Death God System

Their eyes met mine and without me asking they were already replying their conditions, nothing for me to worry about. Perhaps it was that they were good at reading people, maybe it was the obvious thing for me to do, but that feeling when the three of our gazes met confused me. 'Transparency... the seal?'

As much as I wanted to stay and spend time with them, I needed to exit and check on You Ye. I assumed that since the System started working normally I could control my exit. So I hurried myself a little bit. I briefly told the twins I would be back soon. They just smiled at me, for some reason they knew they were safe but it wasn't me telling them that...

"Shallow, I need to exit and I'm in a bit of a rush here..." before I ended I was interrupted.

"Can you lead us to exit?" The old man asked.

"Are you sure? If you exit you both will die in less than a year." I said with my best poker face, it was time to get some interest.

"You, how do you know?" I could see the confusion in both their faces.

"Your souls are dissipating, one of my powers allow me to know when someone will cease to exist naturally, your life force is less than a year."

"Even if we only have one year, we want to life and exit. We spend so many years together but it was like a curse..." the old woman said looking tearing at his husband.

"Oh... I see. So you will choose to live for one year over eternity I see..." I waved my hand at them.

"Stop! Please! Do you have a way for us?" yelled the old man.

'Seems it will have soon some real cultivators behind my back'

"I might have a way for you two, and you will be really grateful for this big chance. But..."

"What's the price we will need to pay?" asked the old woman.

"Indeed, you will have to pay a price but to be honest it not that big. After all, I'm giving you an eternity," Their eyes lit up. What cultivators fight for? Eternity, they fight against time and me precisely I had all the time in the world. "I signalled both twins."

"Yeah, just that." I grinned.

Their decision came as soon as my words left my mouth. They both kneeled on the ground.

"Master"

"Master"

"Good, you will never regret this choice. I will explain to you all later. Now I have things to do. See ya."

With just the thought I exited this place and my soul returned to my body. Having done this I realized that I could also use this place for scape or emergencies since both twins physically existed there I could also do so. I grinned. This Death Core is getting more and more interesting.

What greeted me was dawn. I remember everything happened at night yet it was dawn. How many days have passed?

Ding!

Space-time inside Death Core was unstable, Space-Time resumed into the normal rate. Time inside is Death Core is halved. Two day inside equals to one day outside. Time since host absence less than one day.

It's good that the System now is working with at 100%, its explanations are more reasonable. I wonder how it will be once the System upgraded with those tokens. I expanded my soul to check my surroundings everything normally expected for one thing, You Ye was gone. 'Shit!' I recovered both women and now I lost another?

"System, regenerate my body. Do you have any recording function to know where is You Ye?"

Ding!

Regenerating... Replying to the host no.

"Damn it" I cursed.

A few minutes later my body regenerated back to its perfect state. Now I could walk properly, it was good flying but I did also enjoy walking with two legs. Felt better.

I swear I checked every corner of this temple, there was no track of You Ye. Perhaps she was out since I didn't wake up? I decided to wait just in case. I had my senses covering the area.

Midnight arrived, You Ye didn't come, it was time for me to find this self-claimed wife.

I decided to exit the temple, she wasn't inside. The temple was surrounded by a lake so perhaps she went somewhere else. This time I walked on the water instead of flying, the moon was shining and truly beautiful if I wasn't worried by You Ye I would have enjoyed my moonwalk on water.

mm... my soul detected a slight vibrating on the surface of the lake. Something moving under the water caused to surface to broke its calmness...

'Under? Of course under the water'. I never scanned what was below.

I didn't think it, I just submerged. But it didn't feel like that at all. Well, I did sink, or more like fall. It looked like I was in the sky. And I was damn sure I was on a sky falling.

¡What the hell was going on? I submerged and I got teleported? Impossible I didn't felt teleported. Ilussions?'

Ding!

This is not an illusion. Neither the host was teleported.

Then I'm in trouble. I was falling at faster speed each second. I urged every Qi I had to stop from falling. I could see the land a few kilometres down. I was speeding up more, my Qi barely had any effect.

Ding!

Fly +1,000 XP.

Fly +1,000 XP.

"Are you kidding me!!!"

No
