"Hmm? How did a sea made of lightning appear in my Sea of Consciousness? What the heck is this?" Xuanxiao stared blankly at his Sea of Consciousness, his face full of confusion.
He could say with absolute certainty that this sea of lightning had never existed before. It was as if it had appeared out of nowhere without any warning.
Just as Xuanxiao was filled with doubt, a voice suddenly rang out in his mind: "The Cool and Unmatched System is sincerely at your service. Binding host..."
"What? What kind of lousy system is this?
"But wasn't my system chopped to pieces by Big Brother with a single axe?
"Could that system have faked its death instead of actually being destroyed? Or am I truly the Chosen One, and this is my second system?
"But are all systems this childish nowadays?
"What kind of ridiculous names are these?"
Hearing the voice in his mind, Xuanxiao's head instantly filled with countless question marks.
"Ding! Unable to detect the System Main Body. System binding error. System binding error..."
"Attempt to contact the main body failed. Energy is about to run out. Self-Destruct Program initiating."
"Three, two, one."
Immediately afterward, there was a loud boom! Xuanxiao felt as if something had exploded inside his mind.
"No way, my system is gone again? Are systems really this unreliable nowadays? Is there somewhere I can complain about systems? I'm definitely giving this lousy system a one-star review. No, it has to be a -10,086-star review!" Xuanxiao was filled with helplessness and complaints.
Just then, another scene appeared in Xuanxiao's Sea of Consciousness.
"This is..." Xuanxiao muttered in surprise.
In the scene, he saw the soul from his previous life wrapped in white light as it arrived in the Chaos World.
The moment that white light descended into the Chaos, it happened to fall into a sea of lightning.
This was the same sea of lightning that had appeared in Xuanxiao's Sea of Consciousness.
That sea of lightning was quickly absorbed and devoured by the system.
After the sea of lightning disappeared, an enormous eye suddenly appeared in the void.
Xuanxiao was all too familiar with this eye. It was none other than the Eye of the Great Dao, the embodiment of the will of the Great Dao that had turned him into the Thunder Demon God.
After the Eye of the Great Dao appeared, it began relentlessly pursuing the system.
The two of them chased one another through the Chaos for an unknown length of time.
The system seemed to realize that its act of absorbing the sea of lightning had thoroughly enraged the Great Dao. If it did not abandon the sea of lightning, the Great Dao would never let it go.
After pondering for a long while, it actually chose to abandon Xuanxiao and that sea of lightning together, fleeing for its own life.
At that moment, the scene abruptly ended. Clearly, this was a memory preserved by the system.
However, because the System Main Body had been chopped apart by Pangu, this part left inside Xuanxiao could not activate properly without the support of the main body. In the end, it had blown itself up.
"So this is how I came to the Chaos World. It seems the Great Dao made me the Thunder Demon God because of the sea of lightning in my Sea of Consciousness.
"But my system is seriously awful. It actually abandoned me, its host, just to save its own life."
"But come to think of it, the system had barely escaped the Great Dao's pursuit, only to run into Pangu, such a ruthless character, and get taken down with a single axe. It really had it rough." Recalling the system's final fate, Xuanxiao could not help sighing.
"But I still don't understand. What exactly is this sea of lightning? Why did it make the Great Dao so furious? And why didn't the Great Dao take it away in the end, instead leaving it to me?" Xuanxiao's heart was still filled with layer upon layer of doubts.
However, he now had a powerful backer. Whenever he encountered something he did not understand, he naturally had to ask his backer for help.
"Big Brother, hurry and take a look for me. What exactly is this sea of lightning in my Sea of Consciousness?"
Xuanxiao completely opened his mind, allowing Pangu to enter his Sea of Consciousness directly and investigate.
Hearing Xuanxiao's plea for help, Pangu immediately scanned Xuanxiao's Sea of Consciousness from top to bottom. Then, his voice filled with shock, he said:
"The sea in your Sea of Consciousness is actually the Sea of Lightning formed from the Origin of the Lightning Great Dao!!!"
The astonishment in Pangu's voice gave Xuanxiao quite a shock.
One had to understand that even when Pangu learned that he would eventually perish and transform into the Primordial World, he had never displayed such astonishment.
"Big Brother, what kind of treasure is this Sea of Lightning? Could it be a Chaos Supreme Treasure?" Joy flickered in Xuanxiao's eyes as he hurriedly looked at Pangu and asked.
Pangu slowly shook his head. "This Sea of Lightning isn't an ordinary treasure. It is the physical manifestation of the Origin of the Lightning Great Dao."
"Big Brother, something about what you said doesn't sound right! Haven't we Chaos Demon Gods always been incarnations of the Three Thousand Great Daos?" Hearing Pangu's words, Xuanxiao became even more confused.
Whether it was the memories of his previous life or the inherited knowledge instilled in him by the Great Dao, both clearly told him that the Chaos Demon Gods were incarnations of the Three Thousand Great Daos.
"The Chaos Demon Gods are indeed incarnations of the Three Thousand Great Daos. However, in reality, the Chaos Demon Gods were nurtured from strands of origin extracted by the Great Dao from the origins of the Three Thousand Great Daos. Compared to the origins of the Great Daos, the difference is enormous."
Hearing Pangu's explanation, Xuanxiao was completely stunned. He had never imagined that the Chaos Demon Gods were merely created from strands of the origins of the Three Thousand Great Daos.
"Then what exactly is the situation with this Sea of Lightning in my Sea of Consciousness?" Xuanxiao hurriedly pressed.
"From what I can see, this Sea of Lightning has clearly fused with you. Tell me in detail how it appeared in your Sea of Consciousness. I'll need that to determine your current condition."
At Pangu's request, Xuanxiao immediately transmitted all the scenes the system had just displayed to Pangu.
"Hiss..." After watching the system's series of actions in the scenes, Pangu could not help sucking in a cold breath.
"Damn, so this system was that bold at its peak! It actually dared to snatch the Sea of Lightning from the Great Dao. No wonder it said it wanted to drain my blood and marrow when it saw me. Compared to robbing the Great Dao, robbing me was nothing." Seeing what the system had done, Pangu could not help exclaiming.
At that moment, Xuanxiao looked at Pangu in disbelief. "Just now... did Big Brother swear???"
Pangu had already displayed such intense emotional fluctuations twice today. It was an exceedingly rare sight.
After carefully watching all the scenes, Pangu fell into deep thought for a long while before slowly turning his gaze toward Xuanxiao.
"Little Brother, I more or less understand your situation now. But after you hear this, you'll need to keep yourself steady." This time, Pangu's tone was more serious and solemn than ever before.
Xuanxiao took a deep breath and said firmly, "All right, Big Brother. Go ahead. I can definitely take it."
Pangu paused slightly, then said heavily, "Actually... you're not human. You're a sea!!"
