Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Chapter 1061: Dual Origins

Ning and the rest flew to the other Origin in the Atlantic, not knowing what to expect at all. The only thing he could ask himself was why it even needed to exist at all.

It was the same planet, so one Origin was enough. Was it perhaps a timing thing where two origins were forming and ended up forming at the same time?

ʼI know too little about Origins to make any sort of guess,ʼ he thought.

They arrived at the next location and once again Ely concealed it with her artifact. The incoming planes and drones would soon notice that whatever light had suddenly emerged had disappeared, and there were bound to be some questions and conspiracies being thrown around.

Ning thought of giving some excuse so the people wouldnʼt be worried later, but for now, he needed to focus on what was in front of him.

Another Origin.

Another small pool of Qi that could be used to—

”Wait, what?” Ning shouted the moment he saw the pool of energy down below him.

”Whatʼs going on?” Ely asked as she slowly moved closer. ”I canʼt sense the Qi at all. Itʼs like itʼs nothing to my senses.”

”Me neither,” Blue said.

”Thatʼs because itʼs not Qi at all,” Ning explained. ”That down there is mana. Holy shit! A mana Origin opened up on Earth as well.”

”What?” Ely was surprised. ”What do you mean mana Origin? How can there be Mana and Qi on the same planet?”

”I donʼt know,” Ning said. ”Iʼm just as confused as you.”

”But…” Ely didnʼt know what to say. She could only hope there was nothing to worry about.

”Look at how much mana is coming out,” he thought. ”It would probably make me stronger than I already am as a mage.”

”Didnʼt you reach the peak as a Mage?” Ely asked.

”Tier 10, yes,” Ning said. ”But that was the peak of the universe where the mana was coming from. In our universe, the peak of mana was actually more around… Tier 8? I think. It had a different system, so itʼs hard to judge. Anyway, judging by the quality of the mana, Earth is probably going to have very strong mages, very soon.”

”Isnʼt that… bad?” Night asked. ”Having so many people emergy with new powers is devastating if we donʼt have a method of controlling them.”

”Thatʼs… not wrong,” Ning said. ”But we canʼt just control people.”

”I think itʼs better to not do anything,” Ely said. ”Let people figure it out on their own. It will certainly take some time for the Qi and mana to reach the countries, and for the people to experience the effect.”

”I do have an idea on how to make people docile, in a sense, without taking away their freedom,” Ning said. ”We will talk about that later though. For now, what should we do?”

”Iʼm going to the previous Origin to cultivate, master,” Blue said. ”Itʼs been years since Iʼve gotten to properly cultivate.”

Night nodded. ”Same for me,” he said.

Ning nodded back. ”Yes, go do that,” he said.

”Then, Iʼll do that too,” Ely said, but Ning stopped her.

”No, I think you should stay here for a while,” he said.

Ely gave him a weird look. ”Why?” she asked.

”Your body hasnʼt been adapting to the mana as well as I wouldʼve hoped it to. Perhaps you were too strong, to begin with, so itʼs taking time. I want you to sit around here so the strong mana here can help you acclimate faster,” he said. ”Once you are done being acclimated, you can both become a Mage and a cultivator.”

Ely thought for a moment and couldnʼt help but agree. ”Sure, that sounds good. I will call my brother here. He would do well becoming a mage too,” she said.

Ning nodded and soon everyone was there to cultivate.

Ely, Ning, Chase, and Sorlus cultivated on the Mana Origin, while Night, Blue, Hi-Ah, and Jung-Hee cultivated on the Qi Origin.

Ning improved steadily, with Chase and Sorlus not far behind. Ely was the only one with no progress as a mage as her body hadnʼt adapted to the mana just yet.

It took 2 months of staying in the Origin before her body had adapted, after which she too started improving more as a Mage.

Sorlus and Chase left the Origin multiple times as there was no reason for them to stay there for too long. However, Ely stayed there at all times.

After some time, they started approving more and more people to come to the Origin. Chaseʼs girlfriend and Jung-Heeʼs girlfriend were allowed to visit the Mana Origin.

Ning also brought his grandmother and uncle to the Qi origin where they slowly cultivated to reach Immortality. Once they were Immortal, Ning would have nothing to worry about anymore.

Ely switched from one Origin to another, while cultivating both energies at once. The others did so as well, but no one seemed to be as dedicated as her.

It was almost as if she was trying to make her forget about her worry about her unborn child. However, even if it worked for the first few years, it was soon filling her with worry once again.

Perhaps, the only solace here was the fact that her belly was in fact getting bigger by the year. Now, she could even tell the gender of her own child.

Ningʼs worries were not any less than hers, but he had been able to hide them much better. He instead helped the world in the following years by helping them in a way they wouldnʼt have expected.

The people were all agitated about being strong, but never being able to use their skills properly.

So, together with the various world government, he released virtual reality technology where people could go in to use their skills. Others would work on spinning that concept however they wanted to.

With that, the world would calm down enough so that Ning didnʼt have to worry about wars again.
