Cyrus began swimming towards one direction, since he was pretty much clueless about where was the land on this planet, all this time he only hunted in his hunting area, never once left to further discover the planet, after taking a full circle he changed his course and started a new circle around the planet until he saw land.
The land what he found was different from what he imagined to be, the things he first found were islands around a large land, the islands were like a ring around the colossal continent, as he was looking around on one of the islands, he found some strange markings on the ground but didn't care much about it so he let it be, soon he continued towards the continent, as he got closer he could sense a presence of a Stage 4 being, but it was weak and fragile compared to Cyrus, but as he was following that presence he bumped into an invisible wall, first he didn't know what it was, he decided to walk around it, well he couldn't enter the continent at all no matter what he tried, he was stopped by an invisible force.
System what's this?
[Analyzing...]
[Heavenly Essence Barrier]
[Hp 100 000 000/ 100 000 000]
[Hp regeneration 1 000 000 / day]
[Damage Reduction 99.9%]
[Elemental Essence Resistance 90%]
Damn that's strong how am I going inside?
[There should be a teleportation formation that leads inside]
Cyrus began going towards the islands where he saw the strange marks on the ground, after a little looking around he found them again but no matter how he was standing on it nothing happened.
How do I enter?
[Host it's possible that it has a strength restriction on it, I suggest host to use Blood Avatar]
Wait... I can make more of those?
[Yes Host, unlimited amount, but host can only use 1 body at a time because of low intelligence]
Put all my stat point on intelligence!
[Congratulation Host for gaining 10 000 Int: Host is now capable of multitasking +1 thing]
[Congratulation Host for gaining 20 000 Int: Host is now capable of multitasking +1 thing]
The moment Cyrus heard the system massage he used [Blood Avatar] and a miniature version of him self appeared made out of blood, the Blood Avatar was standing on the formation but nothing happened.
What now?
[Host should posses some weak Stage 1 creature, the 1% Host Stat perk makes the Avatar to strong to enter]
Cyrus decided to lay down nearby while his Blood Avatar searches for a Host, it didn't take long to find a stage 1 wolf like creature. The creature was half as strong as a new born larva with the help of Cyrus Avatar buffs, the wolf walked to the formation and it instantly activated, Cyrus vision blurred and he found himself in a Forest.
He started walking in one direction inside the Forest, soon the surroundings has changed and he saw a little town, inside town he saw humans but they were even weaker than him, as he was looking at them he couldn't even see hp bars they just existed somehow, as he walked closer the people in the town realized that wolf came out of the Forest.
Soldiers of the town tried to attack and kill the wolf but it was all in vain, they were ripped into pieces by Cyrus, than Cyrus started searching around the town to see if there were any strong being nearby, being disappointed that he couldn't find anyone he killed the rest of the villagers and began walking towards the place where he sensed the Stage 4 being, while the wolf walked towards his goal Cyrus didn't stopped doing experiments on the formation, with some luck he managed to send through a hand full of ordinary larva's, Cyrus used blood avatar on one of them but he was more like a passenger than the one who controls he gave up those completely to be able control the larva's personally.
The moment the larva's entered they were attacked and killed by a group of Stage 3 Humans inside the barrier, Cyrus plane to destroy the barrier has failed, but he was surprised to see that the humans had heavy casualties just from fighting the larva's even though they clearly became stage 3, but what surprised him even more is that he couldn't use the formation anymore.
System why doesn't it works?
[The Teleportation formations around the barrier are connected so they have energy to transport people inside but, it has limited energy and needs a long time to recharge]
How long?
[5 years for 20 slots]
Ugh..
Mine while Cyrus Wolf Avatar was steadily progressing towards the Stage 4 being, soon a city wall came in his sight, he saw a bunch of people going towards the city's wall, Cyrus decided to wait until his chance came to get in, he didn't had to wait for long, soon a long caravan of carriages appeared in his sight of view, soon he saw a carriage with only 2 people 1 was sitting in the front and was driving while the second was at the back and looking after the pile of straw, Cyrus sneakily went inside the carriage and swiftly killed the watcher in the back than ate the body, and hidden the remains in the pile of straws, he also jumped into the straws and started sleeping.
Back at Cyrus main body he was trying to figure out what skills should he give the larva's for the next time, he already summoned 20 larva's and restrained them from gaining essence that would make them stronger instead he was giving them useful skills that could inflict huge amount of damages.
Cyrus once again was paying attention for his wolf avatar since he could sense that the carriage stopped, he decided to try to sense the stage 4 being once more, he could feel that he was getting closer,but suddenly he felt some strange presence coming from nearby so he decided to check it out, he waited a few more hours until night came, he jumped out of the carriage, he was in a stable, after walking out he could see he was inside a castle, as he was searching around he found a way inside, the moment he got inside he could clearly detect where the stage 4 creature were, he found a way down to the basement, but just as he was about to confront the stage 4 being, something from behind knocked him out.
Even thought the body was unconscious, the blood avatar wasn't soo Cyrus was clear about everything that happened around him, but something that even he didn't expected happened, the person who knocked him out started to cut open the wolf body and the wolf was bleeding out into a big bowl, the person collected the wolf blood and Cyrus blood avatar in it than took it inside his room.
Cyrus was placed on the table between the 2 person, as he was sensing them 1 of them was the stage 3 from earlier and the other one was something like peak stage 3, but both of them were super weak compared to Anatar Stage 3 beings, as he was thinking he missed the start of the conversation but he started to listen.
"As I Said before we should gift this wolf blood to the 6th princess" Said an aged male voice.
"I'm against it, we are supporting the 5th princess, between the two of them she has more chances to get inside one of the Great Sects" Said a middle aged woman voice.
"I know that too, but it's better to get favors from the 6th princess while making sure she gets into a low ranked sect thanks to the wolf blood, and if we tell this to the 5th princess I'm sure she will reward us greatly" Said the aged man voice again.
"That does sounds like a brilliant idea, fine I agree to do it" Said the middle aged women.
"Thank you, miss Clara Thank you" Said the old man while constantly thanking the middle aged women.
The woman soon left, only the man was sitting next to the bowl, he was talking to him self - " I didn't expected that head maid Clara would agree to my proposal that easily, well what ever it's still my lucky day to find a wild wolf that just escaped from the prison"
Nothing more happened in the night, Cyrus was experimenting with his larva's all night, he gave them the ability to [burrow tunneling] and [Bone Spike] firing, he had to use a portion of his biomass to make them able to regenerate faster so they could use [Bone spike] multiple times.
The morning came and Cyrus was once again observing what happened inside the castle, the old man has sealed the top of the bowl and started to walk towards the living quarters of the princesses, soon he stopped by one of the doors and knocked, a voice was heard from inside saying - " Who is it?" Asked the child voice surprised.
" Princess It's me Head Butler Anthony, I came to deliver a present for the Princess. " Said the old man with a gentle but respectful tone.
"Come in" Said the voice from inside, Anthony slowly opened the door and stepped inside to the room, inside the room he saw the 6 years old princess Sophia who seemed to be rather hostile towards the butler but on her face nun of that could be seen, she respectfully invited him inside and both of them sit down by the table, the butler has put the sealed bowl on the table.
"What might be that present that Mr Anthony has came to deliver for me?" Asked the little princess curiously.
Anthony without beating around the bush told her - " Princess while I was doing my daily work, I came across a wild wolf, I knocked it out and taken its Blood Essence, I decided to gift it too 6th princess out of good will since I heard that you don't have a bloodline yet" Said the head butler arrogantly.
"Oh, Mr Anthony is truly well informed, I thank you for your gift" Said the little princess.
"It's my pleasure to help out the princess in the time of need" Said the head butler than respectfully bowed and walked out of the room, leaven the fuming princess and the amused Cyrus inside the room.
The little princess was so angry that she broke on of her toys, after which she sit down and just watched the sealed bowl, little later that day she unsealed the bowl and drank the wolf blood, soon a burning sensation took over her body and she passed out, Cyrus used [Mind Control] and took over her body.

For one strength I should have health no?!
[Host This is Human Status System, for example 1000 human strength equals 1 Host strength]
Oh.. Cyrus had no time further thinking about this since the connection between the avatar and the Host became perfect, a large number of human memories started flowing inside Cyrus head.
The flow of memories Cyrus learned the cultivation system of the Stage 1 also called Essence Disciple, it is separated into 10 ranks, and each rank is separated into 4 levels of Early,Middle,Top,Perfect as the memories came in the system has calculated the average stats of the human mortals by Cyrus personal experience and the Princess memories, it estimated that the average adult stats should be around 4-5.
