The smile on Yen's face lingered as he gazed at the impressive pile of cash before him. The tangible reality of the wealth he had accumulated in just a week was undeniable. The amount could have been even greater if there were more pills available for sale.Yen's grin widened as he assessed the significant profit, even after accounting for the cost of the pills. He turned to Grey, recognizing the crucial role he played in the operation."You deserve a reward for this." Yen patted Grey's shoulder thoughtfully. "How about a few dozen pills to boost your cultivation? I can see you're progressing greatly, so they'll help you advance even further." Yen offered, a satisfied smile on his face.Grey, eager to ascend in stature, nodded almost reflexively. Among cultivators, the truth held firm: the higher you climbed, the greater your standing. Elevated levels brought not just power but also a surge in reputation. Respect flowed effortlessly towards those who soared above the rest.Consider a
"Fall back! We'll keep losing lives if we advance without a solid plan!" The voice of a Sovereign carried weight as it commanded the attention of others."Sovereign Yen, while we've lost ten billion souls to the war which is insignificant compared to the number of enemies we've killed, nothing seems to be changing. The enemy number seems endless!" Another voice resounded."There's no way we can let the deaths of our companions go to waste! Kill brothers! Kill!!""Silence!"His voice, which thundered down, cracked the very fabric of space like it was a mirror. The wrath hidden within brought terror to the heart of all who heard it.Standing at the center of the battlefield that was in space, Sovereign Yen stared down at every living being present.Floating in space with the others, he stared far into the distance where there was a mass of moving objects like dust heading their way.They looked to be that way because of the distance but the Sovereign could tell what they were.Then he c
{Earth, 2036}With a population of five billion, Earth was surviving.Due to a worldwide epidemic in the year 2025, the world population was halved, and not until 2028 was this epidemic fully brought under control.Eight years had passed since then and the power system had changed completely. Now, the whole world wasn't run by governments or agencies but by families and large businesses.The higher a family's rank in wealth, the more power they held globally. Most of the businesses that occupied top positions and powers were run by families thereby making global power fall in the hands of a few families that numbered in the hundreds.These families were scattered around the globe and were wealthy enough to decide the life and death of basically anyone of a lower status.Today was just another average day on Earth. It was 9 am and while some took their first breaths as they came into the world, others took their last as they left for good.While some went out to work, some returned hom
"Where the hell is this?" Sovereign Yen questioned himself as he opened his eyes to stare at the black spacious room he found himself in.Like the void itself, he could tell its beginning nor end. He couldn't even tell up from down as he simply floated amid this expansive space.Caught between confusion and surprise, he was met with the most bizarre thing he had encountered ever encountered.Ding!A white panel popped up in front of him.{Name: Yen KhanTitle: Sovereign of ExistenceAge: 329,003 YearsStatus: Dead (Pending?)...}As he read through the foreign words on the panel which he somehow understood, he had to stop when he saw his status. His death was pending?What the hell did that even mean?The panel's content continued.{...Your soul was detected right before your death and was summoned here by the Supreme One…}'And who might that be?' Sovereign Yen asked himself.{... The Supreme One watched your sacrifice to protect his creations from a mistake he had made and decided th
"Pardon but can I get something to eat?" Yen asked a woman serving food to people around."What are you saying?" She asked in a language that was foreign to Yen."I meant food. Something to eat." Yen replied again. He understood her words due to a feature on the system that allowed him to automatically understand any language even if he was hearing it for the first time. The problem was that she didn't understand his words.She looked at him confused. What language was he speaking?'Shit! This is messed up!' He slapped his forehead.He decided to gesture with his hand for a second trial.He brought his palms in front of him and rubbed them together in an act of pleading and then brought one hand close to his mouth, folding it so all the fingers were of the same height.'She should at least get this one, right?' Yen thought while repeating the gesture.She stared at him for a moment and he could tell she was specifically looking at the blood that covered the chest region of his robes.
"Ignore the mission, how do I even go about using you?" Yen stared at the red panel shining before his eyes with a line of text displayed on it.{You have received your first mission…}The notification remained unchanged amidst Yen's ranting.Yen gradually got lost in his thoughts, his goal being to figure out how to operate the so-called system given to him.'There should be something that lets me know how to operate something as complex as this. Something like a manual…'At the thought of a manual, the panel flickered and when it returned to normal, the contents of the panel had changed.{Supreme System Manual…The Supreme System, granted by the Supreme One to a single individual, is a self-conscious system that operates with intelligence surpassing the smartest individuals.It comes with a list of commands and features that perform various functions. While some features are automatically activated, others require manual activation…}The new panel content started with an introductio
{Time's up! The mission has been completed successfully!}The voice of his new assistant rang in his head.'Could you at least lower it down next time? It's like you're screaming directly at my brain.'{That's basically what I do each time I communicate with you.}'Ugh!' Yen rubbed his temples in frustration.He wasn't used to the system yet and he could tell, it would be a tough road.He couldn't abandon it because…'How about I just put you to sleep for the rest of my life?' Yen thought to himself but the system could read his very thoughts so it responded.{You put me to sleep and the rest of your life would only last five seconds before you fall asleep 'for the rest of your life'. That is not a threat, it's a warning. The moment I shut down, you'll go down as well.}'I don't believe you!' Yen disagreed with the system's words.{Then go ahead and try it. The command phrase is 'System Shut Down'. Let's both be witnesses to what happens next.}'If that's true, then I'll need the phra
As the sun rose to brighten the sky a certain man did something similar. He rose to hunt for money."There are auction houses in this world, right? There has to be."Yen spoke to himself as he walked down the road.{There exists an auction house a few blocks away.}Unexpectedly, the system replied to Yen's words.'How the hell did you find out about that?' Yen asked with suspicion and happiness.{I possess a map of any world the user visits.} The system replied."A map of any world as soon as I visit it? Seems like too much of a cheat."'Either way, lead me there.' Yen smiled as he commanded Stem, his system to lead him toward the auction house a few streets away.{In that case, go left at the next stop…}The system began giving out directions to its owner like a passenger directing a taxi driver."I want one of those!" Yen's eyes widened at the sight of a man riding a bicycle across the street.He had memories of all available means of transportation available on Earth but since he ha

A week drifted by since Yen's dealings with Wingyu. The once tumultuous situation appeared to have settled, with neither side dwelling on the events that had transpired.Wingyu redirected his attention towards restoring his family's former glory. Publicly known for losing a substantial part of their wealth due to a threatening ailment, the family's narrative shifted to a tale of resilience, thanks to the timely intervention of the Yuan Pharmaceutical Company. The focus now lay on rebuilding, leaving the shadow of their recent troubles behind in the rearview mirror.Given that Cang and Qing were married, the public took the Wangu family's downturn in stride, somewhat expecting a ripple effect though less severe than the Wuhan family's setbacks.Once again, the Yuan Pharmaceutical Company played the savior, elevating its public image to formidable heights. Already esteemed as one of the city's top medicine producers, the incident catapulted the company into an almost legendary status. T
