"Mhfm." Lith's body jerked and he let out a groan.

Emilia was surprised to see Lith suddenly jerk like this. She carefully checked him to see if he wasn't hurt somewhere.

Emilia did feel a sudden Lightning energy fluctuation in Lith's body and wondered if something happened to him internally.

She placed her hand on his forehead to check if he was okay and after a bit of analysis, he was fine in her opinion.

"Did he wake up?" The deep voice of the shadow resonated in the hall as he asked Emilia that.

Emilia looked at him and shook her head.

"Tsk. What's taking so long? He better hurry up, I have things to do and need to leave."

Emilia continued to watch over Lith and ignored the shadow, who was blabbering who knows what on his throne.

[Welcome Host to the system. Select any option to continue.]

Lith's consciousness was now awake and he was in a lucid dream-like state.

In front of his eyes was a blue screen with white words on it and he also could hear a mechanical voice saying out loud the same things on the screen.

"System?" Lith wondered as he looked at the screen.

He tried to touch the screen with his hand and realised he could do it.

Just as he did…

[Opening system panel…]

Lith looked at the screen curiously and it appeared a lot like a computer.

Lith selected status and the screen in front of him changed and a lot of words immediately appeared on it, surprising him. There was also the mechanical voice reading it.

[Detected: Body under extreme stress. Host must do the following:

– Must make room for excess Yin energy.]

Looking at all those things surprised Lith greatly.

As he went through it, he could see how much he has progressed in elemental energies and noticing the 0.001% in Light, Lith felt slightly embarrassed.

If Emilia knew he sucked so bad at it, Lith couldn't imagine what would happen.

As he went further down the list, he became more and more surprised untill he finally became shock when he saw the problems in his body.

'This thing detected that I can't cultivate. Amazing.' He thought to himself.

The more he looked at the screen, the more it felt that this system was basically there acting as a progress tracker. Other than that, he didn't see much use of it.

'Or maybe this just feels like a progress tracker at first glance but has some usefulness in it? I mean… I did see a shop option though.'

Lith started fiddling around with the system as he thought of that to explore more of it, completely forgetting the place he was in.

A few minutes passed and noticing Lith had still not woken up, the shadow became really annoyed and got up from its throne to walk towards him.

Lith was lying on Emilia's lap and getting close to her, he asked,

"What's wrong with him? Why hasn't he woken up?"

Emilia looked at him and shrugged. She didn't know it herself.

The shadow clicked his tongue and said, "I for sure know he must've gotten lost in his reward. Tsk, that's what happens when a bumpkin comes across something remotely new."

He then grabbed Lith by his collar and forcefully took him away from Emilia, surprising her and also angering her.

But before Emilia could react or do anything, he slapped Lith and jolted him awake.

When Lith was awake, he let go of his collar and dropped him down on the ground.

Lith felt a sting on his cheeks but having a high tolerance to pain, this was nothing.

He looked at the shadow, only to see him making an annoyed smile.

"You sure took your time, brat." The shadow cursed.

Lith shrugged. "I was just curious."

"What use is being curious? It's not like you'll know anything about it without my explanation." The shadow said with a haughty expression.

Although he was acting a bit arrogant, that was the truth at the end of the day and Lith didn't feel annoyed by it. Instead, he asked the guy,

"So…?"

"What?" The shadow questioned.

"Aren't you going to explain?" Lith asked again.

"Ah… right." The shadow then sighed after knowing he had to give a big explanation.

'Seriously… what sort of idiots with little to no information fell in my hands today. Even the ones in the most backwards of place should know what it means to have a system.'

'Whatever… I'll quickly explain and leave, lest I get corrupted by their stupidity.'

The shadow then looked at Lith and Emilia and said,

"That thing you have right now, it's mine. It just randomly came to me one day when my main body was probably almost on the brink of death somewhere."

"And no. Before you bumpkins decide to get in such a near death state, it doesn't occur like that. How it actually comes to you is…"

The shadow began with his explanation and Lith and Emilia both listened intently.

So apparently when a world is on the brink of destruction, the world spirit in it would set up everything into a system and send it to the star master of the world, if there is any, and ensure their proper reincarnation.

Each world spirit have their own reasons to do such a thing and in case they don't prefer the star master, they would give it to the strongest person in their own world or to someone they see fit in their own world.

But, if someone doesn't see this fit as well, they would find the best candidate elsewhere. But there's a time constraint and there's also many such restrictions and reasons due to which it couldn't be given to any person.

One of the many restrictions was that it could only be given to a person who's on the verge of death.

Grand Lust Sovereign, for obvious reasons, was being hunted and was on the verge of death somewhere. The world spirit came to him and finding that the Sovereign apparently wouldn't die or reincarnate and having no choice left, decided to simply ask for help in return of partially healing him.

The sovereign was healed and the system asked him to find an inheritor for itself.

When asked why, the world spirit simply said that it had attachments to the people of that world and if possible, he wanted to see their reincarnations and meet them again.

The Grand Lust Sovereign didn't ask further about it and decided to do as asked by the system.

To find an inheritor wasn't easy and he also wasn't going to make things easy for people.

Getting a system was a big deal since one would have access to endless resources.

How was it endless? It was of course because of the world spirit.

There were a lot of worlds getting destroyed and a lot of systems coming into existence. Each system would have their world's world spirit's will inside it that, although wouldn't be alive, could communicate well with others and do a lot of things such as trade and what not.

For this sole reason, finding anything in a system wasn't difficult and it was also in high demand.

If the sovereign was a newbie cultivator, he would've never let go of such an opportunity but he was in the God realm and having a system wasn't something that mattered to him since he had basically everything he wanted or could get it from anywhere as well on his own.

But still, people would kill to have a system and due to this, if someone was found to have one, a lot of bloodshed would occur until it is fully extracted from that person.

The world spirit's were also smart and they wouldn't reveal the location of the other systems. Every communication was done with great precaution and the spirits would also limit themselves from doing trades, lest they get caught by some vile person.

Understanding this explanation made Lith and Emilia both have an endless amount of questions in their head.

After everything was explained, Lith couldn't help but ask the shadow, "What's a world spirit?"
