Chapter 3: System, You’re 24 Years Late!
The Bai Estate.
System binding in progress: 50% complete…
System binding in progress: 55% complete…
System binding in progress: 60% complete…
The cold, mechanical voice echoed incessantly in Bai Chen’s mind. He remained perfectly still, his eyes shut tight, waiting silently.
As a transmigrator, Bai Chen had held lofty expectations upon arriving in this world. Yet no matter what he did, he found no sign of a “golden finger”—the miraculous cheat that many other transmigrators received.
In time, he had come to believe that his extraordinary talent was his cheat. Even after his martial foundation was damaged, forcing him to retreat from the martial world, he had resigned himself to a quiet life.
But now, against all odds, his cheat had arrived!
For someone who had cultivated to the late stage of the Tianxiang Grandmaster realm over the past 24 years, Bai Chen’s mental fortitude was unparalleled. Yet even he couldn’t suppress the surge of excitement he felt. After all, this was a system—a transcendent power known to every transmigrator!
With its help, he might even repair his foundation and ascend to heights beyond imagination.
“System binding in progress: 80% complete…”
“System binding in progress: 85% complete…”
“System binding in progress: 90% complete…”
System binding complete.
The Supreme Creation System is pleased to serve you, Host!
At long last, after two hours, the system was fully bound.
“System?” Bai Chen tentatively called out.
Ding!
I’m here!
“You’re late!”
This system encountered traffic during the transmigration process.
“Traffic? For 24 years?”
Though Bai Chen chastised the system, his expression betrayed his elation. He confirmed it: my golden finger was real!
“Tell me,” he said, calming himself. “What can you do for me?”
The system responded promptly:
The Supreme Creation System can help the Host fulfil any wish. Be it cultivation, healing, growing stronger, achieving immortality, or even resurrecting the dead—anything is possible.
However, fulfilling these wishes requires a sufficient amount of Creation Energy.
Bai Chen stood frozen, stunned by the system’s grand claims. Even as a seasoned transmigrator, he found himself momentarily speechless.
“System,” he said after regaining his composure, “repair my damaged foundation.”
Ding!
Insufficient Creation Energy. Repair failed.
“What?” Bai Chen frowned. “How do I obtain Creation Energy?”
The system explained:
Creation, in essence, is opportunity. Thunder and rain, blessings and calamities—all are forms of Creation.
From the moment the system bound itself to you, your essence has changed. Going forward, every action of yours that influences the world will generate Creation Energy in varying amounts.
For example: teaching someone martial arts and altering their destiny will earn you Creation Energy. Conversely, seizing someone else’s opportunity, causing their downfall, will also yield Creation Energy.
In short, every ripple you create in this world will grant you a corresponding amount of Creation Energy.
Bai Chen’s eyes gleamed as he processed this.
“So, I can gain energy by influencing others—positively or negatively?”
Precisely. Altering the fate of a single person will earn their contribution of Creation Energy. Changing the fate of an entire city will generate energy from all its inhabitants. Influencing an entire nation will yield the energy of everyone within it.
If the Host can transform the entire world, the world itself will become your source of Creation Energy.
With sufficient Creation Energy, you will ascend to become the supreme being of this realm. Immortality, eternal life, and indestructibility will be yours for the taking.
The system’s words were tinged with temptation; Bai Chen couldn’t deny the allure of such possibilities.
Since arriving in this world, he had yearned for strength. In just 24 years, he had risen from an ordinary man to a late-stage Tianxiang Grandmaster—a testament to his unwavering resolve.
Now, with the system’s arrival, his path to ultimate power seemed within reach. No matter the cost, he would seize this opportunity!
