The description of his title made Adam pause. It told him everything he needed to know about it while telling him absolutely nothing. It was cryptic and it would have honestly annoyed him had he not seemingly fallen into deep thought.
Did the title truly not tell him anything useful?
Was that not just a matter of perspective?
Just the phrasing alone let Adam know that he could spread his lineage to possibly create more Anima Mundi, but it did not tell him how to do that. If he was going to be frustrated by such a thing, then he should not even begin this endeavour for survival. Why? Because the Universe itself had already told him everything he needed to know about his race.
Why did the system not tell him how to spread his lineage?
It was simply because not even the Universe knew how Adam or Earth became a sentient living being. Which means it cannot replicate what had happened nor could it teach him. Adam himself had to figure out how to create more Anima Mundi based on his own experience.
The only other thing that the description told him was that there was some kind of mysterious designation for being a Progenitor.
It said that he was the 'Beginning' and that he could also be the 'End' of his legacy. It was not just the capitalisation of the first letters of the two words that caught his attention. That was just an emphasis on the written text in his vision.
What was truly notable was how the voice and that intuitive feeling of information being assimilated into him emphasised the two words with a hint of power that felt too complicated for him to understand and grasp. In fact, it was too outside his reach that he was just barely able to notice it, much less comprehend what it was.
In any case, he would find out more about it later. His priority was to get stronger, enough to prevent future apocalypses from ravaging his main body.
Adam looked to the continents he had rearranged, the small populations of surviving humans gathered together in sporadic settlements in ruined cities and even in the new wilderness that had been created. The world looked much better now, more natural and less polluted.
Soon, those ruined buildings would be overtaken by nature or rebuilt into better facilities for a brand new civilisation. But before he could let the humans move on with their lives, he had to set the ground rules.
Now that he had access to the Universal System, Adam was in the unique position of granting limited access to the system to the inhabitants of his main body. After all, he was the planet itself. And so, he granted the humans and even the animals access to the system.
For now, there was not any difference between their version of the system and Adam's. But the inhabitants of Earth all had a unique status clearly recorded by the Universal System.
[Status: Subject of Earth]
They were not called denizens or inhabitants. Instead, they were considered subjects which meant that the Universe recognised Adam's sovereignty over them. His rule over them was absolute as well, to the point that he could literally change their status at any time.
He could turn them into his slaves and the system will make it so. But there was no need for it when they would be forced to obey his commands regardless. So for the moment, he let them be to allow them to rebuild. After all, if there was one thing that humans were good at, it was adaptability. He would take the reins later when they have sufficient progress, but for now, he would begin his journey.
Adam shot out of Earth's atmosphere and arrived into orbit. He located his volatile trash bomb that was about the same size as his body, but before he moved to collect it, his eyes locked onto something nearby.
It was a silvery white mass of celestial rock just calmly floating in space. Its surface glimmered just a tiny bit, reflecting the light of the sun on one side while the other half of its body was dark and probably colder too. It was Earth's natural satellite, the Moon.
