[Listen, Tang Yin. I am the System of Domination. I exist for you to become powerful. My existence has only one purpose: To make my Host the absolute dominator of everything. Of this world or the upper world. A true Emperor!"]
Tang Yin looked at the system with his mouth open, thinking how arrogant that statement had been, but still, he scoffed.
"Yes? How nice, I congratulate you." He said sarcastically, though he spoke again.
"Hmph, introduce yourself well. I don't need your help if I want to be the absolute dominator. I broke all the records that my father, the most powerful and talented being in the Upper Realm, set. If I had not died at a young age because of that betrayal, in less than 1,000 years, I would have managed to become a true dominator of the entire Upper Realm. What can you give me? I am the bearer of the Divine Soul and the Divine Son of the Upper Realm. I just want to know why I can see these floating things and why you appeared." He replied firmly.
With his talent, he did not need to go through much to become a dominator. He reached such a great height and could stand up to Divine Masters when his cultivation was so far away from them in just 30 years. What would he achieve if he was allowed to live for 100 years? What if he lived for 1,000 years? Or, like his father, over hundreds of thousands of years?
That's why he didn't care what this thing says.
Still, he had doubts about the system and why he could see it.
Besides, this is not the time to divert his gaze to other things. People are crying for him in his world, and there are also a few scumbags waiting for his Heavenly Hammer to destroy them; this is no time to waste time.
For a brief moment, the system said nothing.
But still, it soon spoke.
[Heh, you still died. If I were with you, you wouldn't have died]
That last thing he said left Tang Yin speechless.
Even so, before he could answer it, the system spoke again.
[I will answer you when you answer me this question]
[Where did you find this?
As he said this, an object appeared before Tang Yin, floating in the air.
This object made Tang Yin's eyes widen in astonishment, and he grabbed it.
"This traveled with me?" His voice came out by itself as soon as he saw it.
It was a small shield-shaped object with a character of 'Domination' written on it.
[It's obvious. That object is the one used to obtain the system. It's linked to your soul, not your body]
Tang Yin was a little stunned to hear this and understood a little.
'Linked to the soul? Is it a soul object, then? What kind?' He thought to himself. He hadn't expected an answer to these questions.
But to his surprise, he received it.
[Yes, it's a soul object. Don't ask me what kind, even I don't know].
Tang Yin looked at the system, "You read minds?" He asked.
[I'm attached to your soul, why couldn't I?]
"Makes sense..." He replied, and after the small talk, he focused his gaze on the object again.
When he found it, it was a lifeless object. But it was in an impressive place, so he kept it, thinking it would be useful.
But now, it looked a little different. It was glowing with a beautiful celestial light.
At that time, he risked his life to get this object because everyone said it was amazing (although no one knew its use). Even his father tried to obtain it once but could not.
He didn't expect such an object to be this supposed Domination System.
"I almost died to get this, more than a year of effort and a whole month without sleep because of chasing that beast, and you say this was to have you?" Tang Yin asked.
[That's right, the object is to activate the system. I am an independent entity that is sealed in that object; I have control of it, but at the same time, it limits me]
"It's a very high-level Container Type Soul Tool, isn't it? You are a soul, right?" he asked once more.
But he received no answer.
The system was silent for several minutes and did not respond.
Quickly, Tang Yin gave up then; that silence was the answer itself.
But now he had a doubt.
"If you were always here, why didn't you activate earlier? And what can you give me?"
[The System can only activate in a Lower Realm, and my last Host left me in a Higher Realm, so I couldn't activate myself]
[Regarding your other question, I can give you many things. I am an entity of wisdom and power, but on my own, I cannot do so; you must become my Host to do so. Although you are not entirely suitable, I cannot stay away from you for some unknown reason]
Once the system said that, two messages again appeared before him.
[Do you accept the Domination System? You'll have everything under your power if you do!]
[Accept] / [Reject].
This made Tang Yin frown slightly, considering several things.
'A soul entity dependent on an object I own... If it can't get away from me, it's because of the servant-master contract I made back then with my Divine Soul, so it shouldn't be dangerous.' He thought.
Also, he remembered something called 'System' in his sect; although it only said the name, it could be this in front of him.
'If I had more treasures like this, it wouldn't be a bad idea...' He thought, and just then, the system spoke once again.
[I can give you power, but there is something else I can do to make you accept] Said the system.
This attracted Tang Yin's interest.
"What is it?" he asked.
[Your body was crippled, you saw it, right? Your Spiritual Bone Body was destroyed along with the 'Spiritual Bowl'. Not only do you have no 'Bones', but you lost the chance to get new ones. Therefore, I have a way to restore the Spiritual Bone Body] Said the System and kept silent.
A bright light crossed Tang Yin's eyes then.
Indeed, that was interesting.
"I have a way to do it, but it will take me a while, several years possibly. How long would it take me if we go your way?" he asked.
[1 year, at most]
Tang Yin then smiled with interest.
"Well, I agree to become your Host." He replied.
If it's only one year, it would shorten the time it would take to get his revenge. It was a good deal.
[Ding]
[Congratulations to Tang Yin for becoming the new Host of the 'System of All Things.']
[Ding]
[Host Tang Yin has reincarnated. The presence of 2 Names for the current Host's Body is confirmed: Ren Xiao and Tang Yin]
[Ding]
[Which name will you choose from now on?]
Tang Yin frowned at this.
He hadn't expected the system to ask him that. If he can choose between his name and someone else's, why would he choose someone else's?
But now that he was in Ren Xiao's body, that name attracted him with nostalgia and made him think of the memories he had recently.
Feelings of guilt, resentment, pity, and hatred overwhelmed him momentarily. They were Ren Xiao's feelings before he died.
There were so many feelings swirling in his heart, which made him sigh.
The feeling of being betrayed, of being sold...
'I can't take your name, but I will take your revenge for you. Don't worry, I swear under my name as a Divine Heir and the Divine Son of the Tang Sect, I will rescue your sister and kill those bastards.' He thought.
Perhaps a remnant of his soul might be left out there, and that oath might reassure him.
He was taking someone else's body, a body with an incredible connection to his original body, a connection he had yet to discover; therefore, collecting the current revenge is a good decision.
"Tang Yin." He said to choose his own name.
[Ding]
[Congratulations, Host Tang Yin.]
Welcome messages appeared before his sight, but he ignored them to look at a larger message that stunned him.

"Can that show my information, even know my cultivation level!?" He asked in surprise and stared at his information.
As he stared, he realized that all the information was real
Height, age...
Although what it said in 'Real Strength' was a bit annoying, as it looked like it was being highlighted, but it was real.
All that information box was authentic, and his wealth was even more authentic because he had nowhere to drop dead.
That's why he was so surprised that he couldn't stop looking at it.
Still, he looked down to see what was underneath those statistics.
Several buttons caught his eye. The default color was light blue, but they were invisible. Still, they flickered with a golden light as if asking to be pressed.
Tang Yin found constant flickering annoying, as he wanted to push them, but he remembered that he couldn't touch the system.
"Hey, what's that? They keep blinking."
[They're buttons. You can press them, and more Host information and statistics will be revealed. That's part of the system's core information]
"Can I press them? I couldn't do it a while ago."
[Now you are the Host, and you can touch those buttons naturally. Why are you asking such obvious things?]
Tang Yin frowned then and nodded. It seemed to make sense.
Therefore, he stared at what each button said.
