The entire world around Dynn's courtyard was creaking at this moment.
'Buzzzz! BUZZZZ! Booom!'
Suddenly!
In the void behind Gu Dynn, a terrifyingly mammoth phantom appeared with a height that reached above the cloud. The phantom was solemn in expression, its eyes not even bearing a hint of mercy. It was half transparent, with the color red written all over it, and wisps of red ancient aura materialized around it.
Wearing a brocaded black and dark red coat, its appearance shared a striking resemblance to Dynn.
It looked down with an indifferent look that seemed to take everything in this world as mere ants.
To be precise, it looked down at the flying orb.
The Orb didn't stop, it kept slowly moving towards Dynn.
"What is this little thing?", Dynn was unbothered even though he knew this orb to bypass his courtyard defenses as if they were nothing.
Just at this moment.
Dynn raised his hand, and so did the terrifying phantom behind him. Then, in his mind, he chanted some words in an ancient language and lowered his hands.
'Let there be none besides I.'
It seemed like a mere thought to him, yet... the world responded with anguish as if it were in pain due to the phantom's presence.
The phantom followed his will and lowered its hand.
This time, the world seemed to pause, all cause and effect, all karma, the flow of light, sound, all energies seemed to stand still.
The little orb finally seemed to notice something odd and tried to run away!
But in vain, as it was a little too late.
The void around the orb twisted and turned as if it were trying to break the void and teleport somewhere else, but the phantom's power wasn't something it could break through.
This phantom was a power of Gu Dynn's physique, the physique called Forbidden Dao God Physique.
It's a widespread rumor that when Gu Dynn was conceived in his mother's womb, the Heavenly Dao cried as if a great disaster was forming.
The Heavenly Dao is like an autonomous will that governs the world in charge of keeping the world moving forward correctly according to the predestined fate. It doesn't have its own consciousness. Rather, it's made of rules, just like the rules of physics on Earth.
When he was born, the world turned red, and billions of creatures appeared as divine will in the sky: Immortals, Demons, Phoenixes, Dragons, and all kinds of creatures bowed in his direction.
Not in awe or worship, rather... they were in fear, requesting his amnesty.
...
...
...
The orb was still struggling but it slowly landed still right in front of Dynn.
'Who made this? An orb that is formless yet tangible. Judging by its struggle, if not for my physique that is above even the Heavenly Dao, it would have escaped.'
'No, it seems a little too coincidental. Right after I transmigrated, this little orb appeared. As if... it was waiting for me to transmigrate!'
With the phantom in the background, Dynn stretched out his arms, and a few sets of intangible yet visible rules flowed out, buried straight into the levitating orb in front of him.
'Hmm. Nothing like this is in the memory I received. These don't even share the same rules as the Heavenly Dao in this world. It's something that came from another world.'
'Hehe... still trying to resist? Well, let's see what secrets you're hiding from me!'
The rules suddenly intensified and Dynn increased his powers. It kept digging in...
Suddenly...
"WHAT! How are you so powerful?! It shouldn't be, no, no, what went wrong?! You were fated to be possessed by us! How come it went wrong?"
Suddenly, the orb spoke human language.
"Possess me?", blatant mockery flashed in Dynn's eyes.
But he pondered a bit.
'Is this the same novel-like route? The possession?'
He had already figured it out from the rules that made up this orb.
This was a System!
Moreover, there was a living soul hiding inside this system.
"So, you want to replace me with the living soul inside you?"
The System was surprised and let out an unintentional wave of wisps.
"No no no! WAIT! Let's talk!"
"Why bother? I'll just refine you and know everything anyway. And kill him while I'm at it."
"NO! I'm here at the will of the world. This child inside me is the Son of Destiny, he's poised to become a guardian of Heaven in the future. His destiny is crucial for the survival of this world! Please understand!"
"I can swear by the Dao that I will never intrude here, you can even kill me, but this child must live on! Without him, the River of Time would usher in terrible changes! You shou...."
Not wasting any more time he started to refine the orb with crushing power.
Dynn has always been like this, and after understanding what was going on, why bother talking?
"NO!!!"
A scream sounded, very human-like, perhaps it was the human soul inside that suddenly woke up at the sense of impending doom!
'BOOM!'
The orb collapsed, becoming nutrients for Dynn.
"Oh. Hahahahaha, perfect protagonist material indeed."
"Comes from Earth as well, the name is Bert. The System is called the Ultimate Cultivation System and its job is to provide the protagonist with tasks, upon completing which can the protagonist get massive rewards. But I'm still curious, who made this system? It can't be formed by itself, something cannot form from nothing. Could it be the Heavenly Dao?"
Squinting, he was digesting the rules from within the System. Or rather, these were some really pure rules of Heavenly Dao itself. And they were constantly increasing Dynn's power.
By taking the normal route, the system should've succeeded and helped that bitch possess me. But one thing was a variable, my Physique. One variable changed everything.
Who is responsible for this variable? Was it... me? What am I forgetting?
....
....
....
Time passed by slowly and the Forbidden Dao God physique behind him started to materialise more and more. Making the transparent look more solid.
The reason the Forbidden Dao God Physique is so outrageous is because it competes with the Heavenly Dao itself.
While the rest of the creatures in this world rely on the Heavenly Dao of the world to cultivate, the Forbidden Dao God relies on nothing.
It's a Heavenly Dao in and of itself.
Suddenly, Dynn's closed eyes open.
A burst of waves of aura flashed by and the Phantom behind him crushed the void around it to prove its divinity.
'Who knew Systems were so delicious... hehe get a few more and I can truly kill all living beings in this world with a mere thought.'
'Just thinking about being the second Heavenly Dao and having the power to rule everyone... exciting!'
'No, there must be more such protagonists or as they are called in this world, Sons of Destiny. Although this system could reward the protagonist with unimaginable rewards, it was treating the protagonist like its thug, a servant of Heavenly Dao.'
'Hmmm... enslaving a few systems on the other hand seems more economical. After all, who dares make me a thug?'
"Mo Pelly!"
Suddenly, with a call, a magnificent woman with wavy dark hair suddenly appeared on one knee in front of him.
She had medium breasts, that were tightly wrapped in a white dress with pink rims and golden colored flower patterns. She exuded a charm that made one want to conquer her. Her legs had just the right amount of thickness. Her face bore traces of a young beauty yet she was a born killer at heart. Her almond-shaped eyes and red luscious lips made her the perfect object of many fantasies.
But at this moment, her eyes gushed with the highest amount of awe, respect, and servitude.
"Master, please give me your order!"
This was Pelly, Dynn's personal guard. She has been brainwashed since birth to be only loyal to Dynn, she is destined to die with Dynn.
"Prepare my carriage, we will go out to meet my good 'brother'", emphasizing the word 'brother' in an odd way, Dynn thought of meeting an interesting guy.
Well... every protagonist is interesting I suppose.
