“System, show me my status.”
Name: Chu Mo (Chu Yunfan)
Sect: Blood Asura Sect (former)
Cultivation Realm: Profound King Realm.
Status: Severely Injured, on the verge of death.
“Is my name Chu Mo in this life? So be it.” Then, Chu Mo asked the system what it could do. And the answer he received is that the system can devour anything and help him heal his injuries and cultivate faster.
“Is that all?” asked Chu Mo.
“The system was injured in the process of transporting the host’s soul to this world. As such, a few of its main functions are temporarily unavailable,” replied a cold and monotonous voice.
Chu Mo nodded as he did not care that he had to devour other people. In his previous life, he was always bullied because of how weak and soft-spoken he was.
Whether it was in preschool, junior high school, and even college; his roommate would force him to his lackey. Even back home, his parents treated him like shit, always favoring his younger brother and sisters.
So, after his death, Chu Mo not only did not have any attachment to Earth. Plus, before dying, he made an oath that if there was a chance, he would leave his life doing whatever pleased him; he would never let anyone walk all over him again.
“Since I’m already a demonic cultivator, I will follow my oath before dying. I will this world know my name, and make them respect me. I will be the greatest demon to ever lived.”
After saying this, a look of determination flashed across his eyes. Chu Mo then focused on his status bar. He was very happy with his cultivation level. From the memories he received from this body, he knew that the Profound King Realm was quite high and only a few realms from the top powerhouses of this world. Not having to start from scratch pleased him greatly.
When it comes to his status, he understood why it said former. Most likely, the Asura Blood Sect was destroyed by the righteous sects, making him lose his status as one of the Heaven Chosens of the sect.
Chu Mo at first thought that such a high status might be beneficial to his cultivation path. However, thinking about how to explain how he was brought back to life might cause more trouble.
Plus, with a system, he did not have to worry about resources and cultivation.
Now, the only issue he was facing was his injured state. Chu Mo tried to get up but felt a terrifying pain all over his body but he did not scream. To him, this injury was terrible but he had once come close back on Earth.
“System, can you help?” asked Chu Mo.
“Host, with the current state of the system, it is required to touch something before devouring it.”
With great difficulty, he moved his head to look at his surroundings. The bodies of many of his fellow disciples were scattered in the forest. Before the death of the previous owner, hundreds of righteous sect cultivators besieged him and the other people.
After the battle, all the demonic cultivators were dead along with many from the righteous sect. However, it seemed that the bodies of the righteous sect people were taken away for burial.
Be that as it may, Chu Mo knew that he couldn’t move to the closest body to him for absorption. Thinking of this, he immediately thought of another solution.
“System, can I absorb energy from the ground?”
“Yes.”
After placing his hand on the soil, Chu Mo felt a devouring power coming from his hand, then a powerful energy entered his body and repair it. Whether it was his muscles, bones, organs, and meridians.
In the process, the surrounding ten meters around him turned from the vivid green to a gray and lifeless color. Once the process finished, Chu Mo’s injuries had healed to the point he could move now.
So, he walked to all the bodies of the demonic sect disciples and devour them. Soon, all of them dried up like mummies before turning into sand particles that scattered with the wind.
After the process was finished, Chu Mo returned to his peak state, with no injuries whatsoever. Suddenly, he heard a beep sound in his mind.
“Detecting system to have absorbed enough energy… Commencing minor update… Loading…23%…76%…100%.”
Chu Mo discovered that another update was made to his status bar.
“Devour Points: 3840.”
“What is the use of the devour points?”
“Devour Points can be used to strengthen the body, soul, cultivation, heal, and other functions based on the host desire.”
Chu Mo nodded in satisfaction at the fact that he had more control over how to distribute the energy that the system absorbed. As a transmigrator who read countless novels, he knew how dangerous some systems with intelligence are.
However, so far, his system seemed to be the unemotional one similar to A.I.
Chu Mo then checked his cultivation and a frown appeared on his face. He discovered that he could only control a small portion of the massive profound energy inside his dantian or Profound Sea.
“System, what is going on?”
“The host’s mind is not adept at controlling profound energy. As such, necessary training is required to perfectly control the cultivation level of the previous body.”
“How long will that take?”
“Calculating…7 years, 3 months, and 18 days.”
“So long? Then, can I use Devour Points to accelerate the process?”
“Devour Points can be used to boost the host’s spiritual energy and make it easier to control the strength of the body.”
Chu Mo nodded in satisfaction before deciding to find a safe place before beginning his training.
Meanwhile, in the sun, Wang Wei’s gaze was fixed on Chu Mo the entire time.
“It seems my experiment is successful.”
Of course, Chu Mo was not reincarnated. Wang Wei just chose a body whose soul has not yet fully scattered, gathered the missing parts, and reassembled them back together.
Then, he created false memories of someone living back on Earth and made sure that these memories served as the dominant ones. He even gave him a backstory that will make it easier to cross.
As for the system and devouring power, that’s only his spirit particle, and the use of the Gluttony Swallowing Scripture.
The reason that he went to all of this trouble instead of just forcibly taking over someone else’s body was to avert the detection of Heavenly Dao. He even used his new understanding of Karma to cut off the connection of the spirit particle to him so that no one can trace it back to him.
If someone were to search Chu Mo’s soul and discover the particle, they would think that it was either a product of his soul mutating, or some kind of powerful artifact.
Unfortunately, doing things like this has its downside. Chu Mo is now a real person with his own thoughts, ideas, and goals. So, as long as he discovered that Wang Wei was the puppet manipulating things from the shadow, he will revolt.
To plan for this possibility, Wang Wei will make sure that Chu Mo relied heavily on the system without being suspicious. This is the reason that he made up the excuse of him not being able to control his cultivation level, forcing him to rely on devour points to solve any problem he has.
Wang Wei’s gaze then focused on Zhou Shu, the righteous disciple that he chose. The latter was currently in deep mediation inside his inn.
‘Ten years later, the Demon Lord will begin his conquest of the entire continent. The attack was so sudden that no one was prepared, no one had even heard of an existence called the Demon Lord.
‘At that time, I was weak and watched my master, junior sister, and sect be destroyed. I did not even survive the first wave of attack. But now that I was lucky to revert in time, I can change that.’
Zhou Shu first thought of killing the Demon Lord before he became powerful. Unfortunately, he did not know his identity. Plus, with his current weak self, he did not think he had a chance.
‘So, the best method is to use all the information I have in my head about future fortunate encounters to rapidly raise my cultivation level. As long as I become strong enough, I can easily kill the Demon Lord.’
Zhou Shu’s eyes became more determined after thinking about this.
‘The closest encounter to me is the Vermilion Fruit in the Lavender Sun Forest. Previously, it was discovered by a disciple of the Gentlemen Poem Sect; that disciple bragged about the fruit so much that even I knew how he acquire it.
‘With it, I should be able to breakthrough from the Profound Grandmaster Realm to the Profound King Realm.’
After making a decision, Zhou Shu left the inn after talking to his junior sister and headed in the direction of the fruit.
Meanwhile, Wang Wei muttered to himself while watching this, ” I will bleed a little to cultivate you. Hopefully, my returns will be worth it.”
Just Chu Mo, Zhou Shu’s memories were also created. And when it comes to the fortunate encounter that he knows, a lot of them are things that Wang Wei discovered while scanning the world, some of them were things that he will create for Zhou Shu, so they do not even exist yet.
He waved his hand and a puppet appeared in front of him. Then, he gave it a space ring before ordering it to go create these fortunate encounters.
Now that he had finished setting up the gameboard, it was time for him to do his thing. During the battle with Di Tian, he only seriously injured his opponent twice.
And each of those times, he took advantage of Di Tian’s weakness to read his Fate Line to gather information about the latter. Although he only gathered scattered information, it was more than enough to learn a great deal about him.
So, now, he was prepared to review this information so that he can know who and what he is dealing with.
