Lying Low Until the End of Time? Binding the System

Li Ping came to his senses and stopped worrying about not being able to return to Earth.

Since we're here, let's make the best of it.

Since things have come to this, the only thing to do is to face reality and live well in this unfamiliar world.

He focused his mind on sensing his own body and felt a vast and boundless power surging within him, far beyond what ordinary snakes could possess.

What surprised him even more was that his body was entirely composed of condensed energy.

This energy is also intertwined with a strong mix of negative emotions such as greed, anger, ignorance, and resentment.

"Good heavens, I've transmigrated into an energy serpent?"

It can't even be considered a carbon-based life form!

However, thankfully it didn't turn into a female snake directly, which is a stroke of luck.

He looked around and saw ancient trees reaching for the sky, towering and much larger than the trees on Earth.

From afar came occasional roars of beasts, and a mysterious energy permeated the world, slowly flowing into the body with each breath, subtly increasing one's strength.

Where exactly is this place?

This can't possibly be Earth!

There is absolutely no such thing as a vast forest on Earth consisting entirely of trees thousands of meters tall.

There is another kind of energy in the world that can temper oneself; could this be the legendary Spiritual Qi?

Upon thinking of this, his heart suddenly jolted:

Wouldn't that mean I could embark on the path of cultivation, perhaps even achieve immortality and attain eternal Longevity?

His eyes instantly flashed with a fiery light.

Compared to Longevity, the carefree life on Earth is utterly insignificant.

He couldn't help but burst into laughter, his heart filled with anticipation:

"Hahaha! I will cultivate myself to become an immortal Longevity forever!"

Perhaps one day I can even take human form, then roam the world freely, marry a fairy—how delightful that would be!

He chuckled softly, his voice filled with excitement.

But his joy was short-lived; his expression suddenly froze.

He suddenly realized that he hadn't Cultivation Method at all. How was he supposed to become stronger in the future?

Must we rely solely on instinct to breathe in and absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi?

However, this speed is too slow; even if one endures until their lifespan is exhausted, it will be difficult to become an immortal.

Suddenly, a thought struck him, "Wait a minute! I am an energy serpent, I shouldn't have the problem of lifespan running out."

So, theoretically, I am already Longevity?

The thought flashed through his mind, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he instantly became energetic. He immediately raised his head, opened his mouth,

It gulped down the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, desperately trying to absorb it and grow stronger.

One hour later.

He noticed that the increase in his internal strength was negligible, almost the same as normal breathing.

Upon receiving this result, he collapsed to the ground, utterly dejected, his face filled with helplessness.

Such deep breathing is completely useless.

It's unclear whether it's due to a special energy constitution or a lack of Cultivation Method.

It seems the only way is to grow stronger slowly over time.

"Alas, it seems I'm destined to be forever barred from orthodox cultivation; I can only rely on enduring time to slowly grow stronger."

He secretly sighed, realizing that his current state was just like that of the protagonist in an Longevity novel he had read in his previous life.

They may seem Longevity, but if killed by an enemy, they will still perish.

However, he has an advantage over the protagonists of those Longevity novels: he can gradually become stronger over time.

"Then I might as well lie low and wait until the end of time, until my cultivation is invincible, then I'll emerge into the world."

He chuckled, his State of Mind suddenly clearing.

In his previous life, he toiled like a beast of burden, finally encountering a demolition compensation that brought him overnight wealth. Before he could even enjoy it properly, he unexpectedly transmigrated to this place.

In this life, I can finally find a safe place to lie down and never have to work as hard as I did in my previous life.

Besides, he had no relatives left on Earth, and what he couldn't let go of was the eight-figure sum in his bank account.

Now that they have attained the path to Longevity, who would still want to go back to being A Mortal?

Having made up his mind, he looked around and decided to find a secluded cave to hide in.

I will never emerge into the world unless I become invincible.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he snapped back to reality.

I'm a time traveler!

In all the novels I read in my past life, which transmigrator didn't have a system?

Maybe I have one too!

With this thought in mind, he quickly whispered, "System... is my system here?"

Come out now!

Your master needs your loyalty.

He called out repeatedly for a while, but the scene remained silent, without any response.

Li Ping's face immediately filled with disappointment, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself:

Novels are all lies after all!

They even say that every time traveler comes with a system? That's all made up by those lousy authors; such a thing doesn't exist in reality!

Just as he was about to give up, a cold, mechanical voice suddenly rang out in his mind:

"Ding! Dear host, the Divine Beast Evolution System has been activated and is ready to serve you."

The host only needs to collect the emotions of all living beings to convert them into Evolution Points, continuously transform and evolve, and eventually become an unparalleled divine beast.

Does the host agree to bind to the system?

Upon hearing the mechanical voice in his mind, Li Ping's eyes instantly lit up with wild joy.

He had only casually called out the system on a whim, never expecting that it would actually exist.

This is absolutely a wonderful surprise!

Of course, he had considered the possibility of what was written in novels: the system harboring ulterior motives and treating its host as a tool.

But then I thought about it again. I'm just an energy serpent now. Apart from being a transmigrator, there's nothing that the system can scheme against me for.

Although one is theoretically Longevity, in this unfamiliar world, no one knows whether an accident or tomorrow will come first.

My previous statement about surviving until the end of time was nothing more than self-consolation when I had nowhere else to turn.

Now that the system has appeared, he naturally wants to bind to it.

Even if there were real hidden dangers, he accepted it.

First, I'll use the system to become stronger.

I'll talk about it again after a while, when I'm someone who "doesn't eat beef".

Besides, he might have a chance to break free from the system in the future.

Even if he ultimately fails to escape the system, just like in the novels of his previous life.

Abandoned after the system plundered everything.

But at least I lived a carefree life, leaving my mark on the world, so my journey through this world was not in vain.

Having made up his mind, he immediately focused his attention and replied with unwavering resolve, "I agree to bind with the system!"

"Ding! Divine Beast Evolution System is being bound."

1%, 2%, 3%...100%

Ding! Congratulations, host, binding successful!

A system interface appeared in Li Ping Ping's mind:

[Divine Beast Evolution System]

Name: Li Ping

Race: Monster

Age: 1 day

Realm: Early Foundation Establishment Realm

Divine Ability Talent: None

Emotion Points: 0

Evolution Progress: 0

Looking at the system interface that clearly appeared in his mind, Li Ping's eyes shone with joy, and the weight that had been hanging over him was finally lifted.

He hadn't been hallucinating; he had truly and successfully bound himself to the system.

"Hahaha! It seems I, Li Ping, am also a person with great fortune, not just a nobody who transmigrates without any luck!"

Suppressing his excitement, he stared intently at the system interface before him, scanning it several times, but he couldn't see any additional functions.

He couldn't help but ask, "System, this is way too easy!"

Are there any other features you haven't unlocked yet?

Logically, shouldn't you have System Store?

It contains Cultivation Method, elixirs, and Law Treasure that can be exchanged.

Otherwise, how can I quickly become stronger on my own?
