Chapter 107: You are more precious to me
[You seem more determined than before, host. Before, you tried to become stronger for nothing, you just wanted to gain strength, but now… it really feels like you want to gain strength not just to become stronger but to protect your close ones.]
Evan smiled a little and leaned back. A rock by itself appeared behind him, giving him support. After getting comfortable, Evan spoke again,
‘Don’t forget that you are dear to me as well. I want to get stronger for you too.’
[I can protect myself, host. I don’t need to rely on anyone for my safety, there is hardly anyone who can harm me.]
‘Hmm, so you do accept you are a living being and not just an artificial intelligence.’
Both of them went quiet then; the system’s silence was enough for Evan to know the correct answer.
He then brought up a topic that has been bugging him since his battle with Sylvanus.
‘That god used a domain when he fought against me, but that wasn’t a perfect domain at all. A cultivator forms a domain after a certain realm that represents its nature in itself, so if he claims himself to be a god, then that mustn’t be true. But if he is really a god, then could it be that my cultivation knowledge is wrong?’
[No, host. That Sylvanus guy was really a god. But today’s definition of god is different than before. Currently, anyone can proclaim themselves as gods and collect faith from their believers, but they require a ‘Celestial ark’ to collect that. But in the past, that wasn’t the case. So, he is a god and the knowledge you got is also right.]
‘Then that means with my knowledge, I can even kill a god?’
[No, host. Killing a god isn’t an easy feat. A god possessing even a fragment of divinity won’t die unless that divinity is gone. And divinity doesn’t work like your ability regeneration; your ability heals you using your energy, but that isn’t the case for divinity; a god can regenerate infinitely without using his energy; his divinity will protect him, and it won’t exhaust in the process as well. The divinity won’t get lost unless it is used or taken away. Using a divinity is easy, but taking it away… there aren’t many people alive that can take divinity away, no one can touch divinity except those forbidden existences.]
‘I want to ask you something, but before that, do you mean a god can’t be killed then?’
[Almost. But they aren’t immortal; anyone can die, and their existence is proof of that.]
‘Hmm, you sold me the knowledge of the cultivation world for a mere 10000 points; I didn’t think much of that till now, but now I feel its worth should be similar to the world tree, maybe a little lower or higher. Why did you sell it to me for such a low price?’
The system went silent for the moment. Evan waited for it to answer but there was utter silence.
‘Seems you don’t want to answer that. Then I won’t pry too much into it.’
Saying that Evan was once again lost in his thoughts.
If he got such important information just like that with a mere 10000 points, then there must be things he got that should be much higher in value.
[It’s not that I am trying to hide it from you, host. But what I am doing is just for your own sake.]
The system said and went quiet again; Evan also didn’t utter a single word. It seemed as if a little crack had been opened up between them.
“Are you okay now?”
It was then a melodious and sweet voice appeared from Evan’s behind. Evan didn’t turn around, as no one could enter his sect without his permission. With this sudden thought, he concluded that the worth of this sect must be much higher than what Evan brought it from. But he wasn’t going to get an answer from the system, so he decided to not think too much about it, he didn’t want to doubt system as he also believed it was for his sake, but what was it hiding it from him? Evan didn’t understand that, so his misunderstanding turned into doubt, and his trust in the system went down as well.
Evan didn’t want to continue this so, he replied to the owner of the voice,
“Why did you come here, big sister? How did you even know I was here?”
Nova with a smile went beside Evan and sat on his left and said,
“Your sect is too small for you to hide from me. Even if it was bigger, I could find you easily. Though, I have to admit I can’t destroy this sect.”
Evan knew what she meant and nodded his head.
“It’s amazing, isn’t it?” He asked, hoping for her admiration of his sect. Nova hardly praised anything; nothing ever made her interested in anything, all because of her past.
“It’s good, it’s my little brothers, so it must be good.”
She then enjoyed the scenery in front of her as well. The sect wasn’t only big and powerful but was beautiful as well. The dense spiritual energy coming from the spiritual field was like a river flowing down the mountain; the mountains were filled with flowers now. They weren’t present here before, but with an increase in spiritual energy, they grew by themselves. Old wooden houses accentuated the beauty of the sect even more, overall it was a peaceful view to calm down anyone’s mind.
Nova captured this moment with her little brother in her heart. She then turned towards him and said,
“Come and lay here.”
While patting her thick thigh.
Evan naturally looked at her, she was inviting him to sleep on her lap. And Evan didn’t deny it at all, he was in much need of someone’s company right now.
He graciously accepted her offer and placed his head on her soft and thick thigh. He felt like sleeping on a soft cushion, but this was better; it smelled good. If he has to choose between a pillow or thick thigh… I think only a retard will choose a pillow.
Nova smiled radiantly ruffled his hair and said,
“It takes me back to when you looked cute and came running to me wherever you were afraid. I actually miss my little brother.”
Evan closed his eyes and enjoyed this moment and said,
“I don’t think I have changed much.”
“Fighting against a god, having relationships with so many women, and giving something like that to the people who used to bully you, do you think you haven’t changed? It’s not just your looks that have changed; you have changed as well; you are not cute anymore… manly, it might fit you now.”
Evan smiled unconsciously; he was forgetting all his stress, and his mind felt fresh.
“I am honored that you feel like that for me.”
“What I feel about you, I can’t express it in words. Evan, do you… do you hate me for what I did?”
Evan opened his eyes and looked at Nova who seemed sad for what she did.
‘She destroyed the Earth in anger, and I can’t blame her for that, her power is enough to destroy the Earth millions of times with just the flick of her wrist. I won’t deny that it shocked me, and I even had some plans that failed due to that, but do I hate her for that?’
“Why would I hate you? You lost your control because you saw me getting harmed; I would have done the same if I were in your place; besides that, that planet doesn’t have much worth to me; you are more precious to me than the planet.”
