2024-12-09 13:11:30In an enclosed dark space, a burst of light appeared, lighting up the enclosed dark space.
This place was huge. The end of this place couldn't be seen.
Due to the sudden appearance of light, one can see a vast land with no trees or mountains, only lush green, and verdant small grasses.
The sky above this green land was completely dark without a single shine of light.
At that moment, golden fragments of light began to materialize in the sky, shimmering as they descended and coalesced. Slowly, they gathered together, forming the shape of a young man.
Cyrus opened his eyes and took a deep breath. He revealed a fearful expression on his face as he looked at his surroundings.
"Where am I?"
Cyrus remembered he had just reached the edge of the Great Star Forest when a golden ray of light shot at him from the sky and landed on his head.
The moment the golden ray of light landed on his head; he lost consciousness. When he woke up again, he was standing in this unknown place.
Looking at the surroundings, there was nothing here other than an endless grass field.
Before Cyrus could truly see his surroundings, he heard a series of mechanical voices coming from every direction.
[Welcome to the Land of Eternity, mortal!]
[Congratulations on being selected as the chosen one!]
[Preparing for integrating the System!]
[Starting the integration at the count of three!]
[3... 2... 1]
"Argh!"
Before Cyrus could comprehend what was happening or who was speaking to him, a sudden, intense burst of pain surged through his body. It was as if every nerve was being set ablaze, leaving him gasping for breath and unable to move. His muscles tightened, and his vision blurred as he struggled to make sense of the overwhelming agony that consumed him.
As though a barrel of petroleum set fire to his body, Cyrus felt a piercing and acute wave of burning pain coming from within his body and assaulting his senses madly. A muffled grunt escaped Cyrus's mouth, and he almost let out a tragic cry.
"W-what's going on?"
Cyrus was terribly shocked by this sudden turn of events. He forced himself to endure the severe pain in his body.
A bout of golden energy emerged from within his body, engulfing his entire body.
Under the cover of golden flame, one could clearly see blue veins bulging against Cyrus's skin surface. His muscles were trembling, his bones were shaking, and wisps of black smoke were coming out of him!
"Ahhh!"
Cyrus cried out in pain and agony. He felt like his whole body was about to be ripped apart. Violent spasms went through him. He had never once imagined that this was how extreme pain would feel. It was truly utter misery, where one could neither live nor die!
A few seconds later, the pain Cyrus was feeling subsided.
Everything happened within a few seconds, however, Cyrus felt as if he had spent a few hours enduring the torturous pain.
[System Integrated Successfully!]
[Congratulations on becoming the host of The Eternal Destiny System!]
"The Eternal Destiny System?"
"What is this thing?"
[A brief introduction: A small purpose of The Eternal Destiny System is to transform the host into a perfect Eternal. The host can obtain a chance to visit another dimension with a major breakthrough in cultivation. The host can live there for one year, and upon returning to the original world, the host can choose to keep three of the things he acquired from that particular dimension.]
[No matter how much time the host spends in a certain dimension, only one day will pass in the original world. Even if the host dies in another dimension, the host will return to the original world alive.]
[There are many other benefits. It requires the host to explore.]
Cyrus started digesting the information he obtained just now.
For a few minutes, he remained silent, trying to make sense of what had just happened. In truth, more than 90% of what the system explained to him had gone over his head.
Regardless, the system reassured him that he would gradually understand everything as he explored its functions over time. For now, the most pressing matter was to reach Skyler City and find his sister. That was his top priority.
Looking at his surroundings, Cyrus took a deep breath and asked, "What is this place? Is this a different world? If it is, then how can I return to my world?"
[This is the Land of Eternity, once ruled by the First Eternal.]
[Host can't return to his original world for the time being.]
"What do you mean?"
[With the host's current talentless body, it is impossible for the host to become an Eternal. If the host is ready, the system will start changing your body?]
"What does that mean now? Are you going to transfer my soul to a different body?"
[No! The host need not worry. The system will grant the host the perfect body needed to become an Eternal. After that, the host can awaken an ability and start becoming stronger like other humans!]
"Oh, really?" Cyrus's eyes lit up when he heard this. This was what he wanted the most at this time. If he can awaken an ability, he could start cultivating. At that time, he'll be able to take a step closer to his goal.
"Hurry up and do whatever you want to do?"
[Integration of the Eternal Body will start in three seconds!]
[3... 2...1]
"Ahhh!"
Once again, Cyrus felt as if he had fallen into a river of magma, his entire body was ignited. He cried out in pain and agony. He once again felt like his whole body was about to be ripped apart, but this time, the pain was at least two times more torturous than before. He could feel his body constantly being ripped apart and then healing at a rapid speed many times.
While he was being assaulted by great pain, Cyrus wasn't aware that his body was currently undergoing a miraculous change. As the small and light flames burned his body, everything, be it his bones, meridians, skin, or blood, was going through changes that ordinary people would find hard to even imagine!
Every single cell!
Every inch of his blood and flesh!
Every single bone!
All of them were being reborn!
After a long time, the changes finally came to a halt. The acute pain also ebbed away like the tide. Cyrus collapsed into a heap on the ground, gasping for air and panting heavily!
Sweat and blood covered the ground. It was as though Cyrus was lying in a pool of blood. At this moment, he didn't even feel like lifting a finger at all!
It hurt!
It hurt too much!
He felt as if he had gone to hell and come back again!
Even just thinking back to that feeling now gave him lingering fears. He can swear that he never wanted to experience it ever again!
[Integration Successful!]
[Congratulations on obtaining the Eternal Body. You can now start your journey to reach the apex of the universe, surpass every single being, and become an Eternal.]
Cyrus didn't have the strength to utter a single word. He lay on the ground, staring blankly at the dark sky, panting heavily and gasping for breath.
If he were to be given a choice, he would never want to endure the same hell of pain again.
After some time, when Cyrus finally calmed his breath, he gnashed his teeth and asked: "What is Eternal? Why do want me to become an Eternal?"
[The host doesn't need to know about an Eternal for now. Just know that, in the entire Universe, there can be only ten Eternals who stands above all. Since you've become the master of me, The Eternal Destiny System, I'll do my best to transform you into an Eternal. This is also one of the missions given to me by my creator.]
"Creator? Who is your creator?"
[The host doesn't have enough authority to know the answer!]
"Then... why me?" Cyrus again asked. "I'm a talentless person. I didn't even awaken any ability at the right age. Why did you choose me? Or was it just a coincidence?"
[Correction: You used to be a talentless person, but now, you are not!]
[You being chosen was no coincidence. As for the reason, that will become clear in time.]
"Heh... Hahaha!"
Cyrus couldn't help but laugh at his luck. At first, he thought that no matter how much he longed for strength or revenge against the Velkyn Mansion, he would never get the chance. Yet, to his surprise, the Eternal Destiny System had appeared, offering him a way to grow stronger and obtain the strength he needed.
Although Cyrus has no idea what the Eternal Destiny System truly is or what it is capable of, he is certain of one thing: his life is about to change forever.

"System, you told me I would awaken my ability after integrating with a body perfect for becoming an Eternal. I've already integrated with the Eternal Body, so tell me, why haven't I awakened any abilities yet?" Cyrus suddenly remembered and asked.[Host can first look at your information panel!]"Information panel?"Before Cyrus could think or say anything, he saw a light screen floating in front of him. There were many small words written on the light screen......[Name: Cyrus Velkyn.][Race: Human (Mortal), Eternal (0.1%).][Cultivation: Level 1 Third-tier Star Warrior.][Special Physique: Eternal Body (Mortal) (Can be evolved further).][Bloodline: None.][Innate Ability: Moment Eternity.]﹂ Spendthrift Function: Locked.﹂ Eternal Library: Locked......"What is Spendthrift function?"

"Where is this place?"Cyrus squinted his eyes and looked at the darkness in front of him as he muttered to himself.After he finished speaking, he suddenly covered his chest. His eyebrows knitted tightly, his eyes closed, and his little face distorted. A sharp pain assaulted his chest.Cyrus could not help but cry out in pain. His breathing hastened and his body also began to tremble.After some time, Cyrus's reaction slowly calmed down, and the pained expression on his face slightly lessened. He looked at his chest and saw a small but sharp stone stuck, causing him to bleed.The small stone seemed to have pierced into his chest after Cyrus was thrown out of the vortex. Fortunately, this stone was small, and it didn't pierce too deep. Otherwise, Cyrus would have truly said goodbye to his little life right after crossing a dimension.Cyrus's expression gradually softened as he closed his eyes, allowing himself to fully feel the soreness in his body and the lingering pain in his chest.

Breathing deeply, Cyrus walked and slowly arrived in front of the stone monument. He then started observing the monument curiously.'It couldn't be another evil place, right?'Looking at the stone monuments and the path that went deeper from the side, Cyrus hesitated and thought.Who knew if there would be any more ferocious tigers or leopards ahead?But if he didn't go in, where else could he go?Standing there was not a solution."Awoo!"While Cyrus was hesitating, a heart-shaking howl came from behind him. Cyrus unknowingly shivered, and looked back, only to see the ferocious Three-headed Jaguar leaping out of the forest, howling at him, and quickly rushing toward him.F*ck!Cyrus cursed when he looked at the fierce Three-headed Jaguar's mouth that was already open as if wanting to swallow him. He could see a scarlet tongue and its shiny fangs which could tear him apart in a few seconds. Cyrus didn't think much as he charged past the stone monument and rushed deeper into the valley

Cyrus slowly walked up the stairs, and after reaching the last step, he stood in front of the waterfall. His steps were also at the same level as the water surface of the lake. Looking from a distance, Cyrus appeared to be standing on top of the water, looking extremely mystical.The descension of the waterfall was simply too strong and there was not a single gap between them. Let alone a Third-tier Star Warrior like him, even if it is the First-tier Star Warrior, they will find it extremely difficult to go in through the waterfall.Cyrus knew trying to cross this waterfall with his strength was nothing less than trying to commit suicide, however, this unknown place was too dangerous. Dangers were lurking everywhere. Even if he decides not to cross the waterfall, he will encounter other dangers such as those fish monsters and the Three-headed Jaguar.Since he would face danger everywhere, why not try to cross the waterfall?After all, he was brought here by that cute little guy.

Cyrus felt as though he was being guided by an invisible force. He ascended the stone platform step by step and arrived in front of the golden pearl."What is this? Why do I feel like it's calling to me?"From the moment Cyrus entered the hall, he felt a powerful pull from the golden pearl, as if it were summoning him. Now that he was standing directly before it, the sensation of being called grew even stronger.He carefully examined the golden pearl, but aside from its brilliant radiant glow, there didn't seem to be anything remarkable about it.After observing the golden pearl for a while, Cyrus extended his hand and picked it up from the stone platform."I wonder what the purpose of this golden pearl is?" he muttered to himself while staring at the pearl in the palm of his hand.Suddenly, as Cyrus focused on the golden pearl, it transformed into a beam of light and shot directly into his forehead, disappearing inside him.At the same moment, a golden pillar of light surged into the

"Umm?"As though the blurry figure had just awakened from a long deep slumber, he glanced around in a daze. Suddenly, his hands froze mid-air, and he stood up abruptly. Then, raising his head, he fixed his gaze on the distant sky.Due to the indistinct nature of his form, the expressions on his face and the light in his eyes were obscured. Still, as he stared into the distant sky, he let out a deep sigh and muttered, "Someone has been chosen by the Golden Dragon's Pearl. What changes will he bring to this world?"Muttering to himself, he waved his hand and called out in a powerful voice, "Awaken, my subordinates. Head to the south and find the one who has been chosen by the Golden Dragon's Pearl. Since 'someone' has been selected to become the successor of the Golden Dragon, he must come to the Mystery Island and inherit the legacy left behind by my Godfather."The moment he said those words, the gentle breeze in the void intensified, transforming into a fierce gust.

The surroundings became completely dark, and Cyrus felt like falling into a deep pit. He tried to shout for help but was terrified to realize that no sound was coming out of his mouth. He could not speak at all for some reason.Fortunately, a few seconds later, Cyrus felt his feet touching the ground. Light returned to his eyes, and he found himself standing in a place surrounded by many tall mountains.This was the Black Mountain Ridge.The Black Mountain Ridge was a continuous mountain range with rugged terrain. In this place, there was an unending, black-colored land that looked as if it had been washed with ink. Thus, it was called the Black Mountain Ridge.This mountain range was actually not far away from the border of the Valley of Death.Just like the Valley of Death, there was once a legend about this place.It is said that the Black Mountain Ridge used to be an ancient battlefield where humans fought a bloody battle against other races to defend this place.In the end, a riv

"Bang!"Ka-cha!Cyrus's fist struck the skinny man completely off guard, smashing directly into the bridge of his nose. The sickening sound of bones shattering filled the air.The man's eyes widened in shock and became larger than a small egg. Before he could even cry in pain, his face collapsed inward. Blood started gushing from his broken nose.It all happened so fast that for a few seconds, no one could process what had occurred. The skinny youth, Dora, was immediately knocked unconscious, his body sent flying three meters before hitting the ground with a heavy thud. He didn't even have the chance to scream before blacking out entirely."Ahhh!"When everyone reacted, Cyrus had already caused Dora to suffer a heavy injury. The woman's face was aghast, and she screamed crazily."Humph!" Cyrus's eyes flashed like lightning; he glanced at the sword on the skinny tall youth's waist. Then quickly pulled the sword out and dashed deeper into the forest.Previously, he used his ability "Mom

He's now on the verge of entering the ranks of experts at Level 8 Blue Spirit Star Warrior.""How can that be? I can't help but wonder; does he truly possess such strength, or is something fishy going on?""I don't know, but cheating is highly improbable. You should know that the Golden Monument is a treasure left behind from the Age of Gods. There is no way someone could tamper with it. Not to mention him or us, even powerful Glorious Gold Star Warriors are unlikely capable of manipulating it!""Then how do you explain this? Look at him. He is clearly just a First-tier Star Warrior, yet he reached a ranking where only Level 8 Blue Spirit Star Warrior could possibly rank!""Who knows!"Everyone became nervous.

"Top 200?"Wan sneered silently when he heard the crowd. As a Level 4 First-tier Star Warrior, he was able to rank 285th after erupting with all his strength. Cyrus was only a 1 First-tier Star Warrior. His name should not have even appeared on the Golden Monument, let alone rank in the Top 200.There must be something strange about his name not only appearing on the Golden Monument but also rising up constantly.While Wan was still sneering inwardly, to everyone's shock, Cyrus's name soon rose to rank 200 and was still rising upward, not showing any sign of stopping at all. Not long after that, his name crossed the 100th position as well."Top 100?""Oh my god, A Level 1 First-tier Star Warrior can actually rank in the top 100. How can this be true? My eyes must have gone blind. I'm seeing things."Everyone thought they'd gone crazy and were seeing things, not able to bring themselves to believe in their eyes.On the other hand, the Golden Monument kept flashing with a name constantl
Ch 35: The Crowd's Shock
Cyrus shifted his attention and saw three hundred names listed on the surface of the Golden Monument. The names belonged to young people who had the qualifications to participate in the Hidden Dragon Competition.Among these people, the weakest was a Level 1 First-tier Star Warrior."Are these the top ten?"Cyrus glanced at the top row of the Golden Monument. Ten names were written there in shiny golden characters. Almost everyone's eyes were fixed on them, full of respect.Cyrus curiously looked at the name ranked first. Dylan Lydall's name was purple gold. Among the 300 names, his name was the most dazzling. He was also a Level 9 Blue Spirit Star Warrior and the contestant who was most likely to win the championship.Cyrus frowned slightly and nodded. This Dylan was truly impressive. At only 28 years old, he had already reached the level of a Level 9 Blue Spirit Star Warrior. His talent was undeniable. To put this into perspective, his father, the Lord of Star City back on Earth, wa

At that moment, Cyrus understood that unless the mystery surrounding the crystal was uncovered, there would be no chance of him purchasing it from Marcus.But Cyrus wasn't ready to give up. As long as he could examine the crystal, the system might reveal its true nature and value to him. He knew he could not let go of this god-given opportunity. Although very low, there is indeed some probability of success.Determined, he asked again, "Then... can you at least let me see the crystal? I want to take a closer look."Marcus hesitated, his expression uncertain. Sensing this, Cyrus shook his head and spoke firmly, "If you want my help, you should at least show some sincerity. If you can't even let me see the crystal, why should I risk my life to help you?"What would he gain from helping them?Just a reward and a favor.Perhaps, Cyrus's background was so extraordinary that he didn't consider their favor worth anything at all."That crystal is with Chris. He took it with him to Ten Thousan
Ch 33: Oval-shaped Crystal
"What kind of place is Ten Thousand Abyss City?" Cyrus couldn’t help but ask.Marcus took a deep breath before replying, "I can only tell you that this city is extremely dangerous. The main reason is that it lies at the intersection of four regions of Light Wind Empire. One of these regions is our Green Wood Region.""The Hidden Dragon Competition isn't limited to the geniuses of the Green River Region in the Light Wind Empire; it's a contest among the brightest talents from all four regions, which is why it's held in Ten Thousand Abyss City.""As for why this city is so perilous, you'll know once you go there."Cyrus nodded thoughtfully. By now, he already knew that the Light Wind Empire had a total of four regions. Each region had hundreds of huge cities and towns. Aside from the Green Wood Region, there were the Red Flame Region, the Blue Water Region, and the Silver Thunder Region. There was a significant reason why each region was named after a color and an element. This was due

Cyrus was stunned, but he soon noticed aside from him no one else reacted. It was as if they were used to it.This was the truth.Marcus explained and Cyrus soon understood everything.It turned out that every red light appears from the card only when the participant is a First-tier Star Warrior. When the participant is a Blue Spirit Star Warrior, a very deep blue light would appear. Different colors represent different stages of cultivation.The light serves as proof of one's identity as a participant in the Hidden Dragon Competition. When the competition begins, the light will automatically activate at the checkpoint, granting the individual access to the competition stage."Alright, you can leave now."The old man waved his hand. Yusuf walked down the stage happily. His strength was neither high nor low."Next."Immediately, a young girl walked up from below. She was seventeen or eighteen years old. Her face was round, and her eyes were blinking, shining brightly. She was a beauty.

Upon entering Green Star City, Cyrus and Marcus were immediately greeted by a scene of endless prosperity and lively activity. Luxury cars streamed along the streets, which were crowded with people going about their day. Both sides of the main street were lined with vibrant shops. The air was filled with the constant sound of vendors calling out, advertising their goods, and adding to the city's energetic atmosphere."Let's find a restaurant to eat and rest for a while. Then I'll bring you to the place of registration."Since leaving Riverside City in the morning until now, the group had been hurrying on their way, and they were already exhausted. Although Marcus didn't need the food with his strength, others needed it. Therefore, Marcus and the others found a restaurant to eat and rest in so that they could relieve their fatigue.After some time, they finished their meal and, after taking a brief rest, got up and left......"Cyrus, this is the Eastern Garden.

The black-robed man walked into the inn. He was slightly chubby, with an appearance and aura so ordinary that no one would have paid much attention to him. A simple, long blade hung on his back; there was nothing remarkable about it.As soon as he entered, some of the people in the inn glanced over out of habit. When they saw his plain appearance and felt his weak aura, most of them lost interest and went back to their drinks and conversations.But there were a few who observed him more carefully. Their eyes widened with sudden recognition, and a spark of curiosity lightened up in their gaze. They exchanged quick glances, acknowledging something, and then, with silent understanding, looked away, pretending nothing had happened.The man in the black robe was Chris. He had come to the inn under his father's orders to complete an important mission. It was urgent, and he had to stay under the radar. His identity had to remain a secret, no matter what.

"What are you laughing at?"Lucy stared at Cyrus with her bright and limpid eyes and asked naively."I'm just happy!"Cyrus raised his eyebrows, looked at Lucy, and shook his head. The smile on his face became even brighter."Happy?"Lucy was stunned, not understanding what made Cyrus so happy."Yes, I'm happy?"Cyrus nodded with a bright smile and spoke. His words made Lucy roll her eyes, and then, a smile also bloomed on her face. She elegantly flicked the swaying strand of long hair behind her ears, but soon regained her natural composure."Let's have our meal!"Cyrus spoke and started eating.In the next moment, Lucy’s jaw dropped as she stared at Cyrus in surprise. It is because when Cyrus saw the steak made from demonic beast meat, he didn't bother with a ettiquet. Instead, he stabbed it with a fork and started chewing as if it were a piece of flatbread."Mmm, this is delicious!"Even though he was having dinner with a stunning beauty, Cyrus seemed completely at ease.
