As despair began to consume Shiv's spirit, an extraordinary event unfolded during his cultivation practice. As he poured his Qi into his training, he reached a critical point where his energy reserves were completely depleted, causing him to plummet back to the mortal realm. It was at this moment of hopelessness that a startling sound resonated within Shiv's soul, jolting him from his desolation.
To his astonishment, Shiv heard the words, "Welcome, host, to the legendary rank-up system." The voice, emanating from the depths of his being, filled him with a mixture of shock and overwhelming joy. This was the first time Shiv's composed demeanor faltered, unable to conceal the excitement that coursed through him.
Curiosity ignited within Shiv, compelling him to ask directly, "Who are you?"
The system replied, "I am the legendary rank-up system, born from the core of the universe when the world was created. I was just floating around and became bound to you while saving your soul. I drained my energy and fell into a deep sleep, using your Qi to sustain myself. Now that I am awake, I am here to assist you on your cultivation journey."
Shiv's thoughts raced as he processed this revelation, his mind brimming with questions. Gathering his thoughts, he continued, "What can you do for me?"
The system explained, "I utilize the energy from the enemies you defeat to level you up. As you accumulate experience points through each victory, you will grow stronger and advance in your cultivation. Additionally, I have a system shop where you can acquire various artifacts. These treasures, ranging from powerful weapons to mystical charms and profound cultivation manuals, can be obtained through the accumulation of points. You can earn points by completing random tasks or by achieving significant milestones."
With each answer from the system, Shiv's determination grew stronger. He realized the immense potential that lay before him and the possibilities that awaited. The system's existence was no longer a mystery but a remarkable tool that would aid him in his quest for power and redemption.
Armed with this newfound knowledge and the support of the legendary upgrade system, Shiv embraced his destiny as a cultivator. He vowed to surpass his previous limitations, reclaim his rightful place among the elite, and forge a path of unrivaled strength and greatness. The cultivation world would bear witness to his rise, and his name would be etched into the annals of history as a legend in his own right.
