Hengsheng stepped into his cultivation cave—that he never expected to return so soon. His expression was grim because he had made a huge mistake.
"Why did I become ? I should have retreated immediately after being exposed, but why did I choose to fight? this is because I want to satisfy my own excitement?" Hengsheng had a countless thought inside his head, trying to reflect more deeply.
He sat in the lotus position and observed himself using both his Divine Sense and [Heavenly Insight Mode] eyes.
It wasn't long before he detected a hint of unknown energy within his head—the same energy that had caused his hand to lose its sense of touch.
He did not know how and when it had appeared inside his head, but he quickly removed it using his Dao and Law power. The amount of unknown energy was so small—just one touch from the power of Fire Law was enough to completely destroy it.
Once the unknown energy was gone from his head, he began to regain his sense of self.
He began to reflect on how careless he had been: in the enemy camp, he had walked as if it were a park, completely losing himself and believing he was invincible.
His change began when he was struck by the battle axe with the strange aura during a counterattack. At first, the change was slight, but when two cultivators who seemed to be part of the leader's group the same as Axeman stepped into the battlefield, he became completely full of himself.
"Damn it! Stupid! Fuck!" he cursed, hitting himself hard in the face with the only hand he had left.
A while later, he calmed himself down from the anger and thought carefully.
The unknown energy seemed capable of taking away his senses—both physical, like a sense of touch, and spiritual, like a sense of danger—endangering his very survival.
If there is no sensation people will not know where the pain was.
"What a dangerous power. Fortunately, my primal survival instinct has not been stripped away."
"Mew.." Yunsu licked his hand as she tried to comfort him.
"Thank you, Yunsu without you I might be dead by now." Hengsheng rubs his beloved companion, this time if not for Yunsu with him he might have been ganged up by the enemy when he lost his left arm and died there.
When she heard his words of thanks her cat's eyes turned sharp as she had a sinister plan.
"Meoooow.. Meow?" Yunsu stood tall with her back legs, And she made a gesture with her front paws as if she were going to ask him for something, the smirk on her face showing that she thought she had the upper hand.
Hengsheng observes Yun who acts like a silly cat, he could not help but laugh.
"Meow!" Yunsu became impatient when she saw he did not take her words seriously.
"Alright, but we don't have time left, the enemy will be coming soon, and be ready when I call, understood?" Hengsheng reminded her that they didn’t have much time left to play.
"Mew" She answered, Then Hengsheng sent her into the System world, to enjoy her god-like life as a reward for her deed.
"Master, are you alright?" Blue asked as she saw everything, that happened in the real world through her primary system node, Unfortunately, she couldn't do anything to help him in the battle since the battle is not her specialty.
"Thank you, but I am fine this wound is nothing to me" He looked at his left shoulder below it now devoid of the entire arm, but at the cell level, his body slowly regrown his arm, even if it was slowly if he left it to recover naturally it would take him a year to completely full recover with his arm back.
This was an advantage of becoming a Metahuman, While his appearance looked like a human in truth, He was an entirely new species that evolved from a human—a human with extra race traits like the ability to naturally regrow the lost limbs.
But why does he need to wait that long since he has a better way to fix the problem faster?
"Oh that's right, Blue, could you help me create a new system?" He asks her.
He has an idea to create a new system that will help him in the upcoming battle, one that will make him dominate the battlefield against an army of The God Spawn.
"With pleasure master, but let me prepare the system creation panel for a minute, I have an idea about the new system feature, I want to integrate it into my system node"
"Alright take your time." While he waited for Blue to be ready, he once again thought back to the previous operation and tried to think about what he gained from this but soon he had to admit that he really failed, only the information about the God Spawn that held real value nothing more.
He decided to move past his failure and focus on preparing himself for the next obstacle he was about to face.
Which is the army of the God Spawn.
In fact, He did not have to fight these monsters since his only target was the Thunderclap Blade sect disciples and he already killed many of them with his Qi surge cannon while he fought with Axeman.
But Hengsheng remembered about the quest he had gotten by the random quest generation, this group of black-masked cultivators brought the entire army of God Spawn with them, it was impossible to be just a small conflict with this much determination to destroy the overlord.
"Something in-depth undercurrent is happening." If he did not mistake this event was planned not just happen because of fighting over the treasure inside the secret land.
His theory was, that if these black-masked cultivators succeed in whatever they aim to achieve the Calamity Qi will descend to the secret land, as the quest had mentioned.
"I will confirm my theory once I have enough AP to generate a new random Quest," he murmured.
"What are you talking about master?" Blue asks as she puzzles why her master acting weird like talking to himself.
"N—Nothing, I just had some thoughts. Forget about it—let's get to work!" Hengsheng felt embarrassed; he reminded himself that he had, a living system in his head, and talking to himself was a weird action in front of others.
He quickly opened the system creation panel and scrolled up and down to put a piece of function together to create a new system. Then, he noticed a new feature on the panel.
"Blue, what is this [Awakening consciousness] function?" He asks curious about a new feature.
"This function was used to turn the already created system into the system race…." She continued to explain the new feature to him and this was not the only one that had been added to the system creation panel.
There are more features that he has yet to notice, but Blue began to explain each of the features to him, Each new feature gives a deep into his creation.
He could even create a new system race through the system panel without going inside the system world.
Hengsheng nods as he is satisfied with the new convenient tools used to create a new system.
He continues his work, The new system he gonna create will be the one that focuses on the battle—one that specializes against The army of the God Spawn.
Hengsheng thought back to the Life Stealer system he had created when he first faced the God Spawn.
The result of that system was an awful disappointment; it wasn't weak, but the Life Stealer system was created when Hengsheng lacked sufficient knowledge and understanding of God Spawn's traits and abilities.
When he observed the army of God Spawn, he not only learned about their formidable army and potential danger but also, with [Heavenly Insight Mode], was able to see their essence and grasp their unique existence.
These monsters' existence was not entangled with the Laws or the Dao of the Heavenly Dao world at all; they existed under their own law—something that should be impossible, yet the evidence was right before his eyes.
To completely destroy them, he needed to damage their essence, which could only be affected by attacks infused with Law and Dao.
Normal physical or energy attacks only caused the God Spawn to pause, while their life essence remained completely intact; they would continue to regenerate even after all their cells were destroyed.
Now, he was ready to rebuild the Life Stealer system anew, with his newfound understanding, designing it to perfectly counter the existence of the God Spawn.
Moreover, He did not aim only to counter the God Spawn, but this new system will be his first system that solely focuses on increasing his power and does it in a way that ignores the Heavenly Dao law completely!
