[Good day to you, host. I am Goldfinger. Due to the host's unique situation, Goldfinger has been specifically assigned to assist you.]
'Where the hell have you been all this ti? Do you know how long I suffered in this dark, cold, and lonely place?!'
Although this was what Albion wanted to say, he refrained from doing so. Blaming others for his own misfortune was the first sign of immaturity.
He should be grateful that he now has Goldfinger with him.
"I see, so what can you do for ? No, before that, who did you say you were assigned by?"
Albion had a look of curiosity.
The Dark Emperor's mories did not contain information related to existence like the system. As such, the systems should be sothing that existed outside of the Nine Divine Heavens.
[Host does not—]
"Hold it right there. I have read too many system novels to know what you are going to say next. You are going to say that I do not have enough my authority or level is too low to peruse the information to such questions, right?"
[…Yes.]
Albion wanted to rub his temples, but he was still immobile.
"Never mind then. So, what can you do for ?" He asked.
Goldfinger did not explain. Instead, a ga-like interface only Albion appeared in front of him, listing a set of personal information.

=====
Etc?
Looking at the string of information, Albion almost choked on his own spit. He knew the Dark Emperor was a big bad villain, but the list of aliases exceeded his expectations. Even Goldfinger did not bother to list them all.
Moving on, so information really stood out on top of others.
"Possessor of 10th Tribulation Lightning? What does this an?" Albion asked.
[Exactly as it sounds like. The 10th Tribulation Lightning currently resides within the host's body. The host cannot see due to the host's soul being too weak to perform the simplest self-introspection.]
Goldfinger explained.
"I see."
Albion nodded.
The 10th Tribulation Lightning was what allowed him to transmigrate into the alternate world and take over the body of the Dark Emperor, who happened to be undergoing his Heavenly Tribulation.
"What is the 10th Tribulation Lightning?"
[Goldfinger does not possess enough accurate information to give a conclusive answer on the 10th Tribulation Lightning.]
"Just tell what you know."
[Understood. The 10th Tribulation Lightning is an exceedingly rare phenonon that exists outside the cosmic laws of the universe. According to Goldfinger's databanks, only 3 instances of the 10th Tribulation Lightning have ever been recorded since the universe's formation. Every ti, it only ever appears after the 9th Tribulation Lightning. As such, it has been called the 10th Tribulation Lightning despite not knowing what it truly is.]
"Only 3 instances since the beginning of ti? I wonder what conditions are needed for its appearance…" Albion mulled.
Since Goldfinger lacked information, he would not be able to find its use. This was sothing even the being above the Goldfinger did not know.
He only knows that the 10th Tribulation Lightning is an extrely strong power, capable of destroying a True Immortal.
Albion felt a little helpless when he looked at the and tab that showed a wide range of skills and talents. Unfortunately, they had all been greyed and cannot be used due to the "sealed" status.
The Dark Emperor had acquired many skills and talents throughout his two lifetis, but ultimately, this was still the Dark Emperor's accomplishnt, not his.
The Dark Emperor was the Dark Emperor, and he was him. Although he possesses the Dark Emperor's mories, it did not an he would also possess the Dark Emperor's skills and talents.
Knowing them was one thing, but executing them was another.
'If I want to unlock these skills and talents, Goldfinger seems to be my best bet. But more importantly, I must resolve this problem of immobility first.'
Albion mused with a glimr in his eyes.
If this problem cannot be resolved, then there was no point in sending him a Goldfinger in the first place. What was the point of having skills and talents if you cannot use them? Just to look pretty?
"If I want to regain mobility of this body, what must be done?" He asked.
[There are two ways the host can go about tackling this problem. The first solution is to wait. Even if the host does nothing, the True Immortal Body will continue to nourish the host's soul until it becos strong enough to control the body.]
[The second solution is to spend Divine Energy for Goldfinger to seal the host's cultivation and restrain it to a level the host can control.]
Albion narrowed his eyes at these two options. It appears that Divine Energy will beco an essential form of currency when using Goldfinger.
(324/1000 Divine Energy)
It did not seem like he had much when looking at this.
324 should be representing the units of Divine Energy he currently possessed. As for the number 1000, it should be the limit an early stage True Immortal can hold, according to the Dark Emperor's mories.
This was just his own educated guess. It was not like the Nine Divine Heavens had calculators that quantify Divine Energy into nurical values.
Nevertheless, Divine Energy should be important as there should be no way of obtaining it in the lower plane.
"How long will it take before I can move if I choose to wait?" Albion asked.
[According to Goldfinger's calculations, 100,056 years. But host's Divine Energy is expected to hit 0 within another year if nothing is taken to supplent the body.]
Albion's jaw dropped.
There was no way he was going to wait 100,056 years! But more importantly, Divine Energy had been consud to keep him alive in the absence of food and oxygen all this ti!
Albion was given a great shock at this startling realization.
Goldfinger has given him two options, but in truth, he only has one!
"I will choose the second option."
[Understood. 300 units of Divine Energy will be consud to seal host's cultivation to the early Innate stage. Do you confirm? Y/N.]
"Confirm!"
[Ding! 300 units of Divine Energy has been consud.]
24/1000 Divine Energy remains.
Once the decision was made, Albion could feel sothing taken away from him. But in return, he felt a greater sense of connection to his body like a dislocated bone being fixed. The disjointed feeling was gone, and it felt like he was back in his old body.
He imdiately jumped to his feet in celebration. Two streams of tears of joy flowed down his cheeks. He could finally move like a normal person! So, this is what disabled people feel like after being cured!
At the sa ti, Albion was alerted that so of his talents and skills were unlocked.
[Basic-level Ashura Fla (skill) has been unlocked.]
[Basic-level Regeneration (talent) has been unlocked.]
