He looked around and looked at all the books lying in piles on the floor. There were no bookshelves nor shelves to place the books, they were all just Sora as pillars of books.

This was a small library of 15 feet by 10 feet, but Sora sensed that the bottom of the library was twice as big with a couple of more floors at the bottom littered with even more books.

Sora no longer paid attention to the old man after his eyes caught onto a book that had 'Dragon Ball' written on it in bold letters. With curiosity, Sora picked up the book and opened it.

As Sora read through it, he realized that this was the original timeline of Goku's world.

"Don't tell me…" Sora quickly looked at a couple other books. He quickly found Bleach, DxD, and some Chinese novels as well like Against The Gods and Tales of Demons and Gods.

With shock written on his face, Sora began to wonder if that mysterious force wanted him to read up on all these books and know about other worlds that could possibly help him grow stronger.

Quickly grabbing all the books, Sora quickly chucked them all into his storage. Book after book, Sora put every single one into his storage.

Fairy Tail…

One Piece…

Hunter X Hunter…

Highschool of the Dead…

Attack on Titan…

Black Clover…

Castle of Black Iron…

Super Gene…

…

…

…

And the list went on and on.

Sora felt glad that the mysterious force led him here. He felt as if he got a really good haul, being able to read up in advance about the works he will be visiting in the future. It was a great ability.

Even if he could survive in the future worlds without this knowledge, it was always good to know all these advantages. Items, unique artifacts, cultivation techniques, special consumables… they were all precious!

And even if Sora is no longer affected by karma, destiny, or fate, his family and children aren't the same as him.

If he incurs the wrath of the Heavens and brings down upon himself a great karma, it would all be given to his family instead and they will all face great danger.

'This Soul Land should be the next world since it's about spirits. Seeing how Sonzai had become my spirit, I should try to strengthen him since I might need him in the future,' thought Sora as he remembered the Spirit Mark he gained in the last world when Sonzai became stronger due to his spiritual energy that enhanced and nourished him.

If there are no mishaps, Sora would likely be heading to Soul Land, the world where he can grow stronger alongside his spirit, Sonzai. There's even the chance that Sora gets another spirit since Sonzai isn't his original spirit.

"I should go to Ryozanpaku now," muttered Sora as he left a large amount of money for the old man. Enough to let him live five for a hundred years.

Sora even fed the old man a Longevity Fruit, a fruit that adds 25 years to the consumer's lifespan.

After feeding the old man the Longevity Fruit, the old man appeared more lively and energetic, enough to let him live happily for the rest of his life.

With that out of the way, Sora left the bookstore and headed over to Ryozanpaku.

At Ryozanpaku, everyone was still gone besides Miu, and Shigure who occasionally returns to continue blacksmithing.

Hayato had only just come back from wherever he went with his internal organs damaged. He sat beneath the tree watching his granddaughter training beside the pond.

"Grand Master Hayato," said Sora in greeting. "Grand Master Miu."

Sora's eyes showed a bit of astonishment seeing the amount of strength Miu had gained since the last time he had come over to meet her.

"Sora!" yelled Miu happily. However she began pouting the minute she hugged Sora, "Don't call me Grand Master… just call me Miu.

Miu blushed a little as she said this and her grandfather Hayato stood up in shock seeing his granddaughter's intimate actions.

"M-Miu! Wa-want to give your grandfather a hug?"

"I'm okay. I'll stay here with Sora," said Miu.

"Miu…" Hayato sounded defeated as he looked at his granddaughter. He straightened his back and regained his composure before looking at Sora with a small smile on his face.

"You must have finally come to learn about the Grand Master realm," said Hayato as he stroked his beard.

"Yes. I finally reached the apex of the Grand Master realm," said Sora as he thought about his Heavenly Body Ki Realm and the Great Perfection of his Breathing Technique that bestows him with pure Qi from the universe.

Even his body that is filled with tremendous strength thanks to the Nirvanic Taichi Art.

"Haha, then let me tell you," chuckled Hayato as he led Sora into the sparring room. "Miu, go and get some snacks for us."

"Okay grandfather!"

"Now, where should I begin…"

What Sora heard next had greatly shocked him.

Sora was introduced to a cultivation system, a powerful one at that. One that will allow him to grow millions times stronger than before.

Eight Hidden Gates to Godhood.

The way one begins cultivating their Eight Hidden Gates is to meditate and polish the Gates to clear them and open them up.

According to Hayato, there have been rumors and legends about people that had a larger strength than the others even when in the same realm. Two rumors circulated within the hidden martial world about this…

The first one was to make the Hidden Gates into a higher quality.

"From bricks to metals!"

The second one was to inscribe onto the Hidden Gates and increase their profound divinity. Leaving runes, glyphs, celestial markings, or even ancient characters onto the Hidden Gates.

However, many refused to do this since any small mistake would cost the cultivator his life or his cultivation.

The order in which the Gates should be opened is:

Gate of Healing

Gate of Limit

Gate of Wonder

Gate of Pain

Gate of Opening

Gate of View

Gate of Life

Gate of Death

Besides polishing the Hidden Gates to open them, there is one crucial step that must be done before opening the next Hidden gate.

Building the bridge.

A bridge must be built from one gate to the other. The bridge is for stabilizing and strengthening the recently opened gate.

A Path bonds the Gates together and lets them harmonize and better bring out their strength. The bridge must be made from one's own personal energy.

Once all that is complete, a bridge must be made from the Gate of Death to the Gate of Healing, forming a loop.

When the loop is complete, the strength will surge and the amount of energy and strength that can be drawn from the Gates becomes stronger and nearly infinite as they cycle forever through every gate.

That final bridge that needs to be built becomes the hardest to build with all the energies from the Gates trying to pass over it.

When the final bridge is complete, the Demigod Realm is attained.

"Demigod?"

"Yes, Demigod." Hayato stroked his beard and looked up at the sky with a thoughtful look on his face. "All the way from the Gate of Healing to the Gate of Death, the only ability you can get is to breathe underwater. When the Demigod Realm is reached, one gains the ability to fly."

"Is there anything after the Demigod Realm?" asked Sora with furrowed eyebrows.

"Yes," muttered Hayato. "God. In this realm, you attain many mysterious powers and your strength soars to the point where you can flatten mountains as easy as breathing."

"How do you enter the God Realm?" Sora rubbed his chin in thought and wondered what could possibly be the requirement to becoming a God.

"Wait for the Doors of Heaven to open up for you," said Hayato with a shake of his head.

"Wait? Are you sure there isn't any other requirement?" Sora frowned at the sound of waiting. Things weren't as simple as being put on the waiting list to become a God.

-Ah, yes! Here's your ticket and sit right over there, we'll be with you in 200 years, please be patient and wait for us to verify 307,625 other Peak Demigods.-

"Besides waiting, you can have an enlightenment. In the end, it's better to wait than to hope for an enlightenment," said Hayato sadly.

Having an enlightenment is as hard as winning the lottery. It's not easy coming by enlightenment, especially when you're looking for it.

However, having an enlightenment is easy for Sora. He has many consumables that can grant him enlightenment and he has Nature Qi which gives him a 70% to attain enlightenment.

"What comes after the Doors of Heaven open?" asked Sora with wine, since he had no worries about the door opening.

Hayato glanced at Sora, wondering what was going through the head of the young man.

"Don't be too ambitious, it will be bad for you in the future," warned Hayato. He looked at Sora for a few more seconds before coughing, "When the Doors of Heaven open, you have only one chance to choose a halo.

Each halo contains its own set of properties and strengths, so be mindful of what you choose.

Once a halo is held for more than five seconds, it enters your body and becomes yours."

Sora listened to what Hayato said with joy.

Halo?

Properties?

Entering body?

Strengths?!

The only thing Sora managed to hear was that he will be getting stronger with the halo. And if each halo has its own properties and strengths, then that means that there's one, or multiple, halos that are stronger than the rest.

Sora was sure that there must be halos for anything!

Alchemy.

Beast Tanning.

Becoming a beast.

Tyrant.

Death.

Primal Chaos!

"After you get the halo, it's not completely yours. You and the halo are merely in a partnership where the halo lets you borrow its powers while it explores the world with you.

You have to refine the halo and merge it with your Body, Mind, and Soul. Only then will it belong to you completely." Hayato glanced at Sora and smiled amiably, "Every single piece of halo absorbed grants to you amazing strength. When the last piece is refined and absorbed, you will be able to destroy a galaxy easily. Only then will you become a True God!"

Just then, Sora felt like a bomb went off in his mind as he quickly gathered many techniques and formed many new cultivation techniques to become stronger and attain a stronger power in the future.

His plan has been formed and now all that is left is to execute it.
