19: Goldfinger awakens

"A Heaven-Grade Spirit Sword, huh..."

Lin Ye took out the Heaven-Grade Spirit Sword from his qiankun ring.

It was pure white, with faint snow patterns on its blade, and an intimidating chill emanated from its edge. It was definitely a rare and excellent sword.

Just as Lin Ye was carefully examining the sword,

the System suddenly spoke in a low voice: "You're tired of the Spirit Sword I gave you, aren't you? I even specially got you twelve of them, just to fill your sword scabbard. And now, out with the old, in with the new. You ignored those twelve Spirit Sword, but you're overjoyed with what someone else gave you."

"Hmm, I know. In the end, our feelings couldn't overcome reality, could they?"

"..."

Lin Ye was speechless upon hearing the System's complaints.

Sometimes, he really couldn't understand what was going on with his System. Back on Blue Star, when he read novels, weren't those Systems purely auxiliary?

His System, on the other hand, not only joked around but also acted like a person in everyday life, throwing little tantrums at the drop of a hat.

Now, it was even acting like a resentful woman.

What kind of outrageous things was it saying? Feelings? He was a Son of Destiny, and a villainous System. What kind of feelings could they possibly have?

Lin Ye remained silent, but the System continued to speak to itself: "Hmm, I know. In the end, I'm just not worthy. Fine, you just wait. I am System Sequence 0000001, do you think I can't beat that vixen? Just wait! I'll be back!"

Ding dong... Your System's fighting spirit has been ignited. It is now leaving to expand its functions.

Countdown ninety-nine percent... Lin Ye was utterly bewildered.

What's wrong, System? Are you really that competitive?

Why don't you tell me first, what exactly is 'expanding functions,' and where did you get that Sign in function from?

In the beginning, this villainous System gave him nothing but a bunch of inexplicable villainous destinies.

After one trip, it brought back a Sign in function.

Now it's going out again?

Lin Ye wondered if his System was going out to rob someone, but what could a System rob? Other Systems?

At the same time,

a Transmigrator in one of the Three Thousand Worlds,

who was secretly rejoicing because his System had given him an explosively powerful Cultivation Technique,

suddenly heard a prompt in his mind.

Warning! Warning! An external System has invaded!

Ding ding ding... Before the Transmigrator could recover from his shock, his own System suddenly went silent. Not only that, after calling out a few times, there was no response from the System.

Only the panel function was usable, and the mall was even directly locked.

"Bastard! Who invaded my System! If I find out who you are, I'll make sure you die without a burial place! Ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

The screams echoed through the cosmos... At this moment, Lin Ye had no idea what great Karma his System had brought upon him.

He began to Cultivate the Cultivation Technique Madam Miao had given him.

The Righteousness Profound Method.

This Cultivation Technique was absolutely top-notch!

It could actually interact with the Human Emperor Scripture, creating a situation where one plus one was greater than two.

His Dao Bone had also been cleansed and embedded into his body.

Now, the power of the Human Emperor Scripture resided in his Dao Bone, while the power of the Righteousness Profound Method filled his Qi Sea.

The two Cultivation Techniques complemented each other without interfering, meaning Lin Ye had truly mastered them.

At this moment, Lin Ye sat cross-legged by the waterfall, constantly solidifying his Cultivation Technique and his Realm.

What he couldn't see was that while he was Cultivating, black Qi was constantly rising from his body, almost condensing into liquid.

Streams of black Qi swirled around him, and an ancient ring on Lin Ye's finger also continuously emitted a faint light.

"Hmm?"

Lin Ye was startled awake by the spiritual energy emanating from the ring, and he frowned slightly as he extended his hand.

He had long been disappointed with the Golden Finger that came with this Son of Destiny.

For others, the Golden Finger would appear during a divorce plot, and then the Son of Destiny would begin their path of conquest.

His own Golden Finger, let alone Awakening, had shown no reaction at all. Otherwise, would he have bound himself to that villainous System?

Buzz... buzz... buzz... The ring continuously flickered with faint light. Suddenly, as the light intensified, an unparalleled figure appeared from within the ring.

As the light grew stronger, the figure also became more solid.

Before long, Lin Ye finally saw the figure's appearance.

It was a woman of unparalleled beauty, dressed in white, which accentuated her figure, only slightly less impressive than Madam Miao's.

Her eyes sparkled with starlight, carrying a hint of coolness, and her entire being exuded an aloofness that kept people at a distance.

Immortal Qi swirled, and Dao Rhyme flowed, truly a peerless beauty. Her ink-black hair cascaded down like flowing clouds, reaching her waist.

Observing her face, she had delicate features, red lips, and white teeth. Even with light makeup, she appeared even more extraordinary and ethereal, like an unblemished white lotus that could not be defiled.

Lin Ye was startled and subconsciously blurted out, "Grandma has Awakened?!"

"Hmm?"

The peerless figure clearly heard Lin Ye's soft exclamation. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly; clearly, she was not pleased with the address "grandma."

"Who are you calling?"

"I'm talking to myself. I'm not calling anyone, hmm!"

Lin Ye wasn't foolish. He knew that back on Blue Star, addressing a woman was a nightmare. You could call them 'young,' but never 'old.'

Although such Divine Souls in rings were generally old monsters who had lived for thousands of years—otherwise, they couldn't become the Golden Finger of a Son of Destiny—age was one thing. If he directly rubbed it in her face, that would be pure suicide.

"Are you that person's descendant?"

"Hmm?"

Hearing the cool voice, Lin Ye's eyes widened: "Which person? Can we not play riddles? Just tell me directly, come on, which person is 'that person'?"

"..."

The woman in the ring looked a bit displeased, but she suppressed her emotions and said, "I had an agreement with that person. Ten thousand years later, I would help her descendant become a powerful expert. You, kneel and acknowledge me as your Revered Master."

"Heh heh..."

Her condescending manner made Lin Ye laugh coldly.

Goodness, I give you an inch, and you take a mile?

And make me kneel and acknowledge you as Revered Master!

What a joke.

"Why are you laughing?" the woman asked, puzzled.

"I'm laughing at your idiocy!" Lin Ye retorted coldly.

"Are you cursing me?"

"Nonsense!" Lin Ye said irritably: "And you want me to kneel and acknowledge you as Revered Master? First of all, I already have a Revered Master. And with your attitude, why would I want you as my Revered Master? Because you're old? Or because you don't bathe?"

"In other people's novels, when the old grandpas and grandmas Awaken, it's either during a crisis or after a life-saving grace. With that kindness, a slightly worse attitude doesn't matter."

"But this is our first meeting, and you're already acting superior?"

"You're so amazing, yet you've still become a Divine Soul. Why are you acting so arrogant with me?"
