Max merely frowned at the system’s comment before ignoring it. He lifted her in his arms and led to the bed.
After putting her down in a comfortable position, he sat crossed legged on the ground.
First thing he did was to check his total lust points.
[Lust points: 175,000]
‘At this rate, it won’t be long before I can completely enhance the rest of my Mana to the three-star level.’ Max happily thought.
Looking at 175,000 lust points, he thought, ‘Should I use these points right now and enhance another 1750 Mana units or should I save 150,000 for the teleportation to the demon continent?’
After a moment, he decided to use the points and enhanced his Mana. As for the lust points required for the teleportation, he still had a few days before the deadline to go to the demon continent, and these few days were enough to earn them back.
Click! Click! Click!
His finger tapped on the screen in front of him.
Swoosh!
After he finished, all the lust points vanished from the screen, replaced by ‘0’ and the enhancement of a part of Mana in his Mana core started.
Argh!
He gritted his teeth and closed his eyes. After a few long minutes, another 1750 Mana units had successfully transformed to the three-star level.
[Mana: 10,000 (three-star level: 4500 units)]
Phew!
Max exhaled a deep breath and fell to the ground with a smile on his face.
“I’m almost halfway to the three-star realm now.” He mumbled.
[No, you’re not. You still have to reforge your Mana core too.] The system’s scoffing voice sounded in his ears.
Max didn’t get angry at this. He carelessly shrugged. “I know.”
[So, what are you going to do about this girl?] The system asked.
Max raised his brows and asked, “Is that any of your concern?”
The system went silent before saying, [Yeah, it doesn’t concern me. But I advise you not to force her if she doesn’t want to be your woman.]
Hearing this, Max’s expression fell, and he coldly asked, “I forced no one before, nor do I plan to in the future.”
He then curiously asked, “However, let me ask you why are acting differently now? Weren’t you the one who suggested more than one time to do something like that?”
He could feel that after Maria cried and fainted, something seemed to have changed about the system. It was showing more human emotions and seemed to care about her. This made it seem like a living thing, but wasn’t the system supposed to be an inanimate thing?
After a prolonged silence, the system sighed.
Whizz~
Suddenly, the system screen started flickering with bright light, which force him to shut his eyes.
When he opened his eyes, his eyes widened in shock. He shot to his feet and retreated backward, assuming a defensive stance.
It was because a figure of a handsome human male had appeared in front of him.
“Are you the supreme mage, the system’s creator?” Max asked with a heavy heart. He knew his guess was likely true. As he thought about what this implied, his expression turned ugly.
The man in front of him nodded. “You aren’t a complete idiot.”
“Didn’t the system said you’ve died while trying to breakthrough to beyond supreme mage realm?” Max asked.
The man smiled and said, “Why don’t you settle down first? It might take a while for me to explain the things to you.”
Hearing this, Max sighed in relief inwardly and thought, ‘Fortunately, it doesn’t seem he wants to take over my body.’
From the day the system started behaving more like a sentient being, Max had become wary. The thing he was worried that it might try to take control of his body and, because it was related to a supreme mage, he knew he would have no hope of resisting if that happened.
Back on earth, he had read a few novels where the main character would have some similar fortuitous encounter that would benefit them, but they would later realize that they were being set up.
“It’s okay. I’m comfortable standing here.” Max said.
The man nodded and said, “I programmed the system to say that I’ve died so that the host wouldn’t be suspicious and he would use the system to his heart’s content so that we both can benefit from each other’s existence.”
This sent a chill down Max’s spine. He warily asked, “What do you mean?”
The man frowned and said in a displeased tone, “How about you keep quiet until I’m finished?”
Max nodded.
The man walked to the bed and sat down. He looked at Max and asked, “You know what the system’s primary function is?”
“If I’m not wrong, it must have something to do with the Nascent energy or, in other words, the lust points.” Max said after thinking for a moment.
The man looked at him in slight surprise before saying, “That’s right. It’s something related to the Nascent energy.”
The man paused for a moment before continuing, “A long time ago, I was among the strongest existences alive in this world. However, I had many enemies because of the things I had done in the past, and they kept hounding me. I killed a few of them, but they started attacking me in groups, which made it difficult for me to defend myself.
I knew if things kept going like that, I would never have peace. There was only one way to solve the problem, which was to kill all of them, but I wasn’t strong enough to take them on when they were in groups. I tried to attack them when they were alone, but whenever I tried, others would appear to help them.
So, I started looking for ways to become stronger and reach the realm higher than the supreme mage realm, so that I could kill all of them.”
Max furrowed his brows and thought, ‘There are realms above the supreme mage realm?’
The man looked at Max as if he knew what he was thinking and smiled, “Although I never seen or heard someone reach the realm above the nine-star realm, I, for one, believe it’s possible and I even suspect there were existences stronger than supreme mages in the past. If not, where did the spell that cleaved the continent in two came from? It was impossible for it to be a grade nine spell.
However, no matter what I tried, I couldn’t breakthrough to this illusory realm, but I never gave up and kept trying.
Finally, I found some ancient records on the demon continent that proved that it was possible to become stronger than a peak nine-star mage. However, to do that, one needed a higher tier of energy than the nine-star Mana energy to breakthrough.
But the problem was that where can I find a stronger energy than the energy of a supreme mage?
After my painstaking efforts, I found the records of a demon race that was able to combine female yin and male yang energy to create a new kind of energy, the Nascent energy.
Although the people of this demonic race weren’t stronger than normal mages when in early mage realms, after they reached later realms, they would be stronger than those in the same realm.
I used those records and did some research and the results were a bit disappointing. Although it was possible to produce the Nascent energy, it required supreme mage’s energy as the catalyst and this supreme mage shouldn’t be the owner of either the yin or the yang energy being used.
This was a very big problem because why would a supreme mage stand there while you were having sex and help you harness the Nascent energy.
So, I decided to make something that can help me harness this energy and with a stroke of luck, I managed to make this system. I only needed to destroy my cultivation and give the system to someone who can use it give me the Nascent energy to cultivate again.
However, before I could find someone to do it, my enemies found me and I was almost killed. I took shelter somewhere and to prevent myself from dying, I used a formation to go into hibernation and using the last bit of my remaining strength, I sent out the system so it could find itself a host.
