Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Chapter 878: Lost in Time

”Right, I did buy a strong automatic absorption technique, didnʼt I?” Ning thought to himself. It had been a while, so he hadnʼt remembered that it was still active.

”I mustʼve reached the peak of what was possible in that previous world, and now that Iʼm here I advanced to the next realm,” he thought.

He was surprised at how fast he was doing it, but then he also remembered how much it had cost him. If he didnʼt even have this much speed after spending over sextillion energy on it, then it would definitely be a scam.

Ning no longer needed to cultivate now that he had the automatic absorption skill, so he walked around the place, looking at the scenery.

Saphandra came out not long after and stayed with him as he walked around the forest. Ning wondered what the significance of this forest was to make it so sacred to the people around here but there was something more interesting he wanted to learn about.

So, he started asking the system various questions about the world.

”All the different worlds here have Qi right?” Ning asked. He had learned that the worlds that did have life in them, and the atmosphere did also have Qi in some capacity.

”Then do they all have an Origin? Thatʼs a lot of Origins,” Ning said.

”Oh,” Ning was surprised. ”Then only a few have them?”

Ning paused. ”What? Then what has the Origin? The sun?” he asked.

Ning couldnʼt help but frown at the answer. He couldnʼt help but wonder how else the world could have Qi in it if there was no origin to create it.

”Where does the Qi come from?” Ning asked.

”Oh, that works too I guess,” Ning thought. Saphandra only listened to the two of them talk as she didnʼt know much about Qi at all. She did understand about Origin, but that too she wasnʼt completely understanding.

”What happened to the Origin then?” she asked after thinking for a bit.

”Right, what happened to the Origin?” Ning asked the system.

When he heard the reason for the nonexistence of the Origin, he was shocked, to say the least.

Even Saphandra couldnʼt help but gasp with her hands clutched to her mouth in shock.

The recounting done by the system had left them both speechless as the story of the past was not one they wouldʼve imagined in their wildest imagination.

The system didnʼt just explain why the Origin didnʼt exist any longer, but it also went in-depth into telling the two why the atmosphere of the world worked the way it did, and in some ways how that event had been the root cause of the war that had torn these lands for so many years.

”I see,” Ning said. ”They were trying to do the right thing, but in doing so they failed.”

”Good people rarely have anything good happen to them,” Saphandra said while she shook her head.

”Can things be changed back?” Ning asked the system. He was very invested in the story he had heard.

”How?” Ning asked.

The system gave him the requirement on exactly how one could revert what had been done. The easy way was for Ning to do it himself, but that required him to have so much energy that he would have to stay around for billions of years without question.

Then the system gave him the other method. This method was very hard and was one that would not come to succeed without luck and fate working as one.

They would need a cultivator of this world to take up the mantle of that which had fallen. The strength they would need would be enormous and the cultivator also had to be the proper candidate.

Ning thought of telling the current world about this knowledge of his so they could do something about it. However, when he remembered the current war-torn world and the reason for it, he shook his head.

”They would instead kill each other to be this very person,” Ning thought. That would be a bad idea.

”I need to think of another way for people to learn this, but just the right people,” Ning thought to himself.

Then, he thought of an idea.

At first, he thought the idea was stupid and was about to throw it away, but the more he thought about it, the more it made sense for him to do so.

Ning thought of doing what he thought in this world, but then he remembered that this was a Sacred place for a few people and thus not many would come here.

So, instead, he needed to do it in a different place. The system found the perfect place for him.

Ning disappeared from this world from the forest and arrived in a different world on a continent that was over 13 thousand kilometers wide and 8 thousand kilometers tall. It was a massive piece of land and in it was a place that had remained untouched as of yet because no one had found it yet.

A Spatial pocket.

Ning entered the spatial pocket with the help of his system and arrived in a wide world that was filled with water sources and vegetation of all types.

However, Ning wanted interested in them at all. He instead looked around to learn in general what he could do with this spatial pocket.

After all, he was planning to make this a Secret realm where he would leave information for the cultivators. ”

I will need the secret realm to be not just indestructible, but also survive for hundreds of thousands of years,” Ning thought. ”Also, I will need to attract people here.”

Ning sighed at how much work he had in front of him.

”I will be needing a lot of resources.”
