Lie Wei Ying felt like he had seen this situation before.
When he was reincarnated, he had no idea what the point of living was. His father in that life was slaughtered like a pig. His second life was also an extremely tragic one, and for a few lives after that when he wondered back and forth between the boundaries of death, he tried to make sense of the meaning behind existence.
Such a thing was extremely hard to comprehend for him. It was almost as hard as watching the explosion going towards the girls, and him realizing that perhaps it was pointless to get stronger without a reason. Even the girls weren't enough for him to breakthrough right now.
For instance, even if he grew stronger, there would always be someone above him. What was truly the point of breaking through at this moment? There had to be something else worth doing this for?
He had heard a few stories about why certain famous cultivators did things. Most of them wanted to change the way the heavens worked, and others wanted to stop eternal damnation for their loved ones. It was a valuable reason for growing powerful. They'd ascend the heavens through demanding work, and have a great time with their friends, who would die next to them on the battle field.
He was only four right now.
Young and restricted in his moral compass. Yet, he still had his memories.
Yet, what did he do? He recalled a thought from his last life. He was much older than, comparably, and during the tournament he realized how horribly detestable people could be. When he got strong, his plan was to wipe out anyone corrupt. If it wasn't for corruption, everyone around him would be much stronger, and the gods wouldn't be trying to tear him asunder every time he got stronger.
He tried to forget about the tribulations he had to endure. Even for the heavens, it was unnecessarily cruel, and if he didn't have the OP system, he would stand no chance at becoming a monogod.
However, he had heard of a monogod that once ascended to the heavens and battled every single god for the love of his life. They kept her soul sealed in a vault located in the center of the third realm. Yet, he was so powerful that he slaughtered everyone. However, what happened after he got the love of his life back? He became just as horrible as the god before him.
Lie Wei Ying was able to hear these tales from the souls around him when he died. Once in a while, there would be a line for rebirth, and he would become privy to all these unique details. For instance, the current tribulation committee hadn't allowed anyone truly talented to enter the 3rd realm's firmament in over 3000 eras! It was almost hard to believe.
Yet, Lie Wei Ying wasn't concerned about them. Truthfully, he understood the feelings of fear, and tried to put himself in their position. Of course, if he was them perhaps he would do the same thing. Yet, would he be like them? His dream was to stop their corruption, wasn't it?
However, he never had a way to do that before. His life was seriously like this situation. He was too weak to catch up to the flaming tragedy that occurred everyday in front of him.
Regardless, what should someone do in the face of adversity?
The most fulfilling thing would be the hardest thing. He would have to be that guy that stopped the gods from killing the talent of the universe! However, he was only able to do that by embracing how terrifyingly strong he could be.
With this system, the one still completing itself, he would be able to truly ascend into the pinnacle of the universe and slaughter those filthy men.
After that, he would become king, declare the world a place where talent could exist. Of course, he also wanted to have a lot of women in his life to make it something he could pass on.
However, the hardest part about this situation was that he couldn't reach the girls.
They were going to have to survive that attack by themselves. Just like he knew he'd have to face the gods alone.
Unless he happened to find the strongest friend in the universe, they would most likely die if he took them on his battle against this corruption.
Honestly, it was a tragedy being so strong.
For instance, the girls were most likely going to die.
…
"Uh hum!" The system said, "The new OP system is here, upgrade complete!"
He looked at S.O.P. who couldn't believe what was in front of him. O.P. was shining and had transformed into another version of himself.
He seemed a lot wiser now, and stronger. However, he immediately saw what Lie Wei Ying saw.
He had spent an entire day with his eyes closed to the outside world. So, it was sort of unbelievable for him when he realized Lie Wie Ying was in the middle of a boss battle.
Quickly, he dug into himself and checked out how many points he had, 35,000.
"S.O.P. quickly, find me something that can boost Lie Wei Ying's speed immediately."
S.O.P. nodded before two items showed up in his hand.
"There is this thing from another universe called a [temporary law pill of speed]. It will provide user with a massive boost. Then there is the [Sacred transformation tablet], it will make Lie Wei Ying transform in to the form he most desires. Usually, we wouldn't be able to buy it. However, today it seems like we can!
O.P. nodded his head. "It looks like the universe has acknowledged my breakthrough. I can tell things will be much cheaper right now!" He wanted to laugh with his characteristic evil laugh. Yet, S.O.P. was baffled.
"So, which one do you want me to offer him?"
O.P. nodded before a new expression showed up on his face. "If you think the second option is alright, I agree with you."
O.P. really didn't know what to pick, so for once he acknowledged S.O.P.'s brilliance. However, he still thought extraordinarily highly of himself.
S.O.P. looked at him proudly.
"You may now have the best system store in all the universe Supreme Ruler," S.O.P. said as he sent the message.
…..
"It is recommended by O.P. that you buy [the Sacred Transformation tablet]. Yes / No?"
Yes!
"Congratulations, the Sacred Transformation Tablet has been activated. You will now achieve a new form."
Lie Wei Ying smiled as he felt his body molding to his desires. His arm, once hard to flex, instantly stretched and expanded. His small body stretched to much that he looked like had become a man. From that little extra reach, he cast himself in front of the blast.
"Boom x 200,000"
The girls all were shocked as what seemed like a man's silhouette ended up right in front of them.
Lie Wei Ying looked back and smiled as his HP went down by -2,000,000.
His expanded silhouette excited the girls. It looked like he was finally a man!
