When the subsystem sent that message, the essence in Lie Wei Ying's body was being put to good use by O.P.
He was currently basking on a mountain, and at this point it was both real and fake. It was as if everything inside the systems O.P. world was becoming plastic for O.P.'s desires. This was especially true for Lie Wei Ying's core, which was currently generously sharing its insights with O.P.
The diamond-ice mountain's essence was like a pill of clarity. Since O.P. was a part of Lie Wei Ying, as was S.O.P and the new subsystems, they were all coming down with clarity and realizations.
For instance, S.D.S, the sub death system, was thinking about his aspirations at becoming the ultimate cook! He'd been studying on the side on how to make the perfect meal to level up his masters to the next level. As of right now, while Lie Wei Ying was fighting a tumultuous battle, he was waiting for the day he'd be able to grant Lie Wei Ying a recipe that was both delicious and powerful!
The pig in the O.P. world was different though as that pig was S.G.S. He was frolicking in the field and only wished to be one of the first system fathers! He was a pig, and as an animal, he wished to be able to mate with everything!
His brother, the primal independent gaming system, had the same desire, and it was why he made the game have a harem component!
They became an independent system, too, so that he'd be able to meet a great scientist inside of it who could create a body for him! As a pig, nothing was more fun then having pigs to make pigs with, and he oinked like a happy pig in the grasslands. The castle was next to him and occasionally he'd go inside to check on the sub death systems cooking, and he would eat it and drink tea in their tents.
Yes, they were becoming good friends as O.P. and S.O.P. were once again on the mountain. Be that as it may, even the pig was sensing the force in the atmosphere. He oinked once again and plopped down folding his short legs into a meditative stance.
….
"Hmmm, O.P. you must channel that feeling into your mind!"
The diamond-ice essence was in the air swirling around O.P., but for some reason it didn't truly acknowledge him yet.
It was the exact opposite, sort of, and it even attacked him as he tried to use it. Despite that, this battle of essence versus the O.P. system was useful for him. With blood shot eyes he focused on the feeling of the essence, and finally screamed before a bright light surrounded his body.
"Boom!"
O.P., even though it was unnecessary, slammed his hand down onto the mountain causing a canyon to appear where the mountain once was.
He huffed and puffed before his hair started to fly up and shine with a bright white light. It was at this moment that he reached level 3, and with a pat on his chest his arms and legs seemed to transform from illusive to real.
"Hmph, aren't you going to say something, S.O.P." O.P. imagined he'd get something like "Congratulations on leveling up to system level 3" However, S.O.P was quiet as a snail trying to hide from the tide of the sea.
"Uhm… I'm sorry but you aren't my master, O.P… However, I think soon no one might be…"
O.P. was confused and didn't understand what S.O.P. was talking about. "What do you mean? I'm doing this for Lie Wei Ying, but… I'm not going to leave him S.O.P even if I'm real!"
S.O.P. shook his head and then pointed at O.P.s arm. "You're starting to become real…. O.P…. If you keep contemplating and reach level 4… Lie Wie Ying will no longer be able to support your system…"
O.P. looked down and noticed that S.O.P. was in fact for once right! He was starting to look different from Lie Wei Ying and his real body was almost complete. However, at this time, the immense strength he provided Lie Wei Ying was beyond terrifying, and he didn't even realize it. Before, when he was level 2, Lie Wei Ying noticed he had some sharp improvements, but it was not nearly as drastic.
….
On the red sand battle field, Lie Wei Ying started glowing as he achieved system evolution resonance. He had glowed with a profound yellow light before his eyes started to shine as did his mouth and ears.
When they were battling, whatever that defiance was, it seemed to find a way to always predict their moves! It was like Lie Wie Ying had his desires fulfilled no matter what the cost. If it was any other way, the golems might have done what their master wished, and sunk him down in pride and stature.
Regardless, they could only back away and activate an array to increase their power.
….
"Congratulations, your system has reached level 3. Potential Drive has increased by 3000%"
"…."
"System had never explained Potential Drive, but it allows for increase in ability to learn, and grow stronger. It is now estimated that you can reach the monogod stage in less than 50 years."
At this moment, In Lie Wei Ying's body, it felt like an insane force was there that wasn't present before. His now teenager body, which was approximately thirteen years old, was one of the best times for him to get increases in body and mind.
Basically, even though people said youth was important, being a teenager was important too! It was at this time that his mind was restructuring itself, and he felt the urges of adulthood for the first time. Regardless, with his torn shirt on his much taller body, he called forth a sword of 'defiance' and flew at the golems.
They seemed afraid as all the light in the atmosphere seemed to coil around him because of his speed. At 20,000 times the speed of light, he was now almost too shocking to behold. Currently his shocking speed was 1/1000th of what a monogod could achieve. Charisma could only drop his tea cup in admiration for the monster he was creating.
With a sigh, he recalled the golems causing Lie Wei Ying to slam into the scorched earth.
He looked up from the dirt, and with his head full of sand, felt himself falling asleep.
