It Cracked Open, Turns Out I'm Not Human

"Huh, how did a sea made of lightning appear in my Sea of Consciousness? What the hell is this thing?" Xuanxiao stared blankly at his own Sea of Consciousness, utterly baffled.

He could be one hundred percent certain that this Sea of Lightning had never existed before—it was as if it had materialized out of thin air with no warning at all.

Just as Xuanxiao was drowning in confusion, a voice suddenly rang out in his mind from nowhere: "The Cool and Unmatched System is at your service, binding host..."

"What? What kind of cringey system is this?

But didn't my system get chopped to bits by Big Brother's axe?

Could it be that the system never actually died—just faked its death? Or am I really the chosen one, and this is my second system?

Still, are all systems this edgy these days?

What kind of stupid name is that?"

Hearing the voice in his head, Xuanxiao's mind instantly flooded with countless question marks.

"Ding, cannot detect System Main Body. System binding error, system binding error..."

"Attempt to contact main body failed. Energy nearly depleted. Self-Destruct Program initiated."

"3, 2, 1."

Then, with a BOOM!!!, Xuanxiao felt something explode inside his mind.

"You've got to be kidding me—my system's gone again? Are all systems this unreliable these days? Is there somewhere I can file a complaint? I'm definitely giving this crappy system a one-star review—no, make it a minus-10086-star review!" Xuanxiao was filled with helplessness and the urge to rant.

Just then, another image appeared in Xuanxiao's Sea of Consciousness.

"This is..." Xuanxiao murmured in astonishment.

In the image, he saw his soul from his previous life, wrapped in a white light, arriving in the Chaos World.

The moment the white light descended into Chaos, it happened to fall right into a Sea of Lightning.

That Sea of Lightning was the same one that later appeared in Xuanxiao's Sea of Consciousness.

And that Sea of Lightning was quickly absorbed and devoured by the system.

Right after the Sea of Lightning vanished, a colossal eye suddenly appeared in the void.

Xuanxiao knew that eye all too well—it was the Eye of the Great Dao, the incarnation of the Great Dao's will that had made him the Thunder Demon God.

Once the Eye of the Great Dao appeared, it began relentlessly hunting down the system.

The two chased each other through Chaos for who knows how long.

The system seemed to realize that its act of absorbing the Sea of Lightning had thoroughly enraged the Great Dao. If it didn't abandon the Sea of Lightning, the Great Dao would never let it go.

After mulling it over for a long time, it chose to abandon both Xuanxiao and the Sea of Lightning, fleeing on its own to save itself.

At that moment, the image cut off abruptly. Clearly, this was the memory left behind by the system.

It was just that because the System Main Body had been chopped apart by Pangu, this fragment left with Xuanxiao—lacking the main body's support—couldn't activate properly and ended up blowing itself up.

"So that's how I came to the Chaos World. Looks like the Great Dao made me the Thunder Demon God because of this Sea of Lightning in my Sea of Consciousness.

But this system of mine is way too shady—it actually abandoned me, its host, just to save its own skin."

"Still, thinking about it, the system barely escaped the Great Dao's pursuit, only to run into Pangu, that ruthless bastard, and get taken down with one axe swing. Pretty tragic, really." Recalling the system's final fate, Xuanxiao couldn't help but sigh.

"But I still can't figure out—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 full of heavy doubts.

But now he had a golden thigh to lean on. When he ran into something he didn't understand, he naturally turned to that golden thigh for help.

"Big Brother, take a look for me—what exactly is this Sea of Lightning in my Sea of Consciousness?"

Xuanxiao opened his mind completely, allowing Pangu to enter his Sea of Consciousness directly and investigate.

Hearing Xuanxiao's plea, Pangu instantly scanned Xuanxiao's Sea of Consciousness in meticulous detail, then said in a tone full of shock:

"This sea in your Sea of Consciousness is the Sea of Lightning, manifested from the Origin of the Lightning Great Dao!!!"

The surprise in Pangu's voice genuinely startled Xuanxiao.

After all, even when Pangu knew he would eventually fall and transform into the Primordial World, he had never shown such astonishment.

"Big Brother, what kind of treasure is this Sea of Lightning? Is it something on the level of a Chaos Supreme Treasure?" Xuanxiao's eyes sparkled with joy as he eagerly looked at Pangu.

Pangu slowly shook his head at that: "This Sea of Lightning is no ordinary treasure. It is the physical incarnation of the Origin of the Lightning Great Dao itself."

"Big Brother, that doesn't add up! Haven't we Chaos Demon Gods always been the incarnations of the Three Thousand Great Daos?" Hearing Pangu's words, Xuanxiao grew even more confused.

Whether from his past life's memories or the inherited knowledge the Great Dao had instilled in him, it was clearly stated that Chaos Demon Gods were the incarnations of the Three Thousand Great Daos.

"Chaos Demon Gods are indeed the incarnations of the Three Thousand Great Daos, but in truth, they are merely a wisp of origin drawn from the Three Thousand Great Daos' source and nurtured into being. Compared to the Great Dao's origin itself, the gap is enormous."

Hearing Pangu's explanation, Xuanxiao was stunned. He had never imagined that they, the Chaos Demon Gods, were merely created from a wisp of the Three Thousand Great Daos' origin.

"Then what's the situation with this Sea of Lightning in my Sea of Consciousness right now?" Xuanxiao pressed on quickly.

"As it stands, this Sea of Lightning has clearly merged with you. Tell me in detail how this Sea of Lightning appeared in your Sea of Consciousness, so I can assess your current condition."

Hearing Pangu's request, Xuanxiao immediately transmitted all the images the system had just shown him to Pangu.

"Sss—" Seeing the system's series of actions in the images, Pangu couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath.

"Damn, so this system was this bold in its prime! It actually dared to snatch the Sea of Lightning from the Great Dao. No wonder when it saw me, it said it wanted to draw my blood and marrow. Compared to robbing the Great Dao, robbing me was nothing at all." Watching what the system had done, Pangu couldn't help but marvel.

Meanwhile, Xuanxiao stared at Pangu in disbelief. "Just now... did Big Brother actually curse?"

Today, Pangu had already displayed such intense emotional fluctuations twice—an extremely rare occurrence.

After carefully watching all the scenes, Pangu pondered for a long time before slowly turning his gaze to Xuanxiao.

"Little Brother, I think I already understand your situation. But after you hear this, you need to stay steady." This time, Pangu's tone was unprecedentedly serious and solemn.

Xuanxiao took a deep breath and said firmly, "Alright, Big Brother, go ahead. I can definitely handle it."

Pangu paused slightly, his voice heavy as he spoke. "Actually... you're not a person—you're a sea!!"
