Sam was so excited that he couldn't calm down his heart. This was really have heaven defying luck. The statue is indeed amazing. It can cause war between sect and beasts if they know about it.
What was I doing hundred years ago? Oh yes I was going to complete a quest. System is the quest still valid.
[It is still valid.]
Then let's meet the rats.
Sam and Manasa walked(crawled) towards the rat burrow which was only three hundred meters away from Sam. The rats hadn't changed their location. They were still on same burrow.
Sam came in front of the burrow and roared. He also used Qi in his roar.
[Dragon roar learned.]
I learned a new skill.
All the rats came out from the burrow. The biggest rat among them came in front of Sam and bowed.
It stayed like that for some time. Sam was staring it with confused look. Did void dragon gave him his dragon aura back.
[They had felt your aura when your soul seal was broken. They also felt your dragon aura. Mythical beast aren't only stronger beast, they are also their protector and representatives. The mythical beasts represent whole beast like scaled beasts have more respect towards dragon than phoenix. So, they haven't forget your aura because they were near you.]
[Quest completed.
Rating: Outstanding (SS)
Reward: Increase your cultivation to middle stage of rank 2]
Quest is completed just like that. I didn't even moved a finger.
Then should I make them into my subordinates.
[You should think more about your pride which you used to feel hundred years ago. Does any dragon want to make rats at rank 1 their subordinates. Besides, you can only make few subordinate. System in itself shouldn't exist which gives power just by completing task given by it. It is also giving Manasa few opportunities and benefits than other beasts. Universe is equal, so universe has to give system to every being if you make every creature you rule have benefits of system. Every universe chooses a path and our universe has chosen the path of cultivation. In few words, you can't.]
Yeah, that makes sense. System could you not tell me anything and tell authority level not required. Then I will find about it in future. This way it will give more protagonist like vibe.
System was speechless. Who was that kept saying system is useless.
Sam looked towards the leader mouse "You can get up." The leader rat immediately stood up.
Sam was now in confusion what was he supposed to do now. System what should I do now.
[Nothing, let them live their daily. You should only protect them if any beasts outside your area tries to harm them. The ruler duty is to protest his citizens. In case of beast it is to guard your territory and not to let new beast enter your territory without your permission.]
I get that much. I am asking shouldn't I do more for them like humans do. Maybe like establishing more secure place like making a wall around their burrow or something like that.
[You are thinking too much. It isn't that beast don't have their kingdoms but you are beast you have to act like beast. It is too early for rats to enjoy facilities. They are like primitive human. If someone had given place to stay for them and give food for free, would humans had developed to modern humans. Just go with the flow and act how a beast will.]
OK. Sam could only act like a beast.
"Do what you do daily" Sam left keeping the confused rats standing. Sam went towards the statue and sat near it. Sitting near the statue was very peaceful. Sigh, life is really hard. I can't think of any path which I can choose. Should I stay like this or hunt beasts for experience which is exact opposite of my values and norms.
Manasa was also confused. What was making Sam think so much. He his very powerful. She knows more than anyone if Same wants all the beast can only fall under his feet. Anyway, master's roar was so cool.
System which path should I choose. Do I even have path. After comprehending Dao of harmony, I feel that killing innocent is the greatest sin. The cultivation world is chaotic. No one has clean hand in cultivation world. All of them are killers and murderers. They make themselves righteous but even kill their own for simple treasures.
System what should I do now. He couldn't take any path for himself. If he was a human, he could join a sect and do things as it goes.
[You have two path in front of you if you don't want to go against your principles.
First is to cultivate here peacefully without caring for outside.
Second is to become king of jungle and rule other beasts.]
Yeah, I have these two paths but I find a fault in the first path. System didn't void dragon overlord said that I am going to participate in inter universe competition.
It must have fixed time right. When exactly will it start.
[It will start after every participant will enter into god realm.]
Seriously, isn't it saying indirectly that if you are lazy, untalented person then just die by drowning in spoonful of water.
Wait a minute. When did this competition started. Did all of got system in same time.
[Yes, everyone except you got at the same time.]
Why did I got system late?
[You got late because when you were supposed to die, you didn't died but instead died with that girl resulting in getting dragged together with her and reincarnated as a human. The system was prepared to make it's host dragon. So, creator was waiting for new talent or to forcefully make you into dragon.]
Seriously, this much twist. My life is more and more becoming like those dramas and TV serials.
Sigh, I can only become god as soon as possible. My abnormal luck is justified then. I do have to fight against the time.( He literally has to in the end of novel.)
I will choose both path then. Haha, my life is going to be a legendary one. The life of emperor. I am going to be king of the world.
Jokes aside my life is going to be life full of wars and struggles.
I should start immediately then. System is there any cultivation manual of dragon clan.
[Dragon clan indeed has cultivation manual but it will not work for you because it starts from rank 5 you are in rank 2 now.]
Seriously, is there no cultivation manual for me. Don't other beasts have cultivation manual.
[They indeed have but you have to be in rank 3 in minimum. Beasts gain intelligence equal to infant in rank 3 and intelligence equal to adult human in rank 4.]
Sigh, I can only consume other beasts meat to cultivate then until I reach rank 3.
Let's start preparation. First increase my cultivation.
Qi from the atmosphere began to sweep into the body of Sam. All the Qi were attracted towards his beasts core. The Qi in his beasts core increased in concentration. When the concentration of Qi became certain amount it started to travel in the Sam's body. His length also increased to one hundred forty centimeters.
It's so easy to increase cultivation through system. Show me my status now.

My cultivation really increased. Sigh, system is indeed miraculous
System can you explain sturdy and life aura skills to me or will I have to buy skills like inspect or appraisal.
[System can explain but skill buying function is removed so that your strength will not increase too much]
Tsk, I didn't noticed it. Sam clicked his tongue. I am fighting against time and system is trying to reduce all it's OP functions.
[Sturdy: Increases the defense of host by 0.1 in level one and increases with every level.]
[Life aura: Increases the speed at wound heals by times equal to its level. It also increases vitality of host by 0.1 in level one and increases with every level.]
These skills are the best. If I can get skill for strength and agility then my overall strength will increase again. Then tell me about dragon roar.
[Dragon roar: Skill that every dragon posses. It startles the enemy and cause fear to weaker enemies. It can also develop into sonic attack.]
System how can I develop dragon roar into sonic attack.
[You can develop by using dragon's cultivation method. Dragon has unique way of cultivation which to refine own body parts into treasures.]
Refine body parts into treasure. How do they do that.
[You can also refine after practicing dragon's cultivation manual.]
So, I have to wait until I reach rank 4. Now, preparation to become king of jungle will began.
At that time the same eagle from before flew above Sam towards it's peak.
Sam squinted his eye. Fate is indeed with me. Now, I don't have to worry about anything.
