Chapter 116: Question and Answer

"Wow! Are those gods Higher Divinities? And, how can we get the blessing?" Mike asked with an astonished expression on his face.

He was really shocked by this information.

"Yes, Gods are generally Higher Divinities. But, it is hard to reach that realm. Even with my talent, I am not sure whether I can reach it or not. Not to mention, other gods won't let me reach that realm. As for Blessing, I don't think that's suitable for you." Mad Beast Emperor spoke with a sad expression on his face.

"Why? Isn't blessing good?" Mike asked in confusion.

"Of course, Blessing is good. But only good for people who can't awaken Spirit. You see, not every person on earth wants to choose the hard route. In fact, nobody wants to choose the hard route. That even includes you and me."

"But, sometimes we are just forced. And under such conditions, we surrender ourselves to someone else's. Blessing is a kind of Inherited Will. If you receive the blessing from a god, you will become his faithful servant."

"Many people do not understand this. Even if they do, they won't choose this path. They simply want to cultivate faster. This is very fatal for humanity. Since humanity is supposed to awaken the Spirit. Do you know the history of Ascending to Godhood?"

When he was asked, Mike thought for a moment with his hands on his chin and replied "I heard that Ascending to Godhood was created by the help of all three thousand races across the world."

"That is not the correct answer. It's true but not correct. Ascending to Godhood was created by the Universal Spirit for humanity." Mad Beast Emperor's answer was like a thunderbolt to Mike. He was shocked upon hearing those words.

"How can it be? How could other races help humanity?" Mike found it overwhelming. He naturally feels hatred between other races and humanity. So, how can they help humanity?

"Of course, they won't help us. But, things are a little different. When the first group rose from adversity, it was for evolving the universe. When the universe was evolved, the universal spirit was created. Upon its creation, it was going to evolve everyone and set the rules of cultivation."

"But, a person or rather a human from that group asked the universe spirit not to evolve humans. It was hard to understand his meaning. But an entire group wanted other races to evolve because they come from one of those races."

"There were around a hundred people of different races in that group. Each of them had the highest mastery of several spirits, strong bodies, and souls, and more importantly, they came from different races. So, when others evolved, humans remained constant. But that human had another idea for humanity."

"He asked Universe Spirit to build a virtual reality world that can help humans grow through leveling system,. It was the first universal-level virtual game. It had almost everything. And, other races were used as stepping stones for humans to grow stronger."

"Thousand years passed, but none of the humans awakened Spirit. Instead, they started drowning in arrogance and pride while respecting and praise strong. Soon humans are useless in war. The level system developed to improve their soul and body made them nothing but a brawling fighter."

"At this moment, other races got a chance and made many terms with the Universal Spirit. They want humans to evolve and follow the cultivation path. And doing so, humans were evolved and they started following the cultivation."

"Many of them also used the blood of other creatures and grow stronger. When they reach the Higher Divinity, humanity started praying to these gods. At this moment, other races were finally able to turn the tables. Now, humanity serves another human and so they can never awaken their Original Will, and even if they can, it would be almost impossible to improve it."

"The human who asked universe not evolve us could only watch us fall in monster's trap. Slowly, we realize our mistake but until then everything was already done. Due to the monsters terms, the entire universe is a game now."

"Humans and Monsters turned into NPCs. The universe was split into several sections. At that time, primitive human-made some other changes. Due to his status, nobody could blame him. He separated the world based on power."

"Those who are not evolved won't be accessed by other evolved creatures. This slowly turned virtual reality into true reality. In fact, the world we live in is a world overlapped by virtual reality. Divine Fire Continent and Nine Elements Galaxy could be found in the real world."

"Due to the separation made by the primitive human, the universal spirit changed the reality into a virtual reality where you can't tell what the difference is. There are many things I can't tell you here. And many things that I can't understand myself."

"But, remember what you see might not be true. But you believe in what you see. So, start believing in something that you hadn't seen with your eyes because that might be reality. Of course, you can access the virtual world through servers all around the universe."

"The stronger you get, the more you will discover. One day, you might even be able to find that primitive human. For now, there are no benefits to knowing too much. Just remember, if you serve someone, you won't be able to improve your spirit." Mad Beast Emperor made Mike feel in deep contemplation.

He found it hard to believe. In fact, he was told that the virtual game was created by other creatures. It seems, other creatures did make it but only the difficulties for humans, not the game. 

'Wait a freaking minute! If I am living in this kind of messy world, then am I having my harem correct? What if Jenny, Lauren, Sunny are virtual? What if Luke's death is also virtual? No wait, it's not possible.'

'This world can't be virtual. If it was virtual, then the system wouldn't exist inside the virtual world, right? After all, the universe spirit created the world, so how could it let the entity as mysterious as the system to live in this world?'

'But on another hand, this system doesn't have anything to do with my cultivation or strength, at least not directly. So, what exactly is this system? Is it something less powerful than this universe or is it something more powerful?'

'But, it did bring me back to life,.... didn't it?' Mike asked himself with doubts.

"Ahhhhhhh!" But when he was thinking deeper about the system, pain struck his nerves. A screaming made Mad Beast Emperor and Daniel shout "Boy!" "Young Master!"

Thud!

Without any further movement, Mike directly fell unconscious and landed on the ground. But, he was truly unconscious. At this moment, his mind was somewhere else.

In front of him, everything was white. It was the same as when he first swallowed the Bodhi Leaf. But this time, nothing changed, only a voice resonated throughout this white place.

"Oh! So, you finally dug deeper into your brain. You really don't use your brain on a regular basis, do you?"

This voice was very familiar. When Mike heard this voice, both of his hands covered his face as he crouches down. In an instant, the unknown sweat covered his face. The entire body started sweating. Mike barely stayed like that for a minute, until he got up.

At this moment, his face was revealing utmost excitement and shock as he shouted "You are that person. You are the one who reincarnated me into this world."

"Indeed! I am the one who reincarnated you in this world, filled with adventures, superpowers, and women. Well, every world has women." The voice sounded again. But this time, a figure appeared in front of him.

This figure was very handsome. He had a whitish pale complexion. His black hair was long like a cultivator. He had an ancient Chinese fan in his hand. He was also wearing a white shirt and white pants with blue stripes on them.

It was very ancient and belongs to the cultivation world without a doubt. His eyes were crystal black.

"But, why couldn't I remember you at the beginning?" Mike was envious of his looks. So, he directly shifted the topic.

"Because I sealed that memory into your brain. You could only access it when you think about the system's existence. But, you turned out to be a playful guy who completely believes in those novels. You thought you need a proper strength to find the background of the system, and so you never tried."

"I can't say whether you are taking this very seriously or not taking this seriously at all. But no matter what, I finally got to meet you after so long. How many years has it been? Eighteen! Oh my god, you made me wait eighteen years."

"But still, since we have finally met, let's not discuss the past." Only when he stopped talking, Mike breathe a sigh of relief. But suddenly, he realized this wasn't his real body.

"Alright, let's get this straight. Are you more powerful than the gods of this universe or not?" Mike directly asked after taking a short imaginable breath.

"What do you think?" The handsome man gave him the proud smile and asked.

"So second question! Are you the God of Sex?" Mike thought for a moment and asked.

"Hey, what about the first question?" The handsome man slaps air and asks.

"Since you didn't reply, I assume you are weaker," Mike replied in a flat tone.

"Hell no! I am thousand times powerful than them." The handsome man replied with an angry tone and then continued "And, I am ....."
