Chapter 164 Back

Time continued to pass, and a dim, blue light emitted from his body. Many gazes looked at him anxiously.

His family, his women, and everyone in this closed-off world.

"Cultivation, Gifts, doubts, confusion, and all meaningless things. I will find out the truth inside today! I will understand everything as it is. Today!"

He was ready to Awaken.

His eyes twinkled as the past few years flashed through his memories. He was Ace, someone from Earth who had arrived in this world due to the secrets that laid dormant in his self— secrets that he was still quite confused about.

Evis says he was an Eternal who entered this world forcibly, and his mind was just split into two, and one of them was Ace, but at the same time, he couldn't really wrap his head around it. It was so, so confusing.

He remembered being swallowed by the waters of the Bermuda Triangle on Earth and then reincarnating here. After arriving in this world, everything had been confusing. One mystery after another was revealed to him, and one question after another accumulated.

Anyway, he had grown from a simple Null Prince with no Gifts to the him today, the him who had achieved the 5th Stage of Lustful Absorption and was now Awakening.

The blue light spread around him to a vast distance and as far beyond as he could see, there was only a blue, black feeling of something slowly and surely clearing up. But he could also feel it would take some time.

Awakening, what was that really?

He would also come to know of it today.

Briefly, he remembered many times hearing that 'All doubts would vanish if you Awakened.' That made him hope it was all true.

Faces flickered in front of him one by one, faces he could never forget.

He had lost people in this life he adored. His aunt Eva was a regret he could only bear with.

He didn't know when but at some point in time, he fell into a daze as his memories and everything grew fuzzy and blurry. It was an extremely comfortable void of Lust and greed, of anything that would confuse the rational mind.

And in that fuzzy place, he experienced both of his lives once more. He met people, he saw his choices, and he saw the changes he had gone through. He saw everything that made him the him today.

He was a ruthless man of no wishes at one point as Ace, barely living to pass his boredom with extreme stunts. He had met many people in that life, too, but now, unlike till the moment he began his Awakening attempt, those faces were blurry.

Then he saw this world's life. No longer Ace, he was Harry. The man who loved and was loved by his family. A man who grew out of his shell through Disasters and illusory heartbreaks. A man who had been faced with eldritch Horrors as the eyes of heaven looked down upon him.

A man who had indulged enough in Lust that he now knew it to be one of the most cherished moments in his life.

As a spark of consciousness and emotions awoke in him, Harry opened his eyes.

He was on a beach now: the bright glare of the sun blasted against the sand while waves crashed against the shore. On the side, crashed on the ground was a wooden boat, broken and cracked. The wind gently lifted his hair, making his blurry mind clear up.

'A beach?' he groggily thought.

He was atop a wall, right? Just Awakening?

Confused, he then looked around him. Behind him was a huge coconut forest, while above was the great blue sky with white fluffy clouds. Some birds flew around in the sky, while in the distant sea, he could see some... dolphins jumping around.

He shook his head to clarity and looked at his hands; they were sticky with wet sand and even his eyes stung slightly; some must have gone into his eyes too.

"System," he called out.

[Yes, Host.]

It answered, and he took a deep breath.

"Where am I?"

[Host, the system had been active for the last three hours when you were unconscious here and had already done a basic scan of you and the surroundings to come to some major conclusions.]

"What are those?" he groggily asked and stretched his body.

He could feel that he was much stronger than earlier.

It felt as if he could destroy the whole world if he so desired.

[Host, be ready for the truth.]

Harry shook his head. "I have been ready for years."

[You are currently on Earth, on a hidden island near the Bermuda Triangle, and everything till now has been the 'Inheritance Initiation Event']

Harry snapped his fingers, and a mirror popped up in front of him.

Black hair so long, it fell to his butt. Eyes so dark they could penetrate the abyss, and caramel skin adorned in a well-fitting ancient white robe he had never seen before.

"I am on Earth?" he calmly asked.

[Yes.]

"Did I fail the Awakening?" he grew a bit curious. He wasn't really worried about finding his way back home.

[No, the Host has successfully woken up.]

Harry was stunned and looked up at the black screen flying in front of his face. "For real?"

[The Inheritance Initiation Event is the process of throwing the possible Host of the System into a Dreamworld with complicated tasks to fulfill. And if the Host manages to Awaken to the Sixth Stage of the given cultivation system—in the host's case, Gifts—they will wake up to reality.]

"So... you are telling me that I have been in a dream, and now I am finally awake because I managed to reach the Awakening Stage?" Harry wryly asked, feeling his scalp tingle.

[That is true.]

Harry looked around him with a blanching face. "Then what about my women, my family?"

[Host, please think about the people you have met on Earth that were blurry when you were Awakening.]

Taking a deep breath, he thought about the people he had never cared about when he was on Earth.

On Earth, who was Ace's Mother?

His heart immediately skipped a beat.

It was Emma.

Ace had a sister. She was Lilly.

He had an Aunt named Eva.

He had a wife named Anna, who was once his maid. He had children with her, and that was Evis.

And the rest of his babies in the Other World were the only ones not here, but he got to know from the system that they would be the same people who will be born if he impregnated Lilly and Emma again.

He had a Grandmother named Valeria, too.

[All the people in the Dreamworld were people from Earth, but the Initiation Event hides it from the Host and the System's AI, so only now could we understand it. Moreover, the people I mentioned should have also gone into the Dream alongside the host and will retain everything that happened there in their memories.]

"Damn!" Harry cursed.

So he had just been asleep and dreaming everything? n-)0vεlB1n

[Every one of the people the Host fantasized about in his whole life became the source of Dreamers who we sent to the Dreamworld. And now, the dream is over, and the Host has won the Ability to be the owner of the System. The Flowing Blood of Eternals.]

Harry shook his head and couldn't help but think he was going crazy.

"So here on Earth, all my family is waiting... and Eva is not dead..."

He couldn't help but clench his hands.

"So what about you? What are you, System?" he asked.

[I am the Inheritance left behind by the Eternal of Deep Seas in the Bermuda Triangle, and since you drowned there, you gained a chance to claim me, and since you Awakened to reality, you claimed me.]

"Damn, it really had been a lot more confusing than that... so what is my stats now?"

"So I even inherited this Deep Sea person's Cultivation?" Harry licked his lips. Really, today was a bountiful day.

[Yes, you inherited everything from the Eternal of Deep Seas. Even your clothes are his, and there are also all his memories sealed in the system, which you can look into whenever you want to.]

"So, what does he want of me?" He asked. There must be a reason for an immortal to die and leave behind their everything for someone to inherit.

[The Eternal hoped you could murder the Eye of Chaos: the fusion of the Eye of Disasters and Blessings. The Strongest Eternal Creature.]

Harry grew thoughtful. "The Eye murdered Deep Seas?"

[Deep Seas was injured by the Eye but escaped by sheer luck to leave behind the inheritance.]

"I am now just as strong as Deep Seas was in all aspects?"

[Yes.]

"So I am no match for the eyes..." Harry sighed.

[That is not true since before the Eternal of Deep Seas escaped, he stole a piece of the Eye with many of its Gifts and Abilities and also its Biological information, so you can stand toe to toe against it using its own power even though you are not as strong, and if you win, you can absorb it and become even stronger than the Eye itself.]

"So I was built in the hope of vengeance by a man dying..." Harry shook his head and looked around. 'It is good that he doesn't force me to fight.'

[Yes, Host, it is totally up to you.]

'But it is bad that I am a bit greedy for power. Strongest in the world? Come, let me eat you!'

A second later, he vanished.

Come to think of it, there were many hints leading to this End, the name of the 6th Stage-Awakening, in itself was a hint. He just wakes up.

Not to mention the inconsistencies here and there in the dreamworld.

He had to think more about it.

But not now. Now... he wanted to indulge.

He reappeared in his sister's bedroom. A dark, modern room with a nice ambience.

She was asleep.

He climbed the bed and, as she opened her eyes in surprise, cuddled with her. She was a bit stunned at first, but the memories had already returned: She now knew everything about her brother and herself. She was not hesitant at all, and they soon melded into each other.

Moans rang out fervently followed by chuckles.

He was now an Eternal before he even knew it. But his love for his sister's cute cuddles had never changed.

Nor had his extra favor for her.

As for the more complicated things?

Fuck them, he had an infinite lifespan to think of it.
