Chapter 565   – New System Upgrades

Miaomiao began reviewing the cultivation method that Adam had bestowed him.

The myth-grade cultivation method, Karmic Seraphim Constellation, was a combination of inner dantian and physique cultivation. It allowed Miaomiao to exchange his good karma with Heavenly Merit to boost his power.

This concerned Miaomiao. Cultivating Heavenly Merit might bind him to the Heavenly Dao of Zenith Heaven. In summary, he would become a slave of Heavenly Dao like the other sages.

Suddenly, a system alert sounded along with a massive notification update. Dion had finally completed rebooting, but she also came with bad news.

Ding

Miaomiao almost vomited blood. This was not something that he had been waiting for.

On the contrary, this update was a disaster. It was the sequel of Pangu Online, the shitty game that had caused the first calamity!

Mu-Nyang wouldn't tolerate this!

"Oh, shit! Go back! Where is the undo button?!"

Unfortunately, Dion didn't listen to him. She continued processing the upgrade and reboot procedures.

Ding

Miaomiao almost had a heart attack. The calamity might happen sooner than he had imagined!

Only 44 years left?!

But this event never occurred in the other timelines!

How?!

Ding

Miaomiao's body jolted as a series of memory flowed into his brain.

The new cultivation method no longer relied on the Heavenly Merit and the Heavenly Dao. Instead, it refined the Heavenly Merit's energy first. Then, the cultivator could consume it to enhance their Seraphim Physique and Constellation Dantian.

The new cultivation method focused on refining karmic threads regardless of whether they were good or bad karma. A cultivator could extract Primordial Yang Providence from positive karma threads and Primordial Yin Providence from negative karma strings without sowing karma with the Heavenly Dao.

However, in exchange for the abilities, the cultivator had to do the Heavenly Dao a favor. They had to donate some of their consolidated planets to Heavenly Dao, aka bringing the worlds in their dantian to the real universe!

The Heavenly Dao was benevolent and generous. It allowed the cultivator to take their time and cultivate. But every one thousand years, the Heavenly Dao demanded one planet as a fee.

The price was steep since the cultivator had to keep donating planets to Heavenly Dao as long as they were under the Sage Realm!

Still, this cultivation method came with astonishing rewards. For every donation, the Heavenly Dao would grant the cultivator two gifts.

The first gift was a Heavenly Fate Core! The power of the Heavenly Fate Core would depend on the contributed planet's power and its usefulness!

Miaomiao could bestow this core to his wives or friends. Then, they would instantly be promoted into the main character!

And the second gift was something illogical. The practitioner's soul and existence would be protected by the Heavenly Dao. Had the cultivator died, they would be instantly revived at the cultivator's chosen saved location!

In short, it was a respawn perk!

He could self-resurrect!What kind of cheat was this?!

Miaomiao was delighted. This cultivation method was something that he had been looking for. He didn't need to submit to the Heavenly Dao, but he could grow stronger with the Heavenly Dao's protection!

Ding

<1. A habitable planet of any size.>

<2. A green planet with nothing but trees, oceans, and nature.>

<3. A planet of any size with a large amount of Life Essence.>

Here came the homework. Now, Miaomiao had another thing to nourish his migraine.

Ding

Dion shut down and rebooted her system again. She didn't even give Miaomiao a chance to question her.

Miaomiao thought about what he was about to do, and he felt bad for the Heavenly Dao. He felt like a rebellious disciple who had been planning to backstab his mentor in the future.

He made a mental note. If necessary, he wouldn't harm the Heavenly Dao. However, hostile sages and deities would never get the same treatment.

After confirming the new power, homework, and deadlines, Miaomiao began using it even though his dantian might not be able to handle Providence Qi.

The negative karma and karma centipedes inside him were reduced by 50%. However, in exchange for the losses, abundant Primordial Yin and Yang Providence Qi flowed to his dantian.

Strangely, his dantian was unharmed. His blood cells worked as if they were additional storage as they stored 99% of the Providence Qi before they transferred the rest to the dantian.

The providence Qi of deities entered Miaomiao's Isolated Training Space. Then, they began to affect the element crystals.

Miaomiao sensed that the Qi could enhance and evolve his elemental crystals. He began directing them to the Chrono Element Crystal, aka the black hole that Xie Tian had been managing.

Xie Tian was delighted when he sensed the nostalgic Qi that he used to have. He absorbed some of them and used his power to refine the elemental crystal.

However, Xie Tian was too efficient. His absorption rate surpassed Miaomiao's Qi transfer rate.

Since Xie Tian handled it too well, Miaomiao accelerated his circulation speed. He limited the blood cell storage to 95% and let the rest to his dantian.

More providence Qi entered the dantian world. This time, Xie Tian couldn't use all of them.

Xu Chu burst into laughter, and she immediately snatched some of the Primordial Yin Providence Qi to herself. Then, she used it to refine the Dark Ice Element to enhance her Sentinel Soul.

Again, Xu Chu took care of the excess Qi. She didn't leave it enough for Miaomiao to nourish other element crystals.

Miaomiao clicked his tongue and glanced at the leechers. Then, he added more power to the dantian world.

This time, he added another 5%!

Xu Chu giggled as she absorbed more. Xie Tian also increased his pace to compete for the food.

However, they couldn't absorb everything.

Finally, Miaomiao got excess energy to use.

He directed them to other element crystals right away. While he was at it, he looked around to find a candidate for the next Dao Sentinel.

His sight stopped at Chang'e, who had been acting suspiciously. Despite being a mortal, she secretly stole a wisp of Primordial Yin Providence Qi!

"Hohoh? You're a woman of many secrets, eh?"

Miaomiao rechecked the mermaid's memory and read her karma. In the past, he only skimmed through it since he respected her privacy. But now, he thoroughly scanned through everything.

Then, he discovered her hidden secret. She had hidden it well.

From the information of her karma of existence, this mermaid was a reincarnated goddess! Her previous life name was also Chang'e, and she was a married woman. She had quite a high status in the Heaven Realm as her husband held the title of the Golden Crow Slayer!Unfortunately, a lustful deity from a foreign land discovered her beauty. He killed her husband and tried to ravish her. Chang'e had refused a deity's advance, and she committed suicide. Then, her previous life's memory was erased by Meng Po, and her soul was reincarnated here to hide from that deity's influence.

Miaomiao learned the identity of the perverted deity through the karma of Chang'e. He was none other than Zeus, a supreme deity of Olympus.

"Damn Zeus. He even exists in a wuxia story. Should I still call this universe a wuxia? Too many western gods are here…"

Miaomiao was also worried if the dead husband of hers might be offended since Chang'e was now his familiar and a cock sleeve. To prevent such a drama, Miaomiao decided to seal the deal and completely own her.

He confronted Chang'e and offered her a deal, "Mermaid, do you want to become a deity?"

The mermaid sweated profusely and feigned ignorance, "W-What deity? I'm just a pitiful mermaid princess!"

"You've been stealing my providence Qi. Only deities can cultivate that."

"I-I don't know what you're talking about!"

She obviously hid something. Although Meng Po had erased her previous life's memory, she didn't remove her previous life's instinct.

The muscle memory might have enabled her to cultivate Providence Qi. Indeed, a reincarnated deity always had the instinct of a deity.

Miaomiao sighed, "I don't blame you if you want to absorb my Qi. In fact, I'm willing to share my power with you if you agree to become my Dao Sentinel and Dao Companion."

"I understand the term [Dao Companion], but what is Dao Sentinel? A security guard? A bodyguard? I know that you want me as your wife, but why a guard? The jobs are mixed up! Do you want me as a wife or a fucking bodyguard? Make up your mind!"

"…"

The mermaid had a point. It distracted Miaomiao for a moment, but he resumed the conversation.

"I want both. Why can't you be my wife and my bodyguard?"

"In short, you're trying to be a pimp."magic

"Well, sort of... Hey, don't distract me! Will you cooperate with me and be my Dao Sentinel? If you do, you can openly cultivate my providence Qi like the others!"

Chang'e, for the first time, had a solemn expression. Her serious face resembled a character from Hirohiko Araki's manga. Several Japanese letters also appeared behind her.

"It's an interesting deal…"

"Yeah, so?"

"Daga, Kotowaru!"1

Miaomiao's expression darkened. He pulled out a paper fan from his system inventory and smacked the mermaid's head as a punishment for using Jojo meme and reading Miaomiao's old memory.

Then, he dragged the obnoxious mermaid into a building to give her a thorough punishment for the unexpected Jojo reference.

Realizing what Miaomiao was about to do, Chang'e transformed into a completed mermaid and escaped into the ocean.

However, Miaomiao was a step ahead of her. He transformed into a dolphin and chased after her.

As Miaomiao was a lot stronger than Chang'e, he caught up with her within no time. His new D moved around like a long tongue, licking every part of her body and penetrating her glory hole.

For hours, Chang'e moaned and screamed in ecstasy underwater as the dolphin's D was a new experience for her.

…

After Chang'e was educated and tamed, Miaomiao decided to use her as the next Dao Sentinel.

Currently, Miaomiao already had the Dark Ice Element of Xu Chu. However, the mermaid could use an interesting compound element in her previous life.

Moonlight Storm

It was the combination of Light Element and Wind Element. However, the moonlight contained the Primordial Life Essence, which was beneficial to any living being.

As for its power, it couldn't be used in combat at all. Instead, its element Qi could only be used to nourish animals, plants, mortals, and immortals.

In short, it was a passive buff to everything under the deity realm.

Even though it was useless in combat, it might be beneficial to strengthen the plants and the creatures on his planets, including his allies and himself.

Miaomiao began combining the required basic elements.

"Water, Holy Light, Wind, and a truck-load of Life Essence… Here we go!"

But as Miaomiao was about to merge the basic element crystal to form the Moonlight Storm Elemental Crystal, Chang'e crawled toward him.

"More… please."

"…"

For several days in the Isolated Training Space's ocean, Miaomiao ravished the mermaid's oily and slippery body until she fainted from exhaustion.

A portion of the ocean turned white, causing Meowmeow and Nya-Nya to complain for months that the seawater tasted bitter and metallic.
