Note: Please note that this is the very first Novel I started publishing on WebNovel platform. It is an entry for the contest with the theme of "An Overpowered Male Lead who had cultivated to the highest level and is looking for a new challenge."
-----
J B arrived in his apartment on the Viridian planet where the System had brought him in the previous timeline. Now it was time for J B to plan for the future. This time, there is no System. He had gotten rid of it, after he had become a Supreme Being, before travelling back in time.
But to decide what to do next, it was important to introspect as to what and how he would do things this time.
In his first life, he worked for a Gambling house and died working for them. He couldn't finish high school, grew distant from his childhood sweet heart and his first love. He then later had a girlfriend with whom he was a couple for four years, before breaking up.
She wanted to marry and he was adamant that he would marry only after becoming rich. This way he lost his 2nd love. His cousins and relatives mocked him. His school mates despised him. His parents led a poor and miserable life because of him. Basically, he was a complete failure in his first life.
However, things turned around in his second life when the System chose him as 'Host' and transported him to Viridian Planet. He cultivated and had an adventure of a lifetime. He had many lovers and even more flings and he was even called the 'Harem King'. But even that did not last long.
This was his 3rd chance. He wanted to do things properly this time.
He started thinking.
"Although I won the fight, the emperor had destroyed the Greater World. I was left alone. I could have created a different kind of world and could have used the souls to recreate my family, lovers and friends. But I do not want that. I have regrets. I made mistakes that I want to correct. I want to know if it would be better to do things differently.
Initially, everything was good. But when the system started giving me tasks it became weird. The system was controlling me. It started with the task of destroying any random sect.
As a result, I, someone who had always avoided killing, became a slave to the system, killing people for my Strength to increase. Then as time progressed, and I met stronger enemies, I kept killing many more so that I could gain more power.
When I destroyed several sects because of enmity with their cultivators, not all the disciples of those sects were guilty or involved. There would have been some neutral and good ones. But I ended up killing them all.
Also, my lovers and friends were taken hostage a few times. It happened in Western temple then again when my cousin was kidnapped by the Vampire Prince.
I was presumed dead twice and as a result more people suffered. I was away for 5 years without information and my family had to bear the brunt of my enemies.
I could have checked in on Emma, but I did not. As a result she was taken to Asgard forcefully. Although nothing happened to her, but what if Thor did something to her or coerced her?
That Horny bastard not only had a thing for Emma, he even toyed with other defenseless Valkyries. So this time, I won't kill Thor. I will turn into a woman or an impotent. That will be a fitting justice to him!
What about the suffering of Sakura? She suffered because I was presumed dead. She was loyal to the end and did not submit until I came back to save her. I won't spare those Indigo Bastards either. They subjugate people based on the so call Caste System. I will destroy their Caste System from the roots.
In the previous timeline, I had to do things I didn't want to, and I couldn't do things I wanted to. All because that bastard of a System which kept assigning me random tasks to earn Points. This time, I will live my own way.
I am glad to have gotten rid of it in the previous timeline. Now that the System has assimilated into me, I don't have to work based on its whims.
Also, if I think about it, I have to do things carefully. For example, if I eliminate an evil Warlord suddenly, there might be a civil war within his faction, which will result in civilian casualties.
Even if I clean them all up, a low level war lords will make trouble. Humans are greedy by nature; whether it is money, wealth or fame; they want it all for themselves.
If I kill all the demons, who says the Humans won't start fighting on their own? Human history is filled with violence and wars. I can also stop the 'Big Change' from happening, but then who knows which people's lives' will be affected in what way?
Also, in that case, I wouldn't be able to form those relationships easily. I mean there are the ripple effect and butterfly effect to consider!
And even if I could do that with my powers, would I really want to? Would that be fun? And what do I do when I stop the Big change? Wouldn't life be too boring?
Instead, if I challenge myself, and stand up to the Big change this time, then I would be able to visit places I haven't seen before! It will be fun. Plus I can ensure the safety of those close to me now. I can even take them with me.
Also, I remained low-key last time. It always created more problems that it solved. This time I will step into the limelight. Was it really me or was I being controlled by the system? I mean, I was controlled by system in the name of tasks, but could it be that even my personality was affected?
In conclusion, what I have to do now is to erase my regrets of the past, have fun and see if I can find better solutions. I will do what I want, and won't do what I don't want to do. This time, I am J B, the Supreme Being!
Unbeknownst to J B, his presence is what led to the Seed of the Greater World calling for the Council of the Gods a few days later.
