Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Chapter 243: Leave

Ning got ready to leave. He had been with Hyesi for the last 2 months, and it was reminiscing about the times, but that wasnʼt all they could do.

Ning wanted to settle down somewhere, and Klavis just didnʼt feel like the place. He was treated way too well, almost too well, and that made him uncomfortable.

Living with people who saw him as nothing less than a god was not something he liked. So, he decided to leave Klavis.

”Are you sure you wonʼt stay around for a little longer, Inikaka?” Hyesi asked.

”No, Iʼve made up my mind. I want to go out and settle down somewhere. I have a lot of free time ahead of me that is nothing more than just me sitting around,” Ning said.

”Does it have something to do with the energy gathering thing you told me about?” Hyesi asked. Ning had fully disclosed everything about him. Hyesi was his oldest friend here and he didnʼt want to hide anything from him.

”Yes, sort of,” Ning said. ”I need to gather around 2.3 Quadrillion energy to get everything I want to buy. I can cheap out and buy the things one at a time, but I donʼt feel like doing that,” Ning said.

”Although, I can just get rid of that 1 Quadrillion energy that the system wants as part of revealing the next energy,” Ning thought.

”Oh, so… I donʼt know whether that is a lot or not. How long will that take you to gather?” Hyesi asked.

Ning gave a dry laugh and said, ”Around 2800 years for the 1.3 Quadrillion energy.”

”Wh-What?” Hyesiʼs eyes went wide; he couldnʼt believe the number of years he had just heard. ”Thatʼs… I will be dead by then of old age.” Unless Hyesi could somehow get a better body cultivation technique, he would likely die before that time period was over.

Hyesi thought for a bit and asked, ”donʼt you go to sleep or something? Like that thing where your mind shuts off you said.”

Ning shook his head. ”I canʼt do that this time. First of all, gaining 1.28 Billion energy a day is already hard enough, even gaining 200 Million energy naturally every day is pretty much impossible. Not to mention I will need othersʼ help usually. The only way for me to even get them without any help is through collecting the Qi. If Qi is not available, then I canʼt collect anything.”

”I could try going to extreme locations like volcanos or places like the northern wormhole, but I wonʼt always remain there. When I overexerted my mental power with the Demon serpent, I was gone for only 165 years, but when I woke up, I had 0 energy.”

” The body I have degrades over time, people find it, destroy it when that happens, I lose energy. So I canʼt go without opening my eyes,” Ning said.

Hyesi didnʼt understand what he was really talking about but could see that Ning really had no choice.

”Then… I guess you have no choice but to settle down somewhere. Haha, maybe you can find yourself a wife too. Just look at me, I would be absolutely miserable if I didnʼt have my wife and my children to keep company. You should find someone for yourself too,” Hyesi said.

Ning got lost in his own head as he started thinking about what Hyesi had just said. ”A wife huh? That wouldnʼt be so bad. However, Iʼm not sure I can even have one. Having someone to live life with would be good, but… I donʼt want to lose them. Iʼm immortal, so if I lose someone, the loss will stay with me for eternity.”

Hyesi could understand the sentiment, but not the magnitude of it. Not even Ning himself could understand the magnitude of it.

ʼAlso, he said children… can I even have children? Iʼm energy,ʼ Ning thought.

ʼSpecies? So if I had a beast body, I could procreate with a beast as well?ʼ Ning asked.

Ning thought for a moment and shuddered. ʼYuck, no.ʼ

”So, where will you go? Have you thought of someplace?” Hyesi asked.

”Actually, I have. But that will have to wait a while longer. Iʼm not really in a hurry to settle down right now. I will have to take a few detours before that,” Ning said.

”Oh, where are you going first?” Hyesi asked.

Ning thought for a second and said, ”My disciple. Yes, I will go to her first.”

”Your disciple?” Hyesi asked.

”Yes. Well, I could technically call you one as well, but I didnʼt teach you as much as I taught her. Sheʼs a good kid and will make it big someday,” Ning said.

”I see. I canʼt wait to hear her name ring across the world,” Hyesi said.

Ning nodded and took out a piece of paper before handing it to Hyesi. Hyesi looked at the paper and asked, ”A talisman?”

”Yes, keep that. If you ever want to communicate with me, you can use that talisman to talk. I will get the message directly,” Ning said.

”Woah, this is quite good,” Hyesi said.

”Yes,” Ning said with a smile. ”Let me know if you ever want something. Iʼm just one teleport away.”

”Yes, Inikaka. You let me know too if you ever require my help, okay?” Hyesi said. ”And come here once in a while to meet. You can teleport so it should be easy for you.”

”Haha, sure. Alright, Iʼm leaving now, goodbye Hyesi.”

”Have a good time Inikaka. Donʼt worry too much.” Hyesi gave him a knowing nod; he knew how much his Inikaka worried about other people.

Ning smiled and just waved his hand.

Unlike last time, when Ning was taken away abruptly and couldnʼt say his goodbyes, Ning felt a sense of relief when he got to say goodbye to Hyesi this time.

ʼLetʼs go see what the Starsight bunch are like,ʼ he thought and teleported.
