As he infiltrated and dismantled it, Bai Yu gradually came to understand every secret of this unfamiliar system.
Although he had yet to dismantle the system's core, Bai Yu could not help clicking his tongue.
The materials dismantled from it all contained World Source. Not only was there a great quantity, but the quality was also high. At the very least, they were material sources from a Grand Cosmos.
That was rather extravagant.
Moreover, these World Sources had condensed into one whole. It could be said that they formed a flawless, complete entity. From this, it could be inferred that these World Sources all came from the same world.
That was why they shared the same origin and were perfectly flawless.
Had Bai Yu not used the power of the Source Great Dao, he truly would not have been able to damage even the slightest bit of them.
World Source was originally the source of all things in a world, the fundamental origin that formed all material in existence, and the wellspring of energy that established the foundations of a world's laws.
It was also the energy foundation consumed to sustain the operation of a world.
This showed just how important World Source was to a world.
Laws were the foundation that formed the framework of a world, the rules by which a world operated.
World Source, then, was the energy required to create matter and sustain the world's operation.
As for the Great Dao?
The Great Dao was supreme. The Great Dao was boundless. It could suppress all things, create all things, and disregard all laws and rules.
The Great Dao transcended concepts.
The Great Dao stood above laws and worlds.
The main materials that formed this unfamiliar system all originated from the World Source of a Grand Cosmos.
This left Bai Yu rather astonished. Could this system have robbed a Grand Cosmos?
No, definitely not.
This unfamiliar system was far too useless. It only contained a fragmentary Source Great Dao. How could it possibly have the ability to rob a Grand Cosmos?
With doubt and confusion, Bai Yu continued dismantling it.
Everything outside the System Core was wrapped in Grand Cosmos Source material.
That made sense. World Source could create any material not exceeding its own intrinsic grade. It truly was one of the finest materials beneath the Great Dao.
It could even be called extravagant.
A Grand Cosmos was a world that even Bai Yu currently did not dare enter.
Yet the main body of this pathetic system had actually been refined entirely from Grand Cosmos Source.
What a waste!
Bai Yu was deeply dissatisfied with such a wasteful act. He then claimed all that Grand Cosmos Source for himself.
Treasures belonged to those capable of possessing them!
After dismantling and recovering all the Grand Cosmos Source, only the System Core remained.
The System Core resembled a seed. It was only the size of a fist, yet it radiated the aura and pressure of the Source Great Dao. Countless mysterious lights shimmered around it, making it extraordinarily profound.
Even more frighteningly, the Great Dao aura emitted by the System Core was not a fragmentary Great Dao, but a complete Source Great Dao!
This left Bai Yu somewhat dumbfounded.
What was going on?!
If this system truly contained a complete Source Great Dao, how could he have captured and dismantled it so easily?!
A divine light slowly rose from the System Core, then gradually transformed into the shape of a humanoid creature. It had no facial features, merely a human-shaped form.
Bai Yu found it too ugly to bear. Before the humanoid creature could speak, the Great Dao powers contained within the Devour Abyss Flag and Yin-Yang Pearl pounced upon it, directly annihilating the humanoid creature!
Being ugly was not your fault, but coming out to scare people was.
The System Spirit was also dumbfounded. No, brother, what are you doing? I came out to surrender, so why did you suddenly attack?!
In order to please Bai Yu, the System Spirit had deliberately taken on a human form.
One had to know that when dealing with its previous Transmigrator host, it had been utterly disdainful. It treated that host like a beast of burden and could not even be bothered to say much to him!
However, Bai Yu merely wanted to learn some of the system's secrets and had no interest whatsoever in taking in a subordinate.
After the System Spirit was annihilated, the System Core showed no changes. Clearly, it made no difference whether the System Spirit existed or not.
Bai Yu discovered that even his divine sense could not see through this seed-like System Core. That was not surprising, considering that the System Core contained a complete Source Great Dao.
Although he did not know why it could not wield the power of a complete Great Dao, since he could not see through it, he would simply refine it!
As long as he refined and controlled it, he would learn all its secrets.
With the Great Dao powers of the Devour Abyss Flag and Yin-Yang Pearl assisting him, and with his own control over three thousand Source Laws, refining this System Core would not be difficult.
Initial refinement would be enough.
A thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.
Bai Yu had already initially refined the System Core.
At the same time, he came to understand why the System Core contained a complete Great Dao yet could not wield the power of a complete Great Dao.
He also understood the origins of this unfamiliar system.
He had gained some understanding of systems such as this Golden Finger.
However, because he only had this one as a reference, he could only say that he had some understanding, not that it was deep or accurate.
Still, Bai Yu now had a rough idea.
This system had an extraordinary origin.
When a Grand Cosmos was about to collapse and return to chaos, whether by coincidence or human intervention, it had not been completely destroyed. A fragment of its World Core had retained a complete Great Dao.
However, for some unknown reason, whether due to the world's destruction or some other cause, this complete Great Dao had not become fragmentary along with the Grand Cosmos's collapse. Instead, it had returned to its origin and become a newly sprouted state.
In other words, it had become a Dao Seed.
When the Great Dao was first born, it was like a newly born seed. It needed to take root and sprout, grow strong, and finally blossom and bear fruit. Then one could pluck the Dao Fruit and attain the Great Dao.
This was the growth of the Great Dao, as well as the process of comprehending it and ultimately controlling it.
After Bai Yu became a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, he would also undergo such a process.
The core of this system was actually the World Core of that Grand Cosmos, while the World Source comprising the system's main body was the World Source of that Grand Cosmos.
That was why they shared the same origin and were perfectly flawless, for they had not been mixed with the source of any other world.
And this World Core was not an entire world, but merely a core fragment.
Relying on the power of the complete Great Dao, this system traveled through the Myriad Realms and bound Transmigrator hosts. Its true purpose was to steal law sources and World Source to nourish the Dao Seed.
As long as the Dao Seed blossomed and bore fruit, the system would obtain a complete Source Great Dao.
Then, that destroyed Grand Cosmos could be opened anew, cycling between life and death.
This would not only be the rebirth of the Great Dao, but also the rebirth of a world.
This was the System Spirit's ultimate goal.
As for the System Spirit, it could be said to be the spirit of the Heavenly Dao of that Grand Cosmos, or the surviving will of all living beings from that Grand Cosmos at the moment of its destruction.
That was why the System Spirit upheld the Heavenly Dao and the final wishes of all living beings, tirelessly traveling through the realms and stealing source.
