Chapter 290: Future Plans

When Liam stepped into his room at the inn, he didn’t pause for even a second. He closed the door behind him and vanished instantly.A moment later, he appeared inside his room in Dubai. The warm scent of the luxury suite hit him first and it felt strangely refreshing after spending the whole day inside a forge filled with smoke and heat.

He walked straight to the bathroom and turned on the shower, allowing hot water poured down his body.

He had shielded himself with his telekinetic field during the forging but he noticed that the heat still got to him. The field was strong but it seems like it can also conduct heat.

Or maybe it was because of the lightning that burned at it whenever Liam touched the spear blade during its forging.

Liam felt that this was probably the reason but he wasn’t sure yet. There are still quite a bit of things he’s yet to find out about his abilities and he would gain more in the future. He wonder if he would be able to even get the chance to use them all.

Liam smiled to himself and forced the unnecessary thoughts to the back of his mind.

After a short while, he stepped out of the bathroom, with a towel wrapped around his waist. He dried his hair slowly, staring at the mirror with a calm expression.

"Today was a long day," he muttered to himself quietly.

He dressed up, running a hand across his shirt to smooth the fabric, and vanished again. A moment later, he reappeared in Blackstone City, inside the dimly lit inn room.

He dropped down on the bed with a soft sigh and stared at the wooden ceiling. The silence felt peaceful.

His eyes drifted closed as he replayed the events of the day, muttering to himself, "Today was one of my most productive days."

It wasn’t an exaggeration. He had managed to forge a mid-grade Earth Rank spear on his first attempt with spirit beast material. Even Master Han was on the verge of fainting the whole time.

But while he basked in the happiness of his success, something bothered him slightly.

The lightning. It didn’t feel normal. Maybe he was wrong about it but the essence inside the blood was far too violent.

It was like there was something more to it and no matter how hard he tried, Liam couldn’t shake that thought off.

He frowned lightly and decided to ask the system.

"System, was there anything special about the White Horned Thunder Python’s blood?"

[No but the White Horned Thunder Python whose blood Host acquired was at the Mahayana Realm, with a bloodline that was very close to awakening traits of the Azure Dragon bloodline.]

Liam sat up straight in surprise when he heard this.

"...Mahayana?" He muttered slowly.

"That... was a Mahayana Realm creature? The peak of mortal cultivation?"

The Mahayana Realm was no joke. It was the final step before crossing into the Immortal Realms. Anyone at that level was strong enough to rule the mortal plan they find themselves in. Humans at that realm were treated like living legends, due to how extremely rare they are.

And that was for human. A Mahayana spirit beast was even worse.

Liam leaned back slowly, pressing a palm against his forehead.

"So... I forged a weapon with the blood of something that could probably erase this continent?"

He let out a soft breath and shook his head.

"No wonder the lightning behaved like it was trying to kill me."

He stared at his palm—the same hand he dipped into the blood without hesitation.

He asked again, "System, what would happen if a normal person or cultivator touched the blood directly?"

[Anyone at the Void Amalgamation Realm and below would die instantly after making direct contact. Their bodies would turn to ash.]

Liam froze in shock.

Void Amalgamation?

That was the realm AFTER Soul Formation. A realm where a cultivator condensed their soul and body to prepare for integration. A realm feared for its destructive power.

And even THEY would die from a single touch?

Liam let out a shocked laugh and rubbed his forehead.

"So basically, if not for the system’s protection, I would’ve died the moment I opened the container."

He sat in silence for a few seconds, then a small smile crossed his face.

"...I really am playing life on easy mode."

He stretched his arms above his head and rested back on the bed again. His mind drifted to the System Store. The talent and bloodline specifically.

Earlier today, another thought had crossed his mind, one that he hadn’t given much attention until now.

He had access to bloodlines, talents, abilities, cultivation gifts, and strange powers no one else could reach.

He did not need them, as he had extremely high grade ones waiting for him to fuse them. But there are people that needs those talents and bloodlines. People he can give them to.

And he couldn’t help but wonder, could he buy a bloodline or talent and give it to someone else?

"System, is it possible to purchase a talent or bloodline and give it to another person?" Liam asked.

[Yes, Host. You may give talents and bloodlines to others. However, there are limitations based on universal laws.]

"Limitations?" Liam repeated, already expecting something like that.

[Yes. Talents and bloodlines purchased from a specific universe section of the store can only work on individuals from that same universe.]

[Additionally, until Host evolves or alters the laws of Host’s home universe, bloodlines and talents from the System Store will not function properly on individuals born in that universe.]

Liam raised a brow.

"So if I want someone on Earth to gain a cultivation bloodline or talent... I need to change the universe’s laws first." ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel-fire.ɴet

[Correct.]

"And until then...?"

[The fusion would fail.]

Liam nodded slowly. He wasn’t surprised. The home universe had its own rules—no cultivation, limited cosmic laws, no spiritual energy. Giving someone a talent that relied on qi, Dao it mana would obviously fail.

Still, he wasn’t disappointed.

"Alright," he said quietly, "so it’s possible. Just restricted for now."

He rubbed his chin. He already had people he could entrust with such power. People he trusted, people who deserved it and people he wanted to protect or empower.

But it could wait. He wasn’t in a rush.

One day, he would change the rules of his home universe. And when that day came... he would remake everything.

Liam yawned lightly. The forging today had taken a lot out of him, mentally. It was his first time working with something so dangerous, and while he didn’t show it, balancing the blood with the metal required a level of precision he didn’t expect.

He exhaled softly again andclosed his eyes, drifting off to sleep.
