Chapter 2: Domination System (R).
Soon after, though, that smile disappeared from Tang Yin's face.
His memories were slowly coming back, and among those memories, there was nothing to tell him why he had been reincarnated.
He didn't understand what was happening, but that was strange. So, he put his hand to his chin to think about various things.
Seconds later, a light bulb of ideas lit up in his mind as he thought of a possibility.
He didn't hesitate to sit cross-legged to look inside his own body.
He was a very high-level cultivator in his past life, so doing this, even without cultivation, was a no-brainer for him.
He immediately began to investigate, and little by little, surprise blossomed in his heart as he realized that this situation was quite surprising.
He couldn't help but stand up abruptly after realizing so many things.
"Shit, the similarity of my body to this one is unbelievable. Its energy and spirit were exactly the same as mine, is this possible? Is it because I'm in another world?" he said in surprise, although he realized that this body never had a spirit weapon.
They had many similarities, but the soul of 'Ren Xiao' did not have a Heavenly Hammer like him, which is where an enormous difference lay.
Therefore, his surprise was so great that he couldn't help but shout it out loud, but it was not like there was anyone to hear this.
Still, his mind quickly wandered to find information about this moment and why he had reincarnated.
While it is true that they were very similar, they were not the same. Tang Yin's body is a little different, and Tang Yin's soul is unique, so there is no way they are the same.
Tang Yin was taller at his age, and his hair and eyes were always a beautiful silver color, while Ren Xiao's were born blue.
He concluded that they were not alike in every way, but even so, his Divine Soul could fit into this body, and this is where the strangeness lay.
'Once Father told me that if the energy of heaven and hell mixed in an intense shock on a dead body, a nearby wandering soul can enter that body and revive it. Although I would revive as a demon. But my Divine Soul is different, demonic energy can't corrode me, so, could that be the case?' He thought but soon frowned.
'Wait...' He thought.
His reasoning seemed fine, but a doubt arose, setting off alarm bells throughout his body.
'How is it possible for real demonic energy to exist in a Low-Level World!?' He thought in shock and immediately snapped out of his thoughts and looked at his surroundings.
The darkness might prevent him from seeing, but his eyes are trained. So he could see a little in this darkness.
As soon as he saw the small leak of 'energy' coming out of the walls, his hair stood on end, and he felt a great fear.
He immediately looked down to confirm it and momentarily felt his whole body tremble.
"Why the hell is this here!?" he shouted in shock with great fear.
Still, it was the only question that came out of his mouth, and he knew he wouldn't get answers, so he immediately jumped all over this place, towards the walls of this malevolent abyss.
How terrifying this place was... It was like nothing else.
He knew it very well. He knew what kind of terrifying place this was.
Even if he were at his best, he would not enter this place!
Entering meant dying!
So, when he reached the place's walls and looked up, he felt dazed.
'How the hell can I climb all that? The walls are smooth...' He thought, and his head moved endlessly from side to side, trying to think of a way.
Just then, he noticed the presence of those floating letters in front of his eyes.
He had ignored it because his mind was in chaos, and he needed to understand what was happening, but now that he saw it, it seemed to have been talking to him for a while.
So even though he didn't know what it was, he didn't hesitate to speak to it.
"Hey, how the hell do I get out of here!?" he asked quickly, pointing to something that seemed to have the name 'System'.
The system, noticing that it was being spoken to, quickly sent several messages and filled Tang Yin's view again...
[Dear Host, my name is the Domination System.]
[I have a way out of here, but you must accept my conditions...] Said the system, but before he finished speaking, Tang Yin interrupted him.
"Wait, wait, let's talk about conditions later, we need to get out of here quickly, what way do you have!?" shouted Tang Yin impatiently.
He felt the urge to look back for a moment but then quickly turned his mind back to the front.
The truth was that he was afraid.
This place was terrifying, to say the least. It was a fear ingrained in his bones after hearing about it many times.
Because of it, his anxiety was triggered.
To last another second would be too dangerous. If he didn't die, he would be crippled, bedridden for the rest of a very short life.
[The way out of here, I can tell you, but you must accept my condition of being my Hos...] Said the system, but Tang Yin did not hesitate to interrupt him again.
He immediately tried to grab the system as he spoke, "Conditions for later, I can accept later, but if you don't tell me quickly how to get out, WE'RE GOING TO DIE!" he shouted, trying to emphasize those words 'WE'RE GOING TO DIE' so that he would realize he was also in danger.
Then he also realized he couldn't grab this thing. He tried, but his body passed through it as if it were invisible.
While the system felt a little helpless.
He tried to communicate with it and tell it to accept it as a part of him, but every time, this guy interrupted him.
Therefore, an unwanted thought came up...
[What's so scary about this place?] he wondered angrily, but without realizing it, his thought materialized into a message.
When Tang Yin saw it, he frowned and gave on trying to get this thing to give him a way out.
He had to find it on his own.
So, he ignored the messages and ran around the place, but he knew the time was near...
That spiritual explosion that happened a while ago and bound him to the body...
It would happen again, and when that hit a human body...
Being crippled, bedridden, and aging several years in 1 month would be the least.
So, his body kept shaking, and he ran, trying to climb the walls, but he couldn't. They were almost completely smooth.
There was no way to hold on to them.
'This... Shit... Am I going to die here? That Ren Xiao... Who gave them the guts to throw themselves into this place?' He thought in terror.
He once witnessed what can be caused by being hit by that energy given off by this place...
And there is nothing more to describe it, than the word 'terrifying'.
Still...
Was he going to die here?
He's just been reborn... Is he so unlucky he'll die as soon as he's reborn?
Once he dies... Will he get another chance? He thought, and his mind filled with fear.
He would almost prefer not to have been reborn than to be reborn in this place...
Just as he was thinking like that, a message from the system caught his attention.
[I have a way out.] It said and also spoke to him.
This made Tang Yin frown.
He was upset about many things and stressed, so his temper flared.
"Shit, what do you want? You don't even know what place this is, how could you have a way out?" he shouted angrily, though he then wanted to give him a chance to talk since he had no choice anymore.
But just at those moments, something appeared in his hand, so he lifted it to examine it.
'What the hell?' He thought in shock, seeing a small feather there.
Then, another system message appeared in front of him.
[It's called Teleport Feather; it can be used up to 3 times. I will give it to you; if you use it, you can return to the top of this place]. The message said.
However, he didn't tell him how to use it, as he wanted him to ask. He still didn't believe that a place unknown to the system was scary.
So, he tried to press him, but Tang Yin knew very well what kind of item this was.
"Did you have something so good? Why didn't you say so before?" He asked happily, and without waiting for his answer or thanking him, he immediately used the pen.
[Hmph, I gave you a treasure, don't you thank me? You were a Young Master; where's your education? Shit, you should thank me very well].
[You should know that I'm giving you a treasure totally free!] The two messages said.
Still, Tang Yin ignored them by closing his eyes after using this beautiful feather that was so hard to find.
It is said to belong to a Bird called the Supreme Bird of Space, and, well, Tang Yin once caught one. It took him one full year to catch it. And if it wasn't for the help of his father and several elders, he couldn't have done it.
It is a terrifying bird, almost impossible to catch, so its feathers are extraordinary, even in the Higher World, as it is a life-saving treasure.
Just then, Tang Yin felt his body falling, so he opened his eyes sharply.
"What the f*ck!?" he shouted in shock, looking down, and immediately turned his body as fast as he could and started falling down a tree, hitting between the branches and falling with a loud explosion sound.
Even then, it continued rolling on the ground until it stopped by grabbing hold of the mount on the spot.
"Shit, who the hell sets such a horrible landing spot, for a Teleport Feather!? Do you even know how to use it!?" shouted Tang Yin angrily after seeing the system playing dumb.
Still, it was true that he had been saved, so he stopped insulting it.
"Shit, that hit on the tree hurt. If I hadn't avoided it... I really could have been left with no offspring." Tang Yin said, bringing a hand to his waist to rub himself.
For a moment, he shivered at the thought of being left without a companion.
[Heh, you deserve it. You don't even say thank you for something so good I've given you.] Say the system angrily, and Tang Yin shrugged his shoulders.
"Well, well, thank you for the feather. I'll put it to good use." He said arrogantly. Although he thanked him, it didn't seem sincere at all.
After that, Tang Yin walked to where the abyss was, wanting to reorient himself again.
[Why are you so afraid of it? In your past life, you were very powerful, so why are you scared of that place?"] He asked doubtfully.
Now that he could hear the voice of the system, he could tell it was a 'girl' voice, but it was a bit strange. The robotic thing prevented him from understanding what his gender was, and it sounded in his head.
Why? It was his question, but he didn't voice it.
He just looked down, frowning.
"They call it a Meteoric Abyss, but it's fake. This is not an Abyss made by a meteorite, and I don't understand why it exists in this place either. But, yes, with my previous strength, I should also fear it." He replied with a serious expression.
His mind was confused. He could recognize the place, but he didn't know how it got there.
The 'system' was interested, [What is it?] He asked.
It was the first time he had encountered something he didn't know.
"Hmph, it's an abyss, a Hell, but of a higher level. It's called the 19-Level Abyss. This is just Level 1 and the other 18, perfectly could be here, deep down, or in another world." He said and turned around.
This place gave him goosebumps, so he didn't want to see it even if he was interested in investigating it.
Still, the system wanted to talk about it, as the name reminded him of something from the past.
[What do you say? Wasn't the 19-Level Abyss somewhere in the sky?] he asked, and Tang Yin was surprised to see that he could recognize it, so he nodded.
"That's right. The 19-level Abyss should be somewhere in the sky. Hmm, well, not exactly. It's supposed to be in a 'World', but that world is in 'Somewhere in Heaven', no one knows where it is, so they say that." He said, smiling, though another thought crossed his mind.
Remembering a certain person, he knew who knew where that place was located.
After that, he leaned back next to a tree and looked at the system before him.
"Hey, how come you have such a good treasure?" He asked.
He had many questions, but he didn't know which one to start with, so he decided to start with this one.
Investigating his body, he realized that this body was crap.
He has 0 spiritual power, his energy was abolished, and his 'Spiritual Bowl' was destroyed, preventing him from cultivating.
Therefore, he needed a treasure to restore himself and thought the system might have one, as he had a very good feather.
[Of course, I would have it. Don't you know who I am?] said the system with a message showing pride.
Tang Yin shook his head.
"Honestly no, I don't know who you are, who are you? And do you have any other treasures?" Tang Yin asked again.
[Hmph, I already told you a while ago who I am. How do you not know?]
[Besides, whether I have other treasures or not, why would I have to tell you?] the system angrily asked.
"Oh, that's right. A while ago you told me something... System? Oh, I remember. System of All Things, right?" Tang Yin said with a smile, but the system was not pleased.
[Domination System, I said Domination System!]
Tang Yin then nodded. He remembered it was like that, but it said the word 'System of All Things' above several messages, so he thought that was its name.
"Well, that's just it. So, tell me, domination system, what exactly are you? And why can you talk to me with telepathy? Also, what are these messages?" Tang Yin asked several things to get out of doubt.
[Hmph] A small robotic snort came out of the system, and then he presented.
