I floated in the darkness of wherever I was waiting for the system to finish. The voice of the system as normal sounded inside of my soul, only for me to listen. I still couldn't track where the voice from the Demon Timeless Sword was coming from. In any case, it wasn't much longer than I needed to wait, the System resounded again.

That literally stupified me. I knew I was no smartass, but I literally understood nothing. It's been some months since I reached the conclusion that the Death Core and the System were two different things much to my annoyance and now they fused? If I had to guess, I bet it was due to the System doing something while it was overloading.

I frowned while opening the logs, I will have to slowly digest this.

...

Nothing was clear on my mind after the time spent on checking the logs. The Death Core was still a mystery. The information it gave me was like random pointers that didn't make any sense.

It didn't take much time myself to familiarize with the Purgatory and the second realm because I was already on it except this time I had full control over it as much as I could since it only gave me two options; Release the soul, Absorb the soul. As both name already explained what they do but not the exactitude of it. I could guess release the soul will be releasing the soul to the normal samsara process and Absorb I had no idea of what would happen but it was not an option using it on the Demon Timeless Sword. After I had control over this realm I could see the beautiful Demon Timeless Sword, a copy of Shi Yin, so gorgeous, so beautiful, so developed and so naked. 'Truly a great sight.' I must say I was really tempted to fuck her, she was so tempting. Since I was the ruler of this place I literally could do anything I wanted with the souls. But guess I was not that kind of guy to take advantage of women and much less that kind of advantage.

I explained to her where she was and what happened. I also knew why her soul was okay, so I also explained to her that. She thanked me for saving her life even though she had to remain here otherwise if I were to release her she will dissipate. We agreed that even though Demon Timeless Sword was a cool name for a sword, it wasn't for women as beautiful as her now that she was not a sword. She decided to use the name Shi Yin gave her, Shi Shi.

The System was still whatever it was processing so there were only to option left for me to do, wait or use the only available skill right now Home. I hesitate a little bit as I wasn't sure what would happen but as the saying goest curiosity killed the cat.

For some reason, I was expecting some light shining or something but nothing of that kind happened. I just teleported without any fancy, it was something similar to a thought and I appeared somewhere warm.

I didn't open myself right away I was enjoying this pleasant feeling as if the mother creation was embracing me. The feeling was too strange since I was made of death and I knew that when I open my eyes I would be surrounded by death.

Partially I was right and wrong at the same time, what greeted me was a desolate land, more like a death land. Yet inside was the more precious being I had in my life, Shu Yi and Shu Er. Both women were holding each other hands. All my worried dissipated once I looked at them. Who knew the one that kept away from me was myself. I didn't know if it was the System or the Death Core, but I was glad this time around to have them both.

What surprised me the most was that both of them were completely healed and their cultivations had been increased enormously. Both of them became Core Foundation's cultivators, and at the 3rd rank. 'Sigh, that ancient tower it was fully full of mysteries'

"Shu Yi, Shu Er, wake up." I called up to them, yet they remained unmoved.

I frowned, something was preventing them from waking up? The connection to their souls was present again. Since they were here before and I had no access I understood that it was normal that I recovered the control over both of them. If they didn't wake up I could force them to do so.

"Stop," A voice sounded.

'Weird, I'm also the ruler of this place. Where is this voice coming from?'

"Who are you? Show yourself!"

"You cannot disturb them, young boy. They are both still receiving my inheritance. If you interrupt the process now it could bring harm to both of them." the voice sounded like an elder, it was not clear if it belonged to a woman or man.

"Why aren't you showing yourself?" I frowned. Could it be that this new entity is bringing harm to both of them?

Once that thought crossed my mind I could feel a power like I never felt before in front of it Shu Yi and Shu Er looked like tiny ants. Moving my head to my surroundings I felt Death everywhere, it was part of me I could control it. Surprisingly the land where we were I also detected a subtle fluctuation of life, something that even if I used all the power I just got access to I wouldn't be able to obliterate. I decided to look on that matter later. As soon as the power of our surrounding reacted, the old man talked again.

"Please, I will show up myself but please don't overreact. Both girls are ok. We mean no harm."
