"Hand over your gray ball to Octavius, and I'll let you go."

"Looks like the cat ate your tongue; let me help you!"
"Haha, don't you think this world is———— What is this?!"
The wounded boy, who looked like an immortal from the realm of immortals, turned pale as paper, knowing that the knowledge he had been so proud of all his short life could not be divulged, even though it was on the tip of his tongue!
Damn, if I had chosen to stay within the confines of the Morim world, I would not have favored the existence behind the universe, greedy for the bottom line!
"Well, I know what you want to say. I'm like you. Maybe it's better to say you're like me because I'm stronger," said the person called 'Outside of the Universe," and then took out a gray ball.
"How do you own that thing, and what is it in the first place?" Octavius wrinkled his eyebrows in confusion.
...
'I am Fang Min. After starting to practice this art called 'Great Ruler," I acquired a system called the Ruler System, and like other systems, it contained a store, missions, information, maps, and a teleportation system. How did you know about the existence of other systems? Hey, this is for after. By using the system and its deceitful methods, I ascended in the world of Murim; my personality changed for the better; I did not remain that naive boy that I was when I found the system; everyone respected me because I reached the pinnacle of the most powerful world under the sky, the "Absolute Master," and at the end of my life that I used to spend in chatting with my one and only friend, the Tao—a system that has accompanied me for hundreds of years, I have chosen to call it—a surprising facet of the system that I had never seen before appeared, in a majestic white-gold pattern with symbols filigree at the edges,
Very similar to the Corinthian Columns, it says: "Sir, I have received a letter from the main house urging me to convey to you his warm 'Congratulations' on the progress you have made in 400 years."
"Main house? Congratulations? How does he know what I've scored and how much? I'm sure no one from my generation lived, let alone someone born before me. Tao gave some explanation."
Sir, my understanding of the subject is sketchy and not much better than yours. I know the main house is my originator with the rest of the systems. As for the person who sends his congratulations, it is ———— . That's all I know, sir.
"Hmmm, really strange, but not to the point of being very confused. All the powerful people in the world, the ancestors of this world who have reached the same level of cultivation as me, are aware that this world is a drop in the sea, either breaking through its borders and traveling like a phoenix in the sea of unknowns or disappearing into the abyss of darkness. This is what the relics and memoirs show. They left it, but no one could do it because no one knew how to start it. You seek to achieve a goal, and you don't even know how to start? Haha, you are bound to fail; all of the previous masters had their cultivations inspired and refined by the limited arts of this world. Am I? My life has been invested in performing the art of the absolute ruler, and I have only been able to perform 10% of its totality, yet I have been able to stand on an equal footing with the previous masters and even stronger than them. With deep thinking, it could even be said that I was waiting for something unprecedented in my life to arrive."
"Tao, can you direct a response to the sender?"
I think so, sir.
