The shape of the store had turned from a cube into a sphere.
Joanna was still in one of the rooms; she seemed to be asleep.
Green Lady, Tang Ruyan and the others were cultivating in another room.
âIs thatâŠ?â
The lobby in the store became extremely vast. All the items were gone; there wasnât even a counter. There was only emptiness.
!!
There was a hazy glowing figure in the emptiness. It was a beautiful girl with her back against him.
Su Ping looked at her in a daze. He had an extremely familiar feeling from the girlâs back, but he found it hard to believe.
âYouâre back.â
The girl turned around and looked at Su Ping calmly.
Her eyes were like lakes reflecting the brilliance of all stars. Her face was the image of unparalleled beauty and tranquility. She was breathtaking.
She gazed at Su Ping.
This familiar voiceâŠ
Su Pingâs head was ringing. He was dumbfounded.
The voice belonged to the system!
This girl was the system!!
The aura was so familiar that Su Ping thought he was dreaming; however, he was already an Ancestral God, and would easily know if he were hallucinating. Everything was real.
Was that the real appearance of the system?
âYouâŠâ
Su Ping took a deep breath, then said with a heavy and bitter tone, âWhy are you a girl?â
ââŠâ
The girl was silent for a long time, before she said softly, âCanât you be serious?â
âIâm very serious,â Su Ping said, âThis is a very serious question. Please erase everything youâve read from my head.â
The girl asked back, âArenât you curious why I look like this?â
âWhy?â asked Su Ping.
âBecause this is my original appearance,â replied the girl.
Su Ping took another deep breath and said, âThis answer is truly⊠surprising.â
The girl said softly, âI know you have a lot of questions, and I will answer them for you. Now is the time for you to know.â
âHow can I resurrect Little Skeleton?â asked Su Ping immediately, while staring at her.
The girl pursed her lips, as if expecting he would ask this first. She said, âYou searched for the Little Skeletonâs soul in the Chaotic Realm of the Undead. Not being able to find it was the only natural outcome, because you didnât go to the real Chaotic Realm of the Undead.â
âI didnât go to the real Chaotic Realm of the Undead?â
Su Ping felt dazed.
âThe real Chaotic Realm of the Undead was already destroyed. The souls of the living creatures in this world will float for a while and then disappear without a chance to reincarnate, unless they possess other bodies,â explained the girl.
âThenâŠâ
âDonât worry,â said the girl. âThereâs a Sorcerer Ancestor who can easily resurrect anyone, except for another Sorcerer Ancestor.â
Su Ping asked immediately, âWho?â
âSorcerer Ancestor Shi Mang,â said the girl. âIf you find him, he will help you resurrect the Little Skeleton.â
Su Ping silently made note of the name. He then asked, âWould he be willing?â
He was afraid that the guy would be as short-tempered as the Original Dragonsâ ancestor. If that were the case, it would be useless even if he begged. After all, he wasnât qualified to negotiate or trade with a Sorcerer Ancestor!
âHe would,â The girl put on a smile and said, âHeâs always been obedient.â
âObedient?â
Dazed, Su Ping stared at her and said, âWho are you exactly? Can you talk now?â
âDonât you already know?â
âThe system? Stop joking. No species can develop such an AI, unless you tell me that there are other worlds beyond this Empyrean space thatâs already beyond all other universes. But that would be impossible. This is the end of everything,â said Su Ping.
Once he became an Ancestral God, it became increasingly clear to him that the system was not simple.
The girl chuckled and said, âItâs time to tell you everything. This is indeed where the original point of everything is, and I was the first creature born from the original point. You may call me⊠Mother of Chaos.â
âMother of Chaos?â Su Ping was stunned.
The girl revealed a piece of shocking information. âAll twelve Sorcerer Ancestors are my children.â
Su Ping was shocked. He looked at her in disbelief, but he soon remembered all the powers that the system possessed and everything clicked. No wonder the system could go to all worlds, including the Golden Crowsâ ancestorâs hideout without being noticed . So, she was the Golden Crow ancestorâs mother.
âThen whoâs your husband?â asked Su Ping.
ââŠâ
The girl was slightly surprised by the question. She was the all powerful Mother of Chaos, and she had spent a long time with Su Ping, yet she couldnât really keep up with his train of thought.
âYou wouldnât think itâs the Heavenly Dao, right?â The girl looked at Su Ping suspiciously.
âIs it not?â
Su Ping was slightly surprised. He had truly made that wild guess just then. After all, the Heavenly Dao had slapped the twelve Sorcerer Ancestors in the face. It wasnât hard to believe that it was the twelve Sorcerer Ancestorsâ father.
The girl shook her head and replied, âI didnât create the world of chaos until after I gave birth to the twelve Sorcerer Ancestors; nobody kept track of time until they were born. I had already fallen asleep by then, so nobody knew about my existence. Even the cyborgs merely kept records of some of the Sorcerer Ancestorsâ deeds.â
Su Ping listened carefully and said, âWhatâs the Heavenly Dao, then? If you gave birth to the twelve Sorcerer Ancestors, you must be stronger than them, right? Canât you deal with the Heavenly Dao?â
