Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Chapter 896: Death

The gods were gathered in the Sky Godʼs palace to discuss the possibility of peace with the demons that they had been at war with for over a million years.

New Brilliance wasnʼt as influential as her master, and as such, the gods were never reaching a conclusion in their meeting.

Some factions wanted the war to end, some wanted it to continue. New Brilliance however just wanted peace. There had been too many casualties on both sides to keep the war going.

ʼI need to get stronger, as strong as my master was,ʼ she thought.

The group of gods quarreled with each other, mostly about the decreasing Qi in all the different worlds.

Just then, their words stopped as they sensed the arrival of someone. Before they could check who it was, Ning arrived inside the palace.

”Yo! Howʼs everyone doing?” he asked with a smug look on his face.

The gods recognized him immediately, and immediately they feared him. New Brilliance looked at him with wide eyes, remembering the memories of the divination god that called him a natural disaster for cultivators and couldnʼt help but be scared.

”Why are you here?” she asked. ”Are you planning to steal more treasures from us?”

”Treasures? Haha!” Ning suddenly laughed. ”You all think too little of me.”

”Then why are you here?” she asked.

”Itʼs simple really,” Ning said as he looked at all of them. ”Iʼm here to kill you all.”

Just as Ning said that a barrier sprung up trapping the gods. ”I shall rid the world of gods today,” he said.

The gods all stood up in horror when they sensed killing intent from him.

”Wh-why?” New Brilliance asked with clear fear in her eyes.

”I donʼt need to tell you,” Ning said and brought out a spear to perform the first attack.

He sent a slash, targetting one of the gods to the side. The god tried to move away, but the attack reached her first.

Her right limb was lopped off and she smashed into the barrier.

The other gods saw that and got ready to attack. They instinctively feared Ning, but their bigger instinct for them was survival. So, when he attacked, they all attacked as well.

A cacophony of skills landed on Ning, while Ning returned the favor with just as strong a skill. He fought the gods with a single spear in hand and carved through many of them.

The gods fought back, even when wounded. They worked together with the other gods for their own survival and after a long time of fighting, they finally managed to kill Ning.

Ning fell to the ground, his spear and a metal sphere falling from either arm. He had been hit so hard that his nascent souls didnʼt even survive.

The gods watched in awe as the Sage of Ten Thousand treasures, the one called Godkiller, died at their hands that day.

New Brilliance quickly checked for his soul and he had in fact died. She couldnʼt believe it. None of them could.

She then checked his soul space and realized that it had nothing. He didnʼt have a storage ring or even just storage bags.

”Isnʼt he supposed to be the Sage of Ten Thousand Treasures? Where are the treasures?” the gods couldnʼt help but ask themselves.

Black Halo walked up front from amongst the group of gods and sat in front of the dead Ning as he performed a divination on the spot.

”He knew he was dying here,” Black Halo said. ”So, he has left behind a Tomb where he stashed all of his treasures.”

”A tomb?” New Brillianceʼs eyes shined. ”Where?”

”In the Three Jewel continent, there will open a secret realm every thousand years. There you shall find the treasures of the heavens left behind by the killer of gods,” Black Halo opened his eyes.

That was all it took for the gods and everyone that wasnʼt a god to go crazy over the treasures that the Godkiller had gathered for the past 300 thousand years.

”So it is done?” Ning asked Black Halo.

”Yes, senior. They have received the information and so have the common folks. I even told them when the next opening would be,” Black Halo said. ”In a thousand years, the Emerald Continent will be swarmed with people trying to test their luck.”

”Did you tell them about the tickets?” Ning asked.

”Yes, senior,” Black Halo said. ”People have already started searching for tickets as well.”

”They wonʼt find it for the next 500 years, haha,” Ning laughed.

”How did you create such a good fake body of yourself?” Black Halo asked.

”I didnʼt,” Ning said. ”Technically, I have no fake body. You could consider this one fake as well. You wouldnʼt understand, so let it be.”

”Alright, you can go now. Survive for a hundred thousand years and you will be free of this blessing you call a curse,” Ning said. ”I will let you know where to meet when the time comes.”

”I know where we will meet, senior,” Black Halo said.

Ning smiled. ”Well, donʼt spoil me on it.”

The Sage and the Godkiller were dead, so Ning was free to live the remainder of the years as he pleased. He had no more responsibility he had put on himself, and that only made him freer.

So, for the next few tens of thousands of years, he went around the world, going through places he hadnʼt been to before.

After some time, he ended up in a world where the beasts were the ruler and lived in the forest of that world as a hermit.

He spent most of the time just sleeping, but occasionally, he did wake up to go around the forest.

On one of that occasion, he met a cub of a tiger clan that lived nearby. The little cub was nearly in tears and seemed to have been lost in the forest.

”Hey little one, are you lost?” Ning asked.

The little cub was scared to see a human and started crying out loud. Ning didnʼt know how to handle a child, so he could only do a single thing.

He dominated the little cub to force it to stop crying.

”Stop crying,” Ning ordered. ”Whatʼs your name?”

The cub finally stopped crying. ”My name is White Depth Field, master.”
