”Man! I love these Power Fantasy Isekai novels, its fun to be Superman in a Fantasy or Xianxia world. I would love to be Isekaied as Superman. ” Jing wished his deepest desire out loud.

BAM! WHOOSH!

”Ahhh! Who hit me in the back? That hurts dude! Where am I? ” Jing felt his vision cleared. He saw himself standing on dark water in a sea of dark smokey fog.

He saw he was not what he was but now he is tall & muscular. ”Holy shit! Did my wish come true the moment I said it out loud? ”

He saw himself in the Gigachads muscular body wearing a black superhero full body underwear onesie suit but no symbol on chest or anywhere. Also no cape or shoe.

The suit is matte dark, high neck, skin tight but felt like a rugged Armor with rugged patterns on it giving it a tough modern engineering texture.

As he gazed into the dark waters below, he saw his own reflection staring back at him. He saw a chiseled, square jawline, a clean-shaven face with golden irises for eyes, and golden hair styled into a wavey crew cut. Though he looked handsome, it exudes an Evil charm.

”Help! ” the desperate voice of an old lady called for help.

”Where am I? ” He wondered but ran towards the old ladys call for help. His speed created a tiny storm in the dark water when he noticed he can fly.

”I am Superman! ” He had a doubt but not anymore. He quickly spotted a tattered, worn wooden boat in the distance, gripped tightly in the tentacles of a demon that were both dark and bright.

An old lady was fighting the demon alone, wielding a staff as a weapon. The wooden boat was cracking and breaking apart under the tight grip of the demons tentacles, which were both dark and bright.

The old lady was hopelessly screaming and crying for help in this desolate, dark sea.

”How can I assist you? ” Jing flew over to the old lady and asked urgently. Upon seeing Jing, a large human with golden hair flying towards her, the old lady panicked. Her expressions conveyed her surprise at being offered help in this place.

He also noticed the relieved expression of the old lady seeing him offering help. The old lady was clad in a green rag with numerous holes and frayed edges.

He quickly grabbed a dark tentacle holding the boat tightly and felt a sharp cold entering his hand but posed no danger to him. He twisted the tentacle with ease, tearing him apart like wet paper.

The beast cried out in screeching agony releasing its grip on the boat splashing dark water everywhere. It dived in the water but didn leave.

Jing stayed floating in the air keeping an eye on the beast while holding the torn flesh in hand.

”You! You have the aura of Sister Earth. Who are you? ” The old lady asked gently while panting.

”Sister Earth? ” Jing contemplated the identity of this old lady.

”Yes, are you from the Elder Earth Continent? ” She asked hopefully.

Jing thought deeply, his sudden wish fulfilment in Superman and the old lady asking for the Elder Earth Continent. Does the earth used to be called Elder Earth or is this one of the versions of earth in the multiverse? He decided to not simplify or express the facts for now.

”Yes, I am from the Elder Earth Continent. ” He declared.

”Oh! Great Mother! You finally heard my prayers. ” She kowtowed towards a direction and thanked her great mother. ”Come, come! Sit with this old lady, what should I call you? ” She invited him affectionately.

Jing floated down to the boat and approached the old lady. ”Who are you and what are you doing here? ”

”Oh my old age! Where are my manners? I am Peach or rather Elder Peach Continent as called by my children. ” She humbly gave her introduction.

”You are a continent? ” Jings voice had a tinge of confusion.

”Yes, I am a continent or rather the soul of the continent. Do you not feel like a soul also? Because you are also a soul. ” She unveiled new facts for him.

”I am a soul now? ” He looked at him closely but saw no such indication or feeling of it. Maybe the movies had the wrong idea of being a soul. ”Then we are now in the afterlife? ” He speculated.

”No, you have ascended to the soul realm, this is the cosmic chaos sea of souls. ” She sat down on the wooden floor. ”I am currently lost in the sea but was going towards the Tree of Origin. The womb of creation. ” Her eyes were full of hope.

”And what was that black & white octopus? ” He pointed at the beast who was still stalking them with his black & white eyes.

”He is a yin-yang beast that lives in the murky turbid water of souls. We conscious souls are its meal. ” She looked at the beast like she was looking at a familiar person.

”I was once a yin-yang beast. ” She mumbled.

”Huh? ” Jing raised his eyebrow.

”We souls of continents are sad creatures, we devour our brother and sister to stay alive in this cruel sea all for our journey towards the origin. ” She snivelled silently. ”But, where do you come from? Where is Sister Earth? ” She asked with hope, lifting her mood up.

”I am not sure, I woke up and saw no one around me and then I heard your cry for help. ” Jing gave a brief explanation.

”You have her aura and a very old one which means what I fear, she is gone, gone to depths but gave everything to you. You are lucky, no one took advantage of you. ” She looked at him from top to bottom with affection. Suddenly she saw a small dark piece of flesh in his hand.

”How? How are you able to do it? ” She asked in a mumbling shaky voice filled with astonishment.

Jing looked at the dark tentacle flesh which was stuck to his hand because of its sucker glands. ”This? I just tore it. Why? ”

”Are you not feeling cold? ” She asked worryingly.

”Yes, its very cold but thats it, why? ” He asked again.

”That is pure yin, whoever touches it will turn into a frozen statue. ” She said while keeping the distance in fear of suddenly touching the dark flesh.

”What should I do with it? ” He asked.

”Its a very rare yin material, keep it. ” She instructed like an elder.

”Um…how? ” He looked around for some containers.

”Here. ” She offered him a silver ring, its surface intricately engraved with a vine pattern.

”Is this a spatial ring? ” He grabbed the ring with respect and asked like a nerd geeking out.

”Yes. ” She smiled seeing his excited face.

He focused on the ring and suddenly felt a link and information filled his thoughts showing various items inside the ring. He also understood how to operate the spatial ring and pulled a box out from the ring.

Elder Peach held the box and he put the flesh in it carefully and then pulled it inside the spatial ring.

”Now focus so that the ring can morph into the correct size for one of your fingers. ” She instructed.

However, Jing had other ideas. ”What if I don want to wear it as a ring? ” He asked mischievously.

”Don you want to wear it as a ring? ” She asked, confused. Then, she watched as the ring expanded and Jing placed it on his left wrist, where it fit perfectly.

He admired his new silver bracelet with intricate vine patterns and pulled out a long, grey, sleeveless robe from it. He donned the robe and cinched the cloth belt at his waist.

”You look handsome, child. Some of the gifts of my children are not useful to me, I am glad it was useful after all. ” She complimented Jing.

”Your children? ” Jing asked like where are they and why they left you alone here.

”We are in the soul realm, The Chaotic Soul Sea and my children are in the physical realm, The Divine Material plane. We are intimately connected and the items, this boat and that spatial bracelet we have are all given to me as offerings in prayer. I am a soul bound to this realm so its hard for my children to come to my help unless someone ascends and breaks the cycle of reincarnations. ” She gave a proper explanation.

Jing nodded, understanding the situation. He looked towards the beast who was still patrolling around the boat, not leaving.

”What to do with him? ” He asked.

”He or she is hungry, always hungry unless it builds his own living continent on the Divine Material plane. For that, it needs a seed of consciousness as a doorway to the Divine Material plane and we both are a succulent meal in its eyes. ” She felt pity.

Jing had an idea and slowly flew towards the beast. The old lady, Elder Peach, panicked and raised her hand to stop him, but then stopped herself, knowing that the beast posed no threat to him.
