Chapter 34: Friends?
{This is the bonus chapter for 100 Powerstones. Again, thanks for the support. Keep throwing them power stones my way, make it rain. Don't be humble and show off.}
Gu Changga although transmigrated, had the old memory of the former host of this body, so he knew just how powerful he was... well, a hint to how powerful he truly was. He could skip 2 whole realms, and this would only increase, maybe in the future it would be 3.
Remember, even the likes of Yun Che and the other favored sons of the heavens would struggle to skip 2 or even 3 realms if they were at the Nascent Soul realm... that is of course if I didn't step in to help them out. but thanks to my help, well, forget 2 or 3 realms. 4 or even 5 might not be out of the picture.
The Gu Changga standing before me was at level 10 nascent Soul, but his combat strength could match a half-step High Saint, and that was scary if you look at things without me in the picture.
Gu Changga gathered his strength, he was planning to have a simple clash with me. this way he could measure out my strength and capability. He was expecting me to tell him to lower his level or something, but seeing as I didn't care made him aim to go all out and attack me.
He wasn't going to look down upon someone who those favored sons of the heavens called upon. So, he attacked, launching an attack in which power reached Half Step High Saint. Although not his strongest attack or ability, the void finger was something not just anyone could stand against.
The void Finger was a finger attack. You stab forward and can either launch a finger attack from long range or go in for close range to stab your target. Once launched, the Void Finger would be like an illusion, it would be within this world, yet at the same time within the void.
It would bypass almost all defenses, making it extremely tricky to deal with. Yet Gu Changga was shocked seeing me just slap the attack to the side. I didn't need to do this as it wouldn't have gotten through Infinity, but I wanted to see this unique technique.
"What is the name of that technique?" I asked with a smile, to which Gu Changga frowned slightly.
"It's called the Void finger, it was created after the Great Void FIst. But it has been lost in the river of time." Gu Changga said lightly, to which I nodded slightly. I rubbed my chin slightly while in deep thought.
The Great Void Fist was far stronger and more complex compared to the Void Finger. it could phase through it all, and when trained to the peak, one could even have their whole body phase through things. It made them have the strongest attack, but also the strongest defense.
"Well, my turn," I said while reaching out into the sky. I pointed everyone toward the star hundreds of light-years away. They looked at the star which was slowly growing bigger and bigger with every passing second,
"I Seized the Star," I said while the illusion of a huge palm wrapped around the star, the next moment, my palm which had reached into the sky exploded with unmatched heat. Everyone seeing this level of power which only immortals should be capable of doing was shocked.
"If I open my palm right now, the whole solar system is gone," I said with a smile, sending chills down everyone's spine. Gu Changga looked at this in shock, not daring to believe a mortal who hadn't even reached the core formation realm was this capable.
But his eyes widened the next moment when he saw the heat coming out of my palm compressed. I opened my palm, and there the small son floated. I held out my palm and began to start compressing the sun.
"You want to see a star reach a level where it could cross infinity?" I asked with a grin, making Gu Changga's pupils shrink. He didn't need to do anything as his protector flashed, appearing in front of him and blocking the beam that shot from the star. but this old man being in the lower realm wasn't even at his full power, adding the fact he was only an Earth Immortal... well, being a false immortal led to the scene of the old man being overwhelmed by the beam.
His clothing and body were burnt, and he was sent flying toward the ground, knocked out. I had controlled the power to ensure that it was just enough to overwhelm the old man, and not enough to kill him.
Gu Changga floated there and looked at the old man hitting the ground, unsure if he was dead or alive. he looked back toward me, and shock and slight relief flashed across his eyes. If that attack could cross infinity, forget the old man, the whole lower realm would be gone.
"I held back," I said while looking at the old man, I tapped the air, and time moved backward. after a few seconds, the old man was before Gu Changga, arms crossed to defend the beam. but he was shocked to find that time had moved backward.
"Well, I won. Speak." I said with a smile, Gu Changga sighed at my words before sending his protector away. His protector was unsure, but he disappeared, returning to the void. We walked off to a mountain, where we sat back to speak.
"How are you so powerful" Gu Changga asked with a depressed sigh, he wasn't expecting an answer, but I answered him.
"I created my cultivation art and reached levels 11 and 12 within all of the realms. adding my overpowered level of control of energy, and my training... well, I'm a monster." I said lightly, Gu Changga looked at me in shock for some time, before sighing.
"Your system is around the concept of taking karma from others right?" I asked stunning Gu Changga, who looked at me in shock. he was going to lie, but seeing as I hit the nail on the head, he was stunned.
"The way you carried yourself around Yun Che and Qin Wentian was a clue. the fact you wanted to kill them yet didn't dare was a clue. Another clue is the fact you give the air of a villain. another clue is that you are doing extra to get the sword you want." I said with a smile, leaving Gu Changga helpless. I laughed while a jar appeared before us, I opened the cap and poured the soda into cups.
"I didn't expect to see this in this world." Gu Changga said while taking a cup, his eyes widened seeing as there was no impurity within the drink.
"I created this personally. This world has stuff like pizza, yet no soda... it was a bit depressing." I said with a smile while drinking. Gu Changga took a sip, and instantly, he held his neck, feeling like his throat was on fire.
"You're crazy." Gu Changga said while coughing. this was more than powerful enough to kill any mortals, even false immortals couldn't handle this. He nearly died, but he was lucky to take a small sip.
"Haha!" I burst out laughing at his words, before sighing.
"Well, what year from earth are you from? I'm from the year 2024." I said with a smile. Gu Changga's eyes widened, but he shook his head lightly.
"I'm from 2020," He said to which I nodded lightly, slightly disappointed as I wanted to know what would have happened after my death. What improvement did those on earth go through with the stuff I left behind?
We talked for some time, it was simple stuff, but as we talked we found that we were frown two different earths. My earth was far more high-tech than the earth Gu Changga came from. Gu Changga Earth didn't have me, so it had fallen behind.
"My system had alerted me that you are forcing the heavens to adapt to you." Gu Changga said leaving me stunned before I shot up to my feet in joy.
"Does that mean one day someone would be born to rival me or even surpass me?" I asked with bright eyes, to which Gu Changga shook his head.
"I highly doubt it. You're a freak of nature, maybe if there are other system users out there, then yeah. my system needs me to steal from favored sons of heavens, and use that to buy stuff from the system shop" He said to which I thought for a good amount of time,
{Shattered the relationship between Yun Che and Wu Xian. Yun Che had lost 2 million Fortune Value... you have gained 10 million Destiny Points.}
"looks like it worked, how much did you pain?" I asked with a smile, making Gu Changga's eye twitch slightly.
"2 million." He lied to which I nodded lightly.
"So, more than 2 million... let's go around, fucking over these Favored Sons Of Heaven. I will make you so overpowered, that it would be unfair." I said leaving Gu Changga's eye twitching once more.
"You don't care for my system?" Gu Changga asked, while quickly buying a technique from the system which allowed him to see through all falsehoods and lies
"I rather do things on my own thing. This is why I don't want to cultivate others' art, I rather create my own." I said with a smile, to which Gu Changga sighed softly seeing as I was telling the truth. He up upgraded the ability a few times, just to find I was still telling the truth.
"I have 5 million points." Gu Changga lied, not wanting to reveal that he just spent 1 million points.
He could earn Destiny Points by reversing the Fortune of the various Favored Children of Heaven, and the Points themselves were the currency used for all kinds of things in the System. Not only could he exchange them for Cultivation Techniques, but they could also be used to obtain Talents, Bloodlines, and so on.
He could even add those points to upgrade the various Mystical Abilities that he had cultivated. In short, the System had all the functions Gu Changge could think of and maybe even functions he couldn't think about right now.
He had bought the All Seeing Eyes Of God. It was an ability that cost 50,000 Destiny Points, he had improved it a total of 6 times, leading to him spending a total of 1 million points.
"How about the amount you just spent?" I asked with a mocking smile, making him glare at me. I laughed, but after a moment I stopped and listened to him just explain what his system could do. We of course were not speaking out loud, as he was sending his voice straight into my head.
"I see... do what you want to Yun Che. Qin Wentian on the other hand is my nephew-in-law, and also my disciple. You might have heard something about his clan, the Qin clan of the immortal realm which was destroyed because they birthed a son with unmatched talent?" I asked to which Gu Changga thought for a moment, before nodding.
"So, he is that clan child. It was a high-level power within the immortal realm, second to powers like my Gu clan." Gu Changga said to which I nodded in understanding.
"So, you're the perfect end villain. overpowered family, background, talent... what else?" I asked to which Gu Changga laughed lightly.
"the inheritance of the devil ancestor?" I asked with a smile, making Gu Changga look at me with slight killing intent. he was getting annoyed with me just reading him, but what I just touched upon was something no one was allowed to know.
"Haha, it was just a guess, but to think I hit the nail." I laughed, enraging Gu Changga who grabbed my shirt. If people found out he had the inheritance of the Devil Dao ancestor. So what if his clan was amongst the top clans of the immortal realm, and could even fight for number 1? They would be destroyed.
"Don't worry, I have no interest in telling anyone." I laughed at the panic in his eyes, which made him relax somewhat. We sat there for a moment, lost in thought for some time before he spoke.
"How did you create your cultivation art?" He asked to which I explained how I just researched into each cultivation realm as well as researched all types of cultivation art to expand my knowledge on the thing.
"It's simple. Think of cultivation arts as ways to work out, you just need to find the best workout to suit your needs best. You might have it easier than me since your system would give you everything mastered." I said making Gu Changga's eye twitch again, he didn't tell me that part about the system.
"Let's become friends. I will defeat you one day, that's a promise." Gu Changga said seriously, who was the last person he wanted to make enemies with right now? Of course that was me. he had no idea what my rainbow color fortune meant, adding the fact I had Yun Che and Qin Wentian, it meant hell for him if he was my enemy.
If you don't want someone as an enemy, then befriend them. Plus, he refused to believe he couldn't at least rival me in power once he started exploring this new path of creating your cultivation art.
"Like I tell everyone else who asks... are you worthy? Remove the system or your family background. If you just found yourself here, would you be able to stand tall and proud? Or are you going to shamelessly say that the system is a part of your own capability and, therefore you have all right to ignore my question?" I asked with a smile... and those words were a blow to Gu Changga's pride. He glared at me for a moment, but in the end, he spoke.
"As of now, no. But don't forget you had your wishes. What would you be doing without the boost to your intelligence, those eyes, or the technique?" Gu Changga said coldly, to which I smiled.
"As of now, my eyes are useless. They are trying their best to keep up with my capability. The technique is nothing like its old self, it's infinitely better... and thats not even a joke. At best, it would have been useful up until I reached the Soul Transformation realm. Above that, this technique was trash. Yet now, it has reached a level where even immortals would fight over this technique." I said with a smile, and I wasn't joking.
Immortals would fight over this technique, what would happen if a true immortal could use Infinity? They could create a greater Infinity than the one they were at. of course, for them to do so would need a high level of energy control.
"My wishes were only my stepping stones. As for the whole intelligence thing, it only boosted what was already there. I would have just taken a few hundred more years to reach my current capability. but I would have done it. Hell, I even put limitations on myself, heavily limiting my capabilities and talents. Yet in the end, I'm a monster within every field I touch." I said with a smile
"Yeah, my wishes helped. but they only sped up what would have happened... but you are right. As of now, you're nowhere near being worthy. but I have hope in a man from earth, go out there and prove me wrong." I said with a smile, to which Gu Changga looked at me for some time... before getting up to leave.
"The next time we meet... I will show you I'm more than worthy." He said with his fighting spirit burning bright.
"Oh? Isn't it smarter to go home and have some powerful expert come kill me?" I asked to which Gu Changga snorted.
"That would be me admitting defeat. You are worth more alive, than dead. the more you exist, the more fortune for me to steal." He said with a snort. I looked at him for a moment before holding my palm out for a handshake.
"... what?" Gu Changga asked with a look of confusion,
"A handshake... a sign of respect. I didn't expect a villain to think so far ahead. Honestly, I was expecting you would do something foolish like try to use others to kill me before even trying to suck me dry of all of my benefit. That would be just sad... but here you go. You can't offend me, so you're going to befriend me. and if you can't befriend me, you want to at least suck me dry of all i'm worth." I said with a smile,
"It's not every day I can see someone who can think. Most of the time, people are too cowardly or lack self-confidence. You don't, and for that... you have my respect, and hopes that we could be friends." I said with a sigh, to which Gu Changga's eye twitched for a moment before he just burst out laughing.
"No, the smart thing to do right now is to ensure you die at all costs. You are a freak who broke the balance of this world, but I'm greedy. So, I will let you grow until I'm strong enough to kill you with my own two hands." He said to which I grinned, I had high hopes for this system user. even if he could only use his system to reach the peak, I was okay with it. As long as one day, I can face a challenge.
