As it gradually infiltrated and dismantled the system, Bai Yu slowly came to understand all the secrets of this unfamiliar system.
Though he had yet to dismantle the system's core, Bai Yu still couldn't help clicking his tongue in amazement.
All the materials he had dismantled contained World Origin. And not only was there a lot of it, it was high quality too. At the very least, it was all the World Origin of a Great Thousand World.
Rather extravagant.
Moreover, these World Origins were fused together into a flawless whole. From this, it could be concluded that they all came from the same world.
Thus, they shared the same origin and were perfectly flawless.
If Bai Yu hadn't used the power of the Origin Great Dao, he wouldn't have been able to damage even the tiniest bit.
World Origin was the source of all things in a world. It was the fundamental source from which all matter in the world was formed, and the wellspring of energy that formed the foundation of the world's laws.
It was also the energy a world needed to consume in order to function.
This showed just how important World Origin was to a world.
Laws formed the foundation of a world's framework and governed how it operated.
World Origin, then, was the energy needed to create matter and sustain the world's operation.
And as for the Great Dao?
The Great Dao was supreme and limitless. It could suppress everything, create everything, and disregard all laws and rules.
The Great Dao transcended concepts.
The Great Dao stood above laws and worlds.
The main material used to construct this unfamiliar system all came from the World Origin of a Great Thousand World.
This surprised Bai Yu. Could this system have robbed a Great Thousand World?
No, surely not.
This unfamiliar system was far too useless. It contained only an incomplete Origin Great Dao. How could it possibly have had the ability to rob a Great Thousand World?!
With his doubts and confusion in tow, Bai Yu continued dismantling it.
Everything outside the system's core was wrapped in the World Origin material of this Great Thousand World.
That made sense. World Origin could create any material that wasn't above its own grade. It was indeed the most exceptional material beneath the Great Dao.
It could even be called extravagant.
A Great Thousand World was a place even Bai Yu, as he was now, didn't dare enter.
And yet the main body of this weakling system had been crafted entirely from the World Origin of a Great Thousand World.
What a waste!
Bai Yu was very displeased with this kind of wanton squandering of precious things. Then he took all this World Origin of the Great Thousand World for himself.
That was what it meant for treasures to go to the capable!
Once he had dismantled and reclaimed all the World Origin of the Great Thousand World, only the system core remained.
The system core looked like a seed, only the size of a fist. It radiated the imposing aura of the Origin Great Dao, with countless mysterious rays of light and wondrous, extraordinary qualities.
Even more shocking, the Great Dao aura radiating from this system core wasn't incomplete. It was the complete Origin Great Dao!
This left Bai Yu rather bewildered.
What was going on?!
If this system truly contained the complete Origin Great Dao, how had he managed to capture and dismantle it so easily?!
He watched as a wisp of divine light slowly rose from the system core, then gradually took the form of a humanoid being. It had no features, only a human shape.
Bai Yu found it ugly. Before the humanoid being could speak, the Great Dao powers contained within the Abyss Devouring Banner and Yin Yang Treasure Bead rushed forward and directly annihilated it!
It wasn't your fault you were so ugly, but coming out and scaring people was wrong.
The System Spirit was stunned too. Wait, big brother, what are you doing? I came out to surrender. Why did you suddenly attack?!
To curry favor with Bai Yu, the System Spirit had deliberately taken on a human shape.
It had shown nothing but contempt for its previous transmigrator host, using him like a workhorse and not even bothering to say much to him!
However, Bai Yu only wanted to learn some of the system's secrets. He had no interest at all in taking on a subordinate.
After annihilating the System Spirit, Bai Yu found that the system core hadn't changed at all. Clearly, whether or not the System Spirit existed made no difference.
Bai Yu discovered that his Divine Sense couldn't see through the seed-like system core. That was hardly surprising, since the system core contained the complete Origin Great Dao.
Though he didn't know why it couldn't wield the power of the complete Great Dao, since he couldn't see through it, he might as well refine it directly!
Once he refined it and brought it under his control, he would learn all its secrets.
With help from the Great Dao powers of the Abyss Devouring Banner and Yin Yang Treasure Bead, and with the Three Thousand Origin Laws under his control, refining the system core wasn't difficult.
A preliminary refinement would be enough.
A thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.
Bai Yu had already preliminarily refined the system core.
At the same time, he had more or less figured out why the system core contained the complete Great Dao but couldn't wield its complete power.
He had also learned where this unfamiliar system had come from.
He had gained some understanding of systems like this Golden Finger, too.
However, since he had only one example to refer to, he could say he understood it, but not deeply or accurately.
Still, Bai Yu now had a rough idea.
This system had an extraordinary origin.
As a Great Thousand World was on the verge of destruction and returning to chaos, whether through a fortuitous coincidence or human intervention, it had somehow avoided total destruction. Its world-core fragment retained the complete Great Dao.
However, whether because the world had been destroyed or for some other reason, although the complete Great Dao had not become incomplete along with the Great Thousand World's destruction, it had returned to its origin and become a nascent, budding state.
In other words, it had become a Seed of Great Dao.
The Great Dao began as a newborn seed. It had to take root and sprout, grow strong, and eventually blossom and bear fruit. Then one could pluck its Dao Fruit and attain the Great Dao.
This was the Great Dao's growth, and also the process of comprehending it and, ultimately, bringing it under one's control.
After Bai Yu became a Daluo Golden Immortal, he would go through this process as well.
The core of this system was actually the world core of a Great Thousand World, while the World Origin that formed the system's main body was the World Origin of that same Great Thousand World.
That was why they shared the same origin and were perfectly flawless: no World Origin from any other world had been mixed in.
And this world core was not a complete world. It was only a fragment of the core.
Relying on the power of the complete Great Dao, this system traveled through the myriad heavens and worlds, binding itself to transmigrator hosts. Its true purpose was to steal the Origin of Laws and World Origin to nourish the Seed of Great Dao.
Once the Seed of Great Dao blossomed and bore fruit, the system would obtain the complete Origin Great Dao.
Then that destroyed Great Thousand World could be opened anew, transforming between life and death.
This was not only the rebirth of the Great Dao, but also the rebirth of the world.
That was the System Spirit's ultimate goal.
As for the System Spirit, it could be called the Heavenly Dao Spirit of that Great Thousand World, or it could be called the surviving will of all the living beings there at the moment the Great Thousand World was destroyed.
That was why the System Spirit had upheld the Heavenly Dao and the wishes of all living beings, crossing the myriad heavens and worlds tirelessly and sparing no effort to steal their Origin.
