[Hey! I have about 5/25 free ebook codes for Ancient being (US codes though) for anyone that wants them!]
“Select ‘No’.” Yin Hu said, his heart rising to his throat.
A suffocating feeling filled his senses as he waited for Jun to give him a proper answer of doing what he said. Any mistake could make the system react in the exact opposite direction they wanted. A slip of the tongue, mistakes, accidents, anything at all to make itself work even if it ant doing sleazy things like forcing the system onto a young girl who could not use it properly.
Just the thought of either girl getting sent to the island terrified him. Suffering for millions of years without anyone or anything at all was a form of torture he would not have wished on anyone much less people he cared for. Worse, if they were stuck with a system that was broken and would ruin their advancents. He could level them up as secondary participants of his own system. That seed safe so far and worked perfectly fine.
Not being a primary though. His system was broken in more ways than he could explain. Everything didn’t work and it constantly ca up with strange new ways to stop him from learning the very basics of cultivation of any type of energy. No mana, no Qi, no power of friendship or anything else for that matter. It was a seal upon him that weighed heavily.
Yin Hu would not allow the girls to suffer the sa fate he had endured for so long.
Jun snapped her eyes shut, trembling from head to toe.
Maybe I over did it.
That thought crossed his mind from nary a second before he banished it like the demon it was. So things were far too important to be easy on. That included their very lives being in danger and the eons of isolation they would suffer if he was not firm on this matter.
This type of reaction is necessary! I need to make sure the girls rember my reaction if they ever get it again.
“I did it. I pressed ‘No’,” Jun said, still refusing to open her eyes.
“Good job. If sothing like that ever happens again, run to . Do you understand?”
She nodded, her eyes cracking just slightly.
Yin Hu turned toward Shui and Rong. Both of them stayed dead silent as the entire thing happened. “Either one of you see anything?”
They shook their heads in unison.
“Good. Sa protocol. Do not. I repeat. Do. Not. Accept. Anything. By the system–”
“System? Letters? Seeing things. She must have been given an opportunity by the administration!” An old male voice echoed around them.
Yin Hu spun on his heels and searched around him. His senses went overdrive to find the owner of the voice, yet like always, there was nothing to be found. His perception was empty and barren of life. “Who is there–”
“Ancestor!”
He turned to find both Shui and Jun ripped out of Rong’s arms and their weapons still on them. Dark portals with jagged edges grabbed onto the girls before he could react, then shut just as quickly as they arrived. Silence was the only thing that remained of Rong’s sprawled form and wide eyes. Yin Hu’s own heart drumd loud enough to drown him of anything that could have spoken.
Sothing in him burned.
An itch in his ridians, and tremble of his core.
The world in its entirety shook, the very fabric of reality struggling to hold itself together.
A fla of irrational rage wrapped around his throat as he extended his hand towards where the jagged rip in the space fabric had been.
Rong scread, staring directly up in the sky. A creature beyond his imagination lood over the world whole, made of stars and thousands of galaxies. It reached from a distance so far away. Death had arrived for the occupants of all heavenly bodies in its path, not just this world but many innurable–
System Protocol Activated!
Universe Paraters Activated!
Heavenly Intervention Activated!
Error…
Error…
Error…
Ability to remove individuals from Inheritance Instance Activated!
Yin Hu paused.
His wrath stilled for a mont as the words burned a blazing golden color to keep his attention on to them. He had no clue what they were supposed to an, but just one line was enough to prevent him from diving into the still jagged lines that constituted the remnants of the rip in the fabric of space.
It’s supposed to be an inheritance of so sort?
He could remove them whenever he wanted with the system's help?
That kind of made sense to him. The system to secondary parties seed fully activated and functional. Only when it correlated to him directly did it stutter and fail ti and ti again.
“M-Master…?” Rong whispered, still trembling on the ground.
“Rong. What happened?” Yin Hu’s voice felt distorted. “You let them out of your grasp?”
“I-I…”
“He couldn’t have done anything to prevent from doing what I please. Not in such a pathetic world. Might as well be trash.” The old voice laughed from behind Yin Hu.
Yin Hu closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Sothing deep within him surfaced and he learned a trait about himself he never expected. He was a vindictive man. Vengeful when it ca to his girls. No one had truly hurt them or taken them from him. Even the Shao Yating incident had been more controlled and under the protection of the She-Devil sword he had given her. There was no doubt that Jun would make it out perfectly fine.
This was different.
He couldn’t reach them without ripping them out of the inheritance instance. An inheritance he had no idea if it was any good or if it was trash just like everything else he had encountered. Or worse, it was good enough that it forced the two of them to ascend to the next realm without him. Forcing them to fend for themselves in a world filled with nukes fighting nuclear wars and they were still what amounted to ants.
Yin Hu opened his eyes and let himself calm down, then he turned around to look at the voice that spoke.
He found an ancient looking man with wispy hair on his head and a long beard that stretched to the ground even as he floated a few feet above it. Transparent as he expected a ghost to be. That was exactly what he expected an ancient monster to look like.
“This world?” Yin Hu said, venturing a guess that the ghost was from a more advanced one. “Even in your state.”
The ghost shrugged. “I’m nothing but a fragnt of what I used to be, but even that is enough to make you and this pathetic Spirit tremble in fear.”
Rong chuckled.
Yin Hu turned back to look at him with an incredulous face.
He watched the young boy go from a trembling ss, to out right rolling on the ground and holding his stomach from laughter. Even the ghost was caught by surprise.
“You! You can’t see it! You’re disconnected from this world!” Rong laughed harder, it sounded painful. “You can’t see what you’ve done. The arrogance of your speech, the doom and destruction you nearly caused everything including yourself–”
“Enough! I am not here to listen to your riddles. Just because you have a little bit of knowledge does not make you my equal little Spirit.”
Yin Hu closed his eyes, his arms trembling and that burning hot pit in his stomach peeking its head. “Rong. Are you saying this thing only has the ability to teleport my girls into his inheritance and nothing else?”
“Has to be or he would be begging for rcy from you had he had the ability to materialize into reality.”
What the fuck!? Is this just another weak bounty hunter that overestimates itself? Except now I got to deal with fucking ghosts too!? When the hell will this bullshit end and who the hell made this hit on my girls?! Imma ss them up the second I find them!
The system pinged him again.
