1366 You never had the option of otherwise, my Dragon.
“So this System you have…”
Vyriana, who was currently sitting on a raised ground muttered as she glanced at Nux.
“Mhm, the source of all my strength. The Secret behind my Dual Cultivation, how I used to have different Bloodlines, why I have so many strange abilities that no one in Yrniel has seen or heard before and, the source of Essence.
All of it is because of the System.”
Nux revealed and Vyriana, who heard everything stared at him in silence, still trying to digest what she just heard.
Nux gave her all the time she needed. This wasn’t his first time revealing the existence of the System to someone, all his wives knew about his system and every time he revealed its absurd existence to them, they all needed time to digest the information they received.
“So you are telling me… that there is a… ‘System’ in his body that could choose any random mortal… and turn him into a… monster like you…?” Vyriana questioned, staring at Nux as she tried her best to stop her worldview from being destroyed.
This, however, was easier said than done.
“I am probably the tamer version of the Monster of what the System has the capability to create.”
“What do you mean…?”
Vyriana narrowed her eyes.
Soon, however, she realized the truth. Nux’s powers depend on the women around him. He simply needed to find a stronger woman and once he does, breaking through is only a matter of time.
Thinking about things from this angle, then Nux had the capability of becoming a Divine Stage Cultivator when he was merely 20 or 30, spending 100s of years training here was… “Heh.”
Suddenly, Vyriana laughed out loud.
“A Monster far more monstrous than you, huh…”
She commented.
Nux nodded.
He knew he didn’t use his System to its full potential, with the features his system provided, he could have been a lot stronger than his current self if the System was used more efficiently.
Or… at least that’s what Nux thought.
Vyriana, however, had a different opinion,
“You are wrong, Nux.”
She spoke.
Nux frowned, then, Vyriana looked into the man’s eyes and,
“You didn’t use your System inefficiently, if you had, then you wouldn’t be your current self that you are right now.
Sure, you might not be a 20 or 30-year-old Divine Stage Cultivator right now. You are only a 400-year-old Semi Saint, however, the age of the cultivator was the last thing he needs to worry about.
Would you be as strong of a Semi Saint as you are now if you only relied on your System?”
Vyriana questioned and Nux frowned, before he could answer her question, Vyriana continued.
“Your enemies do not care about your Age.
Take Arcturus for example, an 8000-year-old monster was facing a 200-year-old boy, was it shameful? Yes. But did it matter? Did it make him hold back? No.
The same would have been the case if you had used your System in any other way possible. Sure, your cultivation would have been extremely high right now, however, the enemies you would face would have been the same as well and as someone who was given everything by an external entity would have never been enough to survive in such a world.
So Nux, you didn’t use your System inefficiently,
You used it in the most efficient way possible.”
Vyriana spoke and hearing those words, Nux couldn’t help but smile. The more he thought about it, the more he realized it, the Dragon was correct, he was thinking too much about this.
His current self was perfect, he had people he loved, people who supported him in every way possible, people who cared about him and people who motivated him to grow even stronger.
Using the System in any other way would have taken this away from him. It would have taken away what made him. That Nux would have been no different than an empty shell with no soul. A man like that couldn’t possibly have lived for long, especially in such an unforgiving world.
“But the existence of the System…”
While Nux was thinking all this and smiling gleefully, feeling acknowledged, Vyriana spoke up.
He turned towards the Dragon and saw a solemn look on his face.
“The Source of this System…
Do you really not know anything about it?”
Vyriana questioned.
“I do not.”
Nux shook his head.
“I got it when I saw Felberta for the first time.”
“…”
Vyriana turned silent.
“What are you thinking about?” Nux questioned. He could notice the grave look on the Dragon’s face.
“Your System might be from another world,” Vyriana revealed as she stared at Nux.
“And?” Nux, however, just tilted his head in confusion.
“What do you mean, ‘and?’ The source of all your powers is from another world, Nux. Do you realize what this means? You are somehow linked with another world. A world much stronger than Yrniel at that.
What are you going to do once you get in contact with the ones who gave you the System? Are you planning on leaving Yrniel?”
“Huh? Why would I do that?”
“If you are called by-”
Vyriana tried to speak, Nux however, intervened before she could complete.
“It doesn’t matter, Vyriana. I grew up in Yrniel, I have people I care about in Yrniel, there is Mother and then there is You. No matter what, I am not planning on leaving this place, unless, of course, I am kicked out.”
Nux chuckled and Vyriana simply stared into his eyes, clearly not amused by his joke.
Nux didn’t know how to react, for some reason, the Dragon’s stare was making his heart beat loudly, those pair of golden eyes staring at him felt… powerful.
Then suddenly,
“If you are kicked out…
Then I will come with you.”
Vyriana spoke, staring at Nux as her eyes shined intently.
Nux was taken aback by her words, he however, didn’t show that, instead, a big smile appeared on his face, his hand moved towards Vyriana’s cheek and, “You never had the option of otherwise, my Dragon.”
Saying those words, Nux sealed the Dragon’s lips.
